TWRP on Android - Question

I'm trying to install Lineage OS onto my Moto E 2020 Ginna XT2052-1. I got my bootloader unlocked, plus USB support and ADB on my Linux PC. I'm using this guide:

getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-18

When I flash TWRP like this
$ fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.5.1_10-0-ginna.img

It says OKAY finished. But when I try and boot into TWRP from recovery it gets stuck in a loop trying to do the normal Android boot. I have to get back to recovery to break the loop.

Non, mais là il faut mesurer le délire. Sous prétexte de protéger les enfants (comme d'hab), il s'agirait d'obliger tout le monde à se soumettre à #Google !!!

Là, c'est tellement idiot, révoltant, impraticable, qu'on ne sait plus quoi dire.

5G auf altem Smartphone? Ich hab hier noch ein altes Samsung Galaxy 5 (SM-G900F) mit dem CustomROM LinageOS im Einsatz. Jetzt kommt der Provider und stellt auf 5G um. Da hab ich nun ein Problem und brauche ein neues Smartphone, oder?
Gibt es bei 5G einen 4G FallBack-Modus? Also, wenn 5G nicht unterstützt wird, dann wird das Smartphone 4G nutzen? Oder ist das eine so andere Technologie, dass es entweder 5G oder gar nichts gibt?
Gibt es irgendwo eine verlässliche Übersicht, welche Geräte 5G tauglich sind oder wie man herausbekommen kann, ob ein Gerät 5G unterstützt?

Ich hab die neue 5G-SIM-Karte mal eingelegt, aber erst gar kein Netz bekommen. Dann konnte ich mal kurz telefonieren, dann wieder nicht und die Mobilen Daten gehen gar nicht. Und jetzt scheint sogar die alte SIM nicht mehr zu gehen ... 🤔🙁 Und in ein paar Tagen gehts in Urlaub ... super Zeitpunkt für sowas! 😠

Hat einer / eine von euch Ideen / Tipps / Infos ... oder kennt wen, der / die mehr weiß?

I got some call from a random number. It was a guy who claimed my number had dialed him. I assured him I had made no such call. He didn't believe me. He felt I was a telemarketer, and as such, invited me to meet him so I could get the "beating I deserve". I politely declined his offer and bid him adieu.

But, I share his displeasure with telemarketers. And I note that frequently they come from what appears to be local numbers, even if it's clearly from an overseas caller. So, I do wonder if my number was actually portrayed by a telemarketer to this gentleman. Does anyone know how such a thing may work? And what can be done to prevent such a possibility?

I checked my phone's settings, and found that my phone is encrypted. But, I also found, under "credential storage", that a whack of oddball entities are listed as having "trusted credentials" (see image -- it goes on much longer than the screenshot). Anyone else have a similar list? I note there is the option to "clear credentials", but I don't know if this is wise to do.

I use LineageOS 22.2 (Android 15).

(Do not be mean, aggressive, or sarcastic in that issue; you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Also, please don't reply to this message about how you don't need an app; a blocking often offends.)

Congratulations on the launch 😀 I'm trying to use the new app on GrapheneOS (a secure version of Android). I've opted in to statistics sharing, gone through the login flow, and correctly authentica...

Love how #Google has decided to lock down #Android in increasingly ridiculous ways. I can no longer save files to my downloads folder, for "security and privacy reasons." This includes USB transfer from my PC to my phone, as well as Tailscale. Not even iOS is this restrictive! Switching to something like #GraphineOS or #lineage becomes more and more tempting by the day.

From what I've read up to now, Google is very busy to save their arse. Google is Keeping Pixel phone sources now to it self, because there a chances that Google will be hacked up and divided up in smaller companies which will have to compete with each other, just like that process Ma Bell phone Company in the 1960s Of The last century

Do you remember the phrase?

We don't have to

We don't want to

We're the f%cking phone company!

Why would you be so masochistical and go to a totalitarian controlled ecosystem?

Just use your Android as you are used to and hack the vanilla Operating System in a manner that it is usable and enjoyable to you

On apple you will be torturing yourself and you will be paying them premium for crappy Hardware

Dang, it sounds like #Google is really trying to kill #FOSS #Android OSes.

What are my #AOSP peeps planning to do?

If OS updates get a lot slower because of this, I might have to go back to iPhone. 😭🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

UPDATE: This update from the #CalyxOS project helps answer some questions: https://calyxos.org/news/2025/06/11/android-16-plans/

It would seem that all Pixel devices will require a lot more work to port Android 16 to. It's not impossible, by any stretch, but Google has absolutely stopped helping the community in any way.

This is very bad news, all around. Not the worst news, by far, but quite bad.
