Using Lineage Flash Tools

Lineage Flash Tools is a web based utility that allows you to run some select adb and fastboot commands to install LineageOS recovery and OTA packages without installing adb and fastboot locally. Access it on our downloads page here.

As installation steps vary by device, please refer to the device-specific installation instructions.

Requirements

• A browser supporting WebUSB such as Chrome or Edge.

Connect your device

Fastboot client

1. Reboot your device to fastboot mode before connecting to the fastboot client.
2. Press the connect button and select your device from the pop-up list.

ADB client

1. Reboot your device to recovery mode before connecting to the adb client.
2. Select Apply update > Apply from ADB using the touch screen, or use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select.
3. Press the connect button and select your device from the pop-up list.

Supported commands

1. fastboot boot path/to/image.img
2. fastboot flash <partition> path/to/partition.img (e.g. recovery)
3. fastboot getvar <var> (e.g. version-bootloader)
4. adb -d sideload path/to/lineage-*.zip

Resolve USB transfer errors

Sometimes Android devices have trouble communicating through certain USB ports, cables, or hubs due to the high throughput of data required by the flashing process. To resolve transfer errors:

• Don’t use USB hubs, USB extension cables or adapters if possible.
• Try a different USB cable.
• Try a different USB port.
