Install LineageOS on t6vzw

Basic requirements

Important: Please read through the instructions at least once completely before actually following them to avoid any problems because you missed something!

Make sure your computer has working adb. Setup instructions can be found here.
Enable USB debugging on your device.

Unlocking the bootloader

Note: The steps below only need to be run once per device.

Warning: Unlocking the bootloader will erase all data on your device! Before proceeding, ensure the data you would like to retain is backed up to your PC and/or your Google account, or equivalent.

Enable OEM unlock in the Developer options settings on the device, if present.
Connect the device to your PC via USB.
Open a terminal on the PC and boot the device to fastboot mode by typing:
```
 adb reboot bootloader
```
You can also boot into fastboot mode via a key combination:
- With the device powered down, hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until HBOOT appears, then release the buttons.
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC finds it by typing:
```
 fastboot devices
```
If you see no permissions fastboot or <waiting for device>, try running fastboot as root/Administrator.
From the same terminal, type the following command to obtain your bootloader unlock token:
```
 fastboot oem get_identifier_token
```
Visit the HTCDev Bootloader Unlock website and follow the instructions there to obtain your unlock key and unlock your bootloader. If your device does not appear in the drop-down list, select All Other Supported Models.

Note: If your device is not supported by the HTCDev Bootloader Unlock website, you will need to use an alternative bootloader unlock method like SunShine.
If the device doesn’t automatically reboot, reboot it. It should now be unlocked.
Since the device resets completely, you will need to re-enable USB debugging to continue.

Installing a custom recovery using `fastboot`

Download recovery - visit twrp.me to obtain the latest version of Team Win Recovery Project for your device.
Connect your device to your PC via USB.
Open a terminal on the PC and boot the device to fastboot mode by typing:
```
 adb reboot bootloader
```
You can also boot into fastboot mode via a key combination:
- With the device powered down, hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until HBOOT appears, then release the buttons.
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC finds it by typing:
```
 fastboot devices
```
If you see no permissions fastboot or <waiting for device>, try running fastboot as root/Administrator.

Flash recovery onto your device:

 fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_img.img

Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation:
- With the device powered down, hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until HBOOT appears, then release the buttons. Navigate using the volume keys and select RECOVERY using the Power key.

Installing LineageOS from recovery

Build a LineageOS install package.
- Optionally, download 3rd party application packages like Google Apps
Place the LineageOS .zip package, as well as any other .zip packages on the root of /sdcard:
- Using adb: adb push filename.zip /sdcard/
- You can use any method you are comfortable with. adb is universal across all devices, and works both in Android and recovery mode, providing USB debugging is enabled.
If you aren’t already in recovery, boot into recovery:
- With the device powered down, hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until HBOOT appears, then release the buttons. Navigate using the volume keys and select RECOVERY using the Power key.
(Optional, but recommended): Select the Backup button to create a backup.
Select Wipe and then Advanced Wipe.
Select Cache, System and Data partitions to be wiped and then Swipe to Wipe.
Go back to return to main menu, then select Install.
Navigate to /sdcard, and select the LineageOS .zip package.
Follow the on-screen prompts to install the package.
(Optional): Install any additional packages using the same method.
Note: If you want any Google Apps on your device, you must follow this step before the first reboot!
(Optional): Root the device by installing the LineageOS su add-on (use the arm package) or using any other method you prefer.
Once installation has finished, return to the main menu, select Reboot, and then System.
