Install LineageOS on figo

Basic requirements

Important: Please read through the instructions at least once before actually following them, so as to avoid any problems due to any missed steps!

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

Tip: It is highly recommended to have the latest official EMUI package installed on the device, before proceeding.

Unlocking the bootloader

Important: An official method of unlocking the bootloader is not available, but there may be some unofficial methods available. Unofficial methods are not recommended or supported by LineageOS, so use them at your own risk! An unlocked bootloader is required to install LineageOS.

Installing a custom recovery using `fastboot`

Download a custom recovery - you can download TWRP. Simply download the latest recovery file, named something like twrp-x.x.x-x-figo.img.
Connect your device to your PC via USB.
On the computer, open a command prompt (on Windows) or terminal (on Linux or macOS) window, and type:
```
adb reboot bootloader
```
You can also boot into fastboot mode via a key combination:
- With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Power.
Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC finds it by typing:
```
fastboot devices
```
Tip: If you see no permissions fastboot while on Linux or macOS, try running fastboot as root.
Flash recovery onto your device:
```
fastboot flash recovery <recovery_filename>.img
```
Tip: The file may not be named identically to what stands in this command, so adjust accordingly.

Tip: Some devices have buggy USB support while in bootloader mode, if you see fastboot hanging with no output when using commands such as fastboot getvar .. , fastboot boot ..., fastboot flash ... you may want to try a different USB port (preferably a USB Type-A 2.0 one) or a USB hub.
Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation:
- With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Power.

Installing LineageOS from recovery

Build a LineageOS installation package.
- Optionally, download an application package add-on such as Google Apps (use the arm64 architecture).
If you are not in recovery, reboot into recovery:
- With the device powered off, hold Volume Down + Power.
Now tap Wipe.
Now tap Format Data and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage.
Return to the previous menu and tap Advanced Wipe, then select the Cache and System partitions and then Swipe to Wipe.
Sideload the LineageOS .zip package:
- On the device, select “Advanced”, “ADB Sideload”, then swipe to begin sideload.
- On the host machine, sideload the package using: adb sideload filename.zip.
  Tip: If the process succeeds the output will stop at 47% and report adb: failed to read command: Success.
(Optionally): If you want to install any add-ons, repeat the sideload steps above for those packages in sequence.

Note: If you want the Google Apps add-on on your device, you must follow this step before booting into LineageOS for the first time!
(Optionally): Root your device by installing LineageOS’ AddonSU, (use the arm64 package) or by using any other method you prefer.
Once you have installed everything successfully, run ‘adb reboot’.

Warning: Depending on which recovery you use, you may be prompted to install additional apps and services. We strongly advise you to opt out of installing these, as they may cause your device to bootloop, as well as attempt to access or corrupt your data.
