LineageOS Install via ADB sideload fails on gts210vewifi with Error 7 (mkdir "/cache/recovery/<UUID>/" failed: No such file or directory)
Expected Behavior
The .zip file should be installed via ADB without a problem.
Current Behavior
The installation fails with error code 7 and the following message: mkdir "/cache/recovery/<UUID>/" failed: No such file or directory.
Possible Solution
I do not know how this installation works in detail, but manually running mkdir /cache/recovery/ from TWRP terminal prior to sideload install fixes the issue for me.
Steps to Reproduce
This Stackexchange post describes the problem in detail although for another model and an inofficial build.
In short:
- Download official build (
lineage-16.0-20201010-nightly-gts210vewifi-signed.zipin my case) - Start ADB sideload installation
- See the error below (I copied the output from the post before, mine is just slightly different, but I used the official build mentioned above).
