I spent around an hour figuring out how to install this release. Had issues with aborted update due to downgrade of a newer SPL version. Figured out that it is necessary to install the oldest builds available from lineage for…
- dtbo.img
- vbmeta.img
- vendor_boot.img
I used files for version lineage-20.0-20240123.
Otherwise this release won’t install! The files should be added or documentation should mention this.
I wanna ask for an addition to this guide:
There’s a warning, that unlocking the bootloader will wipe the TA partition and that it should be backed up, before. If anyone could add a link to a guide and the necessary software for backing up the TA partition, that would be much appreciated.
The only stuff I found was
- TA Backup v2 (8 years old), which wants me to downgrade to Android 4.4 or something.
- Backup TA v9.11 (11 years old), which requires root. To get root, I only found guides requiring me to unlock the bootloader, which I want to avoid, because the TA partition isn’t backed up.
Neither seems to help me with my problem (did I get something wrong?), besides being somewhat outdated…
Another little thing: the guide says “Make sure that your model is listed…”, but this is already the guide of a listed device 
You need to make sure that it is one of supported models listed on bottom of page. Basically only XQ-BC42 XQ-BX52 XQ-BC62 and XQ-BC72 are supported, there is rough;y 10 models total.
I have not made backup of TA partition and everything works (but fingerprint scanner, but I doubt that is the reason)
