    Using lineage-14.1-20190104-nightly-addison-signed.zip

    Using TWRP 3.2.3 I wiped and reformatted. I have a rooted moto z play

    Once I get any LineageOS installed using the adb sideload command on Moto Z Play  Presently at 14.1 (71.2).  the phone always wants to boot into TWRP first.

     

    This my second ROM. ( successfully ROM’ed LOS 14.1 on Moto X Pure 2015) so I know a little from a  year ago.  What am I doing wrong?
