What I have done:

1) Revert SGH-T889 to T889UVALJ1 (4.1.1)

2) Unlock Phone

3) Root Phone

4) Enable USB Debugging

5) Use Odin to load TWRP 3.3.0-0

6) Reboot and make TWRP the default

7) Wipe both cache options, system data

8) Install lineage-14.1-20180812-nightly-t0lte-signed

This is the output:

Installing zip file ‘/external_sdcard/Android/Upgrade/Linage OS 14-1/lineage-14.1-20190126-nightly-tolte-signed.zip’

Checking for Digest file…

Target: samsung/lineage_t0lte/t0lte:7.1.2/NJH47F/6a4804c52f:userdebug/release-keys detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/SYSTEM

Patching system image unconditionally…

The progress bar starts to move and stops at or below 10% progress and stays there.

I can load Resurrection Remix Marshmallow without a problem why do I have trouble with Lineage Nougat?

I have loaded this on another phone and it works fine, so I am not sure what I may be doing wrong or what else I can try.

Any advice or help would be great.

Thanks
