    Hello!
    I really like this page and your instruction how to do what I am on to.
    The biggest problem seems to be that the lineageOS downloadpage is empty or no longer existing.
    Do you have any idea where to download the installation files otherwise?
    Thx
    Reinhard

    Looks like the Lineage OS 15.1 build for HTC One A9 has been removed from LineageOS build roster itself.

    LineaegeOS team has strict norms to support since LineageOS 15.1, so it is possible that the maintainer of Lineage OS 15.1 HTC One A9 is unable to follow. This might have lead to the removal of the build from LineageOS build roster.

    The Official LineageOS 15.1 build is removed and there is no unofficial build found as of now.
    I hope some other user may be able to give you the ROM file!
