Yesterday when I wanted to switch from LineageOS 22.2 to 22.1, I foolishly performed a factory reset/data wipe on LineageOS22.2 Recovery before removing the Google account I had logged on to on 22.2 with MindTheGapps. Now, if I flash MindTheGapps, I cannot login to my google account on the phone -- it fails. I can use the phone if I flash an OS without GMS. But then I cannot st the PIN/screen-lock. I suppose something is amiss on the persist partition? I do have the backup which I took before logging in to Google. Is there still no trustworthy method for flashing the persist backup? Thanks   EDIT: solved this by installing the factory, GMS backup via qdl (as in here, can also be done via QFIL); signing on to Google on the stock firmware; removing the Google account from the phone on Stock; then, flashing LineageOS.

I have managed to find a recovery for the "microG" flavour of LineageOS 22.1 and that has allowed me to flash 22.1. For future reference if anyone needs, I downloaded it here from microG's website. The archived image from timschumi as pointed out by @TeZtdevice worked perfectly. I have just booted into 22.1 and will check battery life and usability in the next couple of days. Thanks for all the help!   EDIT: Daaaargh! I forgot to remove my google account from the phone when I was on 22.2. Now I can't re-login on the phone on 22.1! Had to reflash LOS without MindTheGapps to be able to use the phone, and even so I am not being able to set the screen lock PIN. Now for another odissey -- getting Gapps to work on the phone given that I forgot to remove the Google account before I wiped data. 🤦‍♂️

Thanks. I guess I will return it to stock via QDL once more, then flash 22.1. Hopefully the 22.2 recovery that I have will allow installing the 22.1 zip! EDIT: That didn't work out. I will need to find a 22.1 recovery... If anybody has backed up 22.1 files, help is appreciated. Thanks!

FYI: 22.1-20250407 is the last build of 22.1 https://web.archive.org/web/20250504214754/https://download.lineageos.org/devices/pro1x/builds ...but I don´t find the other img´s, Sorry.

Thanks! That is fantastic. Now, I downloaded that image and tried sideloading it but the 22.2 Recovery refuses to install it with error: "Current SPL: 2025-06-01 Target SPL: 2025-03-01 this is considered a downgrade. Denying OTA because it's SPL downgrade". Is there no other way than me reflashing the phone to stock prior to installing 22.1? Since I don't have the 22.1 recovery, do you guys believe 22.2 Recovery will do?
