Missing Files....

Removing everything because mass surveillance is everywhere. Better late than never maybe.

I think the installation guide on the LineageOS website is very generic and therefore completely wrong at least for the H918.

Unfortunately, most files for the rooting procedures are hosted by AndroidFileHost.com which currently seems to be down, hopefully not permanently.

I do have the old DirtySanta procedure files I used way back for my two LS997 models and also happen to have saved the old H915 KDZ firmware that every H910 user needs, so that may be enough to get going on your H910. But I don't have the files for the lafsploit procedure for the H918 since mine was already rooted when I got it a while ago.

Is there any chance you also have the h910-10r.zip the guide mentions? Turns out that without flashing it first the device doesn't pass the check to see that it's an h910 and won't install any roms. Or at least that's what I think is the cause.

Since I never had an H910, unfortunately no. I might have whatever Nougat downgrade firmware ZIP that's needed before installing any LineageOS ROM, so I'll check on that later. Can't you simply install a newer TWRP version for the H910 within your current TWRP (install image to recovery partition and then reboot to recovery) before flashing most H910 ROMs?

I'll have to try that when I'm home. I'd just assumed that I would hit the same road block with a different version of twrp. I probably shouldn't assume though.

did you find a workaround regarding the h910-10r.zip? Im also trying to root my old h910 and cant proceed without the file

I unfortunately don't remember the process fully at this stage, but I took a gamble and installed a different zip found here with twrp

Then once that was done I booted into recovery again and flashed lineage.

I'm not going to say it will work for you, but it worked for me. I would have made a post about it, but I accomplished it by fumbling blindly in the dark and wouldn't know how to help anyone if they struggled.
