E-0.16 on mi 5 buggy due to unwritable space

/e/OS Devices Xiaomi

Hi @smu44 thank you for taking the time to respond.

I did another TWRP attempt and it works now. So I don’t know what happened and if it’s my fault, something with the documentation, or something with the latest TWRP, but here is the full story in case it helps anybody else:

  1. Followed the documentation exactly using TWRP. Problem as described above.
  2. Started the e-0.16 recovery found in the downloads section.
    • In /e/recovery format data/cache/system
    • Attempt sideload, fails
  3. Boot back to TWRP and sideload there
    • Succes
    • Storage is writable now after booting

Apologies. It was confusing to me too.
