Samsung A510F Stuck at /e/ logo on first boot

This issue doesn’t show up on my Samsung Galaxy A5 (2016) SM-A510F “a5xelte”


For the SM-A510F were officially only provided by Samsung: StockROM Android 5.1.1, 6.0.1 and 7.0.0. An official Oreo 8.0.0 is not available - in any country, from any carrier.


I recommend an absolutely clean installation, which means …

After TWRP booted …

  1. click on “Wipe”

  2. Click on “Format Data”

  3. Type “yes” and confirm format action

  4. Once format data is done click on the “Back” button

  5. Now click in TWRP on “Advanced Wipe”

  6. Select Partitions to Wipe and check the checkbox:

    ✓ Dalvic / ART Cache
    ✓ System
    ✓ Cache
    ✓ data
    ✓ Internal Storage

  7. Swipe to confirm wipe action

  8. Once wipe is done, click on the back button to go back to TWRPs main screen. Click on the “Reboot” button.

  9. Click on “Recovery”, after that “Swipe to Reboot”.

  10. Wait until your device rebooted into TWRP Recovery, now you can flash the awesome /e/ OS ROM dev 9-pie.


PS. I have read your three postings here and here and here and am somewhat surprised by your observations and assessments.
