Hello. I tried: heimdall flash --RECOVERY twrp-3.5.2_9-0-j5xnlte.img --no-reboot

adb push e-0.17-q-20210606-UNOFFICIAL-j5xnlte.zip /sdcard

adb sideload e-0.17-q-20210606-UNOFFICIAL-j5xnlte.zip

And i got /e/ to work! Great. But when i encrypt… The phone asks for a pin and reboots, but gets stuck in a reboot loop. I had top take the battery out and then wipe the phone and re-install the OS!
Can i encrypt somehow? How? Thanks!

Also I may be missing something but I don’t see an official, stable build for the phone listed in your header. All are for Oreo/Android 8 not Q/10👇

Edit: I now see the ROM you are loading is unofficial. There are others here if you search who have the same issue with unofficial builds. Sorry I am of no help…
