But there are unofficial /e/ builds (see this thread), and there have been for quite a while. They build without any changes to the /e/ source or build tools so, arguably, there is no need for LOS support.
Fingers crossed that an official build emerges, but the unofficial builds are good enough to use until it does (IMHO).
It seems the build for suzuran is not accessible. Trying to access https://images.ecloud.global/dev/suzuran/ I receive a 403 “Forbidden” Error: “You don’t have permission to access /dev/suzuran/ on this server.”
Please fix soon, I’d love to give the Z5C a try!
I have unlocked this phone successfully and enabled USB debugging. I have working ADB and Fastboot. However, even after successful flashing recovery… I can’t boot into recovery. Anyone having this issue? I used /e/ for several years on Nexus 5x… but I needed a more reliable device. Please help in anyway you can.
Z5 compact just shows you black screen on bootloader, but the led light is blue. Then you need to flash twrp to your recovery and then you can open it. When phone is off, press power and volume down until it starts.
And you maybe have the wrong twrp version, I had the same problems but little bit of searching I found right version of twrp. It was something like 3.2.something
TWRP image for suzuran, built by Bernhard Thoben ( Professor-Berni on github, Berni-0815 on XDA forums), and uploaded by me to AndroidFileHost so that there is a direct link to the correct version
The XDA forum thread for this recovery is here. Please follow the instructions on that page to install and boot it on your device
I truly appreciate you all. I apologize for the late response. I’m going to try again right now with TWRP 3.2.1. I will post an update. The problem is that the recovery never loads… It simply goes right to Sony screen then onto loading the Android OS.
Please tell me that you mis-typed . This ROM is for a Sony device (Xperia Z5 Compact, codename “suzuran”. If you try to install anything built for this device on a Samsing device, then nothing will work!
