Changelog:
-May security patch
-Updated to 0.17 version
Sorry for the delay
Hi @The_Penguin, do you plan futher updates for this model? Is it safe to use the last update of May '21 or is it too old?
As a general remark, itās kind of a pity that J5 500FN is officially supported (on which I installed /e/ already) but this dual-sim brother of it is not 
Hi ronnz98, I tried your build using this procedure [HOWTO] Install /e/ on a Samsung smartphone with Windows easily , everything installed fine with no errors until the e os animation screen (9), where the battery is making a constant vibration of about 2-3 seconds leading to a phone reboot.
I have used Odin3_v3.14.4, twrp-3.7.0_9-0-j5xnlte.img.tar , and your build e-1.15-q-20230913-UNOFFICIAL-j5xnlte.zip
could you try using twrp 3.3.x-x
(twrp can install it, Odin is not need)
if donāt work, try using the recovery-e that is included in the .ZIP
(twrp can install it, Odin is not need)
are you sure baterry is charged enought ?
(it donāt charge when on download mode)
HI piero, thanks for your help, I tried it with twrp-3.3.1-1-j5xnlte.img.tar and twrp-3.4.0-0-j5xnlte.img.tar, same results, the phone restarts after the e/os animation and a vibrating of ~2 seconds. Battery is ok, it was around 70-85%.
I searched for the recovery-e in the .zip but is seems it is not included in the latest .zip, nor in OPās original:

But it seems to be only in T or S versions
Apparently Roland (ronnz98) created another, newer build which installed fine, and works flawlessly from what I see so far. Big thanks @ronnz98 and piero!

Thanks for the feedback. Great to hear that it works!
I forgot to post the lasted update for version Q 1.17 also here, please see main post:
Since Q reached end of life this will be last version. For R I could not build, but maybe someone wants to try this.

I had to go through a few boxes to find the old devise on which I had a problem like that and found a Galaxy A3 2016 that did that, too! I put a note on it 4-5 month ago.
And funny enough, it still did it today.
It was after a factory reset on stock Android 7 and it stayed on the Samsung boot logo, vibratingā¦
My SOLUTION: After I left it for +1h doing itā¦ I unplugged it from the charger and it booted right away.
So, did you have yours on the charger, too?
Hi, no I didnāt have it on the charger, as I said above it was the newest build that only worked for me.
Cheers!
