I tried it on my sma505f (turkey), I followed the instructions but it was just stuck on the /e/ logo. Which country model did you try it?

By the way lineage os 20 worked well. So it may be about an issue of the rom itself.

Yes might be. I do not have the device but forking a lot of LOS20 sources for /e/OS. Most works but some unfortunately not. I will build another ROM the the sources are updated or make a current /e/OS ROM.

Thank you for your reply! I appreciate your effort making /e/ roms!

I made a new build, however A50 sources were not updated:

e-1.19.1-t-20240114-UNOFFICIAL-a505f.zip

You might try also to get e-recovery from this ZIP and try to install from there:

Thx. I’m trying it now.

Edit: It didn’t work again, unfortunately.

It works for me, with the method of dirty flashing @ronnz98 e/os/ system image upon lineage 20 from the initial post.

It’s very, very stable (not even a single restart in a month) and battery life is great. I’m very pleased. Thanks to @ronnz98 , as always.

I already posted a few times but to repeat - tutorial how to do it is here:

@sethdot : does 2.1 T work for you?

I stil didn’t test it but 1.19. works without any problems.

I will try it out soon and post a more detailed instructions for installation.

I will also try to build rom based on your work that can be installed directly from twrp or other recovery.

Hey @ronnz98 it’s not booting on a50 stuck on bouncing e logo whole time

try this:

@ronnz98 Already tried but not working i think something is failing while booting i tried other kernels its not kernel problem and tried other recovery tried dirty flashing always stuck on bouncing e logo

Didi you take system files from roonz98’s rom (system.new.dat.br) and convert them to system.img?

After that, install Lineage from the initial post and install system.img over Lineage (either through recovery or fastboot, it doesn’t matter). I like to first boot into Lineage to check if everything is fine and then install system image.

In short, it’s the same procedure as if you were to install GSI image instad of zip.

Does 2.1 T version also work? Should I build a 2.3 T version?

I gave the one I had away so I can’t try it out unfortunately.

I will test it as soon as I get my hands on another one (we run a service shop).

all verisions stock in logo .
It installs successfully but it gets stuck on the logo
