Hi.

Only Lineage 20 (I assume that is the source for e-1.20-t) boots and works fine for me. It’s this version:

All the others (Lineage 18.1, e/os/ R and T version) I can’t get to work.

Has anyone managed to install e/os/ on Samsung A71?

Can you try this version, I used different sources now:

What recovery did you use to install. I tried lineage, crdroid and twrp recovery and it won’t install.

When I tried to install here is what I got.

  • Samsung Galaxy A71 4G SM-A715.
  • Do not flash on Exynos models.

Do you have this device?

Yes. SM-A715F to be precise. Just for reference curently I’m running unoficial build of lineage 21 from xda. All roms from xda (lineage 20 and 21) and crdroid 9 and 10 works for me.

Can you please try this one:

Nope, no luck. same problem.

the /e/ Android Security Patch Date must be newer than the one already installed…
(This /e/OS v2.0 version includes the Android security patches available until April 2024.)
you should need to goback to stock first.

/e/OS T 2.1 version would have May 2024 security patches if that helps…

Update with May patches

I gave it a new try and my situation is the same as @monke - Lineage 20 and 21 work, crdroid also works fine but I can’t get e/os/ to boot for a life of me. I’m getting the same error as posted in the picture above.

Just a side rant - please murena give us e/os/ GSI T, I will donate to the cause. Most of newer devices can’t revert back to gsi Q.

Did you follow these instructions:

Yes, I tried Lineage 20 and 21 and their recovery and installation methods. I can install and boot into both LineageOS and they work without any problems.

But when you try to install e/os/ zip (directly or sideload), it ends with an error:

assert failed: update_dynamic_partitions(package_extract_file(“dynamic_partition_op_list”))

ERROR: recovery: Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1).

I tried twrp, crdroid recovery, lineage recoveries, all versions that I could find.
When I dirty flash e/os/ system over Lineage or crdroid, it doesn’t boot but enter into some recovery fastboot menu.

@Xxpsilon: didn’t you have this message also on Xiaomi?

@ronnz98
the error message

ERROR: recovery: Error in /sideload/package.zip (status 1)

I know well,

assert failed: update_dynamic_partitions(package_extract_file("dynamic_partition_op_list"))

on the other hand, has not happened to me recently.
