My S5 (klte) could not cope with system change from e-2.6.3-t-20241220-UNOFFICIAL-klte to e-2.6-s-20241220-UNOFFICIAL-klte and became inoperable. Only the installation of a Samsung Android firmware revived it. I haven’t seen Marshmallow (Android 6.0.1) for a long time
I was unable to install recovery-e-2.6-s-20241220-UNOFFICIAL-klte. After the recovery.img was converted to recovery.tar.md5 and flashed with Odin3, the red Odin3 message FAILED! was displayed. The installation of twrp-3.7.0_9-0-klte.img.tar then worked.
The flashing of e-2.6-s-20241220-UNOFFICIAL-klte.zip was okay, but after the reboot the same bootloop scenario as mentioned above = bootloop!
Using Odin From stock to flash the “twrp.tar”,
Using TWRP to install the recovery-e.img
Using the recovery-e to finally install the main /e/.zip
Apply a factory-reset if /e/ is not booting
I could at least fix the remaining few building issues I had for klte. Does not mean that it will actually work now, but one step closer.
Currently uploading the ROMs to Sourceforge…
@piero, of course I had tried all of this - without success! The S5 (klte) was my first smartphone, which I had degoogled for the first time over five years ago. I know it very well, and - it has survived all modifications. It’s as if it was unbreakable …
The brothers and sisters of the Galaxy S5 (klte) are also hoping for a makeover: S5 Plus (kccat6), S5 Neo (s5neolte) and Note 3 LTE (hlte). They wait sadly when I tell them that there is little hope of improvement …
For the S5 Plus (kccat6) there is nothing after A9 (Pie), and no further development.
For the S5 Neo (s5neolte ) stay tuned
In terms of the Note 3 LTE there is development, I think I will try a build when Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (ha3g) LOS19 builds are more mature
Also, the recovery-e-2.6.3-s crippled my Galaxy S5 (klte)…
By the way: The download speed of sourceforge .net is once again very slow today. It can take up to 40 minutes before a .zip is available - if the download is not interrupted.
The e-recovery is still too large (18.279 KB) and therefore cannot be installed correctly.
Restoring via stock firmware is as time-consuming as building your ROM. That’s why, for once, I stick to one of the “great wisdoms” of computer science «Never Change A Running System» and prefer your /e/OS-T 2.6.3
Thank You for this ROM, installed it from scratch after TWRP format and wipe.
e-2.6.3-s-20241222-UNOFFICIAL-klte.zip -encryption works and I will post updates as they go.
