Afrer: recovery e-2.7-u-20250114-UNOFFICIAL-herolte (= recovery.img)

According to Recovery e-2.7-u error-free installation, but e-system only boots up to the animated e-logo and stays there without any further reaction = does not work.

one is searching for path to userdata via adb oush / pull or via DD

it is something about dev/block/*/by-name/userdata

on my old s4mini (qualcomm) adresse must differ, also mine is older…

so

/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/userdata

is not acurate to herolte device as msm is for qualcomm snapdragon based devices,
herolte is a samsung exynos based device

:white_check_mark: Works without any tinkering!

Can you try LOS recovery as you did for the S8?

Good idea, but the experiment fails!

I unstalled:

According to Recovery LOS21.0 error-free installation, but e-system only boots up to the animated e-logo and stays there without any further reaction; no bootloop = does not work.
