Hmmm, I’ve never seen Android 10 version for S5 mini, in fact people on xda claim that it is impossible to get it running on this hardware.

I will give it a try.

@sethdot any feedback ?

Hello @ronnz98 ,

So i tested the three builds and :

  • e-0.21 is stuck at the boot screen
  • e-0.23 and 1.17 bootloops both

What about:
e-0.21-o-20241107-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte.zip

or
e-0.23-p-20240116-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte.zip

I think for these I used same sources as here:

Just check you take the correct TWRP version, look in thread above

i have used e-0.9-p-20200606-UNOFFICIAL-kminilte.zip from @Chimpthepimp in the past and it worked…
it was still stored on my PC, i just uploaded it right now…in case.

TWRP 3.3.1-0 was working for the pie build on this device,

and also for R builds on the Galaxy S4, so have a try using it here, even for the 1.17-q build.

latest (probably buided by a bot) is not always the least, and can be the cause of your failure !

Hello guys @ronnz98 ,
I did my test with TWRP 3.6.0_9 (the latest), my bad.
So i retried with the TWRP @piero send and here are the results :

  • e-0.21-o-20250115, e-0.23-p-20250115, e-1.17-q-20250115 (the 3 builds of this topic) doesn’t work (bootloop or return automatically to recovery)

For e-0.21-o-20250115 there is a strange behavior, see the screenshots (yup it was a video but the website doesn’t allow video)

I tried to wait like you said in this post

One more trick you can try is to flash the boot.img included into the 0.9-p.zip build over an already flashed 0.23-p

With TWRP or odin ? Do you mean i extract the boot.img from 0.9 and flash it alone after flashing 0.23 ?

Yes, flash 0.23-p using TWRP, then try a normal boot or reboot to recovery and flash the 0.9-p boot.img using TWRP (you will need to select “install image” instead of “install a .zip”)

Ok i tried it with both build of 0.23-p + 0.21-o (115) and it didn’t work
