Galaxy A5 (2017) with LineageOS automatically reboots when turned off. - Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe

Hi,
After some hard work I finally got TWRP and LineageOS installed on my Galaxy A5. It now works properly except that when I try to turn it off, the screen becomes black for a few seconds and then it reboots.
Did anyone encountered this problem before? Do you have an idea of a possible fix?

Same problem here. Have you found a solution?

Hi,
Yes, I finally found a solution. The problem was that I was trying to install Lineage OS 14.1 (based on Android 7) on a phone where Android 8 was installed.
At that point, you have two solutions:
Install a stock version of Android 7 before flashing LineageOS
Find a version of LineageOS 15 that works on Galaxy A5.
I chose option 1 and it did work perfectly.

Thank you. I'll try that as soon as I can. (I will also choose option 1.)

When i try to install a stock version of Android 7 with Odin, it fails with this message on the phone in download mode : "SW REV. CHECK FAIL(BOOTLOADER) DEVICE: 7, BINARY: 4". Any idea ?

Stuck on "penguin" boot (RESOLVED!)

Hopefully someone can help me its for X800 china version
I tried to open the phone after 2 years, and tried to update it with official ROM from http://123.59.123.195/cn/download/phone/30
After updating, when I tried to reboot it, it got stuck on this black screen with a small penguin, and then after few seconds, it restarts back with the same black screen and the penguin.
I can still access TWRP recovery if I press the vol up button while it is restarting. I tried installing different custom ROM, but to no avail. I would really appreciate if you can help me fix my phone
EDIT: RESOLVED
It was looping on fastboot mode (the penguin icon)
Tried installing an older version, lollipop based, from Cuoco92 (from here https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=57901) and it worked again (thanks Cuoco92!)
Upon reading online, it seems the partition may have been corrupted since I'm trying to flash a MM ROM from a lollipop ROM ,without updating the firmware
I found out that I need to update the firmware to 16S, which I downloaded from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/le...ollipop-marshmallow-firmware-x800-cn-t3463736
(thanks hugoprh!)
After that I am able to install any ROM, from MM and up (was able to install Lineage OS 14.1)

LineageOS 16 Encryption

Is there a problem with encryption with LOS16?
On trying to encrypt a brand new install on a 3T it goes to the black encryption screen with green android logo and then just says Android is starting. Encryption doesn't happen but Magisk is removed.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

TWRP help

I updated to android 10 and tried following the tutorial to get TWRP on it, but everytime I try to launch TWRP it hangs on the logo.
Is it that TWRP has to be updated for a70 android 10? or am i doing something wrong?
TWRP does not work with Android 10 at the moment for the A70. I do not know about other phones. Android 10 changed the way they use recovery so it will take a while. https://twrp.me/site/update/2019/10/23/twrp-and-android-10.html
Hi, I also had the same problem, the logo screen remains fixed once I enter Recovery! We have to wait for the developers to find a solution in this regard. Regards! ??
Revert back to android 9 as android 10 is unstable for A70.
But if its working fine for you then wait for twrp to get updated

Question Pixel Experience 11 plus reboots after getting notification. Which I installed after miui 12.0.1.0 was doing same

I got an miui 12.0.1.0.RCOINXM update after which phone started to randomly reboot, especially when there was some drop down notification or call.
So I decided to install custom rom. I tried to install Pixel Experience Recovery but that was giving "System is destroyed press power button to shutdown". I fixed it by flashing orange fox but using orange fox pixel experience got in boot loop. So I installed Pixel Experience Recovery from orange fox recovery and the used ADB to sideload pixel experience which worked and I setting up my phone but suddenly I get a notification and the phone reboots which is similar behavior to miui 12.0.1.0.RCOINXM. is there some thing else that I can change like kernel or something which can resolve this problem.
I am using PixelExperience_ginkgo-11.0-20211216-1154-OFFICIAL.zip
pls help
PS : the phone remains in boot loop if not plugged in charging and idk why but fastboot logo didn't change to pixel experience's

PixelExperience_ginkgo-11.0-20211216-1154-OFFICIAL.zip is for the original Redmi Note 8 (ginkgo)
Judging by your MIUI version (if i remember correctly the new Note 8 ships with MIUI 12.5), you are in the wrong forum, the original Note 8 forum is here.
OR
You have installed a Note 8 (ginkgo) rom to a Note 8 (2021) (biloba) witch is not compatible with the new note 8.
Thanks for reply Aninuscsalas but No my redmi note 8 is 2019 edition and even after install correct roms even downgrading the same issue persists
I think as my device is A partition only devices [Non-A/B] there might have been something wrong during the update process and that might have made some problems.
Here is my partition table can anyone pls confirm if this is Ok?[in attached]

Sorry i can't help. (I know almost nothing about phones.)
But if your phone is the 2019 version then you are in the wrong forum.
Maybe someone in that forum can help:
