Installation of MintBeta beta-1403 and 1404 including fix for GiovanYCringe's TWRP fails
Please refer to bug #33
Device information:
- Mint Kernel Version: starting from beta-1403 to latest (1404), package MintBeta-1403.A12.AOSP-Enforcing_A50.CI.zip
- Exact device model: SM-A505FN/DS
- Android version: LineageOS lineage-21-td/lineage-21.0-20250125-UNOFFICIAL-a64_bgN-signed.img (available here )
- Baseband version: A505FXXU9CVG1
Describe the bug After having unlocked (SIM and boot) my smartphone, I've flashed it using Odin with a stock XEF image SM-A505FN_XEF_A505FNXXS9CVJ2 (found on samfw.com). After a first successfull System boot, I flashed the recovery with GiovanYCringe TWRP 3.7.0_11 (available here ) Then from TWRP, I installed LineageOS 21 above (equals to Android 14), and just after I installed the optimized Mint Kernel.
But for both releases beta-1403 and 1404, the installation of the zip fails, telling :

It does not fail with the build Mint-A12_AOSP_A50_UB.zip you supplied 3 weeks ago.

Hi! So actually the previous issue of Mint not installing on official TWRP due to the incorrect device name has been fixed. This time it seems your TWRP build is missing programs required by AnyKernel3, but on my side Mint installed just fine using the latest recovery from the official TWRP site.
At this point you could either try installing the latest TWRP from the official site or just use my TWRP builds which also pack extra fixes for Mint's new ramdisk changes.
