Hi, i'm trying to install postmarketOS on my Galaxy A5 (2015) and i'm trying to install lk2nd through heimdall and it will not boot to lk2nd. If i try holding vol up + power it just restarts.

Hi! Could you explain how exactly did you flash lk2nd? i.e. which lk2nd build did you use and which commands did you issue to flash it?

Not every SM-A500 is FU. Try getting into heimdall to check the model.

I used Heimdall to flash it and it was the latest build

I will assume you used lk2nd.img. Can you confirm the exact model of your device (SM-A500??) I believe it should be written on the back of the housing, at the bottom. Likely also on the box.

Can you try making sure your device runs the latest firmware from samsung and then try installing lk2nd again?

I tried that, it used to run LineageOS 18 but i reflashed the latest stock back to it and it still wouldn't show.
