Samsung S6 update to version 0.9 causes bootloop

  • /e/ version: e-0.9-n-2020051554230-dev-zerofltexx.zip
  • Device model: SM-G920F
  • When it started to occur: after update from e-0.7-n-2020021541379-dev-zerofltexx.zip and boot
  • Reproducible with the last /e/ version: e-0.7-n-2020021541379-dev-zerofltexx.zip works fine
  • Reproducible with LineageOS: N/A

Summary

Device update at 0.7 to latest 0.9 is not possible from Updater. Update via TWRP to 0.9 and booting. Device perhaps 1 min showing up and usable but then rebooting. Same procedure again on next reboot ...
