Endless loop on LG G5 (h850) after update to 1.10-r

• /e/ version: 1.10-r
• Device model(s): h850
• Developer mode enabled: no
• Device rooted: no
• Trackers blocker enabled: NA

Summary

I’m having an unexpected endless system boot on a h850 device. For couple of hours the white ẹ symbol is dribbling on its black screen.

Originally, the device had 1.8.1-r working. I had updated the device with 1.10-r using the OTA update process unsuccessfully – ended with endless boot. Then I followed with the fresh install process, see below, but with the same unsuccessful boot result.

The problem

Steps to reproduce

Following the official install process:

• flashing a new version 1.10-r recovery while in bootloader,
• factory, cache and system formatting using the recovery and
• confirming md5sum for the downloaded system zip file
• sideloading the system zip file successfully

What is the current behavior?

Still, after reboot system is booting endlessly (couples of hours).

What is the expected correct behavior?

Boot system in minutes.
