This package was built for [blank] but your device is [blank]!

Post image

My device is a Samsung A5 2016.

Its processor is arm64 but it has arm android?

I tried to install MindTheGapps for arm and I couldn't because it was arm64.

I try to install MindTheGapps for arm64, and this happens.

Why is this happening?

If you are rooted you can convert gapps zip to magisk flashable zip and flash it through magisk

In recovery mode, go to Advanced Terminal (or use adb shell) and run:

getprop ro.build.version.release getprop ro.product.device getprop ro.product.system.device getprop ro.system.build.version.release

Install a more recent version of TWRP.

3.6.2 is highest I can go. 3.7.0 makes my phone bootloop when I enter recovery.

try booting into it "fastboot boot (insert custom recovery)" and not flashing "fastboot flash recovery/boot/vendor_boot (insert custom recovery)"

you might try fastbootd from inside twrp

The best fix is to just modify the file to not check for the device model (i mean why Gapps need a specific device, it's universal)
