Anybody flashing/installing Murena'

[K71]

Hi all! Hope you are fine!

Before buying a new Murena phone, i wonder if there is any expert or technician willing to update and/or install Murena. To be honest, I dont find instructions easy and I dont see too many tutorials on youtube, so i dont see myself neither confident neither with any idea about what steps to follow.
That´s the reason of finding anybody to do it.

In this case, the smartphones to update are a Samsung S8, SM-G950F, and the installation
in a Xiaomi Redmi 9A, M2006C3LG.

Regards!

no luck for the moment the redmi 9A is not actually plan to be updated to AOSP 15,

[LIST] Supported devices which would receive an AOSP 15 or /e/OS V build

This is the initial list of currently supported devices for which we plan to release AOSP 15 or /e/OS V builds: This list consists of community builds. Official builds are typically OTA OS upgrades, and information about them will be shared separately. These builds will require manual installation. In some cases, devices may need a stock ROM installed first. Details will be provided in the installation guides, which we will publish when these builds are released. This list is preliminary, and …

this is the first phones list, it will be updated later.
list of actual devices with aosp 15 roms :

First set of devices which have received the A15 build

This is the first set of devices for which we have released the A15 or Android V builds. As you may be aware we had released two lists which had more device names existing and new, that we were planning to introduce on A15 Due to certain upstream changes, that came in at the last moment, the builds for the remaining devices failed. We will release them along with v3.1, which should come out towards the end of this month or early August. You can download the builds from our documentation si…

I have a MI 8 and will ask my brother to update it when MI 8 rom 15 will be uploaded.

Hi loki, thanks for your information. I was away these days. Now, back at home i can check everything. In the 2 lists you provide i dont see neither the Samsung Galaxy S8, so, basically, i cannot install any of both phones, is that right?

In the same way, my family gave old phones half-broken, but again, i dont see them in any of the these 2 list neither in the official Smartphone Selector . So i guess i cannot do anything again with them, can you confirm?:
Samsung Galaxy A70 (SM - A7005FN / DS)
Samsung Galaxy A13 (SM - A135F/DSN)

One question apart in case anybody knows. My current phone using Murena (Samsung Galaxy S8), is not updated automatically since 04/2022 (Android 9). Do you think can i use the new installer to have it updated? /e/OS Installer
or at least to reset it as new to the last update possible?

Samsung Galaxy S8

Is not supported by Web Installer. There is no upgrade path shown from the install page, Info about Samsung Galaxy S8 - dreamlte from Android 9.

To recover the phone would require a fresh install as per that install page.
