It must be OLDER than the “android Security Patch Level” included in the /e/ build you want to install, otherwise you risk to change your device into Brick.

• You will find this information about stock OS on the device :

• you will find this information about /e/OS build on the install instructions page for you device if your device is supported by /e/

• but also on the release article about the /e/OS version you want to install even if you device have no instructions page :
  the title of the article need to match both “/e/OS version” and “android level”,
  currently "e-3.2-a15"
