Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online servicesphone

As I understand this, there is an SD or SDXC card formatted as “phone storage” in your phone. If this is correct, you will need to make a full backup of your data and afterwards re-format the card as “portable storage”.

Thanks that was it but now e reboots ever and ever what can i do? i have installed the 1.5 and put out the sd and microsim card . i cant do anything ever and ever the e logo comes and samsung logo and then it does again…

Are you aware of this page, it is specific to herolte – is this your device? There was this support topic Upgrade the Samsung s7/s7+ to /e/OS R with SD card set as internal storage.

v1.17.1-q · e / os / 🚀 Releases · GitLab

I gave this answer Upgrade Samsung S7 to e/os 2.4.1 help needed, please - #2 by aibd maybe there are some useful links from this thread.

However due to the outage of /e/ servers the 1.17.1 herolte ROM cannot be downloaded at present.

i formated it but when i updated it reloops samsung - e samsung - e idont know what to do now… iam now in e recovery can i do something there?

You could use your PC to take the best backup possible.

Then, one option, would be to carry out a fresh install with Format data.

Please bear in mind in offering this suggestion, I do not actually know what is your phone and Android version.

recovery shows me i have 1.17.1 on handy but dont load… can i load it with easy installer ?

You could provide more specific info on your phone model as this will help people to help you.
We gather you talk about a samsung S7 (herolte) …can you confirm this?

Please can you just check that you can also boot into download mode Info about Samsung Galaxy S7 - herolte with

With the device powered off - hold Volume Down + Home + Power

… just in case you need it.


But, with any luck, you can pick up the install instructions, Install /e/OS on a Samsung Galaxy S7 - “herolte”, from the section

Installing /e/OS from recovery

and

Downloads for herolte

jes ican go in download mode… but i want the newest version of os or is it not possible with s7?
i have no heimdall when i start a command on windows he sais heimdall not found…

Maybe you will find that you need to replace recovery … but you said you wanted to start from the existing recovery, that is the starting point I suggested. No heimdall required just adb sideload.

(Hopefully your recovery will update during the install.)

now in recovery mode it says i have 1.17() without the 1 … now step by step i want to reset the complete handy and put on the newest version what should i do… i start in recovery mode and can choose Rebootsysnow/Apply update/factory reset/Advanced . Than choose apply update?(is here a chatmanager to support faster?)

In that case you could start from the top of the instructions, but this probably is not absolutely necessary.

Edit If you did previously have an SD card as adoptable storage, and you have removed it, you will need to use Format data or Factory reset from within your recovery.

I am fairly confident that if you

  • apply update on the mobile and
  • adb sideload from the PC,

exactly as said on the install page, then if your recovery does not update it will update at the next OTA update (to e-2.6) as long as your Updater is set to “Update recovery”.

This is done in the System Updater app,

Settings > Updater > top right 3 dot menu > Preferences > Update recovery
