Thanks, that I’m also prefer when flashing a new/different version.
thanks. I get an error stating I need a vendor Image for Android 10 for my device.
Can you share where you got the vendor image from?
There are several ways to download a Stock Android 10. An easy way is to update the stockROM via Samsung OTA update directly on the S9+
hmm… tried downloading BL and Vendor.img linked in the LOS17.1 forum on xda but didn’t work either for LOS17.1 or eOS version. just kept stuck at boot logo.
reverting back to my nandroid backup.
will wait for the stock firmware download to complete and make another attempt over the weekend
Thanks @piero, for now used SamFirm to download the latest firmware directly from samsung servers

Do you have tried to flash vbmeta.img? ?
no, is that a vendor image file? where can i download that
EDIT: just googled it, and from XdA thread on it not sure if it needs to be specific to device / ROM version
EDIT 2: I am currently on eOS on Android 8 for star2lte
Most devices which where delivered with Androud 8.1 and Android 9 does have this vbmeta partition.
You have to flash it with
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img

fastboot on a Samsung Device ??
Yeah, right.but I don’t know how to flash it, incl. command with odin or heimdall
Update:
I flashed Samsung Stock Android 10, followed by flashing TWRP then
- tried this Q image for eOS but get an error 'Failed to map file ’
- Tried flashing LOS 17.1 -> works
- retried installing eOS Q ROM with the same error 'Failed to map file ’
apparently samsung phones dont require a vbmeta?
UPDATE: attempted with TWRP 3.4 and 3.3.1
Could be, not every device have it.
Sorry, don’t know why the eOS-Q rom isn’t booting on your device. It is working on some other peoples devices
my bad, in the end turned out to be a bad download. 
redownloaded the file again and it flashes fine.
puh … glad to here that. Hope you will enjoy my ‘LeOS’

@SuzieQ I am assuming you are running this build on a S9+?
is the recent app button working for you? it appears to be a known issue with Android 10, although again, working for me on LOS 17.1
in my case the gesture navigation options are not available.
Oh no, (still) I prefer LOS 17.1. /e/OS-Q is still much ‘too wobbly’ for me.
I appreciate @harvey186 very much as a highly talented ROM builder, but his creative software architecture does not knock my socks off.

Yesterday I have build a never server with more power and 2 GB free space. In the moment i’m building a pure eOS-Q-GSI without any personal changes.
I think in October I will also build some Samsung roms with pure eOS.
I really like to hear that you use your talents in the right places. Not many here can do software engineering the way you are able to do it. Happy building.
