/e/ recovery works or not?

Hello everyone.

Please tell me if recovery works or not?

I have questions:

  1. How to install an operating system using recovery? I want to select an image on the phone! I don’t see this function.

  2. Please confirm that there is no solution to the problem with unauthorized?
    Deleting keys doesn’t work

  3. Why when I connect my phone to the computer, no matter which one using the lsusb command, I always see Google Nexus 4 instead of the phone model I’m connecting.

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

This feature is not available on every device.

My guess would be that if the /e/OS recovery can’t access storage (because of encryption it can’t decrypt) the feature is not displayed because it’s no use … I could be wrong, though.

Anyway … Depending on the device, installing the OS via recovery might not be the official way to install, there are devices which use fastboot mode to get installed. If in doubt, stick to the device documentation.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Waiting for Linux user expertise on this one.

In Windows it’s not uncommon to see other device names in the driver list, as generic drivers might fit a whole set of devices and work fine regardless which device was used to name them. The driver my Windows uses for my Fairphone is called “LeMobile Android Device”, for instance. LeMobile is a different phone vendor than Fairphone, but Windows and the driver don’t care because the LeMobile driver is automatically determined to fit to my phone capability-wise, and everything’s working as it should.

Hi. I used your advice that you gave to other users and it worked now, I just installed Magisk on microSD and installed and it worked, unfortunately I could not access Magisk because the system is encrypted as you wrote. I think this is the correct behavior.

I tried to delete the key:

$ rm -rf .android/*

I tried to change different cables

I tried through the developer settings Revoke USB debugging authorizations

I tried to disconnect the phone cable, then turn it on, etc.

I mean the situation when I am in RECOVERY mode

as for the lsusb command you can ask your expert friend to check it he will get the same result it will be Google Nexus 4

Hello.

As for the “unauthorized” error, I found a solution and it is very simple and it is my carelessness. You need to click on Enable ADB, then enter the command:
$ adb devices in the terminal on your computer and everything will work.
