I try to adopt /e/ by using easy-installer on Ubuntu 21.10.
I connect my samsung galaxy S9 and follow the process but in the last step, the phone freeze on the following screen. After I restart the phone the only boot is on TWRP
Any help on what I need to do ?
Hi @Sebu I had a look at the log, but I have to leave the house now !
An observation, it is a long log, with much repetition, but it contains many positives.
Effectively it looks to me as if the blocker is recorded at line 2881.
Error installing zip file '/sdcard/VENDOR-27_ARI9.zip'
I then searched this item backwards, but at a time limited first pass did not reach a conclusion WHY.
That is what we need to resolve. You may well find more clues in the log if you focus on that item; I will look again later.
And / or you could always just try again and I would try to use a different cable, in case some edge case issue there is causing so much repetition in the log.
As you say Easy Installer just does it’s thing and does what is required and you do not influence its choices. Follow the link below to check the version of /e/ which Easy Installer will install today; it is Oreo.
But the phone will still boot into Download mode? You might need to catch it as it powers down, and button press for Download mode. Or not?
The trouble with the easy installer is, that it only offers the latest stable release, which is android 8 Oreo for the Samsung S9. As I mentioned before, if you were on a newer stock version, installation may not work:
If you don’t want to wait for the easy installer to support android 10 Q, your best bet I think would be to try manual installation. You’ve already got adb, Heimdall and TWRP installed through the easy installer, so starting from “Resize Userdata” should do the trick: https://doc.e.foundation/devices/starlte/install
If you try this, you’ll probably need a newer patch though. The install doc links to version 1.0, but I’d try 6.1 mentioned in the thread I posted in my first reply (post no.21). (Sorry, the forum doesn’t allow me to post more than 2 links at a time.)
I try to reboot from the download part and everything goes fine this time.
Don’t ask me why
I want to thank you all for your kindness in helping me find out what is wrong.
