Easy installer hangs on Samsung Galaxy 7 after formatting on "send package with abd"

Community Easy Installer
,
1

Hey everybody,

I tried to use the easy installer on a Galaxy 7, SM_G930F (as the installer said). Worked well so far but after the formatting the device just says “Now send the package you want to apply to the device with adb sideload ”. The installer itself is stuck at “Select apply update from ADB”. (see picture at end of post)

Here are the last few lines of the log file:

Any ideas as to what I can do are very welcome. I downloaded ADB already but I don’t know what filename to apply…

Thank you for your time!

At the point in time of your photo you need to tap “ADB sideload” on the device, worded as Apply update on your PC screen. Note it is probably correct there are 2 steps, but the wording is simply not exactly what you are seeing on the device!

Edit, hence the log says

waiting for recovery

… recovery is there, but not in sideload mode which is required.

I tried tapping that on the phone, but nothing happens. However I can press ‘cancel’ just fine, as well as the back button.

… after trying these buttons several times there’s now two new lines on the phone screen:
Install completed with status 3.
Installation aborted.

The easy installer hasn’t changed. I tried a reboot and then got a notice along the lines of “your device’s memory is compromised, you need to reset it”. This is turning out to be regular Android though. I’m starting over, will update later.

I have already installed e/OS/ on a Samsung S7, and I remember having some issues. I’m on vacation, I don’t have much time, but I’m sharing the notes I took during my installation. Some parts may not be relevent to you.

“”"
Samsung boots directly without going through the recovery; you need to press VOLUME UP as soon as the screen goes black.

I encountered a bug mentioned in this issue: ERROR: Failed to receive file part response! · Issue #347 · Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall · GitHub

I resolved it by using this fork: GitHub - alexax66/Heimdall: Heimdall is a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung Galaxy devices.
“”"

You have already achieved step (7)

So it’s been a few days but I just gave it another go – same issue. However, now the phone says “E: Timeout waiting for messages from minadb”

@gcher495 thank you for the tips! I’d read about pressing the buttons quickly so I didn’t run into that issue, and the other thing sounds like a different kind of problem to me. If you remember anything else I would love to hear it though.

@piero yes exactly! I just don’t seem to be able to start step 8, or rather, something seems to be wrong there. Your links aren’t taking me anywhere?

I checked the new log file and did notice some things: there are a few errors that all say “input stream must not be null”, and it also says ADB folder path = /snap/easy-installer/38/easy-installer-linux-x64/bin/adb/. That path only exists up to the directory 38. So that is probably an issue? Correction, I did not look properly. The directory is there

Here’s the full log since it’s not that long:

These are all successes, but the log closes within a matter of seconds, with no record of any attempt to carry out the sideload step.

In your OP you showed e-Recovery but non working. Has any thing changed on that front ?

Are you seeing this on an e-Recovery screen?

Those java errors appear frequently in those positions, definitely not part of the problem.

You downloaded recovery-e-2.2-s-20240716417774-stable-herolte.img and I am inclined to think it has faults, as expressed Galaxy S8 does not reboot into e Recovery screen - #21 by Xxpsilon.

Please can you describe the state of the phone at the moment. What happens when you try to start it regularly and with other booting modes

Recovery

With the device powered off - hold Volume Up + Home + Power. When the blue text appears, release the buttons.

Download

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

If you were to abandon Easy Installer, you may be able to

Use executables already installed

A manual install Install /e/OS on a Samsung Galaxy S7 - “herolte” needs heimdall and adb … from your log

heimdall_folder_path=/snap/easy-installer/38/easy-installer-linux-x64/bin/
adb_folder_path=/snap/easy-installer/38/easy-installer-linux-x64/bin/adb/

So you might

cd /snap/easy-installer/38/easy-installer-linux-x64/bin/

and explore for the two executables … cd to their location then you can verify heimdall and adb are working with commands like

./heimdall version

./adb --version

I remember too having issues with easy installer on my S7. What i finally did after having my phone wiped from the stockOS (by mistake) and not recognized anymore by the installer, was putting the phone via recovery on adb sideload, and then using the adb command adb -d sideload filename.zip and the /e/OS-herolte-rom.zip downloaded on the site to push it and install it on the device. I let down easy installer but managed to do it in the end.

Hi,

I had the exactly same error trying to install e os on my S7 today, stuck at step 8.

I solved it the following way:

  1. Download the last e OS build from here (I used the official build):
    /e/OS stable herolte download
  2. Copy onto SD card and put the SD card in your phone.
  3. Boot into e-recovery
  4. Choose “Apply update”
  5. Choose “Choose from $SDCARD”
  6. Choose the e OS image from your SD Card
    signal-2024-09-29-205736_002
    signal-2024-09-29-205736_0021536×2048 210 KB
  7. Reboot after installation and follow instructions in the wizard.

Hope that helps for somebody having the same issues.

Best

@palomen599 (and all others who tried to help),

thank you so much, that sounds like a perfect solution! I tried again a little later and ran into more issues, and then my laptop died in the middle of writing another reply here. And then life happened, as it is wont to do.

However, we urgently needed that phone to be functional so my husband took over and went back to Google for the time being. Kid is super happy about finally having a phone of his own and being able to text his friends, so I’ll leave it at that, for now. Sigh.

(But I’m glad to know I can return to this thread if need be!)
