and first reboot with Bixby/Vol. down/power I get stuck in the samsung (?) recovery (see picture). However I do not get into e-Recovery mode. I know its a bit tricky oressing vol down/bixby/power and then vol up/bixby/power but I have the feeling of missing sthing.
I have latest Easy-Installer installed
I have Android 10 latest update from samsung
Is there any chance your current Samsung SPL is in advance of that ? That info should be in About phone > Android version ⌠or perhaps Software version / revision.
⌠or you may find clues in the log ⌠or paste it here.
Hi, I got the same issue as @FFP3 twice: 2 years ago with a S9 and today with a S8, so I abandoned the Easy Installer and reverted to manual install.
Despite a quick switch between Volume - and Volume +, as described on @aibd 's tutorial, I would still enter the Android recovery.
Both times I solved that by using Odin3 (dowloaded here) to install the TWRP. Still I had the same issue there, but the trick that worked was to disable Auto-reboot while the phone is connected to Odin (on the left in Odinâs window, in the âOptionsâ tab between âLogâ and âPitâ tabs). Only with that, I managed to avoid entering the Android recovery.
Then, the TWRP steps are rather easy, but there was a final hurdle: I was unable to copy the .zip ROM file into Internal Storage (and the TWRP folder wouldnât show up). Maybe I did a wrong wipe? But luckily I had a microSD card, I was able to copy the .zip file onto the card and insert it to support the install, so I solved that.
Again a huge thanks the /e/ team and community for a great improvement in user privacy!!
