Hi I get stuck installing eOS on Samsung Galaxy S9 with Easy installer. Aufter downloading screen
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
However tried “update from adb” but it failed.
I can not get into e-recovery? 
Perhaps tell us if you might be struck at this point:
I wrote an article here which includes a little video, if you think the above might apply to you.
THX just reading through and tried. Will try again but however it failed.
Assuming Easy Installer would be trying to install e-1.9-q-20230310268292-stable-starlte.zip
… we see from https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/releases/-/releases that e-1.9-q-xxxx is expected to have an Android SPL of 5 Feb 2013
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 just installed using Odin and TWRP, so I just can not check anymore.
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 Odin’s window, in the ‘Options’ tab between ‘Log’ and ‘Pit’ 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 wouldn’t 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!!
My comments here are only to help other users adopt /e/OS, not to criticize the wonderful project
