Failure to install using the easy install for a one plus 8pro

[akal75]

I have been frustrated by being unable to use the easy installer for windows on a one plus 8 pro. I dont even get past the 3rd step when the program just fails on win 10 , then if I try again I am told by the program that I already have the newest program , the only way around this is to delete the program and download it again , so far it has been very frustrating. will I have to use the adb and old method of installing E on this phone ? has anyone managed to install this with the easy method ? is so How?

I too am having the same problem. Easy installer just hangs when trying to install the necessary files. It’ll say “try again” I click on that and it does the same thing. I even tried on my other computer and it does the same.

@akal75, @JBerge, welcome both. There have been quite a lot of fails recorded under the hashtags of this thread Easy Installer and also easy-installer.

One of the most informative threads is Installer stops after downloading, no error or acknowledgement just a "Try again" button. This describes a workaround that works in some cases.

Common keywords reported are Try Again and checksum missmatch

Meanwhile on Gitlab, Issues Easy – Installer we see salient issues receiving attention over the past few days.

See https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/report-an-issue if you can add information to the issue applying to you.

Many have found that following the command line instructions is less frustrating right now.
