Version of /e/ recovery after fresh clean install: recovery-e-1.20-t-20240223382228-dev-Spacewar.img


My fresh clean install followed this /e/OS documentation to the letter. For this I needed the file vendor_boot.img. This file is not yet officially available for download. Therefore I extracted the file payload.bin contained in the e-zip file. The file payload.bin contains the following files:

boot (101 MB), dtbo (25 MB), odm (696 kB), product (500 MB), system (1.7 GB), system_ext (368 MB), vbmeta (8.2 kB), vbmeta_system (4.1 kB), vendor (495 MB), vendor_boot (101 MB), vendor_dlkm (13 MB)


:new: Safe download of this vendor_boot.img here


To be on the safe side, I performed a clean installation via OFFICIAL e-Recovery v1.20 and everything went smoothly - without the incidents described here

Glyph Interface works right away including light functions, as well as Fingerprint (under display, optical), and wireless charging.

Thank you e-Dev Team :+1:



NP1 ‘Sparewar’ Documentation Suggestions

Flashing additional partitions & Temporarily Booting a custom recovery using

  1. Next we manually reboot into bootloader or download mode

  2. You can also boot into fastboot mode via a key combination:

  • With the device powered off
  • hold Volume Down + Power

Instead of switching off the smartphone each time and then booting it back into download-/fastboot- and recovery-mode - the VOL and POWER device buttons can simply be used during operation (without switching off the NP1) to execute the respective function (see attached image). This method is also foolproof.
