Still, I´m having issues with entering the TWRP. I tried to install eOS for about 15 times, with high concentration on pushing the correct buttons at the correct time. But nothing worked. Now I´m not sure, if I am really too clumsy or if there is maybe a technical issue. Or do I miss the big red button which says “push me and everything is fine”?
Could someone please check on the LogFile?
Log file: hastebin
Connecting phone to PC with cable: OK (I tried 2 different cables, both of high quality)
Starting Easy Installer and following instructions:
3-1) Prepare: OK
3-2) Connect Phone: OK
3-3) Developer Options: OK
3-4) USB Debugging activated: OK
3-5) Default USB configuration set to file transfer: OK
3-6) Deleting accounts: Not neccessary - no accounts installed (refurbished phone): OK
3-7) Driver check: WIN 10 downloaded the drivers already: OK
3-8) Easy installer tells me, that my device is compatible: OK
3-9) Automatic download of files: OK
3-10) WLAN is connected: OK
3-11) Auto system update is deactivated: OK
3-12) Auto software update is deactivated: OK
3-13) Auto software download via WLAN is deactivated: OK
3-14) Clicking on “download and install” and wait for response: OK
3-15) Device reboot: OK
3-16) OEM unlock: OK
3-17) Boot to download mode: OK
3-18) “Continue” with pressing VOLUME UP: OK
3-19) Waiting for Easy installer to install recovery program: OK
3-20) Then I try to reboot to e/OS recovery mode, but I´ll always enter the “standard” recovery mode from android.
What kind of (user) errors should I double check? Cables, locks, specific phone model, motherboard usb-drivers…?
thanks for your fast reply! I do have an interessting state of “KG STATE” in Download Mode:
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G965F
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official KG STATE: Checking
FRP LOCK: OFF
OEM LOCK: OFF
Secure Download: Enabled
The KG State sounds like is in a state it shouldn´t be in.
(Additionally, I have to correct statement of device status: It is refurbished, not new. I´ll change this in the first post as well.)
It just worked and I managed to install e/OS on my phone =) Thanks a lot!!!
For all the other desperate people looking for some help, I´ll share what I have done:
Inserted SIM card (for about a few hours).
Activated Location (GPS) Service.
Made a 5 minute call.
Reinstalled Easy-Installer.
Used another USB cable.
At the end, it worked out! I do not exactly knwo which of the points was the crucial point. Probably it had to do with KG/RMM.
But be encouraged, that this great community provides quite accurate support. =)
