Hi Guys,
i am unsing actually a Gigaset GS290 and that works fine for me. My Interesst is on have a good Nextcloud Conectivity. I love my /e/OS on my Gigaset, i am missing nothing … nothing? Just, a little bit better camera for the Snap during the Events… 
Can you bring /e/OS on Gigaset GS5 that have a better Camera?
best regards
Stefan

I would also like to see more gigaset devices.
Yes, it looks like the GS5 is being use for the new Volla Phone 22. So it should be possible ( I was about to say ‘easy’ but I don’t know what is actually involved ).
Hand raised here as well.
Would be very nice to have “e” on this phone.
… replaceable battery!!!
Thank you
Thorsten
And a nice Camera as well …
+1 for supporting the Gigaset GS5!
…and more Gigaset phones in the near future!
People get in touch, we still need supporters! 
Device information:
Manufacturer support for Android 12 and security updates through October 2024:
stars for supporting Gigaset GS4
stars for supporting Gigaset GS5 - very interesting alternative: rephone 6 GB RAM
I’m looking for a download link complete Gigaset GS 5 firmware Stock Android 11 (or 12) incl. MediaTek Helio G85 Android scatter.txt. Help would also already a single file, namely boot.img
Also interested in gigaset smartphones. The gs5 lite looks cool too. Same processor as the gs5.
Hi Gianna,
Unfortunately I can’t extract an Android stock rom from a GS5 because I don’t own one (yet) and I don’t have the knowledge to do so. However, if the Gigaset GS5 is supported by /e/OS, then I could imagine someone taking the trouble to provide the original stock rom as a download, as they did with the GS290. I wrote to Gigaset and they definitely do not provide any firmware for download - unfortunately.
Kind regards
Stefan
Hi @anon48570964,
there is a guide for ‘dump’ the firmware, but the process is not as simple as it seems.
Regards.
they provide open source components.
can the necessary stuff be built from those?
https://cms.gigaset.com/opensource/GS5/0007_R_mp1_K6316Q3GS_20211112.tar.gz
can’t at least the boot image be built from that, and then the /e/OS Generic System Image be installed?
ah, rephone also offers the open source components, seems same/similar archive as provided by gigaset, but with added build instructions and make-script
A couple of maybe useful (re)sources:
GH “issue” (= request) just opened:
Hope that helps !
sigh closed, there seems to be some in-fighting going on.
not very helpful for common folks.
ok, just reading up on it: /e/ critics from Lineage fans

Seems to be a license violation…
That more Gigaset devices should be included to the list, I can only support!
But GS290 is not made any more hence OP title GS5 - no_device_codename
