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
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.
ah, rephone also offers the open source components, seems same/similar archive as provided by gigaset, but with added build instructions and make-script

Bump. I’ve extracted all the patitions of my rephone (which I believe is just a sustainable version of Gigaset GS5). I’m reluctant to post it here because it might contain sensitive data like IMEIs but any developer interested can message me and I’ll hand over a download.
Hi @astolfoaddict,
I assume that a /e/OS “Q” GSI will not run on an Android 12 device. But I would be very happy to be proven wrong. I’m very curious about your experiences with your rephone.
Happy Holdidays!
oh yeah, i did not realize that. you’re right - it doesn’t seem to work, upon boot it just launches me into fastboot mode. oh well, other aosp GSIs seem to work though so I guess that’s an alternative
I would be happy if e/OS/ would support the Gigaset GS5 Lite. I just ordered it. It is made in Germany and has a replaceable battery. I think it gets updates until 10/2024, but what good is that to me without privacy.
It still has a jack and a card slot. I got the Pixel 5 with /e/, a good device and everything working fine except: no cardslot and no jack. Adapter for in-ears doesn’t work, so my Shure ears are jobless now.
Husband is satisfied with Gigaset GS290 except one thing: echo cancellation during calls. So we would like to see /e/ on a GS5.
