Hello,
I have followed the following tuto https://doc.e.foundation/devices/lynx/install with success.
At the end, it does not say to lock the boot loader again with something like
fastboot flashing lock
Should I ?
Thanks for your help.
No, don’t do it.
I think you can trust the documentation to be complete.
On the page https://doc.e.foundation/devices/lynx we see the section “Bootloader relocking support” Data unavailable is not helpful … but it means No … a very small proportion of /e/OS ROMs can be locked after install.
Ok.
Thanks for your answer.
Downgraded from android 16 to 15 and installed e/OS following your instructions. Worked like a charm, thank you!

@ds451 exactly, what instructions did you follow to downgrade from 16 to 15? thanks
I followed the link @piero suggested in a previous post.
You select the stock image for your device (“lynx”, in this case) and if you are on a Chrome browser you can simply click Flash and the process is quite straightforward (you may need to install the Google USB driver).
@ds451 thanks but unfortunately for 6a (my case) there is no ota or image less than 16. Only 16 there is 
Oh, I see. Seems there’s been some issues with the 6a and Google pulled all previous version. However a XDA user made an archive with several factory images for the 6a, including A15, use at your own risk!

Hi,
now there is a new image from may 2025 instead of april, which should I take now?
for the downgrade… 
Thanks°!
Though this does not always prove true in technology (and even less in life in general), usually the more recent is better.
I recommend using the chrome browser install of Android 15 as I had picked the most recent one and it gave issues with the Wizard Setup for me, but the standard 15 from the chrome browser solved it
Also rolled back A16 to A15 and installed e/OS , everything works fine.

Hi, is the security update matter ?
I’ve got a pixel 7 with Android 16 and march 26 security update, do you think I can downgrade to android 15 april 25 version ?
Thanks
Pixel 7 are tolerant of downgrade when performed with a fastboot ROM as the link in Post #3 … be sure to read the introductory guide.
