Hi,
I have bought a GS290 specifically to install /e/, but using the easy-installer (version 11.2 because v12.0 has some trouble running on linux), I get the message that the GS290 is not supported
From the terminal:
DEBUG e.e.i.tasks.DeviceDetectionTask - checkAdbDevicesResult(GS290CTM100088 device usb:2-1.2 product:GS290_EEA model:GS290 device:GS290 transport_id:1)
Note that the easy-installer requested to activate MTP, but this option was not available, and the phone was detecter when I activated usb file transfer and usb debugging.
Did anyone flash the GS290 successfully?
v0.11.2 of the installer in fact does not yet support the GS290.
You would need v0.12.0 for that and as you said, that’s broken on Linux ATM.
Yeah, but my recommendation is to flash /e/ OS version IMG-e-0.13-q-2020121590520-dev-GS290 using fastboot
method described in the /e/ documention.
As a Linux user, you should be familiar with the operation of PC terminal and thus quickly achieve success with /e/ OS ‘Q’ on your GS290.

Hi,
I have the GS290 as well and wanted to use /e/, but after using the easy installer I ended up with a boot loop “Orange State…”
I updated the phone to Android10, set developer mode, activated MTP and unlocked the boot loader just as the installer told me to, but a short time after the start of flashing an error occured and now the phone is permanently rebooting…
How can I get out of the bootloop (and /e/ running)?
Can you give us more details about that error?
Ideally you could provide the log as described in Howto troubleshoot issues with the easy-installer
To get your phone up and running you can then follow the advice of SuzieQ above.
Several us/e/rs have already fallen into this trap. So have I, but only because I wanted to know why it happens the way it does.
My summary is quite simple. The /e/asy installer loads a buggy eOS ROM. But this is all sufficiently communicated - only nothing is changed on the part of /e/. That’s simply […]
easy installer showed an error, actually I didn’t take a pic
the log file can’t be saved with https://haste.tchncs.de/
because it exceeds the maximum length…
How did you get out of the bootloop?
/e/ documentation Install /e/ on a Gigaset GS290 - “GS290”
Downloads for the GS290
Download Android 10 firmware
Unzip file gs290_10.zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Maybe it helps the next person to run into the same problem: I’ve extended the log uploading info by
If the log is too large even for haste and you already have an /e/ account, you can ZIP the log and upload it to your /e/ account cloud storage.
Hmm, I did fastboot flash boot boot.img, then everything else, but that didn’t work, so I went back to what is written in the doc https://doc.e.foundation/devices/GS290/install
and now it works
Thx
BTW, there’s a new version v0.12.1 out that has the GS290 support again.
But as SuzieQ pointed out that’s likely of not much help if the version it installs wouldn’t work properly.
Maybe the problem is that nobody created an issue in Gitlab? At least I don’t see any
https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues?label_name[]=Easy-installer
Yeah, I understand your request. ‘Many roads lead to Rome’ and my way goes past Gitlab.
I have followed the instructions at https://doc.e.foundation/devices/GS290/install , but I get an error at
$ ./fastboot flashing unlock
(bootloader) Start unlock flow
FAILED (remote: '
Unlock operation is not allowed
')
fastboot: error: Command failed
and this prevents further steps to be successful:
$ ./fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification boot ~/Downloads/boot.img

I have the latest version of platform-tools:
$ ./fastboot --version
fastboot version 31.0.0-7110759
How can I unlock the device?
Have you allowed the unlocking in the >settings >développeurs options ?
That should be added to the instructions, right?
Definitely
The experience would have been flawless if this detail had been provided!
1 . Enable OEM unlock in the Developer options under device Settings, if present.
This note has been missing from the /e/ documentation of the Gigaset GS290 since the initial release. It’s present in various other /e/ installation instructions.
So let’s hope this Gitlab merge request is accepted soon and the documentation gets updated
