How to update a Samsung S8?

  • I have 2 s8 phones both bought preinstalled with /e/
  • One of them is up to date
  • The other has not been updated for a while. It requires update e-2.2-r-20240715417776-stable-dreamlte
  • The file it tries to get from ota.ecloud.global is not available → 404 error

How can I update this phone to the same version as the other phone?

(The simplest solution would seem to be to have an admin upload the file e-2.2-r-20240715417776-stable-dreamlte.zip back to /e/OS stable dreamlte download - but if there’s another way, I am open of course, though I might need step by step instructions).

Cheers, I hope this message is clearer than my previous post.

use current install file for the s8 (e-2.7-s) : /e/OS official dreamlte download

I will give this a try ASAP (and get back to the thread to express joy and mark solution).

The person showed me a screenshot of their boot screen, there’s no option to “boot to recovery”

Two options here :

  • Enable advanced menu (in android 11 : settings → system → gesture)
  • or simply use the buttons ( With the device powered off - hold Volume Up + Bixby + Power. When the blue text appears, release the buttons.)

It worked, the update and everything (I did this over the phone with my friend). Thanks for your quick and concise replies.
