Thanks for this tutorial!
I tried this on a Samsung Galaxy S5 neo (SM-G903F) and all steps seemed to run through without errors. But after the final reboot, I won’t see an “e” logo. Instead, there’s the original “Samsung Galaxy S5 neo - Powered by Android”. The phone will not boot, but stay there forever.
I used:
Odin3-v3.13.3
twrp-3.6.1_9-0-s5neolte.img.tar
e-1.1-q-20220630200240-dev-s5neolte.zip (had tried e-0.23-q-20220402175186-dev-s5neolte.zip before with identical result)
I haven’t test your trick yet but I’m quite sure this will fix the problem. Many thanks for that!
@Anonyme May I suggest you amend your original post to add what @centaurus just mentionned for S10/S10e/S10+ devices? BTW many thanks for your very precious post!
Thank you very much for the help, this tutorial made it possible to install e/os/ after the easy installer failed on my Galaxy S9+ . However if someone runs into the same issue as me, I was not able to intsall the stable version with multiple different versions of TWPR. However what worked for me was to install the dev version on with an old version of TWRP (instead of the current twrp-3.7.0_9-0-star2lte.img.tar version fro my device , I used this version twrp-3.3.1-1-star2lte.img)
Excellent tutorial ! Thx mate The easy installer was not working on my Samsung S9 SM-G960F. With this tutorial it went smooth as… (I don’t know what comes next, English is not my native tounge)
it says “in the “Options” tab (between “Log” and “Pit”) untick the “Auto-reboot” box.”, but I don’t even know where to look. in Android? in Download Mode? or in Odin? I cannot find an “options tab” in any of those places.
Other option is :
let the auto-reboot selected, click start,
Then hold ONLY the volume up bouton…
until the custom-recovery-manager logo (TWRP or recovery-e) appear on the phone.
thank you! but sadly, both don’t work, I never reach TWRP. with the method you described in your last post, also Android starts. with the method described in the original post (deselecting “auto-reboot” and sliding the finger from volume down to volume up while holding the two other buttons), my phone gets stuck in a screen just showing the logo “Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo”
I know how to reach this mode but this is no good right?
Unselect “auto-reboot” as it is recommanded, and click to start,
When “pass”, Unplug, extract the battery, reinsert the battery,
Then reboot by holdding volume up AND home AND power
reading all this I think I will give up, I love the eos but last time I had a phone which worked with the easy installer. I will try to get one again. I am not expert enough.
Would it be possible to add to the guide that some smartphone (like newer Samsung Galaxy S10) do not work well with TWRP and thus we instead use the /e/ os or Lieneage recovery (that are available on each smartphone page as with OS installation zip).
This is not a problem for the OS installation as we can use the built-in functions of those recoveries to wipe the partitions and install the OS as with TWRP (either installing the OS .zip as an update or by using the sideload function, as with TWRP).
Your guide has been very uselful to some friends and I, so adding this detail will probably help some more people !
