Install /e/ on Samsung Note 10+?

/e/OS Devices Samsung

Before you get to Heimdall or Odin; before you get to decide if you have to downgrade SPL, you have to complete the preinstall instructions. Note also that the install instructions are a bit muddled about which bits belong to Linux/Heimdall and which to Windows/ zadiag.exe/Odin. @prkfsz I am adding a Lineage link here just to help with the Linux / Windows decision Install LineageOS on d2s | LineageOS Wiki – it looks clearer to me than /e/OS install page … also another edit at the foot of this post.

There is still one thing which includes a misunderstanding in this conversation so far. /e/OS 19-s SPL. We had a link to

This includes the misleading wording:

This /e/OS v1.9 includes the Android security patches available until January. More information in the link below.
Android security patch January available until February

However the Android link is: Bulletin de sécurité Android – Février 2022  |  Android Open Source Project
The header of the link reads
Published February 7, 2022 | Updated February 17, 2022
The installed build includes Android SPL 5 Feb 2023.

Pre-Install Instructions

Warning: The following instructions will unlock the bootloader and wipe all userdata on the device.

  1. Connect the device to a Wi-Fi network.
  2. Enable Developer Options by pressing the “Build Number” option in the “Settings” app within the “About” menu
  • From within the Developer options menu, enable OEM unlock.
  1. Power off the device, and boot it into download mode:
  • hold Volume Down + Volume Up and connect USB cable to PC
  • Now, click the button that the onscren instructions coorelate to “Continue” and/or “Unlock Bootloader”.
  1. Your device will reboot, you may now unplug the USB cable from your device.
  2. The device will demand you format userdata, please follow the onscreen instructions to do so.
  3. Run through Android Setup skipping everything you can, then connect the device to a Wi-Fi network.
  4. Re-enable Development settings by clicking the “Build Number” option 10 times, in the “Settings” app within the “About” menu, and verify that “OEM Unlock” is still enabled in the “Developer options” menu.

I am not really suggesting that you publish a full blow by blow here … but I suggest you revisit these instructions and take at least one screenshot to prove to yourself that every step is complete – or ask if anything is odd at this stage.
