I bought a refurbished Samsun A52 5G SM-A52B/DS. It is connected to the internet, but I haven’t logged in with a google account yet, nor accepted the google-services.
Should I first start using the phone in the “google-way”, or can I install e/OS right from the beginning?
kind regards,
Irene
" and adb shell = supplies the devices codename" : do i need to intall first adb on my laptop to find out if I have the right model?
And if I’ve got the wrong one, I don’t think the refurbished phone suppliers can make this distinction.
even a bit outdated, it should works for this device
as vbmeta.img seems not needed contrary to what is said in official instructions : Install /e/OS on a Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G - “a52sxq”
and contrary to most others recent Samsung devices
Do you think it is nececarry to carry out ( at step 1):
“you may want or need to flash first an appropriate Stock Vendor Firmware to your device as a sane base” if I have a ‘çlean’ refurbished phone (bought at Rebuy.com)?
A528BXXSAGYA2 (2025-01-01 SPL) Samsung Firmware could be too recent for installing e-2.8-a14 (2025-01-01 SPL), you would prefer A528BXXUAGXK8 (2024-11-01 SPL)
