Installing e/OS on a Samsung J6+

Hello
Help needed to install e/OS from computer on phone because l cannot do debugging l am locked out of phone…

But l can get this

And this
Is it Odin ?

I also found these files to install but l dunno where to start…

Can anyone guide me please ?

there is no fastboot mode on samsung devices,
it is Odin mode, also called download mode, equivalent to bootloader mode

simply READ and follow one of these illustrated guides :

[HOWTO] Install /e/ on a Samsung smartphone with Windows easily

[HOWTO] install /e/ on a Samsung device from a GNU/Linux PC successfully

I cannot allow debugging will it be a problem ?

I dont have the email nor the phone number… so l cannot get further than this even after a factory reset…

The Download mode screen shows Factory Reset Protection is ON

As if the previous owner did not release tge phone.

I found it on the road one year ago with a broken screen…
I changed the screen and the battery see if it worked and it does…

There is no bixby button only

Up
Down
Power

And l seen this turquoise blue download arrow yes.
This is the way to make a reset to bypass the factory reset protection…

With no garantee, re-Installing samsung firmware using Odin3 (windows) “may” do the trick if playing with options (nand-erase ?)…

And with Linux (ubuntu) ?

There is → Heimdall, Heimdall-frontend, Odin4linux, Galaxy-Flasher…

Odin4linux will be the easiest to take in hands

Allright
I now have a window that says Odin but no idea what it does.
Im reading the introduction…

Am l with the right tool ?

Seems to be a design program or else and its just Odin no 4linux…

So l try sudo apt-get Odin4 linux and I get invalid operation…same with sudo apt-ger heimdall

You will find all details in the previously linked guide :

SM-J610F ou SM-J610FN ?

Download Galaxy J6 Prime SM-J610FN (XEF) J610FNXXS8CVI3 in Samfw - Samsung firmware download

There is no download link to the galaxy flasher program

downloading the samsung file

There are instructions to install it…

Then you need to define the tool to use (odin4linux) as galaxy-fasher can manage multiple tools

If you have access to a windows machine, it will be less complicated for you using Odin3 windows

Helas l do not have access to any Windows and l found a zip for the galaxy flasher

Downloaded

Trying to launch Galaxy flasher but l get no such file or directory
And l dont have this TheAirBlow file

installation As a Flatpak - Galaxy Flasher documentation

First Time Setup - Galaxy Flasher documentation

Ah j’ai suivi une autre guide ou a la fin j ai une commande hello Flatpak mais je n’ai pas eu droit au hello…
J’essaie ce soir…

https://galaxy-flasher-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/flatpak-install.html
I get no app…
Restart…
Where is the app ?
How do l run the app that is not even the galaxy manager but the flatpak thing…

I read and l read and l read and it gets to a point l learn nothing anymore it just addq confusion on confusion…

Why isnt ther a button download and a button open on an app logo ?

Installation

  • Download the latest “galaxy-flasher-version-os.zip” file from the Codeberg Releases page.
    for now :
    galaxy-flasher-v0.6.0alpha-linux.zip
    It is a good idea to make a new directory and save the file there, to keep it more contained.
  • Once the file is downloaded, extract it.
  • Move into the newly extracted directory. It should be named the same as the file, minus the “.zip” part.
  • Move into the “source” directory.
  • Move into the “data” directory.
  • Run this command in the terminal:
./build-flatpak.sh

You must be located in the same “source/data” directory in the terminal when you run it. If you don’t know how to change directories in the terminal, look at this guide.

  1. You’ve finished installing Galaxy Flasher, congratulations! Galaxy Flasher should now show up as an app. You can also run it from the terminal with:
flatpak run page.codeberg.ethicalhaquer.galaxyflasher

.

should work.

Ive learn that l have to be in the directory before launching a terminal or whatever request will be lost…

And l have done all the above …
In what l copypasted it shows its already there and l did it twice…

And l have been folliwing every tutorial after tutorials copying pasting commands that means nothing in order to get somewhere where nothin is done…

How can we expect anyone to migrate away from the google spies if every step of the way is crazy complicated ?

There should be a start button on an icon to start a program once its downloaded and go…
Its like its either windows and google or you have to be a soecialist before one can become one…

Its exhausting…

galaxy flasher is fantastic, even work in progress… it is tweaky to install even well documented, as a linux tool, independant from the majors…

To install samsungOS, you are expected to use Odin3 windows or Odin4linux → the officials tools from Samsung
or Heimdall the historical open source tool…
