Hi /e/ community,
The steps given here did not work for my LG G3 (d855 v21a upgraded to Android 5.0)
So I did the following and successfully installed /e/ OS on my LG G3 d855 (this is not technical advice, only a description of what worked for me):
0. Take backup of all data
- Root phone with Kingoroot app (download Kingoroot .apk then install from phone)
- Flash TWRP using Autorec (download .apk “(D855) LG G3 AutoRec-Lollipop Lollipop APK” on the phone, then install AutoRec app from the phone and tap “flash TWRP”)
- reboot in recovery (volume down + power, then again when LG logo appears) then within TWRP follow steps 3,4,5 and 6 from the the /e/ guide linked above
- download the latest /e/ OS .zip from here and push to phone SD card (for example : adb push e-0.14-n-2021013099019-dev-d855.zip /sdcard/, or copy straight to SD card your from PC using card reader or micro USB cable)
- Within TWRP tap ‘Install’ and select the above zip file from SD location
- Within TWRP do NOT accept to install SuperSU as that causes the reboot to fail
Hope this helps
