Once we release the 10 stable builds for the supported devices it should be available on the Easy Installer. This thread was created to figure out which builds and devices work.

Well for now you can manually upgrade after easy install v8.1 if really needed https://doc.e.foundation/devices/starlte/upgrade

Thank you but my S9 is running android 10 already and it is not advised to flash a downgrade

21

Thanks for your reply but when will the stable build be available for the S9?

22

The v0.15 should go out this week to dev users. After a week of the dev release the stable builds roll out.

GS290 still not working with easy installer correct
got a new one from the store with Android 10
as with my first one the easy installer didn’t work I tried right away a manual install
but got the message like rbauduin

$ ./fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification boot ~/Downloads/boot.img
Rewriting vbmeta struct at offset: 9797632
Sending 'boot' (32768 KB)                          OKAY [  1.547s]
Writing 'boot'                                     FAILED (remote: 'not allowed in locked state')

then tried easy installer, didn’t work either, but after that, I could do a manual install,
bad thing back in the bootloop with “Orange State…” again… :frowning:
If I go to recovery I get this:

Please can you explain why you cannot select “apply update” within the /e/ recovery which appears to be installed.

Re use of Easy Installer, please note the OP [these are not actually the words of Manoj]

Please let us then help you in a new post under Devices >> Gigaset.

Thank you for reporting this :smiley:

I tried to apply update (sideload) but that didn’t work, because of wrong file
flashed boot.img again
flashed the image I used last time, now this phone’s running too

27

Thanks :slight_smile: :smiley:

Now; are we talking about two different devices?

28

I changed the advice at the top of the page, Gigaset GS290, to a :warning: Warning, Gigaset GS290: testing by experts only at this time please. Thank you

yes the first one came with Android 9, so I had to update to 10 before putting e on it
the second had already Android 10 on it, no updates avaiable.

31

I am wondering, why, what didn’t work? :slight_smile:

32

Is this hint true?
“Potential users/readers, Easy Installer will only select a stable version of /e/. Generally that will be Oreo at present.”

That’s for the Samsungs, right? FP3 is definitely Q and I doubt the GS290 is on Oreo.

I have no Easy Installer phone. Thanks for the information. :smiley:

Gigaset GS290 - having seen reports that Easy Installer delivers Android version Q, and having linked on the OP a HOWTO, which deals with the problem that Windows might fail to load necessary drivers, I have removed the “experienced testers only warning”.

Credit, @SuzieQ in another post, when using Easy Installer in Windows, have Windows Device Manager open in another window. Should a “:warning: driver issue” arise you will be warned in good time.
