I am in the US, I have 3 phones I want /e/ on, can’t seem to get it to work myself. I’ll pay shipping and pay someone to do the installs for me.
Also, I’ll be in Brussels, Paris & Rome in June if it’s better to connect in person
Thanks in advance

Hello @kevink-lhrglobal,
which devices and models are involved? Are these three devices in the → /e/ Smartphones list?
I’m most interested in a Samsung S9+ and an S9, they are on the list
Galaxy S9 - Please see page (bottom right):
Models Supported by /e/ (Exynos)
Other models are not supported
→ Not supported by /e/ OS Samsung Galaxy S9 (Qualcomm Snapdragon)
Galaxy S9+ - Please see page (bottom right):
Models Supported by /e/ (Exynos)
Other models are not supported
→ Not supported by /e/ OS **Samsung Galaxy S9+ (Qualcomm Snapdragon)
I could buy 2 new moto Z Play phones and send them your way. Would that work? It seems that all models of the motorola moto z play are compatible
An easy-installer program is announced for the string
You could also search for a local Linux community. I’m sure someone would take time to help you out (it’s not that difficult to get e on the phone if someone is familiar with Linux).
Linux isn’t the measure of all things. Open a command prompt on Windows or terminal on macOS and work with the SDK Platform Tools (ADB & fastboot) as well as Motorola USB drivers for Windows/Mac.
Actually I am a Linux guy, I run Fedora as my primary laptop OS, I am more than comfortable with Linux installs. I wonder if maybe I just have one of the unsupported samsung S9+ models. I think I will buy a Motorola Moto Z Play, since it seems that all models are supported and try again
Thanks
HI, I am a Linux-user too. I never had anything to do with adb and so on, but because of my little experience with the command line in Linux, I managed to flash a new ROM on three devices. You should give it a try, I think you will succeed!
Cheers!
Yes, Linux is the total best…
Hi Kevin,
were you able to install /e/ on your phones ?
Hi everyone, can anyone help me with the installation of eOS on the Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1? I will pay postage and installation. I’m from Czech Republic. Thank you.
Hi Eveyone,
just to share my experience . I’m a newbie for installing E on my S9 and I have a Mac running at home. Thought I coudln’t install it BUT with a bootable Linux system on a USB key and the Easy Install , it’s very simple … Took me 2 hours.
Hi Toffee… THANK YOU for posting this
I am a long-term Mac user since os7 BUT am finally going to dump them. I am buying a S9+ (SM-G965F) and wanted to use the Easy Installer, but I only have a MBP 2017, with USB-C ports, running macOS 11.1 Big Sur so had no way to flash eOS.
May I ask what you used for the bootable USB… Ubuntu or… ? Just trying to get as close to what you did as I can
Thanks for any input you can.
Warm regards

as macOS is a unix based OS,
I think the command line should work in a console as well as in a terminal.
cd /path/to/extracted/folder/
cd /Users/Doug/Desktop/platform-tools/
adb devices
Download Heimdall from e.foundation
Run the following commands to install heimdall for all users:
$ unzip /path/to/heimdall_macos.zip -d /tmp
$ cp /tmp/bin/heimdall /usr/local/bin
$ rm -rf /tmp/bin
Validate
In a terminal, you can run run the following command to check that everything is working properly:
$ heimdall info
Then read this how to and pick up what you need :

Hi @piero thanks for the reply…
As I am new to eOS, Android and phone flashing (last flash was on an iPhone 1 to jailbreak I would just like to check best practice. As I will have a NEW S9+ which says its on Android 8.0 (Oreo), is it best to:
THEN do the eOS install…
Thx, just want to avoid bricking etc Rather excited to finally be moving off Apple, and onto a private mobile
Thx
