Install/update documentation could mention you can sideload a new version directly from the eOS recovery using the “Apply update”.

I just updated my Motorola Edge S from Android 11 (/e/ OS R to Android 12 (/e/ OS S) just using adb sideload, enabling it via /e/ Recovery image “Apply Update” option, which I found out on another document:

https://doc.e.foundation/support-topics/teracube-2e-update.html

Unrelated to Moto Edge S, but worked smoothly, didn’t even need to factory reset the phone, everything is still there and seems to work without problems

i see incoherence here between the title and the fastboot command :

Temporarily Booting a custom recovery using fastboot

  1. Connect your device to your PC via USB.
  2. On the computer, open a command prompt (on Windows) or terminal (on Linux or macOS) window, and type:
 adb reboot bootloader
  1. Once the device is in fastboot mode, verify your PC finds it by typing:
 fastboot devices
  1. Flash a recovery image onto your device
 fastboot flash boot recoveryfilename

I can be wrong, but I think it shoud be :

  1. temporary boot a recovery image onto your device
fastboot boot recoveryfilename.img

Otherwise title must be changed to :

Flash a custom recovery using fastboot
