I have a refurbished Samsung S9+ from the /e/ store.
I just received the notification to update to do the OTA update to Q. And, since I’m willing to help with possible bugs and do testing, I immediately tried to do the update. And well, I did hit a bug x) !
I downloaded and installed the update, it launched TWRP, and it applied the update, only to reboot and find myself with a « Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed ».
Though, I need to note that I’ve never flashed phones. Though, I’m willing to learn (and I wanted to learn for quite some time, I just didn’t know where to find resources for that).
This seems quite a heavy duty failure of OTA Upgrade. I really think you should ask for help from helpdesk@e.email.
I say this on the basis that this is a “Samsung S9+ from the /e/ store” which was previously on Oreo stable and OTA Upgrade attempted to Upgrade to Android Q. All these things should be mentioned in your email if correct.
It seems that my phone somehow bricked itself ? Anyway, thanks to the /e/ desk help, and a night tirelessly exploring the Android ecosystem (and setting up a Windows 10 VM to flash stock Samsung ROM !), I was able to solve this !
