Samsung a52q encountering difficulty installing e/OS with official tutorial

[piero]

difference i see between the two files is one is .TAR and the other one is .IMG.TAR

Also, on the photo, look like you forgot to flash the VBmeta file (post N°5)

[Catrine]

It would not flash so yes

I followed this and now I have a working twrp
no Vbmeta in the end

I flashed twrp with a disabling vbmeta file and twrp with Odin…

[Catrine]

I see… img.tar and .tar

I do not have a recovery with .img.tar nor a Vbmeta img.tar

Twrp will not do U reckon ?

@Catrine

Twrp will not do U reckon ?

what ?

[Catrine]

I mean now I have twrp can l go on with it for the e/ install or must l go back to find other .img.tar vbmeta and recovery/e instead…?

[piero]

exept on some rare models TWRP don’t manage encrypted partitions,
(why it have been abandonned)

so to go for /e/, it could be a safe way to use the TWRP install feature to install the recovery-e
from SDcard (/external_sd) or from internal storage (/sdcard)
→ copy / paste the recovery-e.img and the main install e-.zip files into the phone.

.

However you can still try to install /e/ using TWRP, /e/ installation will replace the custom recovery by it’s own…

[Catrine]

but l need to wipe first and other things like format data as in on of your tutos right ?

[piero]

@Catrine

l need to wipe first and other things like format data

yes,
do the wipe and format things using TWRP, before copying the recovery-e.img in it.
also,
in the TWRP install feature, don’t forget to switch from install a zip to install an image to be abble to see your recovery-e.img

[Catrine]

it worked
I put the recovery/e and the e/build in an SD card and had to reboot few times before l could get in…
Then first recovery
Then Os Build
Then finally
