Samsung S8+ not possible via easy installer

I’ve tried installing the official version on my S8+ with the easy installer but they do not seem to work. The old installer cannot download the build and the new web-installer says my Phone is not compatible (altough it says it is on the main page).
“Ihr Telefon SAMSUNG_Android ist nicht kompatibel”.

Is this a bug or intentional?

Edit: My OS is a ubuntu-like System and I have e-os installed already but i cannot updage anymore for some reason (it worked before but now Im stuck on 2.2-r) hence why I want to switch to a stable version.

simply use this file : e-2.7-s-20250109460371-official-dream2lte.zip
from /e/OS official dream2lte download

to follow this instructions

Thanks! I’ll give it a try later. But one part of the question still persists. Is the easy installer buggy or is this intentional moving forward?

it has ever been buggy…

Thanks so much, it went well without any problems! I didnt sideload it via adb but from internal storage. Didn’t know this was possible so thanks again. :slight_smile:

Yes ! bravo :
this is exactly how the built-in system updater do,
except, it download the file to /data/lineageos_updates, (hiden even if TWRP or a fille manager with root privilège can reach it)
when you have installed from /data/sdcard/download (visible internal storage)
it work also from /data/external_sd/folder-of-your-choice

Im not sure if I understand you correctly but I just downloaded it to /download and started it from recovery. Was this wrong? :thinking:
