Samsung S9 upgrade path

Dear community,

my device (SM-G960F) is currently running version 0.22 of /e/OS. Should I take any precautionary measures before upgrading to version 1.7, i.e., should I upgrade to another earlier version first? Is it recommended to install from scratch?

Regards,
Massimo

If your device already have latest Samsung Software available (android 10) installed as a base, and a custom-recovery installed, you can boot to recovery mode, and freely install :

e-1.7-q-stable https://images.ecloud.global/stable/starlte,
or
e-1.7-q-dev https://images.ecloud.global/dev/starlte.

OR
simply accept the e-1.7-q-dev update proposed by the system updater

There is no upgrade yet,

I will try this approach this weekend. Thank you.
