[Solved] Easy Installer with Samsung Galaxy S9+ doesn't work

[akg]

Dear all,
I’m trying to install /e/OS on another Samsung Galaxy S9+ (since the other one on which I managed to install it back in January - with your kind support! - was stolen, unfortunately). I followed the instructions (Know your hardware - Samsung and Easy Installer Samsung users fail to boot into TWRP (#2678) · Issues · e / Backlog · GitLab), but the phone keeps going back into Android reboot mode instead of booting into TWRP every time I try. Does anyone have any ideas how to get the phone to boot into TWRP?
Many thanks for your help!
A.

What is the OS running on your computer ?

[aibd]

Your log appears to finish at trying to run wait-download.sh but I suspect your log is truncated (??).
The log does not include the next required step to upload Recovery; the device shows an Android recovery; at this point in time (if the end of log were accurate) the device should be in Download mode.

@akg

but the phone keeps going back into Android reboot mode

Any clues what is prompting this to happen relative to Easy Installer?
Logs are easier to read if started with three backticks

It’s Linux Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS. I’m using Easy Installer v0.21.2.

No clue what is prompting the reboot into Android reboot mode relative to Easy Installer.

Many thanks!

@akg

Android reboot mode

What do you mean by this expression ?

@akg

It’s Linux Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS.

So easier than an often buggy easy-installer, is (in my opinion) to install Heimdall, flash the custom vbmeta and recovery, reboot into recovery mode, then install /e/OS…

[HOWTO] an Unified Install Guide Project for /e/

posts are editable as a Wiki. Here is the summary : (1) install the appropriate Flashing Tools (2) allow “Non Vendor OS” to be installed on the device (3) Check the communication between the PC and your smartphone (4) Download a custom recovery manager (5) Download an /e/OS build (6) Unlock the Bootloader (7) Flash a custom recovery manager on your device (8) install /e/ from your computer, using the “adb sideload” method or (9) Install /e/ without computer using the “Device-Storage…

[akg]

Many thanks - with this expression I mean that the phone shows the black android reboot screen (see screenshot further up, in my first posting).

The Unified Install Guide Project for /e/ is too advanced for me, I’m afraid.

Back in January, I managed to complete the installation on a Samsung Galaxy S9+ (with some support from this community) using Easy Installer - so I think it should be possible again, if someone can help me identify why it doesn’t work (on the basis of the logfile) and what I should do differently.

[akg]

P.S.: Easy Installer shows my phone as “SM_G965F” and says it is compatible with /e/OS.

[akg]

PPS.: Here’s a screenshot with the Samsung Software update info after clicking on “Download and install” as per the Easy Installer instructions:

Edit, 24 hours later

@aibd

I suspect your log is truncated (??).

@akg

I’m posting the end of the logfile here, with a small overlap to the first part of the logfile posted above

I have later noticed that judging by the dates (first 2024-12-02 14:23; “addition” 2024-12-01 16:33) the logs are of different Easy Installer runs. We cannot really draw the earlier posted conclusions …

If you read this thread [Solved] Galaxy S8 does not reboot into e Recovery screen and one or two others linked to it (I was uncertain at the time) but it looked at the time that the recovery was failing to install. This post [Solved] Galaxy S8 does not reboot into e Recovery screen - #21 by Xxpsilon seemed to fit what was being seen.

I think debugging Easy Installer will be more work than learning the official install method Install /e/OS on a Samsung Galaxy S9+ - “star2lte”.

You could always try another run and put the log https://paste.tchncs.de/

[akg]

I tried these steps, to no avail: Galaxy S9+ Installation with easy-Installer on WIN - no booting in TWRP - #5 by Lonad_West

I’ll put the new log where you suggested. Many thanks!

[akg]

Here is the new log: tchncs

[akg]

The official install method is way too advanced for me. I need to make Easy Installer work, as I did back in January 2024 - otherwise I won’t be able to install /e/OS on my phone, unfortunately, as I’m an absolute beginner here.

I’m an absolute beginner here.

So from the second log … I need to ask, were you instructed / invited to boot into Download mode ?

If I understand correctly the script, the PC should show some screen which will show the button presses for Download mode … the user does this then the script moves on from the end point you show.

---

The log shows that Easy Installer identifies the phone correctly, downloads the ROM and recovery, verifies checksums, all ok. The end of the log appears to be waiting for Download … but the next action to Upload RECOVERY is not recorded.

---

In your forum first Easy Installer experience in January I see that I asked if your PC had a screen such that you were failing to see a Continue button at the foot of the page. Could that be the case this time?

[aibd]

@akg

I tried these steps, to no avail

Those steps were to work around Prenormal.

Does your Odin mode (Download mode) screen show the word “Prenormal” in any form? Does any lock show as ON?

[akg]

The screen of the Easy Installer at the end of the button presses looks as follows:

Indeed, there is no “continue” button at the foot of that screen.

Also, before the button presses, the phone shows the developer options with “OEM-Entsperrung” activated. I don’t see the Download mode screen (it should be blue, correct?) at all. Is it correct to do the button presses with the phone screen showing the developer options? If not: How can I make the Download screen appear?
Since I don’t see the Download mode screen, I don’t see any locks either.

One more question: The phone is refurbished, not new. Could it nevertheless be a solution to use it for 7 days with Android and to try installing /e/OS afterwards?

Many thanks!

[akg]

Many thanks - the step by step guide is still too advanced for me. Last time the installation worked with Easy Installer, so I’m hoping to find a way to make it work this time as well.

[aibd]

@akg

How can I make the Download screen appear?

You need to be sure that you know how to reach Recovery and Download mode reliably, Know your hardware - Samsung.

The button press for both, start from Phone Off and are shown Info about Samsung Galaxy S9+ - star2lte.

@akg

Could it nevertheless be a solution to use it for 7 days with Android

Probably yes, but as I said

@aibd

Does your Odin mode (Download mode) screen show the word “Prenormal” in any form? Does any lock show as ON?

[akg]

Many thanks!

Are the following steps the correct way to proceed?

• After activating “OEM-Entsperrung” as per Easy Installer, I turn the phone off.
• I then boot into Download mode from the switched-off phone, which remains connected to my computer (with Easy Installer).
• Once in Download mode, I boot into Recovery mode as per these instructions: Know your hardware - Samsung
• I then continue as per Easy Installer instructions.
