Hello,
I have a suggestion for /e/OS that would make installing /e/OS on devices not yet supported by the easy installer at least a little easier. I don’t have much programming knowledge and only know a few basics in python and bash, but even I find it easy to program a small text-based installer for /e/OS that summarizes all the commands - so it would be pretty simple and wouldn’t require much effort. You would need to install adb, fastboot, python3 and possibly heimdall before running the script.
Here’s a sample script for the Teracube 2e (I couldn’t try it out because I didn’t want to reflash my phone):
import requests
from zipfile import ZipFile
from os import system
try:
url = 'https://images.ecloud.global/dev/emerald/IMG-e-0.23-r-20220514185543-dev-emerald.zip'
print('Please wait...')
print('Downloading files...')
r = requests.get(url, allow_redirects=True)
url = 'https://images.ecloud.global/stable/emerald/IMG-e-0.23-r-20220511184999-
stable-emerald.zip'
r = requests.get(url, allow_redirects=True)
print('Unzip files...')
file_name = "https://images.ecloud.global/stable/emerald/IMG-e-0.23-r20220511184999-stable-emerald.zip"
with ZipFile(filename, 'r') as zip:
zip.printdir()
zip.extractall()
file_name = "IMG-e-0.23-r-20220514185543-dev-emerald.zip"
with ZipFile(filename, 'r') as zip:
zip.printdir()
zip.extractall()
print("Your phone is ready to flash. Please make sure that your phone is unlocked. To unlock your
phone read this guide: https://doc.e.foundation/build-status")
input("Press Enter to start the installation of /e/OS.")
#installation
system("adb reboot bootloader")
system("fastboot flashing unlock")
system("fastboot erase userdata")
system("fastboot erase metadata")
system("fastboot flash gz_a gz.img")
system("fastboot flash lk_a lk.img")
system("fastboot flash md1img_a md1img.img")
system("fastboot flash scp_a scp.img")
system("fastboot flash spmfw_a spmfw.img")
system("fastboot flash sspm_a sspm.img")
system("fastboot flash tee_a tee.img")
system("fastboot flash boot_a boot.img")
system("fastboot flash dtbo_a dtbo.img")
system("fastboot flash vbmeta_a vbmeta.img")
system("fastboot flash super super.img")
system("fastboot --set-active=a")
system("fastboot -w reboot")
print("Installation complete. Have fun with /e/OS!")
except:
print("An error occurred.")
I think that script would need some tweaking to work.
