Yep! It does. You can find some more general info here in the /e/
developer blog post titled “Introducing /e/ OS Generic System Images
(GSI)”.
But, to skip to the end, what I did to install it was:
-
Enable developer options in Settings.
-
Choose “Allow OEM unlocking” and enable “USB debugging” in the same
place. -
Install Android Debug Bridge and plug phone into computer.
-
Run: adb reboot bootloader
-
Run: fastboot flashing unlock (and accept prompt on phone)
-
Run: fastboot reboot fastboot
-
Download the official firmware from Unihertz and grab “vbmeta.img”
out of the zip file:

Run: fastboot flash --disable-verity --disable-verification vbmeta
vbmeta.img -
Follow (roughly) the directions here from
https://doc.e.foundation/how-tos/install-GSI (you need Arm64 A/B),
abridged as follows:
a. Download the ARM64 A/B image from the install guide linked above.
b. Open the zip file
c. Run: fastboot flash system system.img
d. Run: fastboot -w (this will delete everything on your phone, so
back up first) -
Reboot the phone
If you need to install updates – /e/ isn’t providing OTA updates yet –
just repeat steps 9 and 10 with the newer version of the OS. Steps 1-8
are one-time things related to installing a non-stock OS. If you want to
go back to the stock firmware (I didn’t), there is a guide on Unihertz’s
website.
Enjoy!
