[UNOFFICAL BUILDS] Samsung Galaxy S20 series (S20 5G / S20 Plus/ S20 Ultra) for /e/OS-U

Yes, try again. Recovery should include the Orange Fox logo

I tried again, with e-2.5-u-20241108-UNOFFICIAL-x1s.zip

heimdall flash --RECOVERY OrangeFox-R12.1_0-Unofficial-x1s.img --no-reboot

but recovery looks the same as before

maybe this says something that helps 


Not sure if heimdall works for S20. Please follow these steps and use Odin:

KG State : Prenormal

Perhaps see: Know your hardware - Samsung Prenormal

I guess you need the phone online and with the SIM card installed.

Or else perhaps some other condition explained in the link exists ?

unlock bootloader again,
now I could flash orange fox - looks good - et voilá e is booting 


thanks for all helpers !!

Great news! Have fun
 the step with connecting to internet is often forgotten and not properly documentent

but - unfortunately - I can connect to WLAN, can download *.apk,
but cannot trust unknown sources,(can swipe the switch, but it goes back) so can’t install *.apk and
cannot search for updates (e/os)
and it says now it would be a S20 5G :sleepy:

My unofficial build do not support OTA, you need to manually install next version when available.
For apps you can use App Lounge or Aurora or F-Droid etc
Try with Firefox for apk

ok (to OTA)
I can install f-droit from App Lounge, but i can’t swich to trust f-droit, so I can’t install apps from there. some apps i like to download from website, like telegram, signal 


I try to say it more clearly

I go to settings - apps - f-droid -
‘install unknown apps’

switch on ‘trust this source’

go back one step to app info,

back again to ‘install unknown apps’

and the swich is off :thinking:

this happens with all apps, one can install from
