Hello @noclue123, Welcome to the /e/ users forum.
This thread is about (r8q), but,
Of course Install /e/OS on a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE - “r8s” is the apropriate build for your device.

Hi, I have Samsung Galaxy S20 FE SM-G780G/DS. Am I correct in understanding that your firmware supports this model?
e/os planning to add this version to official?
Yes, this is the Snapdragon S20FE variant. I suppose the eFoundation will support this offically since this is now official since a while for Lineage
Thanks for the answer! I followed instructions that you mentioned. I tried installing your /e/os ROM, but the security patch failed, so I ended up flashing LineageOS instead. Everything works great except for one thing.
For the second (non-admin) user, there’s no toggle to turn mobile data on or off — only Wi-Fi is available. To make mobile data work for the second user, I have to switch to the main user, enable it there, and then switch back. It’s quite inconvenient.
My question is: is this a new Android 16 feature (a restriction for secondary users), or a LineageOS bug?
Also, does /e/OS have the same behavior, or does mobile data work normally there for all users and I still can count on it?
In your case (recent LOS a-16 based installed) you need to reinstall latest Samsung firmware (a-13 based) as a base to be abble to install latest /e/OS (a-15 based)

@ronnz98 do you think r8q will get state “official” within the /e/ foundation soon?

I thinks its on their todo list
Hey.
I am struggling with installing e/OS/ on my (Snapdragon) S20 FE. I followed Install /e/OS on a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE - “r8s” - where do I find an fitting recovery-Image for the r8q version?
Kind regards
Hello @owl, Welcome to the /e/ users forum.
there is “recovery-e” into the .ZIP
also you can Download TWRP for r8q
Follow the install instructions for S20 FE Snapdragon
r8s is the Exynos variant.
However I got feedback that latest r8q version has issues, so better for now take latest LOS23 version
Hi, i tried this version and the 3.1.3 version, in both I have a problem, the rom freeze and the telephone restart…as base of stock rom on my r8q I have Android 12, is that the problem?

Hello @fgfr2, Welcome to the /e/ users forum.
latest android 13 based Samsung firmware is a requirement,
what is your device model number ?
what is your computer OS ?
SMG781B r8q / Win10
I had a swich off/on problems with the 2.3-t version…..I tought that maytbe the problem was caused by the stock rom base but I don’t thing….anyway previously during the flashing of e/os I wiped all data of the stockrom.
I can dowload the Android 13 or the 14 if it possible. A question, when I’m gone to flash the Twrp in Odin I have to put the vbmeta_disabled inside the Userdata slot?

Little Update. Preatty sure that the problem of the iptables of firewall AFWall+ its cause by Android 13…. What will be the solution to still using AFWall+ on Android 13 based?
