The solution was just to use the recovery included in the zip, the install worked perfectly. Everything works, even better than the official one, the camera worked for me on the first try. Any plans to become official ?
This is up to the eFoundation/Murena…
I have 2 problems with the rom:
The first is that the App Lounge fails everytime, for every application even foss ones from f-droid just download up to 100% then tells “Retry”, maybe a problem of the underlying installer. I tried to clear the cache and app data and connect with my own account but it didn’t change anything.
My bank app also wasn’t working, i needed to edit /system/build.prop and change ro.build.tags=release-keys and ro.debuggable=0. The official versions didn’t need this change iirc

Credit: Thank you very much @ronnz98 for building this new /e/OS-T 1.18 ROM.
Hello,
New owner of a Xiaomi Mi 9T, I had some problems with the recovery mode in Chinese, see here: Xiaomi Mi 9T Recovery mode in Chinese Help! - #51 by Fougor
I managed to install the Global ROM and the recovery is now in English. My android version is 13. I then installed LineageOS to test it, but I’d like to go back to /e/OS.
Is this possible? Because @aibd told me that going back to an earlier version would be dangerous.
Thanks for your answers and suggestions.
earlier version? The official LineageOS for ‘davinci’ is version lineage-20.0-20231231, also based on Android 13 like @ronnt98’s e-1.18-t-20231210-UNOFFICIAL-davinci.
An OS change should be possible without further ado. Personally, however, I would first replace the LOS recovery with the e-rRcovery.
All right. Thanks for the feedback.
But I don’t know what the e-rRcovery is and what it’s for?
Please explain.
I understand some things, but this goes beyond that. 
Okay, I get it. So it’s the /e/ recovery that installs and will be more able to install /e/OS.
I tried to download the e recovery, but alas, I found nothing.
Is there a download page? If so, where is it?
Thanks for your help.
it is not necessary, as recovery-e is the same as lineageos-recovery, only rebranded…
it should/must do the job (it is expected because its mission is to install such recovery compatible .ZIP)
you need to extract it from the downloaded /e/ .ZIP (it is included in it)
Thanks, I found it. I’ll install it tomorrow.
The vague wording «it should do the job» sounds to me like - I don’t really know, but theoretically it should work because e-recovery is like lineage-recovery, only rebranded. Well, it’s always worth a try.
excuse me, i am French and for us it is the same verb… “devoir” (have to, also moral exigence)
only temporal conjugaison variation “il devrait” (that is expected), “il doit” (it is forced to)
i have corrected
All good @piero, when translating our native language into English, misunderstandings can quickly arise.

I hope I’m in the right place.
I would like to thank the person or team who built this unofficial /e/OS for the MI 9T.
I no longer have any problems with my bank’s app.
Bravo and many thanks for what you do.

Hello, I have a question.
In the post above where you detail the installation of version 1.18-t-20231210, you write: “then move *.zip file to a USB-C stick using e-Dateimananger.”
What is e-Dateimananger?
Is it an app?
Thanks for the answer.
Dateimanager is the German word for Filemanager
