Updating a Samsung S8

A friend is trying to update their device, but is however getting “not found” error. When looking in to it the link the update points to is :
https://ota.ecloud.global/stable/dreamlte/e-2.2-r-20240715417776-stable-dreamlte.zip

They may have missed an update a while back and now they are stuck.

I have the exact same device (we bought them together, from /e/ with /e/ preinstalled). I am fully up to date. I just seems as if because they missed the mark that they are now stuck.

Is there a procedure to fix this and get their device up to date ?

Update : This page → /e/OS stable dreamlte download shows the correct file as being available, but the link returns a 404 error.

Can someone re-upload the file? Would that solve all of our woes?

Update 2: The file that the phone is trying to get is e-2.2-r-20240715417776-stable-dreamlte.zip and not another other file. If there is a way to upgrade the phone directly to the available file, then please let me know how to (or link to howto of course).

Ninja update - trying to be very very clear - The file that the phone is looking for is also linked on this web page (Android R(11)) yet it is not really there:

My very wild guess is that it was deleted from the server by accident (or the page was not updated). Regardless, if the file was there we could update this phone to latest 11 and then to 12.

Hey @Manu

I test the download it works :+1:

Have no error 404

Check the internet connection :slight_smile:

Does not work. 404.

Are you sure you are saying that this file is available to you?

https://ota.ecloud.global/stable/dreamlte/e-2.2-r-20240715417776-stable-dreamlte.zip

(I highly doubt it though, even the link preview says 404)

These are not the files I (or the phone) is looking for.

It’s trying to get this →
https://ota.ecloud.global/stable/dreamlte/e-2.2-r-20240715417776-stable-dreamlte.zip

the file you ask is currently not available since the biginning of october

you are lucky to can get a build for your device :

all N, O, P, Q, R are unavailables

please take latest S … e-2.6.3-s-20241217455357-official-dreamlte.zip

Hey @Manu

This link from your post is working :+1:

https://ota.ecloud.global/stable/dreamlte/

Only 2.6.3… at the moment

Nope, the link from my post does not work, the link is to the e-2.2-r-20240715417776-stable-dreamlte.zip file which is the file the updater wants to retrieve.

https://ota.ecloud.global/stable/dreamlte/e-2.2-r-20240715417776-stable-dreamlte.zip

If there is a way to tell the updater to get the other file and do update safely, why not. In which case, how does one do that?

@Hase Please do not feel obligated to reply to this thread if you do not have an answer, it’s perfectly fine. I am being sincere. I am patient and can wait until someone can answer.

Cheers,

The updater is fairly simple …

Here we have a case where the the updater was not asked (or asked multiple times) to look for and find a certain build with these characteristics:

e-2.2-r | 2024-07-15 | stable

… time goes by … and we have a server outage.

i only replied to your first post, but you’ve changed him again and again.

I just wrote when I tested the link that it works and no more.

and up to date is version 2.6…and this link works.

then please write it in your post what version you need that it will not be misunderstood.

i just wanted to help.

Sorry I wasn’t the help you needed.

latest e-1.17.1-q and first e-1.20-r was needed as a transition when upgrade from Q to R because of a new encryption policy.
as i know, it is not the case to upgrade from R, you can go directly from any version to latest…“official” S or T ou U if it comes.

please give feedback

I re-re-read my initial post, to me it seems quite clear that I was linking to a missing file and need a way to upgrade this phone. I am sorry if you misunderstood my post and/or if I was not clear enough (it seems to be the case as so many replies do not seem to address the issue).

all N, O, P, Q, R builds are unavailables from /e/ for all devices, including
e-2.2-r-20240715417776-stable-dreamlte.zip
i could build
e-2.3-r-20250123-LEGACY-dreamlte.zip,
but this is not usefull as
e-2.6.3-s-20241217455357-official-dreamlte.zip
already exist, and also
e-2.6-t-20241213-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte.zip
and
e-2.6.3-u-20241219-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte

I think nobody here did ask, what version your friend is on, right now?
This will make it much easier to suggest, what available version to install!

as they talk about an update, not an upgrade, and were asking for latest R, not first R, we conclude that they are already running R.
you are right this point is not clearely establish !

upgrading from Q need to use TWRP as you have recently demonstrate on your s7

.

available again :

Thanks to @make-nz
