Thank you Elk.
I will try it!
Merci!

So I donāt know what to do.
It was clearer in earlier edits of your post, I think ā¦
So, your device is star2lte - Samsung Galaxy S9+, not a Fairphone 3 with which this topic started out.
Since the mkdir -p /mnt/userdata
command doesnāt complain, /mnt/userdata should exist (which your later edits confirm). This would mean /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/userdata doesnāt exist. The structure may be different on an S9+.
It says in https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/backlog/-/issues/6769 ā¦
āWe now have a recovery plan for that situation. Do not hesitate to reach out to us in case you face this problem again.ā
So perhaps you could reach out by contacting helpdesk@e.email.
(They didnāt say whether the recovery plan was specific to the Fairphone 3 or more universal.)
Else ā¦ @tcecyk: You had some ideas in How to mount encrypted /data partition in recovery mode? ā¦ Where to start here ?
samsung s9 will be a different mountpoint, see https://github.com/TeamWin/android_device_samsung_starlte/blob/android-9.0/recovery.fstab#L16 - try:
mount /dev/block/platform/11120000.ufs/by-name/USERDATA /mnt/userdata
or at least have a look around with āls -lā on the āby-nameā directory and look for userdata (if itās not uppercase) or use find as in:
find /dev/block -iname userdata
Very good question - I checked: It was on 1.18-s-20231207. So yes, old version. I just forgot to update. I think there was no notification or I have overlooked it.
Thank you for your help!

One question again: is it possible to make a backup of full system as it was possible to do previously in TWRP?
If yes, how?
Murena are apparently working on some complete backup capability, which is sorely missing when not using TWRP (although TWRP backups arenāt complete by default and TWRP might not be able to decrypt encrypted user data depending on the device), but this should still be months away.
To cover the state of the OS without user data, you can keep OS install files and the tools to install for the OS version you want to backup.
OS install files are here for your device, depending on whether you are running dev or stable ā¦
https://images.ecloud.global/dev/star2lte/
https://images.ecloud.global/stable/star2lte/
You can backup contacts, SMS and call logs via specialised Apps on the phone or via phone syncing tools like MyPhoneExplorer (this oneās Windows only, though).
You can copy āInternal Storageā via USB or possibly via phone syncing tools.
So far, so easy.
āInternal Storageā (the one made visible via USB) is only a part of the data partition holding user data.
So, whatās left out so far is the rest of the data partition, which has the user-installed Apps and their data as well as user settings. By default the user has no access here and is limited to whatever backup or export function all the user-installed Apps provide one by one.
And you can take notes of your settings.
And you can backup APK files of the installed Apps (for reinstalling the Apps more quickly than via a store) with tools like SAI (itās important that the tools support so-called āsplit APKsā).
However, /e/OS allows you to enable āRooted debuggingā in the Developer options (once you made them available), and with this you can use adb root
to give root to ADB. This gives you access to the rest of the data partition via ADB, so you could try to copy those parts from the phone via ADB, or there are also tools which can use this, example ā¦ Android Backup and Restore Tools (ABRT).
Thanks for the clarification. I think it would be convenient to have a single backup system rather than several disparate programs.
Does this mean that e.OS can be rooted without having to install Magisk?
Now I use magisk for it.
Download last Magisk version, than rename magiskXX.apk into magiskXX.zip (whithout a real zipping procedure) and sideload it via adb ignoring fault message.
Than reinstall as an usual app.
I need to change icon link inside an old radio app but I donāt know how to change it inside.
What kind of developpers windows program can I best to use for to change it (update).
The latest version of the radio app works fine, but they removed the recording feature. So I would like to use the old version. It works fine, but the links in it are old and I canāt see the radio station icons.
My idea is to open both apps and make changes to the old version just in the link to icons part.
So I need to unzip the apk file of the new version of the application and feed the link from it into the old one and then repackage it into the apk file.
Could you help me with advice on how to do this?
Thank u!
No ā¦
This is not rooting the device, this is only for ADB.
Sorry, I have no idea.
Do you know how much RAM and disk space *(on average on Galaxy Note S10+ and Galaxy S9+) does e.OS take up?
You might try the app DevCheck.
I had the same issue and followed @mossroyās advice, and that solved it for me! Thanks a lot for figuring this one out!
Just to summarize it here again:
- on the recovery mode screen, use the top left arrow to go back and into advanced mode
- enable adb debugging and use adb to get a shell into the system
- mount /userdata which will be encrypted
- look for the biggest file. I used
find . -size +1G
and it found four files with 1.1G each, so I deleted the two oldest ones. Looking them up later unencrypted they were exactly my signal backups. - reboot normally now
Glad it could be useful.
@goens Can you tell us the device model, and version of /e/ you have?
As explained above, the issue is supposed to be fixed for a while
@mossroy right, good point. I was also a bit confused by that (seeing that it was supposed to have been fixed about a year ago).
Itās an FP3 running 1.17-s-20231111351092-dev-FP3, which should be the latest (if I go on the update menu it says thereās no new versions)
oh never mind about the latest, I just saw thereās 2.1-t, but I guess that wonāt just update, I have to do the sideload thing
