Dear community.  
I installed e/os some month ago, unfortunately I did not realised that time it is not supported officially, just development builds.  
May be I would like to give iode a try, but prior to that I need to know how you would recommend to proceed.

First item  
Do I need to flash to stock first?  
Or can I adb flash the iode-recovery and with recovery installed adb flash the rom?

Second item  
Any web-based storage on iode server, I would pay for storage content on monthly basis, or is the back-up to be organised individually?

Regards and thank you for feedback

I guess you had updated to latest stock android 12 before installing eOS? In which case you should be OK to follow [iode install instructions](https://gitlab.com/iode/ota) from step 3.

No to the storage and you would have to take care of your own backups.

Happy flashing! 😀

Firmware is embedded in Samsung 10 series iodéOS builds, so in principle no need to flash stock.

Dear chrisrg and vince31fr  
Yes, I was enforced by OEM when I received the mobile.  
I tested the device several weeks prior to degoogle.  
Thank you for reply.
