Samsung s5e

Pardon @rik, but returning to Samsung Stock Android 11 is not necessary.

The slightly more complex installation process required for a first-time installation (converting .img to .tar) is explained very clearly in the LineageOS Wiki and only seems complicated to a novice.

Since @Bellini has already installed LineageOS Recovery, installing iodéOS 6.10 is very easy:

  1. Boot into LineageOS Recovery
  2. Select > Advanced > Enter Fastboot

alternatively (shorter route)

  1. 1 / 2.2 Boot directly into FastbootD mode

  1. fastboot flash vbmeta iode-6.10-20251208-gts4lv-vbmeta.img
  2. fastboot flash recovery iode-6.10-20251208-gts4lv-recovery.img
  3. Enter recovery / reboot into recovery - now the iodéOS recovery is there)
  4. Factory reset
    6.1 Format data/facrtory reset
    6.2 Format cache partition
    6.3 Back to Menu
  5. Apply update > Apply from ADB
  6. adb -d sideload iode-6.10-20251208-gts4lv-ota.zip
  7. Reboot system now
  8. Done!
