Hi there, would like to try eOS on my device, but I think the documentation is out of time. I did flash Lineage a couple of times before, but already struggling with the pre-install requirements as the referred vbmeta.img is not in any of the downloadable .zip

Download the /e/OS build zip file from the section marked ‘Downloads for a52sxq’. Extract the contents of the /e/OS build zip file. You will find a vbmeta.img in the extracted files.

Also I am wondering if it really needs to be a special Odin version as mentioned in the doc. I am running Linux and found Odin v4 1.2.1 ad wondering if it would work plus how it works as this is a CLI Tool.

Anyone with experience around?

Yeah, its missing. It only talks about Odin. As mentioned in by someone in the forum https://community.e.foundation/t/samsung-galaxy-a52s-5g-a52sxq-documentation-suggestions/63349/9 you need heimdall 2.1 from gimler which is crashing while building AUR package with error code "an error occured - cancel process"

I just wanted to give it a try to see how it works for me, but I think I stick to the original and give it a try someday again
