Greetings
According to Smartphone Selector, Fairphone 5 is officially supported with Android 14, but the /e/OS updates I get (3.0.4) are built for Android 13.
Why this mismatch?
Thanks
Thanks for the very quick reply!
So, if I understand correctly, I have to do a fresh install to upgrade to Android 14 or 15, right?
Anyway to upgrade to “official” by paying a subscription? I’d love to support Murena financially,
even though I didn’t buy my phone through Murena.
If your top priority was highest Android version you would upgrade as you understood correctly. On the install page it is a simple to run script which includes Format data.
Murena do not offer a paid for install process there is a guy in Reading UK offers a service mentioned the forum I think.
Would such an upgrade erase my applications, data and settings? That’s not the same effort if I have to start from scratch again
Thanks again for your help!
Yes Format data is as Factory reset means everything belonging to you.
You might experiment with Settings > System > Backup.
Take care that not all apps are backed up. This will be detailed as you run the setup but be sure to take notes as a reminder. Messages app has its own backup within the app settings.
I did have A13 community and if I remember correctly, I did do an upgrade from A13 community to A14 official. But I didn’t do OTA. AFAIK it was sideload or something.
This is my post , back then when I did the upgrade.
