Today i was install eOS on my new FP6 with the Installer.
I had set my phone to USB debugging Mode and i set USB to transfer Data.
I also unlocked the OEM bootloader with the code from Fairphone.
I go trough the steps to connect my phone and downloading the installer.
After a bit of wait it tells me that i now can install eOS.
But then i can´t do anything.
The phone do not automatically restart and nothing is installed.
I don´t know wat i am doing wrong.
I have Linux Mint and i do not feel myself comfortable to install it manually.
This is the part you have to do in the manual install, if your bootloader is really unlocked. Even before you start with flashing you will see it in the fastboot mode if it really unlocked or not.
Here is the link for better reference:

Since you have Linux Mint you are ready to go. Read the steps (like @piero wrote before, there aren’t many left to do) more than once before you do them. There is not much to mess up if you follow the steps correctly. If you do something wrong, you usually get a message that the process can’t proceed.
The first thing what i do not understand is how to add the text to my .bashrc file on my home directory. When i click on show hidden files i cannot see wich.bashrc file they mean.
You either have a bad internet connection or more likely the phase of 3.4 release where everyone is accessing it started. I would suggest you to download it at a late time or early or try in couple of days again.
Even now the speeds are very slow… better in couple days
Luckely this morning i was be able to download the zip very fast after 8 times.
I have inzipped de file in the same directory as the platform tools.
when i start in bootloader mode iǘe got tihs:
One time we saw the misc it was suggested was there any chance there was a google account, passwords, or PIN left on the phone?
Other times, I know it seems unlikely, but a USB cable managed to do most of the fastboot commands in the script but fails at one late task.
Perhaps look at the whole USB chain. It has been reported that certain USB will not carry all complex fastboot commands. You will need a good quality (full capacity) data cable, so not a thin, skinny cable. Avoid USB hubs including any USB hub that might be hidden in the PC / laptop; for predictably good results check (if necessary with a manual) that you are connecting to a USB-2 port soldered to the motherboard.
Many times a USB-C to USB-C cable may be provisioned through a modern hidden hub not supported by platform-tools.
I have take out the battery take another USB cable (thick one from SOUNIX) and startup again to bootloader.
But is looks that i only have the option to switch to recovery mode, then going to advanced and select fastboot mode.
After running the script again i got the same error…could not erase the misc partition.
It also looks that i cannot put of my phone….it keeps rebooting otherwise i can only boot into recovery mode.
Yes in the beginning i had login into a google account and the phone has a code on de login screen on android. But can i load android again and removing it?
Not exact representation, but close
