I installed /e/ os on a Fairphone 4 using the easy installer. It was successful and the phone seemed to work perfectly fine. But I seem to have missed to lock the bootloader again during the process.
I veryfied the security patch level of the former OS and the new one. Same date, so it should be fine.
Then I locked my bootloader using adb and usb debugging. (stupid me… should have asked for advice first / researched better)
Then I got the message that the phone is corrupted. I unlocked it againg, which worked… but I can not boot the phone anymore, nor enter in recovery mode. But I can still enter into fastboot mode.
I guess that’s it, my phone is unusable and there is nothing that can be done? (even with the help from a professional) ?
I guess the inital mistake during the installation process was to boot without locking the bootloader? Or what might I have done wrong?
Thank you so much! Those are extremely good news!
As I never did this befoere… Might I try the easy installer again? Or do you think this will be too risky?
Ok, thank you! I tried but I already get stuck at the very beginning because the easy installer can not find the phone… But I have access through adb so I’ll go for the adventure of manually installing the OS
An other question… could I try and lock the boot loader again after the process? Could that work this time?
Is there a possibility that I could make things even worse if I do it?
Those are extremely good news!
I would be a great fan
