Super exciting! Is the installer open-source? Or is there a way how to see what commands it’s running against my device?

Yes we will share the source code on gitlab.

In the previous versions (local installer), there were 2 needed config files to support a device

since there was no limitation on the phone model, I’ve started to try out the /e/OS installer.

The following is what I’ve noticed.

  • Instructions partly not available in German language. E.g. the part “activate-oem-unlock”. That can be a bit tricky for people not used to deal with English.
    Also Help Files seem to be available in English only.

  • On Fairphone 5 it wants a verify code, but there is no info on what this actually is and how to get this code, also no info in the web installer help files. I’ve found out that this is about bootloader unlocking and I’ve found the procedure for fairphone 5, but it would be nice to let the user know about this. Bootloader Unlocking Code for Fairphone - Fairphone

  • at the end of the procedure I’m told that my Fairphone 5 is not compatible :grin: It would be nice to know in advance which are compatible or which not, so I don’t have to try the /e/OS installer in the first place. I’ve had the impression that now all supported /e/OS devices are supported with the /e/OS installer, which turns out to be false. It would be good to mention this clearly (introduction + /e/OS installer itself) that the supported device list has not changed from easy installer to /e/OS installer. I guess supported devices are still the same as with easy installer
    Of course now I assume I know why there was no info on the verify code (Point 2 above).

is there a technical reason why Fairphone 5 is not supported with the installer?

Some users here with script skill are welcome to create
the config files per device for the community
(as generously as @ronnz98 is building Unofficial).

Thanks in advance.
