e/OS FP6 install stuck on step 22 - any advice?

[Ben3]

Hello,

I’m doing a fresh install of e/OS on a Fairphone 6. I get stuck on step 22, see screenshot. I’m not a developer so I don’t have any clue what I’m doing wrong. Anyone any advice?

the web installer often don’t work, you’d better switch to
Install /e/OS on a Fairphone The Fairphone (Gen. 6) - “FP6”

He Piero,

Thanks! That explains why I’m having trouble.

Honestly, this page is daunting for me as a non-dev.. (command-line, risk of bricking)
I will try to find someone in my area with experience to help here. Also, this page is advice for PC or Linux, while I’m on a Mac.

Or could you from experience say it’s doable?

Thanks for your help,
Ben

@Ben3

this page is advice for PC or Linux, while I’m on a Mac.

macOS as Linux is UNIX based and behave the same in this case.

@Ben3

could you from experience say it’s doable?

it is about 3 copy / paste actions from the user side.

unlike Samsung, FP6 is one of the simpliest device to switch

i can accompany in private…

.

in 3 copy / paste actions !

.

because even well illustrated, the “web-installer” often don’t work,

and because the official documentation is imbuvable.

here we take the Fairphone 6 as example,
but it is the same logical and quite the same process for all the devices that have :

• only "IMG-e-xxxxxxxxxxx.zip" file on their download page,
• no "recovery-e-xxxxxxxxxx.img" file on their download page,
• no "recovery-IMG-e-xxxxxxxxxx.zip" file on their download page,
• that contains an install script named like flash_FP6_factory.sh.
