e/OS/ install gets stuck in bootloader

[piero]

Hello @MichaelK,Welcome to the /e/ users forum.

@MichaelK

I’m trying to install e/OS/ on top of a new Fairphone 6.

Did someone face the same issue?

yes numerous …

@piero

according to Install /e/OS on a Fairphone The Fairphone (Gen. 6) - “FP6”

If you plan to relock the bootloader after the installlation

(not mandatoty, only available with Official version, why relocking ?)
Most important thing to take care about is the “android Security Patch Level” in the already installed Operating System on your device before you start the install process.

It must be OLDER than the “android Security Patch Level” included in the /e/OS build you want to install, otherwise you risk to change your device into Brick.

• You will find this information about stock OS on the device :

settings --> about phone --> android version 15 --> android security update

.

What could go wrong

[Solved] Windows does not see my phone in Fastboot mode because needed drivers are not correctly installed
