Fairphone 5 does not start after step 24 /24 of the easy installer

01-05-2025 vs 05-05-2025

is still a new subject, it used not to happen; all SPLs were defined by month and until recently generally only the 5th of the month was mentioned.

It has been asserted here Vendor Security Patch Level (SPL) in Fairphone 5 - #21 by sophimae that a relocking succeeded. However no evidence is presented of how the index is actually recorded on the device … is it a date in regular date format or is it some code to denote month only?

The documentation currently does not mention any “code” for this … it just says don’t roll back the index.

More input from others or perhaps the dev team @Manoj on the subject 01- month vs 05-month would be appreciated.
