Sur la page Install /e/OS on a Fairphone FP4 - “FP4”
Au paragraphe

  • Installing /e/OS
    • nous avons la commande
chmod +x flash_FP4_factory.sh && ./flash_FP4_factory.sh

Pourquoi faire compliqué quand on peut faire plus simple

  • sudo : inutile car vous êtes le propriétaire du fichier
  • chmod +x flash_FP4_factory.sh : inutile car le fichier est déjà exécutable
  • && : inutile car il ne reste plus qu’une commande sur la ligne
    Donc la commande simplifiée est
./flash_FP4_factory.sh

In the paragraph

  • Installing /e/OS
    • we have the command
chmod +x flash_FP4_factory.sh && ./flash_FP4_factory.sh

Why make things complicated when they can be simpler?

  • sudo: unnecessary because you are the owner of the file
  • chmod +x flash_FP4_factory.sh: unnecessary because the file is already executable
  • &&: unnecessary because there is only one command left on the line
    So the simplified command is
./flash_FP4_factory.sh

Hi! I’m one of the user with the already known network issues using 2 sims on FP4…

From Fairphone Support, they suggested to get the A15 OS, which I see it’s already available on community build. But I have a couple of questions:

  • does anyone know if it would get the problem solved, effectively?
  • should I follow these steps to upgrade or would it delete my data?
  • when the official build will be released, could I install it via the same procedure?

Thank you very much for your help!

Clean install is expected to wipe /data

To keep your /data, You can try this unofficial method :

Thank you, Piero. I’m truly sorry I didn’t figure it out myself—I actually came across that post, but I didn’t realize at first glance that it applied to my situation. My apologies for the trivial request.
