Fairphone5, Android Security Patch Level

/e/OS Devices Fairphone
1

Hello,
I bought a Fairphone5 and want to install /e/
BUT:
Following the instruction here (doc.e.foundation/devices/FP5/install#downloads-for-fp5)
I checked the Android security update. On my phone is one from january 5, 2025
The date of the official e-Download is from 24-11-2024.
Do I unterstand correctely that it is not possible to install /e/ because of the anti rollback feature?

Does anybody know, when a newer e will be relased?

This /e/OS v2.7-t version from 20250111 includes the Android security patches available as of December 2024.

so next 2.8 should be based on January 2025, and must be released soon.

another question: Does the easy installer work with fp5? I find the information on the e-page that it is (Leaving Apple & Google:Topics: What is deGoogling ?; Easy Installer is now available for Fairphone 5! - e Foundation - deGoogled unGoogled smartphone operating systems and online services - your data is your data), but the device is not in the list…

Interested to know if you had success using the web installer with the FP5? I tried yesterday and get an error after the phone reboots into the bootloader.
