Apparently it’s working out well … in the end.
There was a little scare when package installation abruptly switched* after just one minute to a slow-motion version of the start animation (the four blue Fairphone balls), then the e Recovery Version 1.8 () appeared:
Can’t load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. If you continue to get this message, you may need to perfrom a factory data reset and erase all user data stored on this device.
Try again
Factory data reset
Fortunately, “Try again” eventually took me to the nomal, upgraded /e/OS (now: 1.8.1-s-20230203257074-dev-FP3)
Surprisingly (and temporarily adding to my worries) the whole process (including the unexpected visit to the Recovery and “Try again”) took only 16 minutes.
Already had a phone call right after that, seems everything’s still/again working.
* Additional information: During the process, I switched between German and English in the settings 2-3 times, including right before the scare moment. Might have disturbed the process.
Hello, installed 1.8 on my Samsung S9, it is working fine. One minor issue: in the Notification Panel it is not possible to change the color of the active symbols, there is only blue!
Is there a solution to get other colors?
Cheers, Slim
Hello,
my FP4 is running e/OS V1.5-20221030230467. When I try to update the system, I am told “no update found”. But I am telling you that we are at version 1.8.
Does anyone have any idea how to help me update?
Thank you in advance
I run with android 11
e/OS version : 1.5-r-20221030230467-dev-FP4
Hello Mihi,

Yes i have a stable version but between the 1.5 and 1.8 version there are V1.6 and V1.7 and i had no updates for these versions.

In your build number it says dev, so according to that you have no stable. Why you can’t find any update, I can not tell. Try the usual behavior of touching the icon for couple times. Manoj says at least 4 time. If that does not work and you want to forde it you can try to sideload it. Since you are on A11 R you will need to get familiar with the process if you want to get to A12 S. dev build do not get OS OTA upgrades.
