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.

Update went well without the problems described above. Just the package update took more than two hours.

Very nice hint during the update that you can skip a version

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 @Frat Are you maybe on stable? stable release has a bit of a delay. You might get it today…

Have look here how to find out:

[HOWTO] Give complete /e/OS version info easily for support, answers, comparison etc

You are running /e/OS on your device and want to give info about your version to get support, or a simple answer to a question, or anybody else to confirm whether they can observe the same behaviour you observe? Sure … Your device will of course be important info. The /e/OS version you are running will of course be important info. But there’s more: For serious consideration or comparison by anybody else, it’s important to provide complete info about your /e/OS version: Settings -…

Hello Mihi,
thank you for your answer.
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.

I run with android 11
e/OS version : 1.5-r-20221030230467-dev-FP4

[MRTN]

FP4 should have an OTA upgrade from Android 11 to Android 12.

Try manually checking for updates 4/5 times, what happens?

[mihi]

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.

[Frat]

Thank you.
do you think it’s because i use nova launcher ?
Otherwise, i will reinstall e/OS into v1.8…
