Thanks E Team

Thank you so much @AnotherElk to explain how it’s works. I understand.

On the current active slot (Slot B) it’s the old OS so 2.9.

I didn’t reboot my phone yet since this night , cause I’m scare to have a new boot error.

Is it possible to keep slot B with datas, and install New OS on slot A ? maybe with a sideload ?

Hi,

You have 2 solutions :
1> in fastboot mode

# Pour connaitre le slot actif
sudo fastboot getvar current-slot

# Pour activer le slot A
sudo fastboot set_active a

# Pour activer le slot B
sudo fastboot set_active b

2> with TWRP Recovery

in recovery go in reboot menu and press the slot Button that you want.

good luck

May depends on device …

Hi there, the new update broke my phone :frowning: ultimately im now stuck in fastboot with a corrupted device.

All the info I can find online points to this happening after manual e/os installs or custom ROMS but I simply pressed update in the official updater on the FP4 itsself. I was using v2.9 before and updated to 3.0 last night.

My issue is similar to that of Anonymous, just that it has progressed to get me stuck in fastboot now.

Initially, I was also stuck in recovery but could sometimes get back into the phone for about 5-6 minutes before it rebooted itsself into recovery. So I activated adb etc. and backed up light files I could copy quickly (however, in the stress I forgot my contacts of course and my 2FA app backup did not sync in time either >.<). I use Signal so I really needed that backup to copy but because it was 30gb in size, the time I had before the phone rebooted into recovery, was not enough. So I tried to push the file to my pc (linux) directly via adb, hoping the transfer speed would be better. It was but at around 30% the phone rebooted again, but not as before into recovery. This time it first showed me ā€œYour device is corrupt. It can’t be trusted and will not bootā€ and then booted into fastboot. Now im stuck there.

I cant access adb from here of course and the options allowing me to boot into recovery etc. dont work either. I tried fixes from older threads on here and other FP forums but no commands are allowed as its in lock state. This also applies to changing the active slot. Most fixes are from 2022 so im hoping maybe someone has come up with a fix by now.

Does anyone have any ideas left? I dont mind things getting complicated! I just need to somehow decrypt and access those files :pray:

Update was smooth and clear.
Everything (that I use) seems all fine.
Just tested ā€œFind my deviceā€. All is perfect, exact position was received by SMS on the recipient device.

So all great! Big thanks to the whole team! :wink:

ā€˜Wil not boot’, isn’t there a [Try again] button?

HELP!! Sad to report, my Pixel 6 Pro may have expired…

  • Vendor Name: Google
  • Device name: Pixel 6 Pro
  • Device Code: Raven
  • Version of /e/OS or Stock which existed previously: Lineage/MicroG 22.2

Step 7(below), rebooting to bootloader is where the device never turned back on.
This is the same method I have used for some years with no problem until now. Ive tried various methods to start device with no sign of life.
Any suggestions appreciated…

1 - adb reboot bootloader
2 - fastboot flash boot boot.img
3 - fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
4 - fastboot flash vendor_boot vendor_boot.img
5 - fastboot reboot recovery
in recovery wipe data(factory reset)
then select apply update from adb
6 - adb sideload rom.zip (e-3.0-a14-20250530496774-community-raven)
7 - You should also flash the second slot once your setup is complete
Repeat the steps from above
No need to wipe data again

Yea there was but sadly after pressing that it booted into fastboot for the first time and got stuck there since :confused:

Hello,

your are not alone. I’m in the same case. For now, my FP4 starts and I can access to interface. After a moment, my FP4 shutdown. My FP4 is not completely blocked because I have access to recovery mode and I can choose the ā€˜Try again’ option to start the smartphone but it is not very practical . I don’t know if the 3.0 version is installed by default on slot A but I’m on Slot B, and I’ve got the error message. I made a backup of all my files and contacts. It sucks. I made all the official updates before I had not any problems.

Hope that the E/OS team can help us.

Thanks.

Hi! After the update to /e/OS 3.0 yesterday the issue with the volume in ā€œnormalā€ calls being low and distorted persists like before. Calls sounded better before with stock Android on my FP4. Any tips or fixes?

Vendor Name: Google
Device name: Pixel 5
Device CodeName: Redfin
Previous Version of /e/OS: 2.9-t-20250321478215-official-redfin
Version of /e/OS: 3.0-t-20250528496286-official-redfin
Device: Not rooted

Update smooth & successful.
Longer process than previous updates : ~45mn (especially the ā€˜Finalising package installation’ step).

Some remarks :

  • Camera app is still useless, I’ll keep using a GCam port
  • Still Android 13, even if this was expected.

Anyway, I feel lucky compared to some others…

Hey urs_lesse!
Thanks for the information. I upgraded to 3.0 on my FP5. The A13 remains from previous. I followed the link to e/OS official FP5 download but the process stopped just after the download. I think it might be a browser issue. Are you aware of plans to push an automatic update for A14/A15 in near future? I don’t want to kill my FP5 due to lack of patience!!

Does this run to charge response including connect and disconnect power?
