Hello, @Manoj,

I am looking forward to v3.1.1.

It’s unclear to me how I myself can upgrade my (official) Murena Fairphone 5 from A13 to A14/A15 if I don’t want to wait for the OTA upgrade?

I can read that some people are doing a “dirty” upgrade by simply downloading the relevant image with a version corresponding to the one already installed but with a never Android and then doing a local update. Is that the way to do this? Are there any risks besides losing your data?

Thanks in advance.

Looking forward to this, too :slightly_smiling_face: Also because I want to experiment a bit with a Fairphone 3 on e-A13-official hopefully getting to e-A15-community by ADB sideload (not my daily driver FP3+).

I’m so looking forward to finally getting 90hz back to FP5. What a journey.

I may consider trying out a dirty upgrade for the first time on a different device.

You may wanna look into:

Hello,

Currently I am not offered a v3.1.1. on my Fairphone 6. Do I still have to be patient or is something not going correctly here?

Thank you and greetings

It’s not there yet. You can always check here (Fairphones only):

/e/OS community FP4 download or /e/OS official FP4 download
/e/OS community FP5 download or /e/OS official FP5 download
/e/OS community FP6 download or /e/OS official FP6 download

Right now there is no 3.1.1. download up yet.

will the build that fail this time be dropped from the supported devices? and will there be a separate announcement for that?
excitedly looking forward to 3.1 for my Redmi (sweet) so fingers crossed.
and a general thank you for everything that you do!

Is it finally being addressed ? I couldn’t find the bug report, the old links return an error. Finally as I’ve never been able to use it.

Further bad news, a number of the A15 builds are failing. The reason is there are changes happening upstream which then get pulled into the builds causing them to fail. Will not have the final list of devices which will get the A15 build, until all the build stops. :crossed_fingers:

Dirty upgrade is not the recommended way by the /e/OS team, you would be doing things on your own risk and there is no guarantee it will work.

Since you are on official and have a Murena then you will have a locked bootloader. Then a dirty upgrade is not possible at all. You need to open the bootloader to flash anything on the device. By doing that you will lose your data. You will need to restore your data. If you wanna upgrade (you did not state which Android version you have at the momen I guess the current one) then you will need a fresh install.

Thank you for clarifying that. I’ll wait patiently for the OTA upgrade. :blush:

HAL problems with LineageOS were one of the reasons I bought a new mobile one month ago and switched here (support for my old mobile stopped completely as Android raised its HAL requirements)… .
I really hope you manage to sort this issues out soon…

What do you mean, regarding the post you answered to?
Builds failing means there is no new version for devices for which builds are failing, so you can’t install a failed build or update to it, and you just stay on the version you currently have.

The version / build we release is the version to install. We do not release builds that failed. The zip files that we share show up in the output folder only if the builds succeed. Failed builds do not compile. During the build process we get a message on the command prompt that the build failed and a bunch of error messages.
We will release v3.1.1 in a day or two as now they are being QA tested and those builds you can flash on your device. You would get it OTA on your device.

We normally do not release builds during the weekend - just in case anything goes wrong it is always good to have all hands on deck. Will update later during the day if we have a decision on the release start date.
