Hi, I am very happy for FP3 support!
I just installed /e/OS on FP3. I received an error in the procedure indicated here https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP3/install .
I changed
$ fastboot -w
with
$ fastboot erase cache
getting this error:
erasing ‘cache’…
FAILED (remote: Partition table doesn’t exist
)
and with
$ fastboot erase userdata
returned status OKAY.
I am on Debian 10. FP3 has now started and seems to be working. I will update the post after usage test. Thank you!

I got a similar error on Mac OS:

Will this cause me any trouble later on?

My phone works very well despite the error made during installation. I just have a couple of small problems with audio on video calls and LiveDisplay: display’s color temperature doesn’t change at all. I will report a bug next days. Overall I’m very satisfied with /e/!
Yeah, that’s already known and issues exist in the bug tracker: LiveDisplay doesn't work on Fairphone 3

Hi lkesjbnrti,
since I couldn’t find any indication searching the internet and my phone was new, I ignored the error
erasing ‘cache’…
FAILED (remote: Partition table doesn’t exist
)
and moved on to the next command:
fastboot flash system.img
and then all the others as indicated in the installation guide. I had no further problems with the procedure. My phone was new, never used. Now after a few days of use I can say that I have no major problems. Unfortunately, I can’t give you any more details. I’m just a beginner at this. Hope helps!

Thank you! I didn’t know that.
