FP3 - Version 1.5-202210312300909

[ATr]

Hi,

I m using a Fairphone 3 and my OS Version is 1.5-202210312300909.
As you see this is a two year old version and since I have installed this (via systemupdate) in the systemupdates I haven t got a newer version. As I have seen, this isn t the latest one?
So my question: How is it possible to update?

Thank you very much, ATr

your device is on dev branch or stable branch ?

How is it possible to update?

1. download the new version,
   e-2.4-t-20240925436899-community-FP3.zip
   or
   e-2.4-t-20240924436695-official-FP3.zip
2. reboot to recovery mode
   With the device powered off - hold Volume Up + Power.
3. “apply the update” (if using recovery-e), or “install” (if using TWRP)

.

do NOT perform factory-reset

.

@piero

select “Apply Update”

then

• Choose from internal storage
  or
• Choose from sdcard1
  
  

Select the folder where you put the downloaded file

Choose the last /e/build

wait severals minutes …

Go back to the main menu
Using the “<–” bouton at the top left of the screen

Choose “Reboot the device now”,

it’s done !

This would correspond to the /e/OS 1.5-q-20221031230909-dev-FP3 OTA update, so (if confirmed) Android 10 and dev, so no OTA upgrade to a newer Android version because of dev, so either the inofficial way via recovery (fingers crossed) or a new install it is … Install /e/OS on a Fairphone FP3/3+ - “FP3”

Be safe with a backup of all your important stuff.

@piero

or “install” (if using TWRP)

TWRP on the Fairphone 3 requires an unlocked bootloader to boot, or rooting and some considerable additional Magisk wizardry.

@AnotherElk

This would correspond to the /e/OS 1.5-q-20221031230909-dev-FP3

Thanks a lot to all of you for your help!
Yes it should be this version - looking into my settings: 1.5-q-20221031230909-dev-FP3
I m an absolute noob - so when I understand it correctly there is no update to this one and I have to install e completely new.
So two more questions:

• Which version should I take to get instant updates?
• Is there a program you can recommend that helps me getting my phonenumbers, pictures from the phone?

Thank you, ATr

You can have a try upgrading using the recovery-e software (if already installed on your device)

@ATr

Which version should I take to get instant updates?

simply take latest

[urs_lesse]

@ATr

Which version should I take to get instant updates?

Definitely go for the “stable” version then (recently labeled “official”, too).

[piero]

@urs_lesse

Definitely go for the “stable” version (recently labeled “official”)

with that branch you will be abble to have OTA upgrades via the system updater in the future…

Hi,
and thank you again!
This sounds to me to be the easiest way, but couldn t find it on my phone. Think so I don t have it - but where do I have to look for it?

Thank you, ATr

[piero]

With the device powered off
hold Volume Up + Power

see post 3 by @piero

@piero

With the device powered off
hold Volume Up + Power

Thank you very much! It worked (version 1.5).
Now I can choose between:

• Reboot system now
• Apply updates
• Factory reset
• Advanced

After pressing Apply udate (Think this is the one to get an update) - I can select Apply from ADB only. Than there is something with “ADB Sideload” it does nothing and I can click cancel only.
So it doesn t work for me, or do I have to do something else before?

Thank you, ATr

[urs_lesse]

While it does not help you, I can just confirm that I never had the “from internal storage” nor the “from sdcard1” option from piero’s second screenshot in my /e/ recovery either.

[piero]

So you need to install “adb” on your computer,

Here is the summary : (1) install the appropriate Flashing Tools (2) allow “Non Vendor OS” to be installed on the device (3) Check the communication between the PC and your smartphone (4) Download a custom recovery manager (5) Download an /e/OS build (6) Unlock the Bootloader (7) Flash a custom recovery manager on your device (8) install /e/ from your computer, using the “adb sideload” method or (9) Install /e/ without computer using the “Device-Storage…

Thank to all of you, but I got stuck again!

• Tried the recovery guid, but stuck somewhere at point 4 (have no idea what the difference btwn. TWRP and recovery-e is and couldn t find a file that sounded it would be the “recovery update”
  Do I have to download the whole eOS for that recovery thing?

• Tried to reinstall e OS via Easy Installer, but it seems the filelocation “https://images.ecloud.global/stable/FP3/IMG-e-latest-t-FP3.zip.sha256sum” doesn t exist - downloading error. (Had the same issue when I tried to get that file via download by hand - couldn t find or get to the file).

Thank you, ATr

downloading error. (Had the same issue when I tried to get that file via download by hand - couldn t find or get to the file).

@ATr

Tried to reinstall e OS via Easy Installer,

• Easy-installer is not apropriate in your case, as it will erase all data on your device.

@ATr

couldn t find a file that sounded it would be the “recovery update”

• as said in post 3, download the latest version,

dev e-2.4-t-20240925436899-community-FP3.zip
or
stable e-2.4-t-20240924436695-official-FP3.zip

@ATr

have no idea what the difference btwn. TWRP and recovery-e is

look at the photos for differences, BUT

• as @AnotherElk said, using TWRP is complicate on this device, so choose the recovery-e procedure
• as @urs_lesse said, there is no device storage method possible on your device, go direct from step (1) “install adb”, to step (8) “using the recovery-e”

@ATr

After pressing Apply udate (Think this is the one to get an update) - I can select Apply from ADB only. Than there is something with “ADB Sideload”

• so from your computer type :

adb sideload e-2.4-t-20240924436695-official-FP3.zip

• as explained in step (8) :

@piero

Select Apply Update, then Apply from ADB

The screen should now change and the output at the bottom ask you to send the package from your computer.

On the computer issue command to sideload the eOS installation zip.

adb sideload e-2.4-t-20240924436695-official-FP3.zip

the phone screen will be mostly blank with just the output at the bottom showing progress.

On the computer the sideloading shows progress as a percentage figure that will stop at 47%. The phone will still be installing though (even though it might feel like nothing is happening sometimes!) and you can expect to see the following screens

Then press the arrow at the top of the screen to return to Home Screen

Tap Reboot system now to boot into eOS.

Thank you again - think now I m having it.
Thought the link wasn t part of the unreachable murena.io services - so I have to wait until it works again.
Yours, ATr

[piero]

Should works now using e-2.4.1-t-20241008439851-official-FP3.zip

[ATr]

Haven t tried it because I was too scared of destroying something. But today I tried it, because the phone is now lagging when using the browser …
But directly got a problem:
Think everything worked —> “Apply from ADB” → “Step 1/2” finished,
but I think I got stuck in “Step 2/2” → since about an hour I m having this message on my screen and nothing moves on …

Any ideas?
Thank you again!
