FP3 - Version 1.5-202210312300909

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

hello @ATr, welcome to this Forum.

i cannot find any e-1.5-x-202210312300909-xxxx-FP3.zip on the /e/ servers
your device is on dev branch or stable branch ?

  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

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.

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

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)

simply take latest

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

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

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

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.

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