Sorry my English knowledge (not the best).
So, I bougth my first Fairphone3 and the phone has Android 10.
I would like to install /e/OS and I use my Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
I have a problem, I havenât active OEM unlocking, so I couldnât go next step.
The âUSB debuggingâ is working fine, the âadb reboot bootloaderâ is ok, the âfastboot devicesâ is working fine, but the âfastboot flashing unlockâ or âfastboot oem unlockâ doesnt work.
Thanks, itâs woriking, but I think the main problem: the phone didnât connect to internet. After I connected, itâs working. I unlocked the phone.
OK, I tried this and it didnât work. I managed to flash the system.img Ok - though it didnât give me the âtarget reported max download size of 534773760 bytesâ message, which was a little worrying. it did give the correct output for the others though and flashed all 4 parts on. But when I tried to flash the boot.img, it returned an error of âfastboot: error: Couldnât parse partition size â0xâ.â
Hi, thanks, I tried that, and it flashed it, but then booted into Android after Iâd finished. Scanning here, I noted that there are two slots and I should really flash the OS onto both of them, like mdoering says above. So, I followed his thing, only after flashing the whole OS onto one slot, i then changed to the other slot, rebooted the bootloader (flashboot reboot bootloader) and then flashed the boot.img onto the previous slot (ie, the one that I wasnât using). It seems you canât flash the boot.img onto the active slot.
Hi /e/ team,
as you may know, the FP3 had a recent oopsie that has the potential to destroy my data.
While most of my stuff is backed up, I did the traditional âiâll set up a back up for that stuff laterâ on some other important stuff, and Iâm just wondering how I would go about flashing the old rom onto my FP3 whilst keeping my data partition intact. Iâve heard of the a/b fix but according to this, that might not go too well.
From what I understand, thereâs a total of 6 partitions that the FP3 houses.
The case you linked to needs clarification on what exactly the user did.
There are several more.
The data partition which has your data is called userdata, and because it has your data an update doesnât flash or wipe it. The wiping of it is part of the instructions of an initial manual install, though.
I allowed USB debugging for this computer before shutting off and starting fastboot mode.
From the website provided in the message I tried the instructions but with no luck.
yep, relogin or newgrp plugdev to change your group to it interactively. But then new files in the terminal session will be created with that group too.
In the /e/documentation (https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP3/install) the last step is the lock of the bootloader.
Is it mandatory or may I leave the bootloader open? In a later case of unlocking, all data will be erased - I would like to avoid erasingâŠ
It isnât mandatory to lock it, but be aware that it is advised to lock it for reasons.
Make sure to set up a screen lock if you leave the bootloader unlocked.
To leave it open just in case you donât need to unlock it later for reasons you donât know yet ⊠I donât know ⊠I would rather run the risk of having to set up the phone again.
(But then again I choose to not have banking Apps on my phone, oh, the bliss .)
Not sure, where to ask this. Maybe this is a good place.
Now that /e/ finally allows for Corona Warn App to work, I would like to revert back. However, I am currently running LOS 16.0 and I am not sure if the official install instructions will work under those circumstances, especially since I would be upgrading to from pie to Q. Has anyone tried it? Does anyone know if complications are to be expected?
I hope this is the right place to post my question, as it concerns different threads.
Wanting to degoogle my mobile life and having read about the e-foundation I bought a used Fairphone 3 (Android 10 installed) last week. And now I am trying to install eOS. However, I am completely new to the fieldâŠ
In a first step I tried to follow the instructions on Install /e/ on a Fairphone FP3/3+ - âFP3â. In order to do so, I downloaded the necessary files and installed âMinimal ADB and Fastbootâ on my PC (Windows 10). However, I got stuck with the command: âfastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.0-0-FP3.imgâ. I got: âFAILED (remote: partition table doesnât exist)â.
I then started reading across different forums. In different places, I found the recommandation not to install TWRP on the FP3 as this would make OTA updates impossible in the future. (E.g. here.)
When I came along this thread here, I realized that in this instruction no TWRP is flashed to the FP3. I am therefore wondering whether I might adapt this instruction for me (although I am not using Linux but a Windows 10), and install eOS in this way?
Any recommendations on that? Could it be a feasible way at all? And if so, are there certain commands which would have to be adapted?
