Install /e/OS 3.0.1

Hi, I’m kjellh
I’m trying to install /e/OS 3.0.1 on my Murena Fairphone 5 but it’s not working.
I’m following your instructions in /e/OS Installer, I’ve connected my computer and phone with a newly purchased data transfer cable 3.
I’m not getting any communication between my computer and phone and when I type “build” in the search field the answer is a magnifying glass (no answer at all). I need adequate help as soon as possible.
Im a new guy in this and i need a step bye step guide, and why i dont get any connection computer / phone

Regards Kjell

Hi @kjellh wich browse are you using ?
As it needs WebUSB support, e-installer only works with Microsoft Edge, Opera and Chromium.

Don’t forget the degoogled-chromium

Sorry my friend, I am using MS. Edge when trying to install /e/OS 3.0.1 via /e/OS installer.

Installation using the webinstaller is not very easy, for example you need to connect your phone once to your windows PC, then refresh the available optional windows update and install the phone drivers once they are offered. Optional updates in windows (11 only) is again not easy to find for a standard user.

Without the proper driver installation, the web installer will not detect your phone.

You will also have to look for the OEM unlock instructions on fairphone official website as they are NOT present in the web installer.

If I understand correctly your message, you have a hard time finding the “build” menu in the parameters of your phone ? If that is the case, then I would recommend you not to try to install /e/ OS yourself and rather let a more experienced person do it or much better : send back your phone and order a pre-installed one on Murena.com
