Hi, Since I couldn’t find a section that was titled "installation of \e\OS I hope it’s ok posting this here.
I’m trying to install \e\OS on a Fairphone 4.
I went through the instructions step by step https://doc.e.foundation/devices/FP4/install. However, in step 6 (unlocking the bootloader), I received a “< waiting for any device” message. And no other message was received on the phone or adb terminal (waited for about 10 minutes).
The bootloader didn’t respond with any message. Though it doesn’t mention anything in the instructions, I assume I should have seen a message that I then" Approve with volume + then power"?.
FYI, after I entered “adb reboot” in the PC terminal (whilst connected to the Fairphone OP), the device restarted in bootloader mode. If it’s relevant, at the bottom of the list it stated “Device status - Locked”
Also, I assume that “all the console commands are run on an adb enabled PC and in the adb
console”- meaning in the adb folder in a terminal? For example, I’m running the command in the terminal "platform-tools> Because the phone does reboot from that adb terminal screen, I assume I’m doing that right.
Thanks for the guidance regarding what step I may have missed.
Windows 11.
