Missed Fairphone: FP4 : S (A12) → T (A13) OS OTA upgrade

[obel1x]

Looks like i have somehow missed “Fairphone: FP4 : S (A12) → T (A13) OS OTA upgrade”

and my fp4 ist still on S-stable of April’24… and no update is shown in the settings any more + app lounge is not working with google or anonymous any more.

Can i manually upgrade without loosing the data or would the easy installer do the upgrade when used and keeping my apps in place? (got adb runninge and knowlege of fastboot, but i am afraid to loose data when sideloading)

If not - there any archive to get the missed upgrades?

Easy-installer will erase the /data partition

Prefer the upgrade using the recovery method (with the help of the " recovery-compatible e-xxxxxxxx.zip" file, not the “fastboot-compatible IMG-e-xxxxxxxxxx.zip” file), to preserve your /data,
DON’T PERFORM ANY FACTORY-RESET

Dirty upgrade to /e/OS-T is possible ! (But not for all devices)

HowTo perform a dirty upgrade to “/e/OS-T” from a previous /e/ version ? → it is as simple as a dirty update… there are multiple ways : download the file, go to " → settings → system updater" and use the called “locale update” feature if you have it in the “3 dot menu”. OR download the file, boot the phone to the recovery mode and use “apply update” then “from internal storage” if your “recovery mode” have the feature. OR download the file on a SDcard, boot the phone to the recovery mo…

Thank you for the quick proposal. Now that i have the links, i would like to use this image, while i am on official stable: https://ota.ecloud.global/stable/FP4/e-2.5-t-20241108446629-official-FP4.zip will try it in a few days.

This problem seems to affect some users as it seems, and i guess that its a question of how much time has gone by since the upgrade was missed so now there is no way to get it from the updater any more as the newer updates are no upgrades any more?

Would there be a way to have the old upgrade- rom working for a longer period than now, so that the updater on those devices would even now find an old rom to upgrade to from which the newest updates could be installed?
Just a proposal to make customers a bit more happy.
Best Rgs, daniel

can confirm that Dirty upgrade to /e/OS-T is possible ! (But not for all devices) - #24 by piero works (did the adb sideload)

As said, maybe keep the updates longer available - or better: make the updater force the update to be done really annoing so noone misses it.
Than you very for the Help!
