I saw today that by the recent announcement that the OTA for Fairphone 3 was restored . I was thrilled to install the latest version of e/OS but when I go “Programme de mise à jour” (it’s French which roughly means ‘updater’), I have a ‘no update avalaible’ message… Why ?
A precision : my poor Fairphone 3, stayed on 0.23-20220406176461 (Android 9) since 2022, because OTA updates were broken. Is this the reason why I can’t make the OTA update ?
Your version is too old and even that one which can’t be update because Fairphone has changed encryption.
For the clean install you can check installation guide or check other peoples posts with 0.23. There is plenty. Please make a backup to restore afterwards
Ah OK. I am on the stable branch. Your solution is very interesting. I would like to try it but since I am a very basic user, I am not sure I can work it out… Someone advised to use the Easy Installer. Is it possible to jump to from 0.23 stable version to 2.9 ? If yes, I know that all my data will be lost… Maybe is there an easy way to backup and restore it afterwards ?
