"plussed" Fairphone 3

They are xz compressed. The full version has 2.8 GB

I don’t have ever seen a GSI OTA because it has to be flashed by fadtboot. It’s a .img, not a zip. So OTA will work different.

If there is a way to flash it by OTA only PHH, the master of GSI could say

Indeed I missed this detail.

Thank you for those explanations.

Hi,

anyone got news on the availability of the FP3+ image?
According to store fresh devices should be shipping since yesterday, maybe delayed?

/Uwe

The FP3+ devices should start shipping from the eShop later today.
On the image …will share the link to an /e/ Q build for the FP3+ ASAP.
Team is testing it right now

Hi Manoj,

thank you so much for confirming this fast.
So, an installer image will appear then in the downloads section as well?
Until now I stayed back to flash the stock FP3 image to an FP3+ phone or would that be the way forward?

The FP3 / FP3+ /e/ Q builds in the next set of releases will be the same. As mentioned we are testing them and will share them hopefully later today.

Dear @Manoj and team,
thanks for your precious support, I am looking forward to the Q builds!
I wish you a good health for you and your family!
Best, Raymond

Hi all! Just to reiterate what I’ve said in the FP community forum, I’m a guy who cares about privacy but is extreeemeley scared of turning an expensive phone into a brick

As I can’t postpone anymore using my FP3+ that I purchased some time ago, I’ve decided that going to be used by Google for a while and use simple Android. I know you’re releasing the Q build really soon (great job!), but I’m a tech blacksmith that is out of depth with all these complicated steps.

I think I read somewhere that there’s work in progress regarding an auto-installer for the FP3, so I want to thank in advance those people because not everyone concerned about privacy is super tech-savvy. Please let us know when it’s ready. It will be much appreciated!

This code will also be released once we finish and publish the FP3 / FP3+ builds. The last update I had early this morning the team was still testing various features on the phones. Expect the release will get extended by a day.

Great news.
What about those like me who have a fp3+ already and would like to install /e/? On the descriptions of the installations guides it still says not for fp3+ or new camera moduls…

I am also wondering about this too, it does say now “Install /e/ on a Fairphone FP3/3+” but then there is a caution saying “The FP3+ and its new camera modules are not supported on /e/OS yet.” :man_shrugging:

The warning is being removed. Should not show up by Monday when the team would come in and push the change to the documentation server.

Thanks Manoj for your quick response, looking forward to testing it :slightly_smiling_face:

If you press the power button to continue, this screen will appear again?

I’ll swap the modules tonight. I had to upgrade to Q first
