Hi there, i tried twice to install /e/ OS on FP3+. First it didnt do anything and second time now i get message " Bootloader is unlocked . . . Visit link on another device g.co/ABH" then it tries to start the phone but comes back in endless loop to previous screen then tries to restart etc.
Also myUbuntu 20.04 PC doesnt recognize phone anymore.
Any ideas???

Did you try the manual install or did you use the easy-installer?
i used the easy installer
In that case it would be nice if you can upload the log file(s) as described in Howto troubleshoot issues with the easy-installer
Good morning, i am trying to but since i am very new and not well versed in linux anyway i cant even find the cloud, i tried the other option but the file was too large, could you help me find the cloud, please?
It seems that is the log which corresponds to your first attempt as it confirms your sentence âFirst it didnt do anythingâ
Is there a second log file (there should be)? That should give more helpful information than the first one.
What did you do differently between the two attempts?
hi Ingo,
firstly just to add that i have the fp3+ which had android 10.
now in the second attempt i interrupted the process at the easy installer since it seemed to go the same way. then while fast booting i wasnt quick enough to press the right buttons and at the next attempt the screen changed even faster and then somehow this looped started i told you about. now the thing is that i have about 5 log files the one i sent you was the last log but if it helps Iâll send you the other ones. Another thing that happened was that first i wanted to install it manually and had to download the toolkit. the adb worked fine but with the fastboot not at all. when putting in the line to install the fastboot it said something like :no command
Yes, the other ones would most likely be more helpful, at least one of them. Because âsomethingâ has changed âsomethingâ on the phone so that it now doesnât boot. Iâd like to understand what exactly happened.
Hi Ingo,
somehow i cant share a link anymore. Where do i put it then?
Sorry found no other way, hope nobody is offended, its no publicity it is log files to solve the problem.

Ok, the log of about 15:12 shows
=== Flash slot A
Sending sparse âsystem_aâ 1/5 (515836 KB) FAILED (Error reading sparse file)
fastboot: error: Command failed
exit value = 2
Later logs then basically donât detect the phone before any commands are executed.
Ok, so I think this means the only two things that were changed on the phone is a) the bootloader got unlocked and b) the userdata was successfully wiped with fastboot -w.
Edit: I had to get away from keyboard for a bit, that part above is just the analysis.
Not sure why this went wrong and also not sure why it caused the problems you have.
In order to get the phone running again it would be good to check if you can manually boot it into fastboot mode.
So, when your phone is switched off, switch it on again while holding the volume down key the whole time.
After a while, does your phone show this screen?
If you can enter fastboot mode, it might be a good idea to get the phone back into a known good state by flashing the stock ROM again.
Thatâs described in https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048050332
Hi Ingo,
i have been busy with cows and sowing pasture but now i am back unable to solve the problem. But I am a step further it seems. I am getting into fastboot mode and it doesnt run only loops. Now i tried to follow your advice to reinstall Android10. Now my trouble is that running the command
ricardo@ricardo-MS-7817:~/Downloads/Android10/FP3-REL-Q-3.A.0129-20210805.135600-user-fastbootimage$ sudo ./FP3_flashall
this was the answer: sh: 1: ./linux-x86/fastboot: not found
ricardo@ricardo-MS-7817:~/Downloads/Android10/FP3-REL-Q-3.A.0129-20210805.135600-user-fastbootimage$ sudo chmod +x FP3_flashall_linux
Answer: chmod: cannot access âFP3_flashall_linuxâ: No such file or directory
Looking up the folder of the latest downloaded version the linux x86 folder is empty
Does it work without sudo, i.e. with just ./FP3_flashall?
Same answer
âŚfastboot: not found
now i just figured out how to get into a âlower levelâ of the Fairphone where one can do "data wipe out/Factory reset etc. "; there is an option called âApply update from adbâ and âApply update from SD cardâ just testing what happens with adb option suddenly the computer recognizes the phone again and the phone asks to get the files send via âsideloadâ
Got any experience with that?
Thatâs the recovery mode, and it doesnât help much with the issue, because Fairphone OS and /e/ installation on the Fairphone 3/3+ uses fastboot mode, not the ADB sideload feature of the recovery mode.
Note sure whatâs wrong but it sounds a bit as if not everything is unpacked correctly. When youâre in the
âFP3-REL-Q-3.A.0129-20210805.135600-user-fastbootimageâ folder, whatâs the output of find?
