Just tried to install on on a brand new FP5. Was the third time I did it. Got it to boot in e/OS. Then went back to fastboot mode to relock the bootloader and after:
got a message that the phone was corrupted and could not boot. Now it only displays the fastboot menu and keeps going back there. Also I cannot connect to it any longer through my PC. Does this mean I bricked it? Could use a pointer here as to if this is fixable
By this do you mean that with the phone apparently in fastboot mode, with the green START at the top you get no response from
fastboot devices
??
This would tend to define âNon functioning fastbootâ which would indicate requiring reimaging by by Fairphone if you tried to lock the phone after downgrading Android SPL.
This is mentioned as
Caution: The FP5 comes with an anti-rollback feature. Google Android anti-roll back feature is supposedly a way to ensure you are running the latest software version, including the latest security patches.
If you try installing a version of /e/OS based on a security patch that is older than the one on your device, you will brick your device. Click on Details below for detailed information
⌠but you really do have to Click on Details below to fully understand the issue.
This is exactly what I mean. No matter what option I choose, it goes back to this screen.
âadb devicesâ
shows no devices now.
âwhich would indicate requiring reimaging by by Fairphone if you tried to lock the phone after downgrading Android SPL.â
I think this is what happened yeah. Does this mean I should ask Fairphone if they can reimage it? I donât get how I did not have this problem with previous attempts. Donât rememeber if I just didnât relock or that versions were different at those times.
Rollback protection errors are FATAL when the bootloader is LOCKED.
Rollback protection errors are IGNORED when the bootloader is UNLOCKED.
If you try installing a version of /e/OS based on a security patch that is older than the one on your device, you will brick your device.you must keep it UNLOCKED
When you are not sure whether it can be locked, you can try to enter the command.
Fastboot flashing get_unlock_ability is not 0, it must be 1! If it is zero, donât continue!
