Hello, i’m having the most difficult time trying to setup my new FairPhone 6+. I received it in the mail yesterday, and it came with the stock android version installed. The website advertises that FP6 uses E/OS, but it doesn’t say that “you” have to install it.
Luckily, there’s an automated installer Installer | /e/OS documentation , but it’s process is poorly laid out. The “physical” instruction manual that comes with the phone - that you read first because it has all the important warning messages and usage information - instructs the user to update to the latest security patches when first receiving and using the phone, so i did. Then I went to the /e/OS installer, but then it’s saying that my device’s security patch is too new (I’m guessing I shouldn’t have followed the physical instructions first). And in order to get past that, i need to “Wait” until the next security update patch is available.
Does anyone know when the next security patch will be available? If it’s more than a few weeks, i think i may just return the new phone.
I bought the FP6 so that i can both de-google and use replaceable parts, but their order-of-operations is wrong, and now it looks like i can’t use the phone.
