I’m assuming this is the Marshmallow update. I used the self updater and the phone burned through 70% of battery within an hour while booting and optimizing/recompiling the apps again and again. I’ll try later to apply a fresh flash so be warned this might not work as intended! important: BEFORE …

Troubleshooting wiki: If you haven’t upgraded yet Follow these steps to avoid the boot loop: Perform a #dic:backup Undo system and boot modifications (like rooting) or be prepared to do a #dic:hardreset Re-Enable the Google App if it’s disabled. According to @ChuckMorris other GAPPS don’t have t…

[image] Suckelo: is this an android marchmellow “as is”? No more fairphone flavour? No it is not AOSP, it’s still FP OS, just with a few less FP specific features . However you still have a (different) FP-launcher, FP wallpapers, the inactive Apps feature and of course the FP updater app (& t…

Calm down. :slight_smile: This issue is very specific, it’s not about being unable to deactivate “GAPPS”. This only concerns the Google App, not “Google apps” in general (like Hangouts, Drive etc.). Android 6 has a new feature called Assist. The Google App is set as the default Assist app. If you…

Thanks @ChuckMorris for this info. Could you add a description on how to set the Assist app to none in the wiki above . PS: Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hello! So could anybody come up with a solution to avoid a complete wipe out/factory reset? I contacted FP two times via mail but they don’t answer. I also tried to save everything via adb but it didn’t work. Does my phone have to be rooted to do so? I didn’t study IT so all this is really new and a…

@Alexandra_Maria if you haven’t upgraded yet you won’t any longer run into this issue as the updater app now prevents you from updating unless everything is set up right. Did you already upgrade and need assistance getting out of the boot loop? Otherwise I’d close this thread.

I did upgrade last week and I’m stuck in the boot loop, yes!

Well if you didn’t disable the Google App or rooted your device before upgrading go to #dic:recoverymode to perform a cache wipe. After that the app optimization process should work (may still take 2 or 3 times). If you did disable the Google App, rooted your device or the cache wipe doesn’t help t…

Sigh. Disabled the Google App and now my lovely updated phone has had to be wiped clean. AH well…

@ChuckMorris Just happened to me, how did you get out of it again? I updated to Marshmallow, then disabled the Google App and a couple of seconds later the phone crashed and was caught in a bootloop…
