Apparently, the makers of CalyxOS have decided to offer a port for the Fairphone 4. So another privacy-oriented OS is coming for the Fairphone :slight_smile: And it’s apparently based on Android 12, if I understand correctly: https://calyxos.org/news/2022/02/25/device-support/

If they already locked the bootloader (and didn’t brick), it doesn’t really matter if they got hit by that bug. Once the bootloader is locked, the OEM unlocking switch can just be toggled again. CalyxOS for example, by default, automatically resets get_unlock_ability after the first successful boot…

Huh, that’s a curious case :thinking: Not sure if there’s a misunderstandig at some point (or I don’t get it). The user started on a supposedly locked Calyx, but in the next post seems to be running DivestOS (how?), and ulimately fixed the problem using the Magisk method, which isn’t possible on a …

:see_no_evil: You are right, default profile pics on a small phone screen … :smile: Well, that is indeed a very plausible explanation. As far as I can tell, there hasn’t been any update on the fate of the first device, @juri.gagarin.ii , are you still stuck on a Calyx installation with a locked b…

Yes I am, but as CalyxOS is working well (except, of course, the camera-issue which is not exclusive to CalyxOS), I didn’t dig deeper. If I ever want to try another OS (I’m kind of an OS-hopper), I will have to think about that.

Interesting, hmmm :thinking: Could you check the output of fastboot oem device-info :pray: Oh, and the output of adb shell getprop ro.boot.flash.locked. No idea how that’s possible, locking the bootloader should just make the OEM unlocking switch available again … very interesting :smiley:

Unfortunately that will take some time as I am on holiday without my laptop. But when I’ll be home I will get the information and post it here.

CalyxOS (is coming to) is here for FP4!
