Can't unlock OEM, showing "Processing" message permanently

I found the mails notifications from the FP support :
My memory was not so good lol.

After reading, my bootloader problem seems to be solved but I didn’t have the time too put my phone on /e/os (so I should did it way later, maybe at the end of the year 2021 (?) ).

I put the mails here (with no personals info in it) but it will not be very usufull for you, sorry. Only FP support can help I think :

Hello,

I contact you because I’m trying to install /e/OS on my Fairephone 3.
I need to unlock the bootloader, I got the code (after a long time on the FP website) with my IMEI ( *** ) and my serial number ( *** ) but when I tried to use it, I’m still blocked with a message saying: “Processing…”

I read and contacted the community on the FP forums but for now no solutions.

Have you got a solution please ?
Thank you
*** Alexandre

Dear Alexandre,

My name is Solveig from the support team. I’ll be your case manager, nice to e-meet you :slight_smile:

Thank you for supporting Fairphone and for reaching out. I am sorry you are experiencing this problem while unlocking your bootloader!

I believe this might have been a temporary problem - you should now be able to unlock your bootloader, and install your custom OS. My apologies for the inconvenience.

Please feel free to reach out to me with any further questions you might have.

I wish you a lovely day, take care!

Best regards,

Solveig

Hello,

Thank you for your answer.

I didn’t have the occasion to retry because the 0.17 version of /e/OS was removed from the servers due to some problems.

Now, the new 0.17 with bug fix is back but… I don’t have the time for now to install /e/OS.

I’ll retry when I can as soon as possible.

Thank you again for taking time to respond to me.

Best regards,

*** Alexandre

Hello,

Thank you for asking.

Unfortunatly, some problems came in my life, and for now I don’t have the time to launch this project for my phone…

You can close this request, the problem of the bootloader should be gone for everyone.

I hope I’ll retry to install /e/OS in some few months with (finger crossed) no problems. :wink:

Best rergards and thank you again.
