Do I also have to go back to factory settings?

If you’re willing to start from scratch (you will lose your data on the phone), you might as well do it right and wipe the whole phone for a really clean new install …

FP2 cannot install Fairphone Open 17.10.1

You could try the TWRP way to completely wipe the phone and make a clean install from scratch … I found that to be very helpful and reliable when trying out different OSes. Attention! This will remove the installed OS and all your data from the phone (which most things labeled “factory reset” on the Fairphone 2 will not completely do). Get TWRP running as recovery (skip this step if you have the latest version running already): Download the latest TWRP image from the “Download Links” sectio…
