thronbie:
But when I execute the script (flash-for-windows.bat) it starts right away, but after a very short while the procedure is aborted and the phone shows the message „E: footer is wrong, E: signature verification failed“. It has done this several times concistently, so obviously there is some problem there.
Now that we know TWRP is in the wrong partition, you just have to flash it to the recovery partition, directly boot into it afterwards (don’t boot into Fairphone OS afterwards as it will replace TWRP with the stock recovery again) and continue here as already suggested …
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…
