Hello, I have my Fairphone 6 since October 2025 and am on stock Android. Model was bought directly from Fairphone in EU. Last Update installed is FP6.QREL.15.178.0 a few days ago, which worked fine. Today the phone turned off due to low battery because I forgot to charge it in time. I plugged it in…

[image] samp: . I also tried this: FP5 not booting after update to Android 15 - #102 by anon76468197 which did not help. So you already tried at least 7 times? And you have tried the next reboot faster? [image] FP5 not booting after update to Android 15 Fairphone 5 …

Yes I already tried that. I repeated the boot/reboot 8 times and started pressing as soon as the fairphone + android text lit up - as mentioned in the citation. Sadly that did not change anything for me. Will try without the SIM card.

Without SIM/SD card did not change anything either, sadly. Is there any way to rollback or reinstall the last software update through adb? Or debug possible errors/crashes at startup using adb?

I am all for silly solutions, so thanks for bringing this to my attention :slight_smile: Sadly no change here as well. This fix seems to only work for the Fairphone 5. Meanwhile I tried my best tackling this situation with adb and fastboot, but no luck here as well. Via Adb I do not get access to …

Hi @samp , today I’m in your same boat: I restarted the FP6 using the Android menu, like usual. But now it is stucked at the “I” during the boot. How did you manage to recover your phone? I don’t want to loose the data, only few things are not synced but I want them. The only thing that works is th…

Hello, sadly I did not :frowning: I wrote a support ticket to Fairphone but they never answered. I then tried contacting them directly via their chat a few weeks after, but they only apologized and did nothing further to help me with my problem. They neither offered to look into this error nor hel…

So you did not choose a repair or wasnt that possible? Thats faster than waiting for support andnin my eyes the only way out. For the rest: such things can happen, things can go wrong at any time. Seeing that as bug during beta means, it must be very common, which it isnt. As you never had such wi…

For future visitors: I wiped the data using the recovery menu, losing everything. Now, two weeks later, everything is still working as expected. A free advise: export F-Droid installed apps. There is no way to recover them after a fresh start. Also: check sometimes the config in your used apps, fo…
