Dear community, I’m desperate… It was my own failure, but maybe you can help me: I tried to root my fairphone. It worked. I disabled Googles applications Then the Fairphone didn’t want start anymore. I tried to restore the Fairphone with the original image: [HOW TO] Flash a custom ROM on FP3…

Sorry, cannot resist: Why did you do it? Otherwise, I do of course hope that someone here can help you out.

First it didn’t luck for me to root the phone. That had should be the moment to say: ok, it’s fine. Never change a working system blablabla. :grinning::gun:

Thanks a lot. Do you know how to solve the problem with the system.img (Value too large for defined data type)? I have only the long usb cable from Fairphone. Should I try to get a shorter one? Has somebody experiences with this issue? Another usb-slot doesn’t work too.

#offtopic: Happy I<3FS-day everyone! Thanks a lot dear developers!

I think the problem could be I’m using a 32 bit system. Damn…

[image] desperate-user: The phone vibrates, shows the Fairphone-splashscreen very short and shutdown. If it still shows the splashcreen, fastboot should still be working. Did you try turning it on with the Vol Down + Power Button?

Yes, but now after I followed the instructions from pigpig I could boot in fastboot again. Now I try again to install TWRP and Android.

I running it with the windows PC from my girlfriend. So I could flash the system.img with fastboot -S 256 flash system system.img Wait, shouldn’t be the linked system.img in FP 3 won't start anymore an operating system? So why it can’t boot?

FP 3 won't start anymore
