Thanks Elk
You’re quite right. I uninstalled the inherited Updater and did as you suggested. It seems to be installing.
Friedliche Grüße / Hearty greetings

I’m also a Vodafone victim. I have a second SIM (Xs4all / KPN) but it isn’t a nano SIM, its a micro SIM. So I had to order a new SIM (for 5 EUR) just to get updates for my OS. Oh well.
As for Google Pay, from a physical security standpoint this allows people to use less cash which is good to combat COVID-19.

Everybody having update trouble by not receiving this/various updates: remove your sim and update the phone without any mobile provider at all via wifi only, no sims in use/inserted. bare phone updates always work. always worked, at least for me.

my FP3 (bought from memolife.de independently from Vodafone!) was stuck on version A.0105
for me removing Vodafone SIM (and using WLAN only) was not enough, a had to insert another SIM (o2/fonic) and only then I got A.0111 advertised.
I hope I won’t need to do this every month …

This definitely does not work. Just tried it. Unfortunately I don’t have a second sim…

I’m with hollandsnieuwe (privately) and Vodafone NL (professionally), i.e. 2 SIMs. Both use the Dutch Vodafone network. Tried both suggested options:
-
remove both SIMs
-
insert a single KPN SIM (I even tried both SIM slots)
Unfortunately, I was not offered the update, I’m still on A.0110.

I’m trying the ADB option. It doesn’t see my phone when I connect it with usb. On the manuel there is no explanation witch option you should put my phone on (ptp, midi, usb-tethering, filetransfer) etc. I’m using macos. Does anyone has an answer on this?
Found out that you have to put usb debugging on. And that you have to tab you device build-number for a number of times to get devellopper options.
And then?
I get: “Fairphone/FP3/FP3:9/8901.2.A.0110.20200109/01092024:user/release-keys”.
adb is working, only I don’t have an image for the A.0110 version to update from. Can anyone provide this one?
Now I was successful and got the update A.0111.
I removed my Vodafone Germany SIM card and inserted a Telekom D1 SIM card (a prepaid data card which is normally used in my notebook). The update was available immediately. I bought my FP3 at Vireo.

I’ve tried with a KPN SIM, and it does not work. Even when removing the Vodafone SIM. Enabling USB debugging does not solve the issue for me either. Disabling VPN does not solve the problem either.

Thanks for the file. But every file I get ends at exactly 47% of transfer. The message:
Update package verifiaction took 6.5 s (result 0)
Installing update...
E: Error in /sideload/package.zip (Status 1).What goes wrong here?
I do’t get this update on my FP3. I have the last update from 2019/12/05. What can I do?
Okey, I fooled my FP3. I still had an old T-mobile sim card. It won’t work anymore, since I’m now at KPN. But then the update picked up and now I installed Netflix successfull. And also ASN Betalen can be installed now. I will try paying with it tomorrow.

I’m also not seeing the update. No matter with or without my SIMs (one of which is Vodafone.de and the other T-Mobile, I think). Also playing with the dev options didn’t change anything. Any other ideas?
Have you just removed both Sims or did you leave the Telekom one in the Phone?
removing both didnt help me, but using my boyfriend’s o2 card was the solution.

The trick was to remove both sim cards and replace that with one form T-mobile. After rebooting my phone the update was available. And that T-mobile sim isn’t valid anymore because it stopped working on 1 January 2019. But still it worked.

I just smoothly upgraded to A.0111, temporarily using someone else’s Tele2 SIM as the only SIM.
I would hope that this weirdness will not last and will write my provider. Or maybe switch to Tele2

Same here, it just does not want to work either with Xs4all (KPN) or Vodafone SIM or without a SIM. Could I manually install that zip somewhere?
