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.

Iāve 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 doāt 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 wonāt work anymore, since Iām 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.

Iām 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 didnāt 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 boyfriendās 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 isnāt valid anymore because it stopped working on 1 January 2019. But still it worked.

I just smoothly upgraded to A.0111, temporarily using someone elseās 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?
Iām on A.0110. I manually flashed it on, and locked the bootloader afterwards. Maybe the updater does not like thatā¦?
So yeah, the nanosim I ordered by KPN/Xs4all does not solve the problem. Iāve ordered a T-Mobile pre-paid SIM for 10 EUR. After that Iām out of options. I canāt reinstall everything every updateā¦
My experience with the updater is that a supposedly somehow corrupt state of the OS doesnāt prevent the updater from offering you the update.
The update process will start nonetheless and shortly after it will simply end with an āInstallation problemā ā¦ which you can get the cause of with having adb logcat running simultaneously and having a look at errors of āupdate_engineā afterwards.
Your case more seems to be the notorious SIM card trouble. Fairphone really should get this sorted out.
Luckily Iām already in update-happy Telekom-land 
.
No, it doesnāt work with my only data SIM from KPN/Xs4all nanoSIM.
And my other SIM is from HollandsNieuwe = Vodafone, same result, it doesnāt work.
On the 15th of April I switch to Youfone=KPN. Although the SIM is yet not provisioned I tried it, but no update.
I have to wait and see if I can update when on the 15th of April I switch to Youfone.

Alright, thanks for the info. I donāt know when my T-Mobile SIM arrives, and Iāll probably have to go through some weird stuff cause it being a pre-paid, but Iāll report on whether it works or not. Tele2 did not have pre-paid SIM. I didnāt bother with a MVNO.
Just got a message from my (NL) provider hollandsnieuwe. I asked them whether they have something in their (effectively, Vodafone NLās) network that somehow blocks Android system updates to my Fairphone.
They say itās a Fairphone problem, so if I would be so kind as to contact FP supportā¦ (did that already).
Maybe hollandsnieuwe is right - Iāve been with them for many years, and on my previous Motorola phone I received all updates.
Same here. Phone has not been updated since december 
Removing SIM does not help.
