FP4 Root Access is possible, maybe a bit risky

Help Fairphone 4

Thanks and yup, I understood that. Still, the direct install does not end up in being root :frowning:

But okay, then I just need to accept it for the moment.

Thanks for the help!

Which boot.img did you use, please ?

I regularly used the rooted boot image from the previous release in fastboot.
I have an archive for these. Which version do you need?

Hi Lars. I successfully updated to Android 15, but I had to uninstall Magisk. Now I’m trying to boot from a patched FP4-TP2V image, but the phone gets stuck on the splash screen. Maybe the image I’m using is too old.
I had to stop the boot process by holding down the power button and got back to Android 15, but I can’t install Magisk

Which is the version of FPOS you are currently running?

To apply OTA update after rooting:

  • If applicable, unhide Magisk app!

I guess, that the reboot should be done via the system updater and not via Magisk app. There seem to be some other tasks done during that process.
As far as I remember this was the only difference I did last time when I did not need to re-root the FP4 after the OTA.

Absolutely: the reboot should be done via the system updater.
