Just to be sure that I got it right: The OS-patchlevel needs to be at least the patchlevel of the bootloeader, right?
Iâm asking because I got my FP6 on monday and I flashed e/OS.
Today I updated e/OS to the newly released e/OS 3.4 and âfastboot flashing get_unlock_abilityâ still returns â0â
As far as I remember, the security patchlevel of the pre-installed FP OS was something with November and after installing the e/OS update today I expected it to be definitely at least the security patchlevel of the pre-Installed Fairphone OS.
The Date in the e/OS Version is â20260114â. So I guess it means that the security patch level is 2026-01-14?
this is not the expected behaviorâŚ
on my unlocked FP3 i can switch from enable to disable
(even if a pop up message say that rebooting is needed for the change to be taken in account)
Oh dear! I remember that I read that. But after I read your guide and wanted to download e OS, I found the web-installer and used that instead of manually flashing.
I guess itâs too late now to lock the bootloader again?
i wonât encourage you to relock now.
but to take the safe way and restore FairphoneOS also Without Relocking then reinstall /e/ on a sane base before relocking.
since a few mounth i see too much bricked phone on both /e/ and Fairphone Forums !
