Hey,
I just updated to 1.8.5 and I guess everything runs like it should. After upgrading I changed the storage partition to the single partition like explained.
My problem is that i cannot download the Google Play Store and all the other google apps. When I hit the Google Installer widget it downloads for a few minutes and then reboots. But then there still are no google apps installed and the phone asks me again to install them. I did it a several times but nothing happens.
I hope someone can help me!!
We investigated the issues with the 1.8.5 storage upgrade and there is something off in the google apps installation, which prevents it from installing correctly. We temporarily halted the availability of the 1.8.5 storage upgrade.
The developers are working on a new google apps package that will hopefully be available tomorrow to resolve the issue and enable you to re-install google apps.
Same Problem Here ā¦ I repartioned my FP 1 (first Batch) , updatet manualy (updater did not do it propaly saying cache is full) and stuck around this circle of installing gapps .
Install it via updater
Reboot
Robot
Updater say there is no gappā¦
I did install manually. But the first two times were giving me errors on updates due to the cache being full no matter Ho much I cleared updater data.
Therefore I did the unified 1.8.5 updater and now going to sdcard in recovery mode just shows an empty nameless folder so manual updating is no longer possible.
I did at first, but after I installed the Storage Update I tried the 1.8.5 update from within the āFairphone Upgraderā again, but still had no luck with gapps
@paulakreuzer: Yes, I did the manual update because the update in the Fairphone app failed.
@paulakreuzer@Marco Is there no quick fix for this problem? Isnāt it possible to install the Google Apps manually?
Because of that I canāt use my phone until I have reinstalled the GAPPS.
The problem is, the SD card isnāt mounted correct in the recovery tool, so the installation is only possible over ADB on my phone. I canāt access the phone storage.
I tried to reinstall the update via ADB, but I get the following error:
āError: Invalid partition setting
15: ebr2 3d80000:3d00000
Installation aborted.ā
hi Paul, I did a manual update from 1.5 to 1.8.5, because for the updater app hasnāt been working at all for quite a while (I didnāt get round to updating to 1.6 straightaway, and when I wanted to, 1.8 had just been announced and then pulled againā¦).
Hopefully tomorrowās fix will get us unlooped!
Hmm seems Unified isnt completely installed. 3e recovery still canāt mount sd.
Putting the gapps on intermal sd doesnāt work either.
smaller size sd doesnt help
formating sd as etx4 doesnt help
sideloading doesnt work due to missing scatter file in gapps (logical, its an update, not a rom image)
hmmmm, trying the flash route described by @Kephson nextā¦
yes, Iāve tried this thing already on the week-end. But doesnāt work for me.
The Fairphone Updater App tells me Iām on 1.8.5, by upgrading from 1.6 by only(!) running the ā1.8.5 Storage Upgraderā. Is it true that it includes a full 1.8.5 system as well, since the Upgrade process page told me on Saturday that I have to install the 1.8.5 system afterwards (which doesnāt work, due to the described problems).
Since you linked to adb sideload I can also quickly explain ādue to the described problemsā: No system upgrade currently works for me, because adb sideload works just fine, but the installation afterwards does not any more: The scrollbar fades away after approx. 25% installation process, the Android appears to continue its installation process and tells after some time āFailed.ā - nothing else, and the installation process is aborted by then. A reboot will load the 1.8.5 system as before (as if nothing happened).
For the record, tonight I tried to go back to Cherry 1.6 via the Installer to see if I could install gapps then, but after rebooting Iām still in 1.8.5, or so the Installer says. Iām staying well clear from adb, thatās out of my leagueā¦
For this I needed a lot of time to find all tools and drivers for download. If somebody needs all the files, please contact me with a personal message so I can send you a download-file with all needed drivers and tools.
I used Windows 8 to flash the binaries. After flashing I could install the Google Apps and now Iām installing all my apps and restoring the dataā¦
Please note: I did the manual update before with formatting the phone to get the new storages. After that I couldnāt reinstall the Google Apps.
