Hello at all,
I’m from Germany and try my best in English.
Since 2 month I’m a proud owner of a FP2. I bought it second hand from eBay.
Saturday, I updated my FP with the Fairphone Updater App to the current OS. After the update, the phone “optimize all the apps”. And after that, he did the same. Over and over again. I hung in a boot loop.
I restored to the factory setting with TWRP. The reset works without problems but the PlayStore was still there. I installed the PlayStore for some weeks manually from the Open GApps Project.
But now I wanted a Fairphone without Google Services. I decided to reinstall the FP Open OS. After the download was finished, I open the ZIP-File with the Fairphone Updater App. The app made some checks and what ever and restarts the phone. The phone goes now in the TWRP main menu. The last time I installed the FP Open OS, it goes in an “installation window”, but not in the TWRP main menu. I pressed the reboot button, the phone turned off (screen was black) and then… Nothing…
Now I’m no longer able to get any life into the phone. The display stays black, the led is not lit anymore. I tried the following things:
Enter the recovery menu (Volume up and power)
Enter the fast boot menu (Volume down and power)
But neither my Mac not my Linux computer recognize any usb device (syslog, dmesg etc.). In addition, fastboot and adb showed no devices
Finally I removed the accu and plugged in again, hold the volume down button and plugged in the usb cable. Now my Linux computer notes something:
$ dmesg
[23625.339989] usb 1-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 13 using ehci-pci
[23625.446479] usb 1-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=05c6, idProduct=f006
[23625.446488] usb 1-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0
[23625.459685] hid-generic 0003:05C6:F006.000D: hiddev0,hidraw3: USB HID v1.11 Device [HID 05c6:f006] on usb-0000:00:1a.0-1.2/input0
My guess is now the following:
On my phone is nothing more - no bootloader, no kernel, nothing at all. I don’t know how I did it…
I googled around and found an article that described how to restore Fairphone if you totally bricked it. But the article is for a Fairphone 1.
The author used a program called “SP Flash Tool”. For this program you need a “scatter-loading” file, but this I can’t find.
Here is the link:

Can anybody help me here?
Excuse my grammar.
