Help! Can't use phone after latest update, can't install new OS manually because PC doesn't recognize phone

I tried to perform the latest OS update, but got an error message, I think it was “Partition for path ‘/system’ not found, Full SELinux support is available”.

@Volker

That’s a normal output line (although it sounds strange) during OTA update.

I read about the possibility to manually install Fairphone OS. The big problem is the fact, that I had to use a workaround to make my computer recognize my Fairphone 2 with Windows 10, I had to switch on the debugging mode to enable it to connect to my computer via Phone Explorer.

Please follow the steps to the letter and tell us where you get stuck, if you get stuck, this doesn’t rely on the phone being fully available to file explorers or sync programs on the computer, it uses fastboot mode, as @urs_lesse already hinted at …
