🇳🇱 Help with installing e/OS/

Hoi allemaal,

Ik ben op zoek naar iemand in of rondom Helmond die mij kan helpen met het installeren van /e/OS op mijn FairPhone 6. Ik heb zelf al wat onderzoek gedaan, maar ik voel me niet helemaal zeker genoeg om het alleen te doen. Het zou fijn zijn als iemand met ervaring me kan begeleiden of zelfs even kan helpen met de installatie.

Als je ervaring hebt met /e/OS, FairPhone, of gewoon handig bent met Android-ROMs, zou ik het super waarderen!

Hi, I’ve found this video online of an installation of e/os, though on a pixel phone. I think it would be the same more or less with a fairphone. Of course you first have to request a code at fairphone to unlock it (via the fairphone website) with you IMEI and device Serial Number.

Here is the video:

I’ve installed a few OS’s on old phones, though the last 2 OS’s were with the provided installer ^^ the first ones were with manually flashing all partitions… a bit of a pain but a lot of learning :slight_smile: .
I am a bit far from Helmond though (Utrecht), but I could help you via video call or else? Or we can plan a visit.

on a different topic, someone shared this link. Maybe we could organized that type of event in the Netherlands?

the very good video you share covers most supported devices,

an Unified Install Guide Project for /e/
For all devices that have

  • a "e-xxxxxxxxxxx.zip" file on their download page.

and

  • a "recovery-e-xxxxxxxxxx.img" file on their download page.
    or a "recovery-IMG-e-xxxxxxxxxx.zip" file on their download page.

BUT not Fairphone devices that benefit of a simplified process :

for other devices that have :

  • only a "IMG-e-xxxxxxxxxxx.zip" file on their download page,

Hey ArthurA.

It seems that I’m already stuck with the ADB fastboot on my Windows Device, since prompt checking adb devices doesn’t show the FairPhone as a debuggable device.

Since you got experience with installing ROMS, what would it take for you to help me with it in person?

Kind regards

I am available this weekend, starting Friday ^^ Let’s check availability by messaging
