I didn’t try, but someone did. And apparently, it worked

Linage OS 16 installation works like a charm. Thanks for your how to. I just struggeled a little with the gapps / treble wizard. They crashed everytime during the initial setup. After that I booted into TWRP and wiped dalvik cache and DATA.
This confronted me with an error at bootup (device cannot be booted, cause of some troubles with the data partition. The device suggested a factory reset, which I did.
Now it seems like to run like a charm. I will do further investigation.
Best thing about it is, that the notification LEDS seem to work!
Perhaps i get rid of the annoying reboots during I am phoning too (happened to me for about 3 weeks now.)

Hi,
anyone of you made it through the safety net check successfully? I cannot use my banking app etc. now.
So i tried it with Magisk and this one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-6Y3WyxVRo
But if I alter the fingerprint via magisk hideprops config and do a reboot, the FP3 seems like to bootloop at the linage os animation.
I can only get it to boot if I delete the hideprops module folder via TWRP filemanager.
Any tip is very welcome.
Hi - I’ve tried flashing Lineage OS 16 (two versions) and /e/ and haven’t had any success with any of them. TWRP went in OK, but I couldn’t boot into system. After the “It was not possible to check your phone for corruption - please lock the bootloader” load screen with /e/ I then got the logo and bouncing ball. With LOS I just get the FAIRPHONE logo. Waited about 20 minutes with each, nothing happened.
Tried it first by booting into TWRP from the image, then I tried installing TWRP and Magisk to see if that helped, it didn’t.
So next I tried a tutorial I found on HowToGeek:
Result is that I can no longer boot into TWRP, nor can I get slot:success Yes on either slot. I can get into fastboot and I’ve managed to boot into the TWRP image a few times but most of the time the boot command fails (“unknown reason”).
Seems like I bricked it, huh? Anyone got any advice?
Did you really follow the steps mentioned at the beginning of this topic? Did you use a GSI version mentioned there?
There’s no /e/ versión for FP3 yet! So what image did you flash??
You may try to unbrick your device following the topic
Please first read and only act after reading!

Hi - thanks for replying. Yes, I followed the steps at the start of this topic, with the results I described. I didn’t follow that unbricking tutorial because I can get into fastboot, just not recovery / TWRP. I’ll try flashing the stock ROM back.
The /e/ version is one of the GSIs listed on the link at the start of this thread, where it says “here is a list”.
Hey, i tried the flash.sh script step by step:
everything is okay until i get
xxx@xxx /cygdrive/c/adb
$ fastboot flash vendor_a vendor.img
Segmentation fault
xxx@xxx/cygdrive/c/adb
$ fastboot flash system_a system.img
error: cannot load ‘system.img’
I test the rest of it, it’s okay. Could you help me 
? @pigpig
I wonder one thing: is that true thaht we can’t install/flash a custom rom without having the stock rom ? Due to success state of both slots ? Good evening :)))
Please add the -S argument for system and vendor -S 522239K.
A segfault is really weird. Do you use the last version of fastboot? Maybe you should try with a linux live usb

Hi,
I would like to test LOS 16 GIS on Fairphone 3 for daily and stable use. My FP3 arrived almost 2 months ago and still has not been turned on, using the Android stock version is not acceptable for me for privacy reasons.
Reading this post it seems to me that the most stable version is lineage-16.0-20191017-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_bvN.img.xz from sourceforge.net/projects/andyyan-gsi/files/lineage-16.x/
I would like to know if hash files (md5 sums or sha256 or other) are available for these LOS16 GIS versions. No info about on sourceforge.
Thanks!
Sorry, if too off-topic and I know it’s not answering your question. But as you write;;
Are you aware that /e/ OS for FP3 is currently very close to beta testing?

Have you seen the ‘i’ logo in sourceforge? There are sha1 and md5 hashes

Thank you, I didn’t see /e/! I’ll think about what to install.

Hello autra - can you explain exactly how you got around this problem? I got the same thing, tried using Format Data in TWRP, (it didn’t work first time but after I did a Repair on data and a Factory Reset I could then do ‘Format Data’). However in fastboot I still can’t do fastboot -w and it won’t boot into Lineage, it just goes back into recovery.
@richplane after the “format data” I rebooted and everything was working. If it goes back into recovery, it means system is not bootable (probably). I’d try to reflash lineage again.
Btw, if you want me to get notified, don’t forget the @ before my pseudo
I went through the whole process again, got exactly the same results. I wonder if the problem is with the encryption of the userdata partition - when I booted into TWRP the first few times it asked me to unlock the encryption (using the password I set when I booted up the stock OS), but after I flashed the system image (and ran fastboot erase userdata ) it no longer did. Does the FP3 use metadata encryption? That might explain our invalid block sizes wouldn’t it?
Just one short question: Will there be any chance to use a customrom on the FP3 and pass the safetynet-check? (or will it always be that way that -> if custom -> sefetynet-check fail -> some apps won’t work?)
At least it will be the case that even if you somewhen somehow can get this to work, Google can break it at any time again, and most probably will.
If you consider trying this, think about your dependencies on affected Apps beforehand carefully.
This would be in the “Nice to have” category, not in “Reliable solution”.
