Hi there !
Thanks for all the work which have made rooting a fairphone 3 possible ! <3
I’ve just rooted my phone. So I can’t do the fairphone update instead of using twrp ? And that will wipe my user data, no ? So I must do a user-data backup ? Is there an easy way to do this ?
And, is there anywhere the A.0111 stock rom ?
edit : In fact, I’ve just rooted my phone but 'cause i got problems, i had to flash back (with fastboot) to A.105. And now I can’t do the update to the A.111. Is this normal ?
You can’t do any OTA update if any of your partition is modified. (Mounting system r/w is enough). There is some tricks to do updates with magisk. You can also do the updates manually.
The system images you link is working with the flash.sh script.
Doing this will wipe all my user data.
My question is : is it possible to backup only the user-data with twrp ? (including contacts, msgs, and applications : maybe contacts and msgs are just contents of application ?) In order to be able ot backup-flash-restore in order to update my system ?
Thanks for your help (and sorry if my questions are newbie-like) !
Yes, these images work with flash.sh (and fastboot ).
It shouldn’t wipe your user data (I’ve done it without any problem). But you should do a backup if there is something going wrong :
TWRP > BACKUP > userdata; then adb pull /sdcard.
To restore, you’ll do adb push sdcard /sdcard then TWRP > RESTORE > Your_backup)
Yes, I wrote that you might need to flash both slots and wipe the userdata. That’s in case you want to flash back to stock. To do the update, flash only one slot and don’t wipe userdata
Oh. Ok. I flash only one boot slot and I boot on this after ?
And for backup, the by-default behaviour of twrp backup is “data” and “boot” back up. Should I leave so (for any reason I wouldn’t udnerstand), or just select data is enough ?
(thanks for all your answers pigpig, after my problems for rooting my phone, i’ve lost hope for controlling my phone, and now I power up thanks to you )
I’ve just successed update and no user data were during this ! Thanks to you for all ! A last question : how to get a terminal with root access with a rooted phone ?
You can use a terminal emulator like termux, or use adb. You should use the magisk app manager to control su.
Actually, If you want to get rid of gapps, I suggest you to use a custom ROM (e.g. LOS 16 or Arrow OS) using the GSI, at least for the moment . An official release of /e/ will come soon for the FP3 (and I guess LOS too). If you want to stay on the stock ROM, there is another thread listing the app to disable (or to remove, but be careful )
I have the magisk app, and I know termux (but I didn’t know that it could be use with root :3).
I didn’t find anymore the post on which users were listing the gapps they have removed, would you have the link to ? >.<" researches on the forum gives nothing
edit : i wait for /e/, but due to the problems I’ve encountered, I’ll wait a bit before rehaving funny with my phone (thanks again for all your answers and kindness !)
Using a GSI will be a way easier and less buggy than disabling everything (I tried, dialer app was buggy, you have to use a PIN and not a password to unlock the phone etc.)
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.)

, so it would be arm64-ab !
