🇫🇷 🇬🇧 Installation /e/ sur fairphone 3

[PhilippeLeBel]

Bonjour,
J’espère que mon sujet n’a pas été traité ailleurs, j’ai cherché sans succès :

J’essaie d’installer /e/ sur mon fairphone, mais je bloque toujours au même endroit après plusieurs tentatives :

Je suis sur mac, j’ai bien activé fastboot et adb sur mon ordinateur, j’ai dévérouillé le bootloader et activé le débogage USB de mon appareil.

Je bloque juste à l’installation de /e/ sur le téléphone : j’ai téléchargé le zip sur mon mac (IMG-e-0.17-q-20210621120947-stable-FP3), mais la commande
unzip IMG-e-0.17-q-20210621120947-stable-FP3
ne fonctionne pas. Je peux certes dézipper manuellement, mais après aucune commande ne fonctionne, à partir de celle-ci
fastboot flash system_a system.img -S 522239K
, rien ne marche. Je ne suis pas très à l’aise avec l’utilisation du terminal, merci de vos conseils pour résoudre ces difficultés !
Bien cordialement,

Hello,
I hope that my subject has not been treated elsewhere, I have searched without success:

I try to install /e/ on my fairphone, but I always get stuck in the same place after several attempts:

I’m on mac, I did enable fastboot and adb on my computer, I unlocked the bootloader and enabled USB debugging on my device.

I just get stuck installing /e/ on the phone: I downloaded the zip on my mac (IMG-e-0.17-q-20210621120947-stable-FP3), but the command
unzip IMG-e-0.17-q-20210621120947-stable-FP3
does not work. I can certainly unzip manually, but then no command works, from this one
fastboot flash system_a system.img -S 522239K
nothing works. I am not very comfortable with using the terminal, thank you for your advice to solve these difficulties!
Sincerely,

Welcome to the forum. It is over a year since I carried out this procedure upon my Mac, but no reason to assume that OSX BigSur has introduced complications.
Is IMG-e-0.17-q-20210621120947-stable-FP3.zip currently residing in “Downloads”? You can use default “Archive Utility” to decompress to get IMG-e-0.17-q-20210621120947-stable-FP3, which you have already done to get the eight .img

If I were you as my “Downloads” folder is cluttered, create a new folder on Desktop (ctrl key + mouse click) and name it FP3 or whatever. Drag IMG-e-0.17-q-20210621120947-stable-FP3 from “Downloads” to your newly created folder.

Open Terminal upon Mac then type cd / and drag newly created folder with mouse into terminal window, it then shows path to folder so in my case:
iMac-2:~ adrian$ cd //Users/adrian/Desktop/MobilePhones/FP3eOS
iMac-2:FP3eOS adrian$

Can’t remember whether you should be “sudo” with # instead of $ at the moment.

I am guessing that you didn’t point to IMG-e-0.17-q-20210621120947-stable-FP3 in “Terminal”, but forgive me if assumption is incorrect, Presumably fastboot and adb were installed via “Homebrew” upon your Mac?

[PhilippeLeBel]

Thanks for the quick answer. Yes I installed adb and fasboot via homebrew, and the fastboot and adb devices commands point to my FP3. But it’s the next step that doesn’t work…

I understood that I had to point in the terminal to the folder that contains my unzipped file.

Then, I put my phone in fastboot mode, I make the command lines but it blocks again from the second fastboot flash system_a system.img -S 522239K
This is what my terminal displays.

If you have an idea of what can block…

[AnotherElk]

The terminal says it can’t find the file system.img.
If you are sure the file is in the folder you are operating in with the terminal, try ./system.img instead of system.img, this should force the terminal to get the file from the current folder.

[PhilippeLeBel]

Parfait ça a marché ! Merci beaucoup pour la réactivité des réponses !

Glad that issue now sorted for you and for the record “sudo” is not needed by the way:

Bonjour,
Je tente également d’installer /e/ sur mon fairphone, cependant je ne peux obtenir mon code de déverouillage sur la plateforme : Bootloader Unlocking Code for Fairphone 3 - Fairphone
En effet, en renseignant les bons numéros IMEI & de série, j’obtiens un message d’erreur me disant que l’un ou l’autre sont faux, or ce n’est pas le cas…
Avez-vous déjà été confronté à ce cas ? Comment puis-je malgré tout obtenir ce code pour procéder à l’installation /e/ ?

Merci d’avance pour vos retours,
