Last manual install A.0084 broke my fairphone

Help Fairphone 3

In this case, it shouldn’t be hard even with a small team, after all users (each a team of 1 person) simply using the file as intended found out it’s bad without too much trouble.

But we’re all just human.
Hopefully the process gets improved, so that the same thing can’t happen again.

Thanks to all of your fast responses my issue is solved.

The linked Unlock steps worked like a charm, managed to flash the new A.0084 (ending with _r2), bootup and everything.
Couple of notes:

  • This time the installer did not lock the bootloader itself, not sure if this is intentional or not.
  • During setup WiFi connected, but stated there was no internet. After skipping some of the setup steps connected again manually from the settings menu and I have internet access (same network).

All this tipps function not, unlock and Reset, is all incomptent nonsens, see here my new Video: Fairphone 3 after flashing Firmware A 0084 no unlock Bootloader - YouTube

Who said to run a fastboot command with the phone awaiting a package to install via ADB Sideload? This doesn’t work to the surprise of no one.

The alternative unlocking procedure seems to have worked for @ValentinBG,
perhaps you should try it.

Else … since Fairphone released a defunct install file causing this issue, you could contact Fairphone support to get your issue fixed.

Your first post on 20th seems to say you had a problem manually installing A10 0084. Did your network not provide an automatic update maybe because it wasn’t ready.

The you go on to say you couldn’t get past that and do a reinstall of an earlier version under apparently you apparently succeeded and install A9 but as you haven’t tried A10, only failed to install it, maybe inappropriately, how can you say it’s buggy when you haven’t tried it.

And do you mean “I have unlock the Fairphone”

Yes

I have tested the Adroid 10, is not good. I make only Manual installation, after installing the A10 0084 the Fairphone hangs on the bootlogo. I have no Internet on the Phone, no WLAN, i wil not this. The cost per Megabyte on the Phone is to high, i make wit an Widows 7 inernet Computer. The best Versions of Software is the latest from 9, an new Version, is normaly buggy, im not a betatester, i wil use the Phone without probleme.
