Juhuu, that worked already… afterwards I entered TWRP I installed the LOS-update right away, but what is the problem? Is it a known issue? Do I need to change something?
It is a known issue, that with the new camera module installed, you can’t boot to recovery from within Android. Workaround is to press Vol + until it (hopefully soon) get’s fixed.
I don’t have the new camera module and I have the same issue.
For me, the hint of @Ingo has worked out to boot without camera. I could go to recovery in whatever way I liked. But in contrary to @brab using the old camera module it works as well.
Are you sure? If you got a brand new Fairphone 2 in October 2017 …
… you should have the new camera …
Did you install an old one afterwards?
The new module most notably has a white “separator” between the lens and the flash, the old module didn’t have that … here’s a picture of the two modules.
You’re right, I do have a new module and I did not even know it (I thought it was upgrade only). Sorry for the confusion.
Hi, FP-Community.
Sry if i do a re-post or asking a question already solved, but i have a problem with twrp 3.2.3.0 an LineageOS 15.1 (Build 20181022).
I have installed twrp 3.2.3.0 and LOS 15.1 today and encrypted my FP2 in LOS. I can reboot or shutdown/start my FP2 and enter my encryption key. Normal boot, normal function and login in LOS. So far so good.
But when i want to boot into twrp-recovery (manual or enhanced restart-menu in LOS) i can not enter the encryption key. This error appears:
Updating partition details…
…done
Unable to mount storage
Full SELinux support is present.
Failed to decrypt data.
Im sure, i
ve typed the correct code, the key works by starting into LOS.
Does anyone have a solution for this situation or more information…?

That’s an issue with TWRP, see https://github.com/omnirom/android_bootable_recovery/issues/224
If you want a fix now, install one of Fairphone’s OSes (Android 6 currently), set a lock screen pin/password/pattern, then encrypt the phone, then install TWRP 3.2.3-0 and wipe everything (only wipe, no format!), then install LineageOS 15.1 . That way TWRP can still access the encrypted data partition, and LineageOS 15.1 is fine with it, too.
I installed LineageOS 15.1 for microG on prior encryption myself, works like intended.
Thanks AnotherElk, seems to be a little tricky for me…
I have tested de update to the lastest LOS-Build (20181029) with encrypted phone and all worked perfectly. So its only the access to the encrypted partition in twrp, that doesn`t work. And i will need this access only, if i have a problem with my phone/LOS, to wipe, format or something…
By the way, the same twrp works perfectly on my samsung s7 (also encripted). Seems to be only a problem of a few twrp-recoverys / phones, including the fairphone 2…
I will wait for a (hopefully fast) solution/update of twrp.
Hey.
Will this help us to decrypt our FP2 in TWRP?
I tought the neccassary changes are discribet in the yesterdays post from github user kumajaya
But to be honest: I have no idea how to figure this out.
If i made an unusefull post: Sorry.
I’m no developer either … so, perhaps you really have found something here.
I only saw at first glance that the fix seemed to be for bacon (= OnePlus One), and since fixes for several devices exist already and didn’t translate over to the Fairphone 2 as per the statement of @z3ntu (the maintainer of Fairphone 2 TWRP) in the other topic, I thought I’d link to his statement here, too.
