Need some help with LineageOS

Help Fairphone 4
1

Ok FF,
I bought a new F4, in november ans am getting ready to transfer to it,BUT, I have one huge problem, I cannot figure out how to install LineageOS as I fear I do not know enough, actually I just enough to be a danger to myself AND my phone.

I am looking for someone who I can send the phone to to have L-OS installed, this phone and the headphones cost me the equivalent of 75% of my rent, so I do not want to risk bricking the damn thing.

Is there anyone out there who can help?

best greetings from Bornholm, Danmark.

LineageOS has an installation guide on their site. You should follow that

I know, I have seen it, the problem is that I do not trust myself or my skills. This phone has cost me too much money to risk it.

Ergo, my appeal for assistance.

Welcome to the community forum.

If you happen to have Fairphone Angels in your vicinity (community volunteers offering to help in their spare time, see angelsmap), you could ask whether they would perhaps be able to help with this.

Fair enough, your best bet would be finding a fairphone angel near you but… on the map for it I could not find anyone near you.

I have 2 other ideas for this. 1. you could get someone to help you with this trough a video call

or 2. your idea of mailing to someone trust worthy. I guess you should choose an angel of your choice and contanct them about the possibility of this.

Maybe there is some kind of local maker space, repair cafe, privacy lab etc. who offer an install service/assistance.
Here in Germany I know of Topio for example who do such a thing in Berlin. Haven’t checked if similar projects exist in other places.
