I received a new Fairphone 3 yesterday and after charging it fully I updated to Android 10. Then I wanted to install /e/ so I began with the process of unlocking the bootloader. However I can not get the phone to verify the unlock code.
Steps:
Go to FP3 'verify code' generator to get a verification code for the IMEI and serial because the official site gives me an error.
Go to Unlock OEM in Dev Options, enter PIN, enter above code and wait.
Nothing happens
logcat says that the request is being made, then it takes a couple of minutes for a response, and the response is most of the times a 503, there’s been also a 500 at some point.
I’ve contacted support but is this just something on their server side or am I doing something wrong?
I’ll not be of much help as I’m yet to try but, you mean you updated A!0 to the latest version as FP3 comes with Android 10. Could you confirm that you actually updated the Android 10 with the latest security patch 0107 dated June 5th.
Not sure about that link I can type 1234512345123345 and 12345123451 and I get a code ??
There’s a post about clearing cache, I’ll look for it
You are right, it was just the latest patch update, not Android 10.
As for the code, if I go to Bootloader Unlocking Code for Fairphone 3 - Fairphone and enter the IMEI and Serial, the page doesn’t respond for a while, and then I get an error. If you are referring to browser cache, then it is definitely not the issue, since I’ve tried clearing the cache, using another browser and even trying from different networks.
I had the exact same issue.
When I tried to get the unlock code from the official page, the browser send a request to the server that got stuck.
I even try the request from another location, via the curl command:
