Hi, I recently got a Fairphone 5 and wanted to install e/os on it. I had thought I could do it through the easy installer but found out after buying that wasn’t an option yet. Anyway, I wasn’t too put off and read the instructions carefully and then tried to step through them.
Long story short, the installation didn’t work. It’s stuck in the bootloader menu (it gives me the four options start, restart bootloader, recovery mode, power off, but choosing any only loops it back to this screen). It will still recognise fastboot commands, so for now I’ve been trying to set it back to Fairphone OS. I’ve downloaded the latest image from here: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/18896094650513-Install-Fairphone-OS-manually - Version: FP5.UT2E.B.078
I’m having no luck with this either though, it starts ok but always hangs at the same point (Sending ‘modem_a’ ) and wont go any further:
$ ./flash_fp5_factory.sh

I have contacted Fairphone support but haven’t heard anything back yet. I wondered if anyone here had any good ideas to try in the meantime?
Thanks
