Resetting FP2 WiFi

[Peter_Giesen]

Hi everyone. Since I installed a new wifi modem my FP2 will no longer connect to the home WiFi. It does connect to other home Wifi. Resetting (incl. factory settings) the phone is also no longer working (keeps going around in circles). Normal remedies such as removing battery and sim dont work either. Time for a new phone or is there a fix?

Did you try doing the dic:factorydatareset from the recovery mode, as if your phone wasn’t starting anymore?
Did you try reinstalling FPOS from scratch?

Updates could go wrong, upgrades could go wrong, own experiments could go wrong, any given thing could go wrong … and the Fairphone 2 doesn’t boot anymore, doesn’t update anymore, doesn’t do any given important thing anymore. Updates können schief gehen, Upgrades können schief gehen, eigene Experimente können schief gehen, irgendetwas anderes kann schief gehen … und das Fairphone 2 bootet nicht mehr, updatet sich nicht mehr, oder tut irgendetwas anderes wichtiges nicht mehr. If even a factory …

Hi, does your FP2 run Android 9 already? There is a known issue with Speedport routers and Android 9 devices that do not connect, it should be solved with the latest Speedport firmware.
