Hi,
I called it a preview, but is was indeed a developer version from XDA forum, which was granted so that the development team could get early feedback. Sorry for the confusion 
The developer version needs to be installed through recovery mode of the phone, so waiting for a streamlined OTA update is probably better from this moment on I guess as it will follow very soon.
Now the update is being displayed, but “install new version” is not starting anything. There’s just flashing something in the Manu bar and the screen remains unchanged. Do we still have to wait until the data is actually available OTA?
The update should now be available over-the-air (Wi-Fi). It sounds silly but can you tap “Install new version” a few times? Keep tapping… does it work? Sometimes the easy fix is restarting your phone, too.
@Stephan, can you confirm if you have FP1 or FP1U?
Hi there!
I tried to install 1.6 Cherry for the second time. After the restard I am still prompted to install the Update?!
The Updater still shows 1.5 and not 1.6 even though I did not get any error notice.
Best regards

Hi guys,
I needed to install the update twice (maybe because of the Xposed/Xpiracy framework I use) but succeeded eventually.
I have a addition to the guide @ https://fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201295267-How-to-re-install-the-App-Store .
When you add the google apps widget to for instance Nova Launcher, you won’t be able to reinstall it after the upgrade to Cherry 1.5.
You need to be in the default launcher to be able to use the widget, to do this:
Hope this helps some of you.
Cheers!
Tapped two times. Now it’s installing.
Cheers!
Update:
1.6 now installed - after downloading from database ant NOT via updater prompt.
Best regards

After rebooting the phone all worked. I’m back with 1.6/1.4 
@anon90052001 I have a first Edition FP, if this is what you wanted to know…
Okay - Update worked. AOSP keyboard crashed permanently until Google Apps were installed.
Now I’m trying to find a way to partitionize my phone - Can someone please help me out?
Cheers!
EDIT: Ok, found it myself: https://fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200887199-How-do-I-upgrade-to-the-unified-storage-partition-for-first-edition-Fairphone-owners-
Hi,
That’s correct, the AOSP keyboard will work again after the App store in reinstalled.
To create a unified partition, please read our support article on the support article: https://fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/200887199-How-do-I-upgrade-to-the-unified-storage-partition-for-first-edition-Fairphone-owners-
Cheers
edit: good you found it already
Hi all,
We recommend you install the new update through the Fairphone Updater app. If you are having problems getting the download to start, make sure you have at least 250 MB of free internal storage, and tap the Install button many times in a row. You can also try the steps described in here: https://fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201860198-I-see-no-software-update-sent-to-my-Fairphone-What-can-I-do-
If it for some reason still doesn’t work, you can install the update manually. Read here how to do this: https://fairphone.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202478028-Manually-install-Fairphone-OS-software-update-version-Cherry-1-6

Hi there fellow FP-users.
I had some trouble installing the new Fairphone update. I thought I might share my story, for people who encounter the same problem.
After opening the “Fairphone Updater”-application, it did tell me there was a new update. However, I tapped the button “Download Update” a dozen times and nothing happend. Eventually - after restarting my phone twice and mashing the button some more- , it actually started downloading. After downloading it said “Reboot to install” (or something similar).
At this point, I thought everything was fine. During the reboot this appeared on my screen.
That didn’t look so well. However, after taking out my battery and rebooting and re-trying the update, the problem still existed.
I did find a workaround. When the “No command”-screen shows up (to which I linked earlier) press the “Power” button on top once. You’ll get a screen with options. Press volume down until you have highlighted “Update from SD”. Confirm with volume up/ (Be careful: you can not use “Volume up” to navigate through the menu.).
After this, scroll down (again, with volume down) to “/Updater”. Confirm with “Volume up”. When you’re in this menu, you should see a .ZIP-file named something like “fairphone-update-1.4.zip”. Highlight this and, once again, confirm with “Volume up”.
When this is done, you should return to the ‘main menu’. Here you must select te first option from the menu (“reboot now”) and confirm with “volume up”. Now, your phone should restart and the update will be completed.
I don’t really know why this happend, but I’m glad I did find a workaround. If anyone encounters a similar problem, please let me know.
If anyone can explain why this did happen, I would be very grateful as well.
Kind regards,
Robin
EDIT: I’m currently unable to press anything in the new Fairphone Updater-app. So I can’t upgrade to the unified storage partition.
EDIT 2: After force quitting the Fairphone Updater-app and clearling all data, I was able to upgrade to the unified storage partition. Luckily, it all ends well .
Hi @Robin,
What method did you use to back up your device? We’ll pass on your feedback to our developers.
Hi @joe
At first I updated the “Fairphone Updater”-app. Then I updated with the default “Backup & Restore”-app. Afterwards, I opened the new “Fairphone Updater”-app (with the fancy new layout, which I like a lot!) and updated to Cherry 1.6 (maybe I did this twice, not sure). And at last, I ran the storage updater.
Kind regards
I got that “no command” icon while I was trying to fit my case the other day. 
I did like you did: removed the battery then put it back.
Hopefully I won’t have any issue with the update.
@ZoidbergForPresident The “no command” screen is the recovery mode. In recovery mode you can press the power button to get a menu where you should be able to select to reboot the device - that saves you even taking the battery out.
You enter recovery mode when you press the power on with the volume up button also depressed - which is probably what happened when you tried to get your phone fitted in its case. Certainly nothing to panic you 
Installing the update and GApps worked flawlessly here.
Going to try to do the partition thingy in a moment.
Just to be sure: the App store is the same as Google Play, de standard Android repository, right? I used to calling programs programs and repositories repositories. Please, let me know if I am missing something that is fundamentally different from these old terms.
Isn’t this a problem for users who do not wish to enable the Google App store? Is there another way to repair the AOSP keyboard?
Note that there are good reasons not to use the Google App Store: it is full of non-free software. An alternative is the software repository F-Droid.
Hi Fairphoners,
do you know anything about huge display-problems after updating? I updated this afternoon, and since then my display goes mad. Restart sometimes helps for a few minutes, but than it starts again. Am I the only one with this problem? Do you have any explanation?
Thanks and best regards
Isabelle
