Dear Community, Tonight, March 30, 2026, we will start to roll out a software update for the Fairphone 4. This will be a staged rollout, so you may not receive it right away. No matter what software version your FP4 is on at the moment, this update should be available for everyone, including Oran…

Version 15.16.1 just popped up via ja mobil / congstar :tada:

Yesterday, May 1st, the update appeared when searching for it. Installation went smooth, everything fine so far.

Still no sign of this update on EE UK! It’s available on O2 UK as my sister has it already. Very surprised it’s still not available on the UK’s leading network, and a previous Fairphone reseller (so, presumably the UK network with most Fairphone customers). I logged a ticket two weeks ago and got th…

Deactivating O2 and activating Fraenk did not help. Still the boot loop. The green Fairphone Logo appears, transforms into a single line and the phone reboots several times. After several failed attempts, it falls back to Android 13. Now I will try with both SIM cards disabled I really need the …

Sorry, I got confused.:confused: I get only update 15.14.3 offered which always fails. But I understood it in that way, that 15.16.1 is offered independently from what was running as a fix to be able to update to Android 15? I’m not sure if 15.14.3 is the prerequisite to 15.16.1? I thought 15.16…

Try again with the O2 card. Put it in, register, reboot and then search manually for an update.

I just deactivated it via software, rebooted, tried it with Fraenk, deactivated Frank and rebooted again. What I haven’t tried is to physically take the 02 card out. Fraenk is an esim. So I will try to take the 02 card out physically Thanks

O2 is one of the providers which offer updates fast. fraenk uses the network of Telekom or Vodafone, both known to delay updates. That’s why I suggested O2. It is also known that O2 provides the current update 15.16.1 .
