A post was merged into an existing topic: Random reboots After android 13 update

This update made it impossible to record with apps like @voice Aloud Reader, the apps is killed instantly. It was working fine before the update.

Exactly the Same in my FP4. that finally after nearly 1,5 years of issues Made me Turn away from Fairphone.

if you have rooted your FP4 with Magisk, this @hirnsushi solution works very well for me.

Thanks. I managed to install C.079, but I cannot get root access. I tried to regenerate a magisk_patched-26400_RuK60.img and flash it, but it does not work. Actually I used the same boot.img from the official which is C.073. I assume the patch should be done with a newer version ?

Edit: instead of flashing explicitely boot_a, I just did:

# fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-26400_RuK60.img 
Sending 'boot_b' (98304 KB)                        OKAY [  2.353s]
Writing 'boot_b'                                   OKAY [  0.246s]
Finished. Total time: 2.611s

It is now OK: I have root access and C.079. :slight_smile:

Wifi is no longer working (cannot activate it)…

Did you flash an older boot.img by any chance, seems like it. That will cause connectivity problems among other things.

I generally wouldn’t recommend flashing it directly, you lose your easy fallback that way, just fastboot boot it next time and install Magisk through the app.

You need to either get a stock C.079 boot.img, flash that and go the fastboot boot route, or flash a patched C.079 image to get your system properly working again.

68

Exactly, I used C073 boot.img. Where Can I find a stock C079 img ?

69

You’ll have to either wait for FP to update the kernel page / factory images (who knows when that might happen :roll_eyes:), or get it from someone else. @Lars_Hennig should have one, it’s only ~ 100 MB, you’ll find a way to share it.
(The third option would be to create updated factory images yourself, but no one has posted a link to the ota.zip, so let’s not get into that)

I usually have one lying around but not this time, sorry.

I probably have both, C.079 stock and magisk_patched laying around, in case you still need it.

75

Thanks. Lars_Hennig hats put it here https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/qo2vgkseaeudu3utskkyg/h?rlkey=dp8lkb6lg7f2n4imjea9fofea&dl=0

76

By the way, should one want to revert to C.073, if not satisfied with C.079, without loosing its personal data, what would be the procedure ?

77

For me that is ok, it’s Marc’s dropbox :wink:

Ok so I misunderstood and thought its yours…:upside_down_face: removed the post back to prev version incl. the link
