Stuck with new Fairphone 3

Help Fairphone 3

Well, I think you need to clarify: What do you want to achieve? Do you want to install an alternative operating system like /e/OS or do you just want the operating system to “return to normal”?

Have you pressed the power button when the phone is in the state that the photo shows? That should usually take you back to the standard operating system.

Alternatively, pressing the VOLUME button will give you more options in the big (now: green) line at the top.

That plus what has your son done so far? I see the device state is “unlocked” which is not something that happens by accident.

Thank you all for that fast respond.

I want to set the phone in the original state.

A friend of my son has tried to install /e/ I think. But without succsess.

That’s where @Ingo’s question matters decisively:
What exactly was done so far?

Installing /e/ should still be possible with the bootloader already unlocked and the displayed willingness to use the command line :slight_smile: .

Install instructions for /e/ are here … Install /e/OS on a Fairphone FP3/3+ - “FP3”.

If you want to try, make sure you use adb and fastboot from the current Android SDK Platform Tools, that’s a bit hidden in the instructions and not doing that can lead to some frustration with certain Linux distributions currently.

We can help if there are questions.
A few of us here are running /e/ already (because).

Thank you very much.

I don’t know what was done so far.

I can switch between

  • restart bootloader
  • recovery mode
  • power off
  • start

with the volume down button.

But it ends always in the same state (see picture)

I wish to set the FP in the original state, and don’t know how.

On the FP thre is no command line

Ok, starting in Fastboot Mode …

  • Use the volume keys to select “Recovery mode” and press power to proceed.
  • Recovery mode should start with a picture of an Android with an opened hatch and with the text “No Command”.
  • In the menu there has to be a “factory reset” somewhere, that should be worth a try (even if it doesn’t do what the name implies, it just deletes Apps and user data, but sometimes it’s enough to get things going).

No, that would be on the computer.
We will need that if the factory reset proves to be not enough.

Which OS do you use on the computer … Windows/Linux/macOS?

Recovery mode doen’t work

10

I use Windows 10, have a command line and can run adb. But adb doesn’t see my FP

11

Ok.

ADB only works when Android is booted, or with a very limited feature set in recovery mode. But ADB wouldn’t be of help now anyway.

With the phone in Fastboot Mode and connected to the computer you can use the fastboot command … fastboot devices should see the phone.

The Fairphone 3 is a so-called A/B device.
It has 2 “slots” (A and B) it can boot an OS from, but there’s still only one place for user data, so it’s not a complete dual-boot solution.
A/B is primarily there for updating the OS in the background (on the other slot which is not being used) while you can still use the phone and then just reboot into a completely updated OS (by just switching to the updated slot on reboot).
That being said …

What does the phone do after that?

Back in Fastboot Mode? Then …

fastboot --set-active=b
fastboot reboot

same with b

I have a backup dir:

backup

Can I put this an a sd-card in FP and do a recover?

When your phone is showing the screen like the picture you post, press volume key to select Power and then press the power button.
If you are lucky you get into to a page where you can choose:

restart bootloader
recovery mode
power off
start

Have a look at the right top end of the screen, there you can reboot your phone normally.

Hopefully this works on your phone to.

You can try. This looks like a TWRP backup. TWRP is a custom recovery program.

I have tried to restore a complete TWRP backup two times on my Fairphone 3, unsuccessfully, both times ending in a bootloop. Just to manage expectations, I myself obviously don’t know how to do that so that it works afterwards :slight_smile: .

TWRP will look for backups to restore in the following directory structure either in Internal Storage (which isn’t an option in this case here) or on an SD card in the phone (includes the serial number of the phone you got with fastboot devices):

  • TWRP
    • BACKUPS
      • A209HLH80202
        • (some directory name TWRP puts together automatically, shouldn’t be too important if you have to make one up)
          • here are all these files

If you have this structure already, just copy it to the SD card as it is.

Download the TWRP image to your computer from TWRP for Fairphone 3.

With the phone in Fastboot Mode
fastboot boot twrp-whatever-else-is-in-the-filename.img

TWRP starting the first time (or not being able to access the data partition) will ask whether to keep the system partition read-only or to allow modifications … keeping it read-only is the safe choice, this doesn’t hamper restoring.

From the TWRP main menu:
Restore - Select Storage (select Micro SD Card) - select the backup to restore - select the partitions to restore - Swipe to restore

(Can’t have a look right now, I hope that’s about right from memory.)

When the restore is done, reboot.

In case the restored state of the phone doesn’t boot, here’s another shot at it …

Hello AnotherElk,
thank you.

Can you tell me how to build a partition table?
