TWRP for Fairphone 3

[AnotherElk]

Unless Fairphone/Arima releases a signed firehose-programmer.
That would basically make it unbrickable through software

@k4y0z

Yes, some vendors like Xiaomi apparently release it.
I suppose if enough of you ask the support for it, maybe they’ll come forward

@lorahaspels: Could Fairphone please explore the possibility of releasing a signed firehose-programmer for the Fairphone 3?

“Unbrickable through software” sounds like at least the Fairphone support department could be in favour now that the custom ROM genie is out of the bottle … Edit: and people apparently brick their phones by flashing Fairphone Open OS for the Fairphone 2 to it … German example, French example.

@pigpig

This would be a software “repair yourself” tool. I think it is in their advantage to give it. But this is probably in Arima’s hands. Which will make it harder to get, such like the flashable image they wanted to provide

@lorahaspels: While we’re at it … Is there an ETA for the OS image Fairphone wanted to release? …

“We are working towards making available: a flashable image for download and manual flash”
