Update Fairphone OS automatically, isn't it possible?

[davidcadi]

Hi all:

I have a question related how I can update my fairphone OS. Is it necessary to use TeamWin Recovery Project Software? When I go to Update App, and I download the new package and restart, the phone opens automatically this software and I do not know that I have to make to finish the update.
I’ve looked for in the forum, but I’m only find posts related how update OS manually. Isn’t it possible to do it automatically? Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

David

If all goes right, the phone should just return automatically to Fairphone OS after completing the update in TWRP. However, with today’s update, TWRP will be removed and replaced by the AOSP recovery anyway. So future updates will not use and display the “extra route” through TWRP anymore.

Like @urs_lesse says this normally shouldn’t happen, but when it happens …

Accidentally entered TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) and no idea what to do

Had exactly the same issue, thanks for your solution. If someone have the same issue TWRP -> Install -> cache -> FP2 update zip file -> install

A little more detail in between …

@AnotherElk

“Install” in TWRP’s main menu, then navigate to /cache by tapping “(Up A Level)” and “cache”, and hope fp_update_gms_whatever.zip is still there to select.

Thank you for your answer. I’ve tried to install but I’ve got an error, as you can see in the image. Any idea? Thanks in advance.

Sorry, but this looks like you really need to install manually.
If you want to get rid of that, I would suggest an install from scratch …
