Hello, I have rooted my FP3 with Magisk and now I cannot update my phone (error during the install). I have seen this Magisk page about updates. Is FP3 an A/B partitions device? How to achieve the updates? Thanks by advance, LeBarde.

[image] TWRP for Fairphone 3 Development Took me a while, but it’s here, first Android-11 based TWRP for FP3 with dynamic partitions and decryption: I’ve also looked into the Magisk-Issue, see here:

Although the following document is for FP4, the OTA update steps should probably also apply for you: [image] CalyxOS (is coming to) is here for FP4! Development Sure, installation works like it always has: Just use the Calyx boot.img from the Factory Images instead. I’ve…

After “fastboot boot Magisk_patched-*.img” all I get is a reboot to the boot.img on the device. Therefore I cannot install Magisk from within Magisk - I’m not getting that far.

@yvmuell Thanks a lot for that hint! Works like a charm & I’m finally an (almost) happy camper again :wink:

Update FP3 with Magisk (rooted)?
