        I also ran into the installation hanging after clicking "Install," even with the latest version (0.1.21-beta AppImage) of the installer. I discovered the problem, in this case at least, concerned the installer's handling of adb and fastboot. The system is intended to operate whether they are installed or not. I had adb installed, but not fastboot. Unfortunately, the fallback appears to have failed because the "platform-tools" subdirectory tree it depends on (see src/utils.js:getFallbackPlatformTools) is missing. However, once I installed fastboot, the installation did not need to fall back and it worked just fine.

          @advocatux Thanks! Migration is done, my phone is working perfectly, I migrated from AppImage installer a fantastic tool, I have all my data as it was before, many thanks to the team for their work, the installer and the OS are excellent!

              Unfortunately, I can't update my Fairphone 2. I have tried the update on three different systems:

              1. macOS

              The installer app asks in an infinite loop for the password. I have reproduced this error with a PIN and a password.

              macOS screenshot

              The first install didn't work either. It's a usb-c driver issue, I think.

              1. Neon

              I managed the first installation in Neon. The installer couldn't update the device with the following error:

              Neon screenshot

              I also couldn't install the recent installer. Therefore I removed the files for the installer at /opt/ and /usr/share/applications with sudo. Then I tried the installation again, but nothing happens after entering the password.

              1. Windows 10

              The installation app sais, that I have to reboot in bootloader but afterwards nothing happens. This application doesn't ask for a passwird.

              Very frustrating user experience with UBPorts update!!

              I have added some screenshots, but unfortunately they are not schon in the forum with the suggested syntax:

                @marc_aurel You may want to check the method described above with system-image-cli - it is done from the phone terminal or from a computer logged into the phone via adb or ssh.

                  @mihael This requires a setup for ssh, doesn't it?

                  It this instruction up to date? I'm not sure because of the path with the directory "phablet". I wouldn't call a FF2 a phablet.

                    @marc_aurel I don't remember if I did it this way but just connect a usb cable and then adb shell and you are inside the phone from the computer. Or just type that command for the updatr within the phone terminal app - you don't even need a computer, just the phone connected to internet.

                      @mihael Thanks, this works now.

                      Unfortunately the settings of the new UBports still doesn't offer custom text size. This is a problem for visual impaired people. Has someone an idea, whether whis is on the roadmap?

                      Dekko is not working any more. Has someone a recommendation for an email app?

                          @marc_aurel BTW the password is the one of your PC, not the phone...

                            Hi all, short question:

                            if I manually upgrade to OTA-4 following the described steps, will I lose my data and apps or will they remain intact on the device after the update? Thanks.

                              @gt you'll keep all your data as long as you don't check the wipe option.

                              Anyhow, if your data is important for you, you should make a backup

                                @gt The apps that were not updated to 16.04 might( most likely) not work, data should stays intact.

                                  Hello,

                                  I tried to install 16.04 stable on FP2, with the method described above, but it failed. I did two attempt, both failed.
                                  I have currently 15.04rc22 and I did what is described in this post:
                                  [HowTo] [FP2] Update baseband & other firmware. Could it be the reason why it fail? or any idea?
                                  In fact I see that it seems to be a known or similar bug described in ubports installer issues. But not clear if there is a workaround or not?

                                  The installer I used is ubports-installer_0.1.21-beta_amd64.deb (running in Kubuntu 18.04).

                                  It starts correctly but then I have these screen:
                                  0_1536526896548_Screenshot_20180909_224708.png

                                  Then I close the installer. I have to remove the battery to restart the phone and it starts again with the 15.04rc22 (ouf!).
                                  I have one change: the screen at the boot is new (Fairphone powered by UBports and no more android).

                                  Here is the full log:
