      @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:
