Fairphone 5 bricked while attempting to install Ubuntu Touch
-
Greetings UBports Community,
While attempting to install Ubuntu Touch my Fairphone 5 was not responding to the bootloader being unlocked so I thought that locking it and then unlocking it would resolve the issue.
Upon reboot the phone said that the bootloader was not trusted and proceeded to become stuck in fastboot with no access to recovery.
I attempted to use…
fastboot flashing unlock
fastboot flashing unlock_critical
fastboot oem unlockto no avail.
Currently I have reached out to Fairphone Support and am hoping to hear back to if they can help me with this issue.
Hope that people will some how avoid this in the future.

If it still boots to fastboot then I guesd you can run the installer again? If the screen says it's "untrusted" then it means it's already unlocked.

It doesn't seem bricked from what you have said.
If bootloader is unlocked try the installer again, maybe from another machine or try another port or usb lead.
