FP4 can install Android 11/12/13 and /e/OS 11/12/13 and PostMarkOS, except Ubuntu Touch
-
@liam the Fairphone 4 stock Android should set the partition sizes correctly.
-
@MrT10001 I have followed below guidance install Android 11, I really have no idea which step have problem, why can not install UT still show the same error.
-
@liam I see you are using Windows (fastboot.exe). Put the platform tools folder on your desktop along with the UT installer and run fastboot commands from there. Also you can try an older version of platform-tools to rule that issue out.
-
@MrT10001 Tried any way, still can not work, I want to give up for it, if anyone interest in this phone, I can sell to him.

@MrT10001 I already tried this command before, actually I can install Android 11/12/13 and /e/OS 11/12/13 and PostMarkOS, except Ubuntu Touch, the dynamic partition was deleted by me before, I don't know how to revert it that is the problem. it can install UT at the first time, after I resize and expand the size for 'super', that want to install back UT, it was failed till now, still can not find out the good way for fixing it.
-
@liam Check this out on the fairphone forums, you may have damaged the partition table.
-
@MrT10001 I have refer to it before, resized and expand the super partition. it is UT problem, I can execute the partition operation like 'delete-logical-partition' in Android and /e/OS system, but after flash UT firmware image, partition not working.

I am not sure of this is related, but have you formatedthe data partition to ext4?
-
@ikoz yes,already

does anyone know where I can download the old version firmware of UT?

@Liam (and all others)
Problem here as well - with different result:
Tried to install UT on Fairphone 4 with Android 11.
Got identical screen: Installation stopped due to a problem.
I clicked ‘Try again’.
Installer then tried again, obviously trying to format (?)… which according to the installer didn’t go on. Still the installer didn’t crash. So I decided to wait. Took some time ...
Then suddenly everything seemed fine on the Fairphone. UT did actually boot – although the installer screen was still – unsuccessfully trying to move on – at work.
My problem is now that the installer somehow installed UT 24.04 (r411), although I thought I had instructed the installer to use 20.04 (stable).
And now I cannot use the phone for calls, and sms doesn’t work. There is only one network icon, the one with which I can connect to the internet.
Since I’d like to use a mobile to take sone calls, I am in trouble now.I tried to install UT again (to possibly get the opportunity of going back to 20.04) – fail.
I tried to somehow install Android 13 to then later on try for a second time with UT – fail. Fastboot dces not appear to be able to detect my phone any longer .So what to do?
Any idea how I can make fastboot work again?
Or might it be feasible to wait until there will be a new stable release of 24.04 … and hope that by then everything will work out?I am not used to being in forums and I can hardly be called someone with much knowledge and understanding what actually happens, if you do this or that. I only try to follow instructions.
And: Should I better post this one as a new topic?
Complicated ... -
Scary … but nice ...
As if somebody @ UBPorts had read my first entry here, decided to quickly write 45 mb of code and change things drastically.
Well, a few hours later, there was the message on my mobile that 24.04 (r412) was there to download and install … which I did.
And now calling and sending text do actually work.There are still some minor issues, but on the whole, I’d say I have a usable mobile now.
Things are obviously going to be better.
Thank you, UBPorts!The only thing that really annoys me at the moment is that I am informed each time when I power up the device that the boot loader was still unlocked .. and that I'd better not store any sensitive data on it.

And that is a badge of honour meaning Google is not scraping and selling your data.

This is perfectly fine. Do not change anything about it or you will maybe brick your device.

@kari congratulation! it is lucky of you. I have gave up for it, I changed to install postmaketOS instead of UT,at least I have a Linux server, but unfortunately, the battery is broken of postmaketOS for FP. It was difficult for me. crying...
