        I have a new Fairphone 5 and I installed Ubuntu Touch 24.04-1.1 (stable). The system boots fine but I cannot connect to a WiFi network. When I open the WiFi settings, all I can see is the menu entry "Previous networks". What could I do, to get the WiFi working?

          Did you install Android 13 first, before installing UT? That step in the guide is important for all hardware to work as expected.

            Hello

            did you actually enable the wifi button ? Not having the invisible network option is a sign of that, actually.

                @Ida_ This means that I need to downgrade to Android 13, if I previously had a higher Android version installed, right?

                  @Martin230799 Yes, or to flash Android 13 before beginning, I'm not sure you can downgrade from within 14/15 on the FP5. I lucked out when I bought mine and it had A13 installed.

                    Has this been confirmed? Have you tried just reinstalling again?
                    Do bear in mind if you downgrade from A14 to A13 do not try to relock the bootloader as Android rollback protection kicks in.

                      I have downgraded to Android 13 using the tool from the Fairphone website and then I re-installed Ubunu touch 24.04 stable. Now everythings works as it should.

                      Thanks for the help!

                        Hello !

                        I can confirm. I received my Fairphone 5 with android 15 and had to revert to android 13 to get the wifi working.

                          Hi Martin, sounds perhaps stupid but I have a FP4 and from time to time the same issue and switching off/on flight modus helps. Best+Good luck, Gerd
