Not intu Fastboot mode

Ernst-Jan15

Hi all,

Ok, it's been a while sinds I booted into Fastmode but was concinced I knew how this worked.

Well, I'm not...

Shutdon, restart with holding volume up?
No, I can two beeps and then UT boots as usual?

Shutdown, restart with volume down?
No, I can hear two beeps and then UT boots as usual?

WTF. Sorry fo that but what has changed. I cannot find an other way to get into Fastboot.

Help?

@Ernst-Jan15 To get to fastboot mode power off the device, wait a minute, hold Volume Up and Power button. When the logo appears release the power button, but keep holding the volume up button. Then on the side menu use the volume buttons to scroll up and down, choose fastboot mode.

can't help much, with my FP5 under 24.04.1.1 restart with volume up works quite fine.
you can try to open a terminal and run

sudo reboot bootloader

no idea if it will work for your phone, but it does for mine.

@gpatel-fr Pffft, YES this workes fine. Tanks.

I though volume up end power was the trick but even wait for a minute or even a half hour after powr down it will just bootup again.And yes, I hold volume + until the fairphone screen shows itself.

Thanks again

I think for Fairphone 4 I've seen it's power + volume down but not sure.

@pparent Hi,
The problem is that there is a message in the bootproces te that tells me the bootloader is unlocked. It needs a press on the power button to get rid of it. After this UT starts. I'm not able to start the bootloader this way.

Luckely the " reboot bootloader works and I can inform I now am back to the latest stable version of UT.

UWolf wokes fine now with an apering screen keybord when needed.

I'm stil in the proces of getting back to where I was because I had to wipe the FP4.

I'm glad that my FP4 is regognised in Fastboot. My Pixel is not so I'm stuck on Google

Great that you could make it to stable release, I hope it will suit you!

@pparent As I like it so far I'm going to do my best.
It's quite a challange and I like challenges even if they are hard...
