        Unfortunately, I can't update my Fairphone 2. I have tried the update on three different systems:

        1. macOS

        The installer app asks in an infinite loop for the password. I have reproduced this error with a PIN and a password.

        macOS screenshot

        The first install didn't work either. It's a usb-c driver issue, I think.

        1. Neon

        I managed the first installation in Neon. The installer couldn't update the device with the following error:

        Neon screenshot

        I also couldn't install the recent installer. Therefore I removed the files for the installer at /opt/ and /usr/share/applications with sudo. Then I tried the installation again, but nothing happens after entering the password.

        1. Windows 10

        The installation app sais, that I have to reboot in bootloader but afterwards nothing happens. This application doesn't ask for a passwird.

        Very frustrating user experience with UBPorts update!!

        I have added some screenshots, but unfortunately they are not schon in the forum with the suggested syntax:

          @marc_aurel You may want to check the method described above with system-image-cli - it is done from the phone terminal or from a computer logged into the phone via adb or ssh.

            @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:
