Fairphone 3 (FP3)

[007fred50]

@Luksus there are no flash_stock.sh inside the file / Zip

wrong file/Zip downlaoded? (Fairphone_FP3_8901.2.A.0110.20200109_01092024_user_release-keys.zip)

[Luksus]

@007fred50 sorry I forgot, how the things work together:

In this github-repository there is the script to flash the files contained in the zip. There is also the stock-rom version linked, which I used:
A.0111

But, I also read, that it should be possible to flash the zip with twrp.
Please try to follow these instructions: https://forum.fairphone.com/t/how-to-flash-a-custom-rom-on-fp3-with-gsi/57074 in the first post at "Flash back stock ROM".

@Luksus can't get it to work here is my steps:

1. cd Fairphone_FP3_FP3_9_8901.2.A.0111.20200131_01311418_user_release-keys/
2. fastboot flash system system.img
3. fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-FP3.img
4. adb disable-verity
5. fastboot -w
6. fastboot reboot
7. fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img

I can't get thiss to work:

1. adb shell mount /system_root
2. adb push treble-overlay-fairphone-fp3.apk /system/overlay/

It stuck on boot up logo (Fairphone 3+ Logo)

@007fred50

Please just save this script in the folder, where the unzipped images are.
Then boot the phone into fastboot mode.
Then execute this script sh flash.sh
If it succeeds, boot the phone into fastboot mode again.
Execute the script again.

Do not use twrp or flash any GSI, before you have a working android again.
Please refer to Fairphone Forum, if you have issues, to get a working android again.

Just to be sure.

1. install Fairphone OS / Android 9
2. Install GSI / follow that guide here https://forum.fairphone.com/t/how-to-flash-a-custom-rom-on-fp3-with-gsi/57074

Yes. "Just" follow this guide: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/360048050332

Yes

No. After you have a working Android 9 follow my guide:

Flash

• Boot the phone into bootloader/fastboot by pressing power + volume-down buttons until it reboots. Or just reboot and click a volume button within 5 seconds and select the bootloader.
• Flash halium-boot image: $ fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img
• Boot your downloaded TWRP image temporarly: $ fastboot boot [twrp-image.img]
• In TWRP, wipe data only
• In TWRP go to ADVANCED and Select "ADB Sideload". Activate sideload.
• in Terminal: $ adb sideload [ubports_gsi.zip]
• Wait until it finished, then reboot system.

if you follow that guide, that I linked above, step by step, you should find the answer:

I will not answer further questions regarding this, sorry, but I am not your personal support.

Hey,
I tried to flash your build but did not success.
I downloaded your build and run fastboot flash boot halium-boot.img which resulted into fastboot: error: Couldn't parse partition size '0x'.
I have no idea where to start to fix this problem. I tried on newly flashed /e/ 0.12 but with no luck.
All I was able to do was fastboot boot halium-boot.img which for the first time resulted into successful boot but when tried again it got stuck on Fairphone logo.

Building system from scratch does not work for me (I tried commands you described and no luck there) so I am stuck for now.

[Luksus]

@Janez Hi, the fastboot error Couldn't parse partition size '0x' seems to be a problem of recent fastboot versions.
To go around it you should adjust the command to:

fastboot flash:raw boot bootimage.img

[Janez]

Thanks a lot Luksus,
now it worked at first try.
I had chance to play with phone for a while so I will try to be useful as much as I can.

• SMS working both ways (sending and receiving)
• Headphones work, tried 4-pin headphones, microphone not yet
• Wi-Fi at home (one router) works well, in work office (several access points) oftenly disconnects

I am also still trying to connect Mullvad VPN via openvpn but did not manage to configure it right yet.

[Janez]

So I had some time to test the port in real scenario and here are my findings:

• SMS works 100% flawlessly including messages from operator and other special numbers
• WiFi works as described higher
• Did manage to start openvpn through console however phone lost connection completely and went offline. After stopping openvpn everything worked
• Phone calls are unreliable.
  • Several times I tried and system just did not manage to make call, then it started call normally.
  • Some people claimed they tried to call me but nobody answered. But phone did not show any incoming call or missed call. Log of missed calls is completely empty.
• Most graphical glitches come when using camera
  • Live preview is compressed to upper third of display
  • Resolution is fine but noise in pictures is very high

I would really like to try to troubleshoot some of these but I have no clue how to do it so at least I am posting these issues here so someone smarter than me can focus on some of these things.
