The post was a bit confusing but I think it’s referring to a specific scenario when starting from the _latest_ Fairphone OS (i.e. the stock one if you bought from FP directly) and trying to move to iodéOS. That transition would result in a hard brick under certain bootloader lock configurations. If you already have iodéOS 7.1 installed, I believe updating to 7.3 should be fine even with a (re)locked bootloader, but I’m also holding off from updating for now. Another post mentioned problems due to which they skipped 7.2 for FP6, but given that they pushed out an OTA for 7.3 I would assume it’s fixed now? > [@Fairphone (gen. 6)](https://community.iode.tech/t/fairphone-gen-6/7720/9): > > Yes it is correct, there are some blockers for the FP6 to get 7.2 or 7.3, partly related to “if your bootloader is locked and you upgrade” then your device may not boot after the upgrade. So you will have to patient on this, hopefully the solution is uncovered. Stay tuned! I’ll probably bite the bullet and try updating soon, but I’d feel safer if there was a confirmation on whether updating 7.1→7.3 is intended to be working now with a locked bootloader 🙂 --- _[View the full topic](https://community.iode.tech/t/fairphone-6-is-now-supported/7631)._
