I know this might be a bit early to ask, but since I just ordered a FP6, I am interested to test iodéOS on it. Are there already plans to support the device?
Thanks a lot

At the earliest when there will be a LOS build.
The past models have shown that it takes around 1/2 year until a build can be expected…
Optimistically, I would say: “At the turn of the year or into spring”

Maybe it is possible earlier because Murena already offered it. Is a team member around to answer this question?

Late reply but the FP6 is listed for sale in the iodé shop. Shipping says “in 2025” so there are indeed plans for it, but builds aren’t available yet.

I checked, there is no beta build available yet but it is being worked on.

Hi, I would be interested to know what the current status is. The shop says that the Fairphone 6 is available for pre-order.
I have three questions about this:
- When would the device be delivered? Before Christmas or after Christmas?
- Is the bootloader locked again on the Fairphone 6, as it was on the Fairphone 5?
- Is it possible to install a different OS later (I don’t plan to do so, but I want to be on the safe side in case something like what happened to DivestOS happens to iodeOS)?

I don’t believe the device build is ready yet so I can’t comment on the timing but did ask for a status update from the devs. I also can’t say for certain but am fairly sure the device will be re-locked (and unlockable / reflashable with any ROM of your choosing).

I would also like to know when official builds are ready. I found only the inofficial one here: [UNOFFICIAL BUILD] Fairphone 6 for iode 6.x
But it seems FP6 is also not included in last Beta versions: iodéOS 7 (beta) is here! - #20 by jedie
No more information, no timeline?

I found that the challenge in finalizing the FP6 build is that the test device used has a hardware problem, so another device is needed to confirm the build on before making it available publicly. I think this is being obtained so hopefully soon!
BTW before the test device had issues, I understood that everything was working well except relocking the bootloader which is of course a requirement. So that piece may need a bit more effort before the build would be made available.

Because iodos was not available, i install /e/ … relocking the bootloader works fine. (But /e/ is boring)
Yes, /e/ has it available. Still working on the FP6 on our side but getting the bootloader relocking working is still causing problems.

iodeOS is now available for the Fairphone 6, and from my own experience, I can say that it works well.

Correct. We have official builds now, they support bootloader relocking, and they will wipe out the FRP partition to prevent any accidental prevention of future re-flashing. So all should be good to go!
