Hi all,
I’m trying to install iodéOS 7.5 on my Fairphone 4 using the iodéOS installer on Linux (Manjaro) - now it hangs on `Sending ‘core_nhlos’ (111916 KB)` since 1h+.
What I did
I got this used Fairphone 4 recently (never had another OS than FPOS installed).
After updating to the latest FPOS version I did a factory reset and then unlocked the bootloader to prepare for installation (Developer options showed bootloader still unlocked when enabling USB debugging).
Due to not having touched adb in a while I opted for the automatic installer (v.0.3.1).
This went smooth until:

Since then, I haven’t moved from the “Installing the system step”, phone is still showing the bootloader screen.
I haven’t tried to restart or anything (yet). Any pointers on how to proceed from here?
Update
Nevermind - closed the installer, rebooted, got stuck in the bootloader and rebooted into recovery.
From there, I followed the steps for 7.4 and sideloaded the package for 7.5.
System installation then proceeded normally.
