iodéOS for Fairphone 4?

General

Thank you @AlphaElwedritsch for these very clear instructions that allowed me to flash Iode3.0 beta. ( I haven’t lock the bootloader for the moment, I’ll see if it’s less risky in a few months, during my next reinstallation :sweat_smile:)

@Pierre_l
Have you ever unlocked the critical partitions, as described in the fairphone unlock guide?

Unlock with fastboot flashing unlock_critical ?
I don’t think so, I switched directly from FairphoneOS to IodéOS2 at the beginning of february, then to IodéOS3 yesterday.
I saw that this command is used in the installation instructions of /e/OS, but if I remember correctly it was never necessary for IodéOS.

81

Yes, that’s right.
In that case and as long as get_unlock_ability is 1 you should be able to relock your bootloader

Is it save to installiert iodé 3 OTA for a

  • iode 2.4 (04-07-2022)
  • with locked bootloader
  • (the avb key was flashed along 2.4)

The changelog on the github release is a little frightning

83

No problem. I did it that way. Just sideload the zip in recovery without wiping the data.
No problems at all. Everything’s running fine.

Just two things if you update to 3.0 that way:

First
You have to clear cache and data in bluetooth app after first start in 3.0. Otherwise if will crash permanently.
Settings/apps/ - show system apps - bluetooth apps

Second
Enable developer settings
Enable “deactivate bluetooth a2dp hardware offload”
Reboot
Otherwise bluetooth audio is not clear

And using the updater is not recommendet?

Why are such informations not documented in the changelog?

85

You can also use the updater

86

Maybe you still have to do the two steps. Happen only on updating from 2.4 to 3.0.
Not if installing from scratch

87

Using the updater worked flawless. But i also needet to clear the cache oft the Bluetooth service

Hi,

At the weekend I updated my FP4 from iodeOS V2.5 to V3 Over the Air (OTA) with no issues. All my data was intact, only the bluetooth cache needed to be cleared to enable bluetooth. The only extra work was ensuring I backed up my SD Card as Android 12 insists on reformatting my SD Card before I can use it. (I have reposted this on the Fairphone forum too)

Nice work iode team, thank you

A quick update on the iodéOS updater:

Updated Over the Air (OTA) from V3.0 to V3.1. No data loss, no issues seen so far, smooth update. Used WiFi to download. Biggest imeadiate improvement, which may be a placebo, was the perceived improvement of the quality of the pictures using the Open Camera app.

Is iodéOS 3.0 still in beta? On XDA the last entry is from 02/05/2022 with iodéOS 2.4:

Thanks for the explanation! That’s great that iodéOS 3.0 (A12) is already officially released. :slight_smile:

@vince31fr will the XDA page still be updated? There you can always see very clearly what is new in the update. :slight_smile:
