IodéOS installer support for Fairphone 6

[light3r]

I bought a Fairphone 6 with e/OS some months ago, however I’ve discovered about IodeOS, which I would like to install on the phone.
I can manage to do it manually, but having the graphical installer would be obviously a lot better.

With this said, can anyone tell me if FP6 support for the installer is coming anytime soon? If it’s not planned for the next few months, I think I’ll just manually install, but first I wanted to check if I could install it more easily.

Thanks in advance.

Fairphone 4, 5, and 6 Re-added to Graphical Installer

Vincent completed the work to re-add the Fairphone 4, 5, and 6 (FP4, FP5, FP6) to the Graphical Installer! No more “scary terminal commands ” needed to install iodéOS for these devices! As a short background, the reason these devices were removed earlier this year was due to erasing the FRP (“Factory Reset Protection”) when installing. Removing the FRP was implemented to prevent any accidental bricking of the devices in the case the user did not remove a Google account from their prior syst…

But be carefull about bootloader relocking. Vendor Patchlevel of iode is still Dez 2025. (Arian pushed newer versions last week, so hopefully this will trickle down to iode now…)

Thank you. One last question, it may be stupid but I want to be sure about it. Could you tell me what’s the problem with bootloader relocking and old vendor patches?
Anyways I checked my vendor level patches, and I also have the 5 december ones, so there shouldn’t be any problems, right?

You should be clear to re-lock then. IF an install downgrades the vendor security patch level AND you re-lock the bootloader, then you would be left with an unbootable phone (“soft brick”) since you would trip the ARB (“Anti RollBack”) Prevention mechanism. If you also did not have your “Allow OEM Unlocking” enabled, then you would have a hard brick as you could not unlock it again to attempt to re-flash. Unbootable + Locked + Unlockable would mean send it to Fairphone to re-image.
