I ran into a problem (multiple actually) while trying to get Sailfish on my new Fairphone.
Steps taken :
Buy and receive new Fairphone2
Boot it once or twice to it's stock Android
Run the proximity sensor calibration item in the configuration settings
Continue with the steps from
https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Ada...fishOS_for_fp2
Download
http://storage.googleapis.com/fairph...5.1-manual.zip
fastboot flash modem ./BP/NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
See that device no longer boots and just says "loading"
Notice that going to TWRP using volume up just makes my screen blue
Download newest TWRP from
https://eu.dl.twrp.me/FP2/twrp-3.2.1-0-FP2.img.html
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-FP2.img
fastboot reboot
Notice I can now get to twrp, no longer blue
Notice twrp won't mount my SD card
reformat SD card to FAT32 on a 10GB partition (because Windows)
Click install in TWRP, choose the zip file for Sailfish downloaded earlier
Wait until finished and reboot
See just the fairphone logo and rebooting after about a minute back to recovery...
I think I made a mistake and should have used the system and recovery from the other zip file linked at the page
https://storage.googleapis.com/fairp...3.1-manual.zip
so I will flash those now and see if that helps...
But I'm annoyed at the lack of visibility of the boot process errors...
EDIT : nvm it works now
- flashing the right system & recovery did the trick. I haven't checked if the recovery is still twrp now...
One remark for the guide - I don't know who or where to put this so the right people see it - it says : "Also the other partitions (except modem and boot partitions) can be flashed (rpm, sbl1, tz, splash and aboot) can be flashed " and about ten lines higher it says "Only flash system.img and recovery.img. DO NOT flash other partitions. " ... I think there's a copy paste error there? It seems a contradiction.
It does crash a lot...
Once while I was messing around with the camera and film roll, once while I was adding a contact (I didn't completely reboot but the GUI seemed to have crashed or something) and I think once more but I forgot what I was doing.
Also I've noticed I can't shut it down...it says goodbye but then it reboots everytime?
