# Install LineageOS on Fairphone
|
||
|
||
## 1. Check your prerequisites on your computer
|
||
[ ] adb and fastboot are installed on your computer?
|
||
[ ] you downloaded the bootimage (img) and LineageOS (zip)?
|
||
[ ] you have the unlock code (in case of Fairphone 3)?
|
||
[ ] you have an usb cable ready?
|
||
[ ] you have removed your screen lock?
|
||
[ ] your phone has at least 70% battery?
|
||
[ ] you are prepared to erase all the data on your Fairphone?
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 2. Unlock your Fairphone
|
||
|
||
Unlocking will allow us to overwrite the boot-loader.
|
||
1. Navigate to "Settings - About phone"
|
||
1. Tap on “Build number” 7 times to enable developer mode
|
||
1. Navigate to "Settings - System – Advanced – Developer options"
|
||
1. Enable USB Debugging
|
||
1. In case of Fairphone3:
|
||
1. Navigate to "Settings - System – Advanced – Developer options"
|
||
1. Enable OEM unlocking with your unlock code
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 3. Connect via usb
|
||
|
||
For overwriting the boot-loader of your Fairphone, it needs to be connected to your pc.
|
||
1. Connect your computer & Fairphone via usb
|
||
1. On your Fairphone allow the usb connection
|
||
1. Type `adb devices` on your computer (for Windows users: open the terminal in the directory containing adb&fastboot.exe and use the `.\` prefix. The resulting command will be: `.\adb devices`).
|
||
The result should show something like
|
||
```
|
||
List of devices attached
|
||
<SerialNumberOfYourPhone> device
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## 4. Prepare recovery image installation
|
||
|
||
The next step is critical. If something goes wrong here your Fairphone may remain broken. Time to do some checks:
|
||
|
||
1. Make sure your phone has at least 70% battery.
|
||
1. Reboot your Fairphone to bootloader mode: Type `adb reboot bootloader` on your computer.
|
||
1. Your Fairphone should show the bootloader screen.
|
||
1. Type `fastboot devices` on your computer. The result should show something like
|
||
```
|
||
<SerialNumberOfYourPhone> fastboot
|
||
```
|
||
1. Check your downloaded recovery image
|
||
1. In Windows type `Get-FileHash <image_filename.img>` on your computer.
|
||
1. in Linux type `sha256sum <image_filename.img>` or alternatively `shasum -a 256 <image_filename.img>` on your computer.
|
||
1. The result should look like
|
||
```
|
||

|
||
```
|
||
1. Now compare the number to the one given on the recovery image download page. Ensure you are browsing with "https".

|
||
1. Be aware, in the next step all data will be erased on your Fairphone!
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 5. Install LinegaeOS recovery image
|
||
|
||
All checks passed? Then lets continues:
|
||
1. On your computer type `fastboot oem unlock`.
|
||
1. If your Fairphone reboots, you might have to do the steps 2.1-2.4 again to re-enable USB debugging. Then `adb reboot bootloader` will bring you back.
|
||
1. Install fastboot image & reboot to recovery
|
||
1. For Fairphone2
|
||
1. By typing on your computer `fastboot flash recovery <image_filename.img>` (<image_filename.img> is the img-file you have downloaded in 1.).
|
||
1. For Fairphone3
|
||
1. By typing on your computer `fastboot flash boot <image_filename.img>` (<image_filename.img> is the img-file you have downloaded in 1.).
|
||
- If you see something like "boot partition is smaller than boot image" you might find the solution [here](https://gitlab.com/domaindrivenarchitecture/lineageos-Fairphone/-/blob/main/Guides/InstallationFAQ.md).
|
||
1. On the phone you should not see any difference and it should remain in the bootloader screen. Then hold Volume Up + Power. Release when boot logo appears.
|
||
1. Reboot to Recovery without starting your original rom
|
||
1. in case of Fairphone2
|
||
1. With the device powered off, hold Power + Volume Up. Release when boot logo appears.
|
||
1. in case of Fairphone3
|
||
1. Use your bootloader to restart
|
||
[<img src="img/start.jpg" width="300" height="400">](img/start.jpg)[<img src="img/recovery.jpg" width="300" height="400">](img/recovery.jpg)
|
||
1. Or use the button method, hold Volume Up + Power. Release when boot logo appears.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Please take care not to boot in to your old Android / FairphoneOS. If you missed the proper reboot into recovery by buttons you've to step back to step 1. because your old os reinstall its own recovery over the one just installed.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 6. Install LineageOS
|
||
|
||
This step is not very dangerous. You can retry as often you need to.
|
||
The LineageOs boot-loader will verify your binaries.
|
||
If you are already in the recovery mode you can go to step 6.3.
|
||
|
||
1. Choose Factory Reset - Format Data/Factory Reset
|
||
[<img src="img/reset.jpg" width="300" height="400">](img/reset.jpg)[<img src="img/format.jpg" width="300" height="400">](img/format.jpg)
|
||
1. Return to main menu
|
||
1. Apply update - Apply from ADB
|
||
[<img src="img/apply.jpg" width="300" height="400">](img/apply.jpg)[<img src="img/sideload.jpg" width="300" height="400">](img/sideload.jpg)
|
||
1. Type `adb sideload <lineagos.zip>` on your computer (<lineagos.zip> is the zip-file you have downloaded in 1.).
|
||
[<img src="img/done.jpg" width="300" height="400">](img/done.jpg)
|
||
|
||
1. Check whether you see the `Step 2/2` on the bottom of your Fairphone.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### 6.1 Optional installation of google Apps
|
||
|
||
If you really need the google Apps or the google Play Store there are packages with various scopes, you will find a package comparison here: [https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison](https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison). You have to install google Apps before the first start.
|
||
1. Download your favored version from [here](https://opengapps.org/).
|
||
1. Install gapps the same way, you installed LineageOs: `adb sideload <gapps.zip>`
|
||
|
||
### 6.2 Reboot into LineageOS and prepare for OEM Lock
|
||
|
||
Rebooting the system should get you straight to LineageOS.
|
||
Then do steps 2.1 - 2.4 again to re-enable USB-debugging and boot again into fastboot mode with `adb reboot bootloader`.
|
||
|
||
## 7. OEM Lock
|
||
|
||
OEM unlocking / locking will erase all data, so we should ensure to do the lock again now.
|
||
|
||
1. Type `fastboot devices` on your computer. The result should show something like
|
||
```
|
||
<SerialNumberOfYourPhone> fastboot
|
||
```
|
||
1. On your computer type `fastboot oem lock` and enter.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 8. Start LineageOS
|
||
|
||
The first start of your new LineageOS - hurray.
|
||
1. Walk through the initial setup. If you want to avoid tracking from start, you should
|
||
1. execute Step 1 - 4 of [DegoogleLineageOS.md](3. DegoogleLineageOS.md)
|
||
2. activate your wifi
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 9. Download the F-Droid App-Store
|
||
|
||
For installing more software we recommend the F-Droid app store
|
||
1. Use the browser on your Fairphone to download F-Droid: [https://www.f-droid.org/](https://www.f-droid.org/)
|
||
1. Visit the download-folder and install F-Droid (accept the warning).
|
||
1. Do no longer trust your browser for installing apps: Settings -> Apps -> Browser -> extended -> switch "Install from unknown source" off.
|
||
1. Now you can install Apps like DeltaChat, NextCloud, Fennec, Tusky, k9 (...) through the F-Droid Store.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## 10. Enable Data-Encryption
|
||
|
||
Your private data should stay safe in case of loosing your phone
|
||
1. Settings -> Privacy -> Trust -> activate encryption (you have to choose at least a screen-lock-pin for this process).
|
||
|
||
## 11. Final steps
|
||
|
||
Now your phone is ready for use
|
||
1. Disable Development Options: Settings -> System -> Development Options.
|
||
1. insert your sim-card
