How to enter flash mode

For booting into fastboot, turn off the phone, hold volume down and plug in the USB cable.

Installation

Unlock the bootloader according to the official instructions.

UBports Installer

You can use UBports Installer v0.9.8 (or later) to flash a prebuilt image of postmarketOS onto your Fairphone 5. Just select postmarketOS in the OS selection and choose the desired UI and lean back!

postmarketOS web installer

You can use the postmarketOS web flasher to flash a prebuilt image of postmarketOS onto your Fairphone 5. Follow the instructions on the page.

Manually

You need to erase the dtbo and vendor_boot partitions for the current slot with fastboot erase dtbo erase vendor_boot.

Disable Android Verified Boot (AVB): pmbootstrap flasher flash_vbmeta --partition vbmeta

The rest of the installation is standard, but because the device contains A/B slots, you must watch out for the correct slot being active.

The device does not contain a system as you might be used to, it contains one super partition which contains system/system_ext/product/vendor/odm partitions, in _a and _b variant each. This concept is called Dynamic Partitions.

You have a few possibilities to flash the postmarketOS rootfs:

userdata partition (> 200 GB space): pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition userdata
super partition (6 GB space): pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --partition super
SD card: pmbootstrap flasher flash_rootfs --sdcard /dev/$blk_dev
Subpartition of super using fastbootd.
