How to enter flash mode

Hold vol-down while booting the device. The splash screen doesn't indicate, that the phone is in fastboot mode, but you can test it by running "fastboot devices" on a PC that's connected via USB to the phone.

Installation

A more-or-less guide is available in the Fairphone Forum.

Older bootloaders do not support flashing images generated with the "img2simg" tool. It needs the patch "app: aboot: Add support for CHUNK_FILL type for sparse image" to work. This patch is included since the 18.01.1 release from Fairphone. See the Fairphone Forum where @z3ntu also provides instructions on how to patch the bootloader.

Installation procedure is the same as with most other devices and isn't special for this phone.
