![]() So, when I noticed the phone did not boot anymore, I tried to use fastboot to load different image files from the Fairphone website to the phone, however, all attempts failed with the same error: But at that point, the phone had already been softbricked… But actually I did not notice then… I merely saw the error, did not try to reboot but tried to flash the operating system from the SD memory card immediately, which also failed. When fastboot exited with the above mentioned error, it left my phone with an unbootable operating system. Well, different from what I had suspected in my first post, this is what actually softbricked my Fairphone, because fastboot had already started writing the image to the phone, thus overwriting parts of the old operating system. Unfortunately the process exited after some time with the following error: I first tried to downgrade via fastboot so I downloaded the flash image for version 1.1.7 and used “fastboot -w update ‘flashable image filename’ " to load the image file to the device. I had wanted to install Sailfish OS on my Fairphone 2 and for that reason I first needed to downgrade the Fairphone OS from version 1.5.1 to version 1.1.7. OK, so here is how I solved the problem: It all boils down to outdated versions of the fastboot binaries… But first things first.
