Hello every one.

So, I regularly test PostmarketOS on a Fairphone 2. Until now, it booted with no problem. But the last time I tested it, it failed to boot.

I use pmbootstrap. On the init, I choose this configuration:

  • Canal: Edge
  • Vendor: Fairphone
  • Device: fp2
  • Kernel: mainline
  • User interface: Phosh
  • All other options: The default

I flashed with 2 methods: From the TWRP recovery, with adb sideload, and from the bootloader with pmbootstrap flasher.

The result is the same: On boot, the Fairphone logo is shown then slowly fade to leave a black screen. Sometimes, I get vertical white lines. But nothing more.

I rebooted on TWRP and search for getting the last dmesg or the pstrore. With no success. But it’s maybe because I use the mainline Kernel.

As I don’t have an UART access, I don’t know how to get more info on why the boot fail.

Do you have any idea ?

      Strange, I chose “gnome-mobile” on the “pmbootrap init” and get Phosh. Same if I choose “gnome”
