fp6-img

Flashable postmarketOS images for the Fairphone 6/6+, built nightly from the Catcrafts milos-linux combined-stable kernel branch, with imsd (userspace VoLTE) preinstalled.

Maintained by Jorijn van der Graaf (TheMightyCat) at Catcrafts.

What works

Everything on the combined-stable branch: display, touch, wifi, cellular data, NFC (reader), speaker audio, microphone, IMU, magnetometer, barometer, ambient light/proximity, fingerprint unlock through fingerprintd, plus VoLTE calls (both directions) through imsd.

Flashing

Download fp6-img.tar.xz from the latest release and unlock the bootloader (Fairphone's official process).

Install: with the phone in fastboot mode,

tar xf fp6-img.tar.xz
cd fp6-img
./install.sh

install.sh erases dtbo, flashes the rootfs, RAM-boots the kernel, writes the boot partition from inside Linux where the bootloader's NV-wipe cannot see it, then reads the modem NV back and reports the result. The bootloader never writes boot.

Default login: user / 147147 (same as official postmarketOS images). Never re-lock the bootloader with a custom image installed.

VoLTE configuration

imsd is installed but needs your carrier's P-CSCF address:

# /etc/imsd.env
PCSCF=<your carrier's P-CSCF IPv6 address>

Find it via android adb using adb shell dumpsys telephony.registry, then systemctl restart imsd (the service is enabled at boot and waits for this file to exist). See the imsd README for the full variable reference and carrier assumptions.
