Update the proprietary firmware of your Fairphone 2 to the latest available. Fairphone updates the software of the Fairphone 2 with security patches on a monthly basis.
This repo host the code to generate a reproducible, flashable ZIP file (called modem.zip) with the latest proprietary firmware from a recent Fairphone OS or Fairphone Open OTA.
You can always download the latest modem.zip release from this link. Also, previous releases can be found at the releases page at GitHub.
The following tools are required for the script to run:
- GNU
make bashcurlzip&unzipsha256sum
The project has been developed on GNU/Linux systems, it should however run on other UNIX systems, too. For Mac OS you'll need the GNU coreutils and findutils. Using Homebrew: $ brew install coreutils findutils.
Clone the repository and execute make build, it will download and verify the official Fairphone 2 firmware images and extract the proprietary firmware images.
If you want to test your changes, just run make install and connect your device in recovery mode and sideload to your computer.
To make a release, just execute make release. It will output a modem-{VERSION}_YYYY-MM-DD.zip to the release/ folder.
We welcome contributions to this project, specially for new releases. We do this on our free time and we can fall behind the security releases schedule of Fairphone. Fork this repo, commit your changes and open a pull request.
Usually, if you want to update to the newest release, you'll just need to tweak the variable definitions at the top of the Makefile. The general flow of the Makefile is:
- get the Edify interpreter from a OTA release → set
OTA_*variables accordingly. - get the firmware images from a MANUAL release → set
FWUPDATE_*variables accordingly.- In case latest OTA release includes every firmware image, these variables can be assigned to their
OTA_*counterparts (FWUPDATE_FILENAME := $(OTA_FILENAME)and so on). Don't worry, GNU Make is a clever system and won't re-download two identical ZIPs.
- In case latest OTA release includes every firmware image, these variables can be assigned to their
- pack them into a ready-to-flash ZIP file.
