Introduction:

The Fairphone Updater app should always be up to date. You will in that case receive notifications when a new software update is ready to be installed on your Fairphone 2.

If you are a Google apps user, you can get the update though Google Play store. Otherwise, you can update it manually:

Instructions:

1. On your Fairphone 2 go to Settings > Security and enable Unknown sources
2. Download the Updater app (APK file) from https://frphn.co/android7updater (give your browser permissions if necessary)
3. Open the downloaded file:
   • by pressing on the notification about the completed download or
   • by opening the Downloads app and opening the APK file.
     
4. Press Install button
5. Optionally accept or decline the Google security check
6. You will see a screen saying that Fairphone Updater has been installed
7. Go to Settings > Security and disable Unknown sources.
