I've seen a few posts raising concerns about how much longer this community forum will be available. It seems F(x)tec is still in business, working on the Clicks keyboard case and other projects, but I don't know if there's a future for the Pro1 line. I've gained a lot of useful information from here, so as a precaution, I saved an offline copy of the forum over the weekend. Specifically, the command I used to mirror the forum was: wget -E -k -m -np -p https://community.fxtec.com The archive is about 17 GB in total. Compressed as .tar.gz, it shrinks to about 2.3 GB, which I think i

Necromancing this thread with a dog I got yesterday...

Try this. The download links seem to work (I am not knowledgable on any of this)... https://web.archive.org/web/20200406195436/http://files.nwwn.com/android/pro1/factory.html

One more update, with apologies for the triple-post. I received a secondhand original Pro1 in the mail from the indefatigable @Hook. Using the official flashing guide from this thread, I updated the Pro1 to firmware 20200825 and re-ran the initial setup process (including a one-time factory reset). The Pro1 was confirmed to be working normally. However, when I unplugged the original Pro1 screen frame and plugged in my Pro1 X screen frame (with the replacement Elephone screen attached), the Pro1 immediately entered a boot loop. I then went back to the guide and reflashed all the firmw

Sorry for the late reply but I do have a copy if your still interested. This is the qfpkg_linux.zip, not sure if there were any others. qfpkg_linux.zip

Lineage 23.0 (Android 16) has been released for the Pro1X. I haven't yet had time to install it bbut will either tonight or tomorrow morning, if you want to let me be the guinea Pig. 😉 https://download.lineageos.org/devices/pro1x/builds https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/pro1x/upgrade/ https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps/

Apologies for not checking this thread more regularly! I can still flash screens for the Pro1 X.

No - the same plug, the same voltage, similar capacity, but no way to fit it into Pro1 case

Finally I can add something of value to this forum :-) This is Harry, he is a rescue and living with us since a good year now.

Here is it for you 🙂 https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HxTmm2_oW65ijT2Ewf7pCh4qjF_JKHkK/view?usp=sharing

I never read your post, just your PM 🤪

So, I tried doing LOS 23.2 (the Feb 9th update) as if it were a new install with were a new install, doing a factory reset and all. It just made things worse,,, I got the same symptom of it only booting to bootloader, but worse because I finally could not get back to LOS 23.0 and, of course, I couldn't reinstall 23.0 because that was viewed but the system as a downgrade. So on a whim, I decided to try something. I did the whole thing over again (including factory reset-- nothing to lose at this point), but this time I didn't flash Magisk. Boom, Everything worked. I was also able to up

Warning! ⚠️ Tried to update to Lineage-23.2-20260209-NIGHTLY-pro1x (notice we have jumped from 23.0 to 23.2). It reboots to the bootloader menu. It won't reboot to system and if you go to Recovery, rebooting to recovery does not change the slot. However, doing a shutdown, booting the phone (you still end up in bootloader menu), going to Recovery and doing a System reboot finally boots the older Lineage 23.0 (Future reboots are fine) with 23.2 in the updater labeleed as needing installing. This problem has been reported in the their Github for two other devices with people having tri

I may try it one of these days

F(x)tec never had all the driver sources. And even if they did, they would not have been allowed to publish them. A prominent exception is the keyboard, which is the one hardware component they developed themselves. The rest of the hard- and software came from a Chinese OEM. The idea that f(x)tec ever wanted to make the Pro1/Pro1X "open" phones is a misconception introduced by some media and bloggers. F(x)tec never publicly corrected that misunderstanding, presumably as they hoped to profit from all that "Linux-phone" hype. In reality, the Pro1 was designed as a pretty standard, proprieta

Lineage-23.0-20251013-NIGHTLY-pro1x with October 1st security patch installed smoothly using the Lineage upgrade procedure linked in the OP. It was installed with MindtheGapps 16 and Magisk 29 installed as a zip for SU only. all data was preserved in the upgrade. I did have to open the Magisk app to let it run an update, but root was established. All went according to plan and everything seems to be working so far.

Hello. I’ve been using my Pro1x as my only phone for two years now, everywhere I go. Yes, I have black corners and a big black spot on the screen too, and the reception, call quality, and internet performance are mediocre. But... I own a Pro1x—something truly special. It turns heads wherever I go; no one has ever seen or used anything like it. It’s a very exclusive device, and I actually use it. I’m proud of it and have to take my hat off to FxTec for actually pulling it off. My display is broken now, but I’m sure I can sort that out, too. And I don't care that the big players like App

Did the OTA update on both Gapps and non-Gapps phones as described above. Root was maintained by method described above (ie. the current Magisk recommended method). Updated Magisk app from v.30.6 to 30.7 during the process. All is well.

I think that for an OS like Lineage, which is supposed to be just Android-without-the-Google-bits, upgrading the major Kernel version will be next to impossible. The proprietary vendor blobs compiled for 4.4. will not load with 4.14 or later. That's just not how Linux works. Yes, there may be some other ms8998 devices out there using later Android kernels. So it may boot somehow. But what's the good of that if your LTE-modem, camera, and touchscreen no longer work?

Hello all, As @elvissteinjr correctly stated, Pro1 needs a kernel patch to be supported in LOS 23. in the concrete case that the ebpf backport will not be available for the kernel 4.4, I googled for msm8998 devices and there are one or two shipped or updated with kernel 4.14. maybe trying to update the kernel to that version is the way to. Also thinking that some hardware is shared with pro1x that is shipped with 4.19 will make easier the compilation. Do we have the kernel sources for pro1?

Not using it myself on the Pro1X. But most SFOS users (well, still quite few actually) are on discord. I send you an invite link via pm. Be reminded that whatever technically did not work on Android/Lineage with your Pro1X will also not work in SFOS. Under the hood, it is the same core OS, after all. There will be additional technical limitations with respect to Android, because not every function is available from SFOS userspace. E.g., as far as I know, VoLTE does not work with SFOS on Pro1/X, while it does in Lineage.

Ah thanks for the info! I optimistically tried 22.2 again (20251011), still not working VoLTE not supported, 😠 (expecting the 23 I thought this might be the last 22.2, so wanted to test before 23) So going back on 22.1 (20250405)- where VoLTE works ☺️

Very optimistic. Android 16 comes with additional eBPF feature requirements to the kernel, which the 4.4 version the Pro1 is stuck on doesn't fulfill, but the Pro1X's 4.19 kernel version does. Or rather, those have been backported down to that version, but nobody has done this for 4.4 yet. See the LineageOS announcement for some details: https://lineageos.org/Changelog-30/ It may happen, but not within a few days if it does.
