Installed trwp and flashed multiple times my wileyfox swift to lineage 14.1
Swift wont boot gets stuck in bootloader....
Found a 14.0 image (linage) somewhere.... this works with no problems but seems an older built (buggy)
Anyone has 14.1 lineage on a swift with no problems ???
You can try installing Lineage 14.1. from CM13, see posts #155/#156 in thread 'Nightly 14.1 lineageOS Rom For Crackling'
went back to cyanogen the original firmware
Found the original firmware and twrp flashed back to that one...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70510585&postcount=19
Old firmware but was happy with that one so.... problem solved....
Same bootloop on Wileyfox Swift, how did you...
...install the old COS on your Swift?
I downloaded all the files from G4liant's MEGA cloud storage but don't know how to continue.
Please, help if you can (see my reply to his post, too (as of today 25. June 2017)).
Thanks!

Do you have TWRP recovery installed on your wileyfox ?
Via the twrp recovery, you can install what is in one of the zipfiles
I guess this one :
cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling-signed-42f2b8e414.zip
MD5: 0AEF4E4A468EF34A6DA65712156ECB2C
contains the twrp installable original firmware....
Installing works the same as you would eg install a lineage custom rom.... TWRP is rather fool proof... I tried to install some of the other files, in the other zipfiles and twrp just refused... so ... try.... no need to install google apps here, everything is in the image... As you will see in the filesize of het image, it is rather big, compared to the lineage custom roms... Everthing is there....
If you are so far... Let me know, i learned that you will have to disable the wileyfox to keep looking for updates, wileyfox will download over and over again the upgrade files, was kind of annoying...
TWRP recovery cannot be loaded on Wileyfox Swift
Hi!
I had TWRP installed, in fact in different versions.
But for whatever reason I cannot boot into TWRP anymore which is precisely one of the problems I'm having now that I wanted to flash the Lineage OS again on a second Swift (I might have erased the partition that I installed TWRP to). But I cannot install TWRP again either...
All I can reach is the bootloader which does give you an option to restart recovery but it doesn't work. The phone is stuck in a bootloop returning whatever you do to the bootloader.
So, I hoped to find some help in treating the phone to a new or its original bootloader...
Thanks for helping!

I have found a way to install TWRP (different versions) but didn't know how to start it.
In this post I found how to:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/wileyfox-swift/help/foolproof-twrp-guide-wileyfox-swift-t3616571
It's keeping the volume down button held down until TWRP starts, then you can do everything from there.
Everything?
I installed Lineage OS 14.1 (nightly as of 2017/06/19) as well as GApps, wiped Cache/DALVIK and restarted the system.
The OS wouldn't start, only the bootloader could I get the phone to start.
So, TWRP is there, the OS is there, even GApps are there, I just cannot boot into the OS to use the phone.
Any new ideas?

Try installing the system and the GApps separately:
Wipe again, install system, then boot to system, when Lineage has successfully booted for the first time (may take a couple of minutes), go back to TWRP and install GApps.

I had the same problem with lineage.... only bootloader when powering on.... That is the reason why I went back to the original firmware because that solved my problem.... I once found an older lineage rom suggested somewhere on the forum that worked and got me out of the bootloader but that version was buggy... Updating from there to a the latest linage got me back to the bootloader only problem....
I will stay on the cyonogenmod now.... Until perhaps someone can tell me how to really solve the bootloader only by power up problem....

Are you back on the cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling-signed-fastboot-84f0d5200b.zip?
If so, you should be able to install and run TWRP 3.1.1.0.
TWRP then should be able to mount all partitions, including 'system'.
Then you can install the current Lineage via TWRP, wipe and restart system.
When Lineage has booted once, you can go back to TWRP and install the GApps.
Let me know if you get stuck at one point.
total backup of existing system ?

Can i backup my existing system in twrp... I tried lineage a dozen times before and always got stuck on bootloader. So can I backup my current setup because at the moment everything works as it should.... ????? I formatted my sd card as system memory so... ????
If TWPR is running and you can mount the system partition, you should be able to make a back-up via TWRP. (Not of your pictures, music and so on, see TWRP disclaimer.)
Install LineageOS from a running cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling
Hi there!
Yes, my Wileyfox Swift is running the CyanogenMOD version cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling.
Everything seems to be OK, it just wants to keep downloading an update which I can save but when I'm asked to install it the normally automatic installation process doesn't work:
The phone reboots back to TWRP but doesn't show the just downloaded .zip file (which normally would happen) and doesn't install it either. Installation stops in TWRP, when I tap on REBOOT > SYSTEM the OS reboots normally but shows the OS version I had before.
Can you tell me where these update .zip files are saved so that I could install it maybe from the TWRP's file manager?
If that doesn't work I would try to update TWRP and after that install the current Lineage OS over the CM 13.1.2 as you suggested.
Thanks for helping!

What update does it want to keep downloading? I guess it might be the official stock 7.1.1..
You probably need to download the Lineage.zip manually from official Lineage downloads.
Then restart to TWRP and install the Lineage.zip.
TWRP has a toggle button in the lower left corner, where you can switch from 'Install image' to 'Install zip'. With 'install zip', you should find the zip.
The update is cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS7EB-crackling.
I have it ready to be installed on the phone but it won't show in any filemanager, be it in TWRP nor the system's filemanager nor AMAZE filemanager which I also installed.
So, I assume the download either isn't actually saved properly or it's a hidden file or something of that sort.
In other threads they say that updates were saved to a folder called "cmupdater". I cannot find any folder with that name either.
I also have the latest LineageOS .zip file ready to be installed on my phone and have tried to install that from TWRP (by the way: Now running the latest version for the Wileyfox Swift, ie. twrp-3.1.1-0-crackling). All it does is it produces an error saying something like "Error 7... cannot be installed".
SOLVED for now:
From here https://cyanogenupdatetracker.com/downloads/ I downloaded the latest available CM version (SW27-WF-CRACKLING-CM-13.1.5-ZNH2KAS7EB-RECOVERY.zip) which seemed to be exactly the one that my phone kept downloading and couldn't install.
I copied it to my external sd card and installed it from there via TWRP.
After that the system rebooted normally, Android then updated all my installed apps and now the system is downloading yet another update:
Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) - TOS111B
As I know that version of Android on the Wileyfox it's not actually something I would want to install myself. But I shall try to install the latest Lineage OS instead.
Let's keep each other posted (in German?)!

English is forum language I guess, you could probably send me a private message to clarify anything in German.
I also had the error 7 issue when installing Lineage, you need to wipe system (you will loose everything though, it is not possible to install Lineage over Cyanogen, like a dirty flash).
In TWRP, choose Wipe/advanced Wipe/ tick system only / repair, 2F2S. After that, format data.
Then the installation of Lineage with TWRP should run through. Let the system boot for the first time, if it runs, boot back to TWRP and install GApps.
With that method, I am on LOS nigthly 20170626 now and happy.
Hi kabu83!
Thanks a lot for your last reply - it helped me to finally get Lineage OS 14.1 installed!
At the moment the phone is rebooting the system after installing the GApps, everything seems to run smoothly and - guess what - I'm happy, too, now!
How about sending me a PM? (As I have no clue as to how that works it would be nice if you could send me that one more reply to let me know.)
[HELP] Get stuck in bootanimation &then only boot to TWRP after upgrade Magisk & TWRP
I have sucessfully rooted my phone but yesterday when i upgraded Magisk from 16.4 to 17.1 and then flashed lasted TWRP, my phone some how corrupted .
After that I tried to flash Factory Image and boot TWRP portable -> Flash ElementalX 2.05 -> Magisk 17.1 -> VerifiedBootSigner-v8 -> Reboot but my phone get stuck in bootanimation about 5 min and then reboot to recovery. Then it will always boot back to recovery when I reboot.
I have searched here but couldn't find any solution.
I tried to flash ElementalX and TWRP only and my phone booting normally. But anytime I flash Magisk it can't.
Please help me, I don't know what to do next, Thank you and sorry for my bad English. :crying:
I had the same issue as well. I think is is due to the latest TWRP update. I was running Magisk 17.1 with no issues, but once I tried installing the latest TWRP build, I was unable to boot. I even tried connecting to my computer and trying to boot using the boot.img from android. I am currently running the official release of android P. I ended up just doing basically a dirty flash of P over what was already installed to reset the bootloader, radio, etc. I'm going to just end up running the previous version of TWRP until the dev releases something that is confirmed to be stable.

What version of TWRP did you use?
My device is SM-N976N (Korean variant of Note 10+ 5G with Exynos)
I've unlocked bootloader, disabled OEM Lock, succesfully installed latest TWRP, wiped everything it need, and tried to install latest PE+ (A13) via TWRP.
At first, it shows 'Google' and go to G logo and tiny status bar beneath. But that's it. It does not boot and just stuck at that thing.
I tried almost everything in google, XDA, or other community. I tried to use 'Format data' in TWRP, reinstall another version of TWRP, install another custom kernel, reinstall old PE (A12)
but it is not fixed at all.
Is there anyone who can help with it? I'm almost dying because of it.
---2023.03.03 Solved----
I just installed PixelOS recovery on my phone and install PE+ via PixelOS recovery. And it finally went through.
Maybe PE is not stable with TWRP in Galaxy smartphones.

I think they're all recommend to install there rom with an AOSP-base recovery (i.e lineage recovery, pixel recovery).

I think you're right. I just installed PixelOS recovery on my phone and reinstall PE+ again. And it booted successfully. Thanks for your advice!
