Try only flashing the recovery, not the boot.
[Wileyfox Swift] HybrissOL:
Thanks Man
[Wileyfox Swift] Namekok:
Tried this with the Nougat update from Wileyfox itself, it gets installed, but when I try to boot into recovery I get a black screen. When I start up my phone and then reboot again into recovery, twrp has already been replaced by stock recovery. Any help?

Thanks

EDIT: nvm, was me being stupid, didn't unlock bootloader, everything works fine now :)
[Wileyfox Swift] fred_gaou:
Backup folder can be 0 byte

Hi,

Is root required to make a proper backup? I wonder because.

After unlock bootloader and install TWRP 3.1.1 recovery, I made an Nandroid backup on my ext SDcard of a clean unrooted install of MM version of stock Zenfone 2 z00a. All were reported well.

Then I rooted my phone, made my setup, etc. and later I went to check my backup files with different file browser and it resulted the backup folder was zero byte and contained only one 0 byte file named file :cyclops:

I deleted this backup folder, rebooted to recovery and made a new Nandroid backup and this time, the folder is more than 4GB and contains 22 backup files + their md5.

I didn't find a answer on the web of how could I check the backup success and integrity for sure other than trying to restore and see. Is there a way?

Would this issue be related to the unroot state of my system on the first case? Or maybe in the first case the MTP option in Mount was ON I guess before the backup process. The other successful backup was made with this option OFF.

Can MTP option be disabled by default? I always need to turn it off when I need to run some ADB command from PC.
[Wileyfox Swift] pheno1992:
is twrp-3.2.0-0_crackling is your build bro beroid?

i got a problem on it, i cant restore my twrp backup files from twrp 3.1.1-0.

should i make a backup using 3.2.0-0?

Hello, thought I post and see what the state of affairs was. I've spent a day going round in circles to find the /system mount point not getting mounted by twrp is the problem. So far I have:

- Followed the instructions on the Lineage OS wiki (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/crackling/install) and been stuck without an OS (everything appeared to work up-to the /system/ errors)

- Bricked the devices, but fortunately got it back to showing the bootloader

- Browsed the forums and eventually found the stock roms linked (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70510585&postcount=19) and used fastboot to install back to official

Working phone again, but not giving up!

- Found this thread and post number 2 (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=66158015&postcount=2) and updated the bootloader

- Tried all 5 version of TWRP from https://dl.twrp.me/crackling/ - nothing could mount system

- Read some more install guides on this wiki, everything just requires "a custom recovery" or similar

So, I feel I'm missing something. Some step which will make everything work. Re-flashing the recovery to the one from cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling-signed-42f2b8e414 give me a working standard recovery, but as you can't dirty flash Lineage OS over the top I'm no further. Looks like someone else was having trouble with 15 yesterday so I'll cross post there as well.

Thanks!

What worked for me was this (from stock 7.1.2):

Boot into TWRP

Edit /system partition and change it's type to ext4

Flash LineageOS, flash OpenGApps, flash Magisk (for root)

Reboot

I think the key is the changes Magisk makes to the boot partition that allows Lineage to boot without looping, and the change of system to ext4 allows Lineage to install in the first place
[Wileyfox Swift] ma3mc:
Thanks anticoralian! Having /system working as ext4 seem to do the trick. Currently running LineageOS 14.1, GApps and SU :) I also found the long way round if anyone needs step by step instructions: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=73395814&postcount=3. Will try 8.0/15.0 now :)
[Wileyfox Swift] ShiftyBloke:
I've just changed the system filesystem to ext4 but Im still getting stuck at the fastboot screen

The Wileyfox fastboot screen flashes before hand, do I need to role back anything?

Edit: flashed old bootloader and now lineage is on the loading screen, fingers crossed.
[Wileyfox Swift] tgerbi:
Hello,

I tried to flash TWRP to my Swift, but realised I have the old version of fastboot. So I followed the guide in post no. 2

But now TWRP still doesnt boot, I cant boot to fastboot (not through adb, nor the reboot menu —> phone boots to COS) Via power+vol down I can start the cyanogen recovery (but not through the reboot menu!)

I hope that my phone is not a brick and someone can help me!

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I'm trying to install lineageos 15, but have been stuck in a boot loop since unlocking the bootloader.

Been following the advice from here, but still cant get out. Any help would be appreciated.

black screen for fastboot?

Hi,

I am trying to flash my swift, and using fastboot to flash recovery is all good (USB, using apt installed tools from debian). Its fine until I get to the rebooting step (fastboot reboot), at which point the phone reboots, but the screen stays black if I try to enter recovery mode (vol down + power) whilst issuing the reboot from bash.

The only thing I can do at that point is pull the battery.

After pulling the battery, I can re-enter fastboot with vol up + power, and I can reflash, or I can let the boot proceed normally and it returns to the stock wileyfox OS.

Has anyone got a stock wileyfox to work with TWRP - which version of TWRP did you boot with?

I've tried twrp-3.0.0.0-0-crackling.img and twrp-3.2.1-0-crackling.img - both have the same behaviour.

It might be relevant, but the cyanogen recovery doesn't work either - it just hangs with a wileyfox logo.

Edit : reading through this thread a bit more - Beroid has said to another user that he needs to flash to update the fastboot system (https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=70641502&postcount=44 Mine looks like the one on the left)

I'm not clear what the fastboot command to do this is - do I need to "fastboot flash fastboot"? Or do I

fastboot boot imagename

Edit 2: Never mind - I found the instructions on the right panel. I came here due to a search so I hadn't got to that part of the thread.

[MENTION=3849010]beroid[/MENTION]: TWRP 3.2.3 is not able to decrypt and mound /data when using Oreo (which is official now with Lineage for the Swift).

[Wileyfox Swift] OveSentlig:
I'm also unable to flash TWRP 3.2.1 to my Wilefox Swift/Android 7.1.2

Fastboot works and says everything is ok, but after reboot there's the stock recovery anyway.
[Wileyfox Swift] vhick:
You can try after fastboot, remove the battery, then volume down + power. Then wipe all the partitions. You cannot used twrp to stock crackling 7.1.2 rom because the system use squashfs. It always go back to stock recovery.
[Wileyfox Swift] Anahermun:
Hello [MENTION=3849010]beroid[/MENTION] - are you still working on this? Because you seem not to reply on the according github repo. Also no word from you here. I am asking because if you gave up fixing bugs or this encryption bug in particular I wouldn't need to wait and could start looking into other solutions.

But of course I hope you still work on it.

How did you fix this? I have spent the long weekend looking to fix:

"Failed to mount '/system' (No such device)"

TWRP (3.3.0-0) is installed per this post (https://xdaforums.com/wileyfox-swift/help/foolproof-twrp-guide-wileyfox-swift-t3616571/post72537703) and I am trying to install lineage os, which fails with Error 7.

Any ideas?
[Wileyfox Swift] NotATechnician:
Note to self/Frustrated Stranger...

I took the heavy-handed approach, not only wiped the /system partition, but reformatted as ext4 (it was previously splashfs).

This allowed me to flash a LineageOS-based ROM (crDroid, for some reason "stock" Lineage wouldn't work).
[Wileyfox Swift] klaku007:
You need to go back to SW27-WF-CRACKLING-CM-13.1.5-ZNH2KAS7EB-RECOVERY. You Can install it by TWRP. Then when CM 13 will lunch go to recovery again and install linage by sideload(like it said on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/crackling/install) it will stuck at 47% but system will boot normaly.

TWRP + decryption with lineageOS 16

Hi,

I recently updated my phone with LOS16,

I found a problem with the TWRP backup of the data partition. I can not open the data partition backup container file 'data.ext4.win' .

After encrypting the phone, I found, that if I format the data partition with TWRP later than twrp-3.2.1-0-crackling.img , encryption on LOS16 is not working at all, but older versions are doing fine.

After I succeeded with encryption (including external sdcard), I found out that decryption in TWRP is not working at all.

Will a solution arrive with the next versions of TWRP or will there be no solution at all?

Does it make sense to pull the whole data partition(s)? Will this work as a backup?

e.g.

~$sudo adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p31 /userdata_encrypted.img

Can anyone give me a hint? Is there any knowledge missing on my side, or is this the state of the art?

Any clarification is appreciated.

Regards
[Wileyfox Swift] zomgzerg:
You can use the forked TWRP build linked in the LOS wiki, that works with encryption properly https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/crackling/install
[Wileyfox Swift] hschabel:
Hi,

works. Already tried this version - didn't work for me the last time (when encryption had problems as well).

But when I open the containers (TWRP was not flashed, but booted with fastboot)

data.ext4.win

sdcard1.f2fs.win

I get error messages and can not extract the files:

tar: Removing leading `/' from member names

tar: Malformed extended header: missing equal sign

...

...

tar: Malformed extended header: missing equal sign

tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I don't want to try if this is a problem during restore, but maybe anyone knows, if this is just as it should be?

I never backup up encrypted partitions before, but with unencrypted partition, there never were any problems.

Hi guys,

I've seen a similar post to this but the answers didn't fix my problem :/

I want to download now older version of s planner preferably the s4 version to my s7 but I can't find a way to do it.

The s7 version is missing so much content like being able to colour in a whole day instead of just putting a sticker on it. In fact I don't think the s7 s planner even has stickers!

I'm really stuck and have tried a few other apps like Jorte but I know the s4 is the one I need!

Any advice?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironshadow2:
Hello everyone

I'm planning to upgrade to nexus 6p and Im planning to keep it for 3-4 years

So should I worry about slow storage performance?

And how amoled screen ages? Should I worry about burn in on the long term?

And should I wait for the next nexus?

Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
Nexus devices are really long-term phones. I have never had any hardware related issues, in my experience. Even, I still have my Nexus 4 running great at Marshmallow using CM13. Storage seems to be fast enough. I usually transferred 30 GB in a matter of minutes.

Not sure about the AMOLED screen or burns related to it, since everyone here have had their devices running a few months only.

I would say, upgrade, waiting for the next Nexus would be around the end of Q3 or beginning of Q4, long way to go.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
It's as good as and mostly better than most upgrade devices...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
The nexus is a great device, it doesn't slow down, battery is fairly decent, it's a bit big, charging is epic, screen and build quality are both top notch, it'll serve you well for years, no question.

But if I was looking for a phone right now. I'd definitely be looking to get the M10. I think it's the first time HTC will have really nailed it. It's a superb device, not to mention that htc may be doing the next nexus device. So for me, I'd hold fire and see what comes out. Timing is crucial as there will always be a newer and better phone around the corner.

M10 and next nexus 100%
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeterJP:
I just upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy Sii to a Nexus 6p. I decided to get this phone because it's the most recent large screen phone that has good ROM support. Good ROM support adds a few years of life to any phone, so it's crucial if you want to keep your phone for more than 1-2 years.

AMOLED stays quite good. My Sii isn't as crisp as my Nexus 6p but I wouldn't call it terrible (until I broke the glass, that is). Try to pick themes that have mainly blacks: it's better against burn-in (if there is burn-in at all) and it saves battery.

As far as the memory speed is concerned, I have no worries. The Nexus 6p posts speeds in the high range of the previous generation. Of course, the S7 is faster, but it's a new generation. I can tell you that backing up over 5 gigabytes to local storage takes less than minute. That's going to be okay even a few years from now.

You can always wait, but if you want a 5.7" Nexus, you can't go wrong with the 6p now. Prices are going down, too.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ironshadow2:
Thanks for sharing your opinion guys.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clorbag:
I would get a smaller phone. Just my 2c but I do love my Nexus 6p also would get a bigger storage than 32gb I was to broke to go higher
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
In ten years time this phone will still look and work well. But it depends on what you want.

I change my phone either every year or every six months. Depending on device and my mood. (I'm greedy) for example I gave an m9 away when I got my 6p. But later this month I'll give this phone away, because in comparison. This is boring compared to the m10.

That's my thinking.

The m10 will have cm and aosp. But in all honesty, sense simply makes sense, it throws at you what you need, delete what you don't.. Sense had been designed very well.. I'd they nail they camera, then jesus is going to be a bloody monster.

Extra 40 quid out of my pocket. On top of the 25 for my 6p haha.

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

At the end of the day fella. It's down to you. My dad (God bless), wouldn't want the latest and greatest. He'd want stability and functionality. Simply put. What do you want from your phone? Because if it's cheap, cheerful and functional. Then you may already have your phone. The nexus 6p does tick a lot of boxes and it's cheap. Mines 25 quid, unlimited calls and texts, 10GB 4G. No up front cost and I can upgrade 3 months early. :)

5/22: Sorry for not keeping this updated guys.

Promising developments on the Snapdragon 820-based S7/Edge HERE

G5 Root bounty thread HERE

All in all, it looks like root's on its way! Please keep posing any root/unlock related info you see and I'll keep this updated.

UPDATE: It appears that they've achieved root on the T-Mobile variant and a tool should be forthcoming.

No word yet on whether or not this applies to us, but here's hoping!

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlieyd9CP7Q

EDIT: It's confirmed, the bootloader on all of the snapdragon G5's is locked down tight.

It looks like there's not much we can do until someone figures out a way to crack the bootloader.

Sooo, it appears we've got the "Enable OEM unlock" option in our Developer Settings, but so far I've not been able to get the phone into Fastboot mode to actually perform the unlock.

I do have the following observations if they'll help anyone:

With the phone powered off, the following options are available:

Power+Volume Down - Boot to Recovery

Power+Volume Up+Volume Down - Displays Phone Identity (IMEI, etc.)

Volume Up+Connect to PC - Download Mode

Attempting to reboot to bootloader via adb command or from the stock recovery results in a normal system boot.

Hope somebody can use this.
[Sprint LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] blarg:

When you say it wiped your phone, did it completely wipe the system partition? or did it do a factory reset type wipe?

My phone got all weird during activation and it thinks it activated even though I get no service, when I did a factory reset from inside the OS, when the phone turned on, it assumed it was already configured on the network and actually asked me to manually put in date and time and didn't ask to sign into a google account or connect to wifi, I'm trying to do a full factory reset to try and get it to go through the activation process again.
