Thanks, wish I had found this 2 hours earlier! I had been downloading the OTA update but it was failing to install. Spent ages searching my phone for the location of the download without success. Eventually connected my phone to my laptop and did 'adb logcat' - found the URL of the OTA File download "http:\/\/ota-files.wf.bsp.ninja\/marmite\/wf-marmite-8eec3af77b-to-0fcf4099d0-signed.zip". Changed 'User Agent' as described, put the URL in the address bar and hit enter and hey presto! Good to have a repository to refer to.

Hi

I'm already on TOS163B. Can I just sideload the TOS208G OTA zip? Without reflashing the boot, recovery and system images from TOS163B?

The images from TOS208G are not available.?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] H2Oxide:
Thanks for this.

I managed to grab the TOD208G OTA. Flashing the zip in TWRP did not work though. I got an unexpected fingerprint error (6.0.1 instead of 7.1.2). I flashed the last available debloater on TOS163B (which worked fine), but that probably has got me in trouble now. Is there any way to fix this easily, without having to root and remove all the debloat stuff manually?

(... I dream about Lineage 14.1)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
We all do, I tried an unofficial build however no WiFi yet :crying:

Even with an official build we would still have the unlocked bootloader warning screen and the dm-verity screen that threatens to switch your phone off in 30 seconds if power not pressed. I am sure it only gave you 5 seconds then just continue to boot when running on the Cyanogen ROMs

I am sure there is some ADB the resolve this for the oneplusone phones.

After initial boot the ROM got stuck on the white splash screen. After I installed Magisk via TWRP flashable zip it worked so must need dm-verity switch off.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] quixoticduck:
I never updated back at the end of 2016 because I was unsure if it was a good idea but now I've become annoyed by it constantly asking me to (OTA UK). Should I update to cm-marmite 460.6 MB like it's asking me to? And then I suppose it will pick up and ask me to install the updates since? Thanks.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
It needs to be what you want, I flashed the cm-13.1.4-ZNH2KAS5RM-marmite-signed-5175bd793a.zip then removed the cm updater to stop it prompting me to move to the next update as it would eventually have you on current build if you accept all the updates.

I flashed cm-13.1.4 as I found it the most stable Cyanogen Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM and I wanted xposed framework.

However like I said at start of post what do you need from your phone/ android version?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] quixoticduck:
Thanks, I see what you mean, about it being personal preference. The last couple years I've stepped away from rooting and flashing roms, so right now I suppose all I really want is a stable safe version. Back in 2016 I remember people being worried about the OTA update released right after Cyanogenmod's end, with people thinking the new update might be suspicious (why I never updated, and then stopped following things). So if it turned out that the OTA update was fine then I suppose the easiest and safest way to stop it bugging me about the update might just be to update xD as long as there's no risks (besides the basic risk that any update could bring). Probably makes it easier for any further updates too if any appear.

I hadn't heard of the xposed framework, sounds interesting, I'll look into that just in case I want to use it. :)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
You need an unlocked bootloader and custom recovery to install xposed framework. However I can jump between any of the Swift 2 ROMs when ever I wish of course.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] angstdasein:
Currently on the update right before that one, with TWRP and Magisk installed. I found the zip as instructed. Has anybody had success with Flashfire for a small OTA update like this or do you absolutely have to use adb sideload?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bjlabuk:
Don't know whether I can post links to other sites but there are instruction on how to update to 7.1.2 using the OTA file for both rooted and non-rooted devices at

http://www.stechguide.com/install-android-7-1-2-nougat-on-wileyfox-swift-2/
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] H2Oxide:
Any thoughts on this? Can I force a sideload or would that be unwise...
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mdosch:
Sure that's fine.

I really appreciate you collected all the information and created this overview.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack3volution:
Well I finally managed to try the adb sideload and this is what I got.

What's wrong here?

I'm using TOS163B (7.1.2) so I don't know why it says I have 6.0.1 test keys. I'm trying to sideload TOS208G

Any help is much appreciated
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mdosch:
You are using TWRP not stock recovery.

The OTA zips check your device for not being altered (like rooting or using custom recovery) this is why you have to go to a plain stock rom while flashing boot, recovery and system from the fastboot image (not the complete image as it will erase your data as well I assume).

After you have done this boot to stock recovery and adb sideload the first OTA zip then reboot and so on until you are on the latest.

Then you can boot twrp (I recommend booting instead of flashing as for me it complained about my device being altered when I flashed twrp) and root again (as root was lost during this update process).
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack3volution:
Thanks! my mistake. Yeah I still have stock recovery :)

Cheers
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
What's the actual different between booting TWRP and flashing please?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mdosch:
Booting means you boot TWRP temporarily without replacing your stock recovery. Flashing means you replace the stock recovery with TWRP.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack3volution:
Hmm it didn't work in stock recovery either
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mdosch:
Did you apply the OTA zips in the correct order?

Did you alter your devices in any way like rooting or installing magisk?

You are on TOS163B you said. Did you start your device before booting to recovery? For me after sideloading the TOS163B, sideloading of TOS208G failed when I tried to install it instantly so I cleared the cache/dalvik cache booted to Android, then rebooted to (stock) recovery again and successfully sideloaded TOS208G.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
That was quick of them wasn't it!

Is the link to fastboot zip file?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JavaVOBIS:
No :(

It is an OTA package, but it's better than nothing,right?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam tyler:
I take it most people are leaving lineage 14.1 and moving on to Oreo? oh great......
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JavaVOBIS:
It is better to use android 7.1.2, because android 8.1.0 is not stable, even the official.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam tyler:
If you go on Reddit,it looks like a feeding frenzy about Oreo.if the update is that bad why would they screw up thier phone's? don't anyone listen? I just hope updates for lineage 14.1 continue.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] femilovechild:
Spent the better part of a day getting my phone updated to Oreo, only for them to release an OTA two days later! Arghh! Hope someone can get a recovery or fastboot image ASAP.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JavaVOBIS:
I didn't understand something,do you need images for fastboot or recovery to go back to android 7.1.2?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] femilovechild:
No. If all you want to do is go back to 7.1.2, just use any of the fastboot/recovery images listed in the first post (preferably the last recovery image available). My problem was that I was rooted, therefore needed to revert my twrp recovery to stock before I could update with OTA. Now that I am on Oreo, I do not have the fastboot image of Oreo to extract the stock recovery from, so cannot apply the latest OTA for Oreo. Hope that makes sense.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] mdosch:
There is a new OREO Update UOS273C. Can anyone with connections to Wileyfox ask for a fastboot image? Otherwise the procedure for going from TOS319I to UOS273C would need installing 3 zips (at least if you are rooted, if not you can probably directly install UOS273C).
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JavaVOBIS:
You can install TOS373J for fastboot,then OTA TOS373J to UOS273C.

I see there is an updated bootloader with the 8.1 update! Has anyone install with TWRP/ got magisk manager running on Oreo 8.1 at allm
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam tyler:
Is there a stable twrp build for 8.1? and has wileyfox fixed the battery issues?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
Only the one you raised my awareness of?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam tyler:
I thought that build of twrp was in testing stage only?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
As its unofficial, then yes however the posts seemed to indicate it was performing fine.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Talladale:
I have a Wileyfox 2X, stock nougat, TWRP recovery installed and rooted with Magisk. The Oreo update will download but not install; it boots into recovery then stops. I've downloaded the Oreo update zip mentioned above. Is installation just a matter of flashing the zip from recovery or do I need to go through the steps on page 1 and if so with what files?

Alternatively, I've re-read the first post and found where the OTA update file has been stored so can I just flash that zip from recovery and should I do a wipe first?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JavaVOBIS:
You can install TOS373J and then update to 8.1.0.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Talladale:
My Build Number is already TOS373J so can I go ahead and just flash the Oreo zip?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] femilovechild:
Installed here. Runs well. Magisk 16 installed, and also TWRP 3.2.2.0. No problems as far as I know
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JavaVOBIS:
Yes. Download OTA TOS373J->UOS273C and install via adb sideload or stock recovery.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mark-NL:
Sorry for the noob-question. I am on Oreo, but battery life is not what i'd like it to be (not horrible, but 7.1.2 was better) so I'd like to go back to nougat. I have a stock phone (not rooted). Which file do I need?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Talladale:
Not TWRP?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] JavaVOBIS:
You can try using twrp,but I'm not sure what will happen.

---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

To go back to Android 7.1.2,you need to install TOS373J via Fastboot.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
Did you flash magisk straight after installation if the ROM or boot first, then return to TWRP recovery and install magisk then?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] femilovechild:
Straight after the installation, but magiskhide wasn't working, so had to flash it again thru magisk manager
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Talladale:
Further to my conversation above, I tried sideloading the update. It failed with this message.

E3001: Package expects build fingerprint of Wileyfox/Swift2/marmite:7.1.2/N2G48B/0948f7e7c8:uer release-keys or Wileyfox/Swift2/marmite:8.1.0/OPM5.171019.017/0a383a5192:user/release-keys; this device has Wileyfox/omni_marmite:6.0.1/MOB30M/7:eng/test-keys.

I tried both the file mentioned by JavaVOBIS and the update file received by my phone and got the same result. Anyone know what's wrong?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] femilovechild:
You cannot install OTA if you are either rooted or using custom recovery. The only way to upgrade while having a custom recovery is through the use of recovery image, i.e. the ones on the first post. If you need to use OTA, you have to revert to stock recovery.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Talladale:
OK, I think I've got this, flash boot, recovery and system .imgs from the TOS3191 fastboot image and then sideload the update. Presumably I have to sideload the TOS319I to TOS373J update before I can use the Oreo update.

(Please forgive my ignorance and thank you for your patience.)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] femilovechild:
That's the procedure in a nutshell.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam tyler:
That's how I tried to install the stock ROM (still on lineage 14.1) but I came unstuck on installing the system.img even trying to side load the ROM with just the stock recovery never helped.lucky I didn't brick my phone as I was able to boot into twrp (via ADB)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Talladale:
Success!! Eventually. Thanks to femilovechild and JavaVOBIS for advice.

Flashing the system.img got a bit adventurous. The process stuck half way through the first time leaving the phone stuck at the boot image. I tried again and it worked fine. It then occurred to me that, since the phone was essentially back to stock, maybe it could do its own upgrade and indeed it could although it took quite a while.

Phone is now TWRP'd, rooted and debloated, ready for exploration.

Has anyone seen if the new 8.1 Oreo builds have verified boot / dm- verity, like the previous 7.1.2 stock builds did?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam tyler:
Haven't seen it yet (yes got 8.1 to install on my phone,use different port and usb cable,and patience as installing system.img took forever to install-went through six stages)but once it booted up,it was doing some encryption stuff (there was also a timer on the screen counting down 2 minutes) haven't had the battery issue yet,but I find the cable I used to install Oreo on the phone wouldn't let me charge the phone with a fast charger.(spare cable worked with the fast charger) bootloader is still unlocked,but when I tried update via the phones updater app it failed (said unknown reason for fail)so I downloaded the update and updated via stock recovery.now on UOS273C with June security patch.i also checked if twrp 3.2.2.0 works.(only booted into it via ADB, haven't fully installed yet as I've got work,will install tomorrow and with latest magjisk).so far so good.lots of things have changed,but I still miss lineage ?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
There is a new emmc_appsboot.mbn file, bootloader version with new ROM. Without returning to previous TOS version Lineage OS might no longer boot on the 8.1 update!
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam tyler:
sorry,do you mean we can't roll back to 7.1 (lineage) via fastboot(ADB) after installing 8.1? or lineage 8.1 won't be able to install on this phone?

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------

Ok,just booted in twrp(3.2.2.0) to install magjsk,first I tried to backup my rom,and I got the things (in red) unable to mount storage data, unable to mount data/data/twrp twrps and failed to mount data (invalid argument) also twrp could not see internal memory so I had to install magisk via SD card the mount problems came up again, but it did install.when the phone restarted magisk granted lmt launcher superuser rights.so I guess that's working.but I think or maybe twrp 3.2.2.0 doesn't work with 8.1 or there is another version of twrp for 8.1 I can use? or could it twrp is not fully installed?

Yes,you was right about that.just spent a great couple of hours bringing my phone back from the next world! and at some point I got the message my phone is corrupted.somehow I managed to install via fastboot to TOS373J then I downloaded UOS273C via the update app(for some reason it installed) so I can't go back to 7.1 then.but I did see on the lineage 14.1 thread you said to change the bootloader name ref? can that be changed on a comp or a file manager via Android? I still suspect my phone is corrupted,but I learnt a lesson today! ?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
You need to get the emmc_appsboot.mbn file from one of the previous 7.1.2 ROMs like TOS373J or earlier. The recovery images in the first post of this topic, when unzipped allow access to such file.

It can be flashed via the below fastboot command.

fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn

I do not know if the update has modified the system partition in the Swift 2 however, if not then a wipe with TWRP and install of one of the TOS recovery images would then allow for a lineage os ROM to be install after.

1st Post Update

Sorry guys, have been away for a while. I have now updated the first post with all the available Wileyfox links that where scattered in this thread. Hope that helps. :fingers-crossed:

(And btw I had no issues at all with any of the updates...)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
Some of the links now no longer work in the first thread post as wileyfox must have deleted them unfortunately.

Is anybody here interested in the old files anyway?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
Just review the links, and change the relevant ones to host file deleted etc. Some still work so as a repository functionality might as well be retained where possible I guess.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Talladale:
That modded version of TWRP is available here.

Now can someone help me to install it? As mentioned before, I flashed my Swift 2X back to stock Nougat and let it update to Oreo itself. Now whenever I flash TWRP (any version) it reverts to stock recovery when the phone reboots. I've tried various restart methods but no luck so far. On my old Samsung it was a matter of pulling the battery after flashing before rebooting but that's not an option on this phone.

Any advice gratefully received.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
There is something in the boot that replaces recovery with stock. However if you flash TWRP, the install magisk.zip then reboot you keep the custom recovery.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Talladale:
As you were, everyone. It's sorted.

I was using the command from the start of this thread to install recovery, ie,

fastboot boot twrp-filename.img

when I should have used,

fastboot flash recovery twrp-filename.img

Reboot to recovery after installing and all's well.
