I have been testing another ROM on my swift 2 plus so have not put this new TOS 319I update on. Can you advice on an significant changes to previous build/ version at all please? Thank you.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] kufor:
Is it possible to apply the OTA on rooted ROM with TWRP installed please?

No luck so far ...

Even FlashFire doesn't work.

Do I have to reflash original ROM and apply OTA on stock?

EDIT:

Solved by reflashing latest fastboot image and applying OTA via stock recovery.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack3volution:
This is so frustrating, I'm unable to update...

The OTA updates install but the phone doesn't boot afterwards. It gets stuck in the 2nd orange boot animation.

It's not a dm-verity problem. Magisk also doesn't help.

Anybody else having or had the same problem?

TOS 319I (Recovery Image)
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bjlabuk:
Dimich666

Thanks for the links. Can someone update the Repositories on the first page?

I have updated my phone to TOS 319I and installed the latest open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20171129 package to get the minimum google apps necessary for Play Store to work. Everything working fine and I didn't lose any of my installed apps or files while updating ! Bonus !!
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
I have sent a message to der_dkw to update the op with the official link I got from Wileyfox for TOS 319I, however you only mentioned Dimich666 in your post so I assume you used his google drive link. I don't know if this would be added as der_dkw has only put Wileyfox proved links for recovery zips in the first op post up to now.

The official builds normally come with Google's play store and other apps, I didn't know you could flash a replacement gapps package over this.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bjlabuk:
image45

After flashing the boot.img, recovery.img and system img from the previous version I lost root and TWRP and returned to the stock recovery. This enabled me to sideload the latest TOS 319I Recovery image downloaded from the Wileyfox server. I then reinstalled TWRP and Magisk to regain root etc. I then installed the open_gapps package from [url]http://opengapps.org/[/URL] by downloading the zip file I wanted and transferring it to my sd card. You then install it from TWRP.

When you install open_gapps it will detect which Google apps are already installed and then delete the ones that are

not

in the 'variant' that you have selected. So by choosing the 'pico' variant I opted to have all the Google apps removed except those absolutely necessary for Play Store and the phone to work.

Regards
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jack3volution:
That's what I also did except for just booting TWRP. How is it that the phone still gets stuck in the boot process? Anybody have any idea or suggestions?

Thanks for help
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bjlabuk:
Once you have flashed TWRP , execute the following command:

fastboot reboot (see NOTE below)

You phone should now have TWRP recovery installed.

Note:

Many devices will replace your custom recovery, ie TWRP, automatically during first boot. To prevent this on the Swift 2, after typing 'fastboot reboot' press the ‘Enter/Return’ key on your PC keyboard. Immediately afterwards press and hold the 'Vol. Down + Power key' combo on the phone. Do this while the usb cable is connected to your PC. Wait for about 10 seconds and then release the keys. The phone should now boot into the TWRP homescreen.

Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.

If you get into a Boot loop you may see a message about “DM-verity”. This is preventing you to boot up the phone. In this case try flashing “Magisk” after flashing the recovery image again.

Transfer the magisk zip file from your PC to the top level of your micro SD card. Try flashing TWRP again until you get into the TWRP homescreen. Then install magisk. Wait until the on-screen installation is complete. Once complete reboot your phone and it should start normally.

I have asked Wileyfox for the link. I will keep you updated.

For your info I had Magisk 14.1 installed. Got a notification from Magisk Manager that there was a new version 15.0 to install OTA. I accepted it and after installing it my phone went into a boot loop. Spent several days trying to sort my phone, only to learn online that v15.0 was putting many devices into a boot loop. They have now issued v15.1 to hopefully sort the problem. Downloaded v15.1 from the website and everthing has installed okay. Just a warning to other not to use v 15.0.

[MENTION=6166281]image45[/MENTION] and @der_dkw

Thanks for the TOS319I Fastboot Image.

I've tried to instal the Fastboot Image via the following guide XDA - How to install and use ADB and fastboot

1. Connect your Android device to computer via USB.

2. Ensure USB Debugging mode is ENABLED on Android device.

3. download adb driver

4. unzip adb driver and instal it

5. Extract the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Tool file to your PC

6. Download your RecoveryFile.img file or full fastboot Rom file and put under the extracted folder “ Fastboot or Minimal ADB and Fastboot ” so all files will be in single folder. (Which I've done with above image file)

7. open folder Minimal ADB and Fastboot, click on " open command window here "

8. Now type following command

adb fastboot

Unlocking the bootloader

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot reboot

Then, adb reboot bootloader

fastboot devices

*** But when I use the fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img and use the downloaded recover image, it says unable to load file name, where the latter part is the filename of the recovery image.

Can you please let me know what should I do?

Thanks in advance
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] bjlabuk:
Sellfy,

The signed Recovery Image and the signed Fastboot Image are both zip files and are used differently.

Using the method you describe above you should transfer the Fastboot image zip file to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.

Unpack the Fastboot image zip file using 7zip (or similar). A new folder will be created within the Minimal ADB... folder.

Within this new folder you will find a boot.img, recovery.img (not the same as the Signed Recovery Image) and system.img

Move these three files out of the folder into the Minimal ADB.... folder.

Now you should be able to go into the Minimal ADB Folder and using the Fastboot command:

Using Fastboot:

First of all enter the command ‘fastboot reboot’. What for it to finish.

Then enter ‘fastboot devices’. You should see an 8 digit alpha/numeric code followed by ‘fastboot’. If not you are not in fastboot.

Now enter ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’. Wait for it to finish.

Now enter ‘fastboot flash recovery recovery.img’. Wait for it to finish.

Next enter ‘fastboot flash system system.img’. Wait for it to finish.

Next enter ‘fastboot reboot’.

That should install the stock TOS319I update.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
Did you ever update to full 7.1.2 stock ROM at all?
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sellfy:
Many thanks [MENTION=3590788]bjlabuk[/MENTION] for your prompt and comprehensive response. :):good:

I've followed your guides step by step, however regretfully the boot.img command has the following error,

target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes

sending 'boot' (13825 KB)...

OKAY [ 0.448s]

writing 'boot'...

FAILED (remote: unknown command)

finished. total time 0.463s

which is the same for recovery.img and system.img commands.

I've updated my ADB tool the latest Minimal ADB And Fastboot 1.4.3 and Drivers and I also cleaned my Wileyfox Cache, but no luck.

I wonder if you please do me a favour and let me know what I need to do next?

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I'm trying to install LineageOS 14.1 through TWRP on a Wileyfox Swift 2.

[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] image45:
Yes you install the recovery.zip via TWRP, then reboot and the phone will get stuck on the boot animation screen. This is were you return to TWRP and would install magisk manager normally, however as you wish to return to stock you don't both with magisk and open terminal emulator in TWRP and run the following command

reboot "dm-verity enforcing"

The phone will reboot and then come back to recovery, now stock. If you reboot now from the stock recovery you should boot into none rooted stock ROM with stock recovery however possibility is you will have the red dm-verity warning screen, if so from developer mode enable USB adb debug and from computer within minimal adb and fastboot terminal run the following command

adb reboot "dm-verity enforcing"

Your phone should now reboot with only the bootloader unlock warning screen as verified boot should now display: secure once again. Plus you have a none rooted stock ROM with stock recovery too.

Hope this all helps, work for me last time I had stock running on my device.
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] sam tyler:
Recovery zip file? I thought those on the 1st post were just .IMG's. just a bit more on installing from the fastboot .IMG's. on the bootloader menu,I could select stock recovery,and it did install but I think because I couldn't install the system .IMG when I tried to install the Oreo stock ROM via ADB sideload it aborted(maybe if I put it on my SD card it will install?).i really don't want to push it to far as I think I will brick the phone.
