I hate to bring this thread back to life but, how did you manage to do it? I am in the exact same situation but bootloader 4.23. Did you manage to install the ROM through Nexus Root? Or platform tools?
Any help is appreciated.
I am attempting to flash the factory image. Found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796
ADB devices does not list my device and Nexus Root tool says not found. Not sure what else to do at this point.

I'm assuming you're in the bootloader while trying to do this. ADB stands for "Android Debug Bridge". The bootloader really has nothing to do with the Android operating system, thus ADB isn't running. You need to use fastboot commands. Try "fastboot devices".

Thank you very much, that worked for me. :good:
It seems that unlocking the BootLoader on the WileyFox Swift2+ is even easier.
To unlock the boot loader (WARNING!!! This wipes your user data!!!)
Go To 'Settings - About Phone' Tap 'Build Number' seven times to enable 'Developer Options'.
Go To 'Developer Options' Enable 'Advanced Reboot', Enable 'OEM Unlocking'
...## not sure if these next few steps are even needed!!
Connect to computer running "Minimal ADB and Fastboot"
Open command window as administrator (To prevent Win10 messing around).
Enter command "fastboot oem unlock"
...##
Press the phone 'Power Off - Reboot - FastBoot'
PC detects device and states "Follow instructions on device screen"
Phone screen issues dire warnings about unlocking Bootloader.
Proceed and job done Bootloader is Unlocked (device at this point not rooted).
The stock Swift2+ Cyanogen Rom is no longer available - seek out the LineageOS rom instead
I unlocked my bootloader the other day and those are the same steps I did so I can confirm this works.
I then proceeded to root the phone with SuperSU 2.78. Worked a treat.

Yes initially the only version of SuperSU I could find was v2.46, which kept failing.
Any help? My reboot menu doesn't have a fastboot option. Yes I have advanced reboot and oem unlocking enabled.
Edit: Sorted it. Turns out you have to reboot into the bootloader.

Is it too hard to google your question?
Works on most devices:
1) Turn off device
2) Hold VOLUME UP button
3) Connect device to PC via usb-cable
I installed SuperSU, before that I installed TWRP. Now I am unable to install the latest update "cm-marmite-a1478a0ee9-to-7aa1c797975e-signed"
When I download this update and perform the actual install, it gives an error. Restarting the phone via TWRP recovery gives the same error. I am getting "Error 7"
So no I want to revert back, to get rid off SuperSU and TWRP to install all updates and then later root the device with TWRP and SuperSU. How do I get the original state of the phone back?
Or do you have any advice how to get the latest update installed?
Thx.

edit: Updating to the latest Oreo update (8.1 I think)
---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------
ohhhhhhh, I had to turn the phone off while connected, already running "adb & fastboot" (not just adb) then (phone connected in USB debugging mode) turn off the phone and hold volume up (no need to hole the power key as connected and I got the option to unlock with a warning that I may void the warranty. Then my phone encrypted/re-encrypted itself (I think it was already encrypted).
Now to flash TWRP (3.2 I think) and flash a custom ROM (Lineage 15.1 / 8.1 Oreo) Not sure if I should root or not. And if I do, should I root before installing 8.1?
got damit i never understand how to flash twrp i followed what google said.
fastboot flash recovery XXX.img it does its thing i reboot still no recovery im on stock cm12 ? i think or cm13 android 6.0)

your device isn't picked up by fastboot ...first of all install the very latest version of adb ...using the usual Ubuntu story
sudo apt-get install adb
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get update
sudo reboot
then switch on your device
go to /settings/about/buildnumber
click until developer settings are enabled
go to developer settings
toggle oem unlock to on
toggle adb to on
WITHOUT SWITCHING OFF
connect device to pc/laptop with original orange wileyfox cable
now your Ubuntu machine
must install drivers and Mount the phone so it should appear as a mounted volume on desktop
now open a terminal
now run the following :
sudo adb
sudo adb devices
now look on your phone and pull down the notification shadse ..make sure you have adb connected and file transfer mode ..if not change from charge to file transfer ...
there should be a pop up window on phone screen asking for permission for adb ..select allways allow and give pernission / authorization ..
now in terminal run adb devices and it should return some value as connected device
run:
adb reboot bootloader
phone will reboot to bootloader
run:
fastboot oem unlock
*use volume up to select yes
**beware will erase DATA ...
***if it doesn't work and adb and fastboot doesn't detect your device it is a driver problem but i haven't used Ubuntu in ages so can't remember steps to update your drivers other than updating the whole adb package
****some ubuntu instructions might be a little off as I've explained previously it's been a while
*****your waiting for device means
-adb service didn't start
+try "sudo adb"
-adb drivers out of date
+try sudo apt-get update
-adb on device not toggled to on
+toggle adb in dev settings
*adb authorization not given **should still see unauthorized device
-bad usb cable
+try another usb cable
-bad usb port
+try a different usb port
_____for clarity double check Ubuntu adb instructions and commands but this should put you on the right track____

don't reboot immediately ..stock recovery will be flashed back over twrp
*i assume you know how to get to fastboot
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
*volume up for yes
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
*make sure you have a copy of twrp called recovery.img in adb folder
when it says sending...
then is says writing ...
then it says done
DON'T REBOOT
UNPLUG USB
***MANUALLY BOOT TO BOOTLOADER USING VOLUME UP AND POWER
**** IN BOOTLOADER SELECT "RECOVERY"
you should then just wait on wileyfox first time it takes a minute or two don't know why then
it should boot to twrp
***you can take stock boot.img and patch it with magisk
-use: fastboot flash boot boot.img
-then you will have magisk and rooted
-using twrp apk or something like root rasher or flasher ..give apk root permission
-download twrp ..flash with apk from inside system ..after flashing select yes to reboot directly to recovery
Thanks very much, I've unlocked my bootloader now! Onto the TWRP, Magisk and LineageOS business now

okay no problem
*i know everybody likes lineage and its usually more stable and the base for many custom roms
however just my 2cents worth ...i tried all the roms for our device ..but the by far the best for me was following the tutorial on how to make our device treble compatible ..
Then ...after 3-4 months of trying different treble GSI's i have stopped on Viper Official Pie 64bit A-only treble system.img ... at least give it a try after trying out lineageOs ..
you might thank me .
I can't get my device to show up usb debugging is on, Advanced Reboot', 'OEM Unlocking' etc. I've been trying for hours and hours. It shows up to transfer files if I want that mode so my PC is recognising it, but it doesn't seem to have drivers for adb. I've tried installing google usb drivers and also this: https://afterthoughtsoftware.com/posts/using-adb-with-wileyfox-swift
sorry if I haven't explained clearly, I'm just so sleepy from going around in circles. :|
I've rooted phones before and never had this issue. please can anybody help?
edit: have fixed I think! did two things at once so not sure which. I revoked usb devices so that my computer would have to ask permission again to connect (or something like this) and also clicked a thing on my PC to allow it to update what I think said driver icons automatically, which I wouldn't have thought would help, but it seemed to find the adb driver this time. I'd probably make more sense if it weren't 1am. :|
When i got my Swift 2 X, it came updated with 8.1 Oreo out of the box and the issue I had was unlocking the bootloader.
Sure fastboot oem unlock unlocked so I could flash recovery and roms but whenever I tried flashing a bootloader via fastboot, it gave me "FAILED (remote: Critical partition flashing is not allowed)". So that part was still locked.
This I fixed way back after searching around on my own about it but since the solution to this aint mentioned around here and I can't be the only one who have encountered this I think, I am just gonna add it in here.
There are now other commands to unlock your device, fastboot flashing unlock that does the exact same thing that fastboot oem unlock does and fastboot flashing unlock_critical is the command that unlocks the bootloader.
Both commands prompts you with the usual to confirm unlock and wipes your data.
It doesn't matter if you already unlocked the device with the oem command or flashing command, fastboot flashing unlock_critical should be able to unlock the bootloader either way.
My swift was also at 8.1 I had no problem unlocking the bootloader.

Doesn't seem that many who have this lock on their bootloaders, the only ones I could find here who had locked bootloaders the same way as I had are in the LineageOS 14.1 thread.
So at least I am not alone with that but sure makes me wonder how it is so for some while others not.

Hi,
Just got an ZUK Z1 from one of my clients and the problem with the device is bootloops when trying to reach OS.
this issue came all of a sudden.
I managed to get into recovery and fastboot modes successfully but cmd won't show any serial after "fastboot devices" command but adb devices (while i'm in recovery mode via Aplly update from adb") showing serial accordingly and identify device.
when trying to push twrp or an update to CM OS in order to fix probable system files cmd replied
error: locked
i assuming it's the locked boot-loader.
even in wondershare mobilego the process stuck in 50%
i just need to backup client data.
Thanks for your kindly help,
- Oria, Israel.

I have still allways the same Problem with rooing from my P8 lite.
I got today a new update with EMUI 4.03.
After the update I got the message that my phone is rooted and it is dangerous.
Root checker basic shows the message "Sorry! Root access is not proberly installrd on this device"
SuperSU shows the message "Root undetected"
How can I root my P8 Lite correct? who can help me?
many thanks.
Sorry for asking:
1.Does your USB cable/port work good?
What does fastboot devices command says are your devices listed?
2.Does your bootloader truly unlocked?(i running ALE-L21C432B614 and bootloader writes unlocked even if locked i think its a bug)
What is the current output of fastboot oem unlock <your bootloader unlock code>?

I think the USB-Port and cable is ok.
1.) Is start my P8 lite with comand "adb.exe reboot bootloader" in fastboot&rescue mode.
The P8 lite screen shows:
"fastboot&rescue mode
Please connect Usb Cable to your Computer and Open Hisuite
More Information:
http://zh.ui.vmall.com/emotiondownload.php?mod=restore
reboot_enter_fastboot_common_func
green Android Picture
Phone Unlocked
Keep Pressing Volume Up to Exit this Mode"
2.) I will download the twrp with command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
twrp.img is "RecoveryTwrpV3.0.2.img".
3.) after start the fastboot command shows the prompt the following messages
"C:\fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
< waiting for device >"
and nothing happens anymore.
The UniversalAdbDriverSetup.msi Drivers are installed on my PC.
My current Phone Build: ALE-L21C432B614
EMUI: 4.0.3
Android 6.0
I have no a solution for my problem for root my phone.
Go to fastboot mod and after you see the fastboot&Rescue mod screen run this command in your pc:
fastboot devices
If fastboot detects your phone you should see your serial number.
If not you probably will see nothing in the command line on your PC.
Give me the output please
can you please tell me how can i get build number using adb bootl loader

UPDATE:
I successfully unlocked the bootloader, flashed twrp, rooted, updated kernel and roms, tweaking gpu cpu for performance in pubg etc, greenify, flashify, power nap everything.
xposed framework take you in bootloop for this device.
now i am on kernel mk2000, superv20 rom, h91810u, 7 nougat.
if in future anyone feels any problem i am always here.
remember: linus is your friend for this device, and windows 10 suck.
and
sudo $(which fastboot) did miracles for me....

Hello everyone.
i am new here and i am sorry in advance if i did something wrong. i will come directly to the point.
model number: LG V20 T-MOBILE VERSION, H91820H, NON USA, Currently on oreo android 8.
we are not talking about any kind of roms kernels roots or anything here. just a simple question. " can this model's boot loader be unlocked ? like ever ? or not "
cause i have tried everything, when i say everything i mean everything. followed several posts on internet videos on you tube posts on XDA, tried using multiple PCs, multiple data cables, multiple drivers but for some reason i don't know what, this model's boot loader cannot be unlocked.
THE ERROR:
<WAITING FOR DEVICE> till eternity.
what i have done till now ?
1. lg drivers installed.
2. adb drivers installed with adb fastboot files.
3. updating legacy android adb interface driver, done.
4. went in to boot loader then connected the data cable and updated driver, done.
5. usb debugging oem unlock options activated, done.
6. restarted pc multiple times to update drivers, done.
we all know all it takes is 3 easy commands to unlock bootlaoder
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
but in my case i always stuck at 2nd command. waiting for device is shown and nothing happens.
then i ran command, adb devices>> it shows
List of devices attached
adb server is out of date. killing...
* daemon started successfully *
LGH9182bfc6bdc device
next i put the command, fastboot devices and nothing is shown i just go to the next line... c:\adb>
so this is for sure that my device is not connected to the fastboot.
now my only question is, can this device bootloader unlock or not ? so that i stop pushing my limits.
any help will be appreciated.
regards.

To be very precise after following the first step while unlocking the bootloader in the second step when we type fast boot devices it should show some hexadecimal numbers and it should confirm us that our device is in the fastboot mode but in my case whenever I type this command nothing happens that means my device is not recognised to go in the bootloader this is the main problem there is no point in following any of the posts if you cannot complete the very first stage of unlocking your bootloader if you can figure out what exactly is the problem I will be thankful to you because I have followed every step possible I've updated every ADB drivers LG drivers but nothing is helping out as even before starting the procedure of unlocking the bootloader my device is not going in the fast boot also I noticed one thing when I try to go inside the bootloader screen before that in my device manager it is shown as composit device but after that I think it gets disconnected fastboot oem unlock cannot work as it gives a message of waiting for the device after going are using the command ADB reboot bootloader so my problem is the command fastboot oem unlock is pretty useless as it waits for the device and it's stuck there forever please help me out if you can I will be thankful to you regards

Did you downgrade to software version H91810P? Because that should be the first thing you have to do to get everything else to work afterwards.

Thanks for the reply.
Can you please clear me one thing. To downgrade from h91820h to h91810p you need to unlock bootloader if i am not wrong. And in that case we will be back to square 1.
Its not about installing custom rom kernel recovery root or anything. Its only about unlocking the bootloader which i cannot do.
I hope you understand my pain.
I just want to unlock my bootloader thats it.
It used only 3 commands.
1. Adb devices - shows my device.
2. Fastboot devices - no fastboot device found.
This is the problem. When you cannot find any fastboot device even updating driver by going inside the bootloader the entire mission gets failed.
I cant find any solution for this. I dont know for what reason my device cannot be listed in fastboot mode.

fastboot doesn't work when the phone is booted up
adb reboot bootloader
followed by fastboot devices
Note: flashing the 10p kdz does not require the bootloader be unlocked
it requires you have patched LGUP
Example:
D:\fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
LGUS99740047103 device
D:\fastboot>adb reboot bootloader
D:\fastboot>fastboot oem device-id

As clsA said, flashing firmware does not require an unlocked bootloader.
Look at parts 1 and 2 of the other step by step guide here:

Thanks for the solution. May be this is it. All the time i have been doing it wrong.
Solution : flashing the 10p kdz does not require the bootloader be unlocked
it requires you have patched LGUP.
I will downgrade from 20h to 10p now and will give you feedback on this soon. Thanks a ton for showing a noob like me the right direction to work.

lgup error 0x2bc invalid command response code = 0x80000202 at 4 percent while flashing.
did i just brick my phone now ? as it says dont unplug until you are done and we have been getting same error again and again.
used the provided kdz file flashing as an upgrade.
ok so the new problem is... may be i was trying to flash h91810p naugaut on to a oreo h91820h
and if i am not wrong at this stage i messed up pretty bad my phone is stuck in donwload mode wont boot up and i need to flash back 20h again to get out of this mess. can anyone hlp me ....
i just wanna know h91810p downgrading from 91820h is possible or not ? cause one is naugaut and one is oreo.
UPDATE:
i was flashing wrong h91810p thats why it was showing error. on another website i got the file compatible to my phone t mobile version and flash was successful.
now i am on h91810p software version andriod 7.
problem UPDATE:
i still cant unlock bootloader. same problem as before downgrading from h91820h.
adb devices shows device.
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices gives no result.
phone cannot enter in fastboot mode. the problem still remains the same even after changing the software.

hello clsA
"
D:\fastboot>adb devices
List of devices attached
LGUS99740047103 device
D:\fastboot>adb reboot bootloader
D:\fastboot>fastboot oem device-id
after this it only says waitng for device"
now i am on h91810p as i was instructed. can you please help.
its all happening the same way it was happening when was on h91820h.
fastboot devices cannot be found.
once it reboots in bootloader then it should detect a fastboot device but it doesnot and adb is also lost there.
kindly help.
NEW UPDATE:
my lg v20 now on software h91810p is actually a T MOBILE version. and when i researched more about it i found out T MOBILE deliberately locks the boot loader of many devices and its unlockable.
possible work around can be if the software version installed on your phone can some how be an international version of your ROM, then only you can unlock the bootloader else none of your commands will work. now i am trying to flash this phone using an international ROM version if i succeed i will update. but according to my knowledge flashing other roms other than t mobile ones will definitely give errors in LGUP.

Do not flash another model's firmware onto the H918! Doing so will permanently brick your phone. The H918 in particular is incompatible with all other variants' software. Also, flashing H918 firmware onto any other model will also brick that phone.

Did you make the Linux USB boot stick
Are you following the guide at all?
PART 3: CREATING A BOOTABLE LINUX USB USING FWUL
DOWNLOAD FWUL_v2.7_x86_64_15GB.zip FROM THE LINK BELOW AND EXTRACT THE IMAGE FILE SOMEWHERE IN YOUR PC.
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=214529
DOWNLOAD RUFUS FROM BELOW AND INSTALL
https://rufus.akeo.ie/
INSERT A PEN DRIVE IN YOUR PC AND RUN RUFUS.
INSIDE RUFUS SELECT THE IMAGE FILE AND SELECT START (AFTER SELECTING START SELECT DD MODE IN THE DIALOGUE BOX) TO CREATE A BOOTABLE PEN DRIVE (WARNING: THIS WOULD FORMAT YOUR PEN DRIVE)
NOW YOU SHOULD BOOT YOUR PC FROM THE BOOTABLE USB STICK WHICH YOU HAVE JUST CREATED
THIS WOULD MAKE YOUR PC RUN LINUX OS
TYPE PASSWORD AS linux AND ENTER
