Can you provide instruction on how to disassemble the phone. Also where to order spares from. The digitiser on my Storm is cracked and Wileyfox want to charge me the price of a new phone to replace it.

Eh, sorry mate, I don't know how to disassemble the device and no one else sure as hell knows how to do it (at least on other websites). There are only reviews and unboxing experiences of the Wileyfox Storm and guides on how to flash ROMs, root and recoveries, etc. But some member will help you out, surely! If nobody seems to be knowing the issue, pm a forum moderator so that he/she can guide you to some links/methods. :fingers-crossed: Best of Luck!

Downgrade to android 6.0 marshmallow
Hello everyone, well recently my phone updated to android 7.1.1 and I didn´t like very much, so could help me and tell me if is there a way to go back to android marshmallow 6.0, just like it came when I bought it. Is it possible and does anyone know how to do it?
Okay so im trying to get lineage Os on my phone, this OS isn't working at all i get in bootloops etc. So i tried AOSP extended and i managed to get this working. But when i try to install gapps or try to flash Super su or magisk it returns error 1. The problem is in the recovery probably. So i tried to flash / boot a different TWRP version but all of the other versions give me this error: FAILED (remote: dtb not found). I would appreciate any help i can get i am hardstuck because i cant get a proper working TWRP recovery working and the only rom i am able to flash is AOX but without gapps that isnt worth much.
Thanks in advance.

First of all, what build of LineageOS are you trying to install??? If it is dated 12.07.2017 or 05.07.2017 - it won't work at all. That builds are broken. Use 28.06 or 21.06 build.
Secondly, what TWRP version do you use? I installed LOS via TWRP 3.1.0.0.
Newer version is available now.
And what bootloader version do you have on your Storm. I mean what stock ROM was installed before installing TWRP.

It seems to me, AEX is pre-rooted and comes with magisk pre-installed. When I installed that - only gapps were necessary.
Gapps need to be installed immediately after installing ROM, without any reboot.

I was using 05/07 build so that explains that. Im using TWRP 3.0.3.0 Kipper, but i can't find newe TWRP builds for the wileyfox storm, if you could give me some links that would be great. Stock rom was android 7.1 i believe and bootloader version is 'kipper-N-g2253387'. When i installed AEX via my (probably corrupt) TWRP recovery it says it also flashed Magisk but once the phone starts and i go to the magisk app it says im unrooted and so does rootchecker say. I think my biggest problem is with the TWRP recovery. If you could get me the download links of the versions your using that would be great.
Here you can get TWRP

Thanks to kligli from 4pda
Maybe the bootloader from 7.1-wileyfox is not compatible with Lineage OS.
Before flashing TWRP and LOS, I rolled back to COS 13.1.5 official Wileyfox ROM via fastboot. So I don't really know whether it is compatible or not.

So i flashed the twrp 3.1 and that works, it installs gapps now and no error with lineage OS, im gonna boot phone soon hopefully lineage will start to, i didnt know what gapps to flash but i tried the arm64 because i read it somewhere. But isn't the Storm ARM?
Use ARM64 - 7.1 - nano or pico GApps. Lineage official site said it works even without any GApps, but I have not tried that.
So I just bought a wileyfox storm few days ago and am on 7.1.1 what is the rooting method thanks.

Hi Guys
Someone of you have audio problems on whatsapp ( with integrated and bt mic ) when recording audio? ( noise and metallic audio recording )

Well you all would have already know that-↓
Lineage 15 is released for our Z2 Plus and is also available for download
I tried to install that rom
But I was getting error 7 and then error 6 !!
But Somehow I managed to get rid from it installed the rom successfully as well as gapps but it's not booting up
:crying:
And yes I how did I manage to install it?
I was getting error 7 and error 6 then I opened the "update script" file into the rom and deleted all asserts coding and even then it did not work. So after trying for 2 to 3 times it installed easily but was not booting up.
Just want that if you guys can check it and somehow it boots up

How did you finally manage to install the rom? Did you succeed? You did not write clearly. And where are the files located?
Wait for Oreo releases of the XDA Devs here instead of flashing untrusted stuff from the internet.
Z2 Plus is not officially supported by Lineage OS for now, so possibility of getting early builds is kind of unlikely, so please verify the source of the download once and refrain from flashing anything thats not released by our devs for now
I am new to XDA and That's why I was not permitted to add any external link to the rom (files) itself.
If I still can add external link so please tell me how to do it
And yes I how did I manage to install it?

calm yourself and just gently show patience.
the devs here on XDA are working on Oreo, check the Offical AEX thread, Davide stated that the next build is going to be Oreo.
I wouldn't flash any ROM without having the ability to see the source code atleast. The site you found the ROM at does not look legitime to me at all.
Who knows what it will do/did to your device.
I mean if you dont care..

Hello XDA,
I have been using Samsung phones all my life , Rooted (odin) a lotta phones installed countless custom roms and finally i thought its time for pure android experience . I bought a moto g4 plus from a friend of mine and have been going through the g4 + forum for 2 days now . I have not got the slightest of idea how you root / install custom rom on this device . Its so different from how you do it on a Samsung device so finally I have decided to ask for your help .
Info I would like to share :
1.The boot loader is locked
2.The device is a XT1643
3. 3 GB / 32 GB
4. December 1 , 2017 security patch
5. NPJS25.93-14-13
6. There was a OTA update when I received the phone which I didn't update
As mentioned earlier It looks like I am a complete noob when it comes to this device and I would need all the possible help I can get .
If anybody would be kind enough to guide me through this initial learning phase I will be very grateful and would even share my whisky ( which I usually don't do )
If you need any more information please ask
Thanks and Regards

Hello Mate
As mentioned above I have been searching the forum for almost 2 days before I thought of asking for help . I did go through the thread( that you have mentioned ) earlier today but it looks a bit old to me . The link on how to flash twrp comes back with a 404 error . The last few posts are helpful (as it deals with the same build) but again as am new to the particular device It would be helpful if someone could give me a noob friendly procedure . I am not here to break the rules just trying to learn without bricking my device

Flashing TWRP:
>>> Flashing TWRP or Rooting will void your warranty. Please ask anything before doing, if your not fully confident on what to be done. <<<
Get the TWRP image file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...p-twrp-3-0-2-2-recovery-moto-g4-plus-t3386586
Next, get the adb and mfastboot from https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5jlU9JnLAZGbVU0UzJ3N3p4X2M/view?usp=sharing
Unzip the file and place the image file inside the extracted folder.
Reboot to Bootloader (power off, then press the power and volume down buttons simultaneously).
Open a new command prompt or terminal window and do the following:
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery twrp_*version*_athene.img

Sorry for being so short earlier. We have quite a few members here who constantly post issues without using the search function.
You can try to post I quoted above to flash TWRP. It's fairly straight forward.
Are you planning on flashing a Nougat ROM or are you going the adventurous route and flashing an Oreo ROM? The TWRP version mentioned in the quoted post should be fine for flashing Nougat and 32-bit based Oreo ROMs, but you'll need 64-bit TWRP for 64-bit Oreo ROMs.
Use this as a reference for 32-bit and 64-bit Oreo ROMs: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/oreo-roms-table-t3717226
64-bit TWRP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...recovery-twrp-3-2-1-unofficial-touch-t3722206
Once you've flashed TWRP, you can either flash different versions through TWRP itself or through the Play Store app.
As far as ROMs, I'd recommend Official Lineage OS 14.1 for Nougat: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/development/rom-cyanogenmod-14-1-t3522101
And I'd recommend Official AICP 13.1 for Oreo: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...om-aicp-13-1-o-8-1-0-official-weekly-t3731269 (You'll need to download the 20180212 build since most recent builds either have a broken camera or won't boot.)
Any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

I am going to try the Oreo builds as I have never got a chance to try it on my previous devices so I guess I will be using a 64bit version of twrp.
This is what am planning to do :
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Flash an official version of TWRP
2.a Take a backup
3. Flash a custom kernel through twrp
4. Flash Super Su / Magisk
5. Flash a 64 bit version of twrp using TWRP
6. Flash a custom ROM
Please correct me if I am wrong
Thanks a lot for the detailed guide

If you want 64bit Oreo roms it's a little bit different
1. Unlock the bootloader
2. Flash a 64 bit version of twrp
2.a Take a backup and safe it off your phone
3. Flash a Oreo 64bit custom ROM
3.a flash gapps package arm64 (8.0 or 8.1 depending on rom version)
4. Flash magisk 15.3
If you want to root the stock nougat rom steps 1-4 of your list are correct.

Not quite. You'll want to go in this order:
1. Unlock bootloader
2. Flash TWRP
3. Backup
4. Wipe (Wipe/Advanced Wipe; ART/Dalvik, System, Data, Cache)
5. Flash ROM
6. Flash Gapps
7. Reboot
8. Go through setup wizard and let everything settle for ~10 minutes
9. Boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU or Magisk (I would suggest Magisk), then flash kernel and reboot
You'll need to flash the unofficial 64-bit TWRP mentioned in my previous post to flash a 64-bit Oreo ROM, otherwise you'll get an error message when flashing ROM.
You'll also need to use unofficial Gapps since there aren't any official Gapps for 8.1 just yet. I'd recommend either mini or micro here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/unofficial-opengapps-8-1/files/arm64/20180225/
You should be able to flash the most recent Magisk located here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/beta-magisk-v13-0-0980cb6-t3618589
If you do flash a custom kernel, I'd highly suggest Frostbitten: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...s-frostbitten-kernel-moto-g4-g4-plus-t3649155

That is true, however for our devices we have generally been issued the same security patch level regardless of region. It may be different builds for particular regions (e.g NPJS25.93-14-13 for India, Brazil and EU, and NPJ25.93-14.7-3 for US) but they are both the December 2017 security patch.
Regardless, we've still yet to see an OTA newer than December.

3. Took a backup of everything
4. flashed ElementalX-G4-2.00.zip
5. flashed Magisk 16.0
reboot : No sim cards detected
After which I flashed lineage-14.1-20180219-nightly-athene-signed.zip and the gapps provided
experienced the same error again .
uninstalled magisk and flashed the latest Super Su (V2.82) with no positive results
not sure what went wrong ...is there any way out of it ?

First, I'm a little confused about the fact that you flashed that version of TWRP instead of the one located here: https://dl.twrp.me/athene/
Second, I've never had that happen when flashing, so I'm not really sure what to recommend. If I had to guess, I would say the best route would be to restore your backup and see if the SIM is detected.
I have found at least one thread with a similar issue; might be worth a look: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/how-to/fix-sim-card-issue-t3751679

I have a problem with Lineage 14, a lot of ghost touch and problems with Nova launcher.Since I'm a stupid and didn't TWRP BEFORE installing Lineage, and since I was lucky with a "casual" driver install (as said in another post, tulip worked only after I installed a Lenovo Qualcomm drivers), in a nutshell, does somebody has "B2017GV1.2.0B13" EU stock flashable ZIP to avoid to reinstall TWRP? Maybe can someone make a backup of his stock clean B13 system with TWRP and share? Thank you very much!
Mod Edit: rude quote removed
I trust in mods, I know that IF this could be the wrong section they will move it.In the meanwhile I got a "thank you" in less that 24 hours from the post so maybe I wasn't that stupid posting here and other people are looking for the same in the same section...
Yes, your question belonged in the "Q & A" section (I moved it to the correct section).

I have a problem with Lineage 14, a lot of ghost touch and problems with Nova launcher.Since I'm a stupid and didn't TWRP BEFORE installing Lineage, and since I was lucky with a "casual" driver install (as said in another post, tulip worked only after I installed a Lenovo Qualcomm drivers), in a nutshell, does somebody has "B2017GV1.2.0B13" EU stock flashable ZIP to avoid to reinstall TWRP? Maybe can someone make a backup of his stock clean B13 system with TWRP and share? Thank you very much!

I'm not sure I correctly understand what you need - but does the zip offered on

when you click on "Software Update Android 7.1 Nougat B13" help you?
I'd love to do a backup myself but I currently can't get TWRP installed, sorry.

Thank you, but as said I was so randomly lucky installing TWRP -due to some driver issues- that I need someone that could make a nandroid backup with TWRP otherwise those official update files will erase my actual TWRP recovery
Anyhow, the Lineage 14 guy is allready working on lineage 15, so maybe I will whait and try the new lineage, maybe in the meanwile I will try other roms.
Actually I don't know if it's the lineage 14 problem bounded to my hardware, I had not this problem before installing it, maybe those ghost touch will remain even after flashing a nandroid backup of B13.
Anyhow if you ore someone else will install TWRP what I need it's just a nandroid backup (without you apps and you stuff, obviously, hehehe)
Thanky you.

Dear ris, I really appreciate your serch, but if you read the entire thread (4 posts) you'll find that someone else already posted the link and THAT link is to UPGRADE to B13 with the official recovery, is not a .ZIP flashable with TWRP recovery.
I think I was pretty clear in the thread title.
I just need someone with TWRP that can make a nandroid backup of a clear B13 and post it, so I can flash it back with TWRP.
Thank you for trying anyway, but it looks like I'm not able to explain myself or pople tht have Axon 7 Mini are new to TWRP and nandroid backup
In the stock thread they removed the stock recovery link since is very dangerous (?) so I can't even come back to stock AXON 7 mini with that file
Ok flashed B12 EU from other thread and the missing recovery.img (removed since dangerous) was flashed with twrp from the B13 upgrade.Than the phone was stuck at ZTE start logo, I update with SD and recovery to B13 and everything went fine, no more ghost touch, I'm afraid is due to TWRP or magisk, since now that is 100% stock I have no more problems! Wil try to root with tulip and patched boot from magisk, let's see is the problem is the root or the TWRP in European version from g&arbest so OP, you can close the thread, and thank to people who try to help!

Do you by any chance still have a copy of that update? All ZTE update sites are down. I really need to flash a stock rom and can't find one. B12 will do the trick too...
a user sent me a PM with a link to a Russian forum that may contain roms for both T560 and T561.
I can see links for CM 11 to 13 and Lineage 14 but I am not sure if these are actual roms, fix or bug reports.
So anyone here speak Russian?
link here: MOD Edit :- Links Removed
Let's discuss here
Was able to download the firmware for CM 13 (MM 6.0.1) and Lineage 14 but haven't flashed them yet since the link for boot.img for the roms is dead. hmmm
Lineage 14: MOD Edit :- Links Removed
CM 13: MOD Edit :- Links Removed
I tried cm12.1, 13, 14.1 in my sm-t560.
Cm12.1 it works but then it restarts
CM 13 no bugs
lineage 14.1 no works

Hi so CM 13 is ok from the following links? Did you need to flash the boot.img?
I read you said no bugs but to be sure, does the USB OTG work on the CM 13 still?
Can you lay down what you did exactly. Thanks buddy!

Do not install the boot.img.
OTG works.

Will just do a backup and flash this. We can talk about features here as well so others will know. I have a T561
Are you using TWRP 3.0 on your T560? It's a requirement for flashing lineage 14.
However, I'm using T561 and I can't find a compatible TWRP version 3.0 for my device.
Will try to flash CM 13 now. Will update.

3.0.2-0, the one that is published here.
Yes I saw T560 has a TWRP version 3. However T561 doesn't have it and the one on the Russian forum seems pouting to a dead link. Will try to contact the author. He was the one who sent me a PM.
Anyway, so CM 13 worked for me. Still testing but I find the animations a little sluggish. Not sure but in the early days of Android ROM flashing it was advised to let a new rom settle for a couple of hours, even days. I will be patient with this. It's a fresh sight over TouchWiz.
Anyway quite happy I found a working rom after months of searching (CM 13).
All essentials are working so far.
Wifi
USB OTG
Camera
Sim (t561)
USB MTP seems broken. My laptop can detect it and shows as removable storage but it doesn't show on the windows explorer. Not sure what's going on. Anyway not a biggie I can use the OTG to transfer files.
Attaching some pictures here.
Will update on performance.

Do you have the img of 14.1?
Nope non, haven't tried flashing lineage 14 since it says it requires TWRP 3.0 which I don't have.
How do you find CM 13 so far? Wonder if the lineage 14 OS is much faster. Haven't heard from the creator yet. He did mention he isn't as active here.
One thing I noticed is the CM 13 (marshmallow) does not support moving of app from internal to partitioned SDcard via App2SD or Link2SD.
Not sure if it's a Marshmallow thing (adoptable storage) or a rom thing.
Thoughts?
Edit:
Moving2SD isn't supported but linking to SD is.

All thanked for Ma3a_XaTa
Wow thank you for this. Yes he was the one who sent me a message. Do I need to flash this via Odin or flashing it via existing TWRP is ok? Have you tried Lineage 14?
EDIT:
Flashed the TWRP 3.0 via TWRP 2.8. Will update if Lineage 14 is ok.
EDIT:
The device boots up on Lineage 14 but I am always notified of the following warning.
"com.android.phone has stopped"
I am able to set up the tablet but that warning always pops up even after two install attempts.
Also, The SIM card isn't detected on this ROM, which is a no biggie but would help if anyone knows of a fix?
This is the error I am recieving. Hope there's a fix for this
Edit:
Edit:
Tried the following steps
Clear Cache and Data of the Phone App, SIM Toolkit, Reboot. The problem still persists.
Lineage 14 is so much faster then CM 13. We're so close already to having a useable Nougat ROM. Maybe it has something to do with that boot.img for lineage which can't be downloaded.
Found a temporary fix.
Activate developer options > USB Debugging. Then when the warning prompts again, there is now an option > hide till device restarts.

If you want to do a good job, you and the experienced people can find solutions to some problems in this rom
I wrote a guide on how to install this Nougat based ROM in my website, along with initial review and fix to the pesky notifications.
I hope this is allowed, otherwise please delete but don't ban me mods please!

Good work many thanks for you and we wating fixes thank you
So far so good using this tablet on Lineage 14. I am using a very good launcher called Sentio Launcher. Allows me to work on the tablet like a laptop. I have a Bluetooth keyboard.
This is good as a daily driver. Wish the SIM function can be fixed but I don't mind really :3
sm-t560 does not work (7.1.2), do not pass the boot.img?
Hi, I recently bought an used OnePlus 8 Pro and it was already updated to Android 11. After repairing it, I discovered that it's not possible to run TWRP on this firmware version.
Couldn't I just go ahead and downgrade the OS in order to run TWRP on it or is it basically impossible like on the latest Samsung Galaxy S-series devices?
Would be glad if someone could answer me that question. I kinda tried to boot into twrp because I was too quick to read the thread but it just caused my device to run into Qualcomm Emegency Mode.
What do you need twrp for? If it's just to root and almost everything else... It can be done via other means.

Hmmmm the way I've seen a lot of custom roms... They're installed/flashed partition by partition in bootloader via fastboot.....I guess if you have to use twrp to flash the entire rom you do need to downgrade to os 10.

Thank you for your response. i think i just did not catch up the latest progress. Would you please help me find the instruction about how to flash rom in the new way you mentioned ? thank you so much.
And i still have the same question , is it necessary for us to downgrade to android 10 and then start flashing rom.
Look at the roms in the subforum here:
OnePlus 8 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other
Improve your OnePlus 8 Pro 's battery life, performance, and look by rooting it and installing a custom ROM, kernel, and more.
forum.xda-developers.com
I just looked at some popular ones like Pixel experience and Lineage and they're both flashed in this way. Look at the opening post where the instructions are... Seems like Pixel Experience there's a batch file that flashes the partitions but it's essentially done this way without twrp.

thank you for your reply, I already tried to flash pixel experience, i followed the install guide but failed to flash its recovery file.
Install PixelExperience on instantnoodlep - PixelExperience Wiki

Because it requires installing rom from recovery, so I get stuck here.
The problem is the device enters crash dump mode when switched to recovery mode. I guess the reason is that my p8pro is in andriod 11 before i flash recovery. now the device can enter android 11 normally but the recovery don't function. So I am here to ask is it necessary for me to downgrade to android 10 to solve the problem.

Thank you for your reply, it help me a lot. i have already flash my device lineage os . Regarding the problem i mentioned in my last reply, it seems the install guide is for android 10. As for android 11 , i think it needs a payload dumper to extract all files and flash them one by one.

I think the answer depends why do you need twrp. If you just want to flash a rom like me, you can find a custom rom supporting android 11,for example lineage os and you can flash all files it requires without twrp.
If you want to flash a android 10 rom or you just want to flash twrp , i don't know how, maybe you should downgrade.
