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.

Unable to flash latest pie custom rom on max pro m1

I tried flashing RR ,pixel os & havoc OS latest build but I get error "this package requires firmware version 16.2017.1903.050 or newer "
how to solve this issue without going back to stock rom?

Flash this firmware first.
Then proceed to flash your rom.

I was on stock 340 and flashed FW 53 to install pixelexperience but after installation during the first boot, the screen goes black during Google setup

Either go back to stock ROM update to latest version of stock ROM & them redo all process
Else find FW53 & install it via twrp, then It will allow installation of pie roms

seems like the info that is required by firmware to verify device is removed , anyway try searching for firmware update size about 50-60mb ,I'm sorry don't remember the site or package name but it is possible to upgrade to higher version of android without going back to stock.
{Mod edit: Link removed} try packages from here

Lenovo TB-X704V TWRP

Hi Team,
Does any have copy of a TWRP for Lenovo TB-X704V (Manufacture date: 2018-06-14), ZA2T0003US?
I came across the below website, but download link is not working.
Website: twrpbuilder.github.io/downloads/twrp/#220
I would like to install custom ROM. So far I completed the steps of enabling USB Debugging & OEM Unlock.
As far as what I can understand, next is to install TWRP, then Magisk and finally custom rom (Android 10 Q or LineageOS). So still long way to go.
Thanks & Regards,
Vamsi.

twrp-3.2.3-0-tb_x704l.img
twrp-3.3.0-0-X704F-20190523-codeworkx.img

Could you possible repost your TWRP img? Maybe yours will work for me.
Thanks

If you installed twrp then flash sep8.5
I have same device as you have and it's bug less rom
It's much better than stock and it is noghat too!
Here are the link of threads that is preferred and it's the only way that can use your phone as you want
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...p-8-5-lite-galaxy-j2-2018-rom-t3821600/page16
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...om-sep-8-5-galaxy-a8-2018-rom-t3796971/page63
You can choose between these two rom
If you Don't care about theme and some ability like this install sep8.5 lite(first link)
And if you want some stuff like edge panel floating messages and themes and these things install Secend one(sep8.5)
Both of them are bug less and completely stable and fast
Btw update your twrp to latest official

Bro thanks for cooperating me.......
