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 )
I'm on Lineage 7.1.2 - 14.1-20180110-nightly but have same problems with previous rom
I would like to update my S4 to Lineage OS 14.1 and I have an older version of TWRP 2.8.4.0 recovery on my phone. What is the best way to upgrade to the newer ROM? Do I need to update TRWP recovery in order to install Lineage OS 14.1 or will it work with the older version? Its been a while since updating my phone could you someone point me in the right direction.
Update,
I've tried updating to a newer version of twrp via the app store and downloading the new update. For some reason when I browse from the file from twrp cannot find the img file. Any idea of why this is, I save files to specific directory where I can find them.
Thanks
I am in the same boat, however I am currently on cyanogenmod 13.
Where did you find v14.1 for jfltespr?
FYI I set it and forget it and try to update to the latest greatest yearly.
I am under the impression that there is no active maintainer for lineageOS however it appears to have forked.
so far I have found these options:
OCTos: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/orig-development/rom-team-octos-oct-n-t3537546
Vanir & Commotio: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/development/rom-vanir-commotio-05-30-2017-t3614632
I am torn, I want the latest (and acquire the security updates) but I know little to nothing of either of the two above;
plus I am very rusty in trying new ROMS.
would be interested to see what you come up with
I did come across this, but not sure about installing it. I'm on a older version twrp, didnt know if the latest version is required to install some of the newer roms.
https://androidjungles.com/install-...icial_Android_Nougat_ROM_In_Samsung_Galaxy_S4
If you use twrp recovery, how were you able to update it? It keeps failing for me.
i am not so sure that the link is for a jfltespr
seems to be for a different device jfltexx (the international version).... see http://www.lineageosrom.com/2016/12/list-of-devices-getting-official.html

Yea I know, I kind of figured that.
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.

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.

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?
I have the Samsung Galaxy S7 SM-G930T which runs android 8.0 with the firmware G930TUVS8CRL1. I believe I have found the right root files and tools, and now I just need a custom rom. I really like to try Lineage, and I have downloaded version 14.1, but it says it is for Android v 7, and I like to try Lineage version 15.1. I found the Jenkins site for Lineage, but I do not see an option for searching. I need help either making sure that version 14.1 of Lineage works fine after I root the phone, or how do I get a custom rom that works with my handset's software please.
I am also open to other ROMs. Please give me suggestions.
Also, does anyone know which version of twrp I will need?
Last but not least, Lineage instructions asked me to check the CPU architecture on my phone with an app, but I could not find the icon for CPU. Instead the apps says I have a Qualcomm snapdragon Kryo, which Wikipedia says it is Arm64. I need this to download the right version of GAPPS.
I just realized I posted to the incorrect group, would someone please move this to the T-Mobile Q&A please? I have looked, and do not see an option for doing this.
Thanks
Hi, as the title says I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4(SM-T530) with Android 5.0.2 and I wonder if it is possible to have a newer Android version installed on it? Or maybe a custom rom?
I have done some searching but I can't find the required info.
Thanks for any help.
I did search but cannot find anything...help is appreciated.
Nobody who knows?

Hi DJABHipHop,
Thanks for all the work you've done.
I have a Sumsung SM-T530 (matissewifixx)
OS: Lollipop 5.0.2
Bootloader: T530XXU1BQB2
After a quick learning curve I've been following the https://www.getdroidtips.com/lineage-os-17-1-galaxy-tab-4-10-1#Pre-Requirements article:
1) Used Odin3-v3.10.6.exe to root my device
2) Installed the latest TWRP 3.0.0-0-.matisse.img <-- It appears you're using a newer version (TWRP-3.2.3-0_matissewifi-180918.img) - question to follow
3) Attempted (unsuccessfully) to install the lightning-17.1-20201012-UNOFFICIAL-matissewifi-Unsweetened-XDA-BUILD
I receive an Error 7 - basically not identifying my device correctly from what the error says
Now the article actually mentions this exact issue...
To install Lineage OS 17.1 on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1, you need to unlock bootloader and running the latest TWRP Recovery. If you are on the old version, you will see error 7 warning text while installing the custom ROM on Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 (matisse) device.

3.0.0-0 isn't the latest TWRP. Check https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/recovery-twrp-recovery-matisse-millet-t4019831 and install matisse version. Then, you can install lfr 17.1 or los 16.

Thanks matteo,
Your tip/link has worked I've now upgraded to twrp-3.4.0-3-matisse and the 17.1 OS install has now been successful.
Good advice on the 'external' blogs... my next step is to install the 'GApps', that 'external' blog suggested some more external links to get the right Apps, more confusing for a newbie that the original article...
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
