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

Fingerprint Lock, not available entirely (not blurred)

Hi,
I couldn't find any thread relating to my current issue with Lenovo Zuk Z1 (running on LOS 14.1, release Mar.21, 2017). After installing the first official LOS 14.1 everything was pretty good (except the 2nd Sim slot bug) until I tried updating Los from update section which gone into TWRP loop. Somehow restored with QFIL but the firmware that was available, a COS 12.1 Preview version . So flashed LoS 14.1 official 2nd release one more time and after booting the fingerprint lock option was gone. The button is working for all the functions which are triggered by pressing the button. No touch based functionalities.
Need help/suggestions.
P.S: Tried removing credentials, not worked in this case.

me too having the same problem.

Just resolved yesterday. Flashed unofficial Los 14.1 where fingerprint worked previously, rebooted then reflashed the Official Los 14.1. fingerprint is back. I think people with similar issue can either flash the zui firmware where fingerprint worked and then flash los, afresh. Thanks for replying.[emoji18]

Check this link ...30.1.2017 file. Before Lineage team released the Official version I used this unofficial one which worked fine. Only thing that neither the unofficial nor the Official version addressed is the Sim2 slot for calls.

Yes, Wipe dalvik, cache, syestem and data... don't wipe internal storage. I use TWRP recovery. Flash Los unofficial. Don't need to flash Gapps first. Reboot.
Do a quick setup. Fingerprint option should come. Then copy the Official Los file and Gapps (Arm 7.1) into your internal storage and go to recovery repeat the entire process of wiping and flashing los, only with official version this time. Flash Gapps (stock version will be good)
U will find a loads of articles on how to flash a custom rom on xda forum or search on YouTube. I can't post any external link yet. Sorry for that.

Will we get Treble for GSI ?

Hello,
after testing out lots of ROM with Treble, I used some GSI and some of them worked more some less. In the Treble Development department I found a working AOSP 9 GSI. The ROM did work quite good and I would use it as a daily driver, but sadly the battery consumption was the greatest I ever had.
Maybe it is because of the ROM, but after all the vendor image should also be good. The only one we can use is from nfound and he left us...
So, what do you think? Will there every be a vendor image we can use for GSI?

yes.

Did you try this one: [AOSP 9.0] [EXPERIMENTAL] [2018-08-22] Phh-Treble ?
Cause this is the one, that gives me a SOT of about ~ 5h , which is ok for me right now ...
(altough, using AEX 5.8 SOT was 6-7h for me ...)
But it is in development ...

There is another one based on this one, because this one gave me to much errors. Maybe the new GSI got better...
Did you flash some post GSI zips or did it work out of the box?

So at the moment we only have nfounds vendor image which boots up most gsi, but there are problems not solved. My great hope was that we will get a good vendor image with lineage, but it does not boot any gsi at the moment.
Nfounds vendor seems to be compatible with Oreo and pie. At the moment there is no sign for a pie only vendor image what would be great

Do all the GSIs available for the A7 get the irritating "vendor image mismatch" or "there's an internal problem with your device" on every bootup? I know it can be ignored but it's just annoying as hell. What causes this? I read that it has something to do with the boot/vendor signature/fingerprint not matching what the ROM expects to see. Is there a solution that makes these messages go away? I'm interested in trying a Treble Oreo GSI, but I need a daily driver that can be counted on, and so far I've had very little luck with getting GSIs to boot.
Which vendor image and boot image is correct for an A7 running a Treble ROM? The ones by Nfound? Or LineageOS? Or something else? It would be nice if ZTE would update our device to official Oreo and officially adopt Treble and a vendor partition. The A7 is classified by ZTE as an end of life/support device, with the Axon 9 due soon, the least they can do is bless us with this one last gift as a farewell.
I wouldnt mind running Pie, but I like using Xposed modules, so no go there. On the Oreo GSIs I've tried, exFAT MicroSD usually shows up as corrupt. This is unacceptable to me. And I must have my cache and data partitions as F2FS, for best performance. And a custom kernel.

Downgrading from Pie ROM to Stock Oreo?

I just found out that Oreos starting to roll out to retus today, and while I've had ArrowOS on my phone for about a month, it's starting to become unstable in some places. I'm going to move back to stock since most of the features I wanted from Oreo are still here. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to ash it?

You can flash Oreo flashable zip for TWRP. If I remember correctly your data encrypts or something so you need to format data to get read and write access to storage. Remember this wipes everything ! I did this yesterday successfully. I'm running Pixys OS with Oreo firmware. I think you also need Oreo firmware to get a LTE signal.
Good luck

Looking to root Moto G7 - XT1962-6

Hi,
I'm looking to root G7:
Model - XT1962-6
Software - retin
Build - QPUS30.52-16-2-7-7
I simply want to get LineageOS with TWRP and Root. I have searched but have not found anything related to my model. I don't want to brick the device so if anyone can assist me by directing to the correct method, it will be a great help!
Thanks in advance

Hi dcybergeek,
Welcome. I have the exact same than that you do. I started here looking to do a twrp/magisk root like I did back with my Motp G5 Plus...was np prob find everyone did it. NOT SO for our plain G7. Being a novice, I gave up.
Now I drop to look and ask (beg) to see if anyone knows of magisk root...with or without using twrp if need be. The silence has been deafening...no yes or no or maybe...after nearly begging.
No pne could be bothered to give a simple reply...over n over as can be seen all over! And I thought was THE PLACE on to net for help, but no.
Luckily YES...Lineage 17.1 does work on our phone!! I'm about to just give up on on findi ANY FORM of a Magisk root, I guess.

Hi Zaxx32 , thanks for putting this up for me.
True that regarding the pixel 4a. I am thinking of moving on to that or even if I could get a better deal on the 3a.
I am still thinking to try out these guides. Worse scenario, dead phone and a chance to buy a new one

Update for someone else if looking for help/advice:
The LineageOS 17.1 nightlies works well. Managed to install Lineage OS 17.1 from XDA with TWRP. Next up will try Magisk and share the progress

I wish u the best of luck...unfortunately, you're gonna need it...esp if u have questions. When I asked just the BASIC question 'if river could successfully be magisk rooted via twrp now that a new version of twrp for river had been released?'...the silence was...still, deafening. Either there are still issues or it now works but those who know how have taken an oath os secrecy OR they just can't be bothered to help those of us stil 'learning android'...I dunno which! My point being...if it doesn't work...JUST SAY SO! lol

Yes, that adds as a contributing factor. But I think it's still well-supported (at least for now).
Anyways, back to your original question. The first thing you need is to unlock the bootloader.
But before that:
1) Take a backup as everything will be erased during bootloader unlock.
2) Download and set up Android SDK platform-tools on your computer.

Omg...DJBhardwaj...do you know how to root the G7 via twrp + Magisk??

IMO, always be ready for a brick when dealing with such things for the first time. It's not like it's bound to happen, but it could. Especially with all the confusion because of all the different tutorials out there.
Rooting/TWRP/ROMs only deal with non-critical partitions, so even if it gets brick, you can easily recover.
LOL no, please. No need to compensate for anything. It's a public forum, and we all are here voluntarily.

Sure. I will try and help as much as possible. It was confusing at first to me as well, but I managed to wrap my head around with enough reading (thanks to some awesome members of the community).

No doubt...I was 'mentored' thru my first root by Wolfcity. The kicker was I'd never used a smart phone til about 8 months b4. Always been a Windows Desktop PC guy n feature phone (burner) user. Leaned a lot...quickly..lol
Ttys...need some rest atm.

Have you tried shifting to a custom kernel? Are all users of LOS 17.1 facing sudden hangs?
As for K-9, I believe it's more related to syncing issues. It could be that the K-9 app is not able to run background sync.

Zaxx32 as stated above by both me and DJBhardwaj the very best rather than PM, offsite links would be to go through any XDA related thread.
I understand you are looking for root on stock and not lineage and or any other roms.
If it is to regain privacy I still recom you simply go lineage and or other rom.
And if you still want to root on stock, then there is a high chance it won't work based on the -6 model you own. The best I would suggest is disable unwanted apps if unable to delete. Keep google to the bare minimum (do not sync them all). Use unrooted adblockers, set permissions accordingly and set custom dns under network settings.

I cannot speak for them all, but yes I too suspect kernal issue as the lineage is supported for my -6 model but I suppose not to a full 100%. Other than this, I am not facing any hard errors just sometimes random freezes for 2-3 seconds but to me it is bearable.
