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.

Also a just went into the bootloader and status is unlocked but I never unlocked the bootloader yet any ideas on this??
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
Hi everyone,
I'm having troubles with Magisk, Didgeridoohan told me to replace my actual ro.build.fingerprint (LAOS 14.1 one) with an official one, in order to pass CTS test.
So, what I'm asking is if there is someone who has an official build.props/ro.build.fingerprint. I can't find it on the web (I think I need one from Nougat, probably latest ZUI could work).
Thank you so much.
Lorenzo Benevento.
hello everyone.
i have tried a few custom roms on my samsung galaxy grand prime sm-g530H and discovered the rom that works best with it for me is this version of resurrection remix - https://forum.xda-developers.com/gr...om-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-3-galaxy-t3596669.
the problem is its preloaded with magisk management. even after uninstalling magisk through twrp, i am not able to run some important indian apps (eg - m-adhaar) because they still detect my phone as rooted. i have already tried unrooting but that didnt work. magisk is not able to hide root from some apps that i need through magisk hide and other methods i have read about on this site either.
can some kind soul please provide me a link of a root-free rom of resurrection remix or regular lineage os? preferably android version 7 and/or 8? thank you in advance.
my phone specs :-
samsung galaxy grand prime
sm-g530h - A.P - XXS2BRLI
CP - XXU2BPB2
MSM - 8916
p.s - i changed the update script in the roms to install from boot without magisk but of course it still installs the magisk management.:cyclops:
also - magisk hide is not working for one particular app- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.gov.uidai.mAadhaarPlus
HI,
These Apps have problem with the custom rom too ( normally) and they are able to recognize the custom rom in both case. It doesn't matter rom is rooted or not.
So You have to hide this thing with Magisk or ... .
Is your magisk passed the safety net test successfully?
If it passed then I can't help you anymore and if not try this one:

actuall yes. thats the last rom i tried. but its not stable on my phone. display keeps turning off and phone becomes laggy too. which is why i have mentioned that i need version 7 or 8 n particular.
as for your mention of these apps having problems with custom roms, i am not sure if thats entirely correct or not because i have tried other roms which are fine with the apps but not stable for my phone in particular. so theres my dilemma.
as for magisk test...yes. it passes but hiding is not working in 1 particular app. also my requirement is non magisk and/or non superuser preinstalled rom if i can find one. maybe you could help me with that? as long as the version is 7 or 8.1? coz 9 and 10 are not running properly on my phone ( lags). i am kind of limited in using internet for a couple of days...so its hard to thoroughly search for one. which is why this thread.t hank you for your reply and help

I tried a few Oreo based custom roms and this is the only stable rom that I found in internet . Which is a really great rom but it doesn't work for you because Rom will be rooted during the installation by Magisk 16.3.
I don't have any informations about 7, If You have Telegram Account , There is a Grand Prime 530 group. May be you can get a better help there about Android 7.

thanks a bunch bro. i have tried this already though. along with magisk, it has some issues like powering off instead of restarting and a little bit of heating - at least on my phone - if i remember right. anyway i will check out the group after creating an account on telegram. only 1.5gb of usage left today on my phone. thanks again. much appreciate it. :angel:

hi bro.
after a lot of frustration, i tried this one again with bitgapps. turns out that the other versions of gapps were making it lag. its running nicely on my phone. it didnt have magisk installed or supersu for that matter. but some apps still showing that 'you are on a rooted device' or' you are using a custom rom' msg.
so i installed magisk again only to be able to surpass detction for the one particular app i needed and it worked ( yippy!). but other apps, for eg - whatsapp etc still detect the device as custom rom or rooted. so i am still looking for a way around it.
also particular rom shows the msg on startup saying -' there is an internal problem with your device. contact your manufacturer etc. am just ignoring the pop up msg for now.
the rom ( which is android version 10 ) is running surprisingly smooth and fast though.
i wish there was a way to get rid of that msg and unroot the device completely ( doing it through superuser pro and magisk unintsallation - with uninstaller zip and through manager didnt work).
so well, there it is.
As do i

I saw it on most Android Pie and Q custom roms which i tried. I think it's something about kernel or Rom. There is a video on YouTube about this issue, He solve it for an Asus phone which didn't work for me.
For the record, did you hide Magisk manager and chose a nick name for it before hide root from other apps with it?
yup. i did.

i did hide magisk and gave it another name and checked all apps to be hidden in the hide list.
this video you mention, is it the one where he sets ro.treble to false from true? if yes, then i downloaded build prop but my ro.treble was already set to false by default. i was really hoping that would work. lol. alas! let me know bro.:good:

I don't know this is useful for you or not . By the way it's an other stable custom rom . ( Oreo based ) with 2 small bug but on safety test, CTS profile result was false for me.

I just realized that my phone model is fortunave3g not fortuna3g . It is a long story that why I made this mistake but since there is no official Twrp for fortunave3g I installed the Pitch Black Recovery for fortunave3g then I flashed a Lineage 17.1 for fortunave3g with it. now everything is fine and I don't see the internal problem's notification any more . Also I should thanks itexpert.120 for helping and his custom recovery.

ah, i see. i used to get error 7 on the latest twrp even after editng the updater script. so i switched to twrp version 3.2.x. then there were no errors while flashing any roms. do you think changing the twrp version or doing it again through pitch black recovery might solve the issue for me? also, please tell me if pitch black is as good as twrp in backing up and restoring. coz i have had to do that a lot. zeeshan(itexpert.120) told me to just ignore the error. hehe. but i cant do that!:cyclops: let me know bro.

Actually the main problem was with my rom not custom recovery . But I had to install a correct custom recovery for installing the correct custom rom.
Pitch Black has the same features even more. Actually It based on Twrp.
I can't be sure, but if you've seen Error Seven when you using the Twrp 3.4 , then there is a good chance that you've installed a wrong Custom recovery. on the other hand I had camera problem which seems you don't have it.
Hi i am using redmi k20 MIUI version 12.0.8 i am not able to watch content in HDR in Netflix and Amazon prime
as i check in setting - password and security - fingerprint unlock - fingerprint and payment
I saw able to see widevine L1 certificate privious now it is not visible
Please some body help me on this
Unfortunately, if you ever flashed over Persist (AFAIK, even if you restored Persist from TWRP) you lost your DRM L1 certificate (and forever)
There are also some custom ROMs that flash over Persist and you loose L1
Google more about that known issue on the net for Xiaomi phones
You could try Format Data (if you didn't yet)
Btw, I'm on Xiaomi.eu Stable and I have L1 and it works perfectly but I never messed up my Persist

If you used custom ROMs, some of them change Persist.
Otherwise, if you did Nandroid restore in TWRP, that would also go over Persist.
I never used Mi Flash but probably you can also flash over Persist
There are discussions on Internet and here on XDA, also on TG channels, search, investigate
Also, I don't know how it works with e.g. official CN firmwares (specially if somebody changes back and forth) and/or stock MIUI 12.1/12.5 - people reported various problems
Anyway, you can try:
- Factory reset / Format Data (no guarantee)
Also, if Bootloader is unlocked, why don't you go to Xiaomi.eu Stable (MIUI 12.5) - A11 works really smooth (not like with stock).
And if your Persist is really not 'damaged', with Xiaomi.eu DRM L1 will work
Sorry, cannot help more with stock, I'm on Xiaomi.eu builds more than a year

Unlocking BL is required for any kind of flashing, but unlocked BL by itself does not block OTA
However, once you switch to a different ROM - you can no more receive OTA for your previous stock ROM
But Xiaomi.eu has its own updates and OTA mechanism - google for Xiaomi.eu and when you open their forum, go to Stable ROMs and read the OP posts about downloading and installation of Xiaomi.eu ROMs
Ofc, you will need to unlock BL - google for the guides for Xiaomi phones (on XDA or generally Internet). Same procedure applies to various Xiaomi phones (follow only the BL unlock process - do not continue with e.g how-to root Note 8 to your Mi 9T).
Once you apply to Xiaomi for your BL, you will have to wait exactly 7 days (168 hr) - Xiaomi requires that time before letting you to unlock
You will need then latest TWRP (official from TWRP.me) for flashing/installing the Xiaomi.eu ROM.
Again google about installing TWRP (you need to flash its img file from Fastboot and again it is the same/similar procedure for various phones). Guides can be found also on XDA

How could share you a 'link' if you don't specify for what?!
Anyway, Google is your friend, and other threads here on XD.A, search and you will find official Xiaomi page for unlocking Bootloader (I'm not going to search for you now, when I needed I found it and used), guides for unlocking, flashing, whatever
From Google Play install MIUI Downloader app - the easiest way to find stock and Xiaomi.eu firmwares for your phone etc
I was also a newbie years ago but spent time to search, read and learn things - believe me, that's the best way. People who just want ro be fed by spun sooner or later brick their phones. I don't want to be inlvolved into

I am looking for a stable Android 11 ROM that is not MIUI.
