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 have noticed that there is no TWRP recovery available for our device and also no custom rom which i wanted for customization as stock rom doesn't have it.
If anyone found TWRP recovery for mi a1. please post here as I want to root my device.
Bro, you can root your device without TWRP, but yes we all are looking for the TWRP for our lovely device, hope someone will crack it soon, hope for the best !
Rooting method - https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/how-to/root-mia1-twrp-t3678453
This phone is awesome, I like RAM management of this phone. I don't think this phone requires any customisation and guys feel innovative of this ROM atleast for few month's.
Is rom customization was what you were after then you should not have gotten this device. The A/B partition makes development hard. This is the main problem the pixels had and why many developers stopped working on devices with that partition.
I know that
Last gen Android one devices had rich custom ROM development. I expect same for mi A1. Though it will take some time, but twrp and custom ROMs will soon be available. I want custom ROM for features like night light, pixel color palette, double tap to sleep, button customisation, button led, etc, etc.
Custom ROM and Custom Kernals will only be available when OeM will release the source code
Official TWRP for Xiaomi Mi A1
But for my knowledge, the official twrp is already released. I have the file but as I'm new in the forum so I'm not able to post the external link in the post. DM me if anyone needs the link.
(If have any doubt you can check the compatibility directly boot from this twrp without flashing stock.)
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.

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?

In most cases is kinda a lottery to install successfully a treble ROM because of the Huawei encryption. Firstly I recommend to upgrade to the final and latest version of Oreo (B360) (using HuRUpdater) which is the final version and then flash this TWRP recovery:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-lite/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-t3777582
Here you have 2 options: You can format /data and then factory reset after you flash the ROM OR flash back the stock recovery and wipe data from there. The later option works the best for most people.
If it's a system.img then you can flash it by fastboot and keep the original Huawei recovery and do a wipe from there.
Like I said it's kinda lottery so keep in mind to have the stock firmware handy if anything goes wrong.
thanks for the advice
i will have a play
the only thing i dont understand is that i thought the Treble ROMS should be device non specific and then ANY treble rom should work........... as the underpinning "drivers" (sorry im used to explaining my thinking in windows speak) are allready sorted and on another partition on the phone ready to go
If im missing somthing please can someone correct me or explain it better as although i can and have flashed all of the android devices i own my knowledge ends there with Android.
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.

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.

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.
