Official nougat OTA? - Wileyfox Swift 2 Questions & Answers

Is there ever going to be an official nougat OTA for the swift 2 considering that Cyanogen OS is no longer being updated? Or is the nougat update going to scrap Cyanogen OS and go with something different?

---

I've seen in some videos where the reviewer was told (from the company) that the device should get nougat anytime soon, but they didn't gave any timetable. It's going to be fun if they drop CyanogenOS and switch to any other system, since Wileyfox doesn't have the resources OnePlus had when they created OxygenOS, for example.
Still, this device seems to be quite open and developer-friendly, just look at the original Swift and all the development it already had. Whenever I get mine after this Christmas, I'd want to try to start working on bringing CyanogenMod 14.1 to it, but don't quote me on that. I'll try to do my best
EDIT: I've found the video I mentioned, however I think on Recombu's review they did also mention something... Hope it's helpful.

I talked with Wileyfox's official account on Twitter and they told me the very first Swift shall get the Nougat update with Cyanogen goodies. If the first gets it, why wouldn't the following devices?
(Sorry for my broken English)

It still doesn't mention when it will get it but thanks for the help. Also, CM14 for this phone would be great

Did they mention when the first swift would get it at all? And your English is absolutely fine

---

Sadly no, they just told me it would be "as soon as possible", haha!

How do you know? Are you part of wileyfox team. What is your source? Thanks

---

We're already in february (the month the update was supposedly launched), so, it's highly probable it'll release during next few weeks for the entire Marmite device family (Swift 2, Swift 2+ and Swift 2X).

However, they did not officially say whether the update would contain Android 7.0 or 7.1.1, so, what are your sources on that? And what do you mean by "almost done"? Since from what I know, if they really plan to launch it this month they'd currently be in testing phase, not in production

I've tried to install the OTA update called cm-marmite-a1478a0ee9-to-7aa1c7975e-signed.zip and avaiable in the com.cyngn.fota folder
And I've got a error message.

The last time I've saw an error message like that was during an installation of an android nougat rom on a oneplus X phone.
Somebody already have the OTA update installed on his phone ?

You can't install a official OTA through TWRP, it must be with the AOSP recovery that came preinstalled.
To solve it: Flash the latest fastboot images available at cyanogen's support site and from there you should be able to install the OTA.

Dear friend, I installed the last Cyanogen recovery, but this was the result.
Thank you in advance.

That picture says that the system partition has unexpected contents (aka tampered). You need to flash all fastboot images, meaning, erasing your userdata (copy that zip to your pc/external SD card before erasing userdata, since you'll loose it), cache, system partition, dtb, modem, etc, just like I said in my previous post. After that it should work just fine

I thought that I have to install only the recovery "original". If I install all options I will lose everything that I have in my system now??
Can I disable OTA?
Thank you in advance.

If you flash everything, yes, it will remove all contents even from your internal memory.
You can disable OTA by removing WF-OTA folder from /system/app (Although I'm not sure if the system will like the idea too much, so I'd rather freeze the package with TB or something like that).
Si flasheas todo, sí, va a eliminar incluso lo que tengas en la memoria interna.
Puedes quitar el sistema de OTA borrando el contenido de la carpeta WF-OTA de /system/app (Aunque no estoy muy seguro de si al sistema le hará mucha gracia, así que mejor congelaría el paquete con Titanium o algo similar).
Me alegra ver que no soy el único de por aquí con un Swift 2

---

Ok I will use TB to stop the module.
Thank you for your information.
Best regards.

At the moment the testing stage, almost finished. Some users in Russia already received the update to 7.1, though by mistake. And it doesn't matter who the source is.
