Hello,
I have a Wileyfox Spark since few months. At the beggining it was running with CM. Two weeks ago, I made the update from CM to Android Nougat, but after giving a try I dislike it. So I have tried (for the first time) to flash another ROM (CM or Lineage) but it is a pain.
As I was unable to root my device, I have used adb and fastboot to install twrp.
Here are the commands I enter :
Code:
adb reboot-recovery
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Then I press to volume down button to display the recovery menu but, instead of displaying the menu, the device boot again and again until I'm tired and I release the button. Then the phone boot normaly on Android...
For information, if I apply all these actions except the fastboot flash I can enter the recovery menu.
Am I wrong or missing something ?
Thanks for your help.

Same here,but try releasing the Power-Button once it starts, helped for me booting into TWRP anyways.
BTW, how'd you manage to root that thing before? I am not able to do jacksh**t.
thanks a lot!
I can help you to get back booting up that phone again as it was. Is it still with that problem? I suspect you entered fastboot, unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP on bootup the phone needed the stock recovery in order to factory reset due to the unlocking of bootloader. This way it boots to TWRP and runs the Open Recovery Script to decrypt and reset the device. This becomes impossible at certain progress and thus phone keeps on going to TWRP instead of booting. I shall address the issue well if you're still in need of this. I'm using the same phone also here

Hi, so I flashed TWRP recovery and booted into it immediately. However, I forgot to flash the lazyflasher zip and rebooted straight away. Now the device is stuck at the logo and I can't seem to get to fastboot or recovery mode using the command line. I read a few other threads similar to my issue but apparently, they could access fastboot mode and I can't. Am I missing something?

Have you tried pressing Volume plus + power button to boot into recovery or Volume minus + power button to boot into fastboot mode?
Solution
It also happened to me but I booted into twrp and flashed an custom rom and also the lazy flasher.zip after couple of minutes it booted up. It may help you
Hi guys,
I think I made a huge mistake Any help appreciated...
I was following the Magisk and TWRP guides to try and root my phone. I thought it was all going well, but then when trying to flash TWRP, it didn't let me flash it to recovery, it said 'no partisan'. I found on a forum post to try the command 'fastboot getvar current-slot' (this returned a) then 'fastpool flash_a twrp.img'.
I tried this but then TWRP got stuck on the loading screen. I then realised that I couldn't boot into my Android version anymore as I'd flashed TWRP directly onto the boot partition! So I went about trying to flash my stock Android version back onto the phone... I then did this:
'fastboot boot_a boot.img' I stupidly then rebooted. I now am stuck with a perpetually spinning Google loading boot image. I can't launch into recovery mode as I have none, and when holding the power button and volume up it shows an info screen saying "PRESS POWER BUTTON TO PAUSE" and then it goes to the perpetual loading screen again.
I also can't do any more fast booting because adb cannot connect anymore...
Am I completely doomed?

I ended up eventually un-bricking my phone by booting into safe mode and re-connecting the ADB. I then successfully ran 'flash-all.'
I have a LG G Vista VS880 that I rooted with Kingroot. My next step was to nuke the LAF, go into fast boot and use fastboot oem unllock to unlock the bootloader so I could install custom recovery. I got as far as nuking the LAF when I had to stop and fix dinner for the kids. When I got back to the computer I forgot that I hadn't unlocked the bootloader yet and flashed the custom recovery and a magisk patched boot.img using flashify. Now it will not boot into system or recovery. I can get it to boot into fastboot mode by holding the volume up button while plugging it in but all my fastboot commands are locked. I have searched the forums and have found nothing except some info on getting into QHUSB mode by shorting out the test point but that post was for the G3 and when I took off the back plate the configuration was different and I didnt want to mees my phone up any worse than I already had. I just want to get back to stock and start over. Can someone please help or at least point me in the right direction?!?!?!? I would welcome any assistance!
Hi Community,
I read some posts how to fix my Problem, but i cant go to a service Point.
So I was using the Evolution X for a long Time (Installed with TWRP 3.1.0).
And now i wanted to change to the Nusantara Project (Vanilla), I did a clean Flash, everything worked i could access the System.
Than i had problems installing Play Store, so i rebooted into Recovery via the System. But now im Stuck in the Loop.
Can i Somehow connect my Phone to the PC and Reset?
Can someone tell me if i Hard/soft bricked my phone ?
Just a little advice, would be really appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Go to TWRP, wipe system, cache, data and dalvik. Now flash nusantra and whichever GApps are recommended for it (if there are no recommendations then use OpenGApps, make sure the architecture is correct). Now wipe dalvik and restart. Sometimes, certain roms begin to bootloop if you boot into the rom first, then try to install gapps later.
If you still have issues, just reflash the stock rom.
I cant access the TWRP anymore, im just stuck on the Bootloader, no matter how i turn on The Phone (Volume Up + Power ON ), (Volume Down + Power), (All 3 Buttons)
Nothing works anymore i dont understand ....
Im searching the net but i cant go to fastboot or something else, its just keeps on rebooting ...
So it's bootlooping, but you cant access recovery?
When the screen turns off, press the key combo and it should go to recovery.
Your best bet is to take it to a service centre, but if that really isn't possible for you, then wait for its battery to drain completely, then when you plug in the charger, instead of turning the phone on, press the key combo to enter the recovery. From there, wipe and flash some other OS.
I've also heard that certain versions of TWRP don't support some roms, leading to a bootloop. In that case, you'll have to use orangefox recovery to flash the rom (orangefox is flashable via twrp)
Yes its Bootlooping.
When i turn it on, on the Left Corner "Recovery Mode" blinks for one second. Than the usual Text appears:
"Orange State
Your Device has been unlocked and cant be trusted
Your Device will boot in 5 Seconds".
So after a couple of seconds (around 10-20 sec)
It turns off and immediately on again. I Just can turn it OFF when i hold all 3 Buttons.
Than i try starting it with Volume up + Power / Volume down + Power, But i cant access Recovery or TWRP.
So i should wait til the battery gets low and try it again ?
Like i said, my custom Rom (Evolutionx) and TWRP just worked fine. I dont know man ...
Well since your bootloader is unlocked, try flashing the stock rom again. Look for a tutorial and follow it.
Hi I managed to unbrick my device with this guide, and im back on a stock rom
Unbrick
i ran following commands to get to my custom rom:
I run adb reboot bootloader,
add executed following commands.
(Pitch Black recovery 3.1)
- adb reboot bootloader
- fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-fasboot reboot recovery
It just hang up and booted after a while into the normal system.
But im not able to get to the recovery menu ?
When I restart and hold Volume up + Power, i go in a loop and the phone keeps restarting over and over again.
what have i Fu**ed up ?
Do i need another recovery tool ?
sorry guys, i appreciate your help a lot tho !
EDIT: Is my bootloader unlocked ?
I can access via "adb reboot bootloader" the phone
and on the blackscreen on the phone it is written:
oppo verfiy pass
fastboot_unlock_verify ok
Update:
So i tried some Stuff and i got Red State. No Problem i Unbricked it once again and now im on Stock Android 10.
Now im Trying to enable the bootloader again.
I downloaded the In Depth Test_Realme_6.apk but i keep getting the Error that i should update the system.
So should i update the system ?
I cant find a CURRENT Tutorial to make this work, please help...
If you cant find a tutorial for your version, why not downgrade back to a previous one if possible.
