Hi everybody,
I got my Swift 2 8 months ago and have finally decided to root it using TWRP. So I unlocked my bootloader and then installed TWRP using the official guide at https://twrp.me/devices/wileyfoxswift2.html. I also wiped my cache and dalvik cache.
However, now I have done this, whenever I try to boot, I receive both the amber and red warnings about corruption and then get stuck in a bootloop on the first black and white boot image.
Please can someone help me get back into android; if possible I would like root but in the end just a working phone.
Thanks.
As far as I know it's a dm-verity issue. There might be several ways to fix it but the only one I know is to flash Magisk from TWRP. I still run version 12 because 13.x won't install for me.
From my expierience, unlocking and locking bootloader will wipe your userdata , so backup! How I root mine is, first unlock through fastboot, than fastboot boot twrp, instead of flashing, flash magisk through twrp, than lock the bootloader again through fastboot. This keeps you from getting messages about corruption and has you rooted. Whenever I need twrp I just boot it instead of flashing it. I also made a backup using twrp, just to keep things safe and easy to restore...
Edit: To get out of bootloop you either do a factory reset or flash the image found in this forum using fastboot update...
You should have a look at this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/swift-2/how-to/marmite-wileyfox-ota-nougat-android-7-1-t3654999
Hi all people,
first of all, I want excuse me for not my perfect English.
I have Honor 9 from few days. And I think to have bricked it.
I have unlocked bootloader correctly.
I have flashed recovery this TWRP recovery with the intention to proceed to root with Magisk or SuperSu. I accidentally and unconsiuosly do factory reset then the phone goes bootloop. (it power off and power on continuously) with the alert "your device has been unlocked and..etc".
Yesterday, reading this thread, I flashed, from fastboot console, boot, recovery and system, the phone resets two/three times then goes to eRecovery where I do a factory reset.
After a factory reset the phone works correctly and seems successfully unbricked. So I re-flash TWRP recovery.
But this morning, during the attempt to install from TWRP one between Magisk or SuperSu (I don't succeed to do it beacuse the phone was crypted and I don't see zip files from TWRP). I have reset the phone but goes bootloop again.
I tried to re-flash boot, recovery, system and cust more (that I don't have flashed yesterday). Now the phone goes eRecovery and ask me to connect to download latest version and recovery, but don't ask me to do a factory reset.
Now I don't know what I can do.
How I can solve this situation? I want only unlock bootloader (done!), install TWRP and have root permission. Now I don't think to change rom.
Something similar happened to me. It seems like the TWRP provided has some issue..... After installing TWRP I had a bootloop problem. I have resolved installing Magisk. It seems that Magisk patchs something. If you can access TWRP try to install Magisk (put the zip file on external sd). In other words: copy magisk zip on sd card - during the bootloop you have the chance to power off phone - Power off - Power on in recovery mode. If you have TWRP correctly installed Honor should go in recovery using TWRP . Install Magisk and see what happens...

I have tried to flash TWRP recovery again to do install Magisk from sd card. I have done it but the phone doesn't work fine.
So I have put rommco05 TWRP Backup into sd card then restored it from TWRP restore (boot and vendor img). Now the phone seems have bootloader locked, in fact I don't have bootloader warning at the power on. Now in fastboot mode the phone says me that I have Phone locked and FRP unlocked.
How can I exit from this situation?

I have unlocked bootloader again and do a factory reset from TWRP recovery, now the phone seems works correctly!!!:good:
Now I should try to root the phone with Magisk or SuperSu, right?
I have a question about TWRP. From TWRP's file manager I don't see the files that I put in the internal memory. It's because I have used finger print to lock the phone that encryptes files?

This is to re-brand the phone from Chinese to EU version...I don't think is my case.
Rommco05 said:
Take a backup before make root. You don't see files because is some issue with decryption in TWRP. I achieved root with Magisk but I don't remember exactly steps

I think it's too late
Anyway I can re-flash all thing from begin.
Then I can't use TWRP with the phone encrypted ( PIN, password, fingerprint, etc...) ?

I'm not sure about thatz Huawei roms are encrypted somehow by default

After I have installed Magisk (v14.0) now I have problem with google play services which don't download and do updates apps.
If I do a factory reset again I can solve it?
Update:
After I done a factory reset from TWRP recovery
and formatting data partition the phone seems working perfectly (I don't know why, but before format data the phone says me that I have only 150mb of memory space)
I say "seems" because there's something getting me in trouble, for example, I don't have anymore ringtones in the settings menu.
And I don't know if I have lost something else.
Exists a possibilty to restore all contents of the phone?
You could try this and flash your phone back to stock. But then you would need to unlock your bootloader and install TWRP again. Another way would be to unpack an image of your ROM and flash system and other parts via fastboot. Of course this could be risky and you could brick the device.

If I understand it well...
I have 2 options:
1) Rebrand the phone and flashin, then at end I have back the phone stock.
2) Unpack the image of ROM (what it means?) and flash system and other parts via fastboot. (Which are those parts? How?) But this procedure is more hazardous then rebrand procedure?
I have understand right?
1. Yes, correct. I would recommend that. Everything is explained in the thread I linked. Of course everything you do could potentially harm your phone, but you should know that already.
2. Get an update.app file for your specific phone model (there are threads already here, just search a bit, or use Firmware Finder), open it with the Huawei Update Extractor and extract the parts you want to flash (like system or recovery). Then flash them via fastboot. I tried this because I was in a situation like yours, but it didn't work for me. But in theory it could, because you would replace the faulty parts of your firmware.

Hi, I don't say it because I have replaced the phone with another same.
Now I'm starting to unlock bootloader, installing recovery TWRP and rooting the phone.
I hope to avoid bootloop this time.
Goodmorning everyone!
Yesterday I have:
- Unlocked bootloader correctly!
- Installed TWRP correctly!
- Make a TWRP Backup of all partitions of the device, except data partition because TWRP gives me an error during backup attempt.
- Then I start the device.
- After start the device I go to recovery TWRP to install Magisk, but the phone goes bootloop.
After reboot 2-3 times on the screen appears for a few moments a message of eRecovery that have restored something but I don't know. Then the device shows me the eRecovery that asks me to make a factory reset.
At this point I shutdown the device, go in TWRP to flash Magisk unistaller and the device goes out bootloop and works fine but without root.
How I can solve this problem and install Magisk and have root finally?
Some question:
-When I flashed TWRP (via fastboot) and I configurate it, example language, hours, etc... TWRP don't save the settings, in fact when I go in TWRP again I do remake the settings. Why?
-Then I go in sdcard I don't navigate files, I see folders with casual characters. This is an effect of encryption of the device?

Answers to all your concerns go here mate---> TWRP doesn't decrypt data. Done.
Hence: weird folders in there, nowhere to store its settings prefs, about Magisk it's another story, if you want root go SuperSU latest beta.
Regards.
a basically did what that guy did, got root installed via TWRP but my google apps are all busted.
I tried flashing the update_data_full_public.zip and update_full_hw_usa.zip I found using the russian device lookup link switching trick but I the HW errored when I tried to flash it in TWRP and my play store still broken.
Hi,
Firstly, sorry for the lack of references in my post, as this is my first one, I'm not allowed to add URLs.
I recently purchased a Blackview BV9500 Plus and I have been trying to flash TWRP, I wanted to try different custom ROMs since the stock ROM for BV9500 PLus is apparently no longer updated (info comes from a Blackview forum).
The TWRP version that I'm trying to flash is 3.3.1 for BV9500 Plus (unofficial).
I have tried different ways, using fastboot flash recovery, using SPFlashTool and flash directly the recovery file, and it looks like the flashing succeeded but I have never been able to boot into TWRP. When I turn on the phone pression the Volume UP key, I see the Blackview logo (which sometimes appears color inverted black <-> white) and then nothing happens, it goes back to rebooting until I let go of the Volum UP key, then it starts normally. I even tried with a different TWRP version (3.2.3 for Android 9.0 Pie MT6771, unofficial) with same results ...
I unlocked the bootloader (ticked it in the phone settings) and did a fastboot flashing unlock, I tried rooted (with last version of Magisk with which I patched the boot.img and flashed), not rooted ... with no luck ... (I even lost my IMEI after a complete format with SPFlash along with the googlekey, fortunately I was able to reflash everything thanks to BV support :laugh::victory
Many thanks in advance for your help, I have been trying to figure this all out for a few days now ...
Best regards.

You can use https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...india-6s-using-spflash-tool-for-free.4222027/
We just need to flash the partitions that are modified.
Eg:- If you locked bootloader on top of custom ROM with custom recovery installed, then flashing super, recovery, boot, vbmeta will easily fix it.
Thanks
Hello
I have a poco f1 and I tried to flash from a week ago and here are the problems I faced.
1) I have shifted from latest miui to pixel experience plus from last week and the first problem I faced was when I tried to flash disable force encryption my phone didn't boot in the room it would get stuck on the google logo I did flash dfe while after flashing twrp to permanently install it but my device was still encrypted. Because of this, I have to remove all passwords before flashing anything.
2) After I tried PEP Rom I wanted to shift to evolution x and I downloaded the last built 4.7 android 10 official for poco f1 and flashed it in twrp and it was installed successfully but when I click on reboot system twrp showed no os installed. No one faced this problem but idk y I did.
3) My twrp doesn't show any portion to wipe vendor so I planned to shift on orange fox today and saw that as I install orange fox it would get stuck on orange fox logo and doesn't boot up.
Finally, I read this on some site
This device uses dm-verity!
This means that swiping to allow system modifications will prevent you from being able to boot if you are using the stock kernel. In order to bypass dm-verity's boot prevention, you will have to install a kernel that has dm-verity disabled in the fstab.
I never installed any custom kernel before installing PEP Rom on my device and people say that we have to flash lazy flaser what is this.
plz do explain every think in detail as i tried asking many YouTubers non of them responded.
Thank You
When all fails. The only solution is to flash miui stock rom.
