Hey guys I had a couple questions regarding rooting the opportunity Find 7a. First off I have ColorOS v 2.1.5i and everytime I try to install TWRP onto it nothing happens, even though the computer says it has been flashed successfully. I restart my phone into recovery mode and the oppo recovery is still there. You guys have any ideas?
Also when I had the older version of colorOS, I could install TWRP but then SuperSU would never work. It kept saying the binaries weren't installed properly. Any ideas on that ?
Your guys help would be appreciated since I really wna root this phone
Thanks
Try fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img it should boot directly into twrp then
I couldn't root my phone in Color Os 2.0.8i untill i reflashed the rom and installed latest twrp then it asked me for root and i pressed ok.
Yea I tried what jthatch12 told me do and it worked and superSu finally installed properly
Installed trwp and flashed multiple times my wileyfox swift to lineage 14.1
Swift wont boot gets stuck in bootloader....
Found a 14.0 image (linage) somewhere.... this works with no problems but seems an older built (buggy)
Anyone has 14.1 lineage on a swift with no problems ???
You can try installing Lineage 14.1. from CM13, see posts #155/#156 in thread 'Nightly 14.1 lineageOS Rom For Crackling'
went back to cyanogen the original firmware
Found the original firmware and twrp flashed back to that one...
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70510585&postcount=19
Old firmware but was happy with that one so.... problem solved....
Same bootloop on Wileyfox Swift, how did you...
...install the old COS on your Swift?
I downloaded all the files from G4liant's MEGA cloud storage but don't know how to continue.
Please, help if you can (see my reply to his post, too (as of today 25. June 2017)).
Thanks!

Do you have TWRP recovery installed on your wileyfox ?
Via the twrp recovery, you can install what is in one of the zipfiles
I guess this one :
cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling-signed-42f2b8e414.zip
MD5: 0AEF4E4A468EF34A6DA65712156ECB2C
contains the twrp installable original firmware....
Installing works the same as you would eg install a lineage custom rom.... TWRP is rather fool proof... I tried to install some of the other files, in the other zipfiles and twrp just refused... so ... try.... no need to install google apps here, everything is in the image... As you will see in the filesize of het image, it is rather big, compared to the lineage custom roms... Everthing is there....
If you are so far... Let me know, i learned that you will have to disable the wileyfox to keep looking for updates, wileyfox will download over and over again the upgrade files, was kind of annoying...
TWRP recovery cannot be loaded on Wileyfox Swift
Hi!
I had TWRP installed, in fact in different versions.
But for whatever reason I cannot boot into TWRP anymore which is precisely one of the problems I'm having now that I wanted to flash the Lineage OS again on a second Swift (I might have erased the partition that I installed TWRP to). But I cannot install TWRP again either...
All I can reach is the bootloader which does give you an option to restart recovery but it doesn't work. The phone is stuck in a bootloop returning whatever you do to the bootloader.
So, I hoped to find some help in treating the phone to a new or its original bootloader...
Thanks for helping!

I have found a way to install TWRP (different versions) but didn't know how to start it.
In this post I found how to:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/wileyfox-swift/help/foolproof-twrp-guide-wileyfox-swift-t3616571
It's keeping the volume down button held down until TWRP starts, then you can do everything from there.
Everything?
I installed Lineage OS 14.1 (nightly as of 2017/06/19) as well as GApps, wiped Cache/DALVIK and restarted the system.
The OS wouldn't start, only the bootloader could I get the phone to start.
So, TWRP is there, the OS is there, even GApps are there, I just cannot boot into the OS to use the phone.
Any new ideas?

Try installing the system and the GApps separately:
Wipe again, install system, then boot to system, when Lineage has successfully booted for the first time (may take a couple of minutes), go back to TWRP and install GApps.

I had the same problem with lineage.... only bootloader when powering on.... That is the reason why I went back to the original firmware because that solved my problem.... I once found an older lineage rom suggested somewhere on the forum that worked and got me out of the bootloader but that version was buggy... Updating from there to a the latest linage got me back to the bootloader only problem....
I will stay on the cyonogenmod now.... Until perhaps someone can tell me how to really solve the bootloader only by power up problem....

Are you back on the cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling-signed-fastboot-84f0d5200b.zip?
If so, you should be able to install and run TWRP 3.1.1.0.
TWRP then should be able to mount all partitions, including 'system'.
Then you can install the current Lineage via TWRP, wipe and restart system.
When Lineage has booted once, you can go back to TWRP and install the GApps.
Let me know if you get stuck at one point.
total backup of existing system ?

Can i backup my existing system in twrp... I tried lineage a dozen times before and always got stuck on bootloader. So can I backup my current setup because at the moment everything works as it should.... ????? I formatted my sd card as system memory so... ????
If TWPR is running and you can mount the system partition, you should be able to make a back-up via TWRP. (Not of your pictures, music and so on, see TWRP disclaimer.)
Install LineageOS from a running cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling
Hi there!
Yes, my Wileyfox Swift is running the CyanogenMOD version cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS3LG-crackling.
Everything seems to be OK, it just wants to keep downloading an update which I can save but when I'm asked to install it the normally automatic installation process doesn't work:
The phone reboots back to TWRP but doesn't show the just downloaded .zip file (which normally would happen) and doesn't install it either. Installation stops in TWRP, when I tap on REBOOT > SYSTEM the OS reboots normally but shows the OS version I had before.
Can you tell me where these update .zip files are saved so that I could install it maybe from the TWRP's file manager?
If that doesn't work I would try to update TWRP and after that install the current Lineage OS over the CM 13.1.2 as you suggested.
Thanks for helping!

What update does it want to keep downloading? I guess it might be the official stock 7.1.1..
You probably need to download the Lineage.zip manually from official Lineage downloads.
Then restart to TWRP and install the Lineage.zip.
TWRP has a toggle button in the lower left corner, where you can switch from 'Install image' to 'Install zip'. With 'install zip', you should find the zip.
The update is cm-13.1.2-ZNH2KAS7EB-crackling.
I have it ready to be installed on the phone but it won't show in any filemanager, be it in TWRP nor the system's filemanager nor AMAZE filemanager which I also installed.
So, I assume the download either isn't actually saved properly or it's a hidden file or something of that sort.
In other threads they say that updates were saved to a folder called "cmupdater". I cannot find any folder with that name either.
I also have the latest LineageOS .zip file ready to be installed on my phone and have tried to install that from TWRP (by the way: Now running the latest version for the Wileyfox Swift, ie. twrp-3.1.1-0-crackling). All it does is it produces an error saying something like "Error 7... cannot be installed".
SOLVED for now:
From here https://cyanogenupdatetracker.com/downloads/ I downloaded the latest available CM version (SW27-WF-CRACKLING-CM-13.1.5-ZNH2KAS7EB-RECOVERY.zip) which seemed to be exactly the one that my phone kept downloading and couldn't install.
I copied it to my external sd card and installed it from there via TWRP.
After that the system rebooted normally, Android then updated all my installed apps and now the system is downloading yet another update:
Android 7.1.1 (Nougat) - TOS111B
As I know that version of Android on the Wileyfox it's not actually something I would want to install myself. But I shall try to install the latest Lineage OS instead.
Let's keep each other posted (in German?)!

English is forum language I guess, you could probably send me a private message to clarify anything in German.
I also had the error 7 issue when installing Lineage, you need to wipe system (you will loose everything though, it is not possible to install Lineage over Cyanogen, like a dirty flash).
In TWRP, choose Wipe/advanced Wipe/ tick system only / repair, 2F2S. After that, format data.
Then the installation of Lineage with TWRP should run through. Let the system boot for the first time, if it runs, boot back to TWRP and install GApps.
With that method, I am on LOS nigthly 20170626 now and happy.
Hi kabu83!
Thanks a lot for your last reply - it helped me to finally get Lineage OS 14.1 installed!
At the moment the phone is rebooting the system after installing the GApps, everything seems to run smoothly and - guess what - I'm happy, too, now!
How about sending me a PM? (As I have no clue as to how that works it would be nice if you could send me that one more reply to let me know.)
***EDIT***
Solved. Not sure what I did right, but installing SuperSU 2.82 via TWRP and wiping the cache twice seems to have done the trick. No pulling card or battery - ran through one bootloop and then settled down after a minute.
So I'm trying to set up a backup phone after successfully rooting my primary phone using 5.1.1 (BPA1) and having some problems. First phone went OK and is stable. This one is giving me fits.
Downgraded from 6.0.1 to 5.1.1 using Odin.
Used Kingroot and ADB to get root.
Installed TWRP 3.0.2.
Made backup before I did anything else.
Download mode shows DEVELOPER
The problem starts when I try to install SuperSU. If I install it from TWRP the phone goes in to bootloop on restart. I've pulled the SD card, re-partitioned it, reformatted it, etc.
Tried different versions of SuperSU (2.71, 2.74, 2.78) and all result in bootloop. Tried the SuperSU directly from TWRP - same thing.
RootChecker reports not rooted.
I can restore the backup with TWRP and that stops the bootloop, so I don't have a bricked phone or anything.
Any ideas how to install SuperSU and eliminate the bootloop? Or am I at some point in the process which requires something else?
Even though I was successful on the primary phone, that still doesn't mean I really understand what I was doing.
Thanks,
Spumco
I hope that someone here can help me rescue to rescue my data.
I was on the AOSiP build from september and than decided to encrypt my device. That worked perfectly. Now I wanted to install the latest update. The internal updater didn't work (just booted into TWRP recovery without further action, so I moved the update file to microsd and than updated manually by flashing the zip file via TWRP). Prior to the whole action, I updated TWRP through the app to the latest version.
Now my phone doesn't boot anymore, it is stuck in the AOSiP boot animation. Reverting to a previous TWRP version (3.2.3.2) didn't help, also flashing the september build again didn't help.
In TWRP I was unable to decrypt data, because TWRP keeps asking me for a password (but I don't remember putting a password in the first place). Therefor I switched from TWRP to OrangeFox recovery. Here decryption worked, put still after flashing the phone doesn't boot.
Anyone that has further ideas how to fix this without loosing all my data? Any help appreciated!
Have you tried installing another kernel?

No, but as my system was running before without problems I don't expect the kernel to be the problem .. Or why would that make sense?
SOLVED: I noticed that flashing the update manually didn't automatically flash Gapps right afterwards. So flashing the Gapps helped and the phone now boots normally!
