Hi guys,
My phone's screen had been replaced and they updated the software also.
I was trying to use a custom ROM as always but after installing the latest TWRP (3.0.2.2) i got the "set_metadata_recursive some changes failed" error message and i am not able to upload any ROM.
I succesfully reflashed the phone with flashtool, tried once more the whole method, but same error.
(now i am trying to reflash the phone once more, i hope i will be succesfull.
Thank you in advance, sorry for my English.
ps.: i am on the latest official MM
TWPR installation method was: Kingroot, AutorecMM, installing SU, then from TWRP installing the latest version (also tried 2.8.7 before, same error).
LG flashtool KDZ flash is now stopped at 1%...

Thank you, i will try this out!
I am not sure.but it looks your board has been replaced.you are flashing wrong twrp for your model.
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.)
I decided to install Pixel Experience for my Mi 9 SE today with TWRP but I kept getting the message "android.process.media" has stopped so I decided to wipe dalvik, cache and system. After that, I reflashed the firmware and rebooted then my phone got bricked into a fastboot loop.
Then for hours I had tried hundreds of ways, including using XiaomiFlash that said flash vendor error (with the Global ROM) and using XiaomiTool v2 that somehow got the TWRP on (but unable to mount /system_root so I cannot flash anything else).
Then I followed this video and changed the datatype of /system but now I got the error:
"E3004: This package is for "grus" devices; this is a "".
Updater process ended with ERROR: 7....." So Error installing the ROM.
Can anyone please tell me what to do because I think I am about to go crazy
You had to FORMAT (not wipe) DATA (not system)

Hi, this is probably coming a little too late, but when something like this happens, you should reflash the stock ROM provided by Xiaomi:
https://c.mi.com/oc/miuidownload/detail?guide=2
Using either their MiFlash tool or doing it yourself from terminal via the flash_all script. Usually, the phone should be working again afterwards.

Hi, im stuck in the same spot, my mi9se wont let me install any custom rom, i get error 7, 1 and everything but i cannot get out of the stock rom, can you please share the steps that you use (if you know) to sucessfully flash a custom rom on this cellphone?
Do not WIPE system and vendor. Just use the standard button in the first page of WIPE in the TWRP. I had the same problem with that and I got the solution only by flashing the Fastboot ROM (here: https://c.mi.com/in/miuidownload/detail?guide=2) with Mi Flash tool. Search more information about the instructions.
I saw something about flashing the vbmeta.img to solve the problem with the fastboot loop and without the fastboot rom, but I didn't check.

Hello,
I have a Poco F3 wanted to install a custom rom (i have bluetooth problem with Miui rom), but, to install TWRP, I made the mistake with this doing :
"fastboot flash recovery MyTWRP_File.img" :/
I read (too late) that ESPECIALLY we should not do this command on recent devices (with A / B partition) like Poco F3. With this device, we had to type this command :
"fasboot boot MyTWRP_File.img".
Result, I am unable to install the Gapps (including pico), I have an error 70 (not enough storage space available on the system partition).
I tried to do a lot of things and tutorials (formatting and reinstalling an official rom with Mi Flash to try to start from zero).
But my problem still persists, I cannot install Gapps because I have error 70.
Does anyone have a solution for me to fix my mistake?
Thanks in advance.

Did "fastboot flash recovery MyTWRP_File.img" actually flash TWRP onto Recovery?
It's not your fault, because several websites (like Xiaomi.eu) still list this command, which is outdated, and many people get confused why that doesn't work, including me.
What Custom ROM are you using?
Flashing Stock ROM with Mi Flash wipes the entire phone, including Recovery. I don't know why you still get this error.
Are you sure that error is related to this? I think it may be something else... I mean you used Mi Flash.
Hi,
Currently, I am back under the stock rom of the Poco F3 (miui global 12.5.3), which I installed with miflash after doing a full wipe.
Before that, i tried the official roms of Lineage and ArrowOS.
with both rom i had the same problem. An error 70, when I flash the Gapps under their respective reecovery.
I tried with the twrp recovery, but I have the same problem

I'll put it tomorow (phone call => need to go to work now :/ ).
Did you solve the Problem? Because i got the Same Problem. No matter how i Install twrp. Using Fastboot Boot twrp.img, or flash Boot twrp.img. System Partition is to small and need to be resized.
Got the same thing, cannot Install GApps, errpr 70. What can I do?
