How to set device tampered back to false?

I will explain how to set the device tampered back to "false" on the Wileyfox Swift.
Required:
7z
WFS.7z (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6Ge199bCD5_NF9RWGhVLVhxajA/view?usp=sharing)
Windows 7 or 8
Driver Signature Enforcement disabled
Step 1: Brick the device on purpose
Hold Volume Up button+Volume Down button while plugging in USB
You should be see QHS_USB BULK in Device Manager
S
Step 2: Install Driver
Reboot with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled ( Google if you must)
Plug device in and make sure you see QHSUSB BULK in Device Manager
If you see Relink HS QDLoader 9008 uninstall it and delete driver software
Then refresh and you should see QHS USB BULK
Manually Update Driver software and navigate to driver folder extracted in WFS.7z
Step 3 : Install QPST provided in WFS.7z
I think its pretty straight forward
Step 4: Flash Firmware
Open QFil
Select Port and choose your device if not already chosen
Select Flat Build
Programmer Path must be prog_emmc_firehose_8916.mbn in the Maincode folder from WFS.7z
Build Path should automatically appear
Hit load XML.
Click rawprogram_upgrade.xml
Click patch0.xml
Click Download
Once done remove and reinsert battery
Step 5: Verify Tampered:False
boot into fastboot
type the following:
fastboot oem device-info
and it should say Device tampered : false and Device Unlock : False
NB: If you get a SaharaDownload fail or something just remove battery and USB for 5 seconds. Plug battery in. Then plug USB in.
NB: I do not accept any responsibility for damaged devices or anything. You point your finger at me and I will laugh at you
If it works don't hesitate to donate me a cup of coffee

This does not work for me, no matter wht I try, in the device manager I just get "Android" with a yello triangle.
No manual driver install / update (or update via windows update) solve that problem.
Try it on two Windows 7 PCs (x32 & x64) with Firewall, Antivirus and driver signature are disabled.
On a Windows 10 PC, the device connects as "Marshall London Device".

I don't think ur swift is bricked

when puting battery in jut get the screen "wileyfox"; recovery does not start (vol- and pwr) but fastboot mode ist working (vol+ and pwr). so it's not bricked?
so I repeat step 1 but still in windows 7 device manager having "Other Devices -> Android" with no yellow triangle.

I get SaharaDownload fail. Removing battary is useless. What else can i try? Thanks in advance

Now you get Sahara Fail. I think this is some sort of 'Lock Mode'. I fixed it by removing battery. Reinserting battery and immediately plugging in USB and hitting download

Probably I have to use a special cable?

See it gets the SharaVersion right so I'm guessing that phone is in a correct state. The problem there could be that it didn't decompress properly. Maybe the integrity of your decompressed WFS.7z is not intact. Go to Android One(2nd Gen) dedicated page. I got help there. I guess all you need is to look there.

Maybe u didn't installQPSt right or the driver is a issue. I flashed stock like 3 days ago and it works perfectly

Hey @cyaneo. If you still have the Yellow Android triangle this is because your drivers aren't installed correctly. I tried it. But that also means your fastboot is working.

Hi all,
Ive been a way from Android for a long time so I'm no expert but the method posted above failed for me. Like others, all my PC would recognise the phone as was "Marshall London Device" and essentially my phone was useless.
Can I ask why we need to erase and/or brick the phone?
Instead what worked for me was to reboot into fastboot mode, download Cyanogen OS signed zip, extract and run flash-radio.sh, then flash recovery and system manually. Reboot phone into working OS and then turn off OEM Unlock.
Once that's done I rebooted into fastboot and confirmed bootloader was locked and that tampered was false (as an official signed OS is installed I take it?).
Anyway as I say, I'm no expert but surely that's an easier and cleaner way than erasing/bricking a phone and only needs fastboot and the latest official signed rom from Cyanogen OS directly?

Hi,
This is my first post. (active lurker previously) hopefully its not too late.
In my experience on other device running 8916, a sahara failure can be overcame by holding the power button when entering download mode. (E.g: if you enter download mode by pressing and holding vol+/- simultaneously and plugging in usb cable, try holding the power button as well when you plug in the cable). This is normally a result of battery too low.

After bricking my Swift with some gymnastics around Android One firmware images, this tool worked flawlessly!
I was a bit confused when it came to the part of deleting/ manually reinstalling the driver. After the device was shown as "QHS_USB BULK", I manually installed the " Relink HS QDLoader 9008". Everything else went really smoothly. The device is good as new
For the adventurous ones with a Swift- this is one tough little phone. Hard-brick ain't a reason to stop

Lol I agree. This baby took some hits. I clocked it to 1.6 at stable. At 1.9 she became instable and started crashing #YeahITakeRisks

Of course there is. Don't get me wrong I understand your point. But you need to remember there are log files and a bunch of other stuff lying around if you fastboot. When you use QFil it basically rewrites all the partitions thus no logs. I returned my first Swift with the IMEI issue and they gave me a new one in a week

Hi,
my Swift is also Bricked.... that means no bootloader boot or etc. i tried to flash the phone with this method but no success. my error with QFIL is this

Zenfone 2 ZE551ML just bricked or faulty parts?

Hello my dear xda community,
today my zenfone 2 ze551ml 2,3ghz 4gb WW just died.
heres the story:
i plugged it in to charge, then i unplugged it for about 10 minutes and plugged it in again but it didnt charge.
so i tried to reboot and then strange bootloops occured. after a few tries i managed to boot again. after the next reboot it got stuck in bootloop completely.
next i tried to boot into fastboot. sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. when i want to boot into recovery a dead blinking bot appears and i cannot enter the options.
also sometimes my fastboot shows the serialnumber "0123456789abcdef" and sometimes it shows it correct. another thing is that when im in fastboot mode my pc does not recognize my phone.. no connection sound nothing. not on windows (yes drivers are installed) and not on linux.
only thing i managed was to establish a connection when i restored my bootloader with xfstk downloader. (did not change a thing)
so now when i boot there are 3 things that can happen:
1. dead bot blinking
2. asus boot screen (stuck)
3. bootloop
im having this problem for about 6 hours now and i have no further ideas how to possibly reflash stock firmware without being able to use fastboot (i can enter it but pc wont recognize) and without being able to properly start recovery mode (dead bot BLINKING)
yes my phone was rooted
and no i did not do any updates it just happened
EDIT: forgot to tell you.. when all this started i was able to boot a few times into my os (stock os just debloated) but was not able to charge or connect to pc. also when my phone is turned off and i connect it via usb to the charger or pc, the phone all of a sudden tries to boot
thanks in advance
cheers

hard bricked my phone recently and have the same 123456etc serial. This happened when I flashed boot.img without doing Androidboot.img first. It was a long recovery process,but I did get it recovered; however, I don't think I can fast boot from the bootloader anymore. If you want details for that route I can give them. Basically just search for hard brick. I wouldn't recommend it unless you're desperate. My phone is up and rooted again tho, so I'm happy.

yeah would be nice if you would guide me how to "recover" my phone again.
i tried flashing an os image via xfstk downloader but it failed probably due to the lack of proper files.

Sounds like you might need a new cable too

What I did was found a raw image that was supposed to flash the whole phone. With Asus flash tool. You need the x.14 version. I couldn't get it to flash my phone but I could see it repartitioning . I pulled the cable after that. Don't reboot. Then flash all the .IMG files from the temp folder. After that, it was stock and took some work getting it unlocked then rooted. After that and having twrp I just reloaded my last saved image.

i can only find die x.15 version but i think it should be enough. the problem is that ze2 is not reacting to pc commands when in bootloader.. so i can not operate in with fastboot commands and asus flash tool requires fastboot mode
maybe my last option is to flash my phone via intel phone flash tool which operates via the soc. but i dont have the necessary files. as i remember i would need some flash.xml and image

maybe there is someone who is able to provide files i would need for the intel phone flash tool. i searched but i only could find the flash.xml file for other zenfone models then zenfone 2

When using xfstk did it confirm it was able to write the bootloader? Also, what version of Windows? I have 10 and it took booting the Os into a recovery mode and accepting the drivers even though they weren't signed. In the offset or write settings in xfstk I had five zeroes. I heard someone use 4, but the majority said 5. I used 5. Are you able to see the boot screen as a 4 color box?

OK, I think I've figured it out. Realized my phone was crashing when I went to make a call. RessurectionRemix formatted my SD card and wasn't readable anymore, so frustrated I said f**k it, let's start over.
1) it's 4 zeros, not 5.
You'll notice when you're flashing with xFSTK Downloader it attempts to flash twice. It appears the first flash is for the bootloader, and the second is for OS. It needs to flash both. I could not get it to flash both until I updated the GP Flag Override Value to 0x80000807. Then it went without a hitch.
2) install fastboot and adb with the driver package.
It's on the site here. Once I did that the ASUS Flash tool did its thing. For those wondering if it's doing something or not - the answer is, if the phone looks like it's not doing anything - it's not doing anything. After I installed adb and fastboot, along with the drivers, it took about 5 minutes to flash end to end without a hitch.
So the takeaway is - if it's flashing the first portion, you have connectivity to the phone - but that does NOT mean adb/fastboot will have connectivity like it should. That takes the special google drivers. Also, it needs to flash TWICE for xFSTK. If it doesn't do both, things will be broken.
I found a raw image that was quite old 2.15.40.13 on asus-zenfone.com. password for zip is asus-zenfone.com. I've flashed that, and about to update to 2.19.40.20 to do the unlock. Rooting with one click root worked fine, but unlock I don't know did. So I'm getting the specific version it says it works for. I'll post an update when that's done.
Cheers

Unfortunately that didn't resolve my phone dialing, crashing the phone problem. :L

This did:
Make sure you go to settings-->apps-->default apps and select the dialer as your default application to make calls.

thank you very much for your help.
the first point chaning it to 4 zeros did the trick. i was able to reinstall the bootloader.
but i still dont have connectivity via fastboot. im sure all drivers are installed and even on linux i cant see my phone. what is that special google driver?

with 5 zeros it only loaded the firmware but skipped the os. with 4 zeros it loaded both. and yes i was able to see the colorbox.
im using windows 10 and what drivers do you mean? i installed the 15s driver package from xda

This did it for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48915118
After installing that, Asus flash tool worked for me
Also I found it will sometimes stall during flash. After partition and before flashing. If it doesn't show anything changing on the phone for 2-3 minutes, (except when it's flashing system), cose the app, make sure fastboot, fastboot2, and adb are all closed, and try again. Make sure to launch AFT as administrator.
Don't forget to catch the first boot before it loads the OS - AFT reboots once complete - and run unlock tool right then. if you miss it you have to start over.

Try a different USB port. On the back of the computer. For whatever reason that made a difference for me. I couldn't use the front ones.

ok.. lets summarize what i did:
1. installed adb/fastboot driver package
2. installed intel dnx driver (with isocusbdriver iwasnt able to open xfstk)
3. installed asus flash tool
4. installed xfstk downloader
5. loaded fw + os with xfstk downloader (successful)

6. while in bootloader i connected my phone to the pc and tried to use asus flash tool (as admin) - not listing devices
i tried every usb port i have and several different cables, nothing helps
im slowly giving up... in the attachments you have snapshots how it looks like when im connected and in fastboot mode. to make sure no dead drivers are in my way im on a freshly installed win10
EDIT: now something happened. i flashed bootloader via xfstk, then i powered off my phone and connected it again. then for a second AFT showed my serial number, but the state was a red X
after i restore my bootloader via xfstk. what do i have to do so AFT can see my phone? what you can see in the attachments is all i get from AFT.. but i dont know how to stay connected

You can leave flash tool and xfstk open same time. I flashed with xfstk, waited some time and moves between the bootloader options. Make sure no residual adb or fastboot exes are running. Then unplug the phone and plug it back in. Then it will show up. Select the option you have and click start. See if the bootloader shows any life or incoming partitioning happening . If that doesn't work reboot to bootloader scroll around in it to make sure it's loaded , it brings in the correct serial intermittently. But I don't think it's necessary.

So xfstk reboots
Xfstk round two no reboot scroll around
AFT
Unplug USB from phone and reconnect
Should show up .
Then click start. Did it give an error with that X?
Look at processes and see if it's launched adb or fastboot

I think you're close - it's flashing what's needed, and recognized the phone, although it did for me also but fastboot didn't work until the drivers with adb and fastboot. The last things I would think is reinstall the Google adb fastboot drivers with the phone connected to the USB port that got you this far, and if there is some serial no verification, look for .14 version of AFT.

So I'm running windows 10 on my pc and my op3 is easily found by windows. When I enter fastboot mode on my op3, the command "fastboot devices" doesn't show my op3. I used that 15 sec adb & fastboot installer.

Have you enabled oem unlocking from developer options?

I'm having the same problem. After going back to Oxygen OS (now 3.5.4) from MIUI 8 fastboot just doesn't work anymore. ABD works just fine (tried on Minimal ABD and Fastboot on Windows and ABD installed over Android Studio on Ubuntu. Fastboot did recognize the phone on Ubuntu but flashing TWRP resolved in a bootloop (tried the old and the new recovery image).
All drivers are installed on both Windows and Ubuntu (I even removed all drivers on Windows and added them again) and just to make sure everything gets installed I disabled driver signature verification on Windows, but as I said - still no luck.
Edit: Of course USB Debugging and OEM Unlocking is enabled (my bootloader is also unlocked since I already had tried out multiple roms)

Had the same Problem, Win10 is the Problem + the old OP Drivers + the new Update to Win10 etc.
Nothing worked, tryed everything. Created a Thread last week here also...
After that i created a new Partition and installed Win7 on it. All works fine, only thing is while Boot ur System u have to pick ur OS or it waits 30sec to boot up but thats ok.
Now i have Win10 for everything and i reboot to win7 for Fastboot/OP3

Didnt tryed the last Tip.

Can't solve your problem, but OP3 fastboot does work in Windows 10. I did have to disable driver signature verification to install the driver in the first place, and you'll have to leave it off for the driver to stay functional, but it definitely works on Win 10.

I dont tryed ur Way, so yes after disable Driver sign. it works like u Said but i did not Test it.

i had the same problem to find the correct adb driver spent many hours but it didnt work so after that last i try to update windows 10 and find adb driver there after updating window its work like charm so all u have to do is just connect ur phone with data transfer mode on and search the window automatic updates .

Same here

It's driving me crazy. I've updated from a rooted stock OS (incl TWRP) via full OTA directly to 3.2.7, which removed TWRP and root.
I now cannot enter a Fastboot mode which detects the USB connection. Thus I can't flash TWRP again and can't root my phone, making lots of apps unusable.
I've tried every suggestion on every thread but nothing works...

Also got kedacom on my device manager after automatic driver update but my phone still isn't recognised in adb devices, does everyone else's serial number show up?

You guys still have the problem?

Managed to solve it: Disable driver signature verification (follow howtogeek guide) then reinstall Drivers from Oneplus. Go to device manager chose the Kedacom Device and select the correct Oneplus Driver instead then reboot PC and Phone and now it should work

Well I didn't really solve the problem on win 10 so i just decided to use Ubuntu instead. Worked well

Rebooted both devices, OP3 was in fastboot. Then there was a Driver called Oneplus Bootloader Interface (or something similar)

The driver that shows up as a spare drive when you connect the phone? Tried that too, no good. Going to boot Ubuntu later today, hope that works. I just need twrp, then I'm good ?

Yeah that one. After disabling the driver signature verification you have to re install it, when it's not disabled windows just doesn't install it although it says it does. After I disabled it Windows actually showed a completely new window during installation to install the driver properly

At first it it was called Marshall London bootloader interface but after clicking automatic driver update it then showed as "kedacom bootloader" it does show its in adb mode thou. Is there any Google/Samsung drivers you could link me?

Ok, not sure if you know about this, but you'll have to install the drivers with signed driver enforcement turned off in windows 10:
Setting > update & security > recovery tab > Advanced start-up (restart now).
On boot up you'll use the function keys to turn off "signed driver enforcement" or something similar.
Then try and install adb/fastboot from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2317790
It should come up with an extra security window during the installation - the driver will be properly installed and you'll be able to use fastboot on your OP3

Okay thanks, I have tried that step but that's when it changed to kedacom via automatic update. I'm confused here I downloaded official oneplus drivers and installed and my phone is perfectly recognised as A300 when its file transfer but when you say install drivers which ones can I download to install manually to remove kedacom? Thanks your time to help but I'm completely stuck

go to device manager and manually uninstall kedacom driver and install minimal adb/fastboot from the link I posted, they'll install the driver automatically

If you want helpful responses you have to be more specific. Assuming you have the fastboot files installed on your PC/laptop ... What LG G4 model? What software version? Bootloader Unlocked? etc.
Assuming you have installed on your PC/laptop LGMobileDriver_WHQL_Ver_4.2.0 available for download from the LG US site as the Windows driver can create issues, have you tried downloading and installing the "Official" TWRP app and installing that way?
Suggest if you are still having problems, you head over to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/recovery-twrp-3-touch-recovery-t3442424

I have the right files, when I get into adb reboot into bootloader
it no longer recognizes the device. I cannot flash twrp

After reboot into bootloader, open your "windows device manager" and see if windows detects your device properly.

Don't allow Windows 10 to update your drivers - you can set that up in Windows. Google it for the how-to.

The device type changes depending on "how" its connected. Windows can "see" it as a ADB device, MODEM, etc...
With the phone connected, uninstall all device related on windows device manager, refresh the device manager for it to detect the phone as it should be (as you need it to be detected).
Sometimes its needed a manual device driver install. Happens some times to me, unfortunately I don't remember exactly how I do it because the issues (when it happens) are kind of random, so, I need to "understand" what is going wrong and fix it.
Just to tell you that is nothing unfixable on the procedure, you just need to have patience and find out how windows is supposed to detect your device.
If you don't find out by yourself, tomorrow (Monday), I'll try to see on mine how it should be detected in fastboot mode and tell you. Today its already late for me...
Good luck

Your device should be seen as "LGE Android Phone" (if your lg drivers are good).
Now gonna be tricky because my OS is in Portuguese, I don''t know exactly the path name in English... use your imagination
Connect the device on a USB 2 Port !!!
In windows device manager, select "update driver", "search software on the computer", "allow to choose from a list of avalable drivers". unmark the "compatible hardware" and find on the list the needed drivers. If the "LGE" drivers don't work, try to download Universal ADB Drivers, maybe it works.

I'm thinking it could be a corrupted LG driver. Download another from the LG US site, ONLY. Uninstall the one you have installed now, reboot and install the newly downloaded one. Then connect your phone and see if it is recognized and shown correctly in Windows Device Manager. Also, in adb type lsusb and see if the phone is listed in the output.
