[BTC Reward] Really need help rooting my Wileyfox Swift please.

[Jayke.]

$5 Bitcoin Reward to whoever helps me get this done.

Yes, I have followed olli's guide and I cannot make sense of any of it. Half of the stuff I did was missing out of his odd job of a "tutorial", not to insult him as he has contributed but to somebody like me, who has no ****ing clue its frustrating to follow broken English and missing steps. Here is what I have done.

Preparation
I have downloaded adb-setup, ran the program as an administrator.

I have downloaded a .img recovery file from the cyanogen website, which is named;

cm-13.0-20161220-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO3XJ-crackling-recovery

Finally, I have downloaded SuperSU named;

UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip

I am aware there is a guide that already exists, it just skips too much of the vital information I need. I am not stupid, I am a comprehensive, experienced user on both linux and windows. I dont want to **** this phone up, I have some bad experiences with iPhones back in the day.

I need either a 1 to 1 talk through via Skype or for somebody to post here a step by step (Including everything, what buttons to press, when to plug in the USB cable) just a simple, step by step guide that does not skip half of the things I need or require me to hunt **** down when it could just be listed in the OP...

I am fairly certain this will take no longer than 10 minutes, and I will send you a $5 bounty in Bitcoin. I will be online for the next 2 hours ready to do this, let me know if you want to help me out.

You put your phone in bootloader mode
run fastboot devices -----make sure your phone is seen by fastboot
run fastboot flash recovery (name of twrp recover above).img -------------copy and paste works if you don't like typing

Place SuperSu.zip on the Phone, SD card or internal storage

Boot to recovery and navigate to SuperSu.zip and install it.

Hi @Jayke.

Which step are you stuck at?
Did you get the ADB interface to work? If not make sure that the debugging (adb) is enabled under Settings - Developer options.
Also just as robin0800 suggested get TWRP as your custom recovery so you can flash SuperSU from there. Also make sure to get the latest Super SU from http://www.supersu.com/download (the .zip-file that's flashable from recovery).
If you're still stuck just reply with a detailed explanation on which step you're stuck at and I'll try to help.

Just to say, SuperSU v2.79 didn't work for me on COS13. I used v2.78.
