@image45 and @der_dkw
Thanks for the TOS319I Fastboot Image.

I've tried to instal the Fastboot Image via the following guide XDA - How to install and use ADB and fastboot

1. Connect your Android device to computer via USB.
2. Ensure USB Debugging mode is ENABLED on Android device.
3. download adb driver
4. unzip adb driver and instal it
5. Extract the Minimal ADB and Fastboot Tool file to your PC
6. Download your RecoveryFile.img file or full fastboot Rom file and put under the extracted folder “ Fastboot or Minimal ADB and Fastboot ” so all files will be in single folder. (Which I've done with above image file)
7. open folder Minimal ADB and Fastboot, click on " open command window here "
8. Now type following command
adb fastboot
Unlocking the bootloader
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot
Then, adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
*** But when I use the fastboot flash recovery your_recovery_image.img and use the downloaded recover image, it says unable to load file name, where the latter part is the filename of the recovery image.

Can you please let me know what should I do?

Thanks in advance

Sellfy,

The signed Recovery Image and the signed Fastboot Image are both zip files and are used differently.

Using the method you describe above you should transfer the Fastboot image zip file to the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder.

Unpack the Fastboot image zip file using 7zip (or similar). A new folder will be created within the Minimal ADB... folder.

Within this new folder you will find a boot.img, recovery.img (not the same as the Signed Recovery Image) and system.img

Move these three files out of the folder into the Minimal ADB.... folder.

Now you should be able to go into the Minimal ADB Folder and using the Fastboot command:

Using Fastboot:

First of all enter the command ‘fastboot reboot’. What for it to finish.

Then enter ‘fastboot devices’. You should see an 8 digit alpha/numeric code followed by ‘fastboot’. If not you are not in fastboot.

Now enter ‘fastboot flash boot boot.img’. Wait for it to finish.

Now enter ‘fastboot flash recovery recovery.img’. Wait for it to finish.

Next enter ‘fastboot flash system system.img’. Wait for it to finish.

Next enter ‘fastboot reboot’.

That should install the stock TOS319I update.

Many thanks @bjlabuk for your prompt and comprehensive response. :):good:

I've followed your guides step by step, however regretfully the boot.img command has the following error,
target reported max download size of 535822336 bytes
sending 'boot' (13825 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.448s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time 0.463s
which is the same for recovery.img and system.img commands.

I've updated my ADB tool the latest Minimal ADB And Fastboot 1.4.3 and Drivers and I also cleaned my Wileyfox Cache, but no luck.

I wonder if you please do me a favour and let me know what I need to do next?
Thanks in advance

Got an unhelpful reply from Wileyfox Support saying the Fastboot Image wasn't available! Yet obviously it is! LOL !

Selfy, sent you a private message.

Yes I used to get them, however I have learnt to contact certain people, while phasing and timing my messages to normally get the correct reply.

ge8bbd8f instead of g5531d45

Hello,

I'm trying to install LineageOS 14.1 through TWRP on a Wileyfox Swift 2.
TWRP complaints about the bootloader being g5531d45 instead of ge8bbd8f.

I suppose I need to update Fastboot. Is it the TOS319I (Fastboot Image) link on the first post?

Thanks for your help!
