black screen for fastboot?

Hi,

I am trying to flash my swift, and using fastboot to flash recovery is all good (USB, using apt installed tools from debian). Its fine until I get to the rebooting step (fastboot reboot), at which point the phone reboots, but the screen stays black if I try to enter recovery mode (vol down + power) whilst issuing the reboot from bash.

The only thing I can do at that point is pull the battery.

After pulling the battery, I can re-enter fastboot with vol up + power, and I can reflash, or I can let the boot proceed normally and it returns to the stock wileyfox OS.

Has anyone got a stock wileyfox to work with TWRP - which version of TWRP did you boot with?

I've tried twrp-3.0.0.0-0-crackling.img and twrp-3.2.1-0-crackling.img - both have the same behaviour.

It might be relevant, but the cyanogen recovery doesn't work either - it just hangs with a wileyfox logo.

Edit : reading through this thread a bit more - Beroid has said to another user that he needs to flash to update the fastboot system (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70641502&postcount=44 Mine looks like the one on the left)

I'm not clear what the fastboot command to do this is - do I need to "fastboot flash fastboot"? Or do I

fastboot boot imagename

Edit 2: Never mind - I found the instructions on the right panel. I came here due to a search so I hadn't got to that part of the thread.

Just for the heads up. TWRP already have 3.2.2-0.

Cheers!

@beroid: TWRP 3.2.3 is not able to decrypt and mound /data when using Oreo (which is official now with Lineage for the Swift).

Could you please check the issue filed in the twrp github repo: TeamWin/android_device_wileyfox_crackling/issues/1

I'm also unable to flash TWRP 3.2.1 to my Wilefox Swift/Android 7.1.2
Fastboot works and says everything is ok, but after reboot there's the stock recovery anyway.

You can try after fastboot, remove the battery, then volume down + power. Then wipe all the partitions. You cannot used twrp to stock crackling 7.1.2 rom because the system use squashfs. It always go back to stock recovery.

Hello @beroid - are you still working on this? Because you seem not to reply on the according github repo. Also no word from you here. I am asking because if you gave up fixing bugs or this encryption bug in particular I wouldn't need to wait and could start looking into other solutions.

But of course I hope you still work on it.

Thanks!

Can I somehow downgrade first, away from 7.1.2 rom ?
My goal is to install /e/ (see url e.foundation)

update!
- fixed: Failed to unmount '/system' (Device or resource busy)

How did you fix this? I have spent the long weekend looking to fix:
"Failed to mount '/system' (No such device)"

TWRP (3.3.0-0) is installed per this post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/wi...rp-guide-wileyfox-swift-t3616571/post72537703) and I am trying to install lineage os, which fails with Error 7.

Any ideas?

Note to self/Frustrated Stranger...

I took the heavy-handed approach, not only wiped the /system partition, but reformatted as ext4 (it was previously splashfs).

This allowed me to flash a LineageOS-based ROM (crDroid, for some reason "stock" Lineage wouldn't work).

You need to go back to SW27-WF-CRACKLING-CM-13.1.5-ZNH2KAS7EB-RECOVERY. You Can install it by TWRP. Then when CM 13 will lunch go to recovery again and install linage by sideload(like it said on https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/crackling/install) it will stuck at 47% but system will boot normaly.

TWRP + decryption with lineageOS 16

Hi,

I recently updated my phone with LOS16,

I found a problem with the TWRP backup of the data partition. I can not open the data partition backup container file 'data.ext4.win' .

After encrypting the phone, I found, that if I format the data partition with TWRP later than twrp-3.2.1-0-crackling.img , encryption on LOS16 is not working at all, but older versions are doing fine.

After I succeeded with encryption (including external sdcard), I found out that decryption in TWRP is not working at all.

Will a solution arrive with the next versions of TWRP or will there be no solution at all?

Does it make sense to pull the whole data partition(s)? Will this work as a backup?
e.g.
~$sudo adb pull /dev/block/mmcblk0p31 /userdata_encrypted.img

Can anyone give me a hint? Is there any knowledge missing on my side, or is this the state of the art?

Any clarification is appreciated.

Regards

You can use the forked TWRP build linked in the LOS wiki, that works with encryption properly https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/crackling/install

Hi,

works. Already tried this version - didn't work for me the last time (when encryption had problems as well).

But when I open the containers (TWRP was not flashed, but booted with fastboot)

data.ext4.win
sdcard1.f2fs.win

I get error messages and can not extract the files:

tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
tar: Malformed extended header: missing equal sign
...

...
tar: Malformed extended header: missing equal sign
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

I don't want to try if this is a problem during restore, but maybe anyone knows, if this is just as it should be?

I never backup up encrypted partitions before, but with unencrypted partition, there never were any problems.

Regards
