I recently flashed in Lineage OS on my Swift. But whenever I try to boot into the System the bootloader opens up. I've tried 2 different ROMS but the phone still goes to the bootloader.
The bootloader is unlocked and I can access the recovery. I took a backup before doing all this but it wasn't taken properly so I can't restore it!
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

The problem has been solved.

Hi GameMinister,

ran into the same problem a few days ago.

I downloaded and issued the fastboot commands explained in this thread...

That worked for me.
Hope your swift comes back to life!

Cheers TedfromZed
So do I have to follow the steps if for the old bootloader version? And I do have TWRP right now, even though I didn't follow the steps, cuz I just flashed it directly.

Thanks for the help

I had TWRP installed too and could access the recovery mode. But on normal boot, the phone always ran into fastboot mode.
Flashing different ROMs didn't change that. When leaving the recovery mode there also was the "No OS detected"-message.
I guess i deleted some or all of the files that are in the "radio-20161215-crackling.zip"-package, or something was wrong with the partition layout. (The experts may correct me on the possible cause.) :confused:
I didn't check for the version of the bootloader, as mentioned in that thread.
After downloading, unpacking, connecting the phone via usb to the pc, and then flashing those files via the fastboot commands, my swift wasn't stuck in that fastboot loop anymore.
TWRP was still accessible. I then adb-pushed a newer twrp and the recent lineage+microg 15.1.
Install, reboot... Swift was phone again! :victory:
