I will explain how to set the device tampered back to "false" on the Wileyfox Swift.

Required:
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".

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.

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

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.
