Hey guys, to keep it short:

- Wileyfox Swift, Cyanogenmod 13, Android 6.0.1
- Played around with Titanium Backup Pro and probably broke the OS somehow.
- When I start the phone, after the Wileyfox Swift-Logo, I only get occasional flashes and that's it.
- I can access Fastboot and can give it commands from my PC via adb
- I cannot access Recovery (white flashes again). Starting a recovery-img via adb didn't work either.

Is there still hope?

Thanks for any help.

if you still have access via fastboot you can restore stock cos12.1 or cos13.0 as follows:
Code:
fastboot flash splash splash.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash hyp hyp.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img 
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

Recovery ended up working again after I did this, and I was able to reset my phone.

Thank you!!

where would I get these files?

fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash system system.img

I found the first batch in the CyanogenMod zip, but the above 4 are not present. Are these in the recovery bin or do I need to get a backup from another wileyfox swift?

Flashing the first batch from DiorDNA's guide gives me a new fastboot mode with a number of options. I have a menu that shows:

Reboot to Android
Reboot to Recovery
Reboot to Bootloader
Power down
About the Phone
Reboot to EDL

none of these options help me unfortunately and still put me in boot loop with the Wileyfox Swift Powered by Android screen repeatedly flashing / looping

I suspect its due to the 4 files I am missing

The files are all in the "fastboot zip" on this site
