I will help you.
You know how to work with adb right? since you have unlocked your phone and flashed TWRP i think you have a little bit experience with adb.
first: download this zipfile:
https://wileyfox.wetransfer.com/downloads/aba80df646f39937021ef49438a629a320171121140241/aaa9dd
unzip it in the adb folder in your PC
make sure USB debugging is on in your phone and connect your phone to your PC
Optinal: open adb and type this command to make sure your device is properly connected:
adb devices
open adb and type this command:
adb reboot bootloader
now type these commands one after one (DO NOT REMOVE YOUR PHONE DURING THIS PROCESS):
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
and wait ..
once this process is done boot to the recovery (through typing this command: adb reboot recovery
or from the bootloader) and do a factory reset
Optional: Update your phone through the adb and relock the bootloader of your phone after this is done through the following command:
fastboot oem lock
Optional2: if you don't know how to update your phone through the adb, then just relock the bootloader and update it via the phone updater in the settings.
I hope this will help you

If you can get to stock recovery (Power and arrow down I think) then do a factory reset in recovery. That worked for me.

Flashed files and no errors but just wont boot stuck on wileyfox..Ive tried factory reset and also flashed other recovery files but nothing is working.

fastboot is not just for unlocking your bootloader. fastboot will allow you to flash almost every partition on your device, especially now that your bootloader is unlocked. Flash CWM with fastboot. Then you can use CWM to install CM, AOKP, AOSP roms that are already rooted. Don't know how many there are for your device tho. There's all kinds of information around here for using fastboot. Search is your friend

Theoretically yes. If you have a Terminal Emulator app on your device, type the following two lines. Each line is a separate command.
Code:
su
reboot fastboot
That should put you in fastboot mode, then allowing the fastboot executable on your system to communicate with the device via the fastboot protocol. The 'su' may not be necessary.
Otherwise you'll have to use adb. Make sure device is booted normally. Doesn't matter what mode it's in, ie; Charge Only, MTP, LG Software, etc... Type the following in a command prompt window...
Code:
adb reboot fastboot
If you don't have ADB installed, you don't need the entire Android SDK, just the platform tools. There are several packages floating around here that contain just the fastboot executable and the adb executable with it's support libraries. Support libraries are for Windows only.

Flashing problem No OS

It has been a long while since I felt the need to flash a rom but today i decided to update to current. Made a huge mistake and formatted the sd card and wiped the os and Rom install files. Right now i can access fastboot, Hboot, and recovery. But for some reason USB doesnt work in recovery. with no OS to boot my device just sits at the Htc factory white screen. I have not been able to find one way to adb into my device to"push " the needed OS zip. Also have tried to flash a factory RUU but no adb access. Can someone help me out of this problem?

Are you able to issue fastboot commands? If so try fastboot reboot recovery and see if adb is then recognized.

Nope that didnt work. Is there a Update or img zip file that can be flashed via bootloader that includes a rom?
I recommend you to check if HTC has some recovery utilities. Exactly the same thing happened to me months ago with an Xperia SP, but recovery didn't work either, not to mention adb nor usb ; my computer didn't recognise the device at all. At the end I found a Sony program that made me manually choose my phone and region, made the phone recognizable for the program, and flashed full stock. HTC should have something similar.

What happens when you boot to recovery and type adb devices?? If nothing shows up try.
adb kill-server
adb start-server
adb devices
and see what happens.
What recovery are you using?

I had this problem not too long ago. I could not get anything to work until installer a generic adb setup for all androids. Then my phone was recognized and I was able to sideload a rom through TWRP.

OPX Remote dtb not found solution

when you update to 3.1.0 twrp recovery is not compactible with the new recovery partition so you need to flash opxstock 3.1.0 recovery so that you will be able to flash android lollipop version of the opx and reroot and install twrp.
the proccess is really simple
1)go to settings about phone and enable developer options by tapping build number 10 times.
2)enable adb and oem unlocking
3)go to the folder you have adb and fastboot installed
4)Place the downloaded recovery file there(the one FROM THIS THREAD!)
5)type 'adb reboot bootloader'
Phone will reboot to bootloader
6)type 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'(or the name you gave for the recovery with '.img' at the end)
7)type 'fastboot boot recovery.img'
8)flash update.zip (the 2.1.1 version)If you cannot find the link to the file comment bellow
9)flash the update.zip via stock recovery.
10)your phone is back to stock now and you are able to flash twrp recovery and root your phone now.
Please hit thanks if i helped
EDIT:Unzip the recovery file fist
Post this in General Section
Sorry I can't find the link to update.zip
Please post the update.zip file

Ok, I solved my problem. I had to revert to an older TWRP. I just didn't know that the new updated TWRP is not backward compatible (that's bad) and I couldn't find an older one until I stumbled upon this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69170103&postcount=45

Not at all. The point is to flash an old offcieal recovery, then OOS 3 to update bootloader.
If you already are on the new bootloader no need to do that.
if you're not, BLupdater.
If already try to flash something not compatible, you may haave to run the Mega unbrick Guide.
Same isse with E1001
I had the same issue "remote: dtb not found" when trying to use recent (3+) versions of TWRP on my E1001 One Plus X. I ended up discovering that only an old version of TWRP (2.8.7) would boot on the device. Here is the version I used successfully on One Plus X E1001 (white): twrp-2.8.7.0-6.0-onyx.img. I cannot post a link to it as the forum is preventing new users to publish external links but I have it if needed.

Umx u673c root?

The phone has unlockable bootloader and I only have low mobile data and was wondering if there's a way to rip the stock recovery to port twrp over.
When I get wifi tomorrow, I'll try using PC king root while the phone is in fastboot mode.
Kingoroot will get to 100 but fail, kingroot pc version would just give me Chinese letters and do nothing.
Can anyone list anyother root exploits I might I can try on this phone? I tried the Android version of kingroot , but that just gives me the request device and I can't bypass it.
Root u673c
... has anyone been able to root the U673C version 6.0.1, if so, guide me through it, thanks!
we need to somehow extract the stock recovery.img to port twrp over.
Rooted boot image for u673c
I have finally rooted this phone. Here is the rooted boot.img uploaded to MediaFire.

In developer options click allow OEM unlocking then boot to fastboot mode and use fastboot to unlock bootloader and flash the rooted kernel.
Rename file to boot.img
Unlock bootloader: fastboot oem unlock
Flash kernel: fastboot flash boot boot.img

If you are having trouble booting system after installing twrp try wiping data and cache.
The no verity zip should not be needed since kernel was patched with magisk... but if still Having issues booting system try flashing the no verity zip... you can search for it here on xda
Thank you !
I just wanted to thank you, I am disabled and dont have alot of income, This phone is my lefeline, I now have it rooted running Magisk 18.0 and TWRP is installed and seems to be working fine, However I would like to ask this.

This Kunt sorry for the language, If you uninstall it it is back with every reboot ?

I would just disable the app... just in case there is an update for the phone in future... if you remove the app the update will fail but if its disabled you can just enable it take update and then disable it again... also disable the stock gallery and install a third party one from the playstore... the stock gallery app will through all sorts of ads at you full screen ads as well.
I used titainium backup to disable all apps I didn't want... bit you can use what ever app you want. You can disable most apps in the apps info but not all apps.
I just use the phone as a backup and don't know where it is right now but when I come accross it I'll post all the apps I disabled here.
I healthfully thank you

I'm sorry I can remember the button combo... From phone off press and hold vol down and power release power and keep holding vol down... I think fast boot mode is an all black screen or it just has umx logo, can't remember exactly... when you have a fast hooky cmd window open type fastboot devices to see if your phone is connected... if it is not try holding vol up instead of vol down when turning phone on... if vol up don't work try holding both vol buttons. Before this can be done make sure usb debugging is enabled in developer options and authorize your pc when prompted... alternately after you have adb authorized you could use adb cmd "adb reboot bootloader"
If you ned help with adb/fastboot do a quick google search you will find plenty of info and instructions
I appreciate your reply.
But I need some more assistance, please:
I've rooted many devices, flashed custom ROM's, Custom recoveries, etc, but I'm completely stuck now with this phone.
I tried "Power and Vol Down"....nothing.
I tried "Power and Vol Up"...and for a split second I see the Android robot on its back...but after that split second, I'm in the stock recovery menu.
One of the stock recovery menu choices is to reboot into Bootloader. When I try that, the phone reboots; but to the best of my knowledge, does not get into Bootloader mode.
I have installed ADB on my PC. When I type "ADB devices", I see my phone listed. But when I type "adb reboot bootloader", it reboots, but not into Bootloader.
I have USB debugging enabled, I have authorized my PC, and in Developer options, I have enabled the "Unlock Bootloader" option.
My Googling results have not yielded useful info.
I'm stuck.....
I hope that someone with experience with this particular device can please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thank you!

for me command "Fastboot Continue" would make it continue to load, it did take a while....
if it continues the loop then something went wrong. as i got the infinite bootscreen 1st try.
i just reinstalled the boot image a 2nd time and it worked here's the CRC-32 Hash "a483081b"
Not sure what you mean. You wrote " command "Fastboot Continue" would make it continue to load" Do you mean from the PC command prompt? Do you mean from the phone's recovery menu?
You also wrote " i got the infinite bootscreen 1st try"
I don't know what you mean by "infinite bootscreen"......

Not sure what you mean. You wrote " command "Fastboot Continue" would make it continue to load" Do you mean from the PC command prompt? Do you mean from the phone's recovery menu?
You also wrote " i got the infinite bootscreen 1st try"
I don't know what you mean by "infinite bootscreen"......

Hope That Helps.
I Got Magisk, Xposed & Even A Custom Bootscreen With Sound on Mine.
Okay. Got it all done, mostly thanks to Liberator Elite. And just so that no one else should ever be as stuck as I was, please allow me to clarify what actually worked:
I kept on attempting to put the phone into Fastboot mode or Bootloader mode. I could enter the stock recovery, choose to boot into Bootloader, but it wasn't working--or so I thought. All I would see upon reboot was a screen that was black, with the words "UMX" (Ultimate Mobile Xperience??? or whatever...)
However, Liberator Elite called to my attention that that screen WAS THE BOOTLOADER screen. I typed "Fastboot Devices" from the command prompt, and there was my phone! I then was able to flash over the boot.img file, and the TWRP posted here, and from TWRP, I was able to install Magisk.
For some of you, this is all simple--thanks for not laughing.
And to the entire community, thanks for being such a great resource! All done--thanks to you guys. Much appreciated!!!

help! locked, unbootable nexus9.

after a serious of stupid operations, here is the current state of my nexus 9 lte..
1. no android os is correctly installed, after reboot, it stay on a black screen with google logo.
2. it can be connected to pc and use adb and fastboot.
3. it is oem locked! fastboot oem unlock return error.
since it is locked, I can't use fastboot to flash the factory image, I try adb sideload the full ota img, and it finished without error, but after reboot it still stay on the google logo.
any suggestions? is there anything else I can do?

Do you have twrp installed by any chance? If yes, see if this will help. Good luck.
If stock recovery, sorry dude. I'm not sure.

Can you access stock recovery? If so grab an OTA image (NOT FASTBOOT IMAGE!!! AN OTA IMAGE!!!) and sideload it via adb sideload. Make sure you have adb 1.0.32 installed or above. I needed to do this for my Nexus 9.

Not at all game over, there is never a game over on XDA.

Just find the Nexus 9 tab and run "adb sideload [path to ota.zip]" like normal. remember, when you get to stock recovery from HBOOT, hold down power, hit volume up, and release both keys to get to the menu where you can choose to do a "USB update"
Forgot about the ota images. Never used one. I knew there was a way, when people started having this issue I thought I remembered Google making a fix.

as I mentioned in my 1st post, I've already tried the adb sideload method.

Oh sorry my bad... hmmm that is a thinker. Just keep trying different OTA images, downgrade, upgrade, everything. Do you remember what may have caused this? it may help us figure out what's wrong.
EDIT: Factory reset between each OTA image of course. /data might be wonked.

Factory reset.
Ninja'd lol. Labs didn't update for me
today, I retry the adb sideload method with a new ota image.
in my previous test, I used the v6.0.1 mmb29x, and today I download and sideloaded the v7.0 nrd91n, this time it worked! now I can reboot and pass the stupid google logo.
