SOLVED: Wileyfox Swift: Sideload failed always at 47%

Hello,
I tried to flash /e/ on my Wileyfox but somehow I didn’t succeed.

The terminal ends with: adb: failed to read command: Success
I had LineageOS 17.1 installed before but faced some problems so, I want to try, if it comes from hard- or software. My last hope ;-D

So if you have any idea or advice, I would be grateful

Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/ the unGoogled mobile OS and online servicesphone

SOLVED: I just followed this instruction [HOWTO] Install /e/ on a Samsung smartphone with Windows easily
and copied the file directly over the filesystem on my smartphone. Thanks community :heavy_heart_exclamation:

Since I’m looking at a Fairphone 3+ I thought I would give /e/ a whirl on an old Wileyfox Swift.

I have tried both the documented method for /e/ crackling and the method listed in the Samsung thread linked here. In both cases after reboot I end up in the fastboot menu: with:

FASTBOOT MODE
PRODUCT_NAME - CRACKLING
VARIANT - QRD eMMC
BOOTLOADER VERSION - crackling-N-gef75ac3
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - ad36c2bf
SECURE BOOT - enabled
DEVICE STATE - unlocked

The adb sideload menu has an ominous message along the lines of ‘no OS’ prior to reboot.

Any ideas what I’m missing please? It looks to me like a bootloader.

Thanks,

Bart…
