[Q] Unable to install TWRP Recovery after CM12 YNG1TAS1K0 update

Hello Folks!!!
I was on a Rooted Stock 5.0.2 CM12 ROM with TWRP recovery, when I got the notification for an OTA update (YNG1TAS1K0). I found out that we had to flash stock recovery to install the update, so I did that, but the OTA update wouldn't install and kept throwing error saying something like "unable to update /sideload/". After multiple attempts, I finally flashed the whole ROM (cm-12.0-YNG1TAS1K0-tomato-signed.zip) via the stock recovery, and now I am on the latest stock build (YNG1TAS1K0). Unfortunately, I am stuck on the stock recovery now. Whenever I try to flash the TWRP recovery (TWRP 2.8.6.0 for Lollipop), it goes into bootloop. I have temporarily flashed stock recovery again to make my phone usable again, but I would really like to flash TWRP again and root it. Any advice/suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks. :highfive:

[Q] No Recovery after CM upgrade

Hello,
hopefully someone could help me solve my issue.
i've installed the latest nightly of cm 12.1 today overwriting my previous installation of cm11 with a build from january.
the recovery i used so far was twrp.
after upgrading cm to 12.1 i can no longer access the recovery. the phone shows a black screen and reboots when i press the power button.
i've tried reflashing current and older (2.7) versions of twrp with odin but with no success.

You should have flashed official lollipop first, to get the latest bootloader. And you should begin there. And then flash twrp for your rom and cm12.1 using twrp.
Use a cm12.1 rom from development forums instead. E.g temaseks.
so just to make it clear for the dummy kind of user which i seem to be the necessary steps are:
1. getting a stock lp rom and flash this
2. flashing a custom recovery
3. flashing custom rom (e.g. temaseks or standard cm12.1)
Does the Phone have to be rooted for these steps? It looks like it has lost its root status with the update to 12.1 or when i tried to re-flash the broken recovery partition.
thanks for your patience.

Old Oneplus two Update how to

Hey Guys,
i need help updating and old One Plus 2. I bought it and rooted it thereafter.
I now want to update it, if possible without full reset, but if needed i will do it.
The Problem is, when i try to Update via OTA i get an error regarding crc hashes .....
This could be the Problem because im using the TWRP Recovery. Now i heard there could be Problems trying it with TWRP.
Maybe you can help me do the right steps.
Version Infos.
What i tried was, trying to flash the ROM via twrp using the downloaded zip. But it didnt work either...
I appreciate any help.
Thanks dQ
Which ROM you tried to flash?
Which ROM you are currently on?
You tried clean flash or dirty flash?
I tried to update via OTA, but since I rooted it with supersu (the normal way which i found at oneplus)
Its not working.
So what i did yesterday was, updating twrp to the newest version. Now im downloading the oxygen oa 3.1.0 OTA Update.
Trying to flash this is my next plan.
Ota updates tried was dirty ofcourse.
I didnt flash anything other then the downloaded zip files but these twrp didnt flash because of error. So he didnt do anything.

Unable to install ROM/update recovery?

Heya guys, I've been rocking my OnePlus 2 for a while. I was wanting to install a newer ROM on it but I seem to run into some problems and I just can't figure it out.
I tried to install several roms (which are all based on 7.1 android) and I seem to be getting the same error on all of them: E:Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/crDroidAndroid-7.1-20161128-oneplus2.zip' This was when I tried the crDroid mod, of course. The only ones that seem to work are CM13 and OxygenOS 2.2.
Couldn't really find a good solution for this when I google'd. I tried carefully wiping what I had to but that didn't seem to help.
I also tried updating my recovery, but when I try to update my recovery it just freezes when I boot. I tried this using fastboot and or via TWRP. I'm currently using version 2.8.7.0 of TWRP because the lastest version of TWRP bricks my recovery. I've also tried the blue spark TWRP and TWRP-hybrid, they don't seem to work either, my phone just stays on the 1+ logo. I have to flash the old version of TWRP back onto it using fastboot to get a working recovery.
Anyone have a solution for me?
EDIT: I have a Chinese OnePlus2, the A2001.
EDIT2: Forgot to mention something that might be critical to the problem: I did update from OxygenOS 2.2.1 to the latest as of now, 3.1. This removed my TWRP recovery and I couldn't get the new one to work, which made me install 2.2.1 again. I've seen people mention some problems with 3.1 so this might be the cause of it?

HELP No recovery, usb not recognized

Its a shame.
7 years unlocking bootloaders, installing CWM or TWRP or Philz recovery, flashing rom after rom, not even one device bricked, and today, i messed up, i hope its not bad.
So the short version of what i did is that i flashed twrp.img trough and older version of twrp and now it wont boot into twrp, it says that it failed to verify the recovery image or something like that, and my laptop wont recognize the cellphone, the cellphone boots into the latest Havoc rom but without Gapps and without root because i did not install it beforehand, when in bootloader mode it just says that it could not recognize the device.
The long version is that i had Resurrection Remix, obviously an unlock bootloader, magisk etc... everything was fine until today that i tried to install Havoc, the installation went well but i found out that ambient display was not working, someone told me that the previous version of Havoc did not had that problem so i tried to flash it but it bootlooped for like 1hr, so i read that the version of TWRP provided by the OP was the way to get it to work, i downloaded the .img file and flashed it trough TWRP and tried to install Havoc again but i was stuck in a bootloop, so i flashed the latest Havoc build so i could download the latest version of twrp, i did not flash Gapps or Magisk because i was going to re flash the rom and then flash Gapps and magisk, so i downloaded TWRP and flashed trough TWRP and thats when the sh$& hit the fan, now it wont boot into TRWP and my laptop wont recognize the device, neither on android nor in bootloader mode.
So, thank you guys in advance for your help, tomorrow im going to try on a computer at my work and see if its my computer and if not, well, ill have to se what you geniuses come up with. thank you so much again.
Info:
Rom build number: opm6.171017.030.h1 or 20180811 android 8.1.0
TWRP: i started with 3.2.2-0 then i downgraded to 3.2.1-0 and the one that messed up everything was 3.2.3-0
By the way, I have a full twrp backup of when my phone was stock, (but no way to use it) T_T
