Yesterday I've been trying to root my device using the official Oneplus video on YouTube . Everything was fine until I tried to flash the recovery. I flashed TWRP recovery using adb fastboot flash recovery (file) but then when I entered recovery the recovery didn't change. So I flashed it again, went into recovery and I finally got TWRP recovery. Then I flashed SuperSU and rooted my device. But now when I try to enter recovery I just get a black screen (OP logo not even showing). I can still enter fastboot and the operating system. If I use a booting app I see the Oneplus logo but after that it's a black screen so I need to press the power button for a couple of seconds to power it on. What can I do to solve this? The recovery is important for me.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT 1: If I check if my bootloader is unlocked using android sdk I see that my bootloader is locked. I am sure that I unlocked the bootloader before rooting my device. My mind is completely ****ed atm do I need to do everything again?

Toolbox works very well, I think is the best tool for our OnePlus2.

Today I tried booting up to recovery (power+vol down), after choosing Recovery Mode from the menu and hitting Power button, it gets to a screen with the green Android guy with a red triangle and just stays there.
So I rebooted the phone. Launch Nexus Root Toolkit, I tried to install CWM or TWRP, neither works. It gets to the same recovery mode and gets stuck there, only this time, it gets stuck on the Google logo instead of the Android guy with red triangle. I even try to flash stock recovery, and it also doesn't work.
Why can't I get into CWM or TWRP nor can I flash them?
Thanks for any help.

Be sure u are bootloader unlocked.
Android guy is normal... Is a safety step before entering on stock recovery, to pass that: hold power and hit once volume +
Probably u cant flash images cuz fastboot isnt working(old fastboot.exe file), wrong recovery file,...

Bootloader was unlocked. I launched the CMD Prompt from Nexus Root Toolkit and ran the fastboot command to manually flash the downloaded CWM and it worked.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-x.x.x.x-mako.img
So maybe something's odd about the simple one-click utilities in Nexus Root Toolkit that is not working.
Thanks for the help nonetheless. :good:

Hi,
I just unlocked and rooted my Nex 10 today, installed a custom recovery and everything done by the book.
I did it a couple of times, even three cause every time I installed the recovery CWM or TWRP it worked right after I installed it.
Then I rebooted the tablet, tried to get back into the recovery, and always dead droid
Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong???
Also can I install the latest SuperSU version??
Thanks
When you say by the book where your steps
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img
And then you choose recovery it works, you flashed a ROM, then booted to ROM but when you boot back to recovery it has been replaced with stock?
It sounds like you may have ran the wrong command like
fastboot boot nameofrecovery.img
In this case you would not overwrite existing recovery with custom

Hey XDA, Recently installed Paranoid Android coming from Chroma and it's not stuck in a boot loop. I can boot just fine every time besides the annoying corruption google warning, but no matter how many times I try to install TWRP it just won't let me boot into recovery. I'm using WugFresh's NRT kit. Can't seem to figure it out. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is for you to fastboot flash the TWRP recovery image instead of using a toolkit. You cant see the inner workings of a toolkit and have no idea of what it is doing. The toolkit could be using the wrong commands to install a recovery image to your 6P. Go to www.twrp.me and search for the recovery image for your specific device and download the file. Next, rename the file to recovery.img Then, on your PC, navigate to the folder where you downloaded the TWRP image. Open a command prompt in that folder by pressing and holding the SHIFT KEY + RIGHT CLICK on your mouse and select OPEN A COMMAND WINDOW HERE. Boot to the bootloader on your device and connect it to your PC. Then type this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Then type this:
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot reboot recovery
Here is the link to download TWRP for your Nexus 6P
This will reboot your device to TWRP
All of this is based on the assumption that you have a working ADB installation and unlocked the bootloader and have USB Debugging turned on in DEVELOPER OPTIONS.

Same thing, successful install and it won't open. Just shows the dead android when going to recovery.

You get the same results after fastboot flashing the TWRP image? I'd say your next step is to start fresh by fastboot flashing the factory images to return to a fully stock state. Then fastboot flash TWRP again.

Do not boot directly into system after flashing the custom recovery.
After flashing boot into TWRP. I remember on previous devices that I owned that if you do not boot into the custom recovery after flashing it, you revert to the factory recovery.
Just a thought

I thought about that too. What is probably happening is his custom recovery is being patched by the ROM each time he boots into recovery. Thanks for picking up on that. I forgot to include that in my last post.

That's correct. After flashing TWRP the next step is reboot into the bootloader using the volume keys and power key , then from there boot into recovery using the volume keys and power key, then the phone can be rebooted from TWRP into Android and then after that TWRP should stick.
If the boot image is not patched, the ROM will overwrite TWRP once you reboot. flashing latest SU from TWRP will prevent this.
Thanks for all the replies guys! All the advice combined got it to work. I did some more research and found that Paranoid doesn't actually come preprooted like all the other roms I've been used to. So using the tool kit I just had it root it with the latest SuperSu and also flash a custom recovery. It has booted into TWRP no problems now a few times. Hopefully it will stay like this. Will keep everyone posted and appreciate the advice. Thanks XDA!
I had rooted my Oneplus 2 and installed TWRP two years back, and was on default Oxygen OS [Android 5.1] and did not install update since then. My TWRP version number was 2.8.7.0. Now as of yesterday, the phone exhibited an unusual behaviour, apps closing, dialer and message app closing etc. So I decided to update it to Android 7.1 ROM. I took a backup of required data.
The rom I was planning to flash was RR 5.85 along with TWRP 3.1.1.0-oneplus2.img as updated on TWRP website. So I began with flashing TWRP version. I rebooted in my recovery [TWRP 2.8.7.0]. Selected the file from .img menu, and selected Recovery partition when asked to. It gave me a success prompt. And I selected an option for TWRP to reboot to recovery. It was stuck at OnePlus screen [the one which pops up when we restart] with the capacitive lights [Button Lights] on the entire time. I waited for 10 minutes, but without recourse. So I loaded it into fastboot and flashed an earlier version of TWRP recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-oneplus2.img using [fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-2-oneplus2.img] command. I again tried to reboot into recovery mode, yet the same problem was displaying.
Please help guys. Did I miss something here such as bootloader upgrade or something like that, since I had not performed any updates for 2 Years.
Edit: Never mind fixed it. Please feel free to delete this thread

You have to install marshmallow firmware first.
Best option would be to go back to the working TWRP version, flash oxygenos, reboot to Oxygen once, flash new recovery in fastboot, reboot recovery, flash rom

I don't know if this does anything different, but here's what worked for me
1. Ensure that device enters into fastboot mode
2. "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
3. **IMP** After your flashing is successful, directly enter the device into recovery mode by pressimg Power (+) Vol Down button.
4. Now a TWRP prompt shall appear asking your permit for modifications, swipe yes.
Note that: I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but earlier I rebooted after Fastboot and then entered into recovery, but the key was to directly enter into recovery after fastboot.
Let me know if that works for you.
I'm trying to flash TWRP (twrp-3.2.1-0-taido.img) on my Moto E3 Power. I had successfully rooted this phone once, and that's why the phone is unlocked. So when I try to flash custom recovery using the command "sudo fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-taido.img", it says it completed successfully, but instead of booting into twrp, my phone is starting up completely. When I tried booting up custom recovery using "sudo fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-taido.img", the same thing happened again.
The software on my phone is "23.0.XT1706_S151_180706_ROW". So far I've been unable to flash twrp on this phone, but I got it to work an year ago. Please, can anyone help me what's going wrong here? I'm following the tips on xda-forums using which other users were able to flash the same recovery on their phones.
you can try this
