OPT bootloop, no recovery, cant boot into twrp. - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i just saw the new Oxygen OS 3.1.0 is out in OTA form. Me being rooted i tried flashing it through twrp, which i had installed before. (i should also note that i had Xposed installed too, on Oxygen OS 3.0.2) now i think i might have gotten my zip file wrong and installed a previous version. The boot animation is the square, triangle and circle one. It just goes through my apps and tries to update them for eternity. When i try putting the device into recovery (power+vol down) it just freezes on the oneplus logo. I later discovered that i can use fastboot when in that mode. I tired flashing twrp but i couldnt boot into it. fastboot boot recovery.img didnt work either, giving me this:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.746s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 1.011s
Now i have no idea what to do. I'm sure I've made SOME kind of mistake along the way, but i cant find a way to fix this. I have a nandriod backup of just before flashing if that might help.
fastboot reboot-bootloader puts me in fastboot mode but it doesnt change anything.
also, ADB naturally wont detect the phone whatsoever.
Ill be very glad for any help! Thanks!

Are the drivers accurate? Does your PC recognize your device as it should in Device Manager? That's usually what I check first when I have fastboot errors. I think the only way to fix this is through fastboot... so I would focus on trying to get that to work first.

**** man. I'm in the same boat as of a few hours ago. I was having a ProxyController wakelock and the few Google results I saw told me I should reflash the modem. I accidentally flashed the old modem (OOS2, I believe). I can't boot into my rom OR TWRP. BUT fastboot does work. I also get the "remote: dtb not found" error when trying to boot from the recovery image.
As long as we have fastboot, we can always go back to OOS 3 using the various unbrick methods. I'm trying to avoid having to go through that whole mess of re-rooting/unlock the bootloader etc etc. I'll post on here if I'm successful.
Update: I NEED a functional phone so I just went and erased everything. Sorry I couldn't be of much help to you man. What I did:
I went here and downloaded the fastboot version of OOS3 and converted the bat scripts into bash scripts (I only have Linux computers near me right now...; the commands in that bat script are exactly the same as they would be in bash, I just had to rename the ".bat" to ".sh" and make it executable). I'm back in OOS 3 now, unfortunately. There IS a way mentioned on the page below that talks about how you can prevent userdata from being formatted, but I didn't really care too much. Hope that helps.

Erased phones recovery

Hi I have the XT1570, running unlocked and with rooted but stock 5.1.1. I have run in to some issues with the recovery part.
Firstly I wanted to go back to the recovery and flash a stock recovery so I could get the OTA for MM, i did that using fastboot, and the flash worked fine according to fastboot, however once i rebooted into recovery it would not load, got an error message, I forget now something about dumping back to bootloader.
Anyway i fixed it got TWRP back on again, then tried a different stock recovery, same thing same error, so i thought I would easily get back to TWRP by the same method, flash again. I was wrong, now fastboot told me , target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
error: cannot load 'twrp-2.8.7.1-clark': No error
Remember this is the exact same TWRP image i have just flashed not 5 mins before.
So i thought ok then, maybe an old image is in there taking up space or something.
C:\Users\David\Desktop\Mfastboot\Mfastboot>fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Erase allowed in unlocked state
OKAY [ 0.017s]
finished. total time: 0.019s
Now I get the message:
Invalid boot image header.
Error:failed to load kernel
Boot up failed.
I presume I have deleted everything in the recovery partition, and so messed it up good, but I dont know how to fix it at this point.
I also erased the cache along the way (via fastboot) as I tried to get the OTA update to work anyway just to see what would happen, so I had to erase the cache to cancel updates
I must reiterate, I can boot into Android and use my phone no issues, at all, just I have no recovery at all and this means updates arent going to work, also i cant seem to find a reliable source for a stock recovery.
Some step by step help would be appreciated, as I am not an expert by any means on this.
Thank you.
Also my device was bought in China as that is where I am, it does indeed have the code name XT1570, dual sim, I would assume it is basically the same as the XT1572 asian. I do also have an original backup of the phone after unlocking bootloader, before root, which was my next port of call after changing the recovery back to stock.
fixed it i was just being foolish, someone delete this thread it is of no use.
Can you explain how you fixed it? I too have deleted the recovery in an attempt to flash twrp, but now neither twrp nor the stock recovery are there?

Phone stuck on Essential Logo (Powered by Android) screen while trying Oreo B2 OTA

I have tried everything to get this phone to boot up. I was downloading the Oreo B2 via OTA, not sideloading. While the update was installing, I went about my business. I walked away for a few minutes and came back to a phone that just sat at the boot screen. I let it sit for about an hour, thinking that was some how normal. After an hour, I hard powered down and it came back to the same screen. I have rebooted at least 50 times now with no luck.
I can boot into fastboot, but not recovery. If I try to go into recovery, it goes to the boot screen and sits there. I have tried to switch partitions, it is stuck on A, without luck. The bootloader is locked and I can not remote unlock it via fastboot. Nor can I manually change the boot partition to B.
I have an open ticket with Essential, but they have been blowing me off and basically told me I'm out of luck since I was in their Beta program. They told me to go to XDA. A$$wipes! Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated since I'm stuck with a bricked phone and having to use an old iPhone since I cannot be without a phone.
Exact problem happened to me last week and a very helpful XDA member saved me.
Just hook up phone to pc by adb, type in 'fastboot devices' (while in fastboot mode) and install 7.1.1 os again. You'll lose everything but at least you won't be softbricked anymore.
Edit: sorry, just read you do not have unlock bootloader so this probably won't work.
Have you tried wiping data in while in fastboot? That might get it to boot.

You don't need an unlocked bootloader to sideload the install (following the BETA instructions: https://www.essential.com/developer/beta-builds
Since you can use fastboot, it looks like you have working ADB environment, so you should be able to follow those instructions. The STOCK recovery works very differently than TWRP, so make sure you follow those intructions, particularly the "Apply update from ADB" part. It took me a while to understand this, especially because the type on the screen is so tiny, I couldn't tell any words were changing.
I'm having the same issue (stuck on the boot logo "powered by android" screen) and I can get into fastboot mode, however if I try to go into recovery mode it just gets stuck on the boot screen again.
When in fastboot mode, the device state is "locked" is there any ways to get this fixed?
You could try: (you will lose all your data)
fastboot -w
fastboot reboot

Have you tried booting to bootloader and mounting /system?
This is obviously corruption of the firmware, and has nothing to do with wiping userdata. Download the full firmware and flash all of it through fastboot.
I also have my phone stuck The bot is closed and I can not do anything

HELP! Stuck in fastboot!! (bricked?)

Dear everyone,
I am stuck in fastboot. I installed the greek TWRP, and cleaned my data by typing ''yes''.
I connected my phone to my PC to put a ROM zip on it, but it only glitched out (it showed multiple storages in Windows)
I restarted my phone, and it won't boot in recovery. When I try to boot to recovery via adb, it just shows
PS C:\adb> fastboot boot recovery.img
Downloading 'boot.img' OKAY [ 0.616s]
booting FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
I am really scared now that my phone is hard bricked. Not sure why though.
Flashing a fastboot ROM wont work either, it just says flash done instantly.
I have done this so many times on my other Xiaomi phones I had without any problems.
And also, is it possible to turn the phone off for now? Because I dont want to have the fastboot screen burned in.
Regards

Did you try flashing the fixed russian twrp? When I flashed the greek twrp on my phone and rebooted through adb it didn't reboot so I rebooted manually and it rebooted into stock recovery. I rebooted into fastbood and flashed the fixed twrp and it worked. If you can get into fastbood you have a chance of reflashing twrp or flashing stock rom so I don't think its bricked yet

Hi, Hopefully someone can assist you here....
Only possible way is to pull the boot.img from the Fastboot ROMs Thread. Otherwise you may have to try MSM to unbrick your device.

@Huskied Will flashing only the boot.img delete all data from internal storage?
I want to boot into a twrp.img so I can decrypt and recover the data but I get the same failure to authenticate error.

If I understand correctly, and before I get too excited about getting my data back, then does that mean I can fix this authenticate error without losing my encrypted data if I do fastboot flash boot boot.img?
(I have some book chapters from my novel that I really don't want to risk losing so its important to figure out if twrp will let me decrypt the data if I flash the new boot.img)

If it doesn't boot and you can't your data back, Dirty flashing might be the last hope. Otherwise, Data will stay encrypted unfortunately.

Question Nothing Phone 1 hangs in bootloader/fastboot mode. Not rooted and bootloader unlocked. bricked

Hello,
I have a Nothing Phone 1 that hangs in bootloader/fastboot mode.
The bootloader is unlocked.
Unfortunately, the phone can no longer be booted into recovery mode.
With fastboot the device is still recognized.
So you could still flash files via fastboot.
The phone was not rooted.
The phone previously ran with the original stock firmware 1.1.7 hotfix.
It is an EEA device.
Is there anything that can be done?
Or is it now an expensive paperweight?
Try running "fastboot reboot recovery" in the terminal with your phone connected.
Unfortunately this does not work.
Thanks for the quick reply.
The device then boots back into the bootloader
It looks like they have Nothing OS downloads here. You could just try reflashing the phone through fastboot.
Looks like someone else is having the same problem. Keep an eye on that thread in case a solution comes up there.
so, i have the unpacked payload.bin image files. Here fastboot tells me several errors with odm.img FAILED (remote: '(odm_b) No such partition'), with product.img FAILED (remote: 'Partition not found'), with system.img FAILED (remote: 'Partition not found'), with system_ext.img FAILED (remote: '(system_ext_b) No such partition') and with vendor.img FAILED (remote: 'Partition not found').
After a restart, the error remains.
There is also the fastbootD mode, but this does not work or does not boot.
After this command the device hangs in bootlogo (nothing).
Unfortunately very sad that there is still no solution for this. let's hope that there is soon a solution for this.

Type "fastboot reboot fastboot" in the terminal, with your phone connected, and then run "fastboot flash <yourimagename>.img".
yes, when i enter this command the device restarts and hangs in the bootlogo and in the terminal it says then wait for any device. That means the Nothing Phone does not start the fastbootD mode.
And if he doesn't do this, I think it looks really bad.
Are you using Windows to flash it?
Yes windows 11 with the latest drivers, but I have already considered using linux.
Which linux distribution would be best. Then I will download it and try it out.
I would recommend Ubuntu, if you have a spare computer to install it on (or dual boot). Just make sure you install the tools needed from here (Scroll down to the "Command line tools only" section and download the Linux version)
I only use Linux, so let me know if you have any questions.
Ok thanks. I will have a look and install it on a notebook later.
You have to be very careful. I had the same problem (bootloop in fastboot) and by dint of manipulation, no more fastboot, my smartphone is hard brick (black screen with logo and message key to shutdown)

If your phone has a Qualcomm processor, you still have EDL mode.
It is not bricked. Just flash any cutom rom, I recommend Paranoid Android. Then revert back to stock NOS.
@MakDroid
I just installed Topaz 1 (A13) to save my bricked phone. How can i revert back to stock NOS from A13? There is any option or i have to wait for full rom with A13?

Download NOS 1.1.7 full from here.
Extract payload.bin and place all the extracted .img files inside a folder named "images".
Copy the images folder and the attached bat file (extract the zip to get the bat file) to the platform-tools folder.
Run the bat file and it will start flashing. Wait for it to complete and then simply update to latest version using stock updater.
