TWRP isn't working - OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
the new versions of TWRP (<3.0.1.0) aren't working. When i boot into recovery theres just the 1+ logo and nothing happens. I've also tried the Hybrid TWRP, same error here. I've tried flashing both with fastboot and TWRP itself.
Any Solutions?
*Currently running TWRP 3.0.1.0, AOSP MM if that's important. Phone also rooted and unlocked.

I remember there's a flashable zip someone made that cleans up any residual files twrp may leave

Try going into TWRP folder and deleting .twrps file
Then reflash hybrid

Lack of recovery

Hey guys, I'm a longtime XDA browser but hardly ever post. I have the MXPE rooted with the newest TWRP build and has been running great since I got it. last night flashed the Deodexed 6.0 build from AICPs 5.1.1. I had some issues with the SD card being mounted as internal storage and erasing something so I tried to flash back to stock as my nandroids weren't seen as usable.
Long story short when I flashed back to stock, the recovery would never take. I've flashed the stock recovery and twrp to no avail. For some reason it wont actually stick. Everything else is back to stock but that. When I used the win toolkit and tried to flash twrp again it said something about the folder locations so I'm wondering if I messed something in the partitions.
Question is, have you guys ran into this issue or have any insight on where to go from here? I've looked around but I couldn't find a post that the same as this issue. As a side note, I can get into the bootloader just fine.
I appreciate any info that someone can provide.
Flash twrp. Reboot back to recovery from recovery. Reboot system.
Hopefully it's that easy. Stock os flashes stock recovery on boot. Rebooting recovery from recovery prevents that from happening.
From TWRP:
"Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot.... Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install."

Thanks for the info ffejy462. What happens when I try to flash TWRP and it doesnt stick? I know for a fact that I can boot into it temporarily with fastboot boot and the recovery file. Should I just flash it from there?

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. Flash recovery with fastboot. Boot into recovery. From reboot menu in recovery, select reboot recovery. Twrp will patch so recovery isn't lost again.

That did it. thanks alot ffejy462!

TWRP 2.9.7.0 to hybrid twrp inorder to put RR rom.

Hi ! as stated above im on 2.8.7 twrp but i need to put that sick RR rom, so I was wondering how to install hybrid twrp. I tried using the flash image thing on twrp to install that image and selected recovery partition between that and boot partition, but that didn't really work. I fastboot didnt help either, so since i didnt find any tutorial i was wondering if you pro's could help
what you mean by didn't really work?what the error message when flashing the recovery?
maybe the recovery file is corrupted, you maybe need to redownload it again and reflash it

Boot Partition Hidden in TWRP

My rooted Axon 7 (A2017U) does not show the boot partition in TWRP when backing up or restoring a backup that previously showed the boot partition. Here is what I did prior to the problem:
1. Manually updated stock rom to B32 using DrakenFX procedures, which includes flashing bootstack. (I made a backup after the upgrade of boot, data, and system - as usual.)
2. When I restored AICP nandroid, boot was shown along with data and system. Phone operated normally, but would not flash OTA upgrade - error 7. (Attempted to flash a previous version that I had flashed before with the same error 7.)
3. Rather than unzipping the rom and deleting the asserts line, I flashed the universal boot image from LineageOS and was able to OTA without issue, but when I ran the TWRP backup, boot did not show and only system and data backed up.
4. Restored the stock nandroid, boot did not show.
My phone is operating normally, but I find it disconcerting to have made an unintended change and would appreciate any help in correcting my error.
Thanks in advance.
Hi have you fixed your problem or not?

No, still waiting for assistance.
Reflash TWRP. I had partitions missing and there was a weird version of TWRP installed for unknown reasons. Reflashing the latest TWRP fixed my problem.

That worked. Thank you very much. Weird how that happened.
Just as a matter of interest, I just did a clean install of AICP, which required installation of universal bootstack, and found that TWRP version had been replaced with an old version that did not show boot partition when doing nandroid. Reflashed current build image and boot file was visible.
Keep the latest .img on TWRP, and when you flash the universal bootstack, flash the TWRP .img after. I've asked over at the LOS thread if they could update the TWRP version on the bootstack and nobody answered lol
Should we use the one from twrps official website? I'm having the same issue but I can't remember changing my recovery.

You don't change your recovery, the universal bootstack zip does
It's the same whether you use the zip from TWRP's official website or raystef66's download center really

TWRP Loop

Hi,
after flashing serveral custom roms (with open bootloader) via twrp (latest version), which btw worked perfectly till now, i suddenly produced a twrp loop. I tried to flash another custom rom, reinstall twrp, but no rom boots. Only twrp appears.
Because of this i can´t also open the port to flash a stock rom via QFIL. Is it possible in my situation to remove twrp and install stock recovery? I can´t find a corresponding img file.
Thanks!

[Q] Need help: Stuck on boot after trying to flash OOS 5.1.3

I tried to update to the newest version of OxygenOS but I'm now stuck on boot circle animation and not sure what to do.
I was initially on OOS 4.5.10
Here is what I did to try to update:
1. Downloaded OOS 5.1.3 from Oneplus website and also downloaded Magisk v16
2. Downloaded TWRP twrp-3.2.1-1-cheeseburger.img and then flashed to my phone.
3. Rebooted back into TWRP, then flashed the OOS 5.1.3 .zip file. Immediately after that, I flashed the Magisk .zip.
4. I then rebooted. I'm now stuck at boot.
I am now able to access TWRP. I wanted to try and restore using a Nandroid I made, but all my files appear as gibberish. I'm assuming this is an encryption issue?
What are steps I can take to fix this?
Edit: Figured it out.
Boot using BLU Spark recovery, or any other Oreo compatible recovery. Official twrp seems to have some issues now and then

Could you tell me the exact steps to take from where I am now? I don't want to break anything else.

1) First download twrp recovery from codeworkx (Make sure you have the latest one)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-oxygenos-5-0-t3725723
2) Boot to fastboot and flash the recovery.
3) Flash the rom zip file.
4) Flash magisk zip file.
5) Restart your phone.
##Note: If you want to flash the recovery file you can do that using twrp itself or using fastboot but what I've found that some apps (banking apps) don't work after replacing recovery.
