TWRP Stuck after upgrade to Nougat - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
i just flashed the newest Pure Nexus Rom and everything went fine.
I forgot to flash the SuperSU Zip so i tried to got back into TWRP, but now it stuck.
The System boots normally, only TWRP wont boot.
Anyone had that problem too?

if anyone else has the same issue, here is the answer:
I forgot to erase the userdata or cache.
If you have the same problem use fastboot!
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata
Then it should work again.
(Everything on your own risk)

If you dont flah SuperSU asap, TWRP will not stick on reboot (w nougat). That was the issue.

No SuperSU was not the problem.
It happened before i flashed the SuperSU zip.
As far as i know, there is a problem if you upgrade to Nougat and dont format the userdata and cache because of the encryption or sth like that.

Exactly. It happened before you flashed SuperSU zip. Not flashing SuperSU caused your problem. It needs to be flashed the first time you go into TWRP or you won't be able to boot back into TWRP. The previous poster is correct.

Maybe we talk about different problems
Ive formatted cache and userdata yesterday,
now i can go back into twrp.
(SuperSU is not flashed now).
Just tried it, works perfectly!

I never, ever flash userdata, and never had an issue.
We can agree to disagree. Either the other poster and I arent understanding your question, or you arent understanding our reply. It's cool, it happens.
But TWRP not sticking is due to not running SuperSU at the end of the install process. It wont stick.

And now i know the misunderstanding!
My sentence was a little bit silly formulated:
It didnt stuck by flashing SuperSU. I just forgot to do that and when i recognized this, i want to boot into recovery. Then i recognized the bootloop.
So SuperSU as itself was not involved. By the way BeansTown wrote in the Thread for PureNexus Rom that you have to format your userdata (normally over TWRP).
Shame on me that i didnt read before start flashing

You should take a look at this post in the official TWRP thread for a clearer reason why.

So I followed the guide and updated to 7.1.1 and did the normal "fastboot flash recovery xxx" then "fastboot reboot bootlader" then rebooted it via phone I go to "Recovery" from my phone and I get a screen saying "No Command" I tried to flash twrp-3.0.3-0-angler.img
Did I miss something?

After flashing TWRP from the bootloader, go directly into recovery and flash SuperSU 2.78 or newer to make it stick permanently.

Hmm. If you are on stock, reflash the boot, system, recovery, and vendor from the factory image that matches your stock, security update. Restart the phone and boot into Android. Restart into the bootloader then fastboot flash recovery TWRP-angler.img. See if it lets you boot into TWRP then. If not, try an older version of TWRP and see if that will flash and allow you to boot into it.

I think my system portion is corrupt... Any chance of saving it?

I have a 2012 Nexus 7. At the time it had a locked bootloader but it was rooted with cm11 & TWRP on board. I downloaded the Nexus toolkit & tried to upgrade to lollipop when it was officially released. Somewhere along the line, I think the system partition got corrupted. I can manually flash all IMG files except system. I can get into bootloader & recovery. I even tried flashing TWRP again to reflash cm. TWRP took but cm failed to install. Anyone else have this issue? The tablet appears to boot but it just gets stuck at the Google screen with the lock at the bottom. Never goes past that point. Any help to revive this tablet would be much appreciated.

Can you enter recovery or fastboot mode? If so, use either to attempt and repair (format) the system partition, then reflash the ROM of your choice.

In Twrp recovery,
1. go to wipe menu and advanced wipe.
2. select system partition then tap repair.
3.Flash your rom

Ok so that worked to flash cm but will this continue to happen if I try flashing the official lollipop update? I'm trying to return to stock so I can give the tablet to my nephew. I don't want him jumping into recovery or bootloader & wrecking it for good

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.

Pixel XL will not boot after TWRP mishap

Already been unlocked and running pure nexus for a while, during flashing paranoid android I ran into some trouble and tried to reboot into TWRP, it did not load into TWRP because I forgot to flash the recovery again the last time before rebooting, no biggie.
I fastboot boot TWRP.img from my PC and then flashed rc2 zip from my internal storage, restore my backup and reboot. No luck, I get sent right back to TWRP every time and it never ask me to decrypt my partition.
So now I'm stuck with and encrytpted partition that I can't access, and even trying to fastboot boot TWRP and then flash rc2 from OTG is not fixing the issue, sends me right back to TWRP without decrypt prompt no mater if I choose power off, reboot, bootloader.
I can get to boot loader running adb bootloader from cli.
I'm not sure what to do from here, am I really bricked?
Any help is really appreciated.
Thank you.
Just try to flash TWRP, reboot recovery only, then go to wipe, advanced, and format internal storage, wipe everything once more and restore and boot your nandroid. RC2 has issues with restoring nandroid by the way, use RC1. You probably just have corrupt storage.
It's not possible to fastboot boot twrp and install twrp when you are not on stock boot on both slots. This will always leeds you to a twrp bootloop.
Just fastboot stock boot to slot a and b and then install twrp again and you should be fine.

I just did the same darn thing. I was trying to flash PN July update and I always knock it out no problem. However, for some reason, I rebooted right after flashing the July PN and forgot to reflash twrp. I'm rebooted into the ROM, but how do I get twrp recovery back on the device?

Recovery flash won't actually work

I'm on OxygenOS 5.1.7 (Android 8.1) with unlocked bootloader but stock recovery, coming from full OTA update on rooted OOS 5.1.5, crypted data.
If I try to flash recovery (tried many version, last one is TWRP 3.2.3 siankatabg) from fastboot the flash works with "OKAY" and "Finished" messages, but too quickly (0.013s for writing), and it doesn't actually install TWRP. After reboot I'm still on stock recovery.
I tried to flash full 5.1.7 zip again. It went well, but too quickly, and didn't solve the problem.
How can I fix without having to format data?

Have you flashed magisk after reboot to twrp recovery? Otherwise oxygenOS will overwrite twrp with stock recovery on its first reboot.

Maybe you've missed some steps earlier to the flashing of twrp. Check this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/oneplus-5-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3624877
If you have further issues, please post a console log of the commands you typed and the errors if there are any.

Solved! I was doing "reboot recovery" instead of "boot recovery.img". Noob mistake
Thanks!
you need to flash Magisk before rebooting from TWRP
I am following all the steps in guide but when i try to install TWRP by siankatabg it keeps me looping back to fastboot.
Not facing any issues if i install normal TWRP recovery.

After update to V11.0.4.0.QFJEUXM TWRP no longer available

Hi Guys,
yesterday the new update came out, great.
I of course immediately pulled the zip (source) and installed it with TWRP (source).
So far no problems.
After a while I realized that I no longer had root because the apps stopped working.
When I wanted to boot into the TWRP to reinstall Magisk, I unfortunately found that it was no longer available, but only stock recovery.
Well, I thought to myself and tried to reinstall TWRP (method-twrp-3.3.1-2-davinci-fix), which was fatal, because my cell phone only booted into the Fastboot.
Then I got my cell phone, set up again with the Fastboot method.
Now I'm back to 11.0.4.0 but unfortunately without TWRP and root.
Can someone please describe how I can get TWRP and root again on Android 10?
I am thankful for every help !!!
Same thing happening to me, no matter what I do, stock recovery keeps overwriting TWRP
Oh dear, that doesn't sound good.
I hope there will be a solution to the problem soon.
I don't want to do without TWRP and root.
I wanted to try it according to these instructions "https://miui.blog/redmi-k20/twrp-mi-9t-redmi-k20-vbmeta-mauronofrio/". But don't trust me, I'm afraid that it won't work and I can start all over again.
Flash official TWRP this morning with fastboot commands without problem.
1. reboot in fastboot mode
2. Flash recovery with this command "fastboot flash recovery yourrecovery.img"
3. Reboot in recovery with this command "fastboot boot yourrecovery.img"
Any problems here.
The fact that twrp is lost when flashing official rom (even thought twrp itself) is normal. You just have to reboot into bootloader and flash twrp again and it will be back.
Your problem here is that you are using an old and unofficial twrp build, that has problems on newer roms. Flash official twrp and you'll be fine

Check it out...
I finally got it
I did the following.
"V11.0.4.0.QFJEUXM" flashed in the TWRP and booted into the system, TWRP will be overwritten.
Now flashed TWRP "twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img" in Fastboot and booted into Recovery (TWRP).
To be on the safe side, I had the cell phone booted again into the TWRP in the TWRP.
Then I flashed Magisk "Magisk-v20.3.zip".
Booted cell phone into the system and everything works.

You can use OrangeFox Recovery if you want a TWRP that can survive after flashing MIUI ROMs or updates :

To install TWRP, is it neccesary to wipe Data (or something else)?
And if Data must be wiped, does it mean that Data will no more be encrypted as originally by MIUI?
I have 11.0.4.0, rooted by Magisk (Magisk installed simply by patching and flashing boot.img, did not need TWRP for, did not wipe Data, etc) and I possibly want to have TWRP but don't want to loose encryption of Data, Widewine L1 and so

You don't need to wipe anything to install a custom Recovery (like TWRP).
TWRP can handle ROM encryption, you just need to install a correct TWRP, and version, for your current MIUI / Android version.
A custom Recovery doesn't change Widevine level.
And TWRP is useful in case of bootloop (because of an installed Magisk module, by example) or if you want to easily reinstall Magisk after ROM update.

Ok thanks, so starting from v11.0.4.0 QFJEUXM, rooted by Magisk (did not wipe Data or so, just patched and flashed boot img), is it ok just to flash (from Fastboot) twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img, downloaded from the official site https://twrp.me/davinci/twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img

Something is fishy. IMO, if that official TWRP is really ok for 11.0.4.0, then it should correctly boot by:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-davinci.img
But phone rebooted into the dark.
TG, I didn't really flash with, so by long pressing Pow it rebooted to system.
Tried again, no avail
Edit:
Tried the same fastboot boot with
twrp-3.3.1-12-davinci-mauronofrio.img and also OrangeFox-R10.1_1-Stable-davinci.img (obtained by unzipping OrangeFox), but it also reboots to dark and I have to long press Pow to reboot to system

You can install twrp by All In One tool
You can find its thread here itself
I took the official TWRP. " Link "
Flashed in fastboat and then booted the phone with a key combination in TWRP.
With the Fastboot command it didn't work for me either, the cell phone remained black ...
