Phone boots only in recovery SOLVED

I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8lite/general/mega-thread-root-unbricking-updating-t3400994 this guide in order to root my new p8lite (ale-l21). And it now starts only in recovery as adb shows but im not sure cuz its black screen for me.
So i got unlocked bootloader and updated it to android 6.0 and it all worked fine untill i installed twrp recovery and tried to enter fastboot. It started to boot only in recovery after trying to get in fastboot.
Any Help?
Im Panicing!!!!~

Did you try unbricking method? Chapter 4
I also rooted the phone using this method not sure why your phone got into bootloop. What twrp did you flash? 3.0.2? Because that one is for marshmallow.

Flash the original recovery and then put firmware(dload folder) in your sdcard and turn on your phone by pressing all buttons. The update should start automatically. Just wait 10~15 mins(even if the screen is black).

Ran EasyRecowvery 1.3b3. Now phone doesn't boot to any recovery. (including stock!)

After attempting to use this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/lg-h918-t-mobile-one-click-recowvery-t3491969
It appears that I do not have any recovery installed or it appears I don't have a bootable recovery. Previously I got the custom TWRP recovery to work but the installer went ahead before I was able to wipe data. Now I cannot even boot into stock recovery. even the command "adb reboot recovery" just makes the phone start up normally. Volume down + Power makes the phone start normally as well.
attempting to run the tool again will cause it to deny flashing the custom IMG file as it tells me my recovery is already modified and won't continue unless I turn off verification (highly ill-advised) It refuses to flash TWRP.
At least I have a working phone and not a boot looping brick but is there a way to get stock recovery back just so I can try again? I have been told I need to re-lock my bootloader and hopefully that will restore everything back to the way it was so I can start again.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hmm...could Try that. But the adb command doesnt do anything either
Edit: tried it. It gave me a factory reset option but no stock or custom recovery

And this wont brick? I'm worried about potentially not having a recovery and wiping the current OS and not having a way for it to reinstall it (since i may not have a useable recovery)
Btw i appreciate your help greatly

If it is the stock recovery it will only format your system to how it is out of the box.
If it goes into TWRP then you'll know.

That doesn't work for me on my Freedom Mobile H915 with a locked bootloader. I only ask how to without ADB because I want to help someone else that bricked their device upgrading the firmware to factory reset it and/or wiping cache hoping it'll help.

Dont reboot the device after flashing recovery in ADB. Boot straight to recovery.
Can a mod please move this thread to the proper location?

This thread should be moved to the q&a section

but can u tell me how to reboot straight to recovery while finish flash recovery in fastboot mode, i can't find way do this.
I have unlock the bootloader so each time i boot up the phone, first there is a lg logo displaying for about 2 second and then a warning msg will appear on the screen. this warning message will display on the screen for about ten second and then a lg logo appear again then boot the android system. i don't know how to interrupt the normal boot process and get into recovery manual.
when i use adb to reboot to recovery, lg recovery will appear after the warning message screen off. i turnoff the phone and press power+down button together to try to get into recovery manually, but after the lg logo appear the second time, there is no way to start recovery. the phone will boot to android directly.

ok i find the way to get into twrp now by vidoe in youtube.

Also having this problem, however when I hold the POWER+VOLUME DOWN buttons to try to boot into recovery after shutdown/battery removal - the system STILL loads.
I get the warning saying the bootloader is unlocked though. After that the phone just starts up as normal, even though I'm holding the buttons

here is the step i find finally
1. re-boot into fastboot mode
2. flash twrp use fastboot command.
3. power-off the phone
4. power-on with power and volume down button holding
5. while lg log appears, release power button immediately for 1 second and then hold again
6. when recovery selection screen appears, select 'yes' both two times.
now phone boot to twrp recovery.
REMEMBER: WHEN YOU BOOT INTO LG'S SYSTEM AGAIN, YOU WILL LOST TWRP. IF U WANT TO USE TWRP AGAIN, U MUST RE-FLASH TWRP AND REPEAT THE STEPS ABOVE. THIS WILL LOST ALL DATA(PHONE WILL GET FACTORY RECOVERED)!!
I hope this can help you, good luck.

You need to delete the file recovery-from-boot.p in /system
Each time you boot, that file gets executed and restores the stock recovery from recoverybak. Alternatively, you can flash TWRP to both recovery and recoverybak.

Thank you.

Problem with TWRP Flashing.

Actually I tried flashing the twrp image file. And it also shows success in the CMD prompt. But then my phone freezes on the Fastboot Mode screen and the TWRP doesn't show up. Then I have to press the Vol + and Vol - Keys along with the Power Button to boot it up again normally try helping me out.

i had the same problem
do you have android 10?

Install twrp through magisk

try this, root without twrp, it worked for me
TWRP dont support Android 10

Twrp works normally on Android 10.

Tried installing Root with the help of Magisk App but then the wifi breaks

Cant enter into bootloader after Upgrade to 10.5.8

Hi everyone, i have an Oneplus 8 pro BA european one.
I was in 10.5.6 rooted and with xXx rom 11.0
I did this to install 10.5.8 update:
Before all Disable all magisk modules
- Update the Rom: settings> System> System upgrade. WITHOUT REBOOT;
- Open Magisk Manager;
- In Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Direct Install;
- Again in Magisk Manager, click on Install/Install/Inactive Slot;
- Reboot.​
After reboot magisk seems to be unnistalled:
https://ibb.co/55hJjwH
And also i cant enter into bootloader, i tried first selecting bootloader mode after pressing power buttom,
but in enters in recovery mode not bootloader mode. Then i tried to use ADB commands, adb reboot bootloder. It goes
into recovery again. Finally i tried to select bootloader mode in the recovery, but nothing...
Any idea?

Hm...I'm in a similar constellation, after update to 10.5.8 I lost magisk and so root. Somehow the extraction of 10.5.8's boot.img and conversion into magisk_patched.img didn't help me regain boot, but ends in crashdump. But from here, I always can get back to bootloader with long pressing vol+ and power, when screen turns black let go both buttons and immediately press vol- and power which brings me back to recovery, from here into bootloader. reflash stock boot.img and I'm fine, but still no root, of course.
ok now, did you try to simply reflash 10.5.8 from settings/system/systemupdate/local upgrade? :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

You are getting in to bootloader , I saw some discussion on the how to root without twrp thread , go check there people are having same issue and I think it works for a dude there and mentioned how he did so :good:

I'm having the same problem. After trying this I get into the CrashDump Mode and can't get out no matter what. Tried to get into the recovery to get fastboot or something but it brings me back to CrashDump Mode. Anybody know how to fix this? kind of don't want a brick here with me... Thanks in advance!

I can get into fastboot actually by holding both volume buttons but as soon as I try to get into recovery the screen stays black and my PC says USB device not recognized. I flashed the stock boot image from 10.5.6 but it didn't work as it just goes back to CrashDump Mode...

try flashing the stock boot.img to both slots ... fastboot set_active (slot), do this for each slot. then fastboot flash boot boot.img (in my case it doesn't matter which slot is set active, my OP8pro does boot anyway). then fastboot boot boot.img. good luck:fingers-crossed:
