After reading up and being waived off the Official TWRP I originally used the open source (which I cant find on my phone or desktop) TWRP for my recovery.
I've been playing around with different ROMS on my Oneplus5 and ran into a TWRP loop after restoring from one ROM to another. It was suggested, and I followed the advice, to flash the Official TWRP and no more TWRP loop.
A week or so later, trying to restore from the Resurrection ROM to xXx ROM and I'm back in a TWRP boot loop.
I've tried different wipes before restoring and still looped.
Tried flashing this version of TWRP to recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/twrp-oneplus-5-wip-t3626134 and it was no help.
Any suggestions?
Try flashing no verity op5.zip
I don't think official TWRP can restore backups that include system data on the OP5 without going into a bootloop. Blu Spark TWRP works much better. I've never gotten a boot loop restoring any backup I made with that version of TWRP.

Thanks, it was getting a bit frustrating and before your solutions posted, in the interim I used Method 2 from here:https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/how-to/guide-fix-twrp-recovery-script-loop-t3649727 loading the stock bootloader wiped my device clean (all pics, my files, my TB folder gone) but I was able to load a ROM and boot (I hate Goggle, they can f up just about anything, but that god for their backup/restore, it got me up and running from scratch quickly ). I will give the blu spark a shot and @ se7ensde take a look at your suggestion.
It is a shame that TWRP restore is such a problem, and a random one at that. I have restored from ROM to ROM to compare them without an incident until....

Ok so first off I was successful in rooting the phone, installing twrp rec., flashing loki files, and then flashing wicked rom with ktweaker tw kernel. I made a backup of the stock rooted rom before wicked was flashed. Then my troubles started when I wanted to go back to my stock backup. The rom booted but has serious issues like black screen with only status bar working and then eventually freezing. I also made a backup of a working wicked and tried restoring that but then I just get stuck in boot loop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
what twrp version
did you wipe all before restoring
you could try to install Phils cwm recovery, folks say it works great and will restore twrp backups also

Follow full wipe procedures, have the same recovery you made the backup with, and try again.

I flashed the stock firm. Soft brick averted. Did the same goo manager recovery method, but now i'm thinking of flashing that cwm as ppl have reported the same nandroid backup issues with twrp. My version is 2.5.0.2. I will keep trying to get twrp for a while with others users till i get sick of it (semi twrp fan). Any further advice would be cool. Oh and I did a factory twrp wipe the first time this problem occurred.
I wipe data caches and system before flashing. No more advice. Had newest TWRP hang on Team Win screen. Several manual reboots into recovery till it worked. Maybe I better do restore to see if it works.

Hi Guys,
I'm Kinda new about making a new thread, so if anything's wrong let me know.
Just last evening my nexus 6p (on Android 7.0 official) got into a boot loop from a normal state. It just boots & right after when the white google logo transforms into 4 round object, it just reboots (it takes about 3-5 secs). I can access the boot loader but was unable to access to recovery from there as that takes it to bootloop again. I've tried flashing it, but since i had already updated to Nougat official version & the official image for 6p is yet to come, i tried with some earlier version of Marshmallow. but that failed as well. can it be that i need to select the right version of factory image as i really do not remember my old marshmallow versions anymore.
It seems i'm out of options right now. :crying:
Any advice guys??
TIA
Found this on Nexus 6p help forum. Haven't tried it though so I'm unable to confirm if it works or not.

Have you tried using fastboot to temp boot to recovery?
fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-1-angler.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.409s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.680s]
finished. total time: 1.097s

same behavior, nothing but a bootloop
I'm dowloading an official MM image, just to get the stock recovery and see if I can temp boot in it
edit: not possible, I even tried to flash twrp, I tried flashing stock recovery from MTC20F.. tried to temp boot in both, all with no luck and with phone constantly alternating between the "Your device cannot be checked for corruption" screen and the white Google screen with the open lock.

Guys its very simple, flash the stock mtc20f image first. After that boot it, it wont work but don't worry. Onece it bootloops go into bootloader and fastboot flash twrp 3.0.2-0. once thats done boot into twrp recovery. Onece in twrp make a backup of the image you just flashed that don't work. Once thats done mount system in recovery. Once mounted plug phone into computer and open the twrp folder you will see on your internal wich will have the backup that you just made. Transfer an old working backup into that folder that way twrp will recognize that backup. Once the backup is in the folder you shoukd see 2 backups in there, your new one that doesn't boot and your old one that does work wich you just put into the twrp folder. Once done go to restore and restore the backup of the working rom you just put in there, make sure to check off all on restore. Once done reboot system and it should boot. This will only work if you have a backup of an old working rom.

OMG I finally got mine to work
I'll note down the exact steps , most of which may or may not be relevant
1) Flashed MTC20F using TWRP 3.0.2-1
2) Booted into recovery and wiped everything and the partitions
- Add - Booted back into twrp 3.0.2-1 and then swiped to allow modifications
3) Then fastboot flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0
4) Restored my backup ( except recovery)
5) Still got stuck in the google screen.
Now the next parts are a bit weird
6) Booted into TWRP, flashed vendor.img from pure nexus rom
7) wiped everything except internal storage
8) Flashed vendor.img, pure nexus rom and gapps and then flashed vendor.img again
9) Rebooted and it worked
Let me know if it worked for you guys or if you need any more help

Unfortunately, this didn't work for me.
I believe you should be fine with just trying to flash an earlier recovery version using fastboot... if you're trying to save your data and then factory flash MM and then restore your data to the phone, you should be able to use fastboot pull and then copy them back once you've got a working device by simple copy from windows.

Can you elaborate the steps pls? also have you had an earlier back up of your phone which i don't have?
Has anyone been able to get this to work without being able to get into TWRP? I can't get into recovery whether it is a temp boot to it, or fastboot flash either version..
I have compiled a list of the 20+ methods from various users in THIS thread. It's the second post.
Stuck in a bootloop still @tr4nqui1i7y but will try your methods as well... Fingers crossed..
So I do not if this may help anyone who as run into this issue but still may want to retrieve their data before formating their data or factory resetting. While running TWRP 3.0.3 and flashing the latest 7.1.1 files for angler. I would sometimes be able to boot into the recovery like 3/10 tries ( from the bootloader menu). My data was encrypted and it woul freeze constantly when trying to decrypt soo i decided once I finally got it to boot again in the recovery menu(TWRP after hours mind you) I let the phone stay idle for a few mins should the cpu would cool down that my battery percentage would drop around 41% and the tried to decrypt data which went tru successfully. I retrieve what I Could and it froze during a process of a nandroid backup and started bootlooping again. I believe the battery percentage may be linked to the early shutdown issues that many user were reported having and the bootloop of death we are experiencing. Hopefully this info may help someone else.
I have a systemless-rooted SM950FD model with AQDG firmware/baseband, with TWRP.
Before anything took place I backed up with TWRP 3.1.0 the essentials: boot, recovery, system, data, baseband & efs.
Wanting to update to the latest AQH3 firmware without losing any data, I used the 'TWRP-flashable' firmware provided by Renovate here http://www.renovate-themes.de/firmware.html
This zip claims to update bootloader, modem and TWRP.
The update seemed to go well, but when I rebooted I the phone was stuck on Galaxy S8 logo. TWRP disappeared, as did any other recovery, so I had to flash TWRP from ODIN (at which point I updated to latest TWRP version, 3.1.1-2)
Now back on TWRP, I am trying to restore a bootable system from my backup, but no combination has worked for me so far. I always do a quasi-full wipe (system, caches, data) and restore boot/system/data/baseband/efs (with minor variations between the 5). So far nothing has succeeded in booting the phone, it always gets stuck at the Galaxy S8 screen.
At this point I could totally install a stock-like rom which will fast-forward me to the latest version, but since my goal was to keep my original stock rom without losing sms/apps, I would at least need to boot up once in my original backed up state.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much,
Batman Rom Is very close to stock.
I would say flash that one. In fact it's better than stock.

Thank you, I ended up flashing a custom ROM, unfortunately I did not have time to do this intermediary step, but thank you!
I have a Moto X Style XT1572 Indian version. I updated it to stock Nougat 7.0 via OTA when it was rolled out in India. Later in January I unlocked the bootloader and installed unofficial TWRP recovery for flashing custom ROMs. I did take a full backup of stock ROM immediately when I installed the recovery. Since then I'm using custom ROMs built for Nougat modem.
At present, how can I go back to stock Nougat? I did do a full wipe (except internal memory) and tried to restore the stock Nougat backup which I took in January. The backup always gets successfully restored. However, when the phone boots up completely and reaches the language selection screen(the first screen when the phone boots up), the phone reboots and goes into a bootloop just displaying the bootloader unlocked screen. The only option I have then is to flash any custom ROM again and they do work perfectly. So what must be restricting the stock backup to boot? Also, is there any other way to go back to stock Nougat?
anyone, please?

This thread looks like it has the nougat full firmware package for your phone. Try fastboot flashing all of it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1572firmwareclarkretasiaindiads7-t3735257
If that doesn't work out, here's another trick I've seen work on occasion. Restore your TWRP backup, but do not reboot into it. After restoring the backup, use TWRP to flash stock recovery, then reboot to recovery and do a factory reset with the stock recovery. Then reboot into the stock rom. That can clear up some internal storage problems that hang things up. There are other ways to do it, but this is easiest.

I'll give a try to the fastboot version.
I was wondering if there is alternative option for Oneplus 6T/fajita recovery, like OrangeFox, RedFox, or other recoveries beside TWRP. TWRP doesn't work to restore on OP6T after backup. If I try to restore from previous backup, I will always end up in a continuous boot loop :'( and to resolve is issue, I have to flash the original ROM again but that affects some of my apps, so I have to check each app and reinstall them. In general TWRP doesn't work well on OP6T like other phones, and I couldn't find any alternative recovery options, and I wish someone is working on this.
Please let me know, even if there is beta or unofficial version that works with full ROM Backup and restore.
Thank you
FYI- I tried TWRP on different Pie custom Roms and OOS9 but the result is always the same, endless boot loop.
Nothing exists
You just taking a wrong steps while restoring. I've already done a two or three successful restores
Just backup these partitions:
1. Boot
2.System image
3.Vendor image
4.Data

I tried in that order and it doesn't work. I always end up in the boot-loop.
I even tried the following steps.
1. Boot to twrp recovery after full backup
2.Restore System image only
3.Reboot to twrp recovery
4.Restore Vendor image only
5.Reboot to twrp recovery again
6.Restore Data only
7.Restart
=>End result is the same, boot-loop.
I think TWRP is only good to flash zip files on Oneplus 6T .

You must be doing something wrong, perhaps using the wrong outdated version? The latest "unofficial" version posted here works, I can personally attest to that, but the older "official" version available on the TWRP site doesn't. It's outdated, and only works with Oreo and older ROMs.
There were issues with the "unofficial" TWRP and "Q" up until a couple of months ago that required the flashing of an additional file to get it to work properly, because of encryption errors, but even during that time period it was still working as expected on Pie.
Double check what you're doing, as you are making a mistake somewhere. The problem isn't with TWRP.
Link to the OP in the TWRP developer's thread here.
