Warning - XT1060 Blur_Version.212.55.26 blocks custom recoveries

Exactly as the title says ... after flashing this update, even if unlocked, you can no longer flash a custom recovery.
Fastboot will show a successful flash, e.g. :
mfastboot.exe flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-ghost.img
sending 'recovery' (9488 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.849s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.969s]

But when you try to boot recovery, it's stock recovery.
This makes any attempt to flash a rom, regain root, etc. impossible.

And you are booting straight to recovery after flashing via volume down and then volume up to select not the power button?

After you flash TWRP, at the command prompt type:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
I can't remember where I read it but some people said they had to do that to get the custom recovery to stick.
THEN unplug your device from your computer and reboot into recovery by scrolling down with the volume down button to highlight recovery and then hitting the volume up button to select recovery.

Ok, figured this out ...
(was able to back down to the original 4.4.4 w/rsd-lite and regain TWRP ... to develop this process)
So ... the following can be done to upgrade to this new version, and retain TWRP (plus you have the new recovery later on for 5.1 when it comes along ...)
First, the presumption here is you are unlocked. If you are not, none of this will work.
Also, you will need RSD-Lite installed and operational.
Download :
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...RIZON_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3_cid2_1FF.xml.zip
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3/twrp-2.8.6.0-ghost.img
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22067374/GHOST_VERIZON_4.4.4_KXA21.12-L1.26-3/servicefile.xml
Unpack the GHOST zip file, and overwrite the "servicefile.xml" in the unpacked folder w/the one you downloaded, then copy the twrp .img in there.
Fire up RSD-Lite, put your phone in fastboot, and apply this update by loading the servicefile.xml as the update.
It will update everything, installing the TWRP instead of the new stock recovery.
Note: you can delete the twrp line in servicefile.xml if you wish to retain your existing custom recovery.
When done, you should reboot, update, and be up and running with the new 4.4.4 and TWRP ... so easy path back to root via TWRP.

I think all that needs to happen is after you flash TWRP - you don't boot into recovery. Instead, reboot into bootloader mode. This has been a problem from the beginning for some people with their MX13's and not a new thing. I don't think it has anything to do with the update. Some people have to reboot into bootloader after flashing TWRP in order to get it to stick for some reason.

@_litz Please understand that @JulesJam is correct... the proper way to flash a recovery is as follows...
Start the phone to the Fastboot AP/Bootoader menu
using moto's fastboot (aka mfastboot) exectue the following...
mfastboot flash recovery RecoveryYouWishToFlash.img
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
Then use the volume/power keys to enter recovery.
Once in the recovery, it is safe to Reboot the phone normally.
that mfastboot reboot-bootloader step has been crucial for getting the newly flashed recovery (3rd party OR Stock!) to "stick" on the phone.
Flashing with RSDLite is over kill.

You'd think that would be the case, right?
Except those EXACT STEPS ... didn't work.
If you attempted to boot into recovery directly from the bootloader, it rebooted the phone, which booted the OS.

And you used volume up to enter recovery after flashing twrp? That is the most common problem I see.

That is because you are pressing the power button when you should be pressing the volume up button.

Yep ... ain't my first rodeo ....
It flat out refused to take recovery.
I had to back it back down to the old 4.4.4 version, reflash TWRP, then I simply applied the whole RSD package (sans recovery) to re-upgrade it to the new 4.4.4.
Worked like a charm.
(Plus it gave me a chance to extract the fxz from the moto manager app)

You needed to reboot into bootloader by typing fastboot reboot-bootloader after your flashed TWRP. THEN disconnect your phone from your computer and boot into recovery by using the volume down to highlight recovery and volume up to select recovery.
If you follow those instructions, you will flash TWRP fine. No need to go through that long drawn out process you came up with.

Probably should rename or delete this thread, since its fairly misleading.

Check in the /system partition for a file named recovery-from-boot.p or something similar. If that file is there it will reflash the stock recovery when you reboot, and I've seen it reflash when booting into recovery.

I just used the TWRP manager app from the Play store after reverting to stock recovery and installing the OTA. It worked perfectly the first time.

I'm curious as to what is different.. because the other day after flashing stock recovery back on my phone, taking the update to 212.166.3 KXA21.12-L1.26-3 which Verizon just pushed, I used those EXACT STEPS to put TWRP back on my phone and had no problems.

Beats me ... for me, it didn't work ...
So after I got things back onto the old 4.4.4 version, I put together the FXZ with the modified xml file, and simply re-updated, applying both the update, and TWRP, all in one go.
anyone else on old 4.4.4 can do the same thing if they wish, which was why I posted the links and the instructions.

not to bump this thread, but I had zero issues going from stock with 212.55.26 ota update installed and flashing twrp. it just worked like normal.
i would agree with @superkeest seems like this thread should get renamed.

[H918] Back to Stock Everything

Saw a post in the roms section (for different variant) of a flashable to turn back to stock.
I flashed/rooted a while ago, I did a factory reset and now it boots into TWRP.
Looking to get it back to stock.
Thanks!

Reboot into twrp that's installed on recovery. Flash
this to get download mode back. Use it and LG UP in upgrade mode to flash a kdz to restore literally everything to stock.

How do I boot into TWRP? Feels like a silly question...
"adb reboot recovery" just boots to what looks like regular recovery. However, when I try to update or flash a .KDZ through LG UP, it will restart and flash up the twrp logo and say twrp 3.2.1-3. So I know the fcker is in there somewhere. I want it gone... all of it.
HALP!! Please.

OTA updates and unmodified official stock files won't flash via TWRP.
Try flashing a copy of your stock recovery, then try installing the OTA update via stock recovery.
By the way, is that Charlotte NC? I ask because I live in Rockingham.

Eh... Charlotte is about two hours from me. I'm at the bottom of the mountain, but I've been to Rockingham a few times. Dad graduated as a RCHS Cougar in '78.
Also, if you didn't already know, I'm the same fool from the noob thread. Glad you found me here. So, when I say it has download mode, I mean when I hit volume up and plug in, it flashes up and says it, then shows the twrp logo, then boots as normal. Calling 'adb reboot download mode' just reboots. You think the bootloader needs to be re-locked?

Yeah, I saw you in the noob thread, I came here looking for the issue you were having.
I'm not certain about the bootloader, I own LG devices, but none of them have fastboot or download mode so I don't have experience troubleshooting flashing issues on LG devices.
Have you tried removing root and any changes you've made to system via the file manager or terminal emulator that is built into TWRP then flashing a copy of stock recovery via TWRP then reboot recovery to allow stock recovery to boot then boot to fastboot and try locking the bootloader then try flashing firmware.

I may have got it! Maybe... don't pop the champagne yet. I couldn't get into TWRP at all. It would flash up then just boot regularly. Finally I tried to enter DL mode again but this time I kept holding down the volume up button and pressed every other button like I was entering a secret code on Mortal Kombat. It actually entered TWRP!
Luckily I had already put a laf.zip and H91820f.zip on the SD card. Flashed the ROM first... did nothing except put Magisk on it... don't want. Reboot, flashed laf.zip with my secret MK code, then I had access to the real DL mode! LG UP found it and flash the real ROM. Still working on it to make sure it's all good.
---------- Post added at 07:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:38 PM ----------
Yep, it's good now. Even updated itself to H91820h with no verification snags.
I shall now sell it on eBay for one billion dollars! Muahahaha!

[SOLVED]Tried to update Magisk from app, stuck at Fastboot screen, TWRP may be gone

I fixed the problem by just booting into the LG Factory Reset menu, in order to get into TWRP. I hesitated to do that for a while because I had no way to verify TWRP was still on my device. After running out of options, I decided to just go for it. To my (and probably no one elses) surprise, it went straight into TWRP, where I was able to flash H91820s and Magisk 16.0 in the same TWRP session. Rebooted, everything was how it was except on a new version of Android. Root was retained.
Tried to update Magisk on my TMobile H918 from Magisk version 16.x using the app, and selected Direct Installation. The device is now stuck at the fastboot screen, and I cannot boot into recovery from adb.
Is there a way I can repair things? I am unsure exactly what got deleted/corrupted in the process of the update.
EDIT: When I try to boot into TWRP, I get this error:
fastboot: error: cannot load 'recovery': No such file or directory

Can you get in Twrp with button combo? For me its while boot hold vol down and power then at lg logo release the power for a sec and re hold until the while screen and then select yes twice.
There is also download mode and reflashing twrp that way I believe...

I tried to boot into recovery, but adb detected no recoveries on the system.
I don't want to do the System Format Yes Twice thing because I believe TWRP is gone. And I am unable to re-flash due to "no such command."
The recovery is unable to be written to the device.

Stuck on "Fastboot Mode" screen

I stupidly tried using franco's app to flash cleanKernel on my rooted phone on 9.0.11, it failed of course and now can't boot my phone. I'm able to fastboot boot twrp.img but I'm not sure what is needed next. I've downloaded the full 9.0.11 ota file thinking something in it (or all of it) needs to be flashed from twrp. Afraid to do anything at this point for fear of losing data. Any tips are appreciated.
I've downloaded mauronofrio's rom-stock-fastboot utility but see he says it will clear data. I'm assuming all the .bat files will do this. Any way to avoid clearing internal storage?

From bootloader screen, using fastboot boot twrp.zip results in OP going to "Fastboot Mode" screen...and staying there. The zip is pushed to the phone but won't boot into TWRP. This started after I stupidly tried using franco's app to flash cleanKernel on my rooted phone. It failed of course and now can't boot my phone. My phone recently updated itself to 9.0.11, fyi.
Any ideas on how to fix this boot issue? Is it just a matter of flashing something from the full ota 9.0.11 file---some img file or something?

Boot twrp from the img and then flash the zip once twrp boots?

I was able to recover...thank god. Just used mauronofrio's flash utility. Removed the "-w" flag from the flash-all.bat file and all is good.

Hi, I have just got a OnePlus 6T and I am getting this same error even though I am using the twrp.img - when I run fastboot boot 'twrp.img' it sticks on the Fastboot Mode screen.
I have the .zip on the phone's internal storage along with Magisk ready to install but I can't get there.
I did manage to get into Recovery once in the last 3 hours but under Advanced the only 2 options I have are to reboot to fastloader of reboot to recovery which just takes me round in circles!
Have tried everything I can find/think of right now and am no further down the line
Any help guidance will be greatly recieved as nothing I can find on the threads here seem to help

When I think about it, it seems that the twrp.img I am flashing is not taking. When I go into recovery I get to choose 1 of 3 languages, I choose English and then I just get the 2 options as above - thing is, the font, layout etc. make it look like stock recovery and nothing like TWRP I have used before, no TWRP logo etc. Nothing

Ok.. can you get into TWRP? Is so reflash the stock rom.. the once it has flashed do not reboot, go back to install and flash the lastest twrp .zip do not reboot, go back to install and flash/install magisk, once it installs then reboot to system... It will take a bit... Once it reboots check your Magisk manager you may need to reinstall it, reboot to TWRP and reflash it.. reboot to system band you should be good to go...

Thanks and apologies if a two posts appear from me, I submitted one about 20 minutes ago and it isn't showing.
The issue is more than that, even when I try to flash the TWRP image it doesn't seem to take. The phone gets stuck on the 'Fastboot Mode' OnePlus flash screen and hangs there.
I have to hold the power and vol+ keys to get the device to restart and I then receive a message saying 'bootloader unlocked, data insecure etc.' and to press the power to stop the boot process. If I leave it the phone boots into OOS10.3.3.
If I press the power button I can get to recovery mode (albeit there is a password screen there which I have never seen on other devices I've had). I put my password in and choose English. I am then given the two options; reboot to fastboot or reboot to recovery. There is no advanced option to allow me to install TWRP or Magisk zips, as a matter of fact I don't get any TWRP at all, it looks like stock recovery.
Is the phone defaulting to stock recovery and not the TWRP image? That is what, in my very non-expert opinion seems to be happening. Is that possible and if so, any ideas how to fix?
I have completely flashed the phone so it is on stock OOS (10.3.3.) so can start afresh. It is a refurbed 'like new' so could that have anything to do with it?
Thanks for reading the long post - am wondering if there are some other tools I need use to change how it boots?

Fastboot not working anymore after the android 10 beta update

Hi xda Community,
I updated to the android 10 a week ago or so. Today i tried to downgrade to 9.0.1.7 cause the beta is way to buggy for me.
My problem is, that I can't use fastboot anymore like it was before. For example, I cannot boot via 'fastboot boot' method into recovery.
Every time I try to boot something I get FAILED (remote: unknown command)
C:\adb>fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-1-fajita.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.665s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)
finished. total time: 0.681s
Does somebody have a fix for this? Due the lack of TWRP, I cannot downgrade or don't now how to downgrade nor to install magisk.
Thanks in advance and have a great new week y'all

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this command will no longer work with Android Q due to Google new partition scheme.
You can check this thread out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516 - it contains fastboot roms of Android P, which you may flash, according to tutorial.
You may also try a local update method with the rollback package (https://www.getdroidtips.com/rollback-android-10-q-pie-oneplus-6-6t/).
Note that this will, unfortunately, wipe your data.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this command will no longer work with Android Q due to Google new partition scheme.
You can check this thread out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6t-t3862516 - it contains fastboot roms of Android P, which you may flash, according to tutorial.
You may also try a local update method with the rollback package (https://www.getdroidtips.com/rollback-android-10-q-pie-oneplus-6-6t/).
Note that this will, unfortunately, wipe data.

That is the method I followed to upgrade, worked perfectly, it did wipe data. Decryption does work.

Sure, you flash a patched boot img, with fastboot. Look into the Guides and News section you'll find what is needed. Either in 9.0.17 thread ( not renamed yet) or in How to keep twrp and Magisk thread
I don't see the point of having twrp for now, especially with the trick necessary to have decryption working.
It has been said millions time that updates work perfectly with or without twrp, with or without Magisk

I'm just wondering why their isn't any fastboot version mentioned in my fastboot mode. Looks a bit broken.
I think I wait till their is a stable way to root.
Thanks for the answers
