Cannot browse files to Flash in TWRP

After manually flashing files to upgrade to 6.0.1, I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.0. But I am not able to flash supersu from sdcard because when I browse to the folder, it looks empty.
Anyone has any idea why this is happening?
if you have not formatted userdata after you flashed the recovery img in fastboot that would be one reason, the other reason could be if you used a pin/pattern/password for your phone. if you disable that or format the userdata in fastboot then you should be able to see it.
TWRP 2.8.7.0 didnt support decryption, and that may be why you cant
starting with 2.8.7.1 and now 2.8.7.2 it does support decryption.
Please download 2.8.7.2 and flash that and report back, bet ya its going to work fine after that.

You're using an outdated version of TWRP, it can't decrypt your storage. Update to the latest version and it'll be fine.

TWRP 3.1.1 on oxygenos2

Hi i was about to update my phone and setting it to factory in order to update it to Oxygenos last version since i still using oxygen2 (andoid 5) etc...
I was about to do a twrp backup however i do no thave enought space so i've read on internet that with twrp 3.1+ you can backup directly on pc. I've tryed to update twrp however its not working and not starting the recovery partition. I've read that : (3.0.2-1 and above for OxygenOS 3.x and above) (3.0.2-0 and below for OxygenOS 2.x and below) however i need the updated version to backup directly on pc what can i do? some advice? i've looked for a modified version of twrp 3.1 for oxygenos2 but i did not find it :S
Before you do this, update TWRP via these instructions
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/oneplus2/install
skip down to this line "Installing a custom recovery using fastboot" as you do not need to unlock the bootloader as it is already unlocked since you have TWRP already.
Do not make a TWRP backup, It will not be of any use once you move to OxygenOS 3.6.1 since the backup will be of Nouget (android 5). The best way to upgrade would be to follow the steps here http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-2/oneplus_2_oxygenos_3.6.1/
Once you get to step 4, click the "View Instructions for TWRP Recovery" link then you can either dirty flash or clean flash the zip. I would recommend clean flashing, as in do the factory reset as mentioned in the second paragraph under step 4. However, do not directly flash the rom afterward, use the reboot option in TWRP to reboot into recovery then flash the zip.
NOTE: If you want to use Magisk to pass SafetyNet and have root, download the Magisk zip and flash after flashing the rom, or queue it to it flashes right after the OOS rom.
afterward let the phone boot up then do the setup. Once you have completed setup, enable developer settings and enable advanced reboot. use reboot into recovery to boot into TWRP
Now go ahead and make a TWRP Backup, This backup will be your Go-To backup if you want to go back to factory OOS 3.6.1 with the setup completed and Magisk already installed.
Not able to backup
The problem is that the last version of TWRP working on oxygenos2 is 3.0.2-1 and you can not make the backup directly on computer, i've traied toupdate twrp and it does not lounch however with that version of twrp (3.0.2) or before it works that was the point if there was any modified twrp for oxygenos2 and with twrp version 3.1 or higher.
TWRP v3.x.x doesn't work with oxygen 2.
There's no way to boot TWRP v3 without installing oxygen 3.
If you need to backup your files (pictures, videos, WhatsApp messages etc.) you don't need TWRP because it backups only your system and your apps.
So simply attach your phone to your PC and copy all your files.
If you need a copy of your system then you need to free some space on your phone and do a backup with TWRP v2

[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

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.

Need some help - Strange OP6T storage issues after flash

Hello, I have a T-Mobile 6T which thanks to the XDA thread about bypassing T-mobile, is running the international firmware so I didn't have to kiss their butt trying to unlock the bootloader. Yesterday I decided to try the Resurrection Remix rom since it is unclear whether the Lineage 16 rom supports the in-display fingerprint reader, and I am too busy at work and too lazy to read the entire thread to see if it does.
I followed the instructions and updated my OxyOS to the latest .15 release via TWRP which I also updated to the latest version via OTG using a USB drive because I was unable to unencrypt using the older Blu-Spark TWRP version I had installed. After the OxyOS update (on both partitions) I flashed TWRP again, rebooted to recovery and installed Pico Gapps.
I found the Resurrection Remix rom to be very buggy and I hate the way the in-display biometric works (very slow and I don't like the paw print used as fingerprint placement). Anyway I started installing apps and after 4 apps installed, it says there is no space left in storage.
Nothing will update, and when I try to check storage with any file explorer it says "access denied" or just won't load. I've tried everything. Wiped the data and did factory reset, then flashed stock rom again and same issue. What am I doing wrong?
That looks like a messed up flash. And is pretty common. Considering that A/B is still new and everyone has his own method of flashing. So assuming you can make it back to latest Stock OOS (9.0.15 right now). If you dunno how to then simple reboot to recovery, flash OOS ZIP and then TWRP. Again Reboot to Recovery from within TWRP (Reboot -> Recovery) and again flash OOS ZIP and TWRP Installer. For TWRP I recommend you to grab the latest one (3.3.1-6 as of now). Once flashed, Format Data (Wipe -> Format Data -> YES) and Reboot. Wait for it to boot up. Now you should be on Stable Stock OOS with TWRP Installed.
Now Download ROM of your Choice (RR, LOS, Bootleggers, whatever). You will also need the latest TWRP Installer (same as above) and Gapps (Nano/ Stock Recommended) and Magisk if you want to Root. Reboot to Recovery, flash ROM ZIP and TWRP Installer ZIP. Wait for it to Finish. Reboot to Recovery. Once in TWRP, again flash ROM and TWRP Installer. Once done, again. Reboot to Recovery from Within TWRP. (Read above on how to). Now, flash Gapps. Magisk if you want to Root. Once done, again do a Format Data. Reboot and be patient for ROM to boot. And then tell me wether this works or Not. Good Luck.

Need a backup ROM file for Note 3 N-9005

Hi, I was trying to flash a custom ROM via TWRP but failed and now it's showing no OS installed as I wiped everything. I also don't have a backup ROM to restore. I tried Odin but it doesn't detect my phone. So I need a backup ROM file of any N-9005 to restore it from TWRP.
Please help me.
What's your TWRP version?
Since Odin is not working for you, download this recovery image of TWRP 3.3.1-0:
https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-3.3.1-0-hlte.img.html
Now copy it to your phone, extsdcard, or via OTG.
Go to Install, Locate recovery image you copied, min right, tap "Image", the file will show up, tap on it, select "Recovery", and complete the process.
Now reboot recovery.
Download any ROM you want (without aroma built-in), try havoc os:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/ha...c-OS-v2.9-20191108-hlte-Official.zip/download
Copy and flash it normally.
My TWRP version is 2.8.7.0

Download 3.3.1-0 mentioned up there, copy to your phone, and flash the image to recovery partition.
It should upgrade when you reboot recovery again.
Then you can flash AOSP ROMs without a problem.
