help! not sure if i hard bricked my phone

Hi everyone i flashed kings marshmallow hydrogen os but i didnt like it so i reverted back to my blisspop via nandroid backup. Unfortunately I am know stuck at the oneplus boot screen with the oneplus logo in the middle and the powered by android logo at the bottom. I am unable to boot into twrp. I was able to boot into fastboot mode and managed to flash twrp recovery however the phone will not load into recovery and goes to the oneplus boot screen. I think i softbriked or hard bricked phone because i went from kings hydrogen os which is marshamllow based to my nandroid backup which is blisspop 5.1. IDK what to do know
Bottom line i can boot into fastboot mode. device manager on my pc recognizes phone as android device- marshall london bootlooder interface any suggestions?

If you can Boot to Fastboot you have a softbrick. Somewhere around here is a thread for the recovery tool with the qualcom drivers. Read carefully and maybe give it a try.

i did flash via fasboot after i flash it says sending recovery (okay) writing recovery (okay) than i reboot but. but when i try to reboot into recovery it does not reboot into RECOVERY it justs stuck at one plust boot screen.

Stucking 1+ logo is because having unsupported recovery from system... After you did restore did you got any error...
Get both recoveries and try command
fastboot boot recoveryname.img
One of them has to boot. Youre doing something wrong

P9 lite Bootloop, but can use fastboot

Today I tried to restore an old backup through TWRP, but for some reason my phone is now in bootloop and I cannot access TWRP anymore. Nevertheless, I can use Fastboot. How can I proceed in order to be able to boot into TWRP and restore a backup?
Thank you for your help
p.s. the bootloader is ofc unlocked

I tried, but it does not work. For example, `fastboot reboot` and `fastboot reboot bootloader` work. Any idea why? I tried to install again the recovery and it succeeded, but I could not boot into it :/
EDIT. it seems that `fastboot reboot recovery` command does not exist. How to get there then?

Boot from SD card. EMMC memory is dead

I have the wt86047(HM2014813,HM2XTDPro) and I have dead emmc on my phone. The internal /data /system and /cache partitions are unmountable. So I decided that I try to boot from sdcard.
I have used this tutorial Dual boot to partition my sdcard and modify the recovery and the rom(Lineage 14.1) to look for the system, data and cache partitions on sdcard.
But when I try to boot up the phone is stuck at the MI logo and I see my device in fastboot. To be able to boot to my device I need in fastboot to execute fastboot boot modifiedboot.img. This is not too much convenient as I need pc to turn my phone on. I also can only boot recovery and not to get to the recovery mode. I can however flash the image to the /recovery partition. I suspect that my /boot partition is also corrupted. I tried to manualy flash boot also with no succes. Any ideas how to boot the phone without need to use fastboot?

I have the exact same issue with the same phone.
You have modified only the fstab file ?

In boot.img yes(fstab.qcom), in TWRP the etc/recovery.fstab and in the updater script any mention of /system and /data.
The phone boots with the fastboot boot, but it is quite slow as I have quite cheap sd card in it. I would buy a better one If I would be able to boot the phone without computer.
EDIT: Camera is also not working for some reason

Try folding the fastboot ROM.
Same thing happened to me. I tried and flashed the fastboot image. It worked. This happened to me a long time ago. Don't worry about bootloader if you can see the fastboot screen with the mi man on your phone .

This won't help. This is the hardware issue. The storage chip on the motherboard is dead. You can not write anything to it. It is possible to replace that chip but it is a quite difficult operation.

Issue with flashing twrp

Hi guys .... every time I try to flash twrp.img via fastboot it says successful but when I boot into recovery I find it the stock one ... does anyone know what's wrong ??
ps : when I enter "fastboot boot twrp.img" it boots very well into twrp...but when I enter "fastboot flash twrp.img" it doesn't flash the new recovery .

Download required files from downloads
Unlock your bootloader( u must be unrooted)
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot boot recovery.img
flash twp-installer.zip
reboot to recovery and check if twrp is there
, if not (100% chances)
Reboot to bootloader
fastboot set_active b (I am assuming you are on slot a, else use fastboot set_active a or you can change slot on twrp itself)
fastboot boot twp.img
flash twp-installer.zip
reboot to recovery
Success
Thanks to https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/development/recovery-twrp-3-1-1-0-touch-recovery-t3688472

I have try that but when I flash twrp it says FAILED PARTITION TABLE DOESNT EXSIST and I am getting bootloop. If I try to fastboot boot recovery.img (twrp 3.1.1.0) then the device boots up instead going to TWRP recovery. I can boot only in newest TWRP 3.2 but cant flash anything from it. Tryed to choose SLOT A and B on REBOOT menu but no success. Please help!

Same thing happened with me also and I BRICKED my phone

Try a clean flash of a stock rom, fastboot image of your choice, after that try the twrp boot and flash again. May there's something corrupt on your phones.

Download the files provided above and follow the same method as given by the OP.
By that recovery image , ur system internal memory will be accessable and u will be able to copy the twrp installer zip file in internal memory of phone .
Once done that , flash in both partitions and you are good to go.
THIS ONLY WORKS FOR OREO STABLE.
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY KINDA OF DAMAGE DONE TO YOUR PHONE , so be aware and know about what u r going to do.
just use these files , but follow the same steps as u did before

Cannot boot in recovery after TWRP update

I've a big problem, and I hope someone can help me
I wanted to change the rom, so I've rebooted my phone in recovery mode and executed a full wipe, after that I've updated TWRP, everything seemed to have gone well so i restarted my phone, but at this point it neither boot the rom(obviously, it is full wiped) nor the TWRP can start...
What can I do? I can only start the Fastboot screen...

How'd you update TWRP? If you did it through fastboot commands, you can just flash TWRP to the recovery partition, or boot it directly.
If you didn't do it through fastboot commands, you'll need to get that to fix it. Google has links to the latest android-tools for Windows and Linux on their Android site somewhere.
From there, you'll need TWRP (either official or codeworkx's), and then you use the flashboot executable to flash it: fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
