Unable to use any recoveries other then stock

I have flashed the newer firm ware but when I installed a MM rom exodus and now I wasnt able to use the recovery any more. I have tried flashing other recoveries but the only one that worked is the stock recovery

Look for hybrid twrp 3.0.2.0 and flash. Boot into recovery and reflash image. Should hold then.

Hi, did you relock your bootloader.. Check it's status.

Check Boot Loader Status in developer Mod
After this, go in your fastboot Mod and flash TWRP (Modified) Recovery.
After flashing recovery, you have to boot into recovery as well otherwise your OS will replace your recovery with the STOCK one..
after using this command,
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

NO Recovery in my phone, Bootloader Unlocked (OP2)

Few day earlier my home button died , so i decided to change rom . After some tries with different roms it started to work again (finally settled for oxygenos) . I used that rom for quite some time before i got bored of oxygenos and decided to change it . But to my surprise i won't boot into recovery no matter what i try. I tried to upgrade or change it using flashify and other app ,still nothing happened. Finally i tried to flash recovery using computer , still it won't boot in recovery .
My boot loader is having unlocked status. I tried flashing different types and versions of recovery . Everytime i write command error comes and it won't flash . I searched my threads with suggestions of using specific recovery for oneplus 2 but none of them works.
Please help , My battery drains like sand from hand. I get less than 2.5 hours of screen time

lollipop
Oos 2.2.1

Ok.. Go into Fastboot mode.. If your bootloader is unlocked, flash twrp recovery 3.0.2-0.img.. You can download it from twrp website.. Hope you know how to flash a twrp recovery.

Tried it but doesn't work ....

Some TWRP recoveries don't work with earlier rom firmware. Try finding Twrp 2.8.6 or 2.8.7 and try flashing. Also wich version of windows are you using. I've had my fair share of problems with windows 10.
Best of luck

Bricked, bootloop tried all I can think of

I was on the last beta n4f26t, and flash TWRP successfully, then went to flash superSU from twrp, this when wrong and everything goes downhill from here. I tried flashing back the last update, in it's entirety following the Heisenberg guide for returning to stock didn't work, tried flashing twrp again still can't get into recovery (just boot loops) I tried a previous update NMF26F and got to the dead android recovery screen but when I tried to flash back the OTA nothing happened and went back to bootloop on reboot. I've used the nexus root kit and still nothing. What can I do to fix this? I've honestly looked up every resource I could think of before posting this here. really hoping I didn't perma brick my 6P

Edit I was on NPG47I the lastest beta update not n4f26t

Hello... So now you only have access to the bootloader Or bootloader and stock recovery?
If your bootloader is unlocked, you can try:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot format userdata
Of course it will wipe your internal storage...

I would concentrate on trying to get a working recovery first. Almost everyone who lost recovery mode never got their phone back- classic BLOD. First try fastboot FORMATTING recovery and then both fastboot flash twrp, and then fastboot boot twrp. If you can get a working recovery there may be hope. If you can never boot to recovery mode, I think you are done. From your bootloader screen, what is your bl version?

BL: angler-03.6.7
Baseband: angler-3.81
I see all normal BL options and I flashed it with the nexus root kit and used https://developer.android.com/preview/download-712.html this image

I know with older versions of TWRP there was a problem with the EFS partition that contains the IMEI info. What version of twrp are you using??? I thought I bricked my Nexus 6p after restoring a backup but it was actually just me screwing up my EFS partition. The newer versions of twrp (i think 3.0.3 and up) fixed this problem. Still though, if it is that, and you flash a new twrp version it won't fix your problem. If you have the time search through the forum for the EFS partition fix. I don't know the commands off the top of my head but I know this helped a lot of people. Worth a shot.

OK, but when you try to boot to recovery, it bootloops? Never goes to recovery? Try the steps above to successfully flash the recovery partition using fastboot. I suppose you can use NRT, but download the latest version of TWRP and try both flashing and booting the twrp.img.

same boat
anxious to hear results: I can't get to recovery and am bootlooping - tried a bunch of things using Nexus Root Toolkit . Curiously enough earlier when I was trying to flash an older version or ressurection remix, even my TWRP would bootloop so I couldn't flash anything without it quitting - anyone ever hear of that happening?

Hey... Did you try to boot TWRP?
From bootloader: fastboot boot twrp.img
If this fails and you only have access to the bootloader, i think you are SOL.
Good luck...

Are you able to get into recovery and adb sideload a stock OTA from the google developer website? That's always saved me when I've had problems.

We don't need more posts about bootloop. There is a main topic that has been discussed for multiple pages:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/help/boot-loop-death-nexus-6p-t3533528
I personally had the issue and had to RMA the phone. I suggest you do the same.

Well done

sideload installation keeps failing.

I'm trying to revert my oneplus 5 back to stock. I done all the steps got stock recovery installed. When I attempt to sideload original oos through adb sideload it keeps failing at 46%. Any advice would be very appreciated.. I've read so much and tried so many different things. I am completely stuck.

I got the phone from a friend and it has been completely wiped and formatted through TWRP. He did have a nougat custom ROM on it prior to that.
I tried to sideload to it with TWRP and it wouldn't work. I followed directions from a website that explains how to revert your op5 back to stock using stock recovery. I was trying to put the original oxygen OS ROM on it that came with the phone using the stock recovery and adb and fastboot. I'm thinking maybe I possibly downloaded the wrong OOS version. Who knows. Lol .
It had nougat Pure FusionOS 7.1.2. encrypted...SuperSU root and TWRP blue spark.
Now all it has is stock recovery with No OS
Would like to get OOS pie on it eventually.

You need to mount internal storage, not system. Is your twrp updated to latest codeworkx?

You have the same? The vendor partition will be created with 5.1.4.
You can go(in twrp) to mount - > vendor. But the recovery should mount it automatically when it's created by flashing 5.1.4.

Yeah that's the same one I'm using I'm thinking maybe I don't have TWRP setup right is there any settings I'm supposed to go into?
Even when I check off everything in advanced wipe and do a wipe it comes up fine all the way to the end and then it says failed to mount vendor (invalid argument)
I liked everything again in TWRP I went to flash 514 and it works all the way up to the end and fails to mount vendor invalid argument.
Somehow I need to activate the vendor partition or something.
well I'm going back to reading like a madman and figure out if anybody else had this problem online. Lol thanks
