I've been away for awhile and am now looking to update my ROM. However it seems that the fixed 2.8.6.4 TWRP is now being recommended that I use 2.8.7.0. Is there a special version of this for the M9 and if so, where do I get it?

I've read that that's possible, but I always flash with fastboot.
Click on the discussion tab on the link that i posted earlier. The first three or four posts are Q&A and instructions.

Hi guys, I didn't find any concrete answer here so posting this.
I have OOS 3.2.7
I am rooted
I have TWRP recovery
System wants me to install OTA, before doing anything I checked the internet and found it will not work.
What is the best to install the OTA?
Can i do with FlashFire?
Do I need to install the entire ROM downloaded from OP3 official site and re-flash SuperSU? (http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-3/oneplus_3_oxygenos_3.2.8/)
Can I install the OTA with TWRP???
I need a clear answer cause for some reason the community is not aligned on how to do this and I dont want to brick my phone.
Thank you in advance.
there's several threads addressing this exact concern

Get the modified twrp by eng.stk. you can flash the official rom with it. Official twrp will be replaced by stock recovery.
Flashfire didnt work when i treid to install ota, you'll have to download the full rom and either dirty flash or clean flash it. And yes, you have to reflash supersu everytime you reflash a rom.

Thx man
I tried to root my one m9 using twrp-3.0.2-0-hima and the zip file of SuperSU v2.79.
After flashing SuperSU and pressing reboot in the recovery, the phone started to bootloop.
I tried a dalvik clear and a data wipe.
I can still get into the recovery bootloader and download mode.
The phone is the Taiwanese variant and was fully updated if that helps.
Sorry if this seems simple, but I really don't want to mess it up more. Any help is appreciated!

Try flashing SuperSu 2.79 SR1 - the M9 should accept that without issue.

The only versions I can find are 2.79 SR2 and the "stable"
Neither are working. Could flashing the latest stock on the htc website or installing a different rom help?
The HTC site says that installing it may damage the device if you modified the device software or Bootloader is that just an obligatory warning or is it serious?
If you are rooting android 6.0 you need twrp 2.9.0.1 and supersu 2.65. You can find them here: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B4vTiHTBB629QmxGTkpyZWlCR28
If you are rooting 6.0.1 you need twrp 3.x and supersu 2.7
Beamed in by telepathy.
According to download mode the OS is 3.36.709.3
I can't tell if that's 6.0 or 6.0.1 even with google.
If it is 6.0, can I just put the twrp file in the adb platform tools folder and flash like before or do I have to do anything different?

That is not correct. As already written in a different thread some days ago: captain throwback deleted twrp 2.9 on purpose. So please stop recommending that version.
The currently recommended versions of twrp are 2.8.7.1 for firmware 1.x and 2.x of the M9 and 3.0.3-0 for firmware 3.x and above. Both can be found in the TWRP thread in the original android development section.
And supersu 2.79 sr1 is just working fine with the stock rom of the m9. There you go: http://download.chainfire.eu/1017/SuperSU/SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip
Edit @iateapietod: You need to reflash the stock boot image of your firmware. This can for example be done by restoring it via one of the backups in my thread. Follow the instructions in the twrp section II with the following exceptions: don't wipe anything via TWRP and only restore "boot" and not "system" or "recovery". After that your rom should be booting, again.

Okay, I completed that and redid TWRP and superSU, now though the SuperSU app is giving the error that its binaries are not installed and it cannot install them.
What do I need to do about that?
Just follow flippy, he knows everything..
Twrp 2.9.0.1 works fine for me since day 1 so i think the issues might not actually be this version of twrp.
Supersu 2.65 works peachy too, no need to use any other.
BUT, everyone seems to think otherwise but I ain't no sheep and my phone works great rooted and s-off. It has done since the day I done it so I have no reason NOT to recommend the files I'm CURRENTLY using and have been for nearly 12 months.
So, smarty pants. Su binaries won't install and I don't know how to solve it. I have no place in this thread now.

Please reflash the boot.img and then flash SuperSU 2.65. It was the latest compatible version before 2.79 sr1 got released. You can update it via the play store, afterwards. It looks like some M9s have issues with 2.79 sr1. You're the second person that reports problems.

I don't know everything. And I apologize for my harsh words but the thing is that I simply don't understand why someone should recommend a version of a custom recovery that got deleted by the dev who created it so that no one is able to download it anymore. It might be working for you but if that version could be used without issues then you would still be able to download it from captain throwback's thread. (I'm not even sure whether you're allowed to re-upload the old TWRP version without captain throwback's permission.) I'm only repeating the recommendations that got posted in captain throwback's thread and I don't think that anyone else than the dev of the custom recovery himself knows better which version is recommended for this phone and which not.
The boot.img is what you said to backup in the one m9 guide correct? Just wanted to be safe.

Just restore the backup you restored when your phone wasn't booting after you had flashed SuperSU for the first time. Don't forget the exceptions that I posted at that time.

I was being sarcastic..
When i rooted my m9 i followed the common guides which all recommended twrp 2.8.7.1 and that failed to boot for me so I went up to 2.9.0.1 and that worked. The next thing I know is it got deleted by the dev for no known reason and another version was immediately put in its place.
Rather than being ocd and updating immediately i decided to wait. Which was a good idea because at the time i was seeing quite a lot of problems relating to rooting with said higher version of twrp. I have stuck with it since.
A flea in your ear about "copyright infringement". Once you release something into the wild, especially under the gnu license, you lose all rights of control but you retain the rights to "design and ownership". I can keep, use and distribute 2.9.0.1 under the gnu license, as it is written in linux/unix, but I may not use it in my own projects or claim it as mine.
Beamed in by telepathy.
To settle this issue definitively it might be worth asking Captain Throwback why 2.9.0.1 was taken down, or searching the thread for discussions about potential issues. But as previously mentioned, the official thread's FAQ (#2) recommends using the 2.8.7.x version for pre-Marshmallow firmware and the latest 3.x.x.x version for post-Marshmallow firmware.
As one who has done so more than a few times, I can testify that it's both embarrassing and potentially damaging to recommend faulty software or advice. I have been grateful for the correction more experienced members have offered, though it's humbling every time. For the sake of helping other users, especially new ones, it's good to be sure that we're offering the best of both.
(For what it's worth: From what I can tell of the conversation in the original thread between 2.8.x.x and 3.x.x.x, the 2.9.x.x series was built primarily to test decryption of the M9. When 3.0.0.1 came out, it supported AOSP decryption, along with the updates that came with 3.0.0.0 (like flashing <4GB zip files). I imagine that the 2.9.x.x series was discontinued due to the success of the 3.x.x.x release. And of course, 3.0.3-0 now supports decryption stock Sense.)
Hello, I find now we have 2 latest TWRP recoveries, one is built by dianlujitao, the other one is the official build.
Which one do you choose? Why?

Use the official. If you have issue with it, the use blu_spar v14 twrp.
And read FAQ #9 in this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/guide-flashing-oos-v4-0-1-custom-rom-t3537757
Use the official one.

I was using the official 3.0.3 and now I am on 3.0.4-0 by jcadduono. For me both work without issues.
Try the 3.0.4
I love the one blu_spark provides. Never had serious problems with it, but I disliked the fact that TWRP provided an outdated build all the time which loved to make serious problems.

I am using the 3.0.4 version for official TWRP thread and it's working wonderfully for me. Maybe your flashing procedure is wrong or something is messing with your recovery.

Since the flashing procedure is really simple and easy, only a "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img", I think there may be something messing with my recovery, but I flashed it after fully decrypted (wiped) the device. Anyway, I always encounter weird problems, I don't mind these problems now.

Hi guys,
When nougat first came out, there was this huge hassle to update from a rooted op3. You needed a modified twrp etc etc. Is this still the way to update? Or can I just flash it through normal twrp? (And i suppose I have to flash supersu as well?)
Thanks!

The 'normal" TWRP is not fully compatible with Nougat and OP3. So you still need the modified ones. And SuperSU as well.

Hello people!
I have recently bought this phone and I'm now trying to flash TWRP and root it. Sadly (since it's a fairly recent build I guess?) I haven't found any tutorial to do so, and I have only managed to unlock the bootloader by now... Do you guys have any idea?
Thanks in advance!
There's no need for a new guide for Oreo, the procedure is the same for all system versions. You can follow the old guides, just don't use provided links if they're not updated but find new files yourself.

Look at any other guide as the previous comment said just use updated files for your device.
The short answer for you is to read up on 'custom recovery'.

If you are on Oreo, you have to flash Magisk once you boot into recovery 1st time.

I'm not sure about the recovery version and it's not even TWRP. I just followed the steps that was given in some website.
Magisk v16
Downloaded magisk. Tried flashing it. Failed.
Maybe I should just try another recovery i.e. TWRP but does recovery of different developer matter?

Recovery does matter. If you are not on TWRP, are you on stock recovery? Then how did you flash Magisk?
Flash eng.stk's TWRP then reboot into TWRP and flash Magisk and then reboot to system.
