I can't reflash stock recovery

Hi, yestarday I flashed CM 14 with TWRP to try it, and today I have tried to return to stock rom & recovery but I can't do it. At the beginning I have tried to flash stock recovery that I have downloaded from op.net with fastboot and I couldn't do it and after I have tried to do the same process but this time flash it with TWRP and also this time I couldn't able to fix it. In fine I have installed the stock ROM via TWRP and I managed to install it but now the problem is that I still can not install the stock recovery and accordingly I can't install op3 update.
An another problem is that I have tried to re-lock OEM from fastboot and when I try to turn on the phone, is asks me a pin to enable it and I don't know that pin because I haven't set no one

No it isn't. Because I managed to put stock ROM into it via adb with push command and after I have installed it from twrp that works. My only problem is that i can't flash stock recovery.

i have the same issue. Tried many times but i'm getting a black screen after one plus logo for both stck recovery and unmodified twrp. only moidified twrp is working. please let me know if u find a way to resolve this.
thanks in advance

you can reboot in to stock recovery without any issues?? I think I should give it a try. And you are saying the bootloader is locked again ?

Great. Can I place the file in beta8 rom .zip file and flash it using adb ??

If this procedure doesn't you can download an older version of oxygen os and update it via ota. At the first attempt when you will try it will give you an error and at the second attempt It will download all the ROM again and it will reflash by itself

I suggest you to try at the beginning with the beta 7 because if that procedure not work for you, you can't downgrade to beta 7.

Thank you.
Will let you know if it worked.

I had that problem.
Solution as follows, worked everytime for me: (I have not tried this method with the newest beta 8)
1. Flash OOS 3.2.6 firmware in twrp.
2. Reboot to fastboot and flash official oxygen os recovery downloaded from the OnePlus website. (This is still the old version for some reason, thus why it won't work)
3. Side load community build with oxygen os recovery, this will flash the new firmware back and update the recovery to be community build compatible.
4. Before rebooting erase everything (factory restore)
5. Reboot to OOS, finish setting up.
6. Turn on advance reboot in developer settings.
7. Reboot to recovery via the reboot menu. First time boot into the recovery may take sometime, but it has always worked for me.
8. After everything looks good, go ahead and OEM lock in fastboot, recovery should work as usual this time and format your phone

OP did you find a solution to this?? Im on the same boat as you

Reboot to bootloader and flash stock recovery

Yep and if it works flash blu-spark twrp it should be fine.

Yeah, I went through a lot of steps, but basically install stock recovery v2 and let it restart. Once it succeeds or fails, it will go back to normal, and you can flash whichever recovery/rom combination you prefer. I don't have the official url, but this one seems legit:

Can't install TWRP

I can't get TWRP to install on my phone. I've tried manually fastbooting all three TWRP images that are available from the TWRP website. I tried installing TWRP using the Skipsoft Toolkit. Whatever I do I never get past the TWRP splash screen--no menus ever come up. Since no menus ever come up I can't install the TWRP zip or a custom ROM. I've been trying this for hours and it's driving me crazy. Is there a different procedure to boot into temporary TWRP if you are on the June bootloader? Is there another version of the TWRP image file that I'm missing? Am I supposed to let the TWRP sit there for a really long time? This is driving me completely batty.

Did you downgrade from O?
If that is the case you should flash the stock bootloader and boot.img into both slots on your device and try again

Np

It took way too long but I installed TWRP, flashed DU, installed ElementalEx, rooted with custom Magisk for Pixel and got the phone to pass Safety Net. Everything seems to be working. However, whenever I go into recovery TWRP doesn't seem to be there. I appear to get the stock recovery which I don't understand. I can still boot into temporary TWRP and flash the TWRP zip and flash other zips on my phone but I can't seem to boot directly into TWRP. Is this normal or did I do something wrong somewhere?

If I recall correctly, after flashing any rom you have to flash twrp again before rebooting. Apparently roms flash an img to our recovery partition that looks similar to a modified CWM.

I actually did that. Maybe I was supposed to boot into the rom once, then back into recovery to flash TWRP. There are a lot of different flashing instructions for this phone. It's hard to keep it all straight.

Booting into the rom, going back into temp TWRP and flashing the TWRP zip seems to have worked --TWRP actually stuck this time and I can boot directly into it now. It's a shame Google made the Pixel XL such a headache to flash on.

When i install TWRP in my oneplus 3 and i reboot to system still stock recovery again

Step to expose what happens to me:
after brick my oneplus 3 by flash a wrong zip I got back to the stock rom, but when I try to install twrp only stays 1 time. When I reboot the system and try again to enter TWRP it appears the stock recovery of oneplus. Any idea why this happens and how to fix it?

Your question is not very clear. If you are asking how TWRP stays permanent if Magisk is flashed, I think that since Magisk modifies the boot image, it prevents the ROM from overwriting TWRP with stock recovery.

Only Rebooting into TWRP after flashing custom ROM

Hello there!
Like said in the title, my phone keeps rebooting into recovery after I flashed the latest Pixel Experience rom.
Does anybody know a fix for this?
Thanks!

I used TWRP 3.3.1-16.
I was able to fix the issue myself by going back to TWRP 3.3.1-3 via fastboot, flashing vbmeta and then installing the stock global rom.
But thank you for the reply anyway!

@latze97: TWRP has problems on Q, more than this reboot. SHRP is more stable.

Which version of SHRP would you recommend? I tried flashing the latest but instead of booting into the recovery it boots into fastboot...

@latze97: the latest, 200301. But that sounds witchy, not really better. There's an SHRP-update coming... If these bugs go on, format /data.

Hey, i'm having the exact same problem, where did you find this vbmeta file ? Link in the other thread is dead...
