Hello,
Since i am a new member I am unable to post in the actual ROM section.
I used the OP3 toolkit from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/toolkit-oneplus-3-toolkit-unlock-t3398799
I have unlocked the bootloader of the device.
I have successfully installed TWRP Recovery and booted into it.
I was attempting to install:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-op3lite-debloated-tweaked-fast-t3404996
I first did a clean wipe cache/davik/system.
Installed the zip from the link.
Attempted to boot, and the phone sticks in a boot loop. What am I doing wrong? Did i miss something?
I have installed root/ custom roms before on my note 3 so I am a beginner but not completely new to this.
After the bootloop issue I went ahead and reinstalled stock recovery and stock OS so that i could have a working phone until i figure out my issue. Any help would be great, thanks in advance folks.
Loving this phone so far.
Proud new One+ fan!
Search that thread. You need to install a different recovery. The one that the toolkit installs doesn't work well.

You sir are amazing! I did not get to page 20-30 until you mentioned that. Yes, i was able to flash the different TWRP and it worked.
What I did was edit the recovery img file that was in that toolkit to the correct version as called out by the ROM dev. Worked like a charm then! Thank you thank you thank you! haha. Super fast love it.

Welcome In the future install "flashify" from the playstore. It is much easier to flash recovery images using that aplication you won't need to use laptop or rename anything.

NOTE: If anyone has any further questions about recoveries on the S3, please note that I have moved on to another device. Sorry!
So you've got your device rooted, and you want to install a custom recovery? Great! Don't just follow any guide you stumble across though, as some of the early recovery packages for the "AT&T" model were actually just copies of the custom Sprint recovery, and then you'll have all sorts of fun trying to install ROMs. ("Status 7" errors anyone? )
I'd like to talk about 4 ways to get the custom recovery of your choice onto your device.
Using mskip's Toolkit CWM [link]
Follow the instructions posted in his thread, and if you have any problems, direct them there as well!
Using ROM Manager CWM [link]
For some reason, ROM Manager doesn't always offer the correct list of devices to flash a recovery for and you won't see the SGS3 (AT&T) in the list. If that happens, force-close the app from Settings > Applications and try again. If this method just won't work for you, move on to option 4.
Using GooManager TWRP [link]
If you've been looking at ROMs, you may have noticed Goo.IM is a popular hosting website for Android developers. It's so popular, in fact, that they have produced an Android app that searches their website for updates for your ROM, and can even install TWRP with only a few simple clicks! Just open up GooManager, tap Menu, and tap "Install OpenRecoveryScript". You will be guided step-by-step from there by the app.
Note: Some people (myself included) have reported issues with this method, where the app claims to have installed the recovery, but when you reboot into recovery mode, nothing has changed. This issue may have been resolved in newer versions; I was able to successfully install TWRP using this method on Sept 26 2012.
Manually via ADB or Terminal Emulator CWM or TWRP [Terminal Emulator link]
If the other options just won't work for you, or if you would rather do an install by hand to ensure you're getting the latest version, read on...
Manually Installing a Recovery
While this may seem difficult, it's really not. Grab a recovery image (these files end in ".img") such as ClockWork Mod (CWM) or Team Win Recovery Project (TWRP) for your device. Most ROM developers say to use CWM, but they both work equally well.
In our case, we need an image for the Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T. Telus, Rogers, Bell, and SaskTel phones are (almost*) the exact same phone as AT&T, if you have one of these devices, you will be installing the AT&T recovery.
Now, transfer the ".img" file you downloaded onto your device. I'd suggest somewhere with a nice short path, like "/sdcard/<file>.img" (you'll thank me later, especially if you're using terminal emulator on the device)
Now, let's back up your existing recovery. If things go wrong, you can use this backup to get back to where you started.
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery-backup.img
That should have created a "recovery-backup.img" on your phone's internal storage.
Here's the part you've been waiting for: Flashing the new image, which installs it as your recovery system. You do this from either an ADB shell or inside Terminal Emulator.
Code:
$ su
# dd if=/sdcard/[B]<file>[/B].img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
You're done. Reboot into your new recovery by holding VolUp and Home while you power on your device.
If you need to return to the stock recovery, that IMG can be downloaded here: stock-recovery.img - 10.00 MB
*NOTE: While we're on the topic, let's take a second to talk about what makes the Canadian I747M different from the AT&T I747.
The short version is... The modem. AT&T is using completely different and incompatible modem firmware in their phones when compared with the Canadian models. Rogers, Bell, Telus, and any other Canadian I747M are the same device (Samsung worked some strange voodoo and got all the Canadian carriers to agree on the same hardware!) which means that if Rogers releases a new modem firmware update, a SaskTel user could install it without issue. AT&T modem updates will not work on Canadian models, nor will Canadian updates work on AT&T phones! I've tried it. Trust me. You don't want to deal with the hassle of fixing it.
Please remember to click/stick/lick/kick the "Thanks" button if you found this guide helpful!
How bout a 4th method for TWRP?
This should come in handy for some of the newer users
Well, the other TWRP method assumes that you already have a custom recovery installed to flash the ZIP from... If you've gotten that far already, I don't think you should need me to tell you how to flash a ZIP.
theres also GooManager from the market. its how I installed TWRP just download the app open it hit menu you'll see some options come up hit "install Open Recovery Script" it will ask if your sure hit ok and your done the whole process will take 30secs
Moved to General so new members can post questions
and stuck

There sure is! One of the benefits of manual installation is that you can find exactly what you want to use, and not rely on ROM Manager or other tools to make the decision for you!

I rooted my phone just after I bought it but was holding off on installing recovery due to how many hours I spend at work. Haven't had the time. I was also waiting on clear instructions on doing it manually, as it's easier for me since I'm not home often enough to use my PC and can't use the USB cord at work. Thank you SO much! Worked perfectly!
Edit: Spoke a little too soon. I'm seeing my backup dated 1970....

That's a known issue with any recovery on the SGS3, it seems that the hardware clock cannot be accessed by the recovery no matter which recovery you use.
Did you happen to make a backup of your stock recovery? If so, I'd like to get a copy of it to add to the OP.
Nice HowTo, but the glaring omission is using the GooManager app to flash TWRP.
A lot of people are moving on from the old CWM to "something better".

Then you're skipping a step, or typing something incorrectly. Once DD is done its work, you should get a response saying "Copied 10MB OK" or something similar. If it says that, then the stock recovery no longer exists.

Hi everyone,
I was playing around with the app Secret Codes from the F-Droid repo. The first code that I try was something related to updating v500's firmware (i don't really like the Stock ROM, I'm waitin for CM first stable build. It suddenly rebooted into Philz recovery and it keeps booting into recovery every time. There's no way to boot normally.
I am on a rooted v500, with Philz and TWRP recoveries flashed in it.
This poor stupid fool would need some help.
Thanks a lot.

How, when, where?!?! I can't find it. Thenks.
My current situation is as follows:
My G Pad is in an eternal loop into recovery. Philz recovery to be precise. I do not have the drivers for Win 7 so I have to sideload CM or anything I wan't to copy to the sd. I sideload CM's last nightly but it doesn't install at all. It, apparently, requieres Aroma file manager. I sideload it too, install it and execute it but the only thing this file manager seems to do is to copy/cut/paste/create new folders... but not flash zip files.
I've changed the storage to 0 but it just won't work either.
I'm super stuck. Any help is very welcome.
in case you want to restore back to full stock (recovery and rom) use the lg mobile support tool. Take a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2590185 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370

Though so it could be recovery problem, but two points in mind:
1. The link from where I got the CWM recovery, showed a video tutorial wherein he got installed Viper One 1.6.0 through CWM ... I'm having S-On but I don't think that could be an issue for installing ROM or particular with the issue that I'm facing. So most probably it has to do with Recovery.
2. Trying to download TWRP 2.7.1.0 or even with TWRP 2.7.0.2 I'm facing with the similar issue, the download comes and halts at 99.99% can't get through ahead of this. So please if someone can just post ME a latest TWRP img on drive for download it would be really nice & helpful.

I spent hole day with same issue yesterday. But was able to download twrp ok. I suspect cwm is not working with m8. Adding to this prob i also had a dodgy sd card in my phone.
Suggest you look for another download source or download one of the easy root tools and pull twrp zip from that.
Once you get twrp flashed to your phone you will be able to flash rom. I also flashed boot.img

Hello everyone,
So I've looked around on this topic and it's still an issue, albeit a minor one. My M8 phone is unlocked/rooted, and S-OFF'd. I am currently using ViperOne M8, which is awesome!
When I boot to HBOOT after installing new firmware the OS line is filled in, but after booting to Recovery and going back to HBOOT, the OS line is now blank. I've been told this is a bug in TWRP, and not a bug or issue anywhere else. I've tried 2 different approaches to fixing it. One entailed flashing a new ZIP (or flashing something), but the instructions stated that I needed to boot to Recovery while in Stock Recovery, which my phone does not do. It's only when I use a TWRP Recovery that I am able to go into any Recovery Menu. The other one had to do with flashing a zipped firmware, but even though that flash worked just fine, it still didn't resolve the OS issue. I have tried looking all around, but either I'm missing something, or it's just not knowing enough about what I'm reading to recognize the right answer.
So please, will someone tell me HOW do I get rid of that pesky TWRP bug that causes the OS line in HBOOT to blank out after only 1 visit to recovery post-firmware update?
I would appreciate ANY info you can give me.
Thank You,
RockStar2005

Flash the modded (test) Twrp recovery with flashify and you won't have to worry about that happening again after flashing the firmware. You are going to have to flash your current firmware for it to show up again. Works perfect after that. Hope that helps

Guys, I was flashing RUU.exe to my M8 and I suddenly got USB Error after some few seconds the process started. HBOOT booted without a blank HBOOT and afterwards, RUU now returns with an error that I should flash the correct RUU. I didn't have any backup of the OS but I had a TWRP backup which I downloaded and it was on the phone so I tried recovering but still OS is blank. Phone also doesn't boot pass HBOOT, even after restoring. Please help.
Hello there,
This is my first XDA thread! This is an issue I ran into.
I just installed CM 14.1 on my OP3. I downloaded the latest TWRP from the official website before flashing it.
Here is the problem. After setting up my ROM, like installing all the required apps, I'm not able to boot into recovery. I tried flashing TWRP again, I downloaded the oneplus recovery from your website and I flashed that one too.
I erased recovery partition and installed both of them again (erasing each time). What happens is, after booting into the bootloader, I select recovery to go to the recovery and it stays blank, unless I reset it by holding the buttons.
Please let me know what I can do.
Same happened to me also. But somehow I fixed it by installing TWRP again by using OnrPlus 3 toolkit. Here is the toolkit forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/tool-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3398993. Can't post links. Don't forget to put http:// front of it

Thanks for the reply.
Are you sure what happened to is exactly what happened to you? Because I tried the ToolKit and it is not working. I tried both the versions of the TWRP and Stock recovery.
If you know anything else about this issue that would help me. I'd love to hear it.

Also. Does encryption affect this in anyway, because I did it. I don't want to factory reset my phone because this is my primary phone and I don't have another phone. And I don't want to risk it, at least for a few days.
