Today I have faced a strange situation, I installed TWRP (after unlocking the bootloader) on my OP3 as soon as I received the device then I flashed custom ROM by @Grarak http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-unofficial-cyanogenmod-13-t3399089.
After using for some days I decided to give Oxygen OS another try, so I wiped the cache,data,system and Flashed full OTA provided by @namanbhalla https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ficial-oxygen-os-roms-and-ota-updates.450783/
Every thing went smooth but after starting up I wasn't able to goto twrp, for some strange reason twrp was automatically replaced with stock recovery. OK, I decided to reflash twrp, but bang! after so many flashing I wasn't able to boot into twrp, still there was stock recovery.
Solution:
1) fastboot oem unlock (re run even if it says already unlocked)
2) fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-oneplus3.img
now TWRP is installed.
I not Android Developer and cant guarantee above will work and wont harm your device. Try at your own risk.
that is all not needed, i have had this happen to me multiple times reflashing Stock and Stock recovery replaces TWRP, all u have to do is boot up to fastboot mode and flash TWRP, do not reboot, use Power + Vol + and when the Unlocked bootloader screen comes up press the VOL key and click recovery and TWRP is back. no need to do the unlock bootloader again, unless u unchecked it, just make sure it is checked when flashing the Stock rom again or u can just use flashify if u rooted stock before the recovery got replaced somehow, i have even had this happen on FreedomOS 3.2.1

Hi Guys,
I have been give a Zenfone 2 which cannot reboot into stock recovery or any recovery, basically at the bootloader menu when you select recovery it reboots and goes back to the bootloader menu.
I've installed Rom Manager and it says both TWRP and CWM are installed.
So I believe this has multiple Recoverys and it basically cant use any, I have attempted to flash it back to stock but it wont again even let me into recovery that way.
I was rooted but I fully unrooted it to see if this would make a difference but it made no difference.
The bootloader says unknown and the screen is black on start with the Asus logo so would that suggest it has not got an unlocked bootloader either if so I believe the person who owns the phone tried to flash the untethered version of TWRP without having this unlocked ?
Any ideas how to get this back to stock and a recovery working ?
Thanks
Have you ever tried flashing stock fastboot?
I think the guide of "changing phone's SKU to WW version" can do the trick. Doing this can have official fastboot and recovery flashed on your phone.
Hi i've just update my bootloader from LP to MM, i unlock bootloader, install latest TWRP
I boot to TWRP and install XOSP 7.1 ROM, everything works fine, except for my sim 1 doesn't work, so i wipe and flash XOSP 6.0
Right after the installation of of XOSP 6.0 finish, my Z00A cant boot to system, it boot straight to TWRP instead
I tried eveything i can, flash another ROM, reinstall bootloader,flash every custom recovery, back to stock recovery, adb sideload stock firmware, literraly everything
The only problem is it just boot straight to twrp, selecting boot to system, bootloader in TWRP still lead to TWRP, same with adb commands
The only thing i can do is hold down power + volum up to get to bootloader
Please help
FIX
Flash TWRP 3.0.3.3 and it worked
Incase you want to flash XOSP 6.0, downgrade to LP Bootloader
perform advanced wipe in twrp. and then flash stock rom again. if no help then flash xfstk

Just flash this twrp
https://infinitus-rom.com/downloads/uploads/TWRP/TWRP_3.0.3.3_Zenfone2.zip
And Flash rom again ?
In TWRP select reboot -- then power off .
Count to 15 -- press power plus vol+ to go to bootloader
Use Modder tool by giovix in general section - Return to stock option , in that option select boot.img and then recovery.
Then unlock bootloader again in modder
flash twrp "............................................................................................"
root ........ "............................................................................................"
Flash Cleanstock rom in rom section -- set it up ,see if prob persists- if not, back it up .
Flash 3 0 3 3 TWRP and whatever you like after
Your problem stems from the fact that you upgraded your bootloader to mm to install 7.1.but you need to downgrade to LP bootloader for 6.0 rom

Hello everyone,
This morning, I wanted to recover OxygenOS on my Oneplus3. I'm currently running Cyanogenmod 13.
I used the following guide: "[GUIDE] How to Unroot your OnePlus 3 / 3T and go back completely to stock" (Since I'm a newb, I can't post the link. But Google will get you there)
I booted into fastboot, issued the fastboot flash recovery recovery_op3.img and fastboot oem lock commands from my Linux termina, and rebooted in recovery mode.
In recovery mode, I then erased the cache and all that, selected the "Upgrade android from USB" and issued the adb sideload ota.zip command. This is where my problems began.
After running the command, I got the error "error: protocol fault (no status)". I tried to look this error up, but couldn't find useful information.
I started to panic a bit, fearing that my phone would be bricked. However, after booting back into fastboot mode, unlocking OEM, and rebooting, my phone would boot back into Cyanogenmod 13 (A clean install).
So now I don't have a bricked phone. However, I really would like to go back to OxygenOS, so my question is whether anyone knows how to solve my problem.
Summary:
Running Linux (Debian 8) on my PC;
Running Cyanogenmod13 on my Phone;
Want to recover OxygenOS, but adb sideload gave me "error: protocol fault (no status)";
Tried running the adb sideload command as root, however that did not work;
Can still use the Cyanogenmod13.
I've seen that error once before. I had to disconnect the phone, kill the ADB process, reconnect the phone and restart ADB to get it to work.
That worked for me. Hope that helps.

Hey, thanks for responding.
I forgot to mention that I also tried killing the adb process several times, using the adb kill-server command and by killing the process sending SIGKILL.
Another thing I tried was using another Debian machine, which is my laptop. Still, those things did not solve my issue.
Never relock your boot loader, most bricks are due to relocking.
Flash twrp, flash oxygen os ,boot, enable everything,if you want complete stock, flash stock recovery ,flash oxygen os boot to complete stock os.
Backup youre working rom..
First, you need unlocked bootloader.
1.Flash twrp 3.0.4.1 or twrp-3.1.0 x v.26 blu_spark. Reboot to recovery.
2.Clean flash (wipe data-dalvik-system-cache) Oxygen OS, since you come from a custom rom. Flash SuperSu or Magisk, if you want root. Reflash recovery. Reboot to recovery.
If youre phone does not boot in recovery, press Power till phone vibrates. Press vol. down & choose:
1. Select Bootloader. Flash recovery from PC. Safest way to flash recovery.
or
2.Select recovery. Reflash recovery. Reboot recovery.
After you are sure that you got a working recovery reboot to system.

Since I don't understand everything yet, I will spend this evening looking up everything in detail, before I start giving it another try. Do you perhaps know of a tutorial about this specific situation? I don't want to bother you by questioning everything you stated in your instructions. They seem clear enough to be able to be looked up on Google :laugh:

Thanks for responding.
By the steps after "if you want complete stock", do you mean that I should keep the bootloader unlocked, and then perform the same steps as in the tutorial that I used?
EDIT:
@ null0seven: I found these steps online as I was looking up some things you said (I don't have much time since I will celebrate eastern with my family today)
Rooted Users or users with ROMs other than OxygenOS having new bootloader (Official CM 13,CM 13 Based ROMs dated later than 04 June 2016,H2OS Marshmallow)
Step 1 :- Download the OxygenOS 3.0.2 full zip from the top of the post.
Step 2 :- Boot into TWRP.Wipe Dalvik,System,Data and Cache.After that,flash OxygenOS 3.0.2.
Step 3 :- [OPTIONAL] Flash SuperSU from here :- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995297946
Step 4 -> Reboot System.
Of course, this is about an old version of OxygenOS. But it looks the same as you said.
I think this, combined with your instructions, will make it a bit clearer. Still one question: What do you mean exactly by flashing?

Hello, I was just trying to install a custom ROM (Resurrection Remix) on my phone, but now I can't get out of the bootloader.
The steps I took were:
Install TWRP
Root with Magisk (for Titanium Backup)
Factory Reset in TWRP
Flash the RR rom zip file
and now when I turn my phone on, it goes through the bootloader unlock notice and the Google screen, but then it just goes into the bootloader.
I tried going into LineageOS recovery and doing an OEM sideload, but when I go into Apply Update --> Apply from ADB, on my computer, adb devices shows nothing.
Someone please help me.

So fastboot should work. You can always flash the stock ROM first and continue from there.
Instructions: https://developers.google.com/android/images
Try the following,
Go back to stock
Boot twrp
Swipe to factory reset in twrp
Flash RR ROM zip
Flash TWRP zip
Boot to system (it should go to OS)
reboot back to TWRP
Flash custom kernel (optional)
Flash Magisk for root
Boot back to system
After updating the MIUI, I found to my dismay that TWRP was gone.
But the phone status still says "unlocked".
I re-flashed TWRP but did not boot into it directly.
When I wanted to enter TWRP later (after having booted notmally once), TWRP was still gone. Just the stock bootloader.
Could it be that I have to flash and then boot into TWRP directly in order to make it persistent?
Yes. After flashing twrp boot to recovery or else the recovery restores to stock recovery.
Ok. Will do it this weekend.

Rewrite vbmeta or flash universal dm_verity disabler and the twrp will not gone.
Ok. That solved it.
