Recovery not working.

EDIT: Resolved by following Naman Bhalla's Unbrick Guide.
I'm on latest Freedom OS community build right now. I have this problem where my OP3 won't boot into recovery at all. Trying to do it just kills it and only a very long power button press is able to revive it.
I have tried flashing the recovery via fastboot but that also doesn't work. Is there a way out of it? I can't flash zips. Are there factory images I can flash via fastboot that can replace everything? I don't care about the data. Any help would be appreciated.

flash modified recovery via fastboot
Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk

I have tried Garak's TWRP and the other TWRP. It doesn't change anything. Are there factory images like Google provides which can be flashed using fastboot?

i have the same problem, flashed the previouse version of Oxygen OS. But now i can't get in to recovery.. when i flash it trough fastboot everything goes ok, but when i want to go into recovery the screen is blank and the device does nothing.

Maybe read the OP of FreedomOS rom.

I have read the OP of Freedom OS. I understand that obviously I overlooked something because of which I ended up where I am but I am looking for solutions here. I did not dirty flash the community build if that's what you mean.

You need the modified twrp version, the only way to recognize it, it has a mouse cursor in the middle of your screen.

Yea, I used exactly the same thing to get back my device working correctly again. I missed the crucial information that modified TWRP was required.

Can't boot into recovery after cm14.1 nightly official

So as the title says, after flashing cm14. 1 can't go into recovery anymore, it just a black screen. I tried to use flashify but nothing, a couple of apps show that I have twrp 3.0.2.1 but can't get into it... Help?
Cheers

Same situation here. Neither booting the recovery via fastboot without flashing nor flashing the TWRP an then booting into it result in black screen. Flashify gives no results here. Please help.
EDIT; flashing this one via fastboot restores the access to TWRP, confirming it right now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=21065&task=get

Yeah man im in the same boat, if i get time ill try this twrp recovery. Where did that recovery come from?, it seems like the CM recovery for 14.1 nightly high jacks the recovery partition (i call it that,i dont know the term for it)

I believe the official 14.1 nightlies are based on the CB which requires the modified TWRP, which is what @JKMB888 has linked you to.

I would like to truly confirm that the direct link to recovery, along with the thread in which it can be found, repair the situation. I was able to restore the backup of Freedom OS and the return to CM14.1 backup. We should keep this one somewhere near, jsut in case.

Thanks a lot guys, that did the trick, and done with flashify

@JKMB888 it does work 100% is as simple as flashing the TWRP. Actually, i installed it with CM 14.1 running just fine

Just re flash the TWRP image via Fastboot. Apps like flashify actually use TWRP or whatever recovery installed to flash image file AFAIK. I recommend using modified TWRP,Flashing some roms break the access. But the modified one can withstand almost every new rom installs.
Hope it helps.

Why i have always mount decrypt data when i boot in recovery mode which is TWRP 3.0.2-22 aand ask me to input a password?
Edit: I found the solution, i had a pattern lock screen and i removed it!

At some point your phone data became encrypted. While booted up if you search for encrypt in settings you'll see your phone is encrypted.
Same thing happened to me yesterday after flashing 3.2.7 and booting up for the first time before going back to TWRP to flash AICP. Only way to decrypt permanently, as far as I know, is to wipe all data including internal and completely start from scratch.

Thank you so much it's work for me now..

After I got the recovery back, I flashed CM13 again and ARM64 6.0 Nano Gapps for my Oneplus 3, but I'm getting an error after the "preparing apps' screen is loaded saying that - unfortunately the process android.process.media has stopped one plus 3 boot and then the phone switches off.
Any solution to this? I've already tried flashing different versions of CM13.

Thank you!! I was looking for hours.

Hey, guys. I'm pretty sure I bricked my phone and there's no way to get out.
So I was on CM13 official builds on my OP3. Then, on the OTA update system they have, I got moved onto the CM14.1. I downloaded from here and went into my twrp recovery to flash. I made a clean flash and then proceeded to go back to system. I thought everything was ok until I realised I hadn't flashed a gapps package which I pretty much need to survive as all my contacts backups etc. are on there. I powered off my phone and went to go back into the recovery after downloading gapps 7.1 micro. It went past the *You're device can not be trusted'* and then went to the oneplus screen. After that, it stayed like that for about 30 secs and powered off. At first, I thought I messed something up and tried again. I repeated that for about 3 times and it didn't work. I tried going into the normal system and coming back to recovery and it didn't work still. In fact, now I can't even get into system. Now, i can only boot up to fastboot, where my computer still doesn't realise my phone is plugged in.
Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this? I wouldn't say I'm a noob at this because I have flashed many times before but I'm relatively new to the scene. I didn't see this thread before i ripped my hair out and i think wrecked my phone @JKMB888
EDIT: I sorted it out with help from Naman Bhalla's unbrick thread and this. A certain combo works and now I'm on CM14.1 enjoying life

After flashing CM14.1 Nightly, I can't boot into recovery.

Hello guys,
As stated in the title, I can not boot into recovery since I flashed CM 14.1. I already tried reflashing TWRP, booting TWRP via fastboot, using another, more recent TWRP image.
This is rather urgent, since, although I can boot CM 14.1 without any problem, I forgot to do a Titanium Backup of two apps, so I have to restore a nandroid backup to get those back, which is kind of hard, without access to TWRP. Using TWRP Explorer is out of question, since that, as far as I know, does not work with encrypted backups.
Flashing via Flashify does not work either.
I just tried with the most recent CM Recovery, that does work, but that does not really help, since that won't restore TWRP Backups..
Greetings

Just flash twrp again!?

Flash the twrp in the following link https://www.androidfilehost.com/? using flashify from play store .This helped me

That did not work, at least not with the official TWRP. Flashing this TWRP gave me TWRP back, but now restoring the Backup somehow did not work as expected, the old CM 14.1 unofficial build that is in that backup won't boot.
I'll try only restoring the data part onto the official build, is there anything else you can recommend? Another firmware? Something?
Oh and by the way, thank you, for helping here and for you CM 14.1 builds, somehow I couldn't build CM 14.1 and 14, so having your builds was really helpful.

What version of OOS was you on prior to flashing CM14.1?

Directly upon receiving my OP3 I flashed CM13, that was in August, so 3.2.4 I guess, and I flashed the firmware of 3.2.6 before flashing Takers and your CM14 and later 14.1 builds.
TWRP behaves funny, the progress of restoring Data is already at 138%, 6800MB of 4899MB, the calculation is not taking compression into account I guess?
LOOOL, I have booted into the official CM14.1 with the old data, no fc or anything, but my pattern does not work anymore. same pattern as before, won't be accepted.

Never seen that issue before what happens if you reboot into the bootloader and then connect the phone to your pc and type fastboot boot <name of recovery> does it boot up?
Of course replace the < > with the name of the img file.

Yes, TWRP works now, but the backed up unofficial CM 14.1 does not boot.
But, only this TWRP works, booting the official TWRP does not work.
I could probably just use the TWRP file manager to extract the few files from the data partition that I need, but this is a workaround and not a fix, and that is not desired in most cases. Fixing it is hard without someone that still has a broken system.

Do you know how one would debug something like that? I have nothing but the splash screen in the beginning and then a black screen
I will just flash CM 14.1 and manually extract my OTP tokens from the data backup, so I don't really need to debug that, but it would probably help determine the cause and properly fix it for the future.

Ask for the link

Sorry to hear that. You have to use Qualcomm Drivers to reset your cellphone

Same issue here. Whenever I try to boot into recovery it just goes straight back to the bootloader/fastboot.
**** me, what do I do?

I try "fastboot format userdata" but after i have the same problem with TWRP-3.0.2-1.28

Can you get into fastboot?
If so, you can sideload a working TWRP via there.

Help- stuck on TWRP after cm14 update

what version of twrp are you running? do you have a nandroid backup that you could restore? sometimes the partitions can get messed up during an update. if nothing helps, just follow this unbrick guide which will revert your phone completely back to stock, with all the storage partitions intact.

3.0.2-1

lsdream said:
3.0.2-1

yeah, everyone's got that one, but there are many versions of it usually a number, like 3.0.2-1 (22) for example, and each one build for specific cases. except you got it from the official twrp web, then there shouldn't really be problems with cm14.1
what about nandroid? can you restore one?

do you have any idea how to boot it?

I had the same situation. You get out of this by fastboot flashing cm recovery, booting to it, then flash twrp back in fastboot. I think the ota doesnt fully work with twrp.

Flash the modified twrp from the second post in this forum

Device just keeps rebooting to recovery

***SOLVED***

After I downloaded and clicked install on the latest OTA from Lineage (Z00A) , my phone rebooted to recovery (TWRP 3.0.2 M1), and then nothing happened. It didn't install anything. I searched for the file manually in recovery but couldn't find the update. So I rebooted to system, and now the phone really just wants to boot into recovery and nothing else. Cannot boot to system no matter how many times I try and re install. I have formatted data. I have tried flashing the previous build. The phone isn't recognized by xFSTK, and I can't get into the bootloader. The only things I have access to us TWRP and adb side load. Can someone help?

I have the same problem, what can I do?
I have used the ze551ml_toolkit, worded fine so far. Than I have installed LineageOS 14.1, worked properly. After an update I have got stuck in a TWRP bootloop.

Did you wipe the dalvik/cache?
