Unable to access recovery mode - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

So, ever since I flashed OxygenOS Open Beta 8, I've been unable to access (stock) recovery. The error is that it tells me my pattern is wrong, which it's not. I have done a factory reset on the pattern screen, but the error still occurs. Is there any chance to flash OxygenOS 3.2.8 on fastboot, since recovery or download mode is no go?

You can use the guide above and btw the guide above uses modified twrp and flashing from fastboot is not working always so I recommend the above method
Sorry for bad English

Worked like a charm! Thank you!

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

It is just a warning. This is no issue and from the kernel.
I managed (i do not know how i have done this) to install oos beta 8 with supersu and without this message.
I experimented a little bit. I flashed the extracted beta 8 firmware and flashed the system via fastboot.
But i do not know why this message is completly away from my phone.
If you don't want to see it flash stock recovery
I did the following..
1. Sideload OxygenOS 3.2.6 from TWRP
2. Flash stock recovery from OnePlus downloads
3. Sideload from stock recovery Open Beta 8
Stock recovery is rewritten by new recovery and no more dm error.
Oneplus 3 dm-verity verification failed when i boot
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...ailed-when-i-boot.476968/page-3#post-15476095
But what is causing this problem in the first place? Is it because twrp is give permissions to make changes to the /system partition? And this dm-verity thing, will it cause any problems if left as it is?

So no more twrp in build 8. you're rocking stock recovery right? if yes, how you're able to gain root? as far as I know, there are no ways to root oxygen os 8/9 from inside.
.
Ps. I wanna lock my bootloader. flash build 9 with stock recovery. like new intact phone. plus, I wanna gain root from inside (without the help of twrp). any help or opinion?
I was on OB10. i unlock bootloader and flashed twrp. after this dm-verity error keeps coming at every boot. I tried formatting to ext4 file system but no luck. After some time i gave up and flashed OB10 again. Any idea on how to unlock and flash custom roms without dm-verity error? If I revert back to 3.2.8, can i flash the nougat roms without error?

Help Getting TWRP to work

Device - oneplus 3
Secure Boot - enabled
Device State - Unlocked
recently wanted to update my rom (Resurrection Remix-N). When I boot into TWRP, I get an error 7. I was also having issue with titanium backup (keeps crashing) so I was thinking it was the ROM since I haven't updated in a while. Since I couldn't update with TWRP and error 7, I decided to switch ROM.
I did a nand backup, then proceeded to factory reset in TWRP, reboot recovery (habit of mine).
And now I was stuck with at TWRP decrypt Data because my previous pattern is not working. Gives me a "pattern failed, please try again!")
My question, is there a way to at least get my data off the device (backup to laptop and restore later)?
I can boot into fastboot. but I can't see device storage on laptop.

A method thats worked for me in the past is to use fastboot to re-install TWRP. Use TWRP 3.0.4-1 and reboot your phone to recovery.. You'll be im MTP mode so you can transfer files onto your phone for flashing.. If you get code7 in TWRP, use a different FIRMWARE+Modem version.. If you want the latest RR use 4.0.3.. Your data should be safe..

I had that once when i messed about with f2fs.. Only way i found was to flash stock ROM and recovery, reboot and fastboot TWRP again.. Now my laptop could see my phone and i could start from scratch again.. I'm sure there is a better way but this worked for me.. Sorry i cant be of more help
Flash all 670 img's till one works :laugh:
I think error 7 is related to firmware flash 4.0.3 and then your rom of choice should be fine

Unbricking after a hard brick not working out.

So my OP3 got bricked and I used @Naman Bhalla guide to unbrick my phone using the second method which flashes an old OOS after unbrick. I was successful in unbricking my phone, however once the phone restarts after the unbrick tool it gets stuck in the OOS boot animation (The rotating O animation) and then it reboots and this continues.
I've tried,
1) Sideloading another Stock ROM (OOS 5.0.1.) via stock recovery: Just rebricks my phone
2) Flashing TWRP 3.1.0-0 and tried to install zip for 5.0.1 : TWRP does't recognize phone, (ERROR 7, This ROM is for OnePlus 3, This device is " ") and thus it doesn't flash.
3) Tried upgrading TWRP to 3.2.1. : could'nt do it - Lost recovery, phone just restarts to a black screen with white notification light.
4) Tried flashing OOS 4.5.1 (Nougat) via TWRP 3.1.: Does't boot up. Doesn't even go to the animation and restarts after OnePlus Logo.
Yes, I was stupid enough to not have done a nandroid backup. Desperately need help.

Gave this a shot. Not booting up again. Goes to blank screen with white notification light.
Update: I've even tried rooting phone and flashing custom rom: Doesn't even go to animation
I've also tried method 1, erased the system via fastboot and reflashed the official OOS 3.1.2. zip file via adb sideload. Still the same result on official zip.

If Method 2 doesn't work, Method 1 will definitely not work.
After flashing TWRP, are you able to boot to it (without flashing any ROM)? Flashing OOS or Open Beta will overwrite TWRP. So try this: wipe everything and flash TWRP, boot to TWRP and flash ROM and again TWRP, then flash Magisk and boot to system.
When you get white LED, hold power button for 7 to 10 seconds, it will switch off. Then press power button again and you will boot to the options menu to choose bootloader, recovery etc. You may not have to use Method 2 every time if this works for you.

Hey thanks for the help. Will give this a shot now. Can you tell me what method I should use to flash magisk?
Also, I am able to access TWRP but when flashing a rom via TWRP it gives me error 7 i.e. can't install this since because it is for OnePlus 3 this device is " ". Also, with method 2 I already have a stock rom installed, I've tried wiping system via fastboot and sideloading another ROM too, that doesn't work.

Magisk to be flashed through TWRP.
If you know how, remove this first line from the updater script and then flash it: getprop("ro.build.product") == "OnePlus3" || abort("This package is for "OnePlus3" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.build.product") + ""."); This is what is preventing TWRP from flashing the ROM. Removing this line will result in no checks for device type while flashing the ROM.

NEVER GIVE UP, atleast not so soon. Contact OnePlus and ask them for a remote session, they may be able to restore it.
Though you are not able to flash TWRP, you can boot TWRP by using the adb command "fastboot boot twrp.img" and then play with it. Place the TWRP within the adb folder while trying this. (Replace twrp.img with the name of your TWRP or rename your TWRP as twrp.img)
Either you have encryption issues or you have a hardware issue if you are not able to flash anything successfully.
This is the end of my knowledge.

Gives me the error, "Unlock device to use this command"
I am able to flash rom via MSMTool, it even dash charges and all. But I can't boot into the system. It gets stuck in OOS animation while booting. Been at it for 3 days. Can it really be a hardware issue if my bootloader and recovery both are working?
Lastly, do you have any way I could unlock the bootloader without system permissions?
Putting an end to this madness. after 4 days in front of my laptop. Had a remote session with a OnePlus tech support team. Discarding my phone unfortunately. Thinking of shifting to a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro since I can't afford a OnePlus 5T anymore. Thanks to everyone who helped. This thread can be closed now.

Help me please, no twrp. Twrp impossible to install

I never had a problem with root, I'm going through hell on my friend's cell phone, I install twrp everything ok, no error message, but when I restart both by command and manually to recovery mode, twrp is not installed, before anything, i'm not stupid, my whole life messed with root, rom editing etc, simply on redmi note 8 pro, when you install it via fastboot to twrp, it just won't go, and yes, on cmd / cell shows everything ok, that everything was installed correctly and without error, the problem is when it restarts, both in automatic mode using the fastboot boot twrp.img commands and when pressing the Power with the volume up, and yes, when installing it I did the fastboot flash recovery twrp.img and yes, the file is the correct one, and yes I already downloaded several types of twrp to my device and yes, my bootloader etc. everything is unlocked and I have already reinstalled the rom stock for the latest version and have already done wipe, nothing resolves this hellish problem of not installing twrp on my redmi note 8 pro friend....
Remembering, I've used several types of twrp here for the for the mod, flashing along with k vbmeta etc, nothing solves that

I have the same problem. I have MIUI 12.0.5.0. QGGMIXM and I have tried TWRP 3.5.0_9-0 and TWRP 3.3.1-unofficial. I have flashed both via fastboot with vbmeta extracted from corresponding ROM.
After flashing, I launched
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
so the device reboots but twrp is not showing, instead it reboots itself into system. At this point if I launch
Code:
adb reboot recovery
the stock recovery appears.
Moreover, I have successfully tried to flash TWRP 3.3.1-unofficial on MIUI 10.0.6.0 via the same procedure. This makes me think it has something to do with the latest MIUI. Anyone has an insight?
I have found this

No, for root and recovery only and stock miui you can follow this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...de-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-root-t3995919
