Can't get TWRP to run - OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers

I'm attemping to install TWRP 3.0.2-19 on a OnePlus 3 running 3.5.4. I've got as far as installing the recovery.img via fastboot. That seems to work. But I just can't get the phone to boot into TWRP afterwards.
Righter after I've flashed the recovery.img, I'm still at the "FASTBOOT MODE" menu. If I then select "Recovery mode", the phone vibrates, I get a glimpse of the OnePlus logo, it gives me a screen that says "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" for a few seconds, and then it takes me right back to the "FASTBOOT MODE" menu.
If I power the phone off, then attempt to start in recovery mode by holding volume down and power, it's similar: glimpse of the OnePlus logo, screen that says "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted", then the "Options menu:". And if I try to select "Recovery mode" from the "Options menu", it just loops me back to the "FASTBOOT MODE" menu again.
If I boot up the phone normally, then try to reboot into recovery mode from there, I get the stock recovery mode.
Would be really grateful for any help.

Just tried it, but I get exactly the same issue.
What's the best thing to do immediately after running "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"? Select "Recovery" from the fastboot menu, or turn the device off?

Are you sure you have Oneplus 3 and not 3T?
Because if you are on OOS 3.5.4, then you should have Oneplus 3T (OOS 3.5.4 is the current version for 3T)
(http://downloads.oneplus.net/)
EDIT:
I just found out that there is a community build 3.5.4 for Oneplus 3
After you flash the recovery it doesn't matter if you shut down the device or boot directly into recovery. You can choose to boot to recovery from the warning screen. I dont know what could be the problem with your phone.

Oh, you're right, I see now that I was using the TWRP version for the OnePlus 3, when I should have been using the one for the OnePlus 3T. I downloaded the correct one and it works now! Thank you very much for your help!

Rebooting to fastboot on CM10.1?

Having a small issue with my device, and I could do with getting in to fastboot to troubleshoot.
I have TWRP installed along with a nightly version of CM10.1, When I try ADB reboot bootloader The device reboots, flashes the first bootscreen for a second(Orange and White Kindle Fire) and then shuts itself down.
Any suggestions that don't involve getting a fastboot cable? I can make one if I have too, but I would rather try and find out why it wont work this way.
Nvmd
So, you don't see the blue Kindle Fire logo at all?
I see the Orange and white, then the Blue and White, and then it boots, When I try and reboot to bootloader, I see the Orange and White, and then it shuts down.

Why don't you use the volume button to access recovery?
Hashcode said:
TO ENTER RECOVERY:
Press the left volume button (volume up) while the logo is still YELLOW and keep pressing until the logo turns BLUE. Wait a moment and you should enter recovery.

I can enter recovery fine, I want to get in to Fastboot to test something.

If your device boots into recovery, you can issue the "reboot bootloader" command from there
If you are able to get into fastboot from there, you know it's the nightly version of CM10.1 that is the problem and not the bootloader. If that's the case, install a different ROM.
[Edit:] For curiosity's sake, what "troubleshooting" are you expecting to do in fastboot?

From ADB on the device?
Edit; I get a message "Error: Command not found" or something like that trying to run it on the device.
I just wish to test a reboot to fastboot mode, thats all :good:
Edit2:
Just noticed that when in recovery, Windows Device Manager has an ! next to "Amazon KindleFire2" Yet, There is no ! once booted, Interesting.

Oh nevermind, I was wrong. Typically you would use 'idme' to change the bootmode then reboot, but 'idme' isn't included in our version of TWRP. I thought maybe it could be pushed to recovery then executed, but I keep getting a "Segmentation fault" error on this version when trying it on my end. I'm not sure what's causing that other than perhaps this version wasn't made with 'idme' in mind, but that's purely speculation on my part. If you had any other device than a Kindle Fire 2 you wouldn't have any problem accessing fastboot, but as it stands now, I think your only option (to get into fastboot) is to acquire a factory cable or install a different ROM.
But even with fastboot, that's still not addressing your original problem. The fastboot binary is really only useful for overwrite\ing partitions and changing the bootmode. Whatever your problem is, it will likely be fixed by installing a non-nightly version of CM10.1 (nightly = not so stable).
As for your device manager, later versions of TWRP have different hardware IDs than that of the stock OS. Just add the hardware ID to your 'android_winusb.inf' and reinstall it.

Broken android when trying to enter recovery

Hi!
Today I unlocked bootloader and installed a custom rom and everything went fine.
Now, when I tried to flash the camera mod app, I couldn't enter TWRP. When trying to do it with the restart option it shows a broken android and I have to remove battery to get the phone running again. Manual (holidng down vol button + power button, as well as holding down buttons and releasing them for 1s) is also not working.
The phone works fine, but I would like to have TWRP working.
Can I just reinstall twrp like the first time?
Thank you

What device? H811? Needs to know more about what software you flashed.
If you can get into fastboot you can push twrp there.
Hmmm i flashed xperia phones locked bootloader twrp on my h818 and i got this error too so it means it changed the recovery but can't start it?

H815 EUR. I installed the 2.8.7.0 and the 2.8.6.1 from https://dl.twrp.me/h815/. I tried it multiple times with these 2 versions and everytime I get the same error.
Connecting it to pc and entering recovery works without a problem, though.
Edit: I flashed Genisys 3.7

So you can get into twrp with "adb reboot recovery"?
Your problem is you can not access it from neither the rebooter app nor the hardware buttons?
When using the harware buttons, hold vol down then press and hold power until the logo shows up. Release power for a second then press and hold again.

Correct, I can get in twrp with "adb reboot recovery"
I was releasing both the volume and power buttons. Tried it again, but I came to a menu where I could only choose whether to delete all data (factory reset) or not. When choosing NO, the phone proceeded to boot normally.

That menu is perfectly normal. You have to select okay. Because you have a custom recovery it will not factory reset your phone but rather boot you into twrp.

[Solved] Unlocked Bootloader now having trouble

I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP Recovery using the OP3 Tool. However now the phone will not boot unless I press the power button a few times. When it does boot I get the "Your device is not safe message", if I boot from here I get the OnePlus logo with the "powered by android" text but then it just shuts off. If I use the volume keys to select something else, I get nothing, the fastboot mode just gets stuck on the fastboot until I turn the device off, recovery just reboots to the "Your device is not safe screen".
Any help would be wonderful

Did you flash anything while you were unlocking the bootloader? The message is shown when the bootloader is unlocked so that is ok. Your phone, however, should turn on by long pressing the power button. You're getting a bootloop, If I were in such a situation I'd use the fastboot mode to flash the stock firmware again to get the phone working...

Oneplus 5t dead after update.

Hey
I installed the recent upgrade to my OP 5T and now the phone is not getting switched on, only the 1+ logo appears on pressing the power button and soon after it gets switched off.
I have tried the 'Volume Up + Power' button combination and fastloader screen appears, i tried to enter recovery mode but it just gets switched off after the 1+ logo when i select recovery mode.
OP5T_Unbrick_tool_dumpling ... not working:
The battery is getting charged normally and this is an android upgrade issue. I am a newbie, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
A possibility could be that you tried to do stock update local method through twrp or custom recovery... That's similar to what happened on mine when I did that on the first beta 10 update. If so I flashed latest stock recovery through the fastboot menu by plugging into computer and using ADB fastboot command "fastboot flash recovery" minus brackets and dragged the recovery over and pressed enter.
It appears to do it as the update launched some sort of boot script but can't be carried out without stock recovery leading to a sort of boot loop.
Also I found while trying to fix this if I updated from a ROM where it didn't have treble support or wiped the vendor (I did when panicking lol). I had to firstly install the stock ROM that introduced treble then install the beta 10 update.
Sorry if that was all pointless or irellivent but hope you get ur problem fixed soon.

Question OnePlus 9 Pro and TWRP issues

Apparently power + vol up + vol down pushed me right into fastboot, I was trying just vol-up or vol-down with power.
{Mod edit}
I just flashed TWRP after unlocking my phone like I have with every other OnePlus I've owned but after the "Flash Current TWRP option" and rebooting I'm stuck at an unresponsive pin screen. Nothing I do seems to receive input and locking/unlocking for a swipe to unlock is unresponsive as well. I tried rebooting to fastboot so I can reflash but it immediately jumps into TWRP.
Has anyone has this issue with the 9 Pro? This is my 3rd OP phone to do this process and the first I've had this issue with. Thanks!

You must be on Android 12 if it's doing that. TWRP isn't ready for a12 yet. You can only boot it not flash it on a12

Personally, I can only boot but not flash, even on OOS11.
When I boot on it, the touchscreen works while if I flash and boot on it, the touchscreen does not work.
Yeah there is no reason nowadays to flash TWRP on OnePlus phones. I haven't in the last two.
Also, haven't flashed twrp in a while; I only boot it!

I need to flash an update. I figured I needed TWRP. Can I just flash it through adb or will it brick?
