Can't flash any Custom Recovery on OP3

Hi everyone,
I've a little problem with my OP3, Yesterday I removed my OOS 3.2.6 with TWRP, I flashed the stock recovery back and then I've sideloaded the last OOS 3.5.3 Community Build. Today i'd like to flash the TWRP, i launched the Fastboot menu, nothing seems to go wrong by flashing but when i tried to boot into the recovery, the "1+ powered by android" appears for 5 sec and then a black screen, no TWRP screen... Same problem by trying to restore the OnePlus stock recovery..
I tried "fastboot -w" (wipe) this bring back the stock recovery.
I tried to sideload, OOS 3.5.3, OOS 3.5.3, ResurectionRemix 2.7.4 and CM14 but all of them failed at 47% of work...
I'm thinking that there is a problem caused by an encryption...
"fastboot format userdata" didn't solve the problem..
I'd like to know wich partition i can format/erase to remove this encryption (Loss of data is not a problem for me)
Thanks in advance

Have you tried to flash the modified TWRP ?

Yes, same problem as TWRP

Same thing happened to me on flashing twrp after sideloading CB 3.5.2 through stock recovery. But flashing the modified twrp 3.0.2-19 solved the issue.

It is newer firmware that won't let you boot into TWRP.
Flash modified TWRP 3.0.2-19 recovery through fast boot.
Then flash <=3.5.0 firmware from here using TWRP.
Then flash this TWRP 3.0.2-0 image again from fast boot.
Then flash a ROM of your liking.
If all else fails, you can try this (flash stock recovery and 3.2.4 FW) WITHOUT relocking and then flash TWRP 3.0.2-0 from the above link to see if that works.

I've been able to Flash the Modified recovery, and it booted. By flashing the patch, no problem detected, but after flashing the 3.0.2-0 same black screen as earlier...
So I flashed the modified back, and by trying to flash ResurectionRemix for exemple, no error happenned but, when boot begin, same problem as twrp ...
EDIT : Sorry guys, i didn't read correctly.. I was flashing the same patch ! The 3.5.3 and not the 3.5.0 !!! Normal TWRP is booting corectly now, i'll see for ROM !
Thank you very much to you !!
EDIT 2 : RR 2.7.4 BOOT !!! Thank you so much !

Hii,
Still the problem remains same I will explain in detail
I am back to cm14.1 when I flashed twrp from the above link
When I tried to flash some other ROMs they are flashed but screen goes blank after oneplus boot animation,
If I flash 14.1 ROM it is working fine
From cmd non of the recovery where flashed only the above is working
Plz help me
I want to go back to stock soon

It's because of the system partition rewriting issue. People in the cm and other communities are already working on it. Basically the boot partitions get rewritten when we install the cm 14.1 . It happens to some variants while others works fine. Just the issue because of not enough testing. Will be sorted out within time.
What you can do is. Use flashify app or fastboot from your pc and flash your twrp back after installing and booting into the cm 14.1. You can use any twrp no modified versions needed as far as it is supported by your device model. Ciao. Hit thanks if i helped.

I had the same problem as OP, got stuck with the CM 14 and did not like it (to early, to many bugs)
Wanted to go back to CM 13 but was unable to get into TWRP, and unable to flash CM13 back. Tried with fastboot and adb sideload, nothing worked.
The modified TWRP let me do i full wipe of the phone, (wiped Data, Dalik/ART, and system.) then copied the CM13 Stable release from here onto the phone, together with Gapps, and now everything is back to normal.
Again thank you, and thanks XDA! Somehow you always manage to save my ass after i messed with my device

Just flash the twrp image file again. The one you used before. Just flash it again. The same way you did back then.

Do i need to format data from twrp before flashing magisk in miui ?

I'm on 9.5.13 stable and i'm waiting for unlocking my bootloader, i heared that miui by default encrypt the phone, and after flashing magisk to get root, it will not boot unless i do format data from twrp to decrypt it, it that true or i'm missing something ?
I'm just want to get root on current build 9.5.13 to get some mods and enable camera2api without loosing all stock camera features.
Thanks in advance

Not true!
What your confusing things with, is when you flash TWRP, you need to flash lazyflasher to allow the device to boot. Or use a TWRP that includes a script to do so.
You can run the device encrypted if you want, but formatting data will let it run decrypted if magisk is flashed before booting rom.
Unlocking your bootloader will wipe data, so backup beforehand!

I am new to Custom ROM installer. I had unlocked refmi note 5 pro using miui tool and flashed twrp recovery. But I could nt flash lazyflasher through twrp.
Now my mobile works fine in miui 10 . But I couldn't root it. I need to flash resurrection remix ROM .
Please help me

@sathishob you don't need root to flash a custom rom. Check the rom thread you want to flash for instructions and further assistance.

@corkiejpThank you for the support corkiejp... Successfully i flashed a custom ROM (Resurrection remix 7 ) but I couldn't use the banking apps and camera doesn't open . I tried to solve it without root. But I couldn't . So I installed magisik now everything works fine . ( I couldn't install magisik easily. It took several times to success. Most probably it says error 1 . Installed magisik uninstall then every thing went smoothly.)
Installing Aosp extended ROM I fixed camera issue and by flashing magisik banking apps are working
Thanks a lot for your valuable reply...

Hello guys
I had unlocked my whyred and flashed twrp recovery by fastboot. First time it went smoothly . after reboot phone went to stock mi recovery . I searched and found that to resolve this i have to install lazyflasher zip file . so i tried to flash that file through twrp. I could nt flash that file because it showed some error message . some how i tried two or more times to flash it with some other lazyflasher files . It did nothing . Then i installed twrp image file from twrp recovery suddenly issue was solved . properly phone booted on twrp recovery .
Then i tried to flash magisik but i couldnt flash it because it says error 1 as a reason . I tried some more ways to flash it but i can't find any solution . from the help of corkiejp i flashed the resurrection remix 7 successfully without flashing magisik. But my camera was not worked and banking apps are not worked .
So i flashed the aosp extended pie rom and the camera worked fine . but i could nt use banking apps. I searched for a way and landed on flashing magisik manager . again the error 1 prevented me to flash magisik . I flashed magisik uninstall zip and everything went smoothly.
Now my phone was properly rooted and working fine.
But my question is if until now i could nt flash lazy flashers prooerlybon my phone . is this make any harm to my phone ? Please help me
Thanks in advance ...

Would you like to share the solution?

You have to be aware to flash a rom after you wipe data partition you need to change data partition to EXT4 for example to prepare to flash a Rom). All of this has to be done while in Recovery before you reboot. It happened to my device when it warned me that i have No OS.
If recovery cannot be flashed correctly, try the TRWP CN version mentioned on page 6 in the AOSiP thread, and if anyone has trouble after changing to EXT4 which is required to flash Custom Rom, just change the data partition (EXT 2 for example) on the advanced wipe/ change partition option, and then change back to EXT 4. And follow the instructions on AOSiP on how to flash properly.
That TWRP worked on first try in case the others don't work.
After boot to the rom... you can go back to Revovery, and flash Nigel's TWRP, and you will not have anymore problems with wiping data and doing OTA manually. (Whenever there's an update)

Error 7 in TWRP when flashing custom roms

I used to be on resurrection remix 7.1.2, but I flashed stock ROM so I could do a clean flash with another ROM. I used Xiaomi unlock tool to unlock bootloader again, then flashed TWRP thru ADB in fastboot. After that I went into recovery, wipe data,cache etc and tried to flash dotos 3.0, but it gave me error 7. I repeated same process with zirconium android 9.0, same thing I'm using latest TWRP, y do I get error 7?? I definitely have the right model etc

Hey mate, have you tried using a vendor based custom recovery? . Is your Twrp vendor based? ( you'll be able to see cust/vendor partition in the advanced wipe menu).
I was messing around today with Dot0s 3.0 and regular Twrp too and found out that i couldn't install any pie roms on regular Twrp. I was previously using batik recovery. So you might be able to flash on it. Let me know if you try it.
Edit : I got the same error 7 on pretty much all oreo and pie roms.

Flashing Nougat firmware first and then custom recovery worked.
See https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-5a/how-to/rollback-downgrade-to-miui-nougat-t3938904

This is work for me.. just extract your cusrom and then go to Meta-Inf > google , edit the updater script. and delete line "get prop ......." all of that line.
so the first line must " ui_print ("Target: ........"); "
save
and select all files from your cusrom, create zip, copy to sd card, install via Recovery
