Z00A Only boot to TWRP, cant boot to system - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

[HELP GUIDE] - Can't flash TWRP on Oxygen OS 3.2.1

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

[HELP] Unable to flash Stock/TWRP recovery or Any ROM via FASTBOOT(bootloader)

I was on OOS community build 3.5.3 with modified twrp-3.0.2-19-oneplus3.
I wiped everything except internal storage after that I tried to flash official TWRP.
After installing official twrp via modified TWRP. Niether I can boot into my recovery nor able to install any recovery via fastboot.
it I use "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
after installing recovery with this command My bootloader get stuck then I have to again restart my bootloader.
please help
You're probably stil on 3.5.2 firmware which isnt compatible with official twrp. Try and get into fastboot and try flashing modified twrp again. Then reboot in recovery and flash 3.2.6 firmware (not the rom) from modified twrp. Then reboot and flash official twrp from recovery or in flashify app.
i had this problem the other day, fixed this by flashing the modified recovery from a post here turn it off the booted it up by holding vol down + power and somehow it worked i was able to go into twrp

TWRP gets overwritten

I'm on latest ob18. I am able to flash it, and run it once, but after reboot, the stock recovery gets Back. Any ideas?
Just Reflash twrp via flashify or adb in fastboot mode, that could be normal if u r flash an unmodified stock rom
Yep. On latest ob-Oos or H2o for me recovery stays, after instaltion of the rom. But on a second reboot, stock recovery shows and i reflash custom recovery again.
Guys I flashed latest H2OS beta over OOS Beta18 and lost access to recovery. These are the steps I followed, please help.
1. Backup current ROM (OB18)
2. Dirty Flash New H2OS version
3. Flash recovery image again
4. Reboot system
ROM booted without any problems and all my data is present but I lost access to TWRP.
Solution attempted: Reboot to fastboot and flash recovery image again, the process is successful but still TWRP is not coming up.
Please help. Thanks in advance
Stock rom always over writes recovery best way to get it to stick is flash stock zip than twrp reboot to twrp and reboot or flash mods/root

Flash twrp via fastboot.
Boot to twrp via
Fastboot boot twrp.img
Replace "twrp" with the file name of your twrp.
Once twrp booted, go into reboot menu. And reboot to recovery again. That will make your phone boot again into twrp, but this time with more rights.
Go into wipe. Advanced wipe
Change data partition file system to ext4.
Reboot again into twrp via the reboot menu ,just like before.
Now go into wipe again, and format system,data,dalvik and cache.
Flash your rom.
Flash gapps (if not otherwise stated by ROM thread)
Flash Magisk (optional, if you want root)
Wipe dalvik and cache.
Reboot. And enjoy

In my moto Z Play some roms needs Nougat bootloader like xperince

We only have one bootloader.
We have different firmwares though like nougat and marshmallow.
You will need Firmwares S244 for nougat ROMs.
That firmware must be flashed through ota. Stockrom-feature. Simply using twrp does not count as doing otas.
Basic starter things: Have Firmware S244 or S251 installed through stock ota feature.
Then use my earlier stated instructions.
Thx alot it worked & no problems

Help!! My Pixel 2 XL is stuck in the bootloader!

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
