Hello,
I have been trying to go trhough google searches and this forum for a while now
Situation,
Had a working OP3 completely stock until this afternoon (not sure which ROM but latest OTA from stock)
- I currently dont have access to a windows PC and I am using ubuntu on a chromebook (chrubuntu)
Steps
I unloacked bootloader - successfully
I installed TWRP - successfully
Installed latest CM14.1 - successfully
After first boot Phone stopped rebooting. I tried to wipe everything and after this, I dont have a partition in my file explorer (on Ubuntu) therefore can't copy files to install
I tried to adb sideload. I get "error: Protocol (no status)"
Only thing that seems to work is fastboot
I have tried to install CM-14.1 recovery or original recovery but only CM14.1 works
It seems complete phone (system/boot/img) are wiped and therefore can't start.
Do you have any ideas? would like to unbrick the phone
Thank you

Thank you, just recoevered the phone with the modded TWRP from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...mate-guide-t3497940/post69566175#post69566175
Question is, what are the mods on the recovery? can modded recoveries give 3rd parties access to your system?
Thanks for the quick reply, I would just like to understand what is going on so it doesn't happen again. When will it be ok to flash official TWRP?

No, dont be afraid of that. The recovery is simply modded to allow booting 3.5.5 based operating systems.
The recovery partition cannot share any information to any third parties because its limited to a partition that is only active when you boot to recovery and the operating system is not running. And the operating system is running independent from the recovery you are using. There is no activity between your recovery and your system/data/cache or watever partition. Because they are complete different boot states. Only action is durring the installation or wiping processes in recovery. Or if you are flashing mods/roms/kernels or changing&updating your recovery with root apps like flashify. But again it only gives a command for a flash process or wipe process to the recovery. A recovery is not able to run any kind of service app so it is not able to share any kind of information to anyone.

Hello all!
I am currently on OOS 3.2.8, and official TWRP. I have read all the instructions on the forums but all lead to one option, formatting internal memory. So, my question are:
1. Will flashing oos 4.0 work with official TWRP or 8 have to use modified 28 version?
2. How can I flash oos 4 with modified TWRP and not have to wipe internal memory?
I would appreciate all the responses. Thanks
I was the same predicament as you. I finally took the plunge and now I have Nougat running on my OP3. Here is what I did :
Start: OOS 3.2.8 w/ custom kernel and modified TWRP
1. Flash stock recovery (Google for a forum post in the OP3 forums on downloading the stock recovery and flash it through fastboot)
2. Reboot and let 3.2.8 start
3. Download Snap VPN and change the country to Canada. You will be prompted for the system update.
4. Let the update download (~1 GB)
5. Install the update. You may see an error of the installation may fail as your phone is rooted. Ignore and go ahead.
6. The installer will now boot to stock recovery and reboot with Nougat. All settings and apps will be maintained
The only catch is that you may have ext4 instead of f2fs. I am okay with it for now... But your mileage may vary
All the best!
Edit : Nougat running on my op3.

Are you rooted? Are you encrypted? What file systems are you using for your partitions? You're not giving full information. Why is formatting not an option if it'll give you the results you want?
To get to F2fs (I do recommend it)
Take a backup of your Data partition. , copy it to your pc with "adb pull /sdcard/Twrp/whatever".
Now go to Twrp>Wipe>Advanced select data and click on change file system. Change it to F2fs. Now restore your backup (Reader the guide all info is there). Profit!

I don't have any issues with ext4, infact i do feel ext4 is more stable than f2fs so file system is my last concern. Thanks for your method, but then how did u root again? Installing nougat is fine but what after that? I have read that you can't use modified twrp without formatting internal memory first, as it'll show you the pin issue. Let me know how do you propose a safe method to achieve root.

Yes i am encrypted, rooted, stock OOS 3.2.8 + Franco kernel. Official TWRP(not modified). I am using ext4, never used f2fs at all. The time to backup data and then to restore it all back is the reason formatting is not an "preferred" option for me. I can do it, but i would have to wait until i find enough time to do the whole process. I am in a full time job, so i hope you would understand.

Well this again defeats the purpose of my original question, but thanks mate. I would definitely read the guide if decide to switch to f2fs.
@abhibnl. BTW your encrypted. So the modified TWRP won't work.
How to fix:
Wipe Userdata with Fastboot / fastboot erase UserData
Boot into Twrp modified twrp.
Flash OOS 4.0 flash SuperSU and let it boot
You should be decrypted DO NOT install a boot password since you will be encrypted again.
I haven't rooted my phone again. My only reason to root is to install Adaway to block all ads. With DNS66 and Adguard, I have little incentive to root my stock nougat install.
Edit : I had encryption during 3.2.8 and it carried over to 4.0

Thanks a lot for informing me mate. I really don't want to decrypt my storage as of now. I guess flashing stock recovery is the only solution now. Will hope someone would pick up the twrp and update it.

Seems like stock recovery is the best way as of now. Seems like I'll have to love without root until someone updates twrp to support encrypted storage.
I haven't updated to Nougat yet, but I looked over Chainfire's SuperSU changelog and its installation script and both of them confirm that from March installing SuperSU prevents forced encryption. Also many guides suggest installing it as way for disabling forced encryption. Of course you have to flash SuperSU just after flashing ROM, before booting the system.

Very simple indeed...

3. Once installation completed, flash twrp .28 and latest su

That i already knew mate. But i WANT my storage to remain encrypted. And that's the issue with modified TWRP. You can't enter into recovery on that if your storage is encrypted.

Again, "You can't enter into recovery on modified TWRP if your storage is encrypted." So i won't be able to enter into twrp in the first place, let alone flash anything.

In the same boat as you. I have OOS 3.2.8 encrypted, rooted and TWRP 3.0.2-1.26. I too would like to update but have way to much stuff on my phone to back it all up and restore it. Hope you or someone come's up with a solution. I will be following your thread.
Thanks.
Go to twrp. Press backup. Select only data. Save to PC youre backup for safety..
3.2.8 it's Android 6, 4.0 it's Android 7. Some apps might not work from base to base.
If you want to change to F2FS it will format youre phone, wipe phone full internal memory. If you want to change it back to ext4, same.
Clean flash, full wipe it's always better.

My suggestion (and my steps are in #1), install stock recovery, install snap VPN, download the update and install (ignore any errors on root). Once done, you will have Nougat with stock recovery, encryption maintained and all app data also intact.

This is the last resort brother. With this method, unfortunately I won't have any root available. The only way now is to wait for updated twrp.

Well, I tried something, waiting on it to finishing booting and see how it went.
I flashed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p version,
Flashed the OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip inside TWRP,
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip right after flashing OTA zip.
Its rebooting and says Android is upgrading. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: Its booted and I am on Nougat, didnt lose my data and phone is still encrypted!
Edit: Ended up having issues with settings app locking up. So, I went a different route and its all working great now.
Downloaded the stock recovery image and renamed it to recovery.img
Make sure after you rename it its not named recovery.img.img, If you have show file extensions enabled on your pc you should already see the file extension.
Rebooted to bootloader - adb flash recovery recovery.img
Using the volume keys and power button selected - reboot recovery.
Now in stock recovery - flashed OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip
After rom is done flashing, went right back into bootloader. Did not let my phone reboot to start the OS.
Renamed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3p.img to recovery.img
adb flash recovery recover.img
Powered off phone and Manually boot it into recovery by holding Power + Volume Down button.
Phone booted into TWRP
Flashed SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip
Wiped cache / dalvik
Rebooted system from TWRP and waited. System is really smooth now, no issues yet. Been playing with it for awhile now.
During the booting up process it might take a minute and it will reboot twice. Dont get nervous like I did thinking it was going to start bootlooping. It booted just fine. I read in a nother thread that SuperSU is what causes it to boot twice.
So......Now I have OOS 4.0 Nougat, Rooted, Encrypted and everything seems to be working fine.
Hey guys, hello there. I need a little help over here.
The other day I made the mistake to install an OTA on my rooted Moto G5 (dual SIM). I had the stock image, TWRP & unlocked bootloader. Of course it failed to install the OTA, but the weird thing is that it always boots to TWRP recovery. No matter if I choose to reboot completely or to boot to system from the TWRP reboot menu, it always goes back to TWRP.
Tried a few things, but none of them worked. Mainly I remember trying the "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" and did nothing. I didn't try this solution even though problem looks similar. Mainly I didn't want to have to unlock the bootloader and install recovery all over again.
Later I discovered that if I go to the bootloader and hit START from there, boots into OS. So it is functional.
Anyway, I installed Atomic OS ROM thinking I'll get rid of the problem and gain a custom ROM, and everything works, but the problem stays. If I reboot the phone, I have to do TWRP -> Bootloader -> System in order to get it to the OS.
Anyone has any idea on how to fix it?
I have the same problem, it comes back to recovery all the time and we can tell you about it, some help please

Hi, I've come back, hahaha, I installed resurrection remix 7.1, previous all the wipes and reboot in bootloader I gave start and started, great.
I had this problem trying to install the rom ViperOS. I solved it with one of these steps:
- Boot into Fastboot, select "Start" with volume Keys.
- Flash "boot.img" directly from the zip that is ROM, do this using a PC.
- If you're using stock rom, reflash boot.img
Greetings

Have you tried to boot from Fastboot?
Yes, it works once...
But if I have to restart it (or turn off and start with the power button), the phone boot always in recovery.
It is then necessary to restart fastboot then press "start".

Try do a full reset through fastboot and then try installing whatever you need through fastboot and recovery. Much more reliable han ota installs/updates

I have the same issue. But the suggestions posted wouldn't help me. I have the stock ROM and I'm rooted with Magisk using TWRP recovery. I want to keep the stock ROM and don't want to go through the trouble of backing my data again. So, I was wondering if there was any work around. Would flashing the stock ROM, Boot and recovery without deleting user data partition help??

Backing up Gigs of data is a huge pain. Even if I have to copy to my pc. So, just something that's less cumbersome.

Anyone get the stock for 16gb/2gb version?
FAILED (Do not allow to flash Bootloader image on Unlock device) & TWRP - Failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)
I'm using the Lenovo p2a42 32gb 3gb version (India)
My phone is stuck in fastboot mode. Bootloader is unlocked.
I have the latest twrp - 3.2.2.0 as recovery.
I flashed everything except the modem and bootloader to stock.
Bootloader & modem wont flash - cannot flash unlocked bootloader error.
I have tried everything I can think of:
1. Restore to stock 7.1 (cannot flash bootloader error)
2. Relock Bootloader (not allowed error)
3. Even gave my phone to a repair guy as last resort.
No luck yet.
Its 17000 bucks worth.
And has been laid to waste due to my ****up.
I really want to repair it myself if possible.
Please help me if you can. I'm open to any and all ideas.
Thanks in advance.
Alright mate,
Download this HERE
Extract it.
Boot phone into bootloader/fastboot mode.
Connect it via cable.
Run flashall - stock reco.bat and wait until it is done. Your phone will reboot on its own.
Gimme some details if it doesn't work. Don't worry, it'll be fine.#
Also: NEVER RELOCK THE BOOTLOADER VIA COMMAND, that is a sure-way to **** it up much more.

Seems like you have a faulty battery or something on your hardware side.
Fun fact: getting into recovery(twrp) is done via Fastboot since the button combo is a ***** and isn't reliable. The timing is too stupid done.
The one team rescue files always work as long as you're in Fastboot/bootloader mode.
It's worth the try
I can't thank you enough @sm00th4f3

Glad it worked
I restored the stock firmware.
My phone boots to the start screen , after I select the language it's unable to detect or connect to the wifi or to the mobile network.
Therfore I cannot proceed to finish the setup.
TWRP shows a firmware error-
- failed to mount '/firmware' (invalid argument)
Please advice @sm00th4f3

You shouldn't restore stock firmware from backup.
After using rescue tool.
Setup your phone from zero.
Or skip through setup.
Reboot to bootloader.
Flash latest twrp 3.2.3 can be found on official website
Change data system format to ext4 if it's not already.
Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik
Flash custom ROM of your choice
Flash gapps
flash magisk for root if you need it
Wipe dalvik and cache
Reboot.
Setup phone.

I followed your instructions. No luck yet.
After flashing the custom rom, the phone bootlooped.
I changed the data & system to ext4 , I get the failed to mount firmware error.

You really are new to this.
Use the rescue tool.
Let the phone boot.
Skip through setup.
Enable developer options.
Make sure and debugging is enabled.
Connect phone to pc.
Grant always access , which popups on phone.
Open a CMD, in the folder of your adb tools.
Use adb reboot bootloader.
Or use the button combo to get to bootloader /Fastboot mode
Flash twrp.
Boot twrp
Reboot to recovery twrp via reboot menu
Change file system of data to ext4
Reboot to recovery again via reboot menu in twrp.
Now use factory reset, then wipe system partition.
Flash custom ROM
Gapps
Magisk if wanted.
Reboot.
Wait max 10min.
Should work.

I 'm new to this & I appreciate your help, but
I followed your instructions again yet the error remains the same.
My phone is not detecting any wifi or cellular data - so I cant proceed /skip the process of setting up my stock phone.
And when i flashed the custom rom, the firmware error shows up.
And believe me I've tried a lot, but it just wont work.
I've come too far to give up now, any suggestions?

Before flashing twrp.
Use Fastboot oem unlock
.
Try again without custom ROM this time .
I'm looking into it.
Still stuck at the start screen,
I might be wrong but here is what I think is wrong with the phone:
The modem just won't flash therefore no wifi or cellular data.
The firmware is corrupted.
Thanks for your continued support.

Hello, well i messed up my phone really bad. deleted the bootloader. Phone wasnt working. But then used blank flash to get things working again. Just that it only charges now when i run it in bootloader mode. Now what i think u can do is delete all partitions using fastboot. I dont know the terms or words to say, but you can try to delete all partitions and then flash them again and check. use the stock files or what you call those emmc, modem and those bin files that is used to flash via fastboot. It may help but can be risky. Well hope this makes any sense

there is no need to erase your partitions.. Unless you want to brick your device for real.
But you can try it at your own discretion at risk.
i won't help any further since i don't know that much more concerning this kinda problem.
cheers
Fatal Error

Hey buddy, I recently ran into same problem as yours. Have you found any working fix for this issue?
Please reply.
Hey
couldn't find anything related to my situation so I decided to ask. Here it goes:
After having to wait an entire week to unlock the bootloader (really??) its finally unlocked and I decided to install LineageOS.
Got a Mi10T Lite, gauguin, M2007J17G. It managed to snuck in an update to something like August 2020 security level at some point but after unlocking it got reset, so I suppose it had Android 10 and MIUI 12(?).
Simple enough, have done that countless times before.
- Flashed recovery, format data/factory reset as explained in wiki
- adb sideloaded ROM (nightly builds 20220822 and 20220815) - both succeeded
After rebooting the devices enters the bootloader again.
The wiki never mentions behaviour like this and I couldn't find anything online.
Do I need to flash latest MIUI ROM again?
Any ideas what went wrong and how to solve this issue?
I unzipped the ROM and fastboot boot boot.img which just resulted in a reboot to fastboot again.
Any idea or, preferrably, a solution would be most welcome
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have same issue. I installed lineage 19.1 2022-09-26 on Mi 10T lite, actually last nightly, and after succesfull installation, after reboot lineage doesnt start and i have just fastboot mode. I have lineage recovery installed, and if i try to install recovery-rom, i dont feel comfortable on installing fastboot-rom, i get error, just after 47% i get unknown signature and it ask if i want continue, if i choose yes continue, on device it says it cant downgrade so its stopped. I also deleted cache but it didnt help, im not very happy to format system partition, im worried to brick it. Should i format system partition? And how deal with missing signature when i try to push stock rom? should i allow it?

i didnt understand completely, should i find stock recovery and 'fastboot flash recovery stock-recovery.img'
or just using miflashtool without adding any stock recovery?

Use Miflash and read the tutorial carefully.
Miflash=Fastboot rom
Thank you, i unbricked it, and i installed lineage. Great Job
