Stuck on team win recovery project please help

I have no idea how to root or anything like that, I bought this oneplus 3 and had a update a week later.. so when I did the software update it took me into teamwin recovery mode and now I don't know how to get back into my phone please help....

Did you buy the phone second hand or did you try to flash TWRP yourself? It shouldn't have TWRP installed by default.
Regardless, you can use TWRP to flash the latest update.
Given that you have TWRP, I'm assuming that you have an unlocked bootloader. Did you notice a warning pop up everytime you reboot your phone before? It should say something along the lines of "your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted". If not, you'll have to unlock it (it wipes your phone in the process).
If the bootloader is unlocked, you can simply download and flash the latest zip for OOS 4.0.3 in TWRP. This will update you phone and replace TWRP with the stock recovery (so you don't run into this problem again in the future when installing an OTA). If you don't intend to modify your phone in any way, then this is all you need to do, your phone should be functional.
There are plenty of threads with detailed guides on how to do all of this.

I'm also stuck on TWRP after stupidly downloading the latest OTA and I don't know what to do!
Phone won't boot normal, just goes off.
Situation:
- Bootloader, Fastboot and TWRP wil load.
- Device seen by windows
- Zip install in TWRP gets stuck at 'patching zip unconditiontally'
- Another zip flashes, but gets stuck at the end, no reboot option (manually but that's not the way)
Can someone please point me in the right direction? I don't care if I lose data, just want my phone back!

Simple, check the OnePlus D/L sites for this one http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/recovery_op3.img and flash it by TWRP or fastboot to RECOVERY. Boot once with the official Recovery and all ist fine again.

This is issue of using a faulty twrp so for that when ur phone us booting up go to fastboot and flash twrp 3.0.4-1 and everything will work

Similar Problem here:
just wanted to flash latest OOS 4.0.3, so I flashed back stock recovery with flashify and rebooted into recovery mode to flash the already downloaded OOS 4.0.3. zip. That's when it began to go poop! After rebooting it just went dark with no Chance to power it on again! No dice with power button, Volume up/down + power button, nothing! Not even the LED's are blinking when plugged in. So this one seems to be basically dead!
I got it once booting again after randomly pushing the buttons (after x minutes!?), but everytime I reboot the phone it just shuts off without beeing able to power it on again. At the Moment it's dead!
Any ideas what might happened? If I get it on again, should I immediately reset it to factory Settings?
I am kinda lost here! Any help/ideas would be much appreciated!

Flashify? Never used it and never trusted apps which flash stuff on a running system. Use fastboot and reflash the recovery partition. Link to recovery is in my former post.
fastboot flash recovery PATHTOIMGFILE

Thank you for your advice! Still a lot to learn! Got it up again, will try as you suggested!

It appeared that my stock recovery file was corrupted , but all is fine again! Thank you very much!

I may have been the person you traded with to get the OnePlus 3, but I took the phone back and after 5 hours I got it up and running.
The phone would boot to TWRP, but even after wiping the entire system and dragging a ROM zip to the internal storage, reinstalling did nothing. It just kept booting back to recovery.
The solution entailed the following.
Download stock recovery IMG. Flashed through TWRP. Rebooted recovery and now was back to stock recovery.
Download the official OxygenOS ROM zip from the OnePlus website and changed the name to update.zip
Next I downloaded Android studio for access to ADB. I had never used ADB before, but I knew this was needed to push a file to the phone.
Needless to say, ADB kept freezing my computer when I would type in the commands to side load.
I deleted Android studio and installed a minimal ADB/Fastboot I found online. I opened my command prompt, typed the command for sideloading, and immediately got my installation starting. It took about 10 minutes to fully install. When it was finished, I rebooted and had a fully functioning OnePlus 3

Stuck in fastboot. No recovery... no bueno :(

So I had my ze551ml / Z00A rooted, was loving life, all was great. Then I tried getting XPosed access and didn't read up on it prior. Anyways, now my phone is stuck in fastboot, I'm able to flash partitions and all, including recovery partition, yet I cannot enter any mode but the hung ASUS logo, or fastboot. I weas even able to load CM's "upgrade to MM bootloader" package, but still the same thing only with green letters where they once were blue..... Please help, I need my beloved phone back.....

I'm not a pro but if you can access fastboot it is just a soft brick and I'm sure many people can point you on the right thread to recover it.

I've scoured the depths of both XDA and the ASUS forums, and while I've gained much knowledge of how I can possibly fix it, nothing seems to work. I go to select "recovery mode" and it instantly just boots right back in to fastboot.....

Thanks -- you can install giovix`s modder tool from general section
Set it up , use`return to stock option` --in that option , first select boot , then after- recovery(both will be stock)
You then can either
A- Reboot to stock recovery ,adb Sideload stock M -- Follow on to B-( to back-up stock before flashing)
B- Unlock bootloader again , flash twrp and root (if twrp version in modder is now 3.0.3.M4 you can flash lineageos)
---------------------------------------------------------------(if twrp version in modder is still 3.0.2.1 M - you will have to flash 303M4 in fastboot or in 3021M twrp.
1) You might be able to, fastboot flash 3.0.3.M4 immediately and forget above A&B completely
For 303M4 recovery see lineageOS in original android development section OP for download link

So I've yet to try your solution, but I do have an update, I was able to, one by one, flash all the stock files (stock as in the stuff I downloaded from asus site) and was almost able to boot to recovery, but when I got to the red triangle android, I couldn't get it to go further. I've heardf alternate key combos for proceeding from there, and tried them all, but maybe I'm just an idiot...... I'll try the giovix solution when I've got time (patience).
**when I tried flashing the cm upgrade package after that, it went back to square 1, so I gave up for the evening.**

Here's the thing. I'm super stubborn, and I think I know everything (cuz I do....) so of course I decided that I could figure something out, so I tried my way first............ didn't pan out.... anyway, I'm finding any time I flash a TWRP file, I have no access to recovery mode. Regardless if I do it manually through fastboot, or CM upgrade/downgrade or even the giovix fix (yes I tried it). My question is this, Where is there a return to stock option? of the giovix DLs I could find, I see a 'magisk root' 'TWRP' 'bootloader unlocker' and 'Xposed' tools, nothing else.... Am I missing something? or am I just skimming over that part?
I do appreciate all the help, seriously. Even if it seems like I'm not taking suggestions very well. It's moreso I don't have access to a computer most of the day, and it's not a huge priority since I went and bought a zfone 3 max a few days ago (decent phone for what it is....crazy battery life)

https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/tool-ze551mlmodder-t3458145
Functions:
1- Check connection status
2- Bootloader Unlocker
3- Flash TWRP 3.0.2-0 M1
4- Full-auto xposed flasher!
5- Full-auto root flasher!
5B- Full-auto root (Magisk+Phh's) compatible with 184!
6- ADB Shell
7- Return back to stock
8- Erase /system, /data and /cache for a clean upgrade
9 (HIDE)- Auto-reboot to bootloader
10- More functions inside!

well then forgive me for not downloading the correct option. I nowhere see this list among anything I downloaded, so maybe specify which is which ('full' or 'auto')....... I'm already downloading both of them again, because I'm not sure which I already had. But yea, one of the 2 only has the 4 options I mentioned.

Its not rocket science

So i finally see what you've been trying to tell me, and I returned everything back to stock, but I still have the same problem, recovery now loads but system wont boot up. I'll try loading the individual factory IMG files today, via fastboot, or should I use a zip file from Asus via recovery?

In stock recovery - choose update from adb -- adb sideload cmd is >
adb sideload MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
Put .134 M asus firmware in adb/fastboot folder first rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE(without zip) before this cmd above and then open up adb and type it in and hit enter.
Just in case you are trying different methods (see if this works )

I'll try it today. Last I checked it was hanging at the ”! Android” screen. But then again I'm not sure I know the combo to get passed that screen, I know it's either power and + or power and - but my only success I got into by button mashing all three keys rapidly, so, yea, I know, I'm am idiot.

EDIT"""" because i got it wrong too , i dont even think about , i just do it
It`s ->
From powered off position
Press Power and Vol +
at two vibes, release power
at boot up screen ,release vol+
in bootloader ,scroll vol up or down to and then select(press power) at recovery selection.
At dead android guy -> press vol + and power for 4 seconds -> release Vol +
You should be in recovery.

i am replying in this post since i have a similar problem, and I am as stubborn as OP. Me posting here is a big step in acknowledging my defeat at last. Hours of digging through the internet didn't solve my problem
I have changed my ifwi and dnx more times than i can remember. (my clean slate is mostly using xFSTK downloader with xFSTK_ZE551ML-sal358-amtech.vn files)
Using the above mentioned method (giovix`s modder tool) to go back to stock i still boot into fastboot, not recovery mode.
trying to unlock bootloader it says on the phone "unlock fail"
Using asus flash tool with raw files i get "gpt command failed"
Using a manual method i get the "gpt command failed" on the "6. fastboot oem partition /tmp/partition.tbl" step
in my opinion as soon as i get some kind of recovery my problems are solved. But have been working four hours on this problem with all possible solutions i could think of, nothing but frustration.
info: current ifwi 0094.0183 (wich should be M)
serial 01234........EF
and using the toolkit on "https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/bl-unlock-ze551ml-toolkit-t3546293" i found out my device firmware version is 198 (wich is probably not good in combo with the ifwi)
little update in a certain config (android 5 / ifwi 0094.177 / stock recovery) i can boot up untill the dead android icon, but with whatever key combo can't get past it... (vol up + power) / (vol down + power)
fastboot flash boot recovery.img (yep i am really desperate to get into recovery) doesn't even give me the dead android.
thank you beforehand!

Last paragraph with android 5 ifwi 0094.0177
Is your serial correct ?
Press vol + once is it correct?, if not you will have to xfstk first again and flash raw (twice) with temp bootloader 0094.1069
See my unbrick video for help

First of all, thank you very much for your reply!
I was not very specific there, the android 5 is not the rom (still wasnt able to flash the rom) its only the files like droidboot, ifwi, dnx, .... that i got form lolipop.
Indeed the serial is still 1234........EF (so not the correct one)
I do understand i have to flash the raw twice to get the correct serial, but flashing raw doesn't work. I get "gpt command failed" every time. (so the point where i have to restart flashtool is not even reached). Also if i try to do it manualy.
I watched your video (thanks it was my first steps into understanding how it all worked) but unfortunatly didn't work for me.
Any other ideas?

Did you get this device in this condition ?
If not, what happened so that you lost serial ?
Anyway , i have never tried this because i have ALWAYS succeeded flashing raw (twice) to correct serial BUT it may work for you.( i am not sure you have a device that can have the serial corrected due to whether its been tampered with previous ) which affects recovery and IMEI.
Usually , xFSTK is used to install temp bootloader - Its supposed to be the lowest level form of unbricking procedure and restores temp bootloader so you can fastboot after-- flashing raw in fastboot via AFT(twice) restores serial -- 1st flash approx 3mins is with incorrect serial and temp bootloader.
After a couple of mins, cmds on phone pauses on RESULT=OK on phone.
You close AFT and open AFT again , input raw and set AFT up -- press Vol+ on phone -> once, serial will be corrected and 2nd flash can be started and left until it boots into android 5 by itself.
If GPT trouble , that link may help.
There is other programmes for starting to create serial and restoring .
Usually people who use these , have to dig deep into buildprop stuff which if tampered with can end up with problem such that you have.
Good luck
see if anything here helps

[RECOVERY][UNOFFICIAL][TWRP] For Sony Xperia T3 D5103 (seagull)

Hi guys, I decided to start modding this smartphone, now that I have a computer capable of compiling in a few hours.
I ported TWRP 3.0, based on Omni 6.0 source to this device. There are a few things not working and I need other people's help and feedback.
READ FULL GUIDE AND NOTES BEFORE FLASHING!!!
-Necessary steps:
Unlock bootloader. Here's a guide from Sony
-How to install:
1)From computer, open a terminal (Linux and MacOS) or command prompt (Windows) where you saved the file (download below). (Linux And MacOS. On Linux you'll need to flash with sudo) or where you have the platform-tools (Windows)
2)Poweroff your phone.
3)Boot into bootloader by pressing Volume+ button while connecting the usb cable into the usb port (the usb cable has to be inserted into the computer's port too, to successfully boot into fastboot)
4)With unlocked bootloader, type fastboot flash recovery twrp_3.0.2-0-seagull-UNOFFICIAL.img, if you renamed the files, substitube "twrp_3.0.2-0-seagull-UNOFFICIAL.img" with your file name or the directory where you saved the file.
5)When you see the OK message from fastboot, disconnect your phone.
6)Press Power, Volume+ and Volume- untile the phone vibrates.
7)Release Volume+ key. When you see the Sony logo appear, wait 3-4 seconds and then release Power button.
8)You should see TWRP bootscreen after a few seconds
-What's working:
Almost all. I could succesfully flash GApps and Root packages from this recovery, Backup, Restore and Wipe partitions. Settings work fine. Terminal and File manager work.
-What's NOT working:
Can't read files MicroSD or USB-OTG, can't browse in them and can't wipe. Investigating about it.

Thanks Everyone

Cool, although upon booting into recovery the screen isn't operating normally, similar to what happens when flashing the fxp lollipop. Might be because I'm on stock ROM/kernel though.

What do you mean with "isn't operating normally"? The screen only displays coloured bands? If so, it should have be fixed, maybe only the download link is wrong. Tell me, I'll fix in a minute

Yes, sorry for not being more specific xD, I'm indeed getting the white-grey bands on screen.

It's possible it's the lollipop kernel that's to blame, since I've had the same problem with other lollipop builds.

Tried both versions, so it's probably my device.
(However, if it is it's fine, since I do have working twrp.)

Does this build require an updated bootloader to allow access to the "recovery" partition?
I've got a T3 with a successfully unlocked bootloader, but fastboot gives an error (something about a missing partition table) when I try flashing anything to recovery.
Google tells me that Sony released an updated bootloader some time ago which ought to make a recovery partition available, but I cannot find any active links or instructions for downloading and installing it anywhere,

Don't know

In order to flash recovery, you first need to download and install the Emma flashtool and restore your phone through it. That will add a recovery partition so you can flash twrp. (The Emma flash tool supports only the D5103 model of the T3 as far as I know)

I tink you will have the same as the eagle (m2) device, you need to update your bootloader and then flash recovery...

Hi
I'm playing with my old Xperia T3 recently and I was able to unlock bootloader and install your TWRP on my device. I'm able to boot into recovery with the method you described. But since my power buton is in a quite bad condition, I'm looking for another way to boot into twrp. I rooted my Xperia with Magisk and I tried to enter recovery from it, but the phone just rebooted. The same happend when I tried to enter recovery from terminal. What can be the cause? Is there any other reliable way to boot into your twrp?
Cheers

Maybe you can try by holding down the volume down button when rebooting, it may work.
In other case, I think the only option is fixing the button

But since my power buton is in a quite bad condition, I'm looking for another way to boot into twrp. I rooted my Xperia with Magisk and I tried to enter recovery from it, but the phone just rebooted. The same happend when I tried to enter recovery from terminal. What can be the cause? Is there any other reliable way to boot into your twrp?
Cheers

[Solved]Requesting Help Regarding Mi A2 Lite (Stuck in Unlocked Boot loop, No OS installed)

Just this day, November 23, 2021, I have been trying to flash a custom rom named Syberia OS for daisy(Mi A2 Lite variant). As I have done booting up the device to fastboot(thru cmd command since my power button is jammed), I installed the twrp after booting the image to the device, making it as my recovery.
Now I am set and excited to install the rom, so I went to fastboot again and tried to flash the rom, but it always errors and not installing the rom. It is said "to flash multiple zips, reboot recovery before..." (correct me if I'm wrong), so I rebooted to recovery thru the twrp (since its in fastboot). Now, I did the same, I installed the rom again and experienced the same error so I dont know what to do, I did wiped system, data, dalvik and internal storage (a lot of times and tried to install the rom again), but I get the same error.
Then since I cant install the rom, I went to reboot to system thru twrp, and then I forgot, that I have no OS installed.
So now I'm stuck with the "Your device software can't be checked for corruption. Please lock the bootloader. Please visit this link..." plus arriving to the AndroidOne logo, and it turns off and turns on again with the message and logo, repeats until the battery is completely empty.
Is there anything I could do to go to fastboot again for a clean install of the stock rom? (I promise to not unlock the bootloader and experiment on custom roms again)
(I am sorry if you find it hard to understand, I am willing to edit this thread for better understanding if there are things you dont understand.)
This is what I see after all that happened...:

Hey brother, I had the same situation a few months ago. My device - Redmi 6 (Cereus).
So, I was trying to install TWRP in Redmi 6 and then after trying many times TWRP successfully got installed. But when I tried to boot the device, It stuck in bootloop (Going to fastboot and again booting...). So, the answer is that you first boot into fastboot mode of your device and then download the fastboot Rom of your device, (link of fastboot rom of your device - https://xiaomifirmware.com/download/18010/ ) . Then go to your PC and then extrac
the fastboot file, then connect your phone to pc and go to fastboot mode then open the extracted folder and then click on flash-all (The batch file) and then a new command window will open automatically and flashing process will start. After it's done your phone will reboot automatically. For reference, go ahead. Best of luck!

I am having same issue. What did you do fix the power button?

S10e - impossibility to install Lineage OS

I need to install Lineage OS on this phone.
After multiple tries several months apart, I am still not in success.
Followed all internet tutorials and sites.
I don't want to install any G apps or any special root-things like magdisk..
I only want pure Lineage OS without any extra applications.
Way I tried and probably ended up like before:
Get newest official samsung ROM installed, update, enable usb debigging and oem, go download mode and go factory reset, get back in, sign in to wifi again, again enable develop. settings and usb debugging, go into download mode, take odin and install through the AP option the TWRP now that the phone is in download mode a 3rd time, supposed to be possible now with OEM unlock.
Most of the names on the way I don't understand, just follow tutorials.
I need to get to TWRP to then finally, as used to always, install Lineage from zip.
But I never get rebooted into TWRP recovery, just forver the samsung one, even when firmware is no longer there - after flashing in ap option the twrp tar again it never boots into TWRP afterwards.
Is there something else i must do? is not getting into oem unlock and flashing TWRP enough to get there?
And after, will the zip install finaly get me to have lineage installed?

Did you try the official guide?
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/beyond0lte/
I hope I picked the right phones, otherwise check devices overview.
Alternatively, perhaps this helps:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-a-graphical-installer-for-lineageos.4509995/
PS: Usually LOS doesn't do TWRP anymore but comes with its own recovery (a/b)

Why they don't do TWRP now?
I saw TWRP tuorial fot s10 on tutorials and it worked
Do I have to give up on TWRP way and od it with the adb commands from PC

Why

It's because of this new double recovery scheme:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/help-understanding-a-b-partitions.3748003/post-75545902
https://source.android.com/docs/core/ota/ab
https://www.xda-developers.com/how-...ess-updates-affect-custom-development-on-xda/
EOD: It's safer, updating happens in the background, then just a quick reboot et voila.

Yes, it's still there but perhaps you post a link to your guide (or ask there). To me it seems you had TWRP just in your RAM but not your phone?
As for me, I finally gave up on TWRP and use the "crappy" LOS recovery Have way more important things to waste my time on...
PS: Sorry to bring such "bad" news, wasn't too happy with that change myself

Great, I finaly made it work.
I followed the site with turotial on installation and did not try TWRP
First I had to install samsung ROM again
It turned out to still stay unlocked so went straight to download mode and this time flashed Lineage recovery sucesfuly with heimdall
Then it booted up and a half samsung sreen made it seem like there is trouble
but Lineage recovery launched
The adb load from PC did not work so i chose to instal zip from SD even there
Now Lineage is installed
Still don't know how much is randomness, luck and so on
But it's done and hopefuly repeatable

Well, most of times: Far too often I forget some little prerequisite, too... so started a little text file with steps/reminders.
