Op3 only boots into twrp after failed update

Hello,
I wanted to update my op3 from Beta8 to Beta9 while using ota. I didnt realised that I had twrp installed. So after booting into recovery nothing happened.
Now I cant reboot my op3. It only boots into twrp. Even a normal flash and a full wipe + install cant restore anything...

I have the same problem

Here the same but with CM14 after a wrong download & install now Recovery Loop
How to solve???

I had this problem too. Flash the Oxygen recovery OB7. It will update automatically and turn on. But be patient because it takes a lot.

The way I found works is to start from scratch and yes you will lose all data on the phone. Had to do this yesterday because I messed a few things up.
Make sure you have the modified recovery (1.28), Beta 9 Full (1.3GB), and SuperSU (SR5) if you want root, on your computer. And you will need your computer for these steps.
1. Boot to TWRP > Wipe > Format Data. There's a warning screen you just type yes and press enter. This should set your /data partition to F2FS; all other partitions will remain EXT4. (The TWRP MTP didn't pop up on me so then I had to reflash twrp from fastboot). If your PC see's your device after this step, skip to step 9, but my guess is, when you format data, the required files for MTP disappears with it.
2. Power off your device.
3. Put device into fastboot mode (start device by holding volume up + power)
4. Connect device to PC.
5. fastboot flash recovery modded_twrp.img
6. Disconnect device from computer and shut down phone.
7. Load recovery (start device by holding volume down + power)
8. Connect to PC
9. TWRP MTP should be working; transfer the recovery file, beta9, and super SU (if you want root) to your internal storage.
10. I usually disconnect my phone from my PC at this point.
11. Go to Install > sdcard > media folder (your files should be here).
12. Flash Beta 9 zip.
13. Reflash modded TWRP (click Install Image button and you should see your TWRP file).
14. Reboot to Recovery (I noticed that click on Reboot and Recovery freezes TWRP on me, so you can manually power down by holding power button down).
15. Swipe to accept modifications
16. If you don't need root, you're all done. The first boot takes like 5 min.
For some reason for root, it doesn't work if you try without freeing up some space in the system folder. What you can do is:
1. In TWRP > Mount > tick off System > head back out to main menu
18. Advanced > File Manager > > system folder > app folder > and delete some google apps (ie. calendar, gmail, chrome; should be enough; can be downloaded from play store later)
19. Flash SuperSU SR5.
20. Wipe Cache and Dalvik, reboot.
I've noticed that if you don't root, your device will be encrypted on first boot of beta 9 (which causes some issues in TWRP not being able to mount the /data partition and decryption passwords not working in TWRP.

Same problem here, **** broken OB9 update.
EDIT: For those with the same problem, download stock recovery from here, flash it using adb, boot into recovery (might say that installation of update failed, it did for me) and then reboot to system.
Now it booted successfully and says that I have Open Beta 9. TWRP and SuperSU installations worked just fine after that.

I used twrp-3.0.2-22 to reflash beta 9 all is well.
I have same problem with twrp-3.0.2-1.28. Just boot into bootloader and flash twrp-3.0.2-22.

Can I flash that twrp-3.0.2-22 after I'm already on beta 9?
Nevermind I saw that it encrypts on first boot. I'll just wait for root again until after the final comes out.

No need for clean installation like hw4ng3r said.
I'll copy my other post's edit here if someone needs it.

Got 145849 AnTuTu result with OB9. Might be able to get a better result if I were to clean install, but I've just dirty flashed every update since 3.2.5.

Very true.
I interpreted the OP's comment as:
1. Already on TWRP
2. Tried full wipe and install (all data lost anyways)

I've read that .22 TWRP doesn't have decryption issues of the /data partition like .28 has, but don't take my word for it. And the encryption happened to me when I flashed Beta9 from TWRP .28 and rebooted system without flashing Super SU.
The decryption of the /data partition in TWRP seems to be an issue if the file system is F2FS on Beta 8 and Beta 9. I haven't had any issues with EXT4.

Encryption issues on Nougat firmware

Hi guys,
just nowadays I installed OxygenOS Open Beta 10.
I was upgrading from Open Beta 7, but since I unlocked bootloader after doing that, we can say that I did a clean install (everyone should know that fastboot oem unlock erase all data).
However, I'm having troubles both with stock recovery and TWRP v3.0.2-1.28: pattern won't to be recognized.
If I disable pattern requiring at bootup, in recovery I need to type "a password" (that obviously is wrong in any case).
I tried to reinstall more times the firmware, also did factory reset both via stock/TWRP recovery and fastboot commands.
But nothing has changed.
System is working, but I can't access to recovery anyway.

You could try with other TWRP versions? Say 3.0.2-22

It's a known issue

Use twrp v3.0.2-1.19
Works with no issues, except a mouse pointer in the middle of the twrp. It does not interfere with anything, it is just there (a bug).

If you are on f2fs and encrypted, the blu spark kernel dev released a new recovery that supports f2fs decryption in TWRP. It may save you all the hassle. All you need to do is flash that updated recovery from fastboot and then try to decrypt. It should work fine.

All you have to do is wipe data partition. Reformat it as f2fs, all in TWRP and then reboot system and proceed with setup. Done!

Cannot find Open Beta 8 Recovery on the download link mentioned above. Looked else where but cannot locate.
Also I flashed recovery_OBT7.img (presumably Open Beta 9 recovery) and followed as mentioned above but DM Verity error does not vanish and TWRP also still asks for password.
Password I hope can be managed with the new modified TWRP mentioned below by @abhibnl but I am more concerned with the dm verity message not going...

It's not working, because modded TWRP from .18 to .23 are designed for Marshmallow community builds.

Probably it would be risolutive, however I want to stay on latest Community Build.
I can say that sideload won't work with Open Beta 10: it can be flashed only via recovery (both TWRP and stock).

Are you referring to this recovery?
Yeah, I would be in love both with you and the developer, if it works properly
Tomorrow I should try, I'll keep you updated :good:
UPDATE: I've always loved Magisk, since v7 (when I've started using it).
Magisk is the workaround for encryption: just today I've flashed it together with Open Beta 10.
Now encryption is disabled, so goodbye to recovery troubles.
However the issue can't be considered solved because of a stupid workaround, this is not the right approach: I will try @abhibnl solution (re-enable encryption, then install latest blu_spark recovery).
Thanks all for answering.

Yes i was referring to that recovery. 1 user has responded that it worked fine on his f2fs encrypted storage, so i believe it's worth trying. I am not on f2fs so i personally can't test it for you. But i would advise you to atleast give it a try. You never know when you by mistake boot right after a fresh stock rom install with stock kernel, and it will immediately encrypt your storage. So, you can't always just keep formatting internal memory. A proper TWRP recovery is indeed required for both ext4 and f2fs. All i am waiting for is updated kernel sources for recovery devs to work on.

For the many having issues, here's a step by step:
step by step install for OOS 4.0 and twrp-3.0.2-1.28-op3.img
Have OOS stock recovery installed on your phone. You must also have adb installed on your computer.
connect your phone to your computer via usb and open a dos command session on your computer.
On your phone, reboot into fastboot (bootloader).
From adb command on computer, type fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-1.28-op3.img.
First make a backup and copy it to a safe location.
Now wipe everything - Internal, system, data, cache.
Reboot to Recovery. This is the stock OOS recovery!
Go to install from USB and then enter sideload mode.
On your computer dos prompt, type adb sideload (path)OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_035_all_1612310359_e10cadfb2af7.zip
Allow the long and slow process to complete and reboot.
Upon reboot, it is encrypting the data partition as EMMC.
Upon bootup, enter setup and go through it quickly as you will have to enter it again so do not waste time configuring it.
Once setup is complete, reboot into fastboot.
From DOS command, enter adb and type command fastboot boot twrp-3.0.2-1.28-op3.img.
TWRP will boot up asking for encryption password. Hit cancel and then swipe to allow modifications.
Go into mount. Only the system and cache will appear. Back out and select WIPE.
select ADVANCED WIPE and data partition only.
Modify the data parition by selecting Repair or Change file system.
It will list the current mount point as emmc. Select Change File System.
Select F2FS and swipe.
This will wipe current data partition and reformat it.
Once you have done this, while in TWRP, select the ADVANCED button on the main menu.
Now select ADB SIDELOAD and swip to start sideload.
On your computer in ADB, type command adb sideload SR1-SuperSU-v2.79-SR1-20161221223537.zip.
Now reboot system and go through the usual setup and your done.

TWRP v11: the definitive solution

Xiaomi Max 3 stuck on boot after Unlock + TWRP Format Data

So here's what I did to cause my phone to get stuck on the logo screen:
1. Unlocked my phone using the Mi Unlock
2. Used ADB to install twrp-3.3.1-0-nitrogen
3. I couldn't mount my Data or SD Card folders due to encryption, so someone told me to use TWRP to format data, which I did. It didn't boot up after that.
I've tried the following fixes:
1. TWRP > Advanced Wipe > Cache / Data / Internal Storage / System
2. TWRP > Install > MIUI 11 V11.0.2.0.PEDCNXM
3. TWRP > Install > MIUI 11 V11.0.3.0.PEDCNXM
4. TWRP > Install > Magisk-v20.4
No luck, still stuck on boot. Anyone kind enough to please help?

I had the same problem when I backed up the global rom with OrangeFox and restarted the system without installing anything.
The following procedure worked for me.
User the latest version of TWRP 3.3.1 do not use OrangeFox
1. First you must remove the encryption, Wipe> Format Data, confirm by typing "yes"
2. Advanced Wipe and clean Dalvik, Cache, Data, System and Vendor.
3. Then proceed with the installation.
In my case I installed xiaomi.eu_multi_MIMAX3_V11.0.2.0.QEDCNXM_v11-10
Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot for the reply!
I somehow managed to get it working with OrangeFox, so I'm going to try it for awhile till it breaks. But I can't seem to pass the SafetyNet Check in Magisk, so I might have to your tips eventually.
What I did was:
1. Use the MI Flash tool + 11.03 CN Fastboot ROM to get out of the boot loop.
2. Loaded OrangeFox-R10.1-stable-nitrogen and Magisk-v20.4 on an SD Card
3. ADB + Fastboot to install twrp-3.3.1-0-nitrogen, then installed OrangeFox
4. Using OrangeFox, installed Magisk-v20.4

I have not yet rooted with magisk on xiaomi.eu so I have no way of giving an opinion on what may have gone wrong in your case.
But did you install the most current magisk from magisk.me and clear the cache?
maybe this video can help you. shows a Brazilian installing orangefox and rooting with magisk in the global rom and everything works, Magisk passes the SafetyNet test. https://youtu.be/O5bq1HMFREI?t=328

Question Cannot flash TWRP from Fastboot, TWRP reboot shows Slot A/B, dont know what to do

Ive already flashed a few phones, but this is the first time that Ive got CMD error "FAILED (remote: (recovery_a) No such partition)". So I booted twrp.img, falshed ArrowOS and TWRP from within TWRP and it said something about Slot A and B, which I dont understand ... some guide also said to Format Data, which I did, and then I just could boot into TWRP in Slot A, and no OS on Slot B, which rebooted me into Slot A. I couldnt find any info about this and I dont know what to do. Anybody knows how to properly flash TWRP and custom ROMs please ?

Start fresh by flashing stock MIUI rom through fastboot and proceed from there
1 Boot once into MIUI and reboot into fastboot
2 fastboot boot twrp.img (from platform tools folder)
3 Flash custom rom like ArrowsOS with inject twrp option checked
4 Reboot recovery
5 Format Data by typing "yes"
6 Reboot to system
7 Done

Follow the TWRP install instructions by fastboot boot TWRP.img
advanced, install TWRP
It should then reboot and TWRP will be installed
Then proceed as above by flashing a ROM e.g ArrowOS with TWRP inject.
Then reboot TWRP and wipe data

Use "fastboot boot TWRP.img" to temporarily boot TWRP.
You can install TWRP by using "Install to Ramdisk" inside TWRP and selecting TWRP.img

well Iam still confused about that Slot A/B thing, but since Ive probably bricked my phone, I flashed the fastboot ROM through MiFlasher and I havent tried flashing TWRP or custom ROM since, there are some things I really like about MIUI so Iam gonna see which ROM Iam gonna choose in the future

Slot A and B refer to Project Treble, where there are 2 separate partitions. 1 for OEM like Samsung and other for core Android OS. That way Google can update the OS partition with security updates without having to wait for Samsung to implement those security update into their version of Android, as was the case before Galaxy S9. Needless to say, this way security updates get pushed out way faster, because there is no need to wait an entire year (I'm looking at you Samsung) for OEM to finally implement it. Hope this clears things up for you.

there is a slight problem with this ... I cannot upload any file to the phone, because I have wiped Data, so there is no folder that I can access from the PC, so I can only sideload .zip files, and most of the .zip files just doesnt work for some reason, only ArrowOS, but not the PixelExtended, nor CrDroid ... I cannot even sideload TWRP.img to install it into ramdisk
EDIT: after sideloading ArrowOS and booting TWRP using "fastboot boot twrp.img", I can access internal storage, so I uploaded twrp.img into /sdcard/Download folder, installed it into ramdisk, rebooted to Recovery and now successfully flashing CrDroid ROM that I uploaded to /sdcard/Download

How did you install twrp? Did you flash the twrp to boot partition? If yes, you need to find out which system you had installed and then flash the suiting boot.img.
Background: In A/B partition scheme, recovery is part of boot.img. Boot.img needs to be patched by twrp. So normally you need to boot twrp by typing "fastboot boot twrp.img" and then, when twrp is booted, go to advanced and press "flash current twrp"

Thank you for ur kind reply, I have flashed the TWRP as u said & its OK..I'm heaving problem with Flashing EU Rom after deleting data I flashed the rom but it's stuck in the boothloop then entering TWRP showing SD memory "0"..plz tell me the process of flashing rom & Magisk. Thanks again.

Ok, you already deleted data. Try to format data via fastboot. Use "fastboot -w" and retry!

Maybe start one thing at a time.
Problem with twrp
Try flashing this Fastboot rom
Download the rom/extract it/open the folder /use first install.bat with the phone in Fastboot mode
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...13.0.5.0.SLDCNXM_v13-12-fastboot.zip/download
then install the TWRP and update the rom via OTA (do not put any security on the lock screen).
BOOT VERSION
Installation:
Phone in fastboot mode
Cmd:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Power shell
./fastboot boot twrp.img​
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP->reboot TWRP
If that doesn't work/see post https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...need-urgent-help-please.4491461/post-87424405
