yes it seems to not work at 1st on first boot! doesnt detect storage 0mb
but when i hit wipe/advanced wipe/data then
hit repair change file system then hit change file system
to ext2 then back ext2
it detects internal storage
but when i booted into android it wanted to encrypt data and wipe it.
so i manually wiped data in recovery then rebooted an bam it works
an it still detects my internal storage........yay thank you so much
it just doesnt detect my micro sd card

I'll look into trying to fix it but my SD card words so that's weird
Ok so I tried it on another friend of mines phone and his sd card and everything is working fine so I'm really confused why yours wouldn't work????
Me too I really don't understand it.
I'll keep looking into it for you...I wish other people would let me know how it's working on there device
I didn't realize people were still having issues with twrp on the tmo/Metro variant. Id have to double check with Aeorsyn but im pretty sure we posted one somewhere in this forum that works...at least for me...perfectly with the exception of the time being off every now and then. It flashes zip and image files, makes backups, restores, wipes, works with twrp themes, reads internal and external sd, and even usb via otg. I've been running it for a couple months now without issue. Is there something im missing that people are trying to do that I'm just blind too? Lol if anyone wants a link to the twrp I'm using just lemme know.

Twrp deletes stock rom
Maybe you can help me out, maybe im missing something. I have the g5 (hannah) MetroPCS variant. Everytime I flash TWRP it deletes my system. Ive tried 3 other TWRPs with no luck. One way or another I cannot boot, (bad key). Then I reflash my stock rom and try again. Ive tried with and without allowing system modifications with no avail. However when I first flash and boot into recovery there is a screen asking to decrypt. it asks to enter a password but the screen doesnt respond to touch for the pattern dots. Does that decrypting need to happen for TWRP to work correctly? Thanks

I used Sir's (THANKS!) twrp and just booted it without flashing,(worked great!) it boots fine but asks for unlock pattern and doesn't accept the one I have set, (I'm guessing this is where decrypt.zip comes into play, but unsure), I hit cancel and KEPT READ ONLY , then made individual backups of boot + system + system.image
I also get the Bad key however I believe this is normal after unlocking the bootloader.. If you wait a bit it should still eventually boot.. I'd like to try to make a boot animation..

turns out its not deleting the rom. its a problem with the boot image or encryption . When i first boot into twrp i cannot see internal storage. if i change my partition from ext4 then back to ext2 it shows up and the decrypt.zip is successful. however when i reboot phone it hangs at motorola screen. I then went back to fastboot and flashed stock boot.img and the phone almost booted up. I got hung at decryption unsuccessful perform factory reset. I dont know why this is so complicated any suggestions.
kinda sucks i go in for surgery and wake up and find a new twrp for hannah good luck ill be deleting my guide instead of working on twrp bye

Thanks bro I got a few gsi ROMs to boot up and work also to I'll post a thread soon on which ones I got working so there's more custom ROMs that work

I know I can get my device back, I'm just not sure how. I successfully rooted using CASUAL, no problems there. Got the normal root applications installed, did the Clockwork backup, everything was great.
I then decided to try a custom ROM - the Cyanogen 10.1. It downloaded fine, and I selected to also install Google Apps, then it rebooted and the Cyanogen boot screen with the spinning circle came up. However, this lasted way longer than I thought it should, so I looked it up, and what I got from the research is that I had the wrong gapps on there.
So, I followed the instructions in this thread (same problem as me), and wiped the system. However, I believe I used the wrong list item, and now everything I had is gone. I can't boot from recovery because it doesn't exist, and when booting into CM I just get the same error message that setup has stopped working. I thought maybe I could put a new ROM on the sd card or phone harddrive and boot from that, but both are inaccessible through USB on my Mac.
I can get it into ODIN mode (where it says "Downloading... Do not turn off target!"), which I'm thinking is what I want, and I have Heimdall installed and it runs and recognizes my device, but I cannot for the life of me find a tar.gz file to use.
If anyone can offer any sort of help, I would super appreciate it.

Your recovery shouldn't be affected by a wipe (unless you flashed something over it) as ROMs don't flash recovery, therefor vol up + home + power should get you in it. If you success to, You should be able to mount through recovery.
As for Heimdall, it just got S3 support (last week I believe), therefor it might not be easy to find a stock file for it. That being said, if you have access to any Windows pc, that'd be the easiest solution here (using Odin).
Yes, I can still get into the recovery menu, but when I use "backup and restore>restore" it says No files found. Is there anything I can do to just get a working OS running? Or am I just doing it totally wrong, I'm new to the rooting stuff. The Windows computer will be my last resort haha.

Windows pc is definitely the easiest option here but you try mounting your SD from recovery, redownload the ROM and Gapps you wanna use, put them on your device and flash them after a factory reset.
If you wiped your SD card, it's normal that you don't have a backup anymore.

It's aaaliiiiiiive! Grabbed an extra micro SD I had, threw Cyanogen 10.1.0 RC4 on it, and installed it just fine. Now updating to RC5. My only question now is how to get Google Apps on there. Does this need to be done beforehand, or can it be done after?

You usually flash the Gapps right after flashing the ROM, before rebooting.
P.S.: fully reading the instructions helps before flashing

also one thing you need to know
First boot after you flash will always take longer than normal. After that, it's fine
I've been looking for answers but nothing has been working. I went to the twrp site but they basically say search XDA. I have been! No answers on the google+ communities so I'm starting my thread.
Basically I've reflashed the recovery using flashify, using both older and newer releases. My phone reboots randomly so I figured I'd flash a new ROM but nope, more headaches. It gets stuck on the logo screen before actually getting into the recovery area where I can wipe & flash stuff. Any help? Obviously I'm using a G3 still... Umm if more info is needed let me know.
HEEEELLLLPPPPP MEEEEEEEE
not trying to be captain obvious
It may sound silly but can you verify 1) which version of TWRP is currently on your phone 2) redownload that version 3) reinstall that from within the regular phone environment? This might repair whatever damage may have been done that is causing the partial boot into recovery.
Best of luck,

Right now it's 3.0.2.0_D851 but um yea I can re download it. And what do you mean the regular phone environment? Like the twrp app manager or through my PC?
Disable adaptative storage if you have it enabled, under Storage & USB > External Storage > Format to Portable Storage. You will lose all your data, so back everything up first.
Started having the same issue, unable to boot to recovery past it's splash screen (same version as mentioned above). So wiping the external card fixes this? Anyone know why this happened in the first place? I have 20 GB of music on my card ,was hoping to avoid having to move that off & back on if possible. I don't find anywhere to disable adaptive storage under Storage, just to wipe & set as portable.
Can I set it back as it was after this fix?
UPDATE: I just turned off phone pulled SD card & it now can get into TWRP. Guess I'll just need to to that from now on to avoid wiping my card.
I picked up a sprint htc one m9 today. unfortunately no stock OS and no SD CARD with backup either. I booted into twrp but i can not do anything. everything fails. i tried to flash a rom and its a no go. I am stuck and have no idea what to try after looking for hours.
I have no OS
I can boot into twrp
twrp does not allow me to do anything FAILS on every operation.

Foremost: ugh. Sorry man - that sucks.
So it sounds like your best option would be to get an sd card and apply a RUU from there. Flippy498's Google Sheet is a great resource for where to get them and how to use them.
You might be able to use the Windows-executable RUU directly from Sprint. I'm pretty sure you'd need to be in download mode when you ran it though. It's not as straightforward as the sd card method, but they're usually my first fallback.
Keep in mind that both of these options are destructive - your phone will be brought to a factory state (stock firmware, recovery) and anything on the phone's internal memory will be wiped.
It might be worth exploring why TWRP keeps failing. If we could solve that, you could install the ROM of your choice and not worry about RUUs. But that's definitely more work and probably not necessary if you're not trying to save anything. Once the RUU has been successfully applied, you can just unlock the bootloader anew, install TWRP, and do whatever you want from there.
Thanks a ton that fixed it!

Hey guys,
I think I'm a little bit in trouble: I just got a OP3 and wanted to root it as I'm used to it from the OPO.
But there were problems because of Force Encyption... After a few trys and flashs, I flashed Stock OOS (
OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_013_all_1608061823_765c081a5c8e4dad.zip
) from TWRP and after rebooting...
THE SCREEN IS YELLOW AND FULL OF PIXELS (like an olt TV).
You can feel it works from vibrations but you can't see what's going on... I tried this for unbricking but no success.
I think my phone's display drivers might be broken but idk.
Does anyone maybe know what to do here?

Which TWRP are you using? Try using the latest from eng.stk's (Blue Spark).
If you want MM, the more stable and improved version is 3.2.8. What you downloaded is 3.2.4. So, download 3.2.8 and boot into recovery, wipe system, dalvik cache, cache and data including internal storage (you will lose all your files including photos, videos etc). Boot the phone into the bootloader mode and push the ROM to the phone and flash it from recovery or flash the ROM from PC using adb commands. Flash TWRP again and boot into recovery and if ok, boot into system. If everything is ok, you can flash SuperSU/Magisk, if you need root. A couple of wipes of both the caches in between may also be done.
If this doesn't sort out the issue, use Method 2 from the Mega Unbrick Guide in XDA and follow every instruction scrupulously, especially relating to drivers.
If even this fails, it is a hardware issue.
EDIT: I see that Puddi Puddin beat me to it.

What exactly did you flash other than OOS and recovery? Why did you need a few flashes? You flashed SuperSU or Magisk? Root still works on an encrypted system so not understanding some things from your post

First I flashed newest TWRP and Paranoid Android but it wasn't as good as expected and so I flashed back to OOS (_008 I think) and everything worked but when I wanted to flash Magisk (because SafetyNet) via TWRP I couldn't because the phone wanted a pattern to unlock encryption.
I read that it would be the same as I used to unlock my phone (btw the only 1 I use) but it didn't work...
Before I found a guide with the right order to remove the encryption I tried different ways by myself (that's because I flashed a few times) (Toolkit, "Fastboot format userdata", TWRP format) but nothing removed it.
Then I wanted to follow that guide but meanwhile there was no OS at all and img Install via fastboot didn't work but I managed to get the newest stable OOS (_16 I think) on the phone, installed it with TWRP aaaaaand...
YELLOW-ORANGEish PIXEL SCREEN
fastboot and everything works - I just can't see what's going on

I already asked you to use the TWRP from eng.stk
The official 3.1.1-2 works well with OOS but is cranky with custom ROMS. eng.stk's works both with OOS and custom ROMs.

I can give it a try later (and in the future when everything works again) but I do not think (at least I can't imagine) that the problem I have comes from recovery.
I know the reason!
I found other people who also had a static screen and they said they could fix it by pressing the screen back on its contacts...
I did so and it worked!... A bit... For a few minutes...
So the static definitely wasn't the result of rooting and stuff but the repair company's fault.
I hope they accept their mistake and fix it. Thx for everyone here trying to hel me!

[after Mega Unbrick Method 2 finally worked (I put the stock zip in the tool's folder)]
This morning I restarted the phone just because and I could see what was going on on the phone - but the display was still crazy with yellow tint and colorful stripes etc.). After setup it asked me to download & install newest stock rom; I did and after reboot everything was fine again....
Don't know what happened here but it seems to work again.
hi there!
I previously had colors 2.1.5.i version installed in my Oppo find7a. I was quite happy for quite a long time but lately I had many issues .SIM card stop working and keep on having continuous crashes when running apps so I uninstalled and reinstalled colors again and again. Finally I went back to the factory setting version and rooted the phone but now I am having issues with more crashes, continuous app logout and login and lack storage (it does not allow me installing many apps even if i keep on uninstalling apps and moving them to the SD).
Could you recommend me the best solution and best Colors version or even a different ROM for oppo find7a so I do not have any of these issues anymore?
Thanks in advance!

I was quite happy for quite a long time but lately I had many issues .SIM card stop working and keep on having continuous crashes when running apps so I uninstalled and reinstalled colors again and again. Finally I went back to the factory setting version and rooted the phone but now I am having issues with more crashes, continuous app logout and login and lack storage (it does not allow me installing many apps even if i keep on uninstalling apps and moving them to the SD).
Could you recommend me the best solution and best Colors version or even a different ROM for oppo find7a so I do not have any of these issues anymore?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for your help. Yes I would appreciate a reliable source for the lvm zip file. I guess the same procedure would work for lineage ROM? I tried to instal lineage before but it failed so maybe that was the reason. Cheers!

would it work for find7a also?
full wipe means .. first, factory reset (data, cache and Dalvik), then system and Dalvik cache or all at once? Just wanna make sure all works fine this time cos takes quite a lot of time the whole process that I've done already a few times
Thanks a lot!

First make a full backup to your sdcard of your current OS so your never left out, I just always wipe everything but raw SD and one other raw partition(data or something) and also not the sdcard I wipe everything apart from those 3, make sure before you make a backup the location is your sdcard, this is a step by step guide.
FIRST INSTALL ALL FHE THE ZIPPS I MENTIONED BEFORE AND PLACE THEM ON YOUR SDCARD
1. Boot into recovery
2. Make full backup to sdcard (this takes about half an hour) after you finished the backup just check if it worked, photos video's and music are not included only the apps your system and all the data
3. wipe everything apart from the aforementioned partitions
4. Flash the setup lvm zip
5. Reboot recovery
6. Flash nameless rom zip
7. Flash opengapps 7.1 arm micro/Pico
8. Reboot phone

unfortunately all went bad! nothing worked this time!
everything failed this time so I had to go back to colors version 2.1.5i and switch partitions again to avoid storage issues.
Failing message was something like this: "storage: can't find table partition". I could not even root this time. They only thing I did not do was "wipe data, internal and sd card", the rest I wiped first, then it did not allow me to go any further.
Let's see for how long this solution works. I am starting to think that this issue has to do with programmed obsolescence rather than ROMS issues.
Oppo support have ignored me so far. I sent a couples of messages a couple of weeks ago and no answer yet. Maybe they do not speak english cos I could not find any english community. They are mostly asian http://community.oppo.com/id/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5645&extra=&page=1
Do you have any other suggestion? I am tempted to buy another phone if turns to be headache again
Cheers and thanks a lot!

I've got a folder on gdrive https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BxOXFnbm6PEGLXNxU1A0dzktTFU
It has a both a spectrum 1.3 zip (download this to your sdcard) and a recovery tool in it, you need to install it on your PC and connect your phone in fastboot then follow the on screen instructions and install the stock color OS recovery when your there try to install the spectrum zip, this has worked for me in the past, the problem with Oppo support is that they probably won't help you because your bootloader is unlocked.

hi there! I was giving more time to give you a summary.
Well! it was good while it lasted. Only 24 hours I enjoyed Spectrum. After that first warning message was "google services stopped", then slowly phone started going slower and slower till finally cant start anymore. Now if i restart, it remains at "oppo logo screen". I had the feeling that this was going to happen at some moment but caught me unattended. Furthermore, while I was trying to go back to recovery mode, though I left all files in internal and a copy at external memory, just in case, now at recovery mode cant find any of these files. Meaning I am really stuck at this point and I can't go any further since internal and external memory cant be accessed in recovery mode to reinstall. Moreover, computer cant transfer files to internal or external cos cant initiate well and does not allow me transfering.
I need to find how to make internal or external memory recognised by my computer so that i can transfer files and recover again or a way to read those hidden directories.. any suggestions? any option from the recovery installer? I tried option 3 to install openrecovery twrp but cant find .zip files and computer still cant transfer. This is really killing me :S

Okay I have one last suggestion, use an adapter from USB to micro SD of from SD to micro SD (if your PC supports that) if that also doesn't work lock your bootloader and send it to Oppo I just don't know any other options ?

I just wipe data and cache and got lucky to enter some sort of Spectrum version with no access to storage at all but some miracle internal memory inside (2-3G) that I can not access or see at all. It's working for a few apps only cos complaint when i tried the ones I had before. I think Ill keep it as a back up phone and tomorrow i decided to buy some not very expensive phone (150-200 euros) to have my life back and maybe i buy a better phone (maybe Oppo) in my next trip to Asia. I really appreciate your super help. Hope one day I can treat you for a beer
