Hey all,
So, my smart self was attempting to flash Marshmallow 6.0 from 4.3 (rooted)...I did the same thing that was here on this THREAD and now my tab can only go into TWRP, but there's no OS installed because I wiped (and didn't make a darn backup....), but there are a few differences from the thread I referred to:
- I can get into my Bootloader
- I can get into TWRP
- I have the current TWRP 2.8.7
- I've tried the Nexus Toolkit from HERE, my device serial is recognized, but it states that I'm offline
- Because I'm offline, I can't push any files to my device through the tool
- When I'm in TWRP, my computer will recognize my tablet and I can actually get into folders and what not, but I can't copy/paste any files to flash within TWRP and I get an error
- Anytime I power down or reboot within TWRP, it tells me that I have No OS installed
- I can't use ADB (as far as I know) because my device shows that it's offline
Is there any hope that I can recover even back to 4.3?
Any guidance would really be appreciated. I have to step away because I'm frustrated and am angry at myself that I didn't make a nandroid.
Thanks in advance.

Are you using stock rom? Because if you are, I wouldn't even try. What with the widespread knowledge that stock might brick, some people insist on it. Otherwise, if you can get to the bootloader:
(1) Make sure it's unlocked (if you're not familiar, connect tab to PC, make sure fastboot works, then enter "fastboot oem unlocked" without the quotes then follow instructions on your tab);
(2) Flash bootloader 4.05 if you haven't already;
(3) Get a USB OTG thumb drive (you might need an OTG adapter for this); and download a Marshmallow-based custom rom in the Android Development section;
(4) Get into TWRP and mount USB OTG. You should see all the files on your thumb drive;
(5) Copy all data you care about to your PC;
(6) Wipe everything except USB OTG twice. Then go to Format and do it twice too. If yours is 32GB, it will take a while (30 Mins average depending on how much data);
(7) Flash rom, then Gapps.
You should be able to boot after that. Good luck.

Thanks for this! A few questions...
- Before I wiped my OS, I was running the Smooth ROM. Does this make a difference? - Regarding fastboot, how do I get into it? I can't use adb because it lists my tablet as Offline when I type in "adb devices"...
- My lock icon is unlocked at the Google screen, but it stops there since I currently have no OS
- Would I be able to skip to your Step 4 just use the USB OTG and mount the original 4.3 OS through TWRP?
- Should I just flash the OEM 4.3? Or should I load the Smooth ROM or whatever other ROM instead of the OEM 4.3?
Thanks for your continued help!

It shouldn't make a difference what rom you flash now so long as you wipe and format everything inside TWRP. But you must make sure you have bootloader 4.05. 4.02 will not allow you to flash LL or MM successfully, and the system does not upgrade on its own no matter what rom you're flashing now.
Since you said you couldn't get TWRP to copy anything, I suggested that you use a thumb drive. Basically, if you turn the tab totally off, hold power + volume down for a few seconds, it should take you to the fastboot page (pic). Look to see what bootloader version you have there.
From here, you can basically flash anything. I recommended that you wipe and format first with TWRP because it happened to me a few times when for some reason, wiping alone still left some residual data that interfered with flashing newer roms.
Stay away from anything stock for the moment. God knows it has bricked more than a few devices. Download SkipsoftToolKit and flash from the fastboot page if you want an automated process. It has worked wonderfully in my experience. Ask if you have more questions. Have fun.

This is really helpful...I think I'm almost there.
I'm on a super old Bootloader (see attachment) so I'll need to update. I downloaded the update from this XDA Thread
More questions:
- Would I be able to push the 4.05 bootloader update and custom whatever Marshmallow ROM via the toolkit instead of from a USB OTG?
- If I was rooted on 4.3, am I still rooted so that I would be able to flash the custom ROM? I don't want to risk doing further damage, lol.
- I'm not home at the moment, so I can't test this out -- I'm thinking I couldn't put anything into my tablet last night because it was running TWRP and I didn't have it on the Fastboot screen. Would being in the Fastboot screen possibly allow me to copy/paste the zip files into my tablet?
- If there's nothing I need to copy from the tablet, would I still need the USB OTG? Or could I just use the Toolkit to push everything into my tablet and flash via TWRP?
Based on your answers to the above would this be the correct order:
1. Push 4.05 bootloader update and custom ROM via toolkit to my tablet
2. Flash 4.05 bootloader update within TWRP
3. *Per your earlier advice* Wipe everything except USB OTG twice. Is this cache, dalvik, system, and data? Or literally there's an option for "wipe everything" (I don't remember what I saw)?
4. Then go to Format and do it twice, too. I have a 32GB, so I'm expecting it to take awhile for the format
5. Flash ROM, then Gapps. I don't have any apps I need to put back so much as I need an OS to load, so I can add later.
Thanks again for everything!
EDIT:
Okay, so I came home and was able to use the Toolkit to recognize the device in fastboot mode. However, I wasn't able to push anything into the phone because the Toolkit said that I needed to be booted into Android.
The last thing I saw when I was in TWRP poking around was that I saw that I could install .zip files from USB OTG. Are either of these alright for me to connect my flash drive to and be recognized inside TWRP?

If you're comfortable using the ToolKit, you don't need an OTG cable. Connect your tab to PC, fire up ToolKit, complete all the prelim BS, then flash the bootloader from TK. Do not use TWRP for this. To do this, open the ToolKit folder in drive C:, locate the folder therein for zips, place the zip files (4.05 bootloader; TWRP; or custom roms) in there, and start to install. I am talking off the top of my head. But give me a few minutes to check the Kit again, and I'll give specific instructions. Bear with me, as I'm on Linux at the moment and therefore cannot start ToolKit (which is in Windows).
Things to do in order:
1. Download bootloader 4.05 (flashable zip HERE); and custom rom of your choice (zip format)
2. Locate the Unified Android ToolKit on drive C: on your PC and open it;
3. Locate the folder “put zip file to sideload here” → “Nexus 7 2013” then paste
bootloader zip and Rom zip in there;
4. Fire up Toolkit with tab connected; complete all the prelim questions;
5. Follow all the steps to install TWR 2870 (pic 8, choice 6);
6. Go to TWRP, wipe and format.
7. Go back to TWRP main page → “Advanced” → “ADB sideload”;
8 Go to ToolKit (pic 8) enter choice 16 (Look at the pics that follow for the correct choices) to
sideload Bootloader;
9. Flash Bootloader.
10. Go back to TWRP main page → Reboot → Bootloader. Once there check bootloader version 4.05;
11. Get into TWRP to sideload Rom; flash it.

Wow, this is awesome. Thank you so much.
I had already flashed TWRP 2870 before I wiped the OS, but I figured I'd try again using the Toolkit, but I got an error. I stopped here just in case.
Earlier, I tried flashing the zip for the bootloader the same way you just instructed, but my serial number turned into question marks?
Please see attachments. My pics are on the right side of the comparisons and I blacked out some of my serial number just in case for the TWRP pic.
Thanks again for the continued support!

Ok. One step at a time. Since you don't have an OS installed, ToolKit cannot complete the process of sideloading because it normally would have to use ADB from within the OS (which is absent) to restart the tab into recovery mode (TWRP). But if you're already in sideload mode within TWRP, it would detect it and transfer the file over to your tab. Let's go back.
(1) Fire up ToolKit (TK), go to sideload step, type the file name and stop. Get to fastboot page on your tab. Go back to TK and hit enter. TK should detect fastboot mode, download TWRP 2.7.1.1, take the tab into TWRP, tell you to go to sideload mode. Thereafter, it should detect this mode and transfer the file over. Then TWRP would flash the bootloader 4.05 automatically. If successful, sideload the rom the same way to flash it. Then upgrade TWRP back to 2870 with TK.
(2) Failing the above (because TWRP somehow doesn't function correctly), put the tab in fastboot mode, go to TK and follow the steps to flash TWRP anew. TK should detect fastboot and begin to flash the recovery. That done, go back and restart (1) above.
(3) If that still doesn't work, we have to resort to fastboot.exe and do it by command lines. But that's far ahead. Try the above first. We'll cross that bridge if we get to it.
I can send you an automated package that would upgrade the bootloader to 4.04 that I downloaded a year ago from Scott's Roms (thanks to him). It's good enough for Lollipop 5.1. The file is about 4MB and I'm not sure how we can do this through XDA. But if we ever get there, I'm certain we'll find a way. And smile, it's only a lousy tab.

Let me just say, I'm so thankful for your help in all of this. Seriously. Thank you.
I kept on tinkering with the ToolKit and Fastboot kept on stopping everytime I switched to TWRP. I got to the point where TWRP showed 2.7.1 but the ADB Sideload kept getting stuck at the "Starting Sideload" prompt.
I went out and bought a $3 OTB USG cable and figured I'd give it a go since this sounded easier (theoretically). At first, I couldn't understand why the OTG wasn't recognized within TWRP. Then, I realized I needed to mount it within TWRP.
Once it mounted, I wiped and flashed the 4.05 bootloader zip. Success.
I went back into the Fastboot screen to verify 4.05. Success.
Went back into TWRP 2.8.7 and flashed a 6.0 ROM from these boards. Success.
Flashed Gapps. Success.
Rebooted. I'm now running a custom Marshmallow ROM and it runs so smoothly now.
Seriously. Thank you.

I'm glad you got it working again. Sorry you had to make a trip to the store. You should've waited for KT to switch the tab to TWRP 2711 for you. But it was not a waste of time anyway.
Tried to flash flash ob 10, but twrp said the zip was corrupted. I could not boot into the system anymore.
The problem is the system partition is ok ( verified from twrp file manager), but every time I choose reboot system, it will go back to twrp. I tried to re-flash ob 9, but twrp again reported another error. Log is attached. How should I solve the problem?
By the way, I wipe all data, including storage in twrp by mistake. Is there any way to recover the data? I am traveling now, just got several hundred pictures.:crying::crying: It seems to be impossible to do it on a computer in MTP mode, but I could not boot into the system neither.
Download the modded twrp from here and install it. Use it to flash community builds and all other roms from now on.
About the file recovering part, I wouldn't know.
You need to flash stock recovery, ADB sideload the official Open Beta, and boot into ROM.
By any chance, did you trigger an OTA update with TWRP installed?

I am always using the modified one. I am encountering a weird error.
The message is like
'E: unknown command [log]
........
script succeeded: result was [1.000000]'.
Update: flashing stock recovery seems to be effective ( of course, twrp does not exist anymore ).

Unknown command is a known and harmless issue on all 7.x.x roms. Just ignore it and go ahead.
And I think I saw 3.0.2-1 twrp version in your log.

Open Beta builds can be flashed via modded twrp, no need to use stock recovery and adb sideloading. Plus even if he installed an OTA update, it won't get installed on twrp ~ and no harm will be done.
After you flash any rom, reflash recovery. Reboot to RECOVERY & then to system.
The red message it's on almoust every Nugat rom. And it's about some log .

He said he could only boot into twrp. That occurs (reboot to system will take it back to twrp over and over) only if someone tried an OTA update with twrp.
I don't think this is the case for you, but if you tried the other suggestions don't work try the below. I had a similar issue and found that my recovery partition was corrupted. However, an additional symptom I had was that my TWRP would hang completely when selecting reboot after any successful flash. I think modded TWRP does not like internal storage wipe from within TWRP (rather than through fastboot format userdata).
Boot to fastboot
Fastboot erase recovery
Fastboot flash recovery filename.img
Boot to recovery and flash your desired ROM+supersu which you can sideload via MTP (drag and drop from Windows) or adb push C:\SourceLocation\filename.zip /sdcard
I recommend ADB push over MTP.
Had the exact same problem as op, after some issues i was forced to use the unbrick method to get phone back as it wasn't even booting. Now im using beta 10 perfectly.
Did you manage to fix it? I have the same probem.
Hello everyone!
My oneplus3 is actually running no OS and I'm having a boot loop.
I will try to explain what happened to me with the most details I can.
Before I ****ed everything up, I think I was running OxygenOS 3.28, not really sure about it but im 100% sure it was below 4.0, and it was rooted with TWRP 3.0.2 installed.
1) Today I had a pop up saying OxygenOS 4.0.2 was available (the official one that pops on the screen on boot) "Yay so coooool Nougat!"
1.1) I downloaded it, 1.4Go, then I pressed install
1.2) TWRP showed up, I didn't know what to do and that's where I ****ed up, I set my phone "factory new" in TWRP.
1.3) Phone restarted fresh new, I thought I had 4.0.2 but naaaaah would've been too easy so the official pop up showed again, I was still 3.28 I think.
1.4) Downloaded it once more, TWRP opened again, this time i was looking for the update i just downloaded in the "install" section. I browsed for quite a while and couldn't find it.
1.5) Master ****-up here: I tried to restore a backup. Then the bootloop happened. The black screen with "Oneplus" written in white. I was able to go back in TWRP by pressing power + volume down
1.6) Tried every kind of restore unsuccessfully, and tried ADB but it wouldn't load. Also TWRP said that I was running no OS when I wanted to turn off my phone for example.
2) I downloaded 4.0.2 from one plus website on my mac, and i flashed the official recovery instead of TWRP.
2.1) Transferred the update from my mac to my PC (seems important to me) and installed ADB & everything on both PC/O+3.
2.2) so adb worked in forceboot, i've been able to flash official recovery, tried once more to wipe & everything, but clearly I have no OS now, as TWRP said.
2.3) so i had the update in a folder (not a zip, probably due to the download being done from a mac), I made it a .ZIP with winrar, but "adb sideload update.zip" crashed at 0% everytime
2.4) looked at the archive then i noticed it was first a folder "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883" then inside it i had the content like "boot.img" & everything. So i zipped it again but without that first folder because I thought it was the problem, but it kept on crashing 0%.
2.5) restarted my PC, looked on several forums, but i couldn't find any fix. Now adb can't even open update.zip anymore, it fails even before 0%.. I tried naming it .zip.zip, keeping the name "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip", using a third party app to allow more RAM to the cmd app...
I've been trying hard for 4 hours but I still have a O+3 without any OS... My last idea is downloading "OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip" from my PC so it downloads it directly .zip unlike on my mac...
I hope I said everything, sorry for the long post but i'm desperate.. thanks for your attention,
Valentin

Thank you for answering! unfortunately i've already tried that and my problem occurs when i try to sideload the update from adb recovery... "couldn't load 'update.zip'"
I dont really know what to do now because I think my only option here is to load the OS through adb as I can't boot my phone to get the update zip inside a specified folder to load it from internal storage.
Try to install the new official TWRP version i think it is 3.0.3-0 through fastboot. Boot up TWRP, wipe every partiton and copy the update.zip onto the phone. You can copy it by connecting it normaly via USB(like you would do in OOS) and install the zip file afterwards.

install stock recovery and then try installing official OS. Or install modded twrp 3.0.2-1.28 and then try installing Freedom OS 2.3 via sideload or through internal storage.

Stop fiddling with the ROM. Download the ROM afresh directly to your Windows PC/laptop. Check the md5. Then start experimenting with the other suggestions but don't again meddle with the ROM!

I read your post again and here are a few things:
* Don't update Stock OOS via "System updates" in Settings if you are rooted and have TWRP
* Back up your data before updating, wiping or doing something with your phone.
* For the ADB error, see the FAQ #17 in the guide I provided.
Now, try this:
Flash TWRP via fastboot > boot to TWRP > connect your phone to your PC and copy the full Stock OOS v4.0.2 OTA to your phone > reboot to fastboot and flash Stock Recovery.
It didn't touch the internal storage. So, try to install from internal storage when you are in Stock Recovery.
Let me know if it worked.
hi,
my oneplus 3 has been rote since i got it (i bought it on launch day) but since i updated it to the beta 19, my phone is no longer rooted : when i put the phone in fastboot it says that my bootloader it unlocked but all the apps who requier root are saying that the phne is not rooted and i cant get twrp to work. i tryied with the official app on my phone and with a program called "tool all in one" (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...ol-tool-one-driversunlocktwrpfactory-t3398993) and when i flash twrp from the program, i can boot into twrp but then i can't access my files and after i boot the phone, i can no longer boot to twrp
does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve me wiping the phone?
You loose root after updating. Try installing twrp again and then rooting it. Use the toolkit for oneplus 3. Simplifies the process
what do you mean by "then rooting it" ?
the program i use does the same thing as the toolkit and when i install twrp, as i said, it can boot on twrp one time and in twrp i can't access my files and after i boot the phone i can't get back to twrp ,i get the stock recovery
Unless your ROM has built-in root, after flashing TWRP, you have to flash SuperSU or Magisk to obtain root. Mere flashing of TWRP will not give you root.
I know but i can't get to the folder when the magisk file is : when in boot into twrp i cant see my files
Few details... it's quite difficult to help you.
What's the root method? Magisk, SuperSU or Kingroot? Which version?
Ps TWRP recovery is not depending by root, you just need to unlock bootloader (surely it's already unlocked) and flash the same recovery, from PC, via the command "fastboot flash recovery filename.img".
Now enter in TWRP:
1) Wipe /system and /cache;
2) Flash another time Open Beta 19;
3) Flash Magisk or SuperSU (be sure to have latest release);
4) Move TWRP img file from computer to device, then flash it another time (because firmware provides the OOS stock recovery);
5) Reboot and wait 5-10 minutes, because of cache rebuilding.
Tell me if you solve
I am using magisk
Yes my bootloader is unlocked
My problem is that when i flash twrp i cant access my files so i don't want to wipe system if i cant reflash something after
I think that I'll wait for the next update, maybe then it will work
But thank you for your help
Which version of TWRP do you have? Try eng.stk's latest version.
I tryied 3.1.1-2
The eng.stk is not available anymore
Your phone is encrypted, so you have to format data ( but your internal storage wiped by formating data, so back it up ,then only twrp read files in your storage)and flash custom kernel then boot restore backup .
how do you know that my phone is encrypted? i never encrypted it
i use titanium backup so i can't back my phone up until i get rot back
Whenever you flash stock ROM it encrypt if you boot into system directly . So twrp could not read internal storage. Whenever you flash stock ROM you must flash custom kernel or any other method to avoid encryption. This is happened to me and what I'd done is flash custom kernel before boot into rom
To save your data try this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/unencrypt-oxygenos-loosing-data-t3412228
Who said that? Check this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads
Edit: If you want to save items in internal storage, you can use ADB commands instead of TWRP. You can also simply copy and paste if your PC recognises the internal storage of your phone.
I succeeded but i had to clean everything and use the last backup i made a week ago
Thank you all for your help
Hi,
Everytime I try to OTA update de weekly rom, I get the message that says that my memory is encrypted and directs me to recovery.
In recovery when I select the ROM, it returns ERROR 7, I know that it is related with 2 command lines in the updater script.
My question is, how can I fix this problems so I can normally OTA update?
Xiaomi MI 9 SE
TWRP 3.5.0_9-0
xiaomi.eu weekly (it happens in all versions)
Thanks

You're right, I think this is a generic problem, that's why I've not specified the model.

Ahh I see now,some phones are built with a custom recovery failsafe so updating straight from the phone won't work
Youre going to have to download the update file to the phone (usually ota.zip)
copy it to pc
Unzip it and check the code (installscript.sh, build.prop... all of them(use Notepad++)) and remove recovery what nots (mine had expect recoveryxa84883,and some other recovery partition nonsense) - this is so you dont lose your twrp
compress all the files and name the zip (anything you want)
copy the zip to your adb fastboot folder
Then make sure usb debugging is enabled and
on pc type in adb: adb reboot recovery
after twrp open select the sideload option and use the method of flashing update then your update will flash easy
or
flash your stock firmware recovery image from extsdcard (external sd card) recovery.img as recovery in twrp (surely you know how to tranfer files from pc to microsddard ..)
reboot to system when done and do normal update should work fine
then flash twrp image from pc flashing software into recovery

Thanks for your reply.
Your first method is what I have to do to update manually, delete the model verification in updater-script. But I have to do this every time I want to update. How can this prevent from happening next times?
The second method, I haven't understood, have to flash stock recovery every time I want to update?
My point is to prevent this from happening, I want to OTA update normally, without having to do this procedures every time.
Regards

Yes
and the second method, yes, flash stock recovery to OTA update (it'll think that everthing is fine)
you can keep stock update if dont need twrp anymore
to update normally you would have to modify your stock recovery to have an intergrated twrp
basically making "stock twrp recovery" mod
Or in the same manner add a partition or boot option for twrp in boot image in maybe boot to [normal, recovery, bootloader"fastboot", and twrp]
with enough dedication it is definitely possible

So this is not fixable, keep TWRP and have OTA update?

Yes but now that you mention if you could edit the twrp recovery_id to match that of the stock recovery ,it might work because the system/ ota file calls for a specific recovery_id
