Bootloop after flashing TWRP, CM13

I'm (or rather, was) on CM13 nightly, today I downloaded TWRP through Flashify and flashed it, previously I was using Philz Touch, now I have a bootloop. I just had a bootloop a few days ago and had to install everything over again, and I really don't feel like doing it again. What can I do?

Can you enter the recovery mode? And if so I would recommend reflashing everything, that usually helps xD

Yes I can, but I reeeeeally don't feel like going back to stock AGAIN, I was thinking maybe flashing CyanogenMod Recovery would help fix the issue since TWRP is apparently not compatible with Marshmallow, the problem is I can't get my PC to recognize my phone in fastboot mode therefore I can't flash the new recovery. Any ideas?

Why didn't you backup your data? Always backup your data! Moreover, put the image to flash on your sd card

Alright, I can do that. How do I flash it after it's on my SD?

Wipe as usual, then in TWRP go to mount and choose external_sd, after that navigate up until you find the folder external_sd and load from there

You don't need to go back to stock. If you can enter recovery, you can wipe system (only) and dirty flash your cm13 over it. It usually works and dont lose your personal files nor installed apps. If it don't, do a full wipe and flash your rom again.

Very strange issue OP3

Hi, I just bought a second hand OP3, the version installed was the last Open BETA 26.
So everything was working properly but when I reset it the phone was extremly laggy, even the bootamination.
And when the phone booted-up it was very laggy and after some seconds it crash (freeze and turn off after few seconds).
I tried a lot of flashs :
- ADB slideload (impossible to flash a firmware, sometimes the command don't work and when it works it stops after 47% or 97/94%
- The ultimate flash for bricked devices (https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-mega-unbrick-guide-for-a-hard-bricked-oneplus-3.452634/), the flash worked, but the freeze problem was still here even if the version flashed was OxygenOS 3.1.2
- From this firmware I managed to flash OxygenOS 4.5.1 (the last stable one) with ADB Slideload and same problem again.
- I tried to lock / unlock the bootloader but changed nothing, I even tried to flash TWRP to flash a custom rom but impossible to find a working version.
Now I need the help of XDA Gods !
Sorry for my bad english :silly:

The worst case scenario here is that you have a bad case of corrupted or broken storage (by 'storage' I mean the entirety of the phone's NAND storage) — have you tried wiping /data (labeled as Internal Storage in TWRP) or switching its filesystem back and forth (so, for example, if you have F2FS you'd need to switch to EXT4).
I'd say you might want to start backing up whatever data left in the phone.

try turning off advanced 4g mode. I have the same problem when flashing oos (cpu usage at 50%+ when idle) and this helped me.

Thanks for your answer, I didn't find a working version of TWRP to test (every TWRP i tried was black screen or stuck on TWRP logo) but I already tried full wipes from stock recovery (very very many times), I will try all TWRP avaliables and try your method.
But now I think the problem is the worst case that you said :/

Definitely try all available TWRP and see if any of them works. If the storage actually broke, it'd be pretty catastrophic and would be hard to recover or manually fix.

I don't know about conctacting OnePlus because it's a second hand model without bill, only the box.

Now I noticed that is was possible to flash any OxygenOS ROM or any OxygenOS based ROM with TWRP (the problem is still here) but impossible to get a booting AOSP based or any no-OxygenOS based ROM.
I'm trying to get the bill to get the help from OnePlus customer service.

So my phone is dead right ? We can't even find a motherboard on internet :/

Can you try
"fastboot format userdata"
"fastboot format cache",
"fastboot format system",
" fastboot erase recovery"
"fastboot reboot bootloader"
commands than flashing Oxygen recovery w/fastboot than flashing open beta 26 with Oxygen recovery? This may help.

It is your choice, you can copy zip with TWRP then flash Oxygen recovery via fastboot or just sideload it with ADB.

so, anyone able to install twrp over miui 10 global stayble rom?

After flashing the latest global stable miui 10 ROM on mi max 3, I can't flash tarp without bootloop or stuck on mi logo. My device is Chinese version and before installing global stable miui 10, I flashed twrp successfully. Now I can't even flash eu ROM, it just sticks on mi logo. I tried with magisk, but unlucky. Anyone have the same experience? At last my decision is, this version of miui is the culprit, though I m not sure!

Can you give a bit more information?
What steps did you take and in which order?

Every possible order.
1st, flashed twrp/s
2. Formatted data, because it asked for password to decrypt
3. Mount every possible partition
4. Wipe all without 'system'
5. Flash eu ROM
6. And it stucks on boot.
And only possible sollution after this stuck for me is, to flash again a fastboot ROM. No recovery ROM at this stage gains a successful boot.
Note: I have to flash several times my phone fastboot ROM to recover phone and try again again. No success. Every time I try it starts from decrypt data option and stuck on boot. Even I tried with flashing magisk also, after flashing eu ROM. But no luck.
At a point I found 'reset phone' option and gboard has stopped bug, but whenever I try to reset, it goes to twrp.

Because global stable and TWRP don't work together. Have you seen anyone root global stable? I haven't. This is why global is not as versatile compared to xiaomi.eu roms.

Did you try twrp app? Just as a test. Also try magisk app to install magisk to see if it helps. When we were testing Resurrected kernel, magisk was needed to get past boot screen. None if this is proven to work, but just trying to see if it helps.

Yes, tried official twrp. Even tried official twrp with magisk. In both case it stuck with booting screen/mi logo. No luck.
Edit: my all tries are: twrp+reboot / twrp+eu rom+magisk+reboot / twrp+lagzyflasher+reboot..
All the combinations resulted in a bootloop/ stuck in mi logo. In every time the only work around to past the boot screen is to flash again a fastboot rom. Only that time it successfully boots.

When you flash TWRP, you can boot to twrp or no? If you can, then it's when you flash an eu rom where you get stuck? Are you factory resetting before flashing eu rom?

Yes, i can boot to twrp. And always reset to factory/wipe everything before and after flashing eu rom. As i edited my comment above, with just twrp+magisk+reset+reboot / twrp+reset+eurom+magisk+reset+boot every times it gets stuck on reboot after flash.

Who told you to reset after flashing? That's why you're having issues. Don't reset after eu or magisk.
Twrp - factory reset - eu rom - reboot. That's it.

Wiping cache and dalvik cache are not the same as reset. They shouldn't cause any problems. Regardless, try without wiping them.

Don't know what to tell you then. Sorry, buddy.

Try this
1- TWRP flashing method:
Boot Twrp or Redwolf using “fastboot boot XYZ.img”
Copy img to device then flash Image file of XYZ.img again from recovery.
Flash Lazyflasher Or Magisk
Or you can just flash any AOSP/LOS based ROM

Nice but if Zip is available, the fastboot rom is coming very soon I think maybe it's better to wait no ?

Ah, right, I don't use miui usually. When I do it seems EU ROM was better over the years.

Tell me exactly, so, I can help you.
When you unlocked bootloader, which other partitions you formatted? You said, you used "mtk", I assume you used ,mtk-client, and in the scripts of this tool, also is recommended to delete other partitions.
When you say, you flashed back the stock ROM, which method did you use?, which tool?, and what message you got from that tool, I mean, it was success, etc?

I recommend replacing Orange Fox with TWRP.
I just had this issue on a different Xiaomi phone. I replaced Orange Fox with TWRP and was able to flash LOS and fix the problem.

SPFT and mtk-client tools can flash even to locked devices.
