I can't reflash stock recovery

Hi, yestarday I flashed CM 14 with TWRP to try it, and today I have tried to return to stock rom & recovery but I can't do it. At the beginning I have tried to flash stock recovery that I have downloaded from op.net with fastboot and I couldn't do it and after I have tried to do the same process but this time flash it with TWRP and also this time I couldn't able to fix it. In fine I have installed the stock ROM via TWRP and I managed to install it but now the problem is that I still can not install the stock recovery and accordingly I can't install op3 update.
An another problem is that I have tried to re-lock OEM from fastboot and when I try to turn on the phone, is asks me a pin to enable it and I don't know that pin because I haven't set no one

No it isn't. Because I managed to put stock ROM into it via adb with push command and after I have installed it from twrp that works. My only problem is that i can't flash stock recovery.

i have the same issue. Tried many times but i'm getting a black screen after one plus logo for both stck recovery and unmodified twrp. only moidified twrp is working. please let me know if u find a way to resolve this.
thanks in advance

you can reboot in to stock recovery without any issues?? I think I should give it a try. And you are saying the bootloader is locked again ?

Great. Can I place the file in beta8 rom .zip file and flash it using adb ??

If this procedure doesn't you can download an older version of oxygen os and update it via ota. At the first attempt when you will try it will give you an error and at the second attempt It will download all the ROM again and it will reflash by itself

I suggest you to try at the beginning with the beta 7 because if that procedure not work for you, you can't downgrade to beta 7.

Thank you.
Will let you know if it worked.

I had that problem.
Solution as follows, worked everytime for me: (I have not tried this method with the newest beta 8)
1. Flash OOS 3.2.6 firmware in twrp.
2. Reboot to fastboot and flash official oxygen os recovery downloaded from the OnePlus website. (This is still the old version for some reason, thus why it won't work)
3. Side load community build with oxygen os recovery, this will flash the new firmware back and update the recovery to be community build compatible.
4. Before rebooting erase everything (factory restore)
5. Reboot to OOS, finish setting up.
6. Turn on advance reboot in developer settings.
7. Reboot to recovery via the reboot menu. First time boot into the recovery may take sometime, but it has always worked for me.
8. After everything looks good, go ahead and OEM lock in fastboot, recovery should work as usual this time and format your phone

OP did you find a solution to this?? Im on the same boat as you

Update from 3.2.7 to 4.1

Hey guys. I am still on marshmallow on my op3. I am rooted and have twrp recovery. My question is what firmware/modem do I need to flash before I update to latest Nougat update and if my steps below are correct.
I would prefer not to do a clean install.
My steps would be:
Download full rom
Flash any firmware if required - this is what I need to know
Flash Magisk as I need root
Profit?

this is stock rom, you don't need to flash any firmware...
if you're coming from MM, i would recommend sideloading the rom, wipe everything, then go back to stock recovery then sideload then before 1st boot fastboot TWRP again, then reboot to TWRP and flash Magisk...Profit.
if you want to flash from TWRP without going through this (which i don't recommend), make sure in TWRP to format data as f2fs, wipe everything then flash the rom, and then form TWRP flash TWRP again, then reboot to recovery (not system), then flash Magisk.

Thanks a ton for replying. Another question for you. I get the OTA notification. I could just let that run and flash twrp after the installation right.

if you're already rooted it wont install..and you can't flash the small ota file from TWRP, you have to flash the Full rom (1.4 GB)...
how you download is up to you, but why download from the update when there's many links available around !

Thanks for all the help. I flashed the new update successfully.

Oh ok. I just flashed full rom via twrp after wiping cache and Dalvik cache.it updated fine. I wasn't sure of magisk.

[SOLVED] HELP! i'm stuck in a boot loop! :(

my flashing history:
i was on audax (oos based nougat rom) with blu spark kernel before, then went to official ob1, then back to audax, then back to stock oos nougat and now i flashed audax and after clean flashing it, it just wont boot up.
when i try to boot up i see the 1+ logo but then it reboots to recovery. i also tried flashing stock nougat again and also flashed stock kernel manually but it also doesnt work.
i always do:
1. wipe system/dalvic/cache/data
2. install ROM
3. wipe dalvik/cache
4. flash magisk (also tried without flashing magisk)
5. reboot
i've been looking on the interwebs all day but nothing worked.. help pls :/
EDIT: problem was blu spark twrp. Maybe installing Oreo ****ed it up. I flashed codeworkx newest twrp universal build and now Im able to boot again!! Btw: I also found that magisk 15.0 prohibits a proper boot up and results in a boot loop. version 15.2, however, does the trick!

when it auto reboot to recovery, formate data

When s**t happens, it is wise to start everything from scratch:
-boot in fastboot mode and flash stock recovery with "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (rename recovery.img with your recovery filename), then reboot recovery and select english, advanced, adb sideload;
-flash stock OS with "adb sideload rom.zip" (rename rom.zip with your Oxygen OS filename).
Procedure will require some minute because of the large file size. Remember to save all your data on internal storage first!
I advice you to flash original recovery because often sideloading in TWRP leads to some error.
Your phone will boot again... after that you may reflash TWRP, Magisk etc

I had the same issue. Bootloop and jumb into recovery by itself. You have to flash magisk 15.2 via recovery and will be boot.

He says that it occurs even without Magisk... I had a similar trouble once, and the only way to solve it was the procedure I wrote above...

I dont know if you can boot it w/o root

How to install OTAs after installing twrp?

You need to flash stock boot.img, as TWRP gets installed to the boot.img on your phone. But you need to do it on the right partition otherwise you won't get the updates. Also if you've tampered with system or any other partition of the device, you need to remove them. To get rid of all the steps, just flash the stock rom via MiFlash (you'll lose your data so take a backup).

You don't neccesary lose your data with MiFlash, just choose the option without relock/wipe.

I need to know where to flash the twrp and where to flash stock boot.img when installing OTA
Yesterday I flashed patched boot img using the command: fastboot flash boot patched boot img, without choosing a partition

I made a guide for doing OTA with TWRP and Magisk. You should be able to follow it and just ignore the Magisk bits. The start covers restoring the boot partition.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/10-0-4-0-to-10-0-7-0-ota-keeping-magisk-t3916863/
Note that I normally get a boot loop after installing TWRP and reinstall magisk as a fix. I'll assume you have your own way to install TWRP.

Question After patched boot.img - can not start system / boot loop

Hello
I have big problem.
After patching img over Magisk and flash this new patched img, can not start system / boot loop to POCO logo, or boot loop to MIUI logo - here system starting, but every restart and boot loop
Help please
Thanks

Hi!
Which boot-img did you patch and where did it come from?
How did you flash it?

So:
I received an update 12.5.8.0.RKHEUXM
After the update, I always have to root the phone again.
So I took boot.img from the original 12.5.8.0.RKHEUXM and patched it via Magisk.
I flashed the patched boot.img via ADB.
Well, after the restart, my phone will boot only after the MIUI logo and a bit of a melody, and the phone will restart again. This restart is performed about 4 times and remains/stops in fastboot mode,or it will return to TWRP after clearing dalvik and cache and restarting.
He does what he wants
I've had a problem with that before, but it was enough to delete Dalvik and the cache via temporary TWRP.
Then the system booted up normally, but now it doesn't work even after deleting Dalvik and the cache.
Here is a link to the thread where I solved it. Nobody actually advised me there, I just tried to clear dalvik and cache via TWRP and it was after the problem. Unfortunately, now the problem persists.
Poco F3 - Boot Loop to POCO logo / Please help
Hello. I have a big problem after updating the firmware. Poco F3 root over magisk. After updating from 12.5.6.0 RKHEUXM, I updated to 12.5.7.0 RKHEUXM. After the restart, both the phone and the system booted up. I patched the original boot.img...
forum.xda-developers.com

Thats what I did also with 12.5.8.0.RKHEUXM and everything is working fine.
Updated to 12.5.8.0 via the MIUI updater, but downloading the full rom, as the updater told me that the incremental update (~58MB) wouldn't work.
Then downloaded the the recovery file here: https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/miui/alioth/stable/V12.5.8.0.RKHEUXM/
Unzipped it and extracted the boot.img with payload-dumper-go on my Mac: https://github.com/ssut/payload-dumper-go
Patched the boot.img with Magisk on the phone.
Copied the patched_boot.img file back to the Mac.
Flashed the patched_boot.img from the mac with fastboot to both partitions:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a patched_boot.img
fastboot flash boot_b patched_boot.img

Friend, I did exactly what you were writing, and unfortunately my system won't start
The only thing I did differently was to download the big rom 6gb update so I didn't have to extract boot.img. I didn't have to use a payload dumper.
Any other solution?
But I don't want to lose data and applications!

Did you try wiping data partition?

But I don't want to lose data and applications!!!!!
I have bootloop to MIUI logo 4times - 5times and then stop in fastboot mode , It stops in fastboot mode and after pressing and holding the power button, the mobile starts only in fastboot mode, it no longer starts booting to the MIUI log

You can do it from recovery.
If you have twrp recovery you can backup your data before wiping.
But I'd only recommend backuping pictures(files) not the apps which you can reinstall.

You didn't give me much advice, my friend
I don't want to lose any data, or applications, pictures, just anything.
If it went after deleting the dalvik / cache last time, then why shouldn't it go now?
The system boots only to the miui logo, then the boot loop.
I don't understand why this is so.

And can't you somehow refresh the whole rom without losing data, applications and files?

Boot temp recovery, backup boot, patch backed boot and flash patched boot ... Just rename the boot backed image of twrp in boot.img, patch and flash ...

Try reflashing the official boot.img, you won't have root but at least you will be able to boot your phone. Also if you have TWRP why aren't just rooting your phone with the Magisk.zip instead of patching the boot.img yourself ?
