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.
So I have a new oneplus 3. I rooted it, installed TWRP and flashed cyanogen mod. I couldn't receive incoming calls so I figured that should factory reset using TWRP. I messed up and deleted all files, including the internal storage. My phone has no os to boot from, no backups and now it has no roms due to the wiping. It can only boot to TWRP and fastboot. It's being recognized as "google nexus adb interface" by the device manager when booted into TWRP and connected. I just need a way to transfer the files from my pc to the phone so I can flash them. Please help me. (By the way, I'm fairly new to this whole rooting and flashing experience so please keep that in mind when providing a solution)
Try flashing with an OTG adapter and a Rom on a USB stick or google "how to use adb sideload" there are youtube tutorials for both of that, used them a few days ago

This has happend to me before with my old android device.
Boot up TWRP and mount the device as MTP storage and plug the phone into your computer [Make sure you have the right drivers installed] Transfer a ROM of your choice to the device and install it like any other ROM. :good:
Guys,
My father got my op5t with root, I think he had oreo oxygen os rom, after a couple months, he entered twrp by accident and he whiped, he did not know what he was doing. Long story short, the device keeps rebooting to twrp bluespark 3.2.1 v8.78. When the device is in twrp, i tried to connect to the pc but it wont detect the device.
My question; how can I fix this, I downloaded (OnePlus5TOxygen_43_OTA_034_all_1804201221_5c1b6d44ac9) but I dont know how to put in the device in order to install the zip file through twrp to restore Oxygen Os.
Hold the power+volume down buttons together and don't let go until you reach the twrp load up menu.
Stick the zip file into a storage format that hooks up to the USB-C, go into twrp and switch from internal storage to USB OTG and flash it from there.
I'm not too sure about this next method but you may be able to hook your phone up to the computer and have it on TWRP, you might have to look for the setting in the menus, then find the phone from your PC and drag the file onto the phone. I assume you know the steps in how to flash a new ROM.
Just a reminder, you'll have to be on , 5.1.7 Oreo to make the jump to 9.0 pie oxygen OS. Do you know what version he was on? You might have to just go into download mode and use ADB to flash the file.

thnx for response, but I said from the start that I believe that he was running oreo, im sure he was not on pie, it could be oreo or nougat but I think oreo. USB otg does not work for me, otherwise I would have tried that, I dont have the equipment.
The other method you mentioned about adb, If I go to twrp, click on advaned then you can click adb sideload, from there you should swipe to start sideload I believe, then open cmd in winodws and type ''adb sideload'' then drag the zip file to cmd and hit enter, however it says; cannot read 'E:\op5t restore stock\OnePlus5TOxygen_43_OTA_034_all_1804201221_5c1b6d44ac9.zip
How should I proceed ?
hold on, I found an option to enable mtp in twrp, now the pc finds the device, let me put the stock rom 5..1.1 that I downloaded and report back how it goes.
after flashing te the stock zip file, the devicr was in bootloop, then I figured I had to uninstal Magisk with the magisk uninstal zip file, after that the device booted fine.
thnx for the help anyways, really appreciated it ^^
The title might sound a bit extreme but hear me out. Earlier I was updating Havoc-OS to the latest June 12th, 2019 build. Upon flashing it within the TWRP recovery it asked to update the firmware. The firmware that it required was V10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM. I flashed fw_whyred_miui_HMNote5Global_V10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM_d4d2c9f2aa_9.0 from the website where all of the firmwares are managed, but ever since I did this my recovery has then broken itself (ARB as well? Give me a second..). Every time I go into TWRP and want to transfer files, there is no way for me to transfer files from my phone to the computer and vice versa. MTP is enabled but I just cannot transfer files what so ever. I tried to reflash TWRP, update to the latest version and it still has not worked. One thing I have noticed while flashing TWRP within Fastboot was that it didn't require me to use the dummy.img in order to flash via fastboot which I thought was strange, knowing that my phone has ARB Level: 4. I have since then used Mi Flash tool to get the phone working again but every time I try to flash TWRP, MTP still will not enable and I have no idea what to do. I'm so scared as to what to do next because I don't know what to do. Please any help or suggestions?

Go to developer options, disable USB debugging and then enable it again connected to pc and wait that a pop-up appears on device screen, tap on always allow, then within adb/fastboot folder try to send device to recovery with "adb reboot recovery" see if was solved, if not then try erasing recovery partition through fastboot with "fastboot erase recovery" then flash TWRP again as usually, disconnect from pc before to boot to it, then in TWRP connect to pc and wait that pc recognice it.
If the issue persists you can uninstall and delete all the files related with drivers on pc directories and then make again a clean install also wiping cache/dalvik onto your device.
It's because u used the twrp meant for oreo firmware. It is incompatibile with new pie fw, you must flash latest twrp for example twrp 3.3.1 using fastboot. Use adb commands: 1.adb,2.adb shell,3.adb fastboot boot (location of the twrp 3.3.1) for example C:\twrp.... .img and then from the recovery flash twrp 3.3.1 as recovery.
i had same problem.
i installed latest global stable miui_HMNote5Global_V10.3.1.0.PEIMIXM_d4d 2c9f2aa_9.0 rom from sd card.
MTP is working properly.
but there is problem for me after that.
This is strange problem.
after installing miui rom twrp recovery uninstalls automatically after reboot,when install twrp via boot it encrypts twrp.
can anyone help me?
my problem is-
after all this if i try to install custom rom(from sd card) it says corrupt file or error 7 ,i tried to flash 3-4 different rom.
EDIT: my problem solved after installing this twrp https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=6006931924117884758 (from AOSP ext pie rom thread)
