I can enter on TWRP only ADB

Thanx

You say you can get into TWRP, right?
1. Boot into TWRP
2. Wipe > Format Data
3. Transfer a compatible ROM to your phone
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash Google Apps and Root if you want
6. Boot into system

For me when I plug in my phone to my computer while in TWRP I can still drag and drop the files over. You should be able to see your device in Windows. Since you can use adb try doing
Code:
adb push <source file location> <target location>
replace the <source file location> with the file location. That should move the file over to the phone. Then you can flash the ROM and get into the system.
Edit: When you click the Install button can you not find the files? The ROM you are flashing should be in a zip file.

[SOLVED] TWRP doesn’t let browse /sdcard files

I am having a problem it happened after I finally got to flash latest CosmicOS and set up a new password on my OP3. So, here’s what basically happened;
Once I got it up and running I noticed that home button and fingerprint sensor was completely disabled, then I tried to set up a new password (completely same password I used to decrypt my storage in TWRP 3.0.2-0) and fingerprint just in case but it didn’t react to me calibrating the fingerprint so I was like, ”alright, gladly I got a backup in TWRP”.
Once I rebooted to recovery it asked for a password as usually, once I typed that exact same password as before it just said wrong password, I tried it twice in case if I made a typo but still invalid password. And then I was panicing and pressed cancel and just rebooted back to OS.
I then removed all passwords there and booted back to recovery again, TWRP doesn’t ask for a password anymore but there’s a slider which says allow modifications or something similar and also there’s read only mode. When I slided the modification thing it just doesn’t show any of my files in sdcard folder when I go to ’Install’ tab but (0mb) instead. I even was able to browse and add files from my pc while phone was plugged in and in recovery mode, not anymore though.
Can anyone give me advice or help to get my oneplus 3 back in use? I have all the important files moved to my pc so I don’t mind losing files I have left in internal storage that much. Not if it’s necessary or easier workaround. thanks for reading this long-ass text :fingers-crossed:
EDIT: Issue SOLVED thanks to @AkR2014. I switched data partition from EXT4 to F2FS and then one more time back to EXT4 in TWRP's Wipe tab. (I was using latest blue_spark's TWRP-3.2.1-x version) and I was able to wipe data, system and both caches afterwards. After that I managed to flash new rom via USB-C to A with mounted USB flash drive on the other end and you know rest of the story. Do note that it WILL clear your internal storage so back up all the necessary files you need. And if you want to stay on F2FS data partition be sure to flash a ROM which supports it
EDIT2: There might be another way to mount your storage in TWRP but this is probably fail-proof method and worked for me

Oh and I couldn’t flash the Gapps in recovery after flashing the CosmicOs and nor I can’t now because of this haha. I can use my email though and send files through it from my another email if that helps

Wait, I think I found it. But the question is can and do I need to update the latest eng.stk’s TWRP through fastboot? And if so, is there instructions topic somewhere?

So here's the latest update: I flashed twrp-3.1.1-2 via fastboot but once I go to recovery it still doesn't let me browse files in /sdcard and if I put new password in OS it doesn't match in TWRP. I have a OS where I can boot to but no Gapps installed.
People say formatting data in TWRP would work, I'm just scared if that doesn't work and won't let me boot to OS anymore (even though I have a TWRP back up which I made before wiping my OxygenOS system data and caches in my pc as well in my phone's storage atm) and I can't flash anything in recovery mode, is there anything I could do? I'm in desperate need of help right now.
In this CosmicOS i am using Android 8.1.0 and I'm afraid something isn't supporting it or so.

As I said, flash eng.stk's TWRP. Simply flash the image to Recovery partition using the TWRP you already have. After that, wipe everything and clean flash the ROM. If anything goes wrong, you can use the Mega Unbrick guide method 2.

Thanks for the reply and link. I understood most of the parts except flashing the image to Recovery partition. Am I supposed to find the eng.stk’s TWRP from my Install tab in my current TWRP? Because it doesn’t show any files there. Also do I download the latest 3.2.1-x TWRP from the link you provided?

You will find TWRP 3.2.1-x v8.61 in the link I provided. Download that to your phone and save it. Restart your phone in recovery mode and in the current TWRP that you have, click the 'Install' button. By default, you will be shown zip files,if any. TWRP comes as an img file. So click the 'show img files' button at bottom right in TWRP and navigate to where you saved it and select it. Slide the bottom bar to install, you will be asked where to install it to. Select 'Recovery' and again slide the bar. It will be installed. To confirm, restart in recovery mode and check the version number of TWRP.
eng.stk's TWRP is compatible with OOS and custom ROMS. The offficial one doesn't work with some custom ROMs.

Thanks man :highfive: I have really nothing to lose anyways so I gotta try that lol. How can I know whether I am on F2FS or EXT 4 though? And once it’s done can I access to my phone storage while it’s in recovery mode and just paste new rom to internal storage? Or do I need to push the rom via adb while in fastboot mode? Thinking to try out Paranoid rom which is based on Nougat, right?

If you are able to boot into fastboot mode, you can install TWRP through ADB.
But you can not copy, paste in TWRP.

Great to hear that. Though I don’t have Gapps installed. Accidentally tried to flash the wrong one before the mounting problem occurred and now you know rest of the story :laugh:

[HELP] im stuck with no os and mtp wont work in twrp and also ADB isnt working

i flashed miui 9.3.28 and then booted twrp , but it was asking for password so i went to wipe and repaired data using ext4 ,and then procceded to wipe data, vendor, cache, system and now im stck with no os and i cant use adb sideload to install a rom please help :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying: :crying:

Reboot into fastboot(keep pressed power and vol - buttons until you plug cable to pc otherwise it can start rebooting system) and flash latest fastboot miui(you need to unzip it first): http://en.miui.com/a-234.html via XiaoMiFlash tool with clean all option. If you can't see your device in tool press refresh in MiFlash tool you have also Driver section check this. Another option is to install google latest_usb_driver via device menager(right click on your device->update-driver->browse pc -> and select usb driver.

I got the exact same problem after flashing the same beta build. Nothing worked for me so I had to flash the fastboot image and roll back the stable channel.

Op next time don't wipe vendor partition.In your case you should get recovery with supports MIUI on androind 9 and if ou had encrypted data you should format the data. Here you have similar situation: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-5-pro/how-to/recovery-pie-update-miui10-t3916963 (I didn't try this one)

Remember For decryption it only needs to format data partition only.
How will it boot if you wiped system as well as vendor partition.
If you can get in recovery just flash the update file 9.3.28 and u r ready to go.

I did all that and formatted the data partition which was decrypted afterwards. The problem is that internal storage gets re-encrypted after I boot to system.

[9 SE] OTA update encrypted storage

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?

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.

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

TWRP 3.5.2_11.0 for Oneplus Nord N100 (Android 11)

Test version of custom Team Win Recovery Project version 3.5.2_11.0 for OnePlus Nord N100 (Android 11 Only).
Everything works, except for:
MTP, .img firmware (for this you need to flash the full super.img image) and decryption of the Data section.
If anyone can modify this version of the recovery, we are very grateful to the future.
In the meantime, whoever wants to test or try it out, an image will be attached to the post. You can both boot (fastboot boot twrp.img) and flash (fastboot flash recovery_a twrp.img and fastboot flash recovery_b twrp.img).
I ask you to answer about all the problems found and write either to me personally or in this topic.

Is there any newer version of this? i find this one freezes the phone a lot. thanks

I ran this TWRP for the OnePlus N100 in fastboot and it worked but I can't see any files. I've installed Android 11.
I'm trying to install Magisk zip but in TWRP I only see the folder tree and no files.
Do I need to install TWRP and not just run it from fastboot?
If I need to install it do I pick slot a or b or both?
Thanks for any help.

I didn't. I patched firmware boot image and flashed through bootloader. However I just tried flashing from TWRP.
I put the zip on external SD because this version doesn't support decryption of data partition. I then entered the "mount" menu in TWRP and mounted external SD and then tapped "select storage" and selected external SD.
You should be able to flash it now. It didn't give any errors, but i didn't uninstall magisk first so don't know how well it actually worked.
I also don't know if you can do anything without external SD or without root access already.

I had high hopes...
I fastbooted the TWRP, I didn't install it but I don't think that would make a difference.
I put the Magisk zip on the external SD card and from within TWRP I had no problem mounting the SD card but I still couldn't see any files, just a folder tree, and every folder empty.
When you run TWRP and mount the SD card can you see the files within the folders on the card?

Yes. It is important that you tap "select storage" and select "micro sd". After i did that i entered "flash" and immediately saw folders and zips on my external sd. In file manager i could see all files and even deleted some from there.
From root directory it's in /external_sd not in /storage.
Edit: Even though i also don't think installing TWRP makes a difference, i don't know if that's the case.

I should mention i used "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" not "... recovery_a" or "... recovery_b".
I don't know if this changes something with access

Honestly patching boot image is probably less of a headache. I can even send the images pre-patched if you want. Just one fastboot command
I'd need to know your phone variant and update version.

I just fastbooted TWRP again and I'm mounting and selecting external_sd but still zero files.
If I flash the TWRP with "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" is there a way to reverse it if I ever need to?
Again thanks for the help.

Well that might be the problem. That's a carrier locked phone, right? I'm not really familiar with those. I just know they are complicated to mod.
Not sure if you'll even be able to flash recovery and I'm surprised you can fastboot boot. But in theory, (at least on unlocked phones) if you can flash TWRP, you can flash stock recovery from firmware package.
I saw a quite extensive and fairly complicated guide to fully unlock a carrier phone here on XDA, but don't know how well it works or if you have followed any of these steps.
Edit: Also found this, looks like it works with your device: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4245499/

Let me start by saying my phone is both SIM unlocked and bootloader unlocked.
The post you linked is talking about the same phone as me but the last post in that thread has an ominous post from someone on Android 11 bricking after trying that. I'm not sure if that works if you're already on 11.
I still can't understand why the TWRP can't see files on my SD card. I think the two missing elements are the fact that you have TWRP flashed to your phone and you're rooted already.
I really can't understand why being rooted would have anything to do with TWRP seeing the files on the SD card so I'm leaning toward it being flashed that's the difference.
I would like to try flashing TWRP but I'm still unsure how, plus I'm guessing I have no recovery if that goes awry.
If I could just get the zip fashed it should patch my boot.img and give me root fairly easily.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to ways back if the TWRP flash goes bad plus just what command do I use to flash it and what happens to the other slot?
.

Okay, so...
I have now tried flashing stock boot and stock recovery on both a and b, verified no root access, then trying "boot twrp.img"
Still able to see files on micro sd.
I then attempted to flash magisk zip to verify this method working.
Didn't seem to work at first, but i think this was due to me messing something up with active slot. Fastbooted into twrp again and flashed magisk again and it works.
So, in short; This absolutely works on a BE2013, but this recovery might not play well with your BE2015.
OP asks about potential problems so maybe you'll have luck messaging him and you could investigate together? Just a suggestion.
I'm sorry, but I really don't know how to help with that model. It's problematic that there's no firmware payload available. If you find one or if you can somehow dump the boot image from the phone then I'd be optimistic and happy to help any way I can.

I have the BE2011 model. Useful on this variant?
