Hi guys,
I have a problem. I have used a custom ROM and wanted to go back to stock. Restored a recovery (with TWRP) and flash stock img. When I reboot my HTC 10 is factory reset and works fine. But when I lock the bootloader the device just bootloops. Does anyone know what I do wrong?
Regards,

Not sure, but could it be because you still have TWRP installed?

Hello all,
Having a weird issue. I flashed a stock-based Nougat ROM today and everything went fine, flashed new bootloader/radio first and new vendor img after ROM. Set up the ROM without issues, everything running smooth. I just went to flash a custom kernel and found out that I can't seem to get into TWRP. When I reboot to bootloader and then select "Recovery mode" it brings up the TWRP splash screen but the recovery never loads, it just hangs there for several minutes. I've tried rebooting several times.
Anyone else having this issue? Afraid I might need to reflash the recovery but I'd like to avoid that if possible.
Thanks.

You need to reflash recovery because you are on 3.0.2.0 and you need at least 2.1 or 2.2. Just fastboot that img and it'll boot

Okay, thanks. Any idea if I will need to revert recoveries if I go back to 6.0 or are they backwards compatible?

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
okay so i tried to flash a cypher OS rom on my sultanxda CM13 and my phone is currently not going into recovery so basically i am stuck in fastbood mode . my device state is unlocked and when i restart or try to go into recovery the phone just turns off and does nothing. the only way i can actually turn the phone on is by holding volume up + power + home (hard reset tactic)
can anyone help me?
so where do i go from here? i tried the toolkit unlocked and re-locked the bootloader, tried to flash stock recovery img, tried to flashing twrp, nothing works guys.
flash Original Rom
Make sure you're using latest modified recovery (28) by eng.stk.
From your description the phone most probably doesn't actually turn off, it just displays black screen (common issue caused by TWRP incompatibility).

You re-locked the bootloader while you were still on a custom ROM and/or recovery?

Reboot to bootloader and flash stock recovery
Yep and if it works flash blu-spark twrp it should be fine.
Yeah, I went through a lot of steps, but basically install stock recovery v2 and let it restart. Once it succeeds or fails, it will go back to normal, and you can flash whichever recovery/rom combination you prefer. I don't have the official url, but this one seems legit:

Hi,
My Nexus 5X died some days ago, and Google shiped me another one. But this new device have the unbelievable "NO RPMB" message that locks the bootloader (this is a known issue where the bootloader is automatically re-locked after each reboot, making flashing factory images an harassing journey).
I installed TWRP to flash a custom rom but after each reboot on the system,TWRP was replaced by stock recovery !
Do anyone knows how resolve this problem ? I suppose if I can flash a custom rom it will solve a great part of the problem... I'm actually thinking of sell this new phone and get another device like oneplus.
Any help will be appreciated ! ?

Unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and boot straight to recovery without rebooting, perform a factory reset and root. That should make TWRP stick. If it doesn't, you can then use the TWRP manager to install TWRP again.

Quick question. As I just picked up a refurb N5X on the cheap and I plan to use it (fingers crossed it does have RPMB, not holding my breath though)- how viable are custom ROMs on this thing? The reddit thread that started this all states to leave /system unmodified but other comments say that they've flashed custom kernels.
So- if this is the case, would the order be unlock bootloader>flash stock images/noencrypt>flash TWRP>boot into TWRP> factory reset> boot into Oreo> unlock bootloader and boot into TWRP when modifications need to be made?
Thanks.

I use a custom kernel so that works just fine, haven't tried a custom ROM though. You don't have to unlock the bootloader every time to make changes as long as you have TWRP. I'm not entirely sure but I think rooting made the TWRP stick. If not, you can still install it from the TWRP app as you have root.
After you've installed the stock images, it should be enough to boot into TWRP, do a factory reset and flash the custom ROM.

So once TWRP is installed and "stuck", it can make modifications to traditionally "root" partitions (system, data, etc.?).
Also, did you flash the noforce encrypt boot image (and then wiping userdata)? Or does the stock image work?

Yes. I've for example installed all the OTAs from TWRP (except Oreo).
Stock image works.

Thanks. Does DRM content work? I've also read conflicting reports as to apps like Netflix working on Oreo.

I don't use Netflix so can't say if that works but Play Movies worked on Nougat.

Hello, i have the same NO RPMB problem Im using latest stock rom 8.1 (December patch), radio, bootloader and vendor.
How can i boot straight into recovery without rebooting? Do i need to flash vendor.img too? (i would like flash latest AEX rom).
If im not wrong i should do this procedure as suggested right?
- unlock bootloader from fastboot
- flash latest twrp recovery from fastboot without rebooting (this will work? Because in the N5X root thread it's written to reboot first)
- get into twrp without rebooting (how do that?)
- install root (i will use latest Magisk)
- perform factory reset
- wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache
- install custom rom, gapps...
- wipe cache and dalvik, and reboot
Finally i will have a rooted device with custom rom and bootloader locked again right?
Or is preferred this solution of Reddit user?

I haven't tried this with a custom ROM but I would try it like this.
- Unlock bootloader from fastboot
- Flash TWRP from fastboot
- Select boot to recovery from the fastboot menu
- Do a factory reset
- Wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache
- Flash ROM, flash Gapps
- Flash Magisk
- Reboot
