[Help] Pixel 3 xl stuck in twrp - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

i have unlocked bootloader, fastboot mode on and can boot into recovery just fine. If i just let it 'boot' it boots into twrp automatically. From twrp i try to sideload, but adb does not recognize there being anything connected (adb devices returns empty) and adb sideload fails. Im on windows 10.
Update: solved. I had to run the command window and admin and it flashed just fine. Thanks spotmark!

Download whatever build you're on and extract the boot image. Then fastboot flash the boot image.

Plz read line #1 on post #1 for twrp . . . ( hint ) it'll tell you that the twrp team has "not" yet got adb sideload working. . We all have to be patient !
.
And the good News is . . . if you use the usb-C adapter in the box and plug in a usb-A thumb drive into the pixel when running twrp . . . . you can see and grab stuff off that thumb drive. . . . . it worked for me 1

You need to flash the boot.img not the bootloader.

Soft Bricked: No recovery, only fastboot

I did a CM nightly Update, which relocked my phone. I tried to unlock it but something went wrong. I can flash partitions but somehow can't boot into anything besides fastboot. When I try to boot into any recovery (even Stock) the phone just restarts after showing the Oppo logo for a moment. (Just as if I was trying to boot a custom rom from a locked device)
OEM-Info:
Code:
fastboot oem device-info
...
(bootloader) Device tampered: true
(bootloader) Device unlocked: true
(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false
(bootloader) Display panel:
OKAY [ 0.005s]
finished. total time: 0.005s
Booting a recovery.img (Same reaction for every recovery):
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-2.8.7.2-find7.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.355s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.013s]
finished. total time: 0.368s
Phone Just reboots into a boot loop.
Flashing anything works fine but I'm getting boot loops again.
A strange thing that happens is that if i try
Code:
fastboot oem lock
the process just get's stuck showing three dots. (Same on Windows and Linux) That probably means that the bootloader is in some buggy way half way locked. (That sadly doesn't explains why the stock recovery won't work)
No idea how to fix it. Thank you in advance!

Amazing tool here: forum.xda-developers.com/find-7/development/recovery-recovery-installer-7-t2819794
Hey !! I solved the pblm!!! what I did was just hit and trial but it worked. Now I will give the method:
Follow these steps and see if u are lucky enough!
step1: go to fastboot mod in your oppo f1
step2: flash stock recovery using adb. Type in "fastboot flash recovery stock.img"
step3: do not reboot your device and type in "fastboot flashing lock_critical".
step4: type in "fastboot reboot"
After these 4 steps I was able to boot back in Project spectrum. I haven't checked until that if I m able to go to recovery mode but I will update once I check. Check if you can boot.
Note: keep the stock.img file in the same folder in which you have your adb installed.
And I am not sure if this will work for you also.. but it is safe so go give a try!!!
THIS WORKED FOR OPPO F1f YOU CAN TRY YOUR LUCK BY USING THIS METHOD

Have you tried to flash any full Rom from stock recovery? Doesn't need unlocked bootloader as long as its the official OnePlus software.

You are trying to flash TWRP with a locked bootloader and it obviously fails. Download the full official ROM from OnePlus site and the corresponding recovery also. First flash the recovery and reboot to bootloader and then flash the OS and reboot. If you are successful, you can enable Developer Options and from there OEM unlock and USB debugging. Thereafter you can try TWRP, Magisk and other ROMs.
Hmm, I thought he said he can enter bootloader and recovery. If so, reboot the phone in stock recovery and flash full Rom from local update.

NO.
So that is where you are committing a mistake. You have not been reading the posts carefully.
All of us are asking you to download the STOCK recovery compatible with the version of the stock ROM chosen by you and to FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY FIRST, NOT TWRP.
Because TWRP can't be flashed with a locked bootloader whereas the stock recovery can be flashed from bootloader. Then go for the ROM, sideload it using adb and boot.

Oh i see now where can i find the lastest recovery and by how i need to flash it, in adb sideload (recovery.img) or fastboot flash recovery (oneplus recovery.img)?

Need help putting TWRP on my Zenfone 5z

Hello, I've been trying to install TWRP on my 5z (ZS620KL).
Whenever I try to use the "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", I get the output:
Sending 'recovery' (25244 KB) OKAY [ 0.596s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: '(recovery_b) No such partition')
I tried switching to the other partition using:
"fastboot --set-active=a" and "fastboot --set-active=b"
But it lead to no change whatsoever.
I'll be very thankful for any suggestions
Can provide any additional info, if needed
fastboot flash boot boot.img is the command you are looking for
Obviously you need you download the boot image and twrp zip for the version you are looking to install

Question OP9P stuck in fastboot mode, no OS or recovery Help!

I am new to flashing custom roms, and I got lineage running but I wanted to try Evo X, when I tried flashing through lineage Recovery it booted back into lineage, ok, so I erased all datat through lineage recovery and installed TWRP. I got that on but within a few clicks of messing around I found myself with no recovery or OS and im only stuck in fastboot, I have no idea how to get out of it. mods take this post down if posted in the wrong community. I just though this would be the best place to post it. I am new to XDA, I have these ADB logs from the command I was trying to run
C:\Users\user\Desktop\platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows\platform-tools>fastboot boot C:\Users\user\Desktop\platform-tools_r31.0.3-windows\platform-tools\TWRP-3.5.1-lemonadep-Nebrassy-2.img
Sending 'boot.img' (196608 KB) OKAY [ 4.500s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I have no idea why it keep failing, I would greatly appreciate any help to get my phone working again.
Try the following command :
fastboot flash boot lineage-recovery.img
Once that is done, boot to recovery from fastboot and try flashing the rom you were trying to.

I guess you should try msm tool then
Go for msm tool. You can find a tutorial for 8pro on YouTube. Follow the same steps( obviously with the correct op9 pro firmware.

I have gotten msm tool and my firmware, but nothing is showing up in msm when my device is connected
ive linked a screenshot of what my msm tool looks like, im just so desperate to get my phone back
Power off phone, position mouse cursor o er start button on msm tool, hold down vol up and down simultaneously, plug phone into computer wait a quick second and press start. That should work.

Instead of going for msm tool, when your stuck in fastboot, after successfully flashing an .img (Twrp, losrecovery ) use:
"fastboot --set-active=b" (when you're active in slot a)
Then reboot to recovery.
Basically it flashes okay but to the other slot. Happened to me too. I am now booted into the system on slot b. Hope it helps

[SOLVED] - Bootloop with completely new OPO9pro after oem unlock
Hello, just received the phone (EU), updated latest online udpate. (no Google account etc added, just fast setup) Enabled developer options, OEM unlocking and USB debugging. After update, 1*reboot. then another reboot to bootloader, and executed...
forum.xda-developers.com
I think you should start over and use "fastboot flashing unlock" instead of fastboot oem unlock.
Follow the link in that thread. Droidwin has the best tutorials for oneplus you'll find. Never had this error myself, so can't say for sure what to do.

Problem with installing TWRP on OOS 10.0.1

Hello guys,
Please help me because I'm stuck. I'm trying to install latest TWRP on my OP5 with no success. Let me tell you what I tried.
- I'm running on OOS 10.0.1
- sucessfully installed ADB and drivers on Windows 10.
- sucessfully unlocked bootloader
Then I downloaded latest TWRP, renamed it to twrp.img and placed it in a folder where ADB and fastboot are. Device is seen in both ADB and fastboot.
When in fastboot I tried first the command:
C:\>fastboot boot twrp.img
fastboot: error: cannot load 'twrp.img': No such file or directory
then I googled and tried with file directory:
C:\>fastboot flash recovery c:\adb\twrp.img
Sending 'recovery' (35228 KB) OKAY [ 1.025s]
Writing 'recovery' OKAY [ 0.164s]
Finished. Total time: 1.220s
The second command with direct source I tried both using USB 3.0 and via USB hub and it doesn't work. When I reboot to recovery it enters to the stock OP recovery and no sign of TWRP.
Can you please help me?
Thanks in advance!
Maciej
Hi, i could be misreading your steps but have you tried renaming the twrp image to twrp and then try fast booting with twrp.img again. It may be that by including the .img in the file name it is looking for twrp.img.img.
I'm no ADB expert but that may be all that's needed as it reads like everything else is working as should from my limited experience.
