Long time silent reader here. I always find solutions for my problems in xda-devs, until now.
Hope you guys can help me once again..
So, yesterday I messed up my OP3 and wiped all partitions on my phone.
I've tried many steps, trying to flash a flashable stock rom (the one with boot.img and system img) in fastboot, result= installation succeed, but getting blackscreen on boot.
Installing full OOS rom from adb sideload using stock recovery, result= failed (* cannot read 'OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip' *)
Installing full OOS rom from adb sideload using TWRP recovery, result= failed (* cannot read 'OnePlus3Oxygen_16_OTA_039_all_1701140133_03b794d8a8b44883.zip' *)
Copy the rom to my phone, and installing the zip with TWRP, result failed (error=7)

So twrp is working right?
Flash any rom say lineage os
Flash multirom by BitOBSessiOn
Flash multirom twrp
Flash oos as secondary rom
And then swap oos to primary rom

try with some other TWRP . May be v16 blu_spark
https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=15934#downloads

Ye sideboard gives me issues aswell, push the zip and manually flash it In twrp: "adb push romzipname /sdcard/", the file is now ib the folder /sdcard/.

Then it's a twrp issue. I'm currently in Bluspark v16 so

Error 7 in TWRP AFAIK is an issue with using an incompatible recovery, try the latest one 3.0.4-1 I think it is from this forum.

I flash twrp bluspark as @Puddi_Puddin suggested and flashing Freedom OS. After that, I restore my data using my last Nandroid backup, then the bootloop comes again. Tried it several times using TWRP Bluspark with different ROMs, still no luck. So I suggest, there's nothing I can do to restoring my phone's data.
I read across the XDA forums and Oneplus forums that some people had similar issues for me, and they suspected something's wrong about corrupted partition, not because twrp version. And I also had tried flashing a few ROM in the past using the same TWRP 3.03 version without any problems. Strange.
Anyway, problems solved, my phone's up and running.
CASE CLOSED.
Thanks XDA

TWRP recovery loop, what should I do?

Hey all. I got my mi6 recently. and I installed twrp on it, and flashed magisk. I was trying to install atmos in recovery mod, then I remembered that I hadn't already downloaded the file. For some damn reason I decided to wipe my device. however that didn't go well, and now I'm stuck on a twrp load loop.
I've already tried this command unsuccessfully.
Code:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/misc bs=256 count=1 conv=notrunc
Also in desperation, I flashed my phone, rebooted it and etc.
What else can I try?

you can re-flash Twrp in fastboot mode, then boot to twrp, connect to you pc, it will recognize your phone as usb storage.
Down load you rom, copy it to your phone, then install rom by Twrp.

Can you boot to TWPR ?
- Yes: you can connect to PC and copy your rom, then install
- No: flash fastboot rom: download from Xiaomi site, use Miflash to flash in fastboot, then flash TWPR again.

Xiaomi download site is down

you may need to use a mobile browser. But there are mirrors.

I managed to fix the problem, by accident.
I just wiped Dalvik cache and data using the wiping tool in twrp.
after the reboot, TWRP was gone, and a fresh rom was installed with all my data, gone. However, that already has happened. So it wasn't a great loss.
I'm not technical, so I don't really know what made caused the loop, or how another wipe fixed it. So if anyone can explain it better, the floor is yours.
Thanks for the support.

custom roms do not boot up

hi there,
i used crDroidAndroid-8.1-20180606-riva-v4.3 but there were color problems i didnt know 2 fix so i decided 2 flash a new rom resp. a newer version but no custom rom boots up.
when it tries 2 boot is freezes at the boot screen, then screen switches off and nothing happens. i can go 2 fastboot and recovery.
sometimes it boots up but after a few seconds it freezes 2.
i tried different roms and recoveries but nothing works.
i foolishly wiped internal storage once but then i flashed the stock rom again which boots up. then i unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery and a rom again but the same error is there (no booting up)
anyone got a solution for this problem? no unbricking suggestions plz
edit: im in the wrong thread i think. i wanted 2 post it in "Guides, News, & Discussion". cant delete it. sry for that

logs
so i managed 2 create logs while booting up.
1) https://pastebin.com/cgrX2DA1
2) https://pastebin.com/r7DmcN46
3) https://pastebin.com/0pwXyuys
4) https://pastebin.com/S41FG2SQ
1) is 1st part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
2) is 2nd part of the log while booting with no success to boot into the os.
3) is 1st part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
4) is 2nd part of the log while booting with successful boot into the os.
i also tried 2 log "cat /proc/last_kmsg > /sdcard/last_kernel_message_log.txt"
and "dmesg > /sdcard/kernel_boot_log.txt" via terminal in linux but it only sais file or directory not found.
i hope sum1 can give me sum help now.

so i did this https://en.miui.com/thread-3921604-1-1.html but it doesnt help. as i expected.
any1? i can post more information if necessary. just say which and perhaps how ;D

cmon guys. i can impossibly b the only 1 who faces this problem.
i dont think its a hardware thing cause stock rom and android 7.1.2 (viper os) work. maybe a vendor problem? could flash another vendor img solve this problem? can sum1 send me his?
i got sum more logs after flashing rr 7.0:

Fastboot flash latest miui 10 stable using mi flash tool and use the rom after setting up. Then flash custom recovery and do a full wipe.
This works for most cases.

Well it worked for me.
Which custom rom you want to use?

well, it doesnt matter 2 me. the main thing is that it works =D rr, aex, crdroid..

Crdroid is my choice because aex and rr are very early builds. I like pixel experience but the devs not updating it so crdroid or havoc os.
Like i said use Xiaomi flash tool and flash miui 10 stable via fastboot method(there are 3 options in the bottom select flash all instead of flash and lock to avoid unlocking the bootloader again), don't flash anything else, setup and use the phone, flash recovery wipe all and format, install rom, don't flash gapps yet, boot into rom and see if its fixed.
Use vendor based recovery, if using batik recovery you have to flash batik recovery again after format.
This is my solution.

i did it several times before but 2 b safe i did it again like that:
i flashed riva_global_images_V10.1.1.0.NCKMIFI_20181029.0000.00_7.1_global_f444c158ed.tgz using XIAOMI-TOOL-MiFlash-for-Linux-by-IceMan-master. im on linux mint 18.3. i have 4 options:
flash_all_lock.sh
flash_all_lock_crc.sh
flash_all_except_data_storage.sh
flash_all.sh
i chose flash_all.sh
i booted into the stock rom and set it up, enabled dev options and adb.
then i switched it off, went into bootloader, flashed twrp-3.2.3-0-riva.img via fastboot.
after that i entered twrp, flashed OrangeFox-R8.3-riva.zip and rebooted into recovery
i wiped everything except external sd and usb otg (i dont have these)
after a reboot intorecovery i formatted data then rebooted in recovery
i flahed crDroidAndroid-9.0-20181002-riva-v5.0.zip
then reboot into system
no success as i expected! wtf is wrong wtf. this cant b true!
but thank u very much for ur efforts! perhaps i would try 2 restore a vendor img from sum1 which rom does work. i know its a great demand but could u send me urs? ;D i dont know if there r sum personal info..
best regards

Don't give up there might be a solution.
Pray to God for some help.

Currently I am using Xiaomi.eu beta rom. You can check their website for all the features. Its smooth, stable and can update without needing to got the recovery:victory:
This should work for you because unlike other roms this is based on miui for riva. That means you will get updates till Xiaomi ditches support for riva.
I recommend you use this rom over the global rom until you fix the problem with your phone.
Some things missing:
Choice of region is limited( India is not available)
There is no custom kernel available for miui oreo as of now.
Magisk safetynet not passed
If you're going flash this rom you need to be on latest global beta fastboot rom and need a recovery that supports oreo base.
I use batik recovery base oreo.

dont u have 2 wait 2 weeks or so till bootloader is unlocked?
what exactly do u mean with won't boot up? bootloop? or stuck at boot logo?
after flashing a custom recovery, did u boot directly into the system or did u try 2 boot into recovery? sometimes the stock recovery overwrites the custom 1 when stock rom boots up
my problem is solved. i remembered that i made a full nandroid backup with twrp before i flashed a new rom and the problem appeared. so i restored everything i backed up with twrp (incl cust) and voila, rom booted up. and i can wipe system and data and flash every rom i wanna and it still boots up \o/
i really could have tried it earlier but i didnt think of this untill yesterday ;D
well, thx for ur efforts anyway buddy @NaAnBcEhEuL9A8K7

Unable to flash custom ROM

Hello,
I am unable to flash a custom ROM on my note 9 pro (joyeuse), I tried xiaomi.eu, havocos, evolutionx, lineageos, etc.
Also tried every possible recovery, no matter what I do when I hit system reboot, I land on the fastboot screen.
Followed the procedure, format data, wipe dalvik/cache tried disabling encryption, flash magisk, I'm out of ideas.
please help.

Logs would help.
Or even screenshots of any errors.

Follow rom install guide to the letter (and no extra steps either). If unsuccessful ask in the rom thread. You didn't have to open a new thread mentioning all these roms. It's hard to help you because each rom has a different procedure.

I've already tried everything.
Either bootloop or fastboot screen.
I followed the instructions exactly.
I would like to install Lineage-OS

After installing TWRP are you immediately and succesfully rebooting to TWRP recovery before doing anything else? - if you do not do that, then you can end up back at MIUI recovery.

No need use recovery, Just download this gsi rom（https://sourceforge.net/projects/he...5011-HBTRIA-10-12-2020-GSI-Aonly.7z/download） and extract the 7z file, rename the extracted rom as system.img ,and type in fastboot cmd:
fastboot flash system C:\system.img, Which“ C:\system.img ” should be replaced by your rom's directory.
for powershell type .\fastboot flash C:\system.img
then fastboot reboot

I do not trust myself.
The last time always bootloop.
Can someone give me step by step instructions.
for example:
1. Wipe ...
2. do not Format ...
...
F**k off
Mi Recovery again.

Redmi Note 8 Pro: Custom Recovery Won't Boot.

Hello!
This is my first time trying to install a custom recovery.
I tried installing TWRP with no success...
for some weird reason, it just won't boot into TWRP or anything else... not even OrangeFox.
Here is what i've done:
- Unlocked the bootloader using the official Xiaomi unlock tool (which took a whole week :/)
- Downloaded the official TWRP img from here: https://dl.twrp.me/begonia/twrp-3.6.0_9-0-begonia.img.html
- Flashed it using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img while the phone was in fastboot mode
The flash was successful according to the fastboot terminal, on the phone screen it was fine as well with no errors.
When trying to boot to recovery, the phone hangs on a black screen for a few seconds, and then restarts until i release the volume up button.
I have tried OrangeFox as well, and got the same result.
What you might ask:
- Was the phone rooted?
| No, it was not rooted.
- Any changes to the firmware?
| No, it was 100% stock, just with an unlocked bootloader.
- What region?
| Global.
- Have you tried older versions of TWRP?
| Yes, and i even tried OrangeFox.
- What is the MIUI / Android version?
| MIUI: 12.5.5.0 - Android: 11
- Did you boot back to MIUI after you exited fastboot?
| No, it turns out that MIUI will replace the recovery to stock if i boot back into it. so, no.
i tried powering it off and then accessing recovery using power button + volume up
- Have you tried multiple times?
| My headache says yes.
- HaVe yOu SeArcHed XdA aT alL???/??/?/
| Yes, i did. I found some people with the same issue, but these threads had no answers.
- Not enough information
| Tell me what you want to know please.
Thanks in advance!

for some weird reason, it just won't boot into TWRP or anything else... not even OrangeFox.
Here is what i've done:
- Unlocked the bootloader using the official Xiaomi unlock tool (which took a whole week :/)
- Downloaded the official TWRP img from here: https://dl.twrp.me/begonia/twrp-3.6.0_9-0-begonia.img.html
- Flashed it using fastboot flash recovery twrp.img while the phone was in fastboot mode
The flash was successful according to the fastboot terminal, on the phone screen it was fine as well with no errors.
When trying to boot to recovery, the phone hangs on a black screen for a few seconds, and then restarts until i release the volume up button.
I have tried OrangeFox as well, and got the same result.
What you might ask:
- Was the phone rooted?
| No, it was not rooted.
- Any changes to the firmware?
| No, it was 100% stock, just with an unlocked bootloader.
- What region?
| Global.
- Have you tried older versions of TWRP?
| Yes, and i even tried OrangeFox.
- What is the MIUI / Android version?
| MIUI: 12.5.5.0 - Android: 11
- Did you boot back to MIUI after you exited fastboot?
| No, it turns out that MIUI will replace the recovery to stock if i boot back into it. so, no.
i tried powering it off and then accessing recovery using power button + volume up
- Have you tried multiple times?
| My headache says yes.
- HaVe yOu SeArcHed XdA aT alL???/??/?/
| Yes, i did. I found some people with the same issue, but these threads had no answers.
- Not enough information
| Tell me what you want to know please.
Thanks in advance!

Download this one:
MOD EDIT: Link Removed
After phone in Fastboot mode, just run file 1.FlashBrpMiuiA11Unified.bat and it will flash and boot in twrp automatically.

Wow it actually worked! Thank you so much!
just wondering, why didn’t it work with how I did it? It seems like it also installed a modified version of TWRP.

Best one until now. Encryption not broken (It broke on almost other Twrp, your data will be encrypted and just can Sideload). You can see in Advanced some more things like Magisk Install (If you want to root), patch vbmeta, fstab files (for f2fs),...

I think because it's for Android 9. If it for A11, it will be 3.6.0_11 like that. If you want for more other stuff, join Telegram group. All new things update there.

Oh, so the modification were in place just to make it work on a current version of Android?
By the way, I’m planning on installing a custom rom as well.
I want pixel experience, it shouldn’t cause any problems, right?
(I don’t have an SD card, I want to do it from internal storage)

I eddited old post, read again.
And for PE+ and PPUI rom, these one are the most dangerous roms. But because you already in 12.5.x, your hardbrick chance will be 5%. Some reported that still have chance for hardbrick even follow guide on these roms.
You can follow their Flash guide on Telegram (Find rmn8p official or PE_begonia). And they have unbrick method incase bad things happen, better near PC while flash that.

You can use Salih-Sonar's TWRP if you want decryption.
Just search "begonia-oss" on google and download the "TWRP-MIUI 12.5" one.
Also if you plan on switching roms this recovery will not work (learned that the hard way)
To prevent stock rom replacement,delete "recovery-from-boot.p" inside /system or /vendor

Disable AVB 2.0.
Flash proper TWRP that is compatible with your MIUI/Android.
Then it should boot normally

Install it again, then use "fastboot reboot-recovery" to boot directly to twrp. then using the file manager find and delete /vendor/recovery-from-boot.p
