i'm in trouble. i'm running an old cm13 build on my oneplus x.
i wanted to clean install lineageos14, so i tried to flash the newest twrp recovery which didn't work (i have the old bootloader). so now i have no recovery on my device, cm13 is still booting fine.
when i try to flash twrp trough fastboot it tells me my device is not unlocked. when i try to oem unlock it reboots directly into cm13, not into recovery as i dont have one on my device. oem unlock is checked in developer settings.
i don't know how i can get a working recovery, i tried to flash old twrp (2.8.7) and the stock recovery trough fastboot, but no luck. how can i flash the stock oxygen rom without recovery?
maybe someone can help me. thanks in advance.

Latest stock oxygen will be flashed by recovery tool. But before it you should backup all needed data from internal memory.

While H2OS was loaded, I flashed TWRP. After that I rebooted to recovery, cleared all the essential things, flashed a ROM followed by a Gapps package. After that, when I chose reboot to system, the phone stays stuck at the OnePlus logo screen. I can't access the recovery either. I flashed 3 different versions of TWRP, but still couldn't boot to recovery. P.S.: Bootloader is unlocked
What can I do now?
UPDATE: BluSpark's modded TWRP works, but after flashing the ROM nothing boots

You should fastboot flash old OOS 2 stock recovery, then full OOS 2.2.2 Rom.
Then root and install offical TWRP (not BS V41).
Then install what you want (but not Oxygen or hydrogen on MM)

oh, root access is compulsory?
Just tinking about root, because I used it to install TWRP but you're right, fastboot flash could do it
Hey guys,
I'm currently on OxygenOS 3, and wanted to flash cm14 by Ashwin. I used flashify, rashr to flash bluspark v41 and other oos3 compatible recoveries but the phone just wouldn't boot in the recovery, the OnePlus splash screen shows up for a second and phone boots back into the system.
Now, what I can do:- I can flash stock mm recovery and flash oos 2 but then I would lose the new bootloader and hence won't be able to boot into CM14, hence failing the actual purpose. Please help, I'm getting very frustrated.
Thanks.
Go to fastboot mode and flash bluespark recovery... After doing that boot into it directly
Before doing the above check for ur bootloader information oem unlock
Hello everyone, long time lurker here. I have used xda over the course of many years with many different devices, and I am extremely grateful to all of you!
I recently cam across an issue. So with my OnePlus X I had unlocked it, rooted it, installed TWRP and a custom ROM (6.x.x). I had that setup for a while, it worked well, and I enjoyed it. I decided to try to update to a 7.x rom, but that is when I had issues. Trying to install the rom through twrp didn't work, and I couldn't revert back to the old rom either. I tried to use the master unbrick thread to set it back to stock, and it worked. The problem here is the stock rom is very broken, things like the OPX home launcher simply freeze and crash. Trying to usethe guide on the oneplus website to unlock it all again to reinstall TWRP doesn't work. I can unlock it, but installing recovery is where it screws up.
So it says it installs, but then when I try to reboot recovery it has a DTB: not found...manually rebooting to recovery leaves a black screen with the oneplus square logo.
Any ideas how to fix this? I am so lost, but I love this phone!
Fastboot flash old stock recovery from OOS2 wipe data and cache install 2.2.3 followed by 3.1.4 then make sure your flashing latest TWRP 3.0.3 from there site. Now should be able to flash Nougat.

No because he needs to upgrade the bootloader first to have a TWRP 3.0.3 that works OK.

Hi,
After running out of patience i unlocked boot loader on my RN 3 (SD VERSION), and flashed lineage OS, but i did not get VOLTE on it.
To fix that i flashed some files again (and probably forgot to enable developer options), then i rebooted to the phone, and now the bootloader has locked again. I tried booting into EDL mode/TWRP recovery, but the device booted back to lineage OS.
I did not even flash GAPPS just to check if VOLTE is working(basically i booted into the system), now i cannot go to the EDL mode and also not into TWRP recovery. Please guide me on how to get out of this situtaion. I had unlocked bootloader by flashing MIUI 7 through EDL (replaced emmc, and then unlocked it in CMD through unlock-go command)
I am only left with lineage OS with no apps (Tried installing Play store and Play services, that also force closes).
Please help me out with this. I know i messed it up by probably not turning on the developer options before flashing the files.
Please let me know where exactly i messed up so that i do not repeat the mistake. And please guide me on how to unlock bootloader and flash stuff again. Thanks.
Hey just try to find advance restart option in developer options and from their you know what to do

Yes i found it, I can now boot into the TWRP recovery, but now that the bootloader is locked, i dont think i will be able to wipe or flash any rom. If i wipe i will be in bootloop.
I cant go to EDL. Is it possible to restore MIUI backup with bootloader locked??

What twrp you have have if it is zcx then just flash any rom and if you are wondering check this https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...ide-install-lineage-os-locked-t3546154/page39
And yes don't even try to flash your backup zip from miui backup but if it's twrp backup then you are good to go

Phone is booting. Running lineage 14.1, gapps also flashed now using TWRP.
So basically i can go to TWRP, not to EDL.

I have TWRP 3.1.0.0 and not ZCX. BOOTLOADER IS LOCKED INDEED.
The backup is twrp backup, not MIUI.
So what you are saying is that i should UPDATE THE Current recovery to ZCX through flash image option(IN TWRP) right? And then flash SUPERSU?
And after that CAN I Wipe the currently installed Lineage OS, and then install it again along with CM firmware and VOLTE Patch??? (As mentioned here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...t/volte-patches-nougat-based-cm-roms-t3509257)
Please confirm, and if yes, please confirm the order of flashing of above three files.
The main issue is VOLTE.
Also, the backup that i took with 3.1.0.0 can be restored using ZCX Right???
I am not sure but to be on safer side just flash the miui backup first boot in the ROM , set it up ,then try to other stuff and after that try to install zcx twrp if you dont want the unlock your bootloader again

How did u find ur bootloader is locked?
Hi
First a little history...
I recently got an OPX with the intention of installing Sailfish OS on it. So first I need to get CM 12.1 installed. Following the instructions here I flashed TWRP using fastboot, but the version of TWRP provided at the link would not find any system partitions on my device and therefore could not be used to flash any images. Newer versions of TWRP would simply not load.
Eventually, using the stock OPX recovery, I managed to upgrade Oxygen OS to the latest version. I then flashed the latest version of TWRP (3.1.1-1) again and it worked! It found my devices partitions and I could flash ROMs with it. But, it wouldn't flash CM 12.1. Something about a trustzone incompatibility...
So I got the idea to try and downgrade Oxygen OS, which I did via TWRP. But then TWRP stopped working... and here is my problem.
I'm now stuck in a situation where:
- I can access fastboot
- The only versions of TWRP which work (e.g. 3.0.2-0) fail to find my system partitions, and therefore can't be used to flash ROMs
- The stock recovery also seems to fail to find the system partitions (clicking on "install locally" does nothing), so I can't use that to flash ROMs either
So I really need to get a working image on my phone somehow... but how?? Is it possible to do this via fastboot only?
Cheers!
Is your bootloader unlocked? TWRP cannot see system partitions if so.
I unlocked it originally... but since then I have installed a new ROM (Oxygen OS 2.x). Would this overwrite the bootloader? Do I need to unlock again? I think I must be using the old OOS bootloader now...
I think you can see if it's unlocked if you boot into bootloader, connect to pc and write on cmd "fastboot devices".
Whenever you switch between android 5.0 roms and 6.0 and further you have to first use the correct recovery from oneplus, only then you can flash the correct twrp and the adequate roms
My bootloader is unlocked. I cannot flash a new ROM via recovery, because none of the recovery images (stock, TWRP) can see my system partitions (I don't know why). At this stage I would just like to know if there is a way to flash a stock ROM/recovery/bootloader via some other method (fastboot, or a special tool), so I can restore my phone back to factory state. I don't care about losing data. Thanks.
EDIT: Just to clarify, I believe this is my current situation (please correct me if something doesn't make sense):
- OOS has two different bootloaders, 2.x and 3.x.
- The phone originally had OOS 2.x on it. None of the TWRP images I installed recognized my system partitions, so I couldn't flash with TWRP.
- After re-installing the stock recovery (which happened automatically when I booted to the stock ROM), I was able to upgrade to OOS 3.x via stock recovery. Now recent TWRP versions were working (I assume because upgrading to OOS 3.x updated the bootloader too), and were recognizing my system partitions.
- Using a new version of TWRP (3.1.1-1), I re-flashed an older version of OOS 2.x again. I think this was my mistake, because I think this downgraded the bootloader to 2.x again. Now none of the TWRP versions recognize my system partitions, so I cannot flash ROMs.
- I have re-flashed the stock recovery from the OnePlus website, but not even this allows me to flash ROMs. The symptoms look like in TWRP, i.e. that it fails to recognize my system partitions. So I am stuck with no way to flash ROMs, or upgrade the bootloader.
