Hi, I'm hoping someone can offer some assistance. I have an Elephone P9000 (normal version NOT lite) that has official Android 7.0 and I want to install LineageOS 14.1.
As per the instructions I used SP Flash Tool to downgrade the phone to Android 6 (Elephone_P9000_20170112) which worked fine.
I then attempted to install TWRP 3.2.1.0 which also appeared to work ok as I could boot into TWRP recovery and all looked good. However when I tried booting the phone normally it stuck at the white boot logo and would not progress any further.
So I reloaded the Elephone_P9000_20170112 rom again with SP Flash Tool after which the phone would boot normally and then tried installing TWRP 3.0.2.8 as I'd seen threads saying that this version definitely worked with the P9000. However this produced the same result that I could boot into TWRP fine but it would get stuck at the boot logo if I tried booting the phone normally.
I have also tried re-installing the ROM but unticking the recovery option in SP Flash Tool hoping that this would leave the working TWRP intact but this didn't work either.
When I try to boot into recovery I get the little Android laying down with a red exclamation mark.
So I don't know where to go now. I can get EITHER Android to boot or TWRP to boot but not both.
Just in case it is relevant, I am using SP Flash Tool v5.1804_Win in Windows 7 32bit. I don't have any SIM's in the phone and no SD card inserted.
Can someone point me in the right direction please.
Thanks
Russell

Thanks very much, that worked fine and AOKP looks really good. When it said install the latest Android v6 it obviously means the previous latest not the current latest
Just in case anyone else is having the same trouble I was:
Using SP Flash Tool load the 20160810 ROM available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/development/rom-elephone-p9000-20160810-t3445897
Then, also using SP Flash Tool, load TWRP v3.2.1 which is available from here: https://eu.dl.twrp.me/p9000/
Then you can use the TWRP recovery to load whichever ROM you like (LineageOS, AOKP etc, etc)
Once again, thanks very much for your help.
:good:

Hello!
This is my first post. I've searched for hours. Visited over 200 sites and forums tried multiple things installed all available android tools you can find online and i am seriously stuck.
Setup before problem : One Plus X - Cm13 - Version 2016 - Oct - 10. This is updated from the cyanogen website and its treated as the stable version.
Downloaded the latest version which is the 15th and got stuck at bootloop. After some searching i discovered that i had to updated my bootloader as it was the same since November 2015. In the website that i got the new version i was also given the new TWRP version 3.0.2 . So i went into my recovery flashed the new bootloader , then the TWRP , then the new ROM. Mobile boots up shows completly empty fresh install CM 13 without gapps or any of my previously installed programs. Everything is still in the storage. All installation folders from the various programms i had.
My recovery mode refuses to Boot. It just stays on the one plus logo. Tried TWRP manager from the OS but the old version 2.8.7.0 refuses to be unistalled. Adb command lines : I've been trying on windows 10 , 8 , 7 with the appropriate drivers and the only thing that i can make the phone do is go to either FASTBOOT or normal boot. Flashed the TWRP multiple times and no changes what so ever. I can make the mobile show up with ADB device, Fastboot device it shows success and when i try to boot into recovery it just gets stuck. I also got the MTP package from Windows. Basically i bricked my phone within a glass. OS works but Recovery not. Fastboot is supposignly working but i see no changes.
Thank you in advance!
Install original stock recovery then 2.2.3. If you want to use ashwins cm13,cm14 from here on out and a couple other ROMs required updated bootloader. You achieve this by flashing 3.1.3 Oxygen OS. After you updated your bootloader only twrp you can use is blusparks latest v41 or Nichets twrp. On a side note 2.8.7 twrp is old 3.0.2 is latest.

Thank you i managed yesterday from a program to flash twrp as kernel and was rebooted into a working twrp and fixed everything from there.
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 People, I hope someone out there can help with the problem I have. I'm trying to install TWRP recovery and it results in all Twrp versions 2.xx, i get OPPO powered by Android screen then goes blank. All Versions 3.xx I get the aforementioned screen and it sticks on it. I'm using the unrooted stock version of project spectrum 1.1 atm. I did install the CM recovery when it was around a while back on the device but after bricking it I'm back on stock firmware now and want to use lineageos.
I have tried every method and every TWRP package via fastboot but with no luck, I have been successful before but not now. Thanks
Any luck with it. I'm also stuck with twrp-3.0.2-0-r5.img

Hope it works for you too.

Hi guys, after a long hiatus from XDA , I am now back in need of more advice.
I simply cannot seem to flash TWRP recovery on this phone.
I have followed multiple guides and nothing is working.
I have installed all the necessary drivers and I have tried multiple different versions of flash tool and TWRP Roms.
On an older version of flash tool, my phone just sits off and flash tool finishes by bugging out with an error like "the phone booted too quickly".
I then tried a new version of flash tool and it did actually seem to flash TWRP ,however when I boot into recovery, my phone bugs out for a split second and then boots into standard os.
Can anyone help me?
Managed to fix the issue with some perserverance!
But what did you do ? I got the same problem.
Here is the Solution watch this video

am not able to update twrp
twrp-3.1.0-0-onyx.img
twrp-3.0.3-0-onyx.img
twrp-3.0.2-1-onyx.img
when i flashed these files using twrp and rebooted my device i was stuck in one plus logo.
Even i cant flash any of above 3 twrp files using fastboot adb method i am getting an error "remote dtb not found" pls check screenshot
then i reinstalled twrp-3.0.2-0-onyx.img using adb fastboot method , but i cant not install or update version above 3.0.2.0 plz help
Hi guys if anyone facing same problem Read this
PROBLEM
1)Error Code 7 while flashing new ROM (like Nogut ROMS ).
2)Remote dtb not found while updating old twrp to new (eg. twrp 2.8 to twrp 3.1.0.0)
Cause of problem
Users who have already flashed and rooted their phone and using custom ROMs like CM12 CM 13 or any other from past year will likely to face this problem
while updating twrp recovery or while updating to new custom ROM Nogut cm14 .
Because new custom ROMs have bootloader in diffrent partition (something like this) so you wont be able to flash your phone with new ROMs i.e cm14 or nogut or you wont be able to flash new twrp recovery which is 3.1.0.0
Please keep in mind if you are using following twrp version then you should flash your phone with old twrp 2.8.7.0
twrp-3.0.2-0-onyx.img 14.4M 2016-04-04 23:04:23 EDT
twrp-3.0.1-0-onyx.img 14.5M 2016-04-01 04:24:54 EDT
twrp-3.0.0-1-onyx.img 14.5M 2016-02-15 23:17:25 EST
twrp-3.0.0-0-onyx.img 14.4M 2016-02-06 09:18:41 EST
above point is important look at the solution now
Solution
Step
1)flash your phone with old twrp version TWRP 2.8.7.0 using fastboot method(because we are going to install stock recovery in my case stock recovery of oneplus X lollipop version)
2)after installing stock recovery install 2.14 ver of stock ROM of oneplus X (for oneplus x devices) (for other brands eg samsung look for ur old stock recov and ROM)
3)install old Stock ROM in ur device
4)now again boot into stock recovery and install latest stock ROM (for oneplus X i installed latest oneplus X oxygen OS 3.1.4).
5)after doing above step you can install latest twrp-3.1.0-0-onyx.img without any "remote dte not found error" using fastboot.
6)once you flash twrp-3.1.0-0-onyx.img flash your phone with latest CM14 or any latest android N or nogut ROM without any problem
Note : For error code 7 some people suggested to edit udatescrip file which is not good solution and it is temporary and it wont work for all so do it as i suggested
Comman ERRORS :
1) if you are on twrp 3.x.x.x you will face Remote dte not found while booting your phone in stock recovery using fastboot
so first of all flash your phone with old twrp 2.8.7.0.
2)Do not wipe your internal storage in frustration it will create more problems because you wont be able to transfer files into your phone to flash it (Use OTG cable or SD card if u did it already).P.S you can do it afterwards
Do i need to install stock recovery of stock ROM ? some help would really be appreciated
i can install all twrp upto "twrp3020 " version
but if i try to flash greater version like twrp3021 or twrp3100 m getting same error
i need new twrp because i am not able to flash Android N custome roms i am getting an error code 7 when i am installing ROM
Follow the mega unbrick guide, then update your bootloader then flash latest twrp.

are you on stock recovery right now ?
Finaly the Lv.2 support got it back working via "our" msm unbrick tool (Still got it on my drive =D)
but learned nothing - trying to get lineageOS again.
The recovery is now TWRP v3.1.0-0 for E1003_15_161107 (it works for now on a backup..)
But... i must say - I'm very worried that i cant flash lineage again..
I dont know what the trick is...
