Hi everyone,
I was on Cyanogenmod and had disabled bootloader unlocking from development settings. After trying to update, I'm now stuck in recovery. While rebooting, the oneplus logo appears but later it just reboots to recovery. In fastboot, I can't flash anything because it says the bootloader is locked (I obviously can't fix that from settings because the phone won't boot). I'm able to get into TWRP so is there a way to enable bootloader unlocking using it?

Go to fastboot and boot into stock recovery, don't install. Just boot to recovery, command should be something like below.
fastboot boot recovery-name.img
If you can go to opx recovery, flash stock rom and see

Have you tried going through the steps for unlocking bootloader again?

That didn't work. Had to flash the stock rom, re-enable unlocking, unlock and flash.

I have the same problem, stuck in recovery, can't unlock, but worse: For some reason I have Cyanogenmod recovery installed, not TWRP. Now, can't install any stock rom. Tried from SD card and by sideload, but it seems that it just doesnt "stick" to /system. So, I am stuck in recovery, can't install CM, and can't unlock, to install TWRP.
Any ideas, other than getting a new phone tomorrow morning?
Thanks

Ah no. You'll probably need to find someone who can re-sign CM so that it'll flash.
Thanks for the answer, I have no idea how to do this, how is this done? I don't seem to find much info online...

NO Need To Worry by following this procedure you are going to install stock recovery. first, you have to download this zip.
link - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087019810
after downloading this zip copy and extract it on your desktop (PC or Laptop). now switch OFF your opx and connect it with your pc by pressing vol Up button, you will find that pc installing some drivers if it install the drivers then you are going right. now after connecting your opx to pc open the extracted folder and open "MsmDownloadTool V2.0" . on opening this you will see the list of attached devices (for ex. com device and if your device is not connected then it will show No device). If you your device is attached then you have to click on START Tab on left top corner. it takes 30 ~ 40 Sec to complete the whole process after that your opx restart with installed stock recovery. through this recovery you can flash H2OS and OOS. If you want to install TWRP first of all you have to install oos or H20s after flashing, you have to allow oem unlock in developer setting.

Thank you. I had tried this procedure previosuly, and didn't work. This time, since you insisted, I tried again, on another computer, and the phone was correctly detected, drivers installed and factory image installed on phone. I am happy again
Hey guys, I'm facing an issue right now.
I had a rooted OPX with TWRP and Lolipop. I downloaded the new OOS 3.1.3 from OnePlus site, flashed it. There was an error, fixed it by updating updater-script. Flashed the zip, then just after that flashed SuperSU zip and TWRP image over recovery. I don't know why I did that but that's the order. Then I forgot to wipe Dalvik/Cache and rebooted into recovery...It stuck in OnePlus Logo screen with powered by android written at bottom. Then I tried to boot into System by pressing the power button, it got stuck in the boot animation (The new one in Marshmallow update). It just keeps rotating infinitely (I think). I have waited for about 30 minutes on that screen, no luck.
What should I do? Is there a way that fastboot mode would be recognized by my PC and I can boot into recovery via image? Or any way for factory reset? Data is all backed up, so no issue about that. Just need it to get running asap.
Please reply asap.
Thanks for reading.
Did you try booting into recovery or fastboot manually ?
For recovery - hold all 3 keys, when OnePlus logo comes, then leave Vol Up key and hold the other 2.
Do the same but leave the Vol Down key for fast boot.
If either of this works then you can recover easily.

Just as I mentioned, booting into recovery doesn't work. Stuck at the OnePlus Logo Screen if I do that manually.
Though I can boot into fastboot. But after doing that, when I connect the phone to the PC, fastboot devices command returns an empty line.
We get so caught up in custom recovery and such that we forget about what people would normally do who don't mod. Simplest safest way to upgrade bootloader or downgrade is by using original stock recovery. Now your gonna probably need to go through the hard brick guide.

Yeah, I did for the first time.
I think I now know what went wrong. For future viewers -
Do NOT ever Flash Recovery Image through your recovery. Always use fastboot.
Something weird happened. I managed to flash recovery, update to OOS 3.1.3. Then for rooting, I downloaded TWRP and SuperSU zip from the links here http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-x/general/discussion-how-to-root-oneplus-x-t3242830.
But as soon as I flashed SuperSU, I got stuck in Bootanimation again. Why is this happening??

You have to use the modded SuperSU. You can find it in the many guides posted for oos3.
I'm trying to get Magisk to work on a Samsung S2 Tablet SM-T713. I don't think it's relevant, but I'm running LineageOS 16.0 (the 4/5/19 nightly), and TWRP 3.2.3. I had enabled OEM Unlocking before I installed either of those.
I installed Magisk Manager 7.1.1on the tablet. I pulled the stock boot.img from a stock installation image (T713XXU2BRB2_T713OXA2BRA1, which was the same firmware I had before upgrading to LineageOS). I then used Magisk Manager 7.1.1 to create a patched boot.img. I then used TWRP to flash the patched boot image to the boot partition.
The result is that my tablet is now bricked at the initial boot screen (the one that says "Samsung Galaxy Tab S2") with an error in the corner that says "Set Warranty Bit: kernel".
I'm assuming that once the battery runs down I'll be able to boot into either recovery or Odin download mode and re-flash the boot image. Since having a non-removable battery makes trial and error very slow (since I need to let the battery run down before I can reboot), I'd really like to understand what I'm doing wrong before I try installing Magisk again.
All of the threads I've seen about people installing Magisk on the T713 are from last year. Is anyone still using that combination? Even if you're not, I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks in advance for any help.

I wound up having to let the battery run out. Then I had to do finger acrobatics to hold down the buttons for download mode while I plugged in a USB cable attached to my computer. That allowed me to use Odin to install a stock boot image.
I ultimately figured out that the problem was that my data partition had automatically re-encrypted itself. I found I had to use TWRP to wipe my data partition, then immediately use TWRP to install Magisk so that my bootloader wouldn't force encryption. A reboot between those two steps screws things up.
How to fix stuck on splash screen when TWRP 3.4.0-0 is installed permanently
I've tried several ways myself to get it up and running. As long as the device is encrypted, TWRP cannot start. It gets stuck in an infinite loop. The keymaster-3-0 service starts, but it is stopped immediately. It continues like this in a never ending loop. The only solution is to fully decrypt the device. At least this worked for me.
THE FOLLOWING STEPS WILL DELETE ALL YOUR DATA! IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR ENCRYPTED DATA IN TWRP AND RESTORE IT ON A DECRYPTED PARTITION! USE TITANIUM BACKUP OR SIMILAR SOLUTIONS! YOUR DEVICE WILL BE RESET TO FACTORY SETTINGS!!
>>> *** UPDATED (see 5. ) *** <<<
Installation guide: (pay attention to keep this order!!)
1. Backup your data!!
2. Boot TWRP via fastboot:
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.4.0-0-evert.img
3. Format data to remove encryption. Wipe > Format Data > type 'yes' and swipe to confirm.
4. Flash the Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt.zip
!!! 5. Disable HAB verification by flashing this .zip hab_disabler.zip !!! (*)
6. Flash the TWRP installer.zip
7. Install Magisk (optional)
8. Reboot to system and enjoy!
(*) HAB (High Assurance Boot) is a second verification process/service. It checks /system and /oem partition. The hab_disabler.zip will delete/patch the related files. (for further information see "update-binary")
During first boot...
...your device will reboot once. Don't panic, that's quite normal!
...animation after "Hello Moto" will take 2-3 min.

The problem has been fixed!!
I rebooted several times from system to recovery and vice versa. Magisk and TWRP (installed permanently) work fine. No issues known yet.
Everything working fine, after flashed permanently TWRP,
Magisk Manager also work fine the main issue here
If we flash magisk Manager using TWRP
You can restart the device several time working fine.
If we open magisk Manager and enable magisk hide for apps , then restart the device stuck on boot logo..
If we flash magisk Manager and don't open magisk Manager it will be working fine no issue , if we open magisk Manager then close after we restart the device stuck on boot logo.
If you find any solution about this then good. Otherwise please don't spent valueable time on it,
This devices create more problems only
Moto G6 Plus
Thanks for work.

It works fine fir me. I enabled Magisk Hide to hide some apps but my device doesn't loop after that.
Did you use the updated method?
- Magisk was repacked with new name
- Magisk Hide enabled
- modules installed
- rebooted to recovery and then to system => no looping
- rebooted the device normally => no looping
At this moment I'm using my G6+

Since recovery is inside the boot partition Lineage implements a own recovery for their boot.img

Yes, it's normal. I don't know why they do that... The only useful function there is ADB and that's all.
But you can replace them with TWRP, that's absolutely no problem. Reboot into bootloader and boot your twrp.img to install it.

Hi i install pixel experence rom and im having a problem i canflash anything from my device, storage dont shows corrrct size and, shows binders with aleaty names with nothing inside, and i can't transfer with USB
I was a Mi A2 user for a while, now I'm moving to Note 9 Pro and I feel a bit lost because of lacking of guides and tools.
I encounter some unexpected issues with disabling phone encryption. In short, I followed the steps I used for my Mi A2, but it seemed only working partially, and I encountered boot loop when upgrading ROM afterwards.
The details are as follow:
I have Note 9 Pro global (joyeuse), originally it was on stock ROM V11.0.5.0.QJZMIXM
After unlocking bootloader, I booted to TWRP with TWRP-3.4.1B-joyeuse-fix.img (from https://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/custom-twrp-3-4-1b-for-redmi-note-9-pro-joyeuse.56896/ ) and flashed Magisk, then Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt_03.04.2020.zip (from https://zackptg5.com/android.php#disverfe )
Everything was fine, I could debloat and disable Xiaomi services, and Google Pay was working (with Magisk Hide and MagiskHide Props Config).
But when entering TWRP again, TWRP requested passcode to decrypt data, that's when I realized the phone was not decrypted. Booting to normal mode, phone Settings showed "Encrypted". But because TWRP was able to decrypt with passcode and could backup as normal, so I ignored it.
When V11.0.7.0.QJZMIXM was released, I backed up /data using TWRP and flashed the new ROM using fastboot without erasing data. Then the phone was in boot loop (it showed redmi logo then vibrated then rebooted)
I flashed back V11.0.5.0.QJZMIXM without erasing data, but it still entered boot loop.
I decided to wipe data (using TWRP and using Wipe menu in XIaomi recovery mode), but boot loop still occurred.
I flashed V11.0.7.0.QJZMIXM again, but this time without keeping data (flash_all.bat), but boot loop still occurred.
I accidentally selected flash all & lock bootloader (in MiFlashTool), then phone could boot up normally. But I lost root, and bootloader was relocked.
Additional info: In a rage, I turned on Developer mode and tapped to bind mi account, and now I have to wait 168hrs to unlock bootloader again.
Questions:
What have I done wrong that the phone entered boot loop even after wiping data?
What's the proper way of using TWRP so that I can backup data and can update ROM in the future without going through this mess again?

When V11.0.7.0.QJZMIXM was released, I backed up /data using TWRP and flashed the new ROM using fastboot without erasing data. Then the phone was in boot loop (it showed redmi logo then vibrated then rebooted)
I flashed back V11.0.5.0.QJZMIXM without erasing data, but it still entered boot loop.
I decided to wipe data (using TWRP and using Wipe menu in XIaomi recovery mode), but boot loop still occurred.
I flashed V11.0.7.0.QJZMIXM again, but this time without keeping data (flash_all.bat), but boot loop still occurred.
I accidentally selected flash all & lock bootloader (in MiFlashTool), then phone could boot up normally. But I lost root, and bootloader was re-locked.
Additional info: In a rage, I turned on Developer mode and tapped to bind mi account, and now I have to wait 168hrs to unlock bootloader again.
Questions:
What have I done wrong that the phone entered boot loop even after wiping data?
What's the proper way of using TWRP so that I can backup data and can update ROM in the future without going through this mess again?

first of all you are not the only one that faces same problems. So chears mate. Next is the TWRP and the lack of stable/working version since i have done quite few phones now i can tell that the TWRP encryption ignore is not persistent and it works while you don't touch the recovery and not booting it up. Upon the boot it triggers the encryption and although he filesystem is not encrypted it still thinks it is.
Solution for now? wait for the fixed version while this is new phone and may take some time to re-code he recovery (find the damn cause of the encryption trigger).
Anyways. I am still thinking to do the fastboot rom mod, root it while it is not flashed and hen flash it while i don't actually need. I just need to remove all the miui/xiaomi stuff, block the damn ADS and root the phone and those things can be done on a pc i am just figuring out the correct way to do i.
The idea about skipping the TWRP came right after i downloaded mi-flash tool and found out that it uses same fastboot mode to flash everything and the file structure of the rom is not packet or something. Img files can be exacted and re-packed again so everything in the image can be modified.
What i really hate is the fact that there is tons of tools for other phones but somehow Xiaomi was skipped in the device selection...
Downloaded unlock tool, nice but limited to only requesting ad unlocking the phones bootloader. Next thing is the flash tool, it is limited to only flashing. There is xiaomi tool v2 that can also install the twrp, and cause the encryption crap or download and install stock or xiaomi.eu...
What i was looking for was the tool that can take the stock, decompress it and allow you to choose the apps you want to be per-installed, add some functions to it, mod bootscreens, pre-root it and eventually pack and flash the damn thing. While you are skipping the recovery procedure you are way safer than with its crap.
Agree with me?

More than one month, 280 view, 1 comment, no solution, no answer. Everyone out there are competing with each other to create their own ROMs/recovery/kernel images with whatever catchy names they can think of. Nice. But what's the point if the basics are not yet nailed down?
BTW, Telegram channel is flooded with non-contributing chit chat.
My casual observation is that lrtwrp seems to be a common theme for those who have had major issues on Joyeuse.

For what it's worth, TWRP does not currently have any official builds for curtana OR joyeuse as far as I can tell. The flashing of early, unofficial, pre-alpha ports of TWRP directly onto partitions causing bricks is not that surprising. Xiaomi locking down EDL access is a ****ty move, but still.
