Why would fastboot devices show all question marks, but adb devices gives me the proper serial number? I was able to unlock the bootloader, but thats it. I cannot flash TWRP to root.

normal recovery flash would be fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
that ells it what to do and into which partition it will go, so if you are only wanting it for a one time use, not a permanent flash, it would be fastboot boot recovery recoveryname.img you told it to boot instead of flash, and told it where it needs to be applied(recovery). hows that wrong?

Indeed. I've only done it once myself. I don't see the need to, as I like to be prepared and to not rely on computer in case something how's wrong and I need recovery.

do you have TWRP Recovery ?
if so with the usb-otg plugged in boot to TWRP
then go to restore, then where it says internel storage click it and choose usb-otg and it will mount the usb
go back to restore and your stuff should be their

once you have done those commands, you will have to correct recovery to be able to successfully install ARHD 41.0.
once you are in TWRP 2.6.3.3 or .4 then you still need to "install" the ROM. (assuming you do not have a Sprint or Verizon phone)

Allways do a md5 check before fashing any recovery, rom or kernel. Any minor bit error could give you massive problems.
Just google MD5 checker and down a program or your pc, or use the md5 checker app from app-store.

Hello,
I recently flashed the latest TWRP beta for the OxygenOS 4.0.1 on my phone which has an unlocked bootloader. I managed to boot into recovery immediately after flashing the .img through my PC, so that's how I was able to install my SuperSU.
However, since I booted into the OS, anytime I'm trying to enter the TRWP recovery again, I'm stuck in the stock recovery which doesn't let me install anything. So the only way for me to boot into TWRP recovery is using my PC. Can anybody help me to fix that?
Thanks!
What command are you using to install TWRP to your bootpartition?
I think the correct one is something like:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (file name).img

Thanks for your reply! Exactly. And after installing it, I used the command 'fastboot boot TWRP.img", and that brought me into TWRP recovery. But I could only get there this way and still had the stock recovery.

From what I understand, the command 'fastboot boot twrp.img' will boot the specified recovery once, but won't flash it to the device. So it has nothing to do with the recovery that is actually on your device. Perhaps something went wrong when you actually flashed twrp and it wasn't written at all.

Thanks for both your replies. Yes, I did. An indicator is also that every time I boot up my system it even warns me that the bootloader is unlocked.

Well, I flashed the twrp by booting into fastboot mode and then typing 'fastboot flash recovery twrp.img'. I don't know what's wrong there, so maybe you could help me out?

Unfortunately then I don't know how to help Because that's exactly what I did and I got TWRP running without any problem. If you flash via 'fastboot flash recovery' command will it be on the device after you reboot for the first time?
i remember, once i couldn't boot into recovery either when i used fastboot command. Then I flash recovery using tool below and it worked for me.

Apparently, you were right. I just wiped my device (accidentaly ) and flashed TWRP again, basically did the same steps as before, but now it works. Seems like somehow the installation of TWRP just failed on the first try. Thanks for your help!

Ok you installed this cm recovery with twrp?
android is not booting. (v21)
the cm recovery does boot but not allow install anything.
And fastboot is loading.
probably need to fastboot flash boot.img , I will share a superSU patched version. (you do not need to root system if not wanted, but patched boot is needed to boot a moddified system)
and fastboot flash twrp.
download this zip.
extract files to your desktop
use these fastboot commands to test first
This one to boot the phone

I am not aware of any zip file available to flash the way that guide had you try.
As it stands you wiped boot and system.
I am away from PC so typing is not as easy. I will be more detailed when I return.
Basically I suggest you to "flash" the boot.img I sent.
Then "boot" the recovery.
If the recovery then boots. Install a rom from my modifes stock roms thread.
oki i try install recovery but it same thing it go to white screen and restart again and again
i will wait for you to help me more thanks ><

So this is what i suggest
use the files i gave before, unzipped to desktop.
This one to Flash boot.img
Code:
fastboot flash boot %userprofile%\Desktop\su-boot.img
This one to boot twrp.img
Code:
fastboot boot %userprofile%\Desktop\twrp_p6601_7.1_recovery.img
I expect that to give you a working twrp environment. Then go to linked thread and install really any version you want. But as you said you were on V21, so pick that one I supose.
