Flashing twrp on stock v20i

So I came from a stock lollipop Tmobile h811 non rooted
To stock MM v20i.
Ive tried flashing twrp 3.0 for cm13, and no matter what,
I get failed: (remote unknown command at the end after it sends recovery.
Its already unlocked(bootloader)
Thanks.

Type: fastboot boot (path goes here)
You can drag and drop the twrp img into the command window. This will ensure you have the correct path

That link doesn't really solve the OP's issue. I have the same issue. BUT - your link did show me that I can BOOT the .img file, I can't flash the .img file. I've verified the bootloader is unlocked by the fastboot getvar command.
I'm not sure what to do next. Installing OpenGapps causes a boot loop and the only thing I can do at this point is a factory reset with the OEM recovery since in the boot loop adb is unresponsive.

The instruction shows how to flash recovery.img with TWRP though I have no clue how to do it.

I got that error the first time I did it, it was because of a misspelling of the command.

If you already unlocked the bootloader, while in fastboot, you only type "fastboot boot" + "path to twrp img on computer" OR instead of typing out the path, you may drag and drop the file into the command window.
Once it boots to twrp, flash twrp from within the booted img. That ensures you have permanent twrp.
If you were able to unlock your bootloader, the only thing stopping you from loading twrp is improper spelling and path to the img. Almost every error I have seen is from not following the directions.

OK, just so I understand correctly, the proper sequence of events is to use fastboot to boot TWRP (which I can do) then, once in TWRP, I can then flash the twrp .zip file, right? Does anyone know if the LG's bootloader overwrites the recovery partition upon boot (in other words, do I have to boot straight to recovery after I flash to ensure it sticks?)
Sorry for the obtuse questions, I've got a lot of experience with Samsung flashing back in the KK and LP days, but not MM.
Thanks in advance!!

So you have flashed 20i which overwrites twrp with the stock recovery.
You then go through the steps for unlocking the boot loader.
After the boot loader is unlocked, you may boot into twrp with the fastboot boot command.
When that boots into twrp, flash twrp from within that to have it stick.

Have a question and maybe someone can help. Me getting carried away installed twrp from external partition. Now i cannot boot into recovery. Tried flashing using flashify and twrp manager. but flashify does not install after reboot and there is no option for h811 in twrp manager. Anyway to fix this?

Yes, that's exactly the steps I do. I've flashed 20i. I used fastboot to boot into twrp. I then "install" the twrp zip file. Says it flashes with no issues. I then reboot the phone. Still has stock recovery.
I've confirmed my bootloader is unlocked with the fastboot getvar all. I've also tried all three versions of twrp available (.1, .2 and .3) and still doesn't work. Yet twrp works fine if I boot it.

How did you confirm you have stock recovery? Did you use adb reboot recovery? Or did you use hardware keys to boot to it? Because if you use hardware keys you still get the initial confirm factory reset. You just have to accept then it boots to twrp.

If boot loader is unlocked you should load twrp from fastboot.

Hahaha now that's funny!! I bet I've been through 50 blog posts on various sites to try to figure this out. Having successfully installed Viper I didn't want to take the chance and pass that confirm wipe factory question.

I'm glad it all worked out! :good:

finding I have to re-flash with flashify each time
using twrp-2.8.7.1, I get only the first reboot from there with hardware keys letting me into twrp after accepting the first factory reset prompt and denying the second. After that cant do it again unless I re-flash. Same thing happens if I flash it from within twrp. Can use terminal, su, boot recovery and I am in., or ADB/fatsboot Primarily worried about a soft brick condition. H-811, v1 20i stock, unlocked bootloader and rooted. DE-bloated,
Any Ideas, Thanks

You drop the twrp file
In fastboot folder open command prompt and flash twrp first just rename it simply to recovery.img while in the fastboot folder
Type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Or just fastboot flash recovery.img
Then it should boot you into twrp
Once booting into twrp flash the supersu zip in your internal sd
Once you have root and reboot all you have to do is use flashify app and download twrp from the app and flash it Twrp sticks from there.

Re-Lock bootloader?

I unlocked my bootloader, installed twrp and several roms to try them out, then decided to go back to stock. Currently have OOS 3.5.4 installed with stock recovery (that came with the toolkit). However, whenever I try to lock the booltloader again, the phone won't boot up. It will bootloop, or just stay off with the led glowing white. I tried to sideload the stock ROM from OnePlus, but it fails after about 45% completion. I tried both 3.5.3 and 3.5.4 and both fail after about 45%. The only way to get the phone to boot again is by unlocking the bootloader again, then it boots just fine. Tried unlocking with the toolkit as well as fastboot oem lock. Both give me the prompt on the phone, then wipe the phone and go into the bootloop.
Any suggestions on how to re-lock the bootloader? I want to be able to get the OTA update, which I think will fail with an unlocked bootloader. Note, I have also tried loading the Nougat update from settings - system update - local upgade (both full and update) and they also fail to load shortly after booting to recovery.
Thanks,
TR

Instead of using the toolkit, try just doing it manually.
fastboot oem lock IS the correct way to lock the bootloader.
If you're running into all those issues, try to reflash the stock rom from the official site. OR try this
NOTE: This WILL wipe everything on your phone so make a backup first!
First Unlock booloader​1. On your phone go into Developer screen (Settings --> Developer Options)
If you don't have this go back to Settings --> About Device. Tap "Build number" 7-10 times to unlok developer options
2. In Developer Options turn on "USB Debugging" and "OEM Unlock"
3. Open ADB in command prompt and go to the directory where ADB is.
Type adb reboot bootloader
4. Once your device is in fastboot mode, type in fastboot devices to make sure your device is listed
5. Type in fastboot oem unlock to unlock your device bootloader
You can check to make sure it was properly unlocked by typing in fastboot oem device-info.
6. Reboot into your system
Files we need​7. Download the following files:
TWRP - https://build.nethunter.com/test-builds/twrp/oneplus/twrp-3.0.2-0-oneplus3t.img
No-verity-opt-encrypt - https://build.nethunter.com/android-tools/no-verity-opt-encrypt/no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.0.zip
Magisk - http://tiny.cc/latestmagisk
Phh-Superuser - https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3988488&d=1483407725
Latest Stable Nougat Rom - http://otafsc.h2os.com/patch/amazon...s3TOxygen_28_OTA_035_all_1612310259_2dc0c.zip
8. Copy all the files to your phone (keep the original on your pc just in case)
9. Load back up to fastboot mode
In ADB type adb reboot bootloader
10. Flash twrp img we downloaded above by typing
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-oneplus3t.img
11. After this reboot into the system
Install all of our downloaded files through TWRP​12. Now boot into recovery by issuing the following ADB command
adb reboot recovery (you should go into TWRP)
13. Once you're in twrp flash the "no-verity-opt-encrypt-5.0.zip" file OR you can format the data partition to f2fs to prevent the dm-verity error.
14. Now install the stock stable nougat rom we downloaded above
15. Do a factory system wipe / cache & dalvik
16. Install magisk through TWRP
17. Wipe cache/dalvik
18. Install phh SuperUser
19. Now reboot into the system normally.
NOTE: This *COULD* take a while since you did a clean install of nougat so just be patient and you should be good to go after this.

Thanks for the reply.
I did do fastboot oem lock, and it results in an unbootable system. fastboot oem unlock makes it bootable again. Not sure why. Also, whenever I do adb sideload <any_rom> it fails after about 45%. Not sure what's happening. Your instructions would get me to Nougat with TWRP and an unlocked bootloader, which may be what I end up doing, but I was trying to get back to fully stock, and locked again, so that OTA's will work properly. If nothing else works, I will go the route you suggest above.
Thanks again!

I just figured I'd try to get you to a working system/phone. After you get all that working you can probably lock your bootloader back to default. Now, I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that if you have a custom recovery you will need to restore that to stock as well before setting the bootloader back to locked.

I also have the same problem, after the bootloader lock the phone does not start.
I tried with all the possible procedures, also even the rom flash in local and sideload it does not work, It comes to 45% and then fails.
we will highlight the problem, so everyone will know and maybe there is a solution

But of course, you can't relock phone with a non standard recovery. Replace TWRP with the ROMs real recovery and relock will work again.

That's what I figured. Thanks for the confirmation.

Use the unbrick tutorial to go back to stock
This is what i did

I'm sorry, even with the stock recovery but does not work, it was the first thing I did

You can a unbick tutorial. It worked for my OnePlus 3T. Just search up How to unbrick (whatever OnePlus device you have) on Google. Then follow all the instructions carefully. If you need help with it I could try to do a remote session with you. Edit: It will erase all data and you will boot with oos 3.5.3 ( I also had the same issue as you. But I couldn't install any zip with stock recovery or adb side load.

Only if you have modified the phone in some way or another (like rooting and installing twrp) before trying to re-lock.
If you keep it stock, you should be able to re-lock. Or else, just use the Qualcomm restore method to re-lock.

tried this
OK what i did was when the phone was starting and vibrating I push the power bottom and volume down bottom at the same time ,then i connected the phone to the PC,from the panel in the phone there are 3 categories to erase everything on the phone I did it all(1,2,3) and then I put the phone in ADB mode from the control panel in the phone,After that I flash via fastboot the original .zip from one plus for the version 4.0.3 (1.4 GB) ,when it finished I restarted and the phone started normal again,I hope this help someone alse,I was so desesperated:silly:.

I think the problem in re-locking it is the modified boot image. Locked bootloaders don't support those.

re-locking bootloader will getback the warranty ???

Unlocking the bootloader does not void the warranty on this device:
https://oneplus.net/support/answer/will-rooting-or-unlocking-the-bootloader-void-my-warranty

Once I have root, is there a command to re-lock and later eventually unlock the bootloader again?
I remember this was possible with google nexus devices, there was a shell command (require root) that was able to change bootloader status

[SOLVED] Stuck into TWRP 3.0.4-0

Hi,
Due to an unsuccessful decryption during the boot process, I had to format data.
I pushed a custom ROM to my phone and flashed it from TWRP.
I can't reboot to Android now. Each time I try to reboot I go back to TWRP...
How to solve it?
Thanks.
@mad-murdock @nvertigo67 could you help guys?

Same issue
---------- Post added at 10:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------
try this
n your ROM, go to Settings -> About device. Tap 7 times on Build number to enable Developer options.
Now go to Settings -> Developer options. (above About device)
You need to enable OEM unlock, otherwise you might end up with boot problems or be unable to flash later on.
Reboot your device into fastboot mode. To do this, select reboot from the power menu and hold the [Volume Up] + [Power] buttons while your device reboots or boots from power off.
Once you're in fastboot mode, you need to unlock your bootloader. To do this, run the command:
fastboot oem unlock
WARNING: Unlocking your bootloader will erase all userdata on the device! Your device will be completely reset to factory defaults!
Once your bootloader is unlocked, you're ready to flash TWRP. To do this, run the command (replacing twrp.img with the actual image name):
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Once the image is flashed, you should use your volume keys to navigate to RECOVERY and the press the power key to select it.
At this point, you will reach the screen asking you if you want to allow system modifications.
By swiping right, you will trigger dm-verity, and if you don't follow the next step you will be unable to boot!
If you are going to root your device and follow the rest of these steps, then it is safe to swipe right and enable modifications.
If your device asks for a password to mount internal storage, and your password doesn't work or you haven't set one, see below under known issues for a fix!
If you want to be rooted with SuperSU:
Download the latest SuperSU Stable by Chainfire.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the SuperSU zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
---or (not both) ---
If you want to be rooted with something else or just want a bootable system:
Download the latest dm-verity and forced encryption disabler zip.
Without exiting TWRP, transfer the no-verity-opt-encrypt zip to your device over MTP* and flash it using [Install] in TWRP.
This will also allow you to use [Format Data] to completely disable your encryption if desired.
Go to [Reboot] -> [System].

This is the TWRP thread... How can it help in my situation?
I flashed the dm-verity and forced encryption disabler zip, wiped all data and a custom rom. It doesn't help.

In twrp: Advanced->Terminal
In Terminal type wipe_misc and press enter. Reboot to system.
EDIT: this erases misc partition by dding /dev/zero to misc partition. (I've tested both, wipe_misc sceipt as well as dd by hand - it's safe; you will not loose anything [if there would be something on data... SCNR ])

Stay on twrp (3.0.3-1). Wipe art, system, data and cache. Flash full 4.0.2. Go to twrphome->mount and check if system is unmounted (*)- if so: boot to system; if system is mounted reboot to recovery and dirty flash (without any wipe) full 4.0.2 again; boot to system.
Whenever I had this boot to recovery but not to system, wipe_misc was allways sufficient.
BTW: disconnect usb before rebooting. otg-sticks as well charger result sometimes in unpredictable reboot behavior.
(*) I've still not found what's triggering this, but if after flashing system is mounted, you can't boot directly into system, and twrp tells you on reboot, that no system is installed, even if you just flashed a rom...

I ran into a similar problem with mine yesterday / today with 3.0.4-0....after countless tests, it came down to holding down the power button for 20s and releasing (hard shut down)...wait 20s, hold power for it to come back on, ROM loaded up.
I tried every boot option from TWRP, and just kept looping.
Give this a try, as trivial as it seems, fixed it for me.

I've flashed Tesla ROM and the phone boots. I'm charging my phone to enable encryption then I'll see how to set a boot password (without any issues this time lol).

I set a password to encrypt my data and flashed TWRP 3.0.1-0 again.
I'm not able to decrypt my data in TWRP...
After a reboot, the ROM doesn't recognize my password anymore. I'm fed up with encryption!

imo just the unbrick tool to go back to fully stock and start the whole process again

I had this issue with the password.
I had to flash the stock recovery, go into stock recovery, it will ask you for the password, just choose forgot password and it will prompt to format everything. Click yes to accept. After it formats, flash the custom twrp recovery. Once it flashes, load recovery and flash the 3.5.4 bootloader here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70393513&postcount=72
OR you can boot into bootloader/fastboot and type in these commands:
fastboot oem disable_dm_verity
fastboot oem enable_dm_verity

Thanks but I'll just enjoy my phone for now. Encryption can wait.
Only these two fastboot commands will avoid the wrong password issue? It seems to be helpful to remove the dm-verity error and I don't have it.

Sorry I guess I misinterpreted the issue. I thought that the dm-verity and the encryption issue were somehow linked. Anyway, the first few steps I took with flashing the stock recovery and wiping everything from stock recovery is what fixed the immediate encryption issue for me.

Redmi 4X bootloop after installing TWRP?

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble. I had a brand new Redmi 4X, and I was advised to install TWRP, root it, and install the Xiaomi.eu rom until LineageOS is released. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, managed to get into it once and now I can't do it again. When TWRP loaded it asked me for a password for decryption but it let me just skip it it seems (not sure if that is the problem) but now I can't boot normally, I can't boot into recovery, but fastboot seems to work okay. How do I go about fixing this?
I've tried reflashing TWRP but I still can't get to it, and I don't really know enough about this stuff to know where I've gone wrong.
UPDATE - I think this is to do with dm-verity and having the stock kernel installed. Now it's too late to undo what I've already done, so I hope to god that someone knows how to fix this.
UPDATE - Right, the problem is solved I think. I had to do an awful lot of googling, and I'm not entirely sure what it was specifically that fixed it. But I found a guide that taught me the fastboot command "fastboot boot twrp.img" which saved the day. Even when my phone wouldn't let me into recovery, it allowed me to flash a no-verity.zip which i think is what allowed me to boot, and it allowed me to flash superSU.zip and then the ROM I was aiming for. And now I've booted into the ROM successfully and hopefully I am rooted and all is well. Plus I can access TWRP as normal now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can you boot into TWRP by pressing the buttons so that you boot directly to TWRP??
Have you tried Command Prompt to boot with commands in to recovery??
And if you get into TWRP you should have everything on the SDCard and then just
format all things except SDCard and then flash from SDCard everything
That is what I would try..and yes it ask for a password but just skip it to get to it
If you can get into TWRP to flash from SDCard then you good to go..if not
Google all the commands for CMD..and plug your phone to the PC and flash everything with the
commands.....
Let us know what is working and what not and what steps exectly you are doing
EDIT
Turn off your device > Press and hold “Power” and “Volume +” buttons at the same time.
After short vibration signal release the power button and wait for TWRP to start.
To boot in stock recovery open “Update” app.
In the setting select “Boot in recovery”.

Can you boot into TWRP by pressing the buttons so that you boot directly to TWRP??
Have you tried Command Prompt to boot with commands in to recovery??
And if you get into TWRP you should have everything on the SDCard and then just
format all things except SDCard and then flash from SDCard everything
That is what I would try..and yes it ask for a password but just skip it to get to it
If you can get into TWRP to flash from SDCard then you good to go..if not
Google all the commands for CMD..and plug your phone to the PC and flash everything with the
commands.....
Let us know what is working and what not and what steps exectly you are doing

Thanks for the reply. I can't get into TWRP. Even if I could get into TWRP how would I get files on the phone to flash them?
Is it possible to flash any rom from the pc directly and if it is will this possibly help? I think it's not booting because the kernel is still stock.
I'm not sure what you mean in the edit, how do I boot into stock recovery without being able to boot the phone (and when I have already flashed TWRP)?

Hii
I just have been reading about this bootloop
Go over here and read all of the 6 pages..will not take much time but could help you out much
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-redmi-4x/development/official-twrp-3-2-1-0-xiaomi-redmi-4x-t3718217

Hey, I have exactly the same problem. Latest stock rom, flashed twrp in fastboot and got into the boot loop. Nothing works. I can only enter fastboot. What exactly did you do then? What is this no-verity.zip? I can't find anything about it.

I had a problem
I unlocked bootloader then installed redwolf recovery and took a nandroid backup. After that i rebooted to system but stuck into bootloop, could not boot to recovery, could not boot into system, So the only thing worked was that i flashed fastboot rom with mi flasher. And syccessfully rebooted to system with bootloader locked and stock recovery. So, if anyone have same problem you can do the same. How do i install recovery safely again? Should i use TWRP only? Should i flash v3.1.0 with lazy flasher or v3.2 directly without lazy flasher? I don't want to stuck into bootloader again, have to get all data deleted.

Cant Flash back to MR1 from MR2 to get arter, magisk & twrp.

I can only seem to get into fastboot mode with a Menu saying:
Restart Bootloader
Unlock Bootloader (Unlocked)
Wipe Userdata
Exit
I haven't been able to get to any download mode at all, just this menu and stock recovery, can someone please give me instructions on this? I've gotten different files and ways to root this from many different threads and I'm confused as hell.
Never rooted this RP2 before, it's on latest OTA MR2-RC001-RZR-190914.3123. Got it unlocked before and it's been unlocked for a while but didn't go further with rooting because I got confused and didn't want to brick my expensive phone. Last phone I rooted was back on kitkat or lollipop before I switched to iPhone, so I'm not a total noob just rusty. But Razer got me back to Android and it''s changed alot. I need detailed advice please. :good: And if my instinct is telling me correctly I'd assume something is changed about the bootloader in MR2 thats affecting me right now?

That menu is the bootloader/download mode.

Have you unlocked critical partition?
https://developer.razer.com/razer-p...6.1692205032.1582602359-1206928491.1581902985
Razer recommends you use a USB 3 Type-A to Type-C spec-compliant cable for any device flashing.
THE CABLE THAT CAME WITH THE PHONE WILL NOT WORK.
If you have everything unlocked then make sure you do this
https://s3.amazonaws.com/cheryl-fac...stall_Android_Fastboot_Drivers_on_Windows.pdf
Or install using this tool
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/tool-adb-fastboot-installer-tool-windows-t3999445
If you make it this far then it's a matter of typing in the correct path in fastboot.
fastboot flash boot "arter97 name here".img
Then from the fastboot menu scroll down to boot to recovery or type fastboot reboot recovery
TWRP should boot if you installed the correct kernel.
In TWRP hit cancel then swipe to make modifications and install magisk 20.3
Profit

Okay so I couldn't flash anything originally simply because i didn't have Bootloader Interface installed. Figured that out and had everything working, unlocked, Arter Kernel 12, Magisk 20.3, EdXposed, and now after I edited build.prop to enable my regular hotspot without carrier permission and reboot. Well now I really can't flash sh?t. Even though I can get into bootloader & Recovery, when I try to fastboot flash MR1 Stock or MR2 stock just to get back into the phone it freezes on the razer logo and eventually reboots and repeats. Then i have to Reflash arter to get back into TWRP after I try to flash anything else which otherwrites Arter97.img. Finally read the red text in TWRP and /data was refusing to mount, fixed that by a basic ass wipe (DUH) Hoping that might have been the issue, my data folder was corrupt or my old data folder was mismatching with the rest of the new roms i tried to flash? Idk someone smarter plz tell me. So far my next attempt is going to be downloading a flashable Stock Deodoxed ZIP to see if flashing from within TWRP now that /Data will mount makes a difference compared to Fastboot. Tried fastboot flashing MR1 and MR2 Normal Razer Stock Rom after data remounted and now i can get to the green vortex/visualizer screen instead of just the Razer Logo before it STILL loops and then when it loops again a second time it sends me to TWRP automatically.

Will it not let you flash stock using flash_all.bat file while in fastboot mode?
I would definitely try and start over for sure if possible
