Black Screen Recovery - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

Hi, I've got a problem regarding TWRP and the recovery partition.
I have downloaded and flashed TWRP following the guide in the development section, but everytime I boot into recovery I get a black screen and the notification led glows white.
If I use the "fastboot boot" command I can access TWRP, but that's only temporary and won't work for me. I've tried flashing from fastboot in windows and flashing from the temporarily booted TWRP on the phone. If the custom recovery won't work at all, I'd at least like to get back to stock recovery.
Thx for your help!

that's why you have this problem
download 3.5.3 and flash it manually
try to open twrp via fastboot
then do a clean flash for 3.5.3
then everything will work normally

Ok, I ended up dirty flashing 3.5.3 via booted TWRP and then it worked! I'm just wondering what the rom version has to do with the recovery partition, as they - from my understanding - are two separate things and shouldn't interfere with each other.
My problem is solved though so thank you for your help!

What recovery are you running? Stock or TWRP?

TWRP
And telling TWRP to boot system just bring you back into TWRP?
Hmm... sounds like you might need to reflash whatever rom you were on.

This happened to me. I installed custom rom then I went into fastboot and installed stock recovery. I would search in this forum for the stock recovery img file. Once installed, I rebooted and it loaded the rom. I had this problem on the latest twrp version. I installed the previous twrp and I am all good now.

Thank You.
Issue has been resolved. OP is my little cousin who's been messing around a bit too frantically [emoji14]
I restored his device with the unbrick tool by Haris K., all's peachy again. There are still some issues with TWRP for 3T, doesn't run nearly as smooth as on the OPO. It completely failed to restore any working system (both from backup or from reflashing). Sideloading seemingly worked, but rebooted to recovery again, adb push only resulted in errors. Are there any tweaked TWRP releases that can do better?

OnePlus 3T Recovery Loop

Hello lovely XDA-members,
this morning a new OTA update/patch came out for my OnePlus 3T, so I downloaded and tryed to install it right away. My phone is rooted on android 7.0 and I have TWRP 3.0.3-0 installed as my recovery. Normally (when I updated to nougat) after downloading a new update the phone reboots itself into TWRP and installs the update by itself, but not this time. I had to seqrch through my phone and had to install thw update manually. After that I rebooted the phone and it started booting the TWRP recovery again, I tried it again and again and again, nothint changed. So I tried to restore my backup with everything functioning, but this wouldnt help either. :/ I read the few existing threads with this problem and heard of a recovery flag that isnt cleared and the bootloader being the problem. One solution that I found was only for an LG phone and I'm afraid that I'll brick my brand new phone I have absolutely no idea what to do now, I would be so happy if someone could help me with this :$
I thank you in advance <3
Encoutered the same problem. Either you reflash the official or twrp recovery (neither did the trick to me) or use this "emergency tool" (which helped me):
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/unbrick-guide-oneplus-3t.481214/
Btw: TWRP 3.0.3-0 is not working well, switch to 3.0.3-1 beta
Good luck to you
I had the same problem.
How you can ''unbrick it'':
1. Flash a any rom available for the oneplus 3t via twrp
a. after this you will be still in twrp bootloop, to solve this go to step 2
2. Flash back stock recovery via twrp
Now your system will boot again
Optional: Flash back twrp
Just flash stock recovery via adb and you're done. It will fix the problem, you won't lose any data

No problemos my friendos

phone not passing twrp splashscreen

I was running Freedom OS CE 2.5 and I dirty flashed official OOS 4.1.0 and got into a bootloop.
I restarted the phone into twrp and it told me that it was read only so I wasn't seeing any zip files. I tried to use repair in the Wipe section by changing file format. I think I chose FAT...I honestly can't remember. But when I swipe to repair and I got stock on updating partition. So I restarted the device into twrp again but this time I'm stock on just the splash screen....won't start.
All I'm getting into is bootloader mode.
Help please
Use fastboot to wipe recovery and flash TWRP again. Alternatively, directly sideload your ROM.

You should reformat those partitions that you've changed. Ext4 or f2fs for /data and ext4 for all other partitions. This can be done through either fastboot or TWRP.

Are these the commands I should use?
c:\adb>fastboot erase recovery
c:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp
Well as you said, after this I can reenter recovery and reformat the partitions and I should be fine right?

3.0.4-1 has proven to be the most stable so far.
I've also been using 3.1.0-1 for a while and haven't noticed any issues.
Avoid 3.1.0.0 though, as there has been many reports of issues with it.

MY PHONE IS RUNNING AGAIN! thanks for your help man.
Btw! Seeing that the positions were somewhat corrupted, I actually had to use stock recovery to sideload the stock ROM then flash TWRP and finally on freedom is 2.6.1
Thanks again, mate. :highfive:

I faced a similar issue with twrp , just try to flash twrp again using fastboot mode , in case it does not work again then try to flash it a few more times , it would surely work , I have already tried it , but before that try to factory reset ur phone using twrp and reboot to twrp and only use the first method if the problem exists after that

Stuck in Oneplus logo. Can't access recovery. Fastboot working.

Hi everyone.
I was trying to flash Nitrogen OS. First I flashed the latest firmware, then the actual rom and then GAPPS. After that my mobile got stuck in Oneplus logo without being able to go into recovery mode.
I tried using fastboot to flash the files in this thread(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/unbrick-unbrick-tutorial-oneplus-3t-t3515306) which worked once, but even after that I can't surpass the logo screen.
I've been trying to look for information but I can't find anything.
To clarify:
- I already tried erasing userdata and cache from fastboot
-I already tried flashing recovery images from twrp, stock and bluspark
Thanks in advance guys.

Which TWRP are you using? Which firmware are you flashing? You can't access recovery at all? I've run into plenty of bricks like this and I'm usually able to get back to recovery by forcing the device off (vol up + power hold) and rebooting back to recovery. and if that doesn't work I can at least get to the bootloader and re-flash a recovery file.

I was using last bluspark recovery. I was flashing OB21 when everything happened.
There is no way I can access to recovery. I tried reflashing the stock recovery from that unbricking thread with all the other things through fastboot and I can't boot into recovery at all. It is the first time I face this error so I am lost.

okay, well what I would do is boot into the bootloader, and then reflash the blu_spark recovery via adb so you can boot into it. then wipe everything and restart. but this time I would try the OB 20 firmware and not the 21. when I was on NOS I used that one and it worked just fine. I'm not sure if it made a difference, but I flashed the firmware both right before and right after flashing NOS

make sure that recovery img file is in the platform-tools file (or wherever your adb files are) and see if that works!

I mean idk if you wanna do this, but you could always try to "format userdata", then flash the stock recovery, and then sideload OOS. but you would lose all of your data in your internal storage, and it's still not a guarantee. there are some posts about doing a full wipe and starting from scratch. I'd look into those. Best of luck reviving your OP3T

I already post a lot of information on the first post:
Mobile not passing the first time Oneplus logo appears.
Only fastboot is working, not adb, not recovery.
I already tried flashing other recoveries and the stock one->Can't pass Oneplus logo anyway
Tried formatting userdata through fastboot and flashing the .img files from my first post->Not working
Then just do the Qualcomm restore and unlock, boot to fastboot and flash the latest TWRP. Then boot into TWRP and format cache partitions, system and data and then adb sideload using this option under TWRP advanced to flash firmware zip, NitrogenOS zip and then 8.1 Gapps and try booting to see if same thing happens again. You are using the NitrogenOS stock kernel and not some other?

What do you mean by the Qualcomm restor and unlock? I already tried the flashing of latest TWRP and it did not work.
I was coming from Validus last beta but did a previous factory reset and that stuff.

None of that answer what he actually asked, which is: what was the output (error message, result, etc.) when you tried to flash TWRP?
Did it flash successfully, but still can't boot to TWRP? Or else, what was the exact error message?
In general, when asking for help and giving status, be specific as possible, and give as many details as possible. Saying you "tried xxx" or "it did not work" is not specific enough.
Seems silly, but I've seen a lot of times where it's as simple as the user not using the correct command or entering the right file name.

There were no errors when flashing TWRP. When I tried rebooting using fastboot(fastboot boot recovery.img) it got stuck in the message saying booting up... and the only thing that changed was that my phone left the bootloader screen to a screen with the Oneplus logo and a fastboot mode message under it.
The command I used was fastboot flash recovery recovery.img(Name of the actual recovery file)

SHRP Recovery bootloop after flashing a ROM (although rom is fine)

Hello,
As the title suggests, I've flashed a custom rom (EvolutionX to be exact), upon booting it up, mediatek Ims stops working, but that appears only on boot so it's not that big of a deal.
However, Upon rebooting into recovery (through system or via vol up+power) i get greeted by the SHRP logo but it powers off and on.
Fastboot mode works just fine, ROM works too, the recovery doesnt want to work though. I had the phone modded for 2 weeks and this is the first time this happened.
Any idea on i can fix it? I've already tried flashing the same recovery via fastboot but to no avail, i get an error saying:
fastboot: error: cannot load 'SHRP_v3.1_stable-Official_CD6-1630047089': Permission denied
That's weird, because my phone has an unlocked bootloader.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Friend Maybe you had a small error in the firmware of your device, if I'm not mistaken I think that later the equipment will be in a hardbrick and you will have to wait for the bootloop cycle to pass, which is when the battery runs out and you will have to resort to SP Flash Tool to fix mobile
I hope I have helped you, it is something that I have learned

did you flash the .zip using the SHRP recovery or did you use the fastboot method? I just used the Install Magisk feature and now my phone it bootlooping. I can enter the SHRP and fastboot. It just bootloop after the lock icon disappears.

I mean the MIUI ROM in zip. But I figured it out, I unbricked mine by installing the MIUI from the SHRP.
