Hi,
I was running Oxygen 4.0.0 and a beta build of TWRP 3.0.3 which works with new encryption. I used the android update mechanics to get the 4.0.1 OTA. System rebooted to recovery, recovery threw an error (zip file corrputed) and since then I am not able to boot the system. Whatever I do I land in TWRP recovery.
Things I did so far:
- Tried installing the full 4.0.1 zip. Install worked without errors, device still boots to recovery.
- Tried to get stock recovery, since another post (https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/help/stuck-recovery-mode-t3532524) indicates stock recovery might fix the problem
--> stock recovery is not obtainable anymore. Seems deleted from all the download links I could find. Example is here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/zip-flashable-firmware-modem-t3509015
- Wipe cache and dalvik cache in the hopes, the instruction to boot to recovery is there somewhere.
I did not do the unbrick tool, since I run linux and didnt want to fiddle with windows yet.
I did make a nandroid backup, so once my system boots again I should be fine.
Any Idea where to either get a mirror of stock recovery or how to fix this problem otherwise?
I had this same problem, and I solved downloading the unbrick tool and extracting the recovery from there. Here is the file

Also locking the bootloader worked for me. Booted into system then unlocked again.
Thanks a lot for the stock recovery. That worked!
Once it booted, installing TWRP and SuperSU again.

Does your TWRP boot correctly? I flashed it and when I restarted I still had the stock recovery, so I used fastboot boot and it booted, but it is stuck in the loading screen.
Edit: After rebooting and reflashing totally random, it worked.

Yeah, worked totally normal as it should.
My educated guess about this whole dilemma is, the system sets a flag to boot to recovery which TWRP doesn't clear and only stock recovery clears. Usually those flags should be in cache partition, but in this case isn't.
Tldr: don't use build in update mechanisms if you modified Rom and recovery.

Hey
I have got a kinda big problem. I wanted to factory reset my phone, because apps were not responding, force closing and I had a lot of apps installed (I am on B135), so I went in my TWRP 2.8.1.0 recovery and factory resetted. cache was unable to mount, so I only wiped data and rebooted. The same problem now occurs only worse.
I thought about the cache that might be causing this, but all attemts to wipe it (recovery, apps) failed.
I also thought I could flash the stock recovery again and force update the phone, but the 3 button method isnt working and (of course) I need the stock recovery
Someone please help

I would suggest that you install the latest twrp with flashify and then update your phone, because the newest twrp has the emui updater already built in, so you don't have to re-flash recoveries all the time.
Thanks Sproker,
One problem though. The lastest twrp does not seem to work because it is EMUI 3.0 and I am on EMUI 2.3?? I recently fixed it finally, but I still want to upgrade to EMUI 3.0... Is it worth it? And if it is, what am I to do?
Download the update.app (B135)
And extract the recovery.img
Now download ADB/Fastboot and the latest driver (HISiute).
Connect your phone with the computer and boot your phone into recovery mode.
Now boot into bootloader mode and search the device with "fastboot devices" if it is correctly connected, it should be displayed.
Now flash (first move the recovery.img into the ADB /Fastboot folder) the recovery.img you extracted before.
"fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
Now you should have the stock recovery back on your phone.
But if twrp didn't work (erasing cache) the stock will also not work.
Try to erase cache via fastboot. But I don't know the code...
I tried to boot into recovery to make a backup but TWRP has disappeared - no recovery whatsoever. Phone boots to system only. How can this have happened? I've been using Omni for the past month or so with no problems and updating every Sunday.
To recap, I have not done any modifications since the last opdate.Tried to boot into recovery and it is gone. Since only using Omini ROM I thought it was a ROM issue but no one in the Omni thread as been able to help so posting it here.
I can probably flash it again but am puzzled why is should just vanish.
The recovery might have got updated and the last update has overwritten TWRP, so it may be the cause of disappearance, but I'm not sure. You should've got standard recovery bundled with ROM.
And yes, just flash TWRP and it should work again. No need to flash Magisk or custom kernel, since you're on custom ROM.
Recovery partitions may have been corrupted. Try fastboot erase cache, and then fastboot flash recovery (TWRP). See if it boots into TWRP then.
TRWP installed again
Many thanks to all.
Recovery back! Still don't know why it disappeared.
Hello everyone,
I am not completely new to customizing but I've run into a problem and I have tried everything I knew to try and everything I have searched for online so far.
What I have:
Galaxy Note 5
SM-N920T
Baseband: N920TUVS5ERF2
I installed twrp to perform a full system backup in preparation for a full factory reset. The backup was successful, no problem there. I did the factory reset from twrp, now all the phone will do is reboot into the recovery menu and now it says "dm-verity error... failed code: 0x02)
I flashed it back to full stock with ODIN with the latest firmware, which said successful, but boots into recovery.
I flashed 4 of the older official firmware, boots into recovery.
I reflashed twrp and restored the backup, boots into recovery.
I flashed a custom rom, recovery.
Had twrp reload the filesystem with EXT4...
Used ADB to disable verity checks...
Used ADB to pull, push and rebuild permissions for the build.prop edited to disable verity checks...
Nothing has worked and I am out of ideas.
Hopefully, someone reading this will have the key to getting this fixed. It's a good phone, well cared for and I don't want to replace it.
Thanks in advance for any and all help. :fingers-crossed:

As the title suggest, I fail to boot into TWRP.
I have unlocked the phone and flashed TWRP (https://dl.twrp.me/raphael/twrp-3.3.1-0-raphael.img).
I could boot into TWRP using Power + Volume Up , wiped everything (except vendor) and pushed a custom rom to the internal storage.
I restarted the phone for some reason and cannot boot into TWRP anymore. Whatever I do, I end up in fastboot. Tried to flash various versions of TWRP with the same result.
Can you guys help me out?
Edit: I flashed the corresponding Xiaomi fastboot image and repeated the process, same problem.
Edit: Solved by repeating again.

In future, don't wipe everything. You should only need to do the factory reset in TWRP, which will automatically wipe data, cache and dakvik. If you are flashing over MIUI then you will also need to format data.
There is almost never any need to wipe anything else in TWRP when doing normal custom ROM flashing.
Tried a bunch of things to make the TWRP installation persistent, but it just goes back to MIUI recovery when i reboot from the system.
I'm using TWRP 3.5.2 by Nebrassy.
USB debugging turned on
Correct drivers installed
fastboot devices work Using minimal ADB and fastboot
I have the file renamed as TWRP.img.
Steps i followed:
fastboot boot "TWRP.img" - Correctly boots into TWRP
install the TWRP image to the recovery partition - Happens with no errors
Reboot to system - No errors there as well
Reboot to recovery - Goes back to MIUI recovery.
Can someone please tell me what i should do?
PS: Tried with TWRP 3.6.0 as well just now. Same issue.

Try again to flash TWRP dirty and if it's started don't boot with software. You have to boot TWRP again by pressing volume + and power button until you'll get vibration , afterwards you'll be in TWRP again, clear dalvik and cache and restart system via TWRP menu

Sorry mate that didn't work. Still going back to stock recovery...
Since i didn't find a solution to make the installation presistant, i went ahead and flashed Elixir with the temporarily booted TWRP. Then wiped cache and dalvik, flashed the TWRP image, formatted data and then rebooted. Now it works.
Edit: This method did something to my recovery. I can boot to system and recovery fine but TWRP isn't able to mount the data partition. So i'm not able to flash anything or root the device anymore.
I tried formatting data, no luck.
Then tried repairing the data partition. No luck.
Changed the file system to EX2 and then EX4... Nothing.
Anyone know a solution for this?

Would that re-lock the bootloader? And if so do i have to wait 7 more days for it to be unlocked?
I used the Disable-Dm-Verity-Zip directly in TWRP after installation. Worked without a problem.

Also, any idea how i could get this fixed:

1. With MiFlash there is an option at the bottom of the screen to lock bootloader. Just make sure it is NOT checked, and you will be safe to use MiFlash without relocking bootloader.
2. When installing TWRP for first time, it is essential that your first reboot is straight back to TWRP - then it becomes persistent, and future reboots to recovery will be to TWRP. If you do not do the first reboot back to TWRP, the stock MIUI ROM recovery reinstalls itself.

The first ever twrp install i did, i rebooted to system by mistake but i reflashed twrp and made sure to reboot to recovery.... That was the second try. I think i may have tried at least two dozen times since that but it just kept booting back to stock recovery...
I think I'll run with this until the end of Jan and then redo everything from scratch...
