OnePlus 3T Recovery Loop - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

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

@Isus <3 and @koentdm Do you have a download for the stock recovery, cause the oneplus download-site isnt working and I cant find any other downloads for it

Keep booting into TWRP after Android 7.0

I had TWRP installed and enrolled in the beta program. I just downloaded the official 7.0 through the push notification and clicked, "Restart and Install." Now, my phone boots automatically into TWRP. I've turned it off, then back on and same thing. Any ideas how to get out of this?
Boot into bootloader from recovery and select start.

Yeah but it still can't install the update,any way fix it?
Boot to bootloader and flash the stock recovery from factory image. Then boot into stock recovery and the update should start.
The same happened to me. Disappointing, since the previews all worked (for me) in TWRP.
I just downloaded the OTA and sideloaded it, flashed TWRP, rebooted into TWRP and installed SuperSU 2.78. Worked fine.

May I ask which version of TWRP did you use?
twrp-3.0.2-0-shamu.img
you cant flash an official factory image in twrp..this is a known fact...
Is that comment aimed at me? Did you actually read my post? Can you point me at the relevant part where I get it wrong?
Feel free to apologise any time.

You are side loaded ota then flash twrp . But in op he was flashed ota via twrp and now os corrupted and he is not able to boot into system. All ota can flashed via stock recovery , i think. He have to flash firmware now via fast boot. Am i correct . If anything wrong ,you can correct.
Everybody should be friends in XDA.
It seems that people don't read posts before writing. The OP clearly said that he had applied the OTA. I clearly said that this was exactly what I did with the same result. I also clearly explained what I did to fix it. The next comment should be from the OP saying what he's doing to recover. If he does what I did he'll be fine.

He can reinstall stock recovery and side load from there
Either flash the stock recovery.img through twrp or
Flash stock recovery through fastboot or
Install factory image through fastboot

To avoid issues, I'd say make sure you're 100% stock, recovery and all before installing an official update. Like I said, just to be sure it won't fail.
I got the the OTA notification before work yesterday. All day at work I was itching to install it but with no PC I couldn't risk it. I was on the DP5 with TWRP, no root, and unlocked. I couldn't wait. I flashed the OTA with TWRP after I restored a backup of when I first installed DP5. TWRP throw a couple of errors but after about 10 minutes of hanging on the boot animation it finally booted. My phone was encrypted but other then that it was fine. I was gonna root it afterwards but I was on stock recovery after flashing the OTA so I couldn't do anything until I got home. Made a noforc-nonverify boot IMG throw on TWRP reformatted. Running great now.
Edit: My DP5 boot.img was also noforc-nonverify.

Stuck in recovery mode

I was trying to fix my google play "no connection error" but it didn't work so i just reset my phone as a last resort to try and fix this problem. It restarted in recovery mode i thought this was just a procedure and i just hit reboot -> system. it rebooted again into recovery mode i checked if there were any wtuck volume rockers but there aren't any help?
(FYI: one plus 3T: Rooted)

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?

[Question] Unsuccessful Encryption

Hello, I've softbricked a fair amount of phones and tablets in my time but I must admit never had this show up. After flashing Twrp and a dm-verity thingy, I received this shiny new error on my new 1+3t. While I'm assuming it's a straightforward fix such as:
Booting into Twrp and flashing stock 4.x Oxygen os and the stock recovery to bring phone back to where I started.
My question is, can't I just go straight about flashing a rom? I.e freedom rom, or is it advisable to just try start again?
And is me flashing stock os then recovery got to work?
Everything is still stock there is no root. All I have done is:
Code:
fastboot > oemunlock > reboot > fastboot flash Twrp > Twrp boot > Twrp > swiped to Modify > flashed dm-verity.
I did receive a password request first time round but after I rebooted phone it wasn't there again.
Thank you for helping in advance.

You had to flash supersu or Magisk after the process to disable force encryption also make sure your are on the nougat supported twrp 3.0.4-1 or later
You can flash any rom if you have an unlocked bootloader and a working twrp

thanks I think that's where I went wrong. I should have flashed Magisk. The guide says so but I only intended to flash a rom. Eh. I'll see if I can flash Magisk. All is not lost. I'll update once I get home. I'm annoyed with my self lol.

I will do, hopefully it be fine. I'll try different thing if stuff doesn't work and I'll post back what I did incase anyone else has similar problem .
Twrp doesn't see any internal storage what so ever. So Ive flashed stock recovery from fastboot and going to attempt to sideload the stock OS. fingers-crossed

Thanks for your help im back to a working phone!
For anyone who get stuck!
1) download op3t stock recovery and the oxygen OS from oneplus website
2) boot into fastboot.
3) with your pc get up Adb and:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery stock.img
Fastboot boot stock.img
[\CODE]
4) Once you boot into recovery navigate to install from adb.
5) in cmd again on pc type
[CODE] adb sideload filename.zip
[\CODE]
6) then reboot :). You can leave it here if you want.
So I'm back on stock. With Magisk installed. Only dm-verity still come up which I'm not keen on. But I guess I can live with it. But I'm stuck with a bunch of system apps I can't get rid of? I've tried titanium backup, and link2sd my go to but nothing any ideas? Anyone now how to get rid?

Modem/Internet Drivers are Missing

Hi, I am new to this forum but old on android. My oneplus 3t brick yesterday and i don't know why. I never rooted phone and always update phone via OTA. I contacted Oneplus support yesterday and they arrange a remote session where they are unable to install anything via msmdownload tool. I download msmdownload tool yesterday from this forum and my phone works but there is no modem in it. I am unable to connect to wifi and SIM internet. Oxygen OS version install at the moment is 3.5.1 and android version is 6.0.1. Need help from some seniors.
Update by using on the of the official "full zips"? These include the modem, so I would think that would fix the problem, unless there is a more serious issue (hardware failure, etc.):

Are you able to go to fastboot mode? If yes, go for it:

Install TWRP too. Now you're able to wipe everything and upload a full ROM to your device (Thanks to MTP-mode via TWRP, so handy!). Flash the full ROM and have a try .

Do you have TWRP installed? Just wipe your phone, get an otg cable and a flash drive, you can flash everything from the flash drive

Flash 1227 twrp. normally it MUST be installed before rebooting into the system rom.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IeCtb6vRO4CRe76s0BD_5TQiSnymPBTT
Hope it stick because some of us got troubles and were forced to reflash with miflash in order to recover.
Thanks, I was worried that 1227 would introduce more problems instead of solving them but I took the risk and it paid off. I can boot into the recovery after flashing it. One more question if you don't mind, can I directly flash the new updated rom without wiping so as to not lose any data. It won't cause any problems right?

No problem to weekly flash EU- DEV rom in dirty mode from direct download. (I systematically reject the OTA update because it often fails.)
And If a risk exist or any request for clean install, it will be notified at download page.
