oxygen os for OOS, then over the air update for ota.. twrp official by oneplus ?? oneplus would not provide twrp.. they will only provide their own stock recovery..

i just restored mine using twrp and it worked for me.. try to check with oneplus customer support
reflash the original oneplus recovery, not twrp, thru fastboot.
download the full oxygen os in your pc. the sideload it thru your pc via original oxygen recovery.

thats good sir.
i have china version op3 as well. what i did to flash OOS is just sideload thru stock recovery. i didnt even need to unlock bootloader. since they are both official OS.
so that might work for the original poster. just use stock recovery and adb sideload OOS

aassuming you know all the basics and you have computers around you, especially windows os.
1. download everything (latest full oxygen os zip found in downloads.oneplus.net, original oxygen recovery also found in that link)
2. boot to fastboot
3. flash original recovery (i believe you know how to flash, you have twrp in your oneplus 3, this should not be a problem to you)
4. reboot to recovery
5. choose adb sideload
6. adb sideload the latest oxygen os zip
you should really just follow step by step the instruction found in the downloads.oneplus.net, assuming you now have the original recovery, not the twrp.
tell me if you still can not follow. ill make a spoonfeed tutorial when i get home using pc. its really hard to write a step by step tutorial using phone.
@abraham I noticed you didn't wipe dalvik cache before installing the OOS. Try wiping dalvik cache, cache, data and system to see if that could solve the problem.

Tried every possible method. I use twrp official flash zip or adb side load also cannot. I tried using stock recovery also cannot. I tried using the hard brick way last night but after the flash, the phone is charging and I know it is OOS charging thing. Like you power off your phone and let it charge it wok come out a battery logo and charge your phone. I got that so I assume that I have OOS install. But when I power it on it also stuck at booting the phone. So tired right now being finding solution for about 2 weeks. Could it be the hardware problem that effect the phone?

Thanks for the advise. Tried but no luck. Still the same problem. What seems to be the problem? Hardware? Or could it be a fake op3 that I bought from china?

if you were able to flash op3 twrp, then its not fake. the twrp you downloaded is designed for op3, right? if you have successfully flashed it, then its an authentic op3.
just return/exchange it if possible.
i have changed my Hydrogen OS to Oxygen OS smoothly. I didnt even need to unlock bootloader nor change recoveries.

Hmm what's seems to be the problem. I live in Malaysia and I bought the op3 from china so it is kinda hard to return. Maybe I bring to service centre for repair.

Which TWRP did you try flashing? Official or modified one?
Try with modified 3.0.2-22, if you haven't yet.

Post corrupting recovery partition, tried flashing back the same recovery...resulting in blackscreen tho.

I'm facing almost same situation, haven't flashed wrong twrp, have tried 3.0.2.22 and screwed up...not able to flash any other twrp. Have side loaded OOS 3.5.5 and rebooted to get official recovery and succeeded as well but as soon as have flashed official twrp resulting black screen. Again flashed 3.0.2.22 through fastboot mode and working... In short, I can't use any recovery other then 3.0.2.22. Any guidance and help would be highly appreciated....

I also use .22 recovery and no problem. The problem is not the recovery, its a noob problem.
indeed that seems to be the problem here.
Tried flashing modified recovery again (-22), successfully booted into recovery now.
What's causing this issue, any pointers guys ?
can't go back to official twrp for some reason.

Well accepted its noob problem, appreciating if you help us, instead of pointing noob @#$%.
Want to use multiROM but not able to flash any other recovery.
Any other way to hard reset the device which fixed recovery partitions (I'm sure we messed with partitions).
Edit: even I'm using 3.0.2.22 without any issues but if I want to use any other recovery(official twrp or multiROM twrp, not able to boot into it, truly noob thing as per your post)
Official TWRP is not compatible with CE ROMs. Try first flashing official OOS (3.2.7 or older) with -22 and then flashing official TWRP.

I'm trying to get stock recovery I have modified twrp but whenever I flash the cb full zip twrp doesn't get overwritten
To Reproduce the issue.
1. Flash modified TWRP (-22) version via fastboot
2. Flash CE ROM latest 3.5.5 from recovery
3. Reboot into system, successfully booted.
4. Tried flashing official TWRP, results in Blackscreen (in my case flashed incorrect TWRP, then flashed official one)
5. flashing back (-22) version of TWRP, recovery seems working...however if one wants to switch to official or MultiRom's TWRP, results in Blackscreen.
Hope this gives detailed understanding
Edit:
Gonna try the same with 3.2.7 OOS. Thanks Mate

Yeah, flashing full stock oos might do the trick, there's something related to firmware, it's a long story to understand and I'm not fully getting it, anyway, flash the full stock, boot it up, your device may get encrypted again and then flash the official twrp via fastboot, don't use flashify
I'll try to keep an eye out here rather than on the multi-boot thread

power off phone, keep pressed vol-up+vol-down and connect usb cable, phone will enter qualcomm download mode, then flash with MSM Download Tool.

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

My OnePlus 3T is freezing. I've tried wiping it, fastboot erasing/formatting and custom ROMs/stock. Is my unit defective? I've had it since release with a glass screen protector and tudia case. What will happen if I ask for a replacement? How quickly will they replace it or repair it?
Thanks!

I successfully sideloaded the stock ROM / recovery, but the phone won't fully boot. The phone goes black or shuts down after it's about to start the initial setup phase. Is there anything else I should try? I've contacted support and they want to remote flash the device on the 24th...
I would recommend you to follow the unbrick guide which restores your phone to factory state, and then try again to update to 4.1.3.

So I followed the unbrick tool and everything worked great flashing back to 3.5.4. However, once I sideloaded to 4.1.3, the phone freezes nonstop. I had to manually restart the phone just to get to the initalize setup screen, but now the phone is completely frozen. Why is 3.5.4 working fine, but 4.1.3 crashing? Is my 4.1.3 corrupt or something? I'm really confused.
I left OOS around 4.0.1 and has been using LOS 14.1 instead, but from what I've heard from those still using OOS, 4.1.3 of it should work just fine.

May be a bad download, you don't have to sideload.
Just flash the new recovery and install via internal from stock recovery or you can also ways flash full zip via twrp

Hi guys, I have a OnePlus 3T which I have been using since 2017 and it worked perfectly. But a few months ago it updated to Android 9 Pie and ever since then my phone has gotten far slower, keeps hanging on certain things and sometimes I can't even make a call directly from contacts. I have to click call then it seems like the call is starting up but then just freezes and cuts off. Afterward, I have to go to call history and make the call again and it works.
I waited a while to see if a newer update will fix this slowdown and issues but after 2 or 3 more Pie updates it's still unresponsive and crashes the dialer. So I just want to know if anyone can tell me where I can find a ROM for final Oreo version that is compatible with OnePlus 3T and the best way I can downgrade.
I tried following a guide already but I ran into issues simply flashing TWRP. I Installed the ABD drivers, unlocked bootloader and rebooted.
Then in fastboot mode, I tried to flash it and it seemed to work because in the ABD PowerShell windows it said "Okay" after I used the cmd to flash.
But when I reboot and go into recovery, I still have the default recovery options.
This is the first time I am trying to flash my phone and I'm only doing it because it went from a phone that ran super smooth to one that is barely usable...I mean Contacts and the actual Phone apps are hanging and crashing. It even crashes when I try to answer incoming calls sometimes. The phone keeps ringing and I get a message saying the program is unresponsive, giving me options to "wait" or "close"

Something you need to know: stock OOS will always reinstall the stock recovery when the phone boots into system.
So if you
1. Booted into fastboot
2. Flashed TWRP
3. Booted your phone
4. Booted into recovery
then TWRP got overwritten in step 3.
What you should have done after flashing TWRP was boot into recovery directly (use the volume keys while in fastboot mode to select that option then press the power button).

Thanks for the reply...and it got me a step further. But when it got to TWRP it starts at "Mount Decrypt Data" I assumed this was my phone pin...and when I tried that it opens up a cmd window which said "unable to mount storage" then says "updating partition details" but it sort of freezes then the phone turns off and powers on with the notification LED being "white" but the screen is black and the phone just stays like this for ages. Only thing I could do is hold down the power button to power down the phone and restart it. At least TWRP seems to have flashed because even when I go into recovery from the boot menu it goes to TWRP.

Personally I would not downgrade to Oreo. Pie works fine. The problems your were having could have probably been solved by simply doing a factory reset.
Since you've unlocked your bootloader, you've effectively done a factory reset. So try just booting the system and set up your phone again. It'll probably be fine now that you're doing a clean install.

Yea...I have done several factory resets in the process of unlocking the bootloader and flashing twrp. So it didn't fix the issue. The main issue is linked to "contacts" which basically freezes most times I try to make a call. It makes the call but crashes contacts and the "Phone" app. Which is stupid because that's the main purpose of a phone.
Also, another key reason for wanting to downgrade to Oreo is the ability to record phone calls. This is very useful to me and those apps stopped working with Pie I think.

Yea...I have done several factory resets in the process of unlocking the bootloader and flashing twrp. So it didn't fix the issue. The main issue is linked to "contacts" which basically freezes most times I try to make a call.

If I was to go back to Oreo I would:
Download the full Oreo OOS ROM and backup everything you need onto your PC. Then in TWRP:
1. Do a factory reset
2. Flash OOS 5.0.4
3. Wipe>format data (to get rid of encryption)
4. Reboot system, which will also encrypt the data again and replace TWRP with the stock recovery
5. Use ADB to restore the data on your phone
6. Flash TWRP and restore your Oero backup.

Did you read what I said? I did what you said and manage to boot into TWRP but I told you the issue about encryption and my phone freezing.
So I don't know how I'm supposed to flash any OS if I can't get TWRP to work in the first place.

In that case, I hope you've got backups on your PC because you're going to have to format your phone. TWRP>Wipe>Format data. You'll need to cancel out of the password screen to do the wipe.
Then reboot into recovery and use ADB to copy the files to your phone and flash Oreo.

I got my data backed up using some software called "dr.fone" but how do I use ADB to copy files to the phone?
As I said at the start, this is literally the first time I'm trying to do this. I never flashed my phone before and never used ADB or TWRP before.
I'm literally just following instructions in guides and forums. So please don't assume I know how all of this works.
Hmm. I've been thinking about your problem and I have some questions/suggestions.
1. What version of TWRP are you using? (I would use the latest one from https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus3/ )
2. Can you boot your phone normally? If so, try setting a new password and say Yes for secure start up. Then verify that when you reboot you are prompted for a password (Starting Android screen, not just the lock screen). If that works, boot into TWRP. Does the new password work?

I'm using the latest version of TWRP (top one on that list)
I can boot the phone, and it works obviously. But I was having serious issues and slowdowns after updating to Pie.
Changing the password didn't work...but doing what you said before and formatting the device and rebooting into TWRP seems to have worked.
It's recognizing the storage and I can choose zip files to install.
Do you know the last version of Oreo that was compatible with the 3T? I think it's either 5.0.8 but they may have released 5.1.8 for it...I can't remember and can't seem to find the info anywhere.

Glad you can now get into TWRP.
5.0.8 was the last stable Oreo version (I never used betas).

I would second the suggestion that you don't downgrade to Oreo. I was having the same issues you mentioned on Pie, but have since sorted them out. Pie is now running very nicely for me.
A good deep cleaning did it for me, even after a previous factory reset had failed to fix it.

Well, it seems like downgrading to Oreo is going to be a huge task. Because my research I need to flash some stock firmware before being able to flash Oreo again.
Which I tried, but for some reason, it's not flashing it. So now I need to download the latest stable version of Pie for 3T again?
Can any of you tell me what version that is?

What is the latest stable of Pie? 9.0.5
But Bill has already given you the steps for downgrading if you want.

I decided to test downgrading to Oreo from Pie. And I learnt that it's basically the same process as upgrading from Oreo to Pie. Since my phone is unlocked and encrypted I had to remove the encryption using TWRP>Wipe>Format data: yes when going from Oreo to Pie and the same when going from Pie to Oreo.
So my process to downgrade is:
- Backup everything I want to keep from my phone.
- Flash OOS 5.0.8 full stock zip in TWRP. This completely overwrites the 9.0.5 firmware and system.
- Remove encryption: TWRP>Wipe>Format data: yes. (You'll lose everything on your phone)
- Reboot system (it re-encrypts the phone and replaces TWRP with stock recovery).
- Restored phone data, and so on.

One more thing that I'd forgotten about: you can run OOS Oreo on the Pie firmware. So if you still have the Pie firmware installed, just restore an Oreo backup and you should be ok.

Do you have a link for the OOS 5.0.8 full stock zip with the firmware?
I downloaded files from these links:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/oxygenos-5-0-8-oneplus-3-3t/
https://www.androidjungles.com/oneplus-3t-flash-file/
But neither of them are flashing in TWRP.

What do you mean by deep cleaning?. I tried hard reset but after using apps phone again became dead slow.
