can boot recovery from fastboot but can't flash!

Hey guys,
My friend is having some issues with getting twrp on his new oneplus one:
the bootloader was succesfully unlocked and we tried flashing the twrp recovery on it (both the latest version and the previous version) fastboot said that it was succesfull but when we tried to boot the recovery by holding power + volume down the device hung on a black screen and needed to be restarted, and this happens everytime! However if we do fastboot boot openrecovery....img it takes a while but the recovery boots just fine!
what's going on here? can anyone tell me why it won't boot a flashed recovery?

I have the same issue as you, and yet to find an solution. Try using Philz Touch or CWM instead, both worked for me.

Many people don't know the correct procedure to boot into recovery using the button combination, what you need to do is first hold volume down, then hold power as well, the phone will vibrate and you'll see the OnePlus splash screen, after about a second you can let go of the power button and keep holding volume down until it boots into recovery. If you continue to good the power button after seeing the splash screen the device becomes confused and thinks you're trying a hard reset.

[Q] My phone is almost dead! Help please!

Hello my friends
I was running official lollipop for my m8sw Chinese unicome version.
But i wanted to use Bindroid Rom, So i did s-off, unlock bootloader, Twrp recovery, change cid to 11111111
The ROM was installed but there are bugs with the both SIM cards, i decided to try changing to EU version
I couldn't flash the stock recovery and installed the ROM though bootloader But then the phone is not boating
What i have now is only black screen with red triangle and exclamation mark! NO recovery and can't connect to fastboot or adb
Any suggestion, please.

Hi,
Try to removed sdcard from phone.
Press power + Volume down (> 10sec) should be reboot and go to bootloader. If not try Power+volume UP + Volume down (>10sec).
Flash TWRP recovery (EU).
Clear Dalvick Cache and normal reboot.
Good luck!

i would while booting the device keep pressing the power button to force shutdown the device. immediately after turning off, press and hold both power button and vol - keys for 10sec or more and release. this will get you into the bootloader screen. on that keep pressing vol - to select 'recovery' and press vol + to go into the recovery. good luck

that leaves you only with one option. get into the bootloader screen, and flash the latest stock ROM using fastboot commands. then try flashing custom recovery, custom ROM from the beginning. i would skip flashing bootloader though.

i too faced the same problem. some one please help

While your phone is plugged into a computer with a USB cable, hold down volume down + power until your phone enters the bootloader. From there, flash the TWRP from this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-8/development/twrp-t3566563
After flashing, hold down volume up and reboot with 'fastboot reboot'. Once you see your phone is booting message, let go of volume up and it should load TWRP. If it freezes and doesn't load after 3-5 minutes, try the official TWRP from twrp.me (for Marshmallow devices) since your Nougat flash may be messed up. If neither works, then flash the stock recovery from bootloader and follow the instructions to do a force-update with the full stock system image.

Mine won't boot to TWRP and when I use the EMUI boot screen its saying it can't connect to Huawei erecovery servers. So I can't even wipe the root at this point. Any ideas?

Many Thanks!

Well this worked for me, after a day of googling. the twrp-3.1.1-1-frd.img worked, it may have been following the instructions about "fastboot reboot, while holding the volume up.

Hi,
If I used the official TRWP 3.1.1 first and it didn't work, can I just go ahead and flash the TWRP using the modified twrp.img at the above link to see if that works?

I wiped my Shield my mistaken :( please help only had it for 2 days

I bought a fairly new 2015 tablet a guy a bought it from had Blisspop OS on it v3.8 -( it was mint in box ) anyway in trying to get it to accept the official Nvidia OS - it failed many times in Twrp recovery i hit the wipe by mistake now the hard drive got wiped and it only hangs at the Nvidia Logo - is there anyway top recovery it? I had a backup on my sd card of the Blisspop OS but i was hoping i could access it via ADB fast boot ( been reading yet unfamiliar with the process ) when i hold the pwr button and volume down it takes me to the recovery but it just goes back to the logo screen it not even going into twrp ( no dounbt because the drive is wiped ) its this futile or can i recovery it somehow

If you can enter TWRP you are saved
As long as you can enter fastboot mode you are safe as well
In case you don't have twrp you need to enter fastboot:
I believe its power + vol down (might be up its beeb years since Ive entered anything with button combinations). When you're there follow this guide to flash TWRP. You will also most likely need to flash some old version because new ones require the newest firmwarw and bliss os is quite old (again I might be wrong). When you have TWRP follow Lineageos [OFFICIAL] by steel thread to get the latest firmware file and flash it. Then you need a rom and that can be any one you like (you aon't find a rom on Steel's thread but there are new LineageOS threads).
Good luck
