I used the official TWRP app to flash a recovery, I think I must have selected the option to flash to boot?, because when I go to TWRP nothing will mount, such as system. When I go to the reboot option, even selecting power off, all that ever happens is a reboot back to twrp.
Any fix for this> Thanks
EDIT: I fixed it by going to ADB and using fastboot boot twrp.img
which temp boots recovery and flashed rom that way. Somehow it worked, now all is back to normal.

EDIT: IT FINALLY WORKED! I just flashed an older version of twrp. Pretty weird how that's working and the newer one isn't. Should I keep this post for people with the same problem?
I know about the problem with cm12s and with the cm recovery thing.
I tried everything. Searched and tried nearly all of the different recovery or root install tutorials. But it's still not working!
Every time I install a recovery (both twrp and cwm) it won't install even though it said it worked. When I do the "remove usb, vol down + power" trick after flashing it just won't boot. It just shows the logo and then it reboots. If I release everything it boots my phone up normally. Even clicking recovery reboot in the reboot menu doesn't work. Then it will bring me to the cyanogen recovery.
My debugging mode is on.
Cyanogen recovery update is OFF.
I'm now using cm12.1s but it didn't work on cm12s either.
ADB and Fastboot are working fine. I tested it and my phone reacts when I give it commands (like fastboot reboot or adb devices)
My bootloader is unlocked (confirmed with fastboot oem device-info)
I just got this phone yesterday. I didn't expect this much trouble with just rooting.
ps: this is one of those "it should work, but it doesn't" moments.
Yes. After cm12 the cyanogenmod is ignoring the cyanogen off recovery mark.
After flashing recovery twrp via fastboot, direct reboot to recovery manually via button. Try look at faq. See q22. http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/help/faq-oneplus-one-frequently-questions-t2895136
Always keep a post like this, it's good for future reference (people having the same question will thank you for sure)!
Use Philz recovery. Many are facing same issues with TWRP

Just like every other method I've tried, that method doesn't seem to work either.
Hi Benalimarwan,
Thanks for your post. I flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-bacon.img. but, it still didn't work. When I logged into recovery mode it still logged into cynogen recovery. Which version of twrp did you flash? Thanks!

Works for me from latest stable CM12
1. Unlocking Bootloader via fastboot
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot reboot
2. USB Debugging -
On your phone go to Settings > About phone > Tap on Build number 7 times. This will enable Developer options. Now go back to Settings > Developer options > Enable USB debugging
3. Disable CM Recovery Protection -
On your phone go to Settings > Developer options. Then disable the 'Update recovery with system updates' option.
4. Installing a Custom Recovery
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img
got it from http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/bacon (one recommends don't use 2.8.7)
reboot to system
5. Flash your custom recovery again, but after flashing don't do a normal reboot. (DONT FORGOT TO Disable CM Recovery Protection first in normal boot before)
After the flash has succeeded disconnect the usb cable, then power down the phone by holding the power button down, once it's powered off use the power + volume down button combo to boot directly into recovery. This first forced reboot into recovery somehow subverts what was keeping it from staying flashed and all subsequent normal reboots into recovery will boot into the custom recovery of your choice.
gawd i nearly went out of my mind last night trying to flash TWRP , everything was working fine , fastboot checked out , unlocked the OEM also but it refused to flash TWRP , threw up errors "cannot open recovery' then i remembered the "hide file extensions for known file types" in win7 which was checked and ran
fastboot flash recovery rec[TAB]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
.i.e hit tab button before hitting enter and it flashed it like a charm !! and i was already to throw this new cell out of my window
Please help me understand Step 5.
Once 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img' is completed, I shouldn't do a 'fastboot reboot'. Instead of that disconnect USB, and then Poweroff using power button. Now use Power + Volume down to boot into recovery. This should allow me to use twrp recovery. Is my understanding correct?
Regards,
Kiran
Hi Guys,
Just did step 5 again.
Did 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img' and disconnected USB, Powered off the device and powered it on using Volume down + Power button. It logged into twrp recovery. I then selected 'Install' and phone automatically got rebooted. Not sure why. I powered it off and powered on again using volume down + Power buttons. It then logged into CM recovery.
Repeated above step again. Again faced same issue. Any ideas?
I unlocked boot loader 4/5 days back. Since twrp recovery was not working, I continued using phone. Installed several apps. Do you think this might be an issue? Do I have to unlock boot loader again and then do 'fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.1-bacon.img'??? Please suggest
Regards,
Kiran
Do it this way with fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (you know the drill...)
when this is completed type in fastboot reboot
BUT MOST IMPORTANT! hold the volume down button on your opo the whole time before you press enter to run the command and keep holding it until TWRP boots up.
This worked on 5 OPO's. (3 were mine, one was my brother's and one is a friend's)
im too on stock 12.1..So which twrp recovery version ll i flash????

Wug's Bacon Root Toolkit
I had this problem when I tried flashing the custom recovery (TWRP) manually. It didn't matter what I tried, I could never manage to make TWRP persist over CM Recovery after a reboot. After giving up and staying in stock for some time, I decided to try again after getting the OTA to CM 12.1S, but, as no surprise, the same thing still happened. So, as a last try, I downloaded Wug's Bacon Root Toolkit and voila... it finally worked, I had a TWRP that persisted over CM Recovery after a reboot. I don't know what the toolkit did different than me when I did it manually, but it managed to make it work! Hopefully it also works for you...
only used toolkit for Fastboot driver installation...Good step by step instructions...but flashed 2.8.7.0 twrp with adb commands as described by Heisenberb...finally installed recovery n rooted my opo...

AcmE85, Your suggestion worked like a charm bro. Finally was able to fix the issue. Thanks much for your help!
Event 1 : My oneplus one got stuck within TWRP recovery, have tried flashing other custom ROMs but while rebooting to system it rebooted back to TWRP recovery every time. Tried to reboot the phone to bootloader mode, even that resulted to rebooting to TWRP.
Event 2 : After this I've replaced the TWRP recovery with stock recovery, then connected to my computer through adb sideload via the OTA update option in stock recovery menu. But since I do not have the OTA update file can not test either it will boot or not. Here I require the whole zip file not just the new update portion.
Now, is there anyway to get to twrp recovery again or boot the stock rom in the phone.
Any form of help is much appreciated...

I guess I know what caused the rebooting of twrp everytime.
It's because of the vol - button is getting pressed
automatically. Just open the back over and clean the vol button strips then reattach the back cover properly,your issue of twrp rebooting should be solved.
And you can flash the twrp using fastboot then flash any rom you want to.
The issue got figured out..thanks a lot sir..your effort is much appreciated..

Thanks a lot sir..I checked out the phone and found the same fault to be present there...Thereafter everything was easy as usual..
I have flashed TWRP 3.3.1 successfully . after that I rebooted into TWRP and it does not enter its recovery UI. After that, I tried to reboot the phone but it goes to recover screen again without entering recovery UI. I can't open my phone now. please help.
At the beginning, after flashing the twrp it was showing only TWRP screen not the options. then i rebooted the system and the phone rebooted without any issue (till now, phone was ok). then I again flashed the twrp but it remained the same. after that i tried different command from the Powershell. (fastboot boot twrp.img) and it showed downloading. after waiting for 5 min, I just closed the PowerShell and tried to reboot. from that time I cannot boot my phone anymore. then i again flashed the recovery but could not boot the phone. when i triy to boot the phone it only shows the recovery screen. I've attached the commands that I used to flash TWRP. Please help me to solve the problem.

Have you tried booting the recovery by pressing Power + Vol up?

Now since you are bootlooping we would need to install MIUI back again, to do this download the MiFlash Tool and the fastboot ROM for the latest MIUI, now copy it's file path and paste in MiFlash Tool, also make sure it detects your phone, now in the bottom right corner there would be an option like flash_everything_except_internal (similar to this) so that the internal storage isn't erased, now flash the ROM and let the phone boot up atleast once.
Once that's done use this TWRP (https://forum.xda-developers.com/re...unofficial-twrp-3-3-1-proper-t3933531/page4), it has a fix for the encryption bug and won't lead to a bootloop (the password/code/pattern asked in it is the same as the phone's), now you have TWRP installed and running
Thanks for your support. I followed the instruction and bootup the phone. But I'm afraid of flashing TWRP ?
It worked. I installed TWRP without any issue . Thanks again ?
TWRP 3.3.1 has bug, reinstall TWRP 3.2.3 and boot to recovery and then reboot to system.

I have now flashed TWRP. But my phone isn't booting into TWRP recovery and the power button and volume UP button is booting the phone into MIUI recovery. Also when booting into the system, it's asking for a password when I had no passwords on the device. Will MiFlash Tool help in this case??

The password is on the phone lock screen? In that case your device must have got encrypted, you might have to format all partitions and then flash with Mi Flash.Do have a try with MiFlash first, might help if it's not encrypted. Also make sure you used the right commands to flash the recovery, and use OrangeFox or Peter's.

When you flash TWRP, after it flashes, you then have to boot into recovery before you boot to any of your device's other modes, if you allow the device to boot into any other mode BEFORE booting to recovery, it will revert back to stock recovery. The very next thing you have to do after flashing TWRP is to boot immediately into recovery before you do anything else, then it will keep TWRP recovery.
Flash the TWRP recovery via fastboot, then type the command:
adb reboot recovery
Or
Flash TWRP via fastboot then disconnect the device and power the device off, then press and hold the correct button combination to boot into recovery.

I've been using lineage OS rooted and TWRP installed, my phone was slowing down, so i boot into recovery and cleared all data and copied ROM and gapp files and flashed them, then it rebooted but it went again to recovery only, ever since, stuck in TWRP recovery and even if i tried to go to fastboot via pressing vol up and power button its going into TWRP, Anyone knows how to fix this
