XT1254 Won't boot to system after factory reset

Hi,
I have a VZW Quark that's been unlocked with Sunshine and rooted and running fine on custom ROM's for a year. Today I did a factory reset and complete wipe and reinstalled RR Rom and GApps etc. However, on reboot, it only goes back to recovery (TWRP 3.1.1-0). I faced this the last time as well and managed to find the fix by googling it but can't seem to get to it now. It was a quick fix and then it booted to system fine and I cannot remember it. Can anyone help! Thanks.

Someone else had this issue and they solved it by flashing the latest @bhb27 modded TWRP. You say you have TWRP 3.1.1, but is it from the TWRP website or from @bhb27? Flash this one below to make sure.
twrp-3.1.1-mod_2-quark.img
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39562
Once they flashed it, they were able to boot to system, then they booted back to TWRP (on purpose) -- and then upon subsequent reboots everything was fine.

@bhb27 Im face a problem, since I do a clean install build 08/23, when my phone restart, it always boot into TWRP, and I need to boot to bootloader and press START to start system normally.
Maybe Im doing something worng due the install process, (full wipe include internal storage, flash Crdroid, flash Gapps, reboot), I try to flash boot.img and new TWRP 3.1.1 recovery.img, but got a same results.
Please help, thanks a lot.

You may not be using the TWRP made by me, check TWRP thread and use the twrp-3.1.1-mod_2-quark.img version that is in the afh mirror folder if you are not using that... also try to update the ROM as 8/23 is one month old on updates...

Just a few minutes ago,i got the latest OOS 5.1.11.The change logs are
System
1.Optimized network connection
2.Optimized stability for wi-fi connection
3.Fixed screen flickering issue in day light
4.General bug fixes and improvements

Improved HDR mode

Any thoughts about the improved HDR mode? Didn't receive the update yet (Germany) but would be nice if someone could do before/after photos.

I also get that update.
If i download it.. can i just not update right away?
because i want to manually update from twrp and re root with magisk.
Thanks in advance

Root users beware: issues with newer TWRP version!
This article only applies to users running TWRP recovery on a rooted device. Don't have TWRP or don't know what this means? You're probably fine.
If you've recently installed or updated TWRP recovery, you might have faced that you can't install anything with it, and that the start screen is immediately shown when updating your device via Oxygen Updater.
Why is this happening to me?
From what it seems, this issue is caused by TWRP versions 3.2.2-0 and 3.2.3-0 being incompatible with the storage encryption technology present on OnePlus devices.
Normally, you're asked to enter your PIN or unlock pattern before installing an update / flashing something yourself. However, these new TWRP versions don't prompt for it anymore. Therefore, accessing the storage space of your device is no longer possible.
This is really frustrating, as almost all of your updates / .zip files are stored there. But luckily, there is a solution:
How do I fix this issue?
First of all, if you don't have encryption turned on or are not facing this issue, do not proceed with the steps below since flashing a new version of TWRP can be risky.
Now for the the solution: it involves downgrading TWRP to an earlier version, in which installing updates still worked correctly.
The downgrade can be done either by using a computer with the fastboot command, or by using flashing apps such as the Official TWRP app or Flashify on your device itself.
These are the steps you'll need to do:
- Make sure to download TWRP version 3.2.1-1 for your specific device. This is the version which worked fine, and is still fairly recent.
- Flash the version of TWRP using your method of choice. For fastboot users, connect your device to your computer in Fastboot mode and type fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-1-<yourdevice>.img. When using any of the flashing apps, browse to the correct TWRP.img file and flash it.
- Reboot your device. You'll now be able to access the working version of TWRP
- Do not update your TWRP version until it has been confirmed that this issue has been resolved.
Thanks to Peter Aarnoutse for reporting this issue.

So since twrp latest works fine on my device with encryption included, I can just start the update?

Can you link 3.2.1-1 version? https://eu.dl.twrp.me/enchilada/ There is only 3.2.1-0 or 3.2.2-0

I can confirm, all fine with twrp-3.2.2-0
but seems that safetynet fails

No problem with blue twrp.

Didn't disable my pattern lock..worked just fine.
I downloaded the zip online and installed through TWRP. Just make sure to reinstall your TWRP installer after installing the full rom OTA (wipe cache/dalvik first), then reboot back into TWRP and install Magisk..then boot into system.

The OOS 5.1.11's camera is ****tier than the 5.1.9 as you can read on the official thread on oneplus's forum, some people are advising not to upgrade

My MIX 3 stuck in bootloop with any custom ROM but MIUI ones

Hi. For some reason, I'm not able to make my phone working with any custom ROM but MIUI ones. I tried the guides about flashing the 9.5.9 first, flashing the firmware but still, every time I flash a custom ROM (with flash result 1 in TWRP) and I reboot into the system, the phone keeps rebooting quickly after displaying only the MI logo. Apparently it shows that there isn't a valid firmware installed, but I followed the guides with no success. Any advice? Thanks!

Hello try to install magisk after installing the rom it worked for me so i hope it does for you as well but don't reboot literally flash the rom when it's done flash magisk and i think it should do it

Format data after flash, not just wipe

Ok, I'll do it when I'll try to install a custom ROM again; I can't keep trying formatting my data and then returning back to MIUI I need to be sure it will work!

Hmm, unofficial twrp 3315 by mauronofrio?
Which device variant do you have, china or global? And device code name are perseus(4g)?
I suggest make a clean flash (without relock) with miflashtool, then install any new EU rom, after that try flash RR, with these step nothing could go wrong.

Yes, It should be the 3.3.1.5 by mauronofrio; my Mi MIX 3 is the global version and right now I'm using the MIUI 11 9.10.10. What version of MIUI should I install using miflashtool? Thanks!

I cannot get data decryption with Android Q on any of the twrp builds.

Try last global beta 9.6.27, its the most stable with new feature, even better than global stable.
Then install any eu miui10 rom newer than 9.6.27, after that install custom rom.
Remember to boot up after each install, not necessary to complete set up, just boot up to welcome screen.

you saved my life

Even though the thread is quite old I have exactly the same problem with no suggestion here in the forums working to fix it
Can anybody please help me getting this figured out. My goal is to install the Pixel experience Rom for perseus (non 5g) posted here.

You MUST FORMAT data partition when you install anything from stock roms. It should boot after you format, and I'm not saying with the rm -rf option in settings if you have TWRP. It must be a full format of data. I know some of the older ROMs used to take many minutes to boot the first time (like up to 10). I am not actively developing for android after they turned on the hardware backed verity states and broke Google Pay with unlocked bootloader, I left android.

Fastboot ROM for Android 11 needed, thanks!

Hi guys,
I made a mistake installing the Android 11 firmware update and afterwards flashing TWRP and installing Magisk.
Second mistake because I couldn't boot I flashed an old Fastboot ROM, but that doesn't help me.
Can anyone please point me to the fastboot rom for android 11 update?
Thank you very much.

Hey,
I bricked my OP7 after what seemed like successfully installing and using Android 11. I am getting the Teamwin blinking brick.
This(

I am pretty sure I know my OS, but is there a way to find out?
I was running the stable, but flashing stock boot just led me to a boot loop with the Original Recovery, it's giving me options to
1. Wipe data and cache
2. Reboot to fastboot
3. Reboot to recovery
The fastboot flash commands above to flash stock OS didn't work, due to one error or another.
Anyhow, I had read somewhere fastboot continue works(here: it wasn't working before for me), so I tried that again, and now I am just stuck on 1+ Fastboot screen. I will wait it out to see if it boots into system.
Otherwise, I am thinking I reload fastboot and flash stock boot just like I did- and from there wipe data, but what do I expect then??
The way I see it, I am just stuck in some serious boot issue, and might eventually have to go down the path of msndownloadtool, any suggestion?

Flashing the stock boot.img should be enough to boot into system without problems because TWRP can't decrypt data in android 11.
In this point you can try a factory reset from stock recovery this will keep device files but will erase all your config and apps
To figure out what version of firmware you had you can run this command in fastboot
Fastboot getvar all

Flashing didn't work to boot into system, I was just getting stuck in the Recovery boot loop, it finally booted into system once I wiped my data(files, music, etc -option);
I did try factory reset, only once I cleared the partition, did the boot loop give way to boot into system;
It booted back to Android 11, but it's all glitchy: Boot taking too long, WiFi not switching on, Call not working, Data is working though- basically it's very screwed up, got a couple of errors too- it's like watching an amnesiac old person.. if you get the gist.
So, now I am considering a stable build from Oneplus support website as a local upgrade and booting back to that..
I am hard pressed for options, let me know if you think something else works better, thanks!

I guess msmtool it's the best way to restore your phone, remember that msmtool will re-lock your bootloader so if you want root you need to unlock your bootloader again.
Use msmtool and instructions form Here(there's an android 9 and android 10 for Global and Europe versions, use android 10)

Sorta soft-locked K30 Pro Zoom

Hi guys, I'm at my wits end with my flashing experience currently.
I just unlocked my K30 PZ, and was messing around with manuelbianco's TWRP, and I seem to have effectively softlocked my phone
I'm pretty tired and have no idea how I ended up here, so all I can really post is what I can observe.
It's constantly stuck in bootloop, and while I have access via fastboot as well as LR-TEAM TWRP(MB doesnt work, boots to logo then goes to black screen), nothing I do seems to be able to break my bootloop.
Attempting to flash MIUI via miflash results in the attempt getting stuck on super.img, while flashing by XiaoMiTool also has the same effect, with the added exit code 1.
Also noteworthy is that according to twrp, "/vendor", "/product" and "/odm" all fail to mount due to invalid arguement, which I have no idea about.
I've attempted to manually mount them via twrp, and try and flash stock miui, however there is no change in the behavior.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Hi guys, I'm at my wits end with my flashing experience currently.
I just unlocked my K30 PZ, and was messing around with manuelbianco's TWRP, and I seem to have effectively softlocked my phone
I'm pretty tired and have no idea how I ended up here, so all I can really post is what I can observe.
It's constantly stuck in bootloop, and while I have access via fastboot as well as LR-TEAM TWRP(MB doesnt work, boots to logo then goes to black screen), nothing I do seems to be able to break my bootloop.
Attempting to flash MIUI via miflash results in the attempt getting stuck on super.img, while flashing by XiaoMiTool also has the same effect, with the added exit code 1.
Also noteworthy is that according to twrp, "/vendor", "/product" and "/odm" all fail to mount due to invalid arguement, which I have no idea about.
I've attempted to manually mount them via twrp, and try and flash stock miui, however there is no change in the behavior.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Which ROM did you want to flash?

I grabbed the latest Poco F2 Pro zip from the mi community, since I couldn't find any K30 Pro ROMs

Do you want a miui stock rom or eu roms or aosp roms?

My end goal is an AOSP rom like arrowOS or evolutionX.
I tried flashing arrowOS after everything had happened. It seems to flash normally, but on reboot it's shows the POCO logo then proceeds to bootloop

arrowOS or evolutionX have not the same firmware.
Dont relock your bootloader(otherwise the phone is dead)
1/flash this twrp with fasboot command https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=17248734326145679747
2/Twrp wipe format data write yes,reboot twrp
3/otg the rom or push in internal storage
4/flash rom(firmware)
5/format data again reboot twrp
6/flash rom(with the op instructions)

Final update before I sleep
I've followed the steps, and managed to get arrowOS to boot screen
But I waited 20 mins for initial boot, and was stuck at the loading screen
Formatted data again to retry, and am now letting it run for as long as I can, but so far I'm 15 mins in now and have not seen anything more than the initial boot loading screen.
Thanks for the help, cheers

format data yes,reboot twrp
flash the rom https://sourceforge.net/projects/xi...MK30Pro_V12.2.1.0.RJKCNXM_v12-11.zip/download
reboot system
nothing else
first boot take 5/6 minutes.
if the phone restarts on this rom you will be sure that the correct firmware is installed

So I formatted data, wiped all except OTG and then flashed the xiaomi.eu rom
Phone simply goes back into 2 bootloops before booting into twrp
Also to note, in advanced wipe system partition is missing in twrp. There is an option to mount, but it never shows up in wipe.
