OnePlus one does not go into recovery after updating it

Hello everyone, I'll tell you what happened
First I was in CM13.1, then I flashed to oxygen OS 3.1.4 custom
(When I flash the ROM, without warning me the recovery was updated to the version TWRP 3.0.3-2TugaPower, previously being in a version inferior to 2.8)
After logging in to the new recovery, I noticed that the recovery version was not on the TWRP page, so I decided to flash the most recent version of TWRP (twrp-3.1.1-0-bacon.img), flashe it through Android sdk (Fastboot), everything went well the pc recognized me the OPO in fastboot Mode and flashe the recovery without problems, the problem came when I try to enter the new recovery the OPO does not enter the recovery stays in the OnePlus Logo.
(Before updating the recovery I tried to restate the backup of my previous rom CM13.1 but when I was going to restart it it stays in the OnePlus logo, and when I go to recovery I fixed that in the section of "Mount" system is not checked , Active but still the same, and when I return to recovery is removed.)
I ask you if you can give me ideas to be able to have recovery again and revive my OPO plz.

I guess you didn't read the OP of Oxygen Os correctly,he clearly mentioned that this 'Tuga Power Recovery' is patched to work with Oxygen Os's firmware and one should not flash any other recovery.Now,what you can do is this,
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ikULjZZlloNHpOdVBrTzQxZzQ/view?usp=drive_web
> Download This file, install it somewhere and run Revert-2-CM.exe. Make sure you have fastboot drivers installed or it wont work.Avoid using any Antivirus program while doing this as they might give false alarms.After this you'll be restored to TWRP then you can flash any rom you want.The reason due to which you weren't able to find 'TugaPower Recovery' on TWRP page is because this is an Unofficial Recovery.

Question
What does the program do with the OPO?

If you are familiar with fastboot commands, this method should work. Had my OnePlus in the same situation last night messing around with Efidroid. Phone was bootlooping. Efidroid boot menu as well as recovery mode were both inaccessible. I had tried several other things but none worked for me. *CAUTION: this method did ERASE my userdata.* I downloaded a fastboot-able stock full firmware zip, then manually reflashed device. My beloved OnePlus is no longer my daily driver but still my fave device to experiment with so I just used COS 13.1 file. After full reboot, I downloaded and flashed official TWRP. Device is fully functional again, but without OOS installed.

It'll change your firmware and alter your recovery to a functional TWRP.You'll lose Oxygen Os after doing this.Though you can use this anytime when not being able to flash TWRP.

What should i do
Thanks a lot thanks to the method you told me my OPO has recovery again really thanks, but I have a question, I still in the TugaPower recovery, should I flash the stock recovery or the newest version of TWRP?
Because I do not know if flashing again the TWRP will happen the same

My OP 7 PRO(GM21AA) is being completely stuck at Fastboot.

Hey,
It's been always a huge headache since when the Android 10 beta and stables updates are out to root and install twrp. I've tried almost every way possible but every-time, end up being stuck at TWRP or being half way rooted. This time I've tried doing that again :
* I was at OxygenOs Android 10 stable version,
* My bootloader was unlocked as well as OEM unlocking and usb debugging was on,
* I turned my phone into fastboot, and flash the twrp image as:
fastboot flash boot file.img
Then after my phone booted into TWRP since once or twice showing that 0mb internal storage, I flashed the Magisk.zip from adb command, and rebooted it.
Since then, my phone is completely stucked at fastboot, I've tried and followed almost every xda suggestion and everything, I've tried flashing flash.bat file, I've tried flashing stock recovery, In fact I've tried flashing complete fastboot Rom (with all in one app)and it everytime boots me into Fatboot.
Please, help me out guys. I'm stressed out of this problem since yesterday's night.
Let me know your suggestions.

Maybe THIS can help you?

Actually this thread helped me just now in the same situation:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
That thread Jonsat mentioned didn't help me either, at all. Its not very clear that thread, telling in the thread to unbrick a OP7 to look at the thread of the OP6, there send them to OP5 and so on, eventually having to use a short written manual for the OP3 which mentions different versions and so on, its not the best for inexperienced people like me, it just send me on a wild chase downloading drivers and other things that eventually didnt work at all. Maybe I will try to rewrite it, as soon as I have enough experience to do so, i own this device for just a week.

Next time, read before you peform the install steps. It's nowhere like the older devices due to the A/B Recovery.
1. Use MSM Downloader to put you back to stock.
2. Upgrade to Android 10
3. Factory Reset to Clean out your phone (don't forget to unlock bootloader)
4. Initialize phone
5. Boot twrp (specific to Android Q + OP7 Pro)
6. Install TWRP and Magisk from TWRP
7. reboot and enjoy your rooted phone

What is MSM download tool? I'm going to try using All in One.
On searching for MSM tool, I found https://www.techoxygen.com/msm-download-tool/ is that correct?
Scratch this, MSMdownload is part of zip, I'll read through https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79972789&postcount=50 and see how it goes

Fastboot Bootloop

I got my OnePlus 7 Pro today and tried to install Magisk by patching the boot.img. After trying to flash the patched image, I now have an issue where rebooting the devices leads me straight back to the bootloader. Trying to enter recovery also leads me straight back to the bootloader. I tried flashing the original boot.img I extracted from the OTA update file provided by OnePlus, but it still isn't working. I do not have TWRP or any custom recovery installed. Any help would be much appreciated. I noticed similar threads, however they all installed twrp, though I haven't yet as trying to run "fastboot boot twrp.img" always resulted in it booting to a screen saying "fastboot mode" which wasn't terribly helpful.
Edit: Its not the tmobile/5g/carrier version. I purchased it through OnePlus' website though I forget the exact model number.

Well, "fastboot boot twrp.img" does not work on all devices, sometimes you have to use: fastboot flash boot insert_twrp_img_name_here.img​Learned that the hard way, also use the unofficial twrp from mauronofrio.
Had the same problem as you have, and fixed it with that unofficial twrp.

Did you need to completely revert to stock after the issue, or did flashing twrp fix the fastboot loop?
Edit: Trying to flash the stock fastboot rom currently as flashing twrp did nothing probably because me trying to fix it broke everything. Hopefully the stock rom will get everything back to a working state where I can try again, just this time flashing twrp.
Also using windows this time instead of linux....

Ok, so, trying to restore stock seems to have failed miserably.... any advice is most welcomed qq

OK.... so trying to unbrick the device using the msm stuff, I couldn't even make it to the downloader screen. After holding volume +/- and powering off, my screen is now black HOWEVER the phone gets detected by windows when I plug & unplug it. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone please help

Figured I'd give the solution here in case someone else is in the same exact problem as me:
Follow the instructions over at https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/op7pro-collection-unbrick-tools-t3956595
I tried to de-brick it using the fastboot roms and all that, no dice. The only thing that seems to have worked was following the above and using the msm tool. Everything wiped, but hey, at least the phone is bootable again and now I have a way to fix it should this happen again. Yay for happy endings.
Edit: Also, following Faith1105's advice, flashing twrp to boot instead of trying to just boot it first worked successfully and from there I was able to install magisk.
Edit 2: Now wifi isn't working.... why life, why...
Edit 3: OK: EVERYTHING IS GOOD NOW. Twrp ran into a boot loop issue, used twrp to flash the most recent android 10 zip, rebooted and was greeted by stock recovery, then used that to wipe absolutely everything and reboot. After skipping through initial setup and making use wifi was working I rebooted again and this time tried booting twrp the way the usual instructions say to, this time it worked for whatever reason so once that started I used twrp to flash twrp's installer and magisk. It looks like everything is working correctly now. If you have the same issue maybe this stuff will work for you or maybe not: I don't know, and honestly I'm now brain dead lol.

Issues rooting my oneplus 7 pro / installing twrp properly

Dear oneplus community,
the recent days I wanted to update my stock system and keep my magisk at the same time. But somehow things messed up and lost my root status so I had to go back and flash magisk via twrp again. Since I didn't install twrp as default recovery, I had to boot manually into it.
Here is one of the first issues: the command "fastboot boot recovery.img" had an output line which said that the file is unauthorized. That is quite a common error so I booted into twrp via the all in one tool. Alright here I am in the recovery, ready to install magisk again as usual. Now I am facing the unable to mount vendor, storage and system error, so I fixed it by going to exfat and back to ext4 if I am correct.
Now somehow things messed up even more because at this point I was stuck in a boot loop. I managed to get out of it with the MSM back to stock method.
So in the end I got a stock android 10 oxygenos system I want to have magisk on it again. But when I try to get into the recovery mode sometimes itll work and sometimes it wont. Sometimes the command prompt gives me the unauthorized error message again and sometimes I get stuck in the fastboot mode screen with the oneplus logo.
Eventually I get into the recovery by using various methods e.g. all in one tool, but also here it happenes that the command prompt gives me the unauthorized error.
At this point everything seems to be okay with the installation of magisk (no errors, etc.). But when I'm trying to boot up from the recovery it says that I have no OS installed whether I have magisk installed or not. In a second and third try I additionally tried to flash a rom before installing magisk so I am sure to actually having a OS installed. But it still gives me the same error.
Any ideas how to deal with that, so that I can install magisk on my stock rom properly without having these weird issues.
At this point I'm losing the belief in myself because it shouldn't be that hard at all, since I already rooted my previous phones like mi6 the oneplus 6 haswell..
I will post error codes later.
Thank you.

I actually just started a thread about installing TWRP and magisk yesterday. I am having the same problem installing. I assume it's the versions of each file that I am using that are incompatible, because I am following the instructions as written.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/current-twrp-magisk-unlocked-oneplus-7-t4094307
At this point, since no one seems to know what the problem is, I'm just gonna stay on stock, unlocked bootloader, no root. Which defeats the purpose of even having an unlocked bootloader, but at least I'll have functioning phone. If you need to install an OS on your phone, follow this method.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/bricked-oneplus-7-pro-stuck-fastboot-t3972469
This will get you back to factory settings, unlocked bootloader.

+1 here, actually quite confused how to get TWRP properly so it sticks, amd confused about two slots situation.

Now going back to stock via MSM Method. Im in a bootloop/bricked device again.
I'll try to do it one more time and i'll document my steps detailed, so more experienced users can follow the steps better.

TWRP can't decrypt + Fastboot loop

Unsure if this is the place since its also related to TWRP 3.7, any help is appreicated
Got stuck in a weird situation and wondering if anyone has ideas.
Current State:
Slot_A on OOS 11, can boot TWRP via Fastboot
Slot_B on OOS 12, can only boot into Fastboot
Originally on OOS 11, booted TWRP and made backups of all partitions (data, boot, system image, vendor image, etc.). Forgot to move this to computer so this is all still stored on device.
Proceeded with OOS 12 upgrade (into Slot B). Patched magisk, rebooted, then flashed TWRP 3.7 (FBEv1), direct installed magisk, rebooted. - Everything was functional, but decided to go back to OOS 11.
Thinking I could just use the TWRP backup made on OOS 11, I did the following:
Booted into 3.7 TWRP
Restored the backup for boot, system image, and vendor image
Set active slot to Slot A and reboot
It doesn't allow me to boot into the OS (Presumably because the data was re-encrypted for OOS 12?)
Set active-slot=b and reboot, but it's locked to fastboot.
I've attempted a few things, but I can't boot back into OOS. I would prefer to retrieve my TWRP backups first before doing an MSM reset.
When on Slot_A (older), I can only boot into TWRP 3.6.2 and 3.7. I'm guessing 3.6.2 can't decrypt since it's only configured for A11 and under, but not sure why 3.7 can't decrypt my data.
- It doesn't even ask for pin when TWRP launches; maybe it's reading the System for Slot_A and thinks i'm still on A11?
- running `twrp decrypt {pin}` doesn't seem to work. Unsure if there's something done to my lockscreen pin to be used as the encryption key/password?
When on Slot_A, attempting to boot into either the system or TWRP hangs.
Things I've tried:
Flashing A11 boot.img and magisk-patched boot.img to Slot_A -> Hangs on 1+ Spinning dots
Flashing A12 boot.img and magisk-patched boot.img to Slot_B -> Hangs on 1+ logo (Does show up on ADB though)
Booting Slot_B into TWRP 3.6.2 (Official, and Nebrassy unofficial for A12) and TWRP 3.7 -> Gets stuck on "Fastboot Mode" screen (fastboot cli still responds) or Hangs on snapdragon logo
Edit: Ended up using MSM. Needed device for work

I have a similiar problem to flash twrp to my phone ,
each time i try i get a fastboot loop too and i have to reset/unbrick it with the msm tool back to android 11
i use the OnePlus_7_Pro_Global_OxygenOS_11.0.5.1 package to unbrick the phone , i dont know how long and often i tried now to get twrp to work so that i can flash a custom fw ... i want root and a android 13 based cfw but i dont get it to work :/

I got it working with crdroid. heres some stuff
guacamole - Google Drive
drive.google.com
be carefull
¯\_(ツ)_/¯​
------------------------------------
I got stable and decrypted fs RW working on crdroid 9.1 firmware other than some weird bugs
i put it in the 2023-twrp

I have the exact same problem! Have you found a fix yet? This seems to happen when I try to install Android 13 based roms, and when I install a rom like Lineage OS, using their recovery, it works just fine.

No, and I don't know why, maybe i do something wrong or it is the Modell that make this trouble.
I thinking to sell my OP7PRO and buy another one ( and then I have the same problem with the new phone )
No no let the jokes aside, it must work, i mailed with OnePlus Support Germany but they only helped me to install A11 w/root and recovery, i thought ok now I can update to A13 so I loaded A13, unpacked the boot.img, Patched the boot.img
Installed A13 w/out errors, rebooted - Fastboot loop

RIP
Started ranting instead

TWRP for guacamole development seems to be fairly scarce, last working recovery I tried was when they started using fastboot boot to enter it. It was pretty hacky even then, currently it seems that nebrassy is the maintainer for twrp for guacamole.
Github: https://github.com/nebrassy Android 12 thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-12-official-teamwin-recovery-project.4269551/ Nebrassys Telegram has helpful info as well: https://t.me/NSSFB
last update I found was 2022:10:2 - https://www.pling.com/s/Phones/p/1835156
after a few days of torture I read a thread on here saying if you flashed twrp via magisk like you would if it was a magisk moule it would work normally. It worked on my device so I assume that its universal. I have filled my computer with guacamole related files Im uploading here before im forced to reinstall my os:
guacamole - Google Drive
drive.google.com
Just a fyi from what I have gathered from my experience you can get a stable twrp recovery with persistant / read write access and disabled encryption and basically use it with little error up until you try flashing a newer custom rom. My guess is when flashing a cfw the bootloader gets rewritten causing our boot image to become corrupted. Flashing twrp over / booting to twrp via fastboot or trying to install it via another custom recovery causes boot / recovery failures... meaning you cant really use it for flashing custom roms. I cant find the post with the install instructions I seen that helped me so here is what I think it was,
Found it: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-make-twrp-work-in-your-stock-a12.4522667/#post-87985325

lastly be mindful of a/b partition configuration or youll find yourself lost or bricked
Installation:
1. Obviously unlock the bootloader - OEM Unlock
2. Flash custom recovery (lineage/crdroid/etc)
3. (Personally I root here and again on the active slot so) flash magisk.zip
4. Reboot into installed ROM and install magisk android app and complete setup, reboot system
5. (another thing I like to do before flashing twrp) setup magisk enable all the basic options like prophide, deny list then set root userspace option to global.
6. Flash TWRP .zip (https://dl.twrp.me/guacamolev2/twrp-installer-3.7.0_12-0-guacamolev2.zip) via magisk
Alright! After all that you should be able to reboot into recovery via adb reboot recovery / fastboot or power menu and you find a working twrp recovery installed.
If you need help or want to **** around with the device you can @ me anytime and ill do my best to halp

You Confussing me a lot with your Posts before ...
i´m unsure what you mean exactly,
my bootloader is unlocked, with magisk i got a working root but after that i fail
what you mean with flash twrp with magisk ?
after unlocking the bootloader and get root, i tryd to flash twrp like before on other devices but that seems not working because i get then the fastboot loop
on another thread i found here on xda too, the guy wrote dont forget to activate the fastboot loop fix in the advanced options
but i not tried it yet again , so what should i do now ?
for now , i´m back on android11 , with stock oxygen os firmware
i have to do now the things like i did before again , unpack boot.img from the firmware that is installed on the device
patch it with magisk, flash it with "fastboot flash boot boot-patched.img" or is this step senseless ?
i mean you only wrote unlock bootloader and flash a cfw , but i don´t have a chance to flash a custom fw without a custom recovery ??
my recovery on my op7pro have no options for "install zip" or something else
addendum:
like i said you confused me a lot
addendum two:
or i do what i said before .. i sell my op7pro and buy me a one where i havent so much trouble installing twrp and root
i never had a phone before that made so much trouble in installing simple twrp ...
but i don´t found a phone yet that is compatible with kali and the pentest tools or wardriving tools like the oneplus , so i have a problem ,... i think i should drink now my selfmade blackberry liquor ( or blackberry booze ? ) and let the smartphone be a smartphone for now and power off my brain for a while

Yes, you need to patch your boot image via magisk and flash it with fastboot.
After you let magisk do its first time setup and then once it reboots you go to Magisk > Modules and flash the twrp recovery .zip file you got from twrp. link:https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus7pro.html just like you would if it was a magisk module.

the password for twrp decryption is your pin. Here are simpler instructions
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/how-to-make-twrp-work-in-your-stock-a12.4522667/#post-87985325

****... I forgot a step.
after flashing twrp as a module in magisk you dont reboot, you go back to the main screen hit the install button and choose direct install

Now I understand it more, i had before rooted the phone successful with magisk, but then I made a wrong decision and booted into Fastboot and flashed TWRP in Fastboot Mode as I did it before with all my Smarties i had before, coz those way with Fastboot worked before all the time so I never thought that this is the error in the procedure
I give the twrp flashing with magisk a try.
Thx for the help

Thank @yassine2217 because I would never have done so either.... Still many bugs but twrp is twrp
