Hi,
this is my first post on this forum, so please let me know if you are missing any information …
My problem: I'm experiencing a boot loop with my Nexus 5 after having changed its damaged battery. I didn't use it for a long time because of this damage. Now, it does start the boot sequence again, but only to the "circle" animation which it keeps showing indefinitely.
The circumstances:
I never tried to root the phone
USB debugging is not (and cannot be) enabled
I'm completely sure the problem is not caused by the power button (seems to be a common cause)
stock recovery is reachable
an old version of ClockWorkMod Recovery (from this thread) is bootable
three tested versions of TWRP won't boot
What I tried:
I unlocked the bootloader. With both the stock recovery and CWM, I tried to
wipe the device / the cache partition
flash a stock image (directly downloaded from the Google developer page)
flash a ResurrectionRemix image
None of these worked. It seems that the recovery systems are not able to write on or even to mount the necessary partitions. As the stock recovery apparently needs access to /cache for adb sideload, any attempt to flash anything results in an error message. CWM is able to sideload the zip file, but writing the image fails.
I furthermore tried the "factory" (not OTA) image from Google with its flash-all.sh script which tries to also update boot loader and other things via fastboot – every single one of these update attempts failed as well.
So, my question is: Does anyone of you know of a way to get my phone working again?
Many thanks in advance, best regards

Ever fix it?
Hey,
Quick rundown: Stuck in a bootloop to some sort of empty bootloader screen which has the readout:
"Start/Restart Bootloader/Recovery Mode/Power Off"
"Press volume key to select, and press power key to select"[Regarding above options]
"FastBoot Mode
PRODUCT_NAME - sdm845
VARIANT - SDM UFS
BOOTLOADER VERSION -
BASEBAND VERSION -
SERIAL NUMBER - [Gonna leave this out for now]
SECURE BOOT - yes
DEVICE STATE - unlocked" [this line is in red]
Every choice besides Power Off returns me to the same window. What can I do to recover from this?
Background:
So I was trying to update my OP6 to the current OxygenOS while keeping my root using TWRP and Magisk, which I've done in the past without any issue(i.e. go in recovery flash OS, flash current TWRP, reboot back to recovery, flash current Magisk as I understand it). However this time I was running into an issue flashing the Oxygen update getting an error that said it "failed to map file" for the zip. My first instinct was to update TWRP to see if the newest version didn't run into this issue so I flashed that followed by the current Magisk(no reboot in between). After booting back to standard operations everything seemed fine. I went back into recovery and tried the OS update again, but hit the same issue.
I couldn't find anything specific to OP6 with this issue, but similar questions with other devices suggested clearing the dalvik cache, which I tried to no useful effect. Then I came across this thread (forums.oneplus.com/threads/oxygen-os3-i-have-a-problem-please-help.440587/page-2 too new to hyperlink) and did what I think really messed me up which was boldly follow this guy's advice to do an advanced wipe of everything but internal storage(I also left USB storage intact) from TWRP. This failed to fix the issue with the file mapping error when I subsequently tried to flash the update, though I was able to flash TWRP and Magisk successfully again before rebooting and ending up in this loop.
Any assistance in fixing this or general tips on how to not be foolish when messing around with this stuff is greatly appreciated.
Update:
So I followed the advice gleaned from the resourceful person here(https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/help/bootloader-baseband-versions-blank-t3927565) to try working with the device from my computer with fastboot. At first it would recognize the device as "Android" but be unable to find a driver for it and adb/fastboot both failed to recognize it as a device. After installing MiniTool(more as a way to backup what was on the SD card) the proper device driver also got installed and I was able to access it with fastboot; I ran into similar issues as the linked thread above, solved it by switching to b(still failed) then back to a.
Currently I've got it booted into TWRP and I'm working on getting the current Oxygen .zip copied onto the phone storage but the transfer keeps failing after moving a negligible amount.
Update 2:
Via TWRP was able to sideload the current up-to-date standard OS onto it, however my Google backup seems to have decided to disappear on me and the only OP backup I have is ages old. Anyone have recommendations on data recovery tools?
next time just dont change the build.prop file.
serious, it just breaks the system.
heppened to me too.

Good to know, thanks for the info!
I assume that happened when I messed around with advanced wipe, do you know which of the folders I selected that would have been under? And just for future awareness, would that have not occurred had I just used TWRP's standard wipe instead?
You can run a program that will install 9.0.6 from scratch, running a batch file...
Save my life before yesterday....
Your device is bricked
If able to access the TWRP recovery then boot into twrp and try to get all the data stored in your computer.
Then use the Qualcomm flash tool to completely recover from your hard bricked OP6.
from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/op6-collection-unbrick-tools-t3914109
Then its easy, again unlock boot-loader flash TWRP and magisk.
I have a Redmi note 8 with MIUI 12 installed. Bootloader is unlocked and the phone is rooted.
When I try to flash TWRP recovery in fastboot mode using my PC, it successfully flashes and boots into the TWRP recovery. TWRP does not ask for any password for decrypting the files, and when I go to install>sdcard then the storage is all in random letters, completely unrecognizable.
I have tried a lot of tutorials on youtube but none of them worked. I tried flashing the latest version of TWRP, didn't work. I tried formatting all data and rebooting back into recovery mode, didn't work. (if you reboot to system after installing TWRP, the phone automatically deletes TWRP and the next time you open recovery mode you just get the default MI recovery, and you have to flash TWRP again to open TWRP recovery.) I tried almost everything on the internet but none of it worked. Is there any way I can make it ask for the decryption password? or have my files decrypted? I just need the TWRP for a one-time-use to install a custom ROM. I don't need it to be installed permanently, but no problem even if it does get installed permanently. I just want my custom ROM.
Please help
does that work?:
Boot into twrp, then
Code:
adb shell
twrp decrypt myPassword
(myPassword is your user password)

Okay, interessting. What's the exact error?
However, since you only want to use twrp to flash a custom OS, you could try to boot twrp (without flashing)
Code:
fastboot boot twrp.img
and then wipe data via twrp and then install your custom OS. You can use sideload which should be located under "advanced" I guess.
Code:
adb sideload myCustomOS.zip
EDIT: Don't boot out of twrp before sideloading, since your os should encrypt everything again after wiping which makes it unpossible for twrp to decrypt again (at least in your case, since it failed for some reason).
If you booted out of twrp, just wipe again and then sideload.
the correct and recommend way to install TWRP is
Flash TWRP
Erase userdata partition <~ it's important to do this as soon as possible since booting your device would just encrypt everything again
Format userdata partition
by doing this you would be able to access data partition files and folder would not be random letters.

Sorry for the late reply. Earlier i just gave up on installing the custom ROM and continued with my stock from. Today a tried again, installed TWRP and turns out it is not showing random letters now. its all regular storage. i didn't even do anything to decrypt it lol it just fixed itself. Now I will install the room myself. Thank you for your help though
Ah sh** here we go again. So i installed the custom rom successfully and everything worked fine, the TWRP too. but when I tried to flash a magisk patched image (the image that I used to root my phone in MIUI) then it got stuck in the boot screen. I had to flash the stock fastboot rom again.. And as expected from my piece of **** that xiaomi calls a phone, TWRP will show encrypted folders, and does not ask for a password. Same problem. Rooted my phone again, using the magisk root image, and it worked like usual, the phone rooted. Now i am stuck again in this bs. I guess I will wait for about 4-5 days and continue using the phone like normal. Maybe it will work again this time. I will try your method here first

Okay i tried wiping the data, cache and dalvik but it shows a huge essay of "error opening xxx/xxxx" in red text. Data wipe failed.
See you after like 4-5 days... hopefully
Update. I finally found a solution. It took literal hours of experimenting to find this.
-Flashed the fastboot ROM of the phone
-Rooted the phone by flashing magisk patched image
-Flashed Inception kernel via FK kernel manager
-Rebooting after flashing the kernel, It will get stuck in a black screen with no text whatsoever (probably a bootloop)
-Installed TWRP (This time TWRP does not show encrypted letters), Wiped all data, Transferred the custom ROM zip to the phone (while in TWRP) and flashing the rom
-The rom is flashed successfully. On the first reboot you get greeted with another bootloop. Fortunately the phone booted into TWRP. This time the folders are encrypted again.
-Successfully wiped the data (advanced>wipe data). No errors in data wiping this time.
-A fully working Corvus OS setup appears on rebooting.
I think the whole TWRP problem was fixed by the custom kernel. Anyways I am finally done with this now. You probably enjoyed seeing all this xD

I like that you keep trying and finding a solution, even though you had to invest hours to make it work!
Let's hope it will work if you update the OS though – I'd actually suggest a backup of all of your data before you do an update in the future, just to be safe!

tell me how to turn off a smartphone with a non-working sensor?
you can still use adb push command from pc to transfer files to your phone :
adb push "nameoffile" /sdcard
(place the file in your adb folder) I was able to root a phone that had this issue using this technique.
I think u should flash dm verity becoz when i flashed the rom and flashed dm verity it worked fine

Of course, thx.
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
~ I have bricked this device constantly while ****ing around so unless youre prepared to go to war with the ****er, Id quit messing with it.
MSM flashing with windows is the only way to recover from the void.

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

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
