unable to flash twrp

I am using op6 with oxygenos 5.1.11 (for unrelated reasons I cannot use android pie yet, so I had to downgrade to android 8.1 until a certain bug is fixed in 9).
I am trying to flash twrp, with no avail: when I use "fastboot flash recovery <twrp.img>", I get "FAILED (remote: '(recovery_a) No such partition')", and when I try using "fastboot boot <twrp.img>", the phone boots into an unresponsive state with a black screen and a white notification led.
what am I doing wrong? I've tried both twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.91_op6.img and the official twrp-3.2.3-1-enchilada.img in place of <twrp.img>, no difference.

Is your bootloader unlocked? (fastboot oem unlock)

of course it is!

First of all you can't flash recovery in fastboot on OP6. You need to boot the image and flash the recovery.zip after that you will have recovery permanently.
BTW why don't you search and have a look at the guide?
This time I do it for you. If you exactly follow these steps you will get recovery working.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3792643

Follow this video. Remember to use the twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img and twrp-installer-enchilada-3.2.1-0.zip, not the newer files.

Like the others said above, it sounds like you are trying to flash the version of TWRP for Pie onto an Oreo install, you need to get the last stable version of TWRP for Oreo, which I believe is 3.2.1. You'll need both the '.img' and '.zip' files. Good luck!

if you read my original post, I have tried to boot to recovery already, which didn't work. what I was not aware of is that the recovery image is android version-dependent. an old twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v8.83_op6.img did the job.

thanks! I was not aware that twrp images are android version-dependent and not backwards compatible. especially in the original enchilada twrp images one does not see it. an old twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v8.83_op6.img did the job.

[Guide] Installing Blu_spark TWRP | Magisk 20.1 On Stable Oxygen OS 10

Hi there just incase someone else who had problems [like me]
who is hesitant or looking for a guide on how to install Blu_Spark TWRP and Root the device.
The guide below will work 99.9% of the time. just follow the instructions carefully
Necessary Files:
Install OnePlus 6 Driver
Install Fastboot Drivers
TWRP Image
Magisk 20.1
twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.107_op6
Stock boot image thanks [URL="https://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=6994095" @Akhil701[/URL]
Step 1: [dont do this if you have installed ADB and Fastboot already]
Install Oneplus 6, ADB and Fastboot Drivers from the link above
* Reboot PC after installing
Step 2:
Put
Code:
Stock Boot Image [boot.img]
twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.107_op6.zip and
Magisk-v20.1.zip
on your internal storage
Also Put
Code:
twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img
on your desktop
Step 3: Reboot device in fastboot/bootloader mode
Step 4: Connect Device to PC Via USB Cable
Step 5: On your desktop Press Shift Right Click then click the [Open Command Prompt Here]
Step 6: on the CMD Windows Type
Code:

Press enter and see if your device shows up.
Step 7: type in the CMD Window
Code:
fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-11-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img
press enter then after that on your phone screen use volume up or down button to reboot to recovery
Step 8:
Once you have the TWRP Screen
flash the stock boot image [boot.img] in boot partition [DO NOT Reboot!]
now go back and flash the Blu_Spark TWRP and then reboot to recovery
Step 9: Rooting
Flash Magisk 20.1.zip then reboot to system.
Thats it! no data will be wiped as long as your bootloader is already unlocked.
thanks to
@Funk Wizard for the initial instruction on how to install twrp and root

Patched boot.img or why we need the boot image after flashing OOS10 via local update?

im not sure about that also. im just hesitant to skip that step. it might break something. thats why i added that step on this guide

Thnx, this was a very easy walkthrough.
Only thing I want to say is that not everyone knows how to flash the 'boot.img' through TWRP. Maybe you can explain that in more detail.

no patched boot.img you need
1. connect your OP6 to PC
2. flash TWRP (from mauronofrio) by fastboot from PC
3. reboot from fastboot to recovery
4. in TWRP flash stock img OOS, don´t reboot
5. in TWRP flash TWRP (blu_spark 9.107)
6- reboot to TWRP to another slot
7. in TWRP flash Magisk 20.1
8. reboot to system

I have noticed this too, probably they have changed somehow the system, even fastboot boot doesn't work anymore....
I had to install magisk via boot.img patching

Functionally on OOS 10.0.1 OP6 ?

So I was unable to flash the new OTA through twrp running on my rooted OP6.
As such, I opted to install the new OTA through the "local install" option.
That worked great. Settings area all the same. Bootloader still unlocked (I double checked).
Drivers are all installed on my Windows 10 PC.
However, no matter what I attempt to flash from command prompt I always get:
FAILED (remote: unkown command)
Does anyone know of a solution yet?
I have been reinstalling drivers and rebooting my PC with no luck thus far.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Update:
Whelp now that it is upgraded to Android 10 (and was wiped of all data when I locked and then unlocked the bootloader again) it will not allow me to downgrade back to Andriod 9 through the local upgrade option and since I can not get fastboot to accept any commands I am stuck now in Andriod 10 without the ability to change anything at the moment.

i knew it while reading but thanks to the screenshot you provided you saved me from sounding "user error" once again and piss of so many who prefer to blame things and others LOL
in short, wrong command, it's fastboot flash boot <image name>
BTW and since i'm already at it, if anyone has a Mac runniing 10.15 "Catalina" and fastboot is working from terminal, i'd like to learn how he/she's done it
just came to my mind to ask here since i have to use windows 10 under parallels desktop to fastboot flash my android stuff at the moment and of course that's just an "Emergency" choice for me, everyone using both platforms will understand

Wow. Okay.
This is becoming a comedy of errors on my part.
Oh boy now I am getting Qualcom flashdump messages...
Huh now it is just booting normal but not letting me get into the new recovery flash...
I got it all fixed.
Thank you everyone for your help and patience with my posts.

Does 10.0.1 still have the ability to do screen-off gestures for music? I like 10 but on my wife's 7t, either she didn't turn them on, our it didn't have them so I'm curious if there same thing is happening with this? I also noticed on her 7t, constant data problems when's switching from WiFi to data. Sometimes data won't come back and only a reboot solves. I know it's a bug on OOS 10 on 7t but wondering if it's a device specific bug or an Android 10 bug? Anyone having op6 issues with data not coming back when switching from WiFi?

WIFI problem solved!

Hi guys, sorry to resurrect this thread. I did everything in the correct order using 10.0.3.0 and after step 8 (reboot after flashing blu_spark) my phone gets stuck on blu_spark splash screen without any option to boot into twrp. Normal boot results in bootloop... Any ideas? Do I need to use different versions of twrp.img and .zip?

Unable to install TWRP - Stuck fastboot mode

Phone: OnePlus 7 Pro
Build number: Oxygen OS 10.0.3 GM21BA
Anndroid Version: 10
Model: GM1913
Hi all,
I received yesterday my Oneplus 7 Pro. My objective is to install nethunter fully rooted.
After looking the requirements in the offensive security website i noticed i need 3 things
TWRP
Magisk
DM-Verify
I started with TWRP watching different tutorials and comparing them but they are similar.
- Installed sdk platform tools and Minimal adb/fastboot ( tried both ways )
-unlocked the bootloader and enabled usb debug mode.
- Once i do " fastboot boot twrp.img " everything seems " okay " in the terminal, but the phone becomes stuck in fastboot mode logo image, it never actually boots into the twrp.
In a different tutorial, i replaced the "fastboot boot twrp.img" with " fastboot flash boot twrp.img ". This broke my phone i couldn't start the android or go the recovery mode, i couldn't leave fastboot mode unless to restart or to turn off the phone. I fixed this by " fastboot flash boot boot.img " that i had available in the platform tools folder.
I tried different twrp images:
TWRP 3.3.1-74 Unified Unofficial Pie by mauronofrio
TWRP 3.3.1-70 Unified Unofficial Pie by mauronofrio
twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img
Nothing seems to work, i don't know what else to try or what am i doing wrong.
I've been 8 hours around this so any help would be deeply appreciated.
Kind regards,

I have an almost identical problem to you.
except: my device is GM1910, I had a stock hydrogen OS, which has been converted to oxygen OS.
so far, I have tried twrp-3.3.1-0, 3.3.1-2, 3.3.1-3, 3.3.1-4, on oxygen OS version 10.0.2.GM21AA, 10.0.3.GM21AA, and 10.3.0.GM21AA, all would stuck at the fastboot mode logo screen
Rolling back to a lower version of oxygen OS, including version 9.5.1 and 9.5.7 causes my OP7P in bootloader mode no longer recognized by "fastboot devices", or even by "dmseg" as a usb device.
I received a suggestion of trying the latest TWRP 3.3.1-74 build, which I intend to try later tonight, but got not so optimistic about, seeing that you've experimented with TWRP 3.3.1-74 Unified Unofficial Pie by mauronofrio
One observation I do like to make, is that android 9 is considered as Pie while android 10 was developed from android Q.
since your device is already android 10 at version 10.0.3, should you still use the Pie TWRP build?

Hi OblixioN,
I tried the image with the Q at the end: TWRP 3.3.1-74 Unified Unofficial Q by mauronofrio and it worked. I had no idea what the Q or Pie meant so your information just solved my problem. I assume it will work for you.
Huge thanks!

Thanks - worked for me as well!
Unfortunately I formated before getting to this solution, so rather unnecessary for me, but what I did was getting the unofficial twrp for guacamole here:
h-t-t-p-s://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261707787
(from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322)
Then I booted to fastboot at ran
Code:
fastboot set_active a
fastboot boot .\twrp-3.3.1-75-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img
fastboot set_active b
fastboot boot .\twrp-3.3.1-75-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img
Now I could boot into twrp, it found all the internal data storage, and I could sideload
Code:
adb sideload .\twrp-installer-3.3.1-4-guacamole.zip
adb sideload .\Magisk-v20.3.zip

It means if you are on Android Q, you need to use the TWRP version that supports Android Q.

Hey, I seem to have the same problem but how do u get it unstuck from the Fastboot Mode so I can try another version of TWRP?

hey there.
So, first of, You restart it by pressing and holding volume up, down and power at the same time for 10+ seconds.
And second, try updating Oxygen OS to its latest version. It works for me now, just unpacked a new OnePlus 7 Pro, didn't work on Android 9, works on Android 10 latest update.

I tried installing a new kernal and after that mine would go directly to bootloader, no matter what I did it went directly to bootload, thankfully fastboot was still active but using boot cmd into anything would fail,, ,I started my msm tool, and rebooted into edl and as soon as a com port became active on the MSM panel I hit start, and it took off running and did it's thing,

I think my issue had two reasons!
1. The boot.img file i used was from the earlier Oxygen update not the version i had just installed.
2. The phone encryption (but i doubt this!)
Anyway since nothing helped i erased the phone and restored it Now it's working again!

OnePlus 6 unable to boot into TWRP -- cannot reinstall OOS. Next steps?

OnePlus 6, Ubuntu 18.04. I think I've basically wiped everything.
I am trying to follow https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-6-t3796665 but I can't get either of these to boot:
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-2-enchelada.img
Doing this gives me the OnePlus logo with "Fastboot Mode" underneath and it hangs.
I've tried
Code:
fastboot --set-active=b
fastboot flash slot_b TWRP.img
and
Code:
fastboot flash slot_b twrp-3.3.1-2-enchilada.img
Rebooting into slot_b recovery gives me the warning about "The boot loader is unlocked and software integrity cannot be guaranteed. ... PRESS POWER KEY TO PAUSE BOOT" and then it hangs.
I am trying to get back to stock OOS so I can try Havoc but I'll settle for the former just to get the phone working.
I have a nandroid backup, I rsynced my /sdcard, and I have a Titanium backup.
I really need some guidance here...

What should I make of
Code:
$fastboot erase recovery
erasing 'recovery'...

Havoc OS (Havoc-OS-v3.1-20200120-enchilada-Official.zip). The problem was that somehow my pin got corrupted/changed after my first couple of boots into Havoc. That precipitated a big mess.
That said, I switched to my desktop (also running Ubuntu 18.04) and got a new version of the SDK directly from android.com, and replaced the files that came from the repo. That was able to do the formatting and install the stock image so now I just need to go through the procedure again...
I wish I'd had a better sense of what was going on with the partition table/fstab/blkid because I was able to get in with adb shell and I theoretically could have manually formatted...

It looks like you had android 10 and you flashed official twrp, which is android 9 only, which happened to me before. I could recommend using this to flash OOS through fastboot.

I haven't checked to see what, if any, recovery is on there now. I'm assuming that the stock one was flashed on when I was able to get 10.3.0-OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_042_all_1912142031_0fb330-FASTBOOT.zip. Now that I've got it working again, how do I put Havoc on it? Isn't that based on Android 10 ... ?
I found this in one of the many tabs I had open from figuring all this out: https://del.dog/pelihovape.txt. I wish it had some version numbers!

I was looking around but I could not find what is going on with Havoc OS. I would probably recommended choosing a better maintained ROM with up to date instructions and support. Maybe Pixen or something. I was only able to find this old thread. Maybe you have better luck.
But if you really want Havoc, figure out first if it is androdi 9 or 10. If it is 10, use malfuriono unofficial twrp. If it is 9, you have to downgrade to OOS 9.0.9 first. Also, dirty flashes tend to cause problems, I would not recommended doing that. Make sure you wipe appropriate partitions

rebooted , now its caught in bootloop.
Tried fastboot --set-active=a and it didnt make a difference.
When looking at adb devices it shows the attached phone as unauthorized.
Dont know if this helps
Can get into fastboot

You flashed the OS to the bootloader. Not sure how to help you, man. Maybe try the EDL Tool. That worked for me. Also, always install TWRP and flash magisk zip through TWRP. It's foolproof.

TWRP doesnt work with android 11 or the oneplus 8 as far as I know, last time I looked.
Did a tool and fixed the crashes and bootloop, then followed a youtube video and guide.
Found out I ended up doing a different OS version that didnt match.

TWRP for the 8T works reasonably well. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...recovery-project-8t-kebab-2021-09-04.4302449/
