Bricked while trying to install TWRP - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

So I've had quite of a rough evening today, first of all: I'm not a rooting newbie, so I really thought I could work out all errors on my own.
Haven't rootet my GM1910 yet, so I wanted to do that. Downloaded the latest TWRP, unlocked the Bootloader, and after "flashing" the recovery, nothing worked anymore. Normally it just jumped into the recovery, now I only got the OnePlus logo with the Text "Fastboot Mode"
this was the errormessage:
"downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.166s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)"
After some trying around and not getting it to work, I tried using this to get the device working again:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-pro-t3931424
tried both flashall.zip and flash-all-partitions.zip.
Now I'm in the QUALCOM CRASHDUMP again with the message
"dm-verity device corrupted Force Dump
kernel_restart"
I've been looking through forms for hours but nothing seems to work for me (mainly the things I wrote above)
I'd really appreciate any help, kind of getting sweaty palms now

Maybe this? It's what I used to unbrick mine but I'm tmobile GM1915....
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/help/how-to-convert-tmobile-op7-to-t3935947

Yup, thanks for the reply, that worked! I'm not trying to root my device anymore though :laugh:
Thanks for making my night sleepable today

If you're trying to root your device.. and you have a pc.. just patch the boot.img of your latest rom using magisk.. then flash it via adb.. ???

What are the exact commands/steps did you us to flash TWRP? And why is "flashing" in quotes? You either boot TWRP.img and can just flash Magisk for root without flashing TWRP; or you boot TWRP.img, flash the TWRP installer zip, flash Magisk.
And why does it say "boot.img"? What file are you trying to boot exactly? You should be booting the TWRP.img
I suspect the condition may be due to wrong fastboot command or flashing the wrong file. But we'd need to know the details requested above to figure out what went wrong. What root guide were you following?
In any case, going to fastboot mode, the phone is most likely not bricked. Just stuck in a state that it can't boot into OOS. Probably can recovery using a fastboot ROM, or flash back to stock boot.img.

Hi there,
This problem happened to me exactly to days ago and I'm struggling with it.
My last version of Oxygen OS was 10.3.0
Please people, tell us your Oxyygen OS version before the incident.
@redpoint73 as you may see in my attachment, this isn't an error or a mistype. It seems to be a real nasty problem

Did you try changing the twrp img file name to "twrp.img" (or similar, just something less complicated) and copying into your fastboot folder?
I agree the error message that it is looking for a file "boot.img" is strange and disconcerting. My suggestion may not fix this, but it is worth a try.

But in the same folder as fastboot.exe, so you don't need to give a path in the command? I know this shouldn't change anything (the way you did it should work). But just an idea. The command would simply be:
fastboot boot twrp74.img
Might be a quirk with 10.0.3 (as you seem to already be eluding) or the TWRP build (maybe try another, slightly older?). But again, just throwing out some ideas to try.

Was on the latest OOS Beta. But since using the freshly installed ROM with the MSM Tool, my device feels way smoother and the FPS works way faster. I don't know if thats because I bought the Chinese Version of the phone and there where a lot of trojans running in the background /s
But seriously though, way smoother. Probably partly caused by the longer animation duration set by default, but no idea about the FPS

[fixed] Did I brick it?

Hi there. I was fooling around with my TF300T (I was foolish at some point, probably) and managed to install Jellybean using this method. It started working fine. So it did that I restored my files using Titanium Backup Pro, installed from the App store right after the first boot. The apps/data I restored with Titanium Backup, as far as I can remember, were mostly games and Dolphin stuff, nothing directly related to system, as far as I know.
After this backup restoration, I used the tablet a little more, played the games to check if my progress was not lost and all that. It worked, Angry Birds at least had all the levels I completed before yet marked as completed after restore the procedure.
So far so goo... no! For some reason I can't remember I restarted the tablet, at least I tried! It got stuck on the loading screen (the white Asus, not the shiny one). So, after that I tried to restore it again, and then I probably did something completely stupid and I can't even remember what.
I even tried superwipe on it, but that didn't work neither.
At this point my tablet let me flash recovery image, CWM and TWRP. I can use adb shell with CWM but not with TWRP.
For some reason, I don't know, when I use CWM it doesn't mount /sdcard, TWRP seem to be mounting it, but go figure, I can only access the /sdcard that TWRP mounts using TWRP, if I change the recovery to CWM for some bizarre (or obvious to you guys) reason, I can't mount it.
And no matter what recovery I use, I can't flash any ROM. Both recovery tells me it was flashed, no error message (at least not at the screen) but every time it reboots to finish the installation, I see the Asus logo with a progress bar that goes from 0% to 100% in less then one second, and once it's filled, the tablet reboots itself and show me the regular boot screen with the Asus logo (again, the white one, not the silver-shiny).
So, resuming my problem, I can fastboot and adb shell it (adb only with ClockWorkMod Touch), but flashing doesn't seem to work. And I believe the internal memory/storage structure have been compromised.
How do I fix this?
Here is what I did to fix it

Looks like partition sizes chaged with the Asus update. I couldn't flash CM10 or any other rom as well (signature mismatch). If you installed the official 4.1.1 update, you need to manually install it again. Older versions and rollbacks wont work unless you push to some trickery mmcblk0p4, but that's another thread in itself
Download the JB update from Asus's website (if you still have it, that's fine) and extract the blob file. Put the blob file in teh same directory as your fastboot. Boot your TF300 into bootloader and enter:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system blob
It will take a while to install, so be patient. Hope this helps

Doing it now. I'll update as soon as I finish it. Thank you very much for your reply.
UPDATE 1: I can see the shiny-silver ASUS and the progress circles, waiting to see what happen!
UPDATE 2: Setting up Jellybean now (Welcome setup)!
UPDATE 3: Looks like it's working!
Dude, thank you so much! I'll fool around with it. Is there a root method working already? I was wondering if there's a way to restore my backups, at least the ones I made for my gaming progress.
Man you saved my life. Thank you very much!
When i try it i get error: "Failed to process command flash: system error(0xa)"
any help?
Thank you for posting this thread, I wasn't paying attention one day and flashed the wrong version of something and ended up stuck on the white Asus logo. Flashed a ROM's blob via fastboot and was up and running in no time, though it did take 2 attempts, the first time it received the blob but failed to write it.

I recommend you to use the CleanROM 2.5, it's stable and fast! Really fast! Faster then the ASUS Stock ROMs. I'm really enjoying it.
Still can't flash ROMs
Thanks so much for this. It really helped to get me back to where I was. However, I still can't flash any roms besides the stock asus jb. What can i do? I've tried several different ROMs. I still get stuck at the ASUS "The Device is Unlocked" page

For CleanROM he'll need a specific TWRP version. It's better give CleanROM thread a read before install it.

This tablet is such a fiesty little *****... Nowhere near as simple as my GNex to flash things.
I'm having the exact same issue as you did. It just will NOT let me flash the stock JB rom. The tablet tells me Failed to process command flash:systemerror (oxa) and command prompt says

1. Please, make sure the Tablet is the only one Android device connected to your computer
2. The bootloader is unlocked, right?
3. It's not the matter (almost impossible to be the case), but what are you using as recovery, TWRP or CWM?
4. Are you trying to flash the Official ROM?

Soft bricked shield tablet PLEASE HELP!

So I bought my shield tablet back in March, used it until about may I think. Was browsing the internet then it suddenly crashed and got stuck on the Nvidia boot screen. tried to reboot several times. Nothing. So I forgot about it and thought I would just google the reset option later when I had time. Now since June I have tried everything! From factory reset to fast boot and adb my pc won't even recognize my tablet. Also I never turned on usb dbugging cause I didn't even know what that was. I even gave it to the IT guys at work and they couldn't fix it. Now after reading everything there is to read on this problem and trying to fix it myself I'm stuck on the no command screen with the dead android robot. And now I hear there is a recall do to the battery, I can't even check what type I have. So if someone can please help me I would be much appreciative. Also this happened after updating to the latest OS.
okay so i was able to unlock the bootloader and start flashing but from fastboot flash recovery.img and beyond it says failed to write. any ideas of why?

Hello,
Did you use "Fastboot flash recovery.img" as your command line??
I believe it is "Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"
If you were able to unlock bootloader you're on the right track.

TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project) is a custom recovery that you can flash on your device. You can flash it like the stock recovery over fastboot. With TWRP you can make full system backups, installing roms or other stuff, wipe partitions and more. Keep trying to install the drivers on your pc. Try to use another usb slot or boot your pc into test mode to install the driver. If you can still access the bootloader, you have really good chances to rescue your device.
Okay will try that. Thanks man.

I see what your doing wrong. You probably don't even have the recovery img to flash. That's why it's giving you a write error.
There is a tutorial in the general section, that should have all the files and links, etc etc that you'll need to flash TWRP/CWM recovery and root the device if you want

First off, let me ask, what is your end result for the tablet?? Are you trying to just go a Complete stock tablet or are you trying to do anything custom (ex. Custom rom, recovery etc etc)
I'm assuming that since you unlocked your Bootloader, your trying to do something custom.

Those official nVidia recovery images come with smaller .img files such as recovery.img, system.img, etc. You'll need to flash those one by one ("fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", then run "fastboot flash system system.img", etc. etc.) or you can just run the flashall script that I think is included in the nVidia images.
Otherwise, if you want to flash TWRP, you'll need to download the TWRP recovery (you can rename it to "twrp-recovery.zip"). Then you'll need to "fastboot flash twrp-recovery.zip" in order to flash the twrp recovery to your tablet.

OK. Then the link I gave earlier should help flash stock software onto your tablet.
However, that guide is only to go back to factory "state" Operating System wise. It may not help with hardware. Once your flash everything correctly but device still doesn't boot, its probably not software related.

After you unlocked the device but before trying to flash anything else on the device, try putting the shield into Fastboot mode. At the bootloader, select fastboot using the volume buttons.

Bringing you back to the bootloader was expected behavior. The "write fail" is a mystery to me. Sorry, that is all that I can offer.

Trying to flash TRWP Moto Z recovery - not working

Hey everyone, longtime lurker here finally going to try to get involved more since I just got a new Moto Z and I don't have much of a background with motorola hardware/software. I'm trying to flash recoveries through fastboot and I can't seem to get it working. I'm probably going to wait a while before I try again since there is not much support for the moto z yet. I am running MPL24.246-45 v6.0.1 XT1650-03, I have unlocked the bootloader through the instructions on the motorola website.
On the bootloader screen I can confirm it is now unlocked, but everytime I flash the TRWP recovery through fastboot I get the error message: "<bootloader> img not working or corrupt". I am trying to flash the most recent twrp recoveries for moto Z (twrp-3.0.2-0-griffin.img) but wasn't able to successfully flash it.
Coming from a samsung background, I might be skipping a step or doing something wrong. I am running the bell canadian firmware. Since I messed up my partitions on my last phone I want to be careful with this one, I mostly want to figure out why I am getting this error while trying to flash the recovery when
my bootloader is unlocked and when I check "adb devices" my moto is being read.
Thanks!!

didn't try it yet, but did you try renaming it to recovery.img (if on windows be sure extenstions are shown so it is not actually recovery.img.img) and run (didn't see which command you are using:

I've tried both with the original twrp name and extension as well as with renaming it to recovery.img, didn't seem to make a difference. If I am connection to the device itself does that mean that adb/sideload is installed properly? I mean I was able to unlocked the bootloader so I would assume so.

i really don't know then.. if you successfully unlocked bootloader then fastboot should be ok. you can check in device manager. it should be bootloader iterface not adb interface there (you got me confused with mentioning adb so I am just writing to be sure).
also check if your device is shown when typing
Code:
fastboot devices
or try redownloading twrp.
otherwise I am out of ideas, sorry.

Sorry for my confusion with adb/sideload - from what I understand I need both to be able to connect to my device (correct me if im wrong). In the bootloader menu I see "flashing_unlocked" which I believe confirms my bootloader being unlocked, but then at the top of the text right under the dead android guy I see "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)" could that be an issue?
I can retry downloading the recovery from the TWRP site, but I know I'm downloading the official one already, just can't put my finger on why I'm getting that error message if others are doing it successfully.
thanks for helping :good:

You're at the bootloader, it says Flashing Unlock so yes your bootloader is unlocked and you should be able to flash TWRP no problem.
Did you recently install this .45 firmware? Are you sure that TWRP wasnt actually flashed? I see lots of errors like this from the bootloader and its usually just rubbish.
The twrp does not show the actual memory value of my cell phone and does not let me paste ROM backup, from insufficient memory? how to support it?
I updated my phone to .45 when I bought the phone I believe 1-2 weeks ago, it's definitely NOT flashed as the flashing process runs for 0.2 seconds and fails. I can even boot in the stock recovery afterwards confirming that nothing flashed. I wish I knew what I was doing wrong? possibility of drivers not installed properly?
Before I try and flash recovery I check USB debugging, OEM is unlocked, don't verify ADB files and accept Unknown sources. Is there anything I'm missing?
What if fastboot boot twrpname.img

I've been doing fastboot flash twrpname.img after opening cmd terminal with SHIFT-MOUSE2 in the designated folder. I have not tried that command specifically what's the difference between doing fastboot flash/boot as far as flashing a recovery.img
edit: I've read on different articles that people sometimes try and flash from the recovery menu? I understood it has to be while your are on the bootloader screen, could it be something to do with that? Or is it still a possibility the drivers may not be installed properly.

With fastboot boot you send recovery to your phone and ask it to boot on it without really flashing it...
It's useful e.g. to take a full stock backup including original recovery, to test a recovery prior to flash it or to use TWRP to root BUT remain on stock recovery...
Not on all phones it works, but on Moto Z should....
P.S.: you have to be on fastboot screen not on recovery when flashing...

by fastboot screen you mean the bootloader menu right?
I've been accessing cmd from designated folder with .img file in it
- adb fastboot recovery
- fastboot flash recovery.img..
and I get the "img not working or corrupt" after it tries to flash it (lasts 0.2 seconds) and nothing is done.

Right, bootloader screen. Enter on it by key-comb... not by command...
Even the real flash take same time... Sending seems to work, is something on verify that doesn't "like" it...
Try to download again recovery and/or check its MD5...
if reading correctly (and what I told you yesterday) command is
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and not
fastboot flash recovery.img

try following this instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69065373&postcount=14
and download eu rom from here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/griffin/official/RETEU/
i don't know from which ROM you are coming, don't know if downgrading works, but this was onl RETEU ROM i could find.
I have the exact same phone and I've upgraded to Nougat but I got my TWRP working. You need an unlocked bootloader and after upgrading to nougat, the option "unlock OEM" need to be enabled again.
I've used this TWRP : https://dl.twrp.me/griffin/twrp-3.0.2-0-griffin.img.html
Also I tried to only boot on it at first with the command fastboot boot twrp.img then I saw it was working, I flashed it with fastboot flash recovery twrp.img but got the error : (bootloader) image not signed or corrupt . But I booted the recovery from the bootloader and TWRP was working even with this error.

Yeessss... I don't know how could I forgot it!!! :silly:
The message (I forgot I received too...) is *only* to indicate that recovery is not signed! But before there is a clear "Done" confirming the flash!
Just boot on it!

OP6 completely stuck

Hi
I tried flash and root my OP6 following a tuto on forums.oneplus.com
And now I'm completely stuck.
When I try to boot normally, I have a black screen with just a blue notification led
when I try to boot via the command : fastboot boot twrp-3.2.3-0-enchilada.img, same thing, black screen.
And on fastboot mode I can't do anything:
I tried to erase my data, but it changed nothing.
help me please.

wrong twrp used. https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...covery-theme-blacked-twrp-acuicultor-t3847752 is a working twrp. use it. The blank screen with blue light means no os installed.
after flashing twrp, you then need to get magisk https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases and flash as well or you will bootloop.
I just have to run the fastboot boot with this image ?
unfortunately, it doesn't work, I just have a blanck black screen again, with just the blue led.

stupid question, is your bootloader unlocked?
when you first boot to fastboot mode, last line is bootloader state.

Yep, first things I did.
I then boot on TWRP and install some img and zip (I don't have the tuto anymore and don't remember the files name)
and when I reboot to system it started crash (no boot can't boot twrp, only access to fastboot)

download this https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1322778262904011624
this will allow us to fastboot flash stock rom back to phone. Then i can safely guide you to proper twrp and root.

While reading this, your profile picture is spot on. My thoughts exactly
I'm stuck in the same situation ! HELP
Hey, I saw your problem and now while I was trying to flash the twrp I got stuck onto the same situation and what is worse is I've no recovery and I'm stuck on the blue notification light black screen.
What should I do now? I'm currently downloading the file posted earlier here as I write this but I have a MacBook will it work on this also?
I have an unlocked boot loader if it helps.
I also was on 8.1.0 before all of this but I'm pretty sure I don't have any OS as of now.
Thank you.

Need help for soft brick (eRecovery not working)

What I have done
I unlocked the bootloader of my Honor 6x using the testpoint method
I installed TWRP and Magisk
I decided that I was not satisfied with the stock OS and wanted to install a custom ROM
I forgot to make a backup using TWRP before flashing
I tried to flash LineageOS but it did not work and caused a bootloop (the boot animation shows for about 5 minutes and then reboots)
Using Huawei eRecovery to restore the device was not possible, and it returns the message of "Getting package info failed".
This is likely due to the website "http://update.hicloud.com/" being down
Cannot download any stock ROMs as the downloads I found are all from "http://update.hicloud.com/"
This is the only thread I found about the website being down: link
After some digging I found an old ROM (EMUI 4) that I can use, and flashed it using TWRP
The system booted up just fine after that, but the system looked really old and I wanted to update it
I found an update file and tried to install it using the dload method, which installed through the Huawei recovery just fine.
The phone rebooted and now bootloops to the Huawei eRecovery everytime.
I thought of flashing TWRP again so that maybe I can flash the old rom again, but it does not work and returns the following errors.
command: fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'image verification error')
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp.img
error: Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error')
Questions
What can I do in this situation with only have access to fastboot commands and the Huawei eRecovery?
Should I just wait for the update website to come back up so that the eRecovery will work and I can install the latest OS from there? Will that ever happen?
hey i can help ! which version of twrp are you trying to flash ?

The update website isn't going to come back anytime soon. But if you just don't mind opening your device again(you need to access the test point), there's a fix. this method doesn't just need anything. even if your device is hard bricked, it can get you back running. This was described in a youtube video with working links based on a forum on xda.

I got a similar problem recently but I flashed update.zip of emui 8 - > Bootlooped - > factory reset with twrp - > successfully booted but doesn't get past the setup screen. Fix : flashed a gsi treble image(based on android 10) - > working perfect except for camera and volte.

My bad , I thought the update website to be huawei's official one(something like update.hicloud and all isn't it?). Well, thanks for the information but I still prefer gsi. It's buttery smooth .
And one more thing, if you follow the youtube video I mentioned, you don't need any gsi. You can get your device back on stock EMUI 5.

My bootloader is still unlocked, yes. However, I did not try to flash another recovery image, as I was not sure where I could find one that worked. I forgot which image I used at first but it had worked the first time, so that was why I did not bother finding a different recovery. Do you have a suggestion for a recovery to install?

I'm attaching one that works with emui 8 try using it (Remember you have to flash it to recovery_ramdisk).
Well after reading your post 1 again, I think there's no such partition as recovery_ramdisk(because it will be there only from android 8). So find a recovery in google which works on hi6250 devices with emui 4. That should work. Update me with the result

So I have tried many different recoveries, such as ones for EMUI 4 and 5 and flashing directly to recovery, which gave me an error "image verification failed", and flashing an EMUI 8 to ramdisk would give me the same error as before. I think the partitions on this device is really messed up lol. Also, when I type fastboot reboot recovery, it would just get stuck at the loading screen, so does that mean there is no working recovery installed?

Well as you said, you partitions must have been really messed up. I have no other ideas except the test point method.
Are you trying anything else?
Ok we have some option that could help you...
Im read in the 4PDA (the russian XDA xD) forum that it should be possible to flash the oeminfo by fastboot command. So just download the HWOTA_BLN_Eng and expand it. Then go to 7 or 8 Folder and there you go to oeminfo folder. There you choose the right one for your Device and local area...for example BLN-L21 (Device) C432 (European Area)
Extract the file to your desktop and rename it to BLN-L21C432.img
--->be sure that you have the right Device driver installed and the right ADB driver for your device to<---
ok now Copy and Paste the BLN-L21C432.img to ADB folder and start command with admin rights
start the phone into fastboot mode
--->bootloader must be unlocked<---
in the command
fastboot flash oeminfo BLN-L21C432.img
wait for the result and it can not hurt to pray a bit in this moment...hihi
if this have success...you type in command
fastboot reboot
wait to the screen you can press 3 seconds Vol+ to go into erecovery....connect to wlan and it should work step by step like it should.
after download and recover the stock rom reboot and go again to erecover by press Vol+ for 3 seconds and now go to the second option...wipe data/factory reset and write yes+enter
in stock recovery wipe Data after that wipe Cache...reboot and wait that system boot the initial boot for first setup.
If this will not working...tell me what honor 6x you have and wich local area you are from and wich firmware you stock had before you doing wronng
good luck bro
