phone reset - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

how can I reset my phone so it boots. Do I need to fastboot flash oxygenOS or can I just install the zip file through TWRP?
Would fastboot flashing 9.5.13-GM21AA-OnePlus7ProOxygen_21.O.16_OTA_016_all_1908281716_b2bb5-FASTBOOT.zip work?

Hard to say, without knowing how your phone got into this (no boot) state. What other things you tried, etc.
Fastboot flashing the (stock fastboot) ROM may work. As you figured, it will restore stock ROM and wipe the device. Can't be installed with TWRP, as far as I know.
If you have (or find the right) full OTA zip, you should be able to flash that with TWRP.

Restore Android Stock's Recovery Mode

Hello! I've tried to root my phone (Moto G XT1541 Europe 1GB) but failed. I got an error when trying to flash the custom recovery. Unfortunately, it has overwritten the stock recovery and it didn't install. So, now I have a phone without recovery and I can't do a factory reset because of that (I think).
So, this is my question: how can I re install the default Android 6.0 recovery mode for my phone?
Also, my phone boots automatically on bootloader mode and I can't re-lock the bootloader because I can't flash anymore either; I got an error because the pre flash validation failed when trying to flash with adb fastboot, but this is minimal issues that doesn't really bother me, but they could be helpful and if someone knows how to get rid of them, I want to know!
I hope someone will help me!

The bootloader cannot be relocked in the Moto G 2015, the best you can do is hide the warning screen. Find the stock image and fastboot flash the recovery from there, or better yet, flash the entire image so you are in a known working state
If you are in Pre-Flash validation, you do not have the correct image for your device... I suggest you post in the "How to flash factory images" thread about returning to stock, if it is possible. You MUST factory default before flashing factory images, if you can't, try 'fastboot erase userdata' and try again.
Flash latest twrp via fastboot and reboot into recovery ,
don't reboot into system,
reboot into recovery manually, then you can enter twrp recovery and can flash supersu 2.62.3.
when you just reboot after flash twrp and reboot system erase custom recovery and save stock recovery, so don't enter fastboot reboot, enter fastboot reboot recovery after flash recovery via pc.
Rename twrp recovery as only twrp in fastboot folder in your pc , not as twrp.img,
But cmd as fastboot flash recovery twrp.img , then no errors ( are you unlocked bootloader ?)

Hey! Thank you! I've been able to flash the TWRP recovery and now I can do a factory reset (and also send sms, which I couldn't do anymore for some reason).
I still have the issue where the bootloader screen appears everytime I turn my phone on, and I still can't re lock my device because I can't flash anything either. I've recovered all of my data, so I think I'm going to stick with that for a moment but maybe I'll try what you said some day.
Again, really thank you for helping me!

Now I understand why my flashing TWRP did not take. I simply rebooted to system and still have stock recovery installed. I was successful booting twrp via fastboot and successfully flashed supersu 2.62.3. Is this step in listed in any faq? I must have missed it.
So after flashing TWRP, do you then power down device prior to manually booting to recovery?

Don't power down, already you are in fastboot mode, you can just enter recovery from that. I forget the reference, but i will search and post.
---------- Post added at 04:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------
I get this from twrp official page
Note many devices will replace your custom recovery automatically during first boot. To prevent this, use Google to find the proper key combo to enter recovery. After typing fastboot reboot, hold the key combo and boot to TWRP. Once TWRP is booted, TWRP will patch the stock ROM to prevent the stock ROM from replacing TWRP. If you don't follow this step, you will have to repeat the install.
In our phone press simultaneously volume down + power button to enter recovery.

Verizon pixel rooted on 7.1 looking to upgrade to 7.1.1

What's up all. So I have a Verizon pixel rooted on 7.1. I want to sideload 7.1.1 but don't want lose the ability to re root etc. Just wanna make sure I have he steps down.
-flash back to stock boot image
-sideload 7.1.1 ota
-flash twrp
-flash root
Am I missing anything??
You could also flash back to stock boot image, boot up and take the OTA actually over the air.
Also, don't flash TWRP initially, just boot TWRP, flash twrp from inside twrp, reboot into recovery, then finally flash root (make sure to read the twrp rc1 thread, post #2) reboot to let root finish, and done. (unless you want a custom Kernel, then do this very last.
After doing a twrp backup and backing up the entire device, I used this method to update with twrp and root installed. I did not lose data.
Afterwards you will need to install TWRP and root.

This sounds like the easiest way. Where do i get the stock boot image from? Do i extract it from the factory image zip file? And then once I get it what is the command I'd use to flash it?
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862669140 is nde63p's boot.img. If you are on something else, you can extract it's boot.img from the factory image, there's a boot file in there. Fastboot boot <img file name> will boot it, then you can take the ota, reboot because the ota needs to finish. copy twrp.zip on to sd card, (were going to need it in a minute!) then fastboot boot twrp3020rc1.img the same way. From twrp, flash the zip. tell twrp to reboot into recovery. it will reboot into twrp, from the recovery (Or dont flash the zip, you dont have to, some prefer to remain on stock recovery) and then flash SU SR5 (How to install SuperSU SR5 on TWRP RC1: Before flashing the zip, in TWRP tap on Advanced -> File Manager and scroll to and select the fstab.marlin or fstab.sailfish file and then delete it. ) then finally flash a kernel. If you are going to flash root, might as well flash ElementalX 1.01 kernel from twrp. Hope that is a bit more breakdown.

I extracted the boot.img and put in in my fastboot folder, but when I go to flash it it's saying file not found?? I named it boot.img and am typing fastboot flash boot boot.img. I've also tried fastboot boot boot.img and get the same message.
What am i doing wrong? Could I have the wrong boot image??

Unable to flash anything other than oos

I know, there've been plenty of "please help, I can't flash xx" threads. If there's a duplicate out there, please point me towards it.
I've been trying to get havoc or omni on my phone recently for fun but have had no luck. I've tried multiple different ways, maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong or if there is actually something wrong with my device.
Method 1:
-Use the Oneplus Recovery tool to get a fresh start
-allow OOS to update itself to 9.0.3
-unlock bootloader
-boot twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.91_op6
-flash havoc (for example), flash twrp right after
-reboot to recovery (using button in twrp)
->this results in the phone restarting, shows bootloader unlocked screen, and then goes to black screen/white LED
Method 2:
-bootloader unlocked
-extract 9.0.3 full rom, use flash-all.bat
-fastboot set_active other
-flash-all.bat again (to get the other slot)
-boot twrp-3.2.3-x_blu_spark_v9.91_op6
-flash havoc (for example), flash twrp right after
-reboot to recovery (using button in twrp)
->this results in the phone restarting, shows bootloader unlocked screen, and then goes to black screen/white LED
After this black screen/white led issue, I can get into fastboot but I can't boot the twrp image.
I'm at wits end... I really have no clue what to do. Any ideas? I'm open to try any suggestions.
I should note, when I get 9.0.3 on there, either from method 1 or 2 it's possible to boot and use it.
Try these steps:
(Make sure You have unlocked BL)
Fastboot boot twrp_blue_spark.img
Now go to wipe and choose format data, type yes.
Copy this: OxygenOS 9.0.3 OTA.zip
To Your internal storage.
Now flash it.
Now go to reboot in TWRP and choose reboot bootloader.
Now fastboot boot twrp.img again.
Flash OxygenOS OTA zip again.
Now go to reboot in TWRP, choose reboot bootloader.
Fastboot boot twrp.img again.
Copy latest Havoc OS 2.1 to Your internal storage.
Flash it.
Reboot without flashing anything else.
Should work now:fingers-crossed:
Like 99% you didn't read the "how to" oos needs to be flashed on both slot a and B from twrp rather than fastboot

Unable to flash TWRP. Lost Recovery, OS and only have unlocked bootloader.

Hi,
I was on Oxygen OS 10.0.0. Rooted with twrp-3.3.1-4-enchilada and magisk 20.1. (I had used this guide to do it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213) Today I downloaded the zip for 10.0.1 from the Oxygen Updater app and tried to flash it like I have done for OOS 9 in the past as usual. I went to recovery (I did not backup), I just wiped my data (not internal storage), cache and system. After that I tried to install the new zip but I got an error. It just said error unable to install. Didn't mention why. I tried flashing the older OOS 10 zip and got the same error.
So I thought I will try flashing on the other slot. I was on slot B. I switched to slot A and got the same error.
So I thought I will try to sideload. When I tried that I got the same error. So I thought I will try to reflash the twrp img itself. I went to fastboot mode and tried runnning this command
fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-14-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img
It showed me this error
Sending 'boot.img' (65536 KB) OKAY [ 1.609s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
Now I don't have any recovery at all. I have just the unlocked bootloader and no OS nor recovery. What can I do to flash TWRP again and install either OOS 10.0.1 zip or 10.0.0 zip? Any help will be great.
Thanks

So basically what happened there is TWRP doesn't boot with the oxygenos 10 bootloader. You will need to use the MSM download tool to unbrick your device.

But how is that? I was on stable OOS 10 before rooting following this link https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213. As per this, the first step is to flash twrp and that image did flash back when I did it. Any idea why it doesn't work now?
Also, do you have any links for the MSM download tool and any guide if there is?

This doesn't work. It flashes successfully but when I select Reboot Recovery and press the power button, it boots back to the bootloader.
Maybe wrong twrp img
Try the older 3.3.1-12 twrp.img and then try
Also try the following as well
Fastboot flash boot_a twrp.img
Fastboot flash boot_b twrp.img
And try just reboot not reboot to recovery

Thanks so much for that! I have been able to recover the phone using MSM download tool. Now will update to 10 using the phones OTA.
However, I have one question, if I update to OOS 10.0.1, do you think this original post on rooting OOS 10, will work for it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/how-to-flash-twrp-magisk-android-10-t3988213 Or do you suggest to not root and wait?

Put the TWRP zip and stock boot img on phone (a TWRP img is not a TWRP zip)
Remove Magisk modules first to avoid issues (in TWRP if you cannot boot to system. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72542167&postcount=242)
Update through local update to 10.3.2 is what I prefer to do. Then I do the following.
Reboot to let phone finish whatever. reboot into bootloader.
1. Fastboot TWRP img - fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img - ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma...3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img/download )
2. Use volume up to recovery and power button to boot to recovery
3. Flash 10.3.2 stock boot img while in TWRP (or current ROM stock boot img).
4. Flash TWRP zip while in TWRP (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma...-enchilada-installer-mauronofrio.zip/download ) or Blu zip (https://github.com/engstk/android_device_oneplus_enchilada/releases)
5. Reboot to recovery
6. Flash Magisk 20.3 while in TWRP
(Flash a Q kernel if you want one other than stock)
7. Reboot system
You are now rooted

I had similar situation last evening.
I made the mistake of having a factory reset on rooted 9.0.8 and then trying to flash the 10.0.1
I got the same error, so I had to connect my mobile to my laptop, fastboot to the newest TWRP, flash the TWRP, flash the 9.0.9, flash the 10.0.1, flash magisk 20.x and then everything was working.

This worked for me.. Finally. PS - I did in a slightly different order. I installed twrp first, booted into twrp, made sure I was in slot A. If I wasnt, I rebooted to recovery. If I still wasnt I set slot to A manually then rebooted to recovery again. Flashed the stock boot img you linked to boot, then rebooted to recovery slot b (same process I did to get to slot a) then flashed the stock boot img to boot again THEN finally installed magisk. Booted to system, where it hanged a bit, rebooted before getting into android, but booted in just fine after that..
For some reason if you don't flash stock img to slot A (and maybe slot B too, I did this for good measure) before installing magisk everything dies a horrible death and breaks, which can't even be recovered from /boot /system backups..
EDIT: Tried to reboot into recovery, which reverted back to stock for some reason after doing the above steps. So I proceeded to install the bluspark recovery, rebooted into recovery, made sure I was in slot b, made a back up of the boot image, then flashed bluspark kernel. Got stuck at the unlocked bootloader screen. Rebooted into recovery, restored my /boot back. Still stuck when I try to boot into system. Fixed it by booting back into recovery in slot A flashing stock boot img, then into slot b stock boot, then magisk, but also installed bluspark kernel here because I had a feeling I would lose twrp from flashing to stock boot img, and that the issue was caused by twrp (both twrp-3.3.1-16-enchilada-installer-mauronofrio and twrp-3.3.1-x_blu_spark_v9.108_op6 have this issue). Guess what? Turns out I was right. Having twrp breaks everything after you install magisk, so you need to flash the stock boot img before flashing magisk for some reason.. and cant install twrp again unless you dont mind bricking your phone.
EDIT2: F2FS works, just boot into recovery via fastboot (this should be slot b), change /data to f2fs, boot back into fastboot then into recovery again by fastboot (slot b again), flash stock boot img > magisk > bluspark kernel > f2fs_fstab.zip > f2fs_optimize.zip > factory reset/wipe (from twrp before rebooting), done just reboot into system. You of course lose twrp because magisk doesnt like twrp on oos 10.x for some reason, and will need to set everything up again to cause of the wipe. If you dont factory reset/wipe from twrp before booting into system your system will crash and reboot every time you boot into android, then have to do all the steps I listed again.
EDIT3: Never mind, I was wrong, f2fs makes almost all your apps and storage unusable. Not sure if it's cause of the rom (OOS10.3.0) or because we have to flash stock boot.img and get rid of twrp before booting into system. Either way, f2fs has never really been stable or fun to get working so better to stick to ext4.. that few percent performance boost isnt worth it.
EDIT4: This is my last update. After experimenting with different things, bricking my phone, restoring it via fastboot rom, many many times, I've verified the simplest and cleanest way to install magisk.. Do note you wont be able to keep twrp.
Method A - If you already have twrp
Boot recovery into slot a, flash your rom's stock boot.img, then boot into your recovery in slot b (dont boot into slot a recovery because slot a wont have twrp anymore), flash your rom's stock boot.img, magisk and (optional) your kernel of choice (or not) in that order, then you can boot boot into system. That's it.
Method B - If you don't have twrp
Boot into fastboot, and from your cmd/terminal run fastboot flash boot yourtwrp.img (I suggest Mauronofrio's twrp-3.3.1-16-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img or newer). Use your volume buttons to select boot into recovery. Make sure your active slot is B, (if it isnt, install twrp (bluspark and Mauronofrio's twrp both work great) by zip, then follow the steps above in method A). Once you've verified you're in slot B flash your rom's stock boot.img, magisk and (optional) your kernel of choice (or not) in that order, then you can boot into system. That's it.
Maybe @mauronofrio or @eng.stk can verify why magisk or twrp bricks the system when you install them together on OOS 10.

@mauronofrio wrote the following in his TWRP thread a while ago:
So little update, after some tests i'm sure there is a compatibility problem between twrp and magisk, i was able to get only one of them, so actually i don't know how to proceed, i need to understand if it is a twrp problem or a magisk problem, TWRP is in stand-by for now.
There are not problems on Android Pie, if you need of the twrp on android Q just flash in boot partition the Q .img (fastboot flash boot twrp.img) and then reboot from fastboot in recovery. Before publishing the twrp I had not tested magisk and twrp together.
On Android 10 use only magisk 19.4

Put the TWRP zip and stock boot img on phone (a TWRP img is not a TWRP zip)
Remove Magisk modules first to avoid issues (in TWRP if you cannot boot to system. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72542167&postcount=242)
Update through local update to 10.3.2 is what I prefer to do. Then I do the following.
Reboot to let phone finish whatever. reboot into bootloader.
1. Fastboot TWRP img - fastboot flash boot twrp-3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img - ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma...3.3.1-18-enchilada-Q-mauronofrio.img/download )
2. Use volume up to recovery and power button to boot to recovery
3. Flash 10.3.2 stock boot img while in TWRP (or current ROM stock boot img).
4. Flash TWRP zip while in TWRP (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma...-enchilada-installer-mauronofrio.zip/download ) or Blu zip (https://github.com/engstk/android_device_oneplus_enchilada/releases)
5. Reboot to recovery
6. Flash Magisk 20.3 while in TWRP
(Flash a Q kernel if you want one other than stock)
7. Reboot system
You are now rooted

Basically worked for me, too, with 2 exceptions:
- this tool to remove magisk modules etc. wouldn't be flashed, always ended in an unnamed error; probably the cause for some other problems?
- flashing boot.img (V 10.3.4 from this thread) didn't work for me, I always ended up in twrp's splash screen
- got it solved by dirty flashing the full V 10.3.4 ROM (again from the above thread)
Many thanks once again!

How To Guide Xiaomi 12S Ultra TWRP(unofficial)

12S Ultra unofficial TWRP - link MEGA
Credit - UnofficialTWRP
They released TWRP under 12S Pro, but the code name is Thor which stands for 12S Ultra, and after flashing, I do confirm this is for 12S Ultra.
now they have a proper 12S Ultra section!
Download the image and rename as recovery.img for simplicity.
fastboot boot recovery.img (or full file name)
in TWRP, go to "Advanced" and "flash this twrp."
edit: the recovery image file is too large to be flashed directly via fastboot, so you need to boot first then flash using twrp!
edit2: backup and restore function may not be working properly on this version of twrp! I get boot loops everytime I do a full system backup and full restore after bricking the device, especially on the data partition. Clean installing rom then restoring data only still get boot loops. so use it with caution.
I suggest you to use 3rd party backup apps to do backups on apps and data, and stick to the flashing and other functions only for twrp.

Awesome thanks. But why not Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img?
No. You must type fastboot flash boot recovey. img

No I'm pretty sure it's:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
However my question was why the method outlined by @Nabicook vs this method. Is it because of the dual partition?

Because not only it is the method unofficialtwrp suggested, but also the size of the recovery img file is too large to be flashed via fastboot.
I already tried
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery_a recovery.img
and so on, but all failed.
only way to properly install this version of twrp is to boot first then let twrp to install itself to both a/b partitions.
Hi!
I'm following your guide...and after uploading recovery nothing happens
rebooting into recovery through ADB or just using buttons...still sends me into fastboot mode
What can I do?

are you sure you did
fastboot boot (your recovery file name).img
it should automatically boot into twrp without touching anything from fastboot mode.
then install twrp through the advanced option in twrp

Still having issues:
After flashing twrp + magisk, reboot sends me into fastboot mode ..
As I get it, previously I've messed up with boot image, flashing recovery into that partition
So question is:
Do I need to reflash stock boot.img (need help with getting it, stock recovery rom is packed into .bin and I'm unable to extract boot image
Or can I simply reflash stock ROM (in recovery or fastboot mode?)
*my phone is unlocked already

yeah you can try flashing stock boot img, and if that doesnt work, you can download fastboot rom and flash stock rom using flash all without wiping data(there is .bat file that says something like install without formatting).
That will fix any kind of brick issues of xiaomi device, and you just redo the twrp part.
