The stock recovery comes up instead of flashed twrp

Hello,
When I try to reboot to recovery the stock recovery comes up instead of twrp.
I have flashed multiple versions (through adb) of compatible twrp recoveries, but the issue was the same with all of them.
I am on android oreo with the latest update.
I just want to access twrp.
Did anyone experienced the same, or does anyone know hot solve this problem?

How are you booting to TWRP?
Which command are you using to flash TWRP?
Unplug usb + power + vol up, release pwr when phone vibrates/huawei logo is seen.
Or use 'adb reboot recovery'

Hi
I have the same problem... Let me just round up the facts:
I have a Huawei Mate 9 Pro
The phone is unlocked, when i boot in to bootloader (adb reboot bootloader) it says PHONE Unlocked + FRP Unlock
When I flash twrp I get:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp-3.1.1-0-hi3660.img
Sending 'recovery_ramdisk' (27944 KB) OKAY [ 0.658s]
Writing 'recovery_ramdisk' OKAY [ 0.268s]
Finished. Total time: 0.943s
When I afterwards try to boot into recovery (adb reboot recovery)
Error
Please update your system
Error
Func NO 11 (Recovery image)
Func NO 2 (Load failed)
I currently have build no LON-L29 8.0.0.323(C432LOG)
All I want to do is flash a newer image, can I do it with adb/fastboot directly?

i am using this recovery for my Mate 9 (L29) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/p10-plus/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-oreo-t3734993. Works fine. I suggest when you flash it via fastboot, please don't use command to reboot phone. Instead, just unplug phone and manually shut it off. Then, hold vol up + power buttons, it should load TWRP. I experienced that the reboot command loads eRecovery than TWRP.

Only reason it would do this is because you're flashing an image meant for Nougat.
Try this one: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3783353

And when you say image, you mean the twrp image, right? Which one of the four download links should I use? the one for mate 10 pro?
Thanks for your help

Soft Bricked my Phone(Stuck in bootloop, fastboot flash fails)

Hi,
I recently flashed a custom ROM(Lineage OS 15.1) using this tutorial. Didn't like it so decided to switch back to stock. Trouble is I didn't have Stock ROM. Found one here and flashed it. It worked, sorta. My IMEI numbers were cleared. I have them on my box but no .bak file. Read somewhere that some apps can write IMEI but needed root and Xposed Framework.
Rooted my device using this tutorial and tried to install Xposed using this tutorial.
However,this caused my phone to get stuck in a bootloop.
Tried reset from stock recovery. Even though it says reset success, still stuck in bootloop. Also cleared Cache.
Tried flashing stock ROM and Lineage OS using fastboot flash system ***.img,

Yes, it boots into erecovery. I don't have twrp, and can't seem to flash one because if command not allowed error.

My OnePlus 7 Pro is bricked.

My OnePlus 7 Pro keep booting into fastboot mode. Neither I can access recovery nor can start the phone. It's always comes back to recovery.
Please help me getting it done.
Bootloader is unlocked.

You haven't given enough info, tell us step by step how your "Bootloader is unlocked".
We would need to know if you did it properly, you probably need to go into the recovery and perform a "Full wipe". Unlocking the bootloader usually does that anyway.
The normal method is:
Enabled developer settings by pressing the version number in the about section 7 times and entering your pin
Copy the adb developer folder from the mounted OnePlus driver partition you usually get on your computer when attaching the phone, into a folder on your hard drive, and enable adb in developer settings.
In developer settings enable "OEM unlocking"
Reboot into fastboot mode
Open a command window (with admin privileges) in the folder you copied to your hard drive (In Windows, hold down shift and right click inside the folder, then click "Open Command Window..."
Run the command "fastboot oem unlock"
Accept the prompt shown on the phone
This will wipe the phone back to factory reset so ensure you have backed up your data, although you should be doing that before you even start.
Flash the appropriate TWRP recovery partition (which afaik isn't even available yet so I'm not sure why you would unlock the bootloader so soon to be honest
If you didn't perform those steps or performed them in the wrong order then you've done it wrong.
Performing a factory reset in the recovery partition may get it booting again but it's hard to know with the minimal information you've provided.
Although again, why are you unlocking the bootloader when there hasn't been a TWRP version released yet? You won't be able to flash anything, not even Magisk.

I've unlocked bootloader by command of OEM unlocking.
After than the unlock, I rebooted it's again And installed some Magisk file, which made it stuck at fastboot.
I can't access the Recovery nor can restart Phone.
All I can do is switched it off And get back into fastboot again after.

Yeah, you can't flash things with the default recovery (That's just made for flashing the default builds), that's most likely why. Magisk was made to be flashed with TWRP.
Did you use the test TWRP here? If so, then go to that thread for help.
If you can get into the OnePlus recovery you could maybe grab a build from here and flash the default rom back, then start again using the guide I showed you but, tbh, I would wait until a good TWRP build is established and Magisk is confirmed to be working.
That thread also looks like it has the default recovery image too so you can flash that back on the phone with :
fastboot flash recovery filename (Just put the recovery image into the same folder as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe
Then see if you can reboot into it and flash the stock rom back on from the same thread.

How can I get things done back, all I've is fastboot.
It's a New set, please help (

If you have fastboot, I've just told you how to get the default recovery back in above.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------
Reading that thread again, flashing recovery is not as simple as it used to be due to the A/B partition model used now, so you'll need to read the instructions shown for recovery. My guess is that you didn't read them properly and flashed the recovery to the wrong partition. If you have flashed that TWRP then you need to seek support in that thread.

It's not gonna work with me,
Even if I'll download the zip file it's only flashable with a Twrp or Stock recovery. As stock recovery is not working.
Even if I'll try to flash a Twrp recovery it's showing up an error to me :

This will sound stupid, but I had similar issues with the pixel and it was due to drivers and the port. Tried from a different machine and worked. Do you have the luxury to do so ?

Man, I've flashed like tons of Custom ROMs and Twrp from the same machine everytime.
I used to be a Xioami Redmi Note 5 pro user, And I've flashed almost every ROMs And root and everything, and same with my Redmi Note 3.
I don't think the machine have some fault some how.
It was Just like I had unlocked the bootloader And just after I flashed some Magisk ISO file which got flashed completely, And then all I'm stucked with the Fastboot, everything Stopped working, And everytime I'm dragged info fastboot.
And also as I said, can't flash Twrp.

Why are you trying to flash recovery partitions when they don't exist on this device? Recovery is on the boot partition.

Since you are familiar with custom rom,unlocked bootloader etc you should had known already that you must NOT flash any kind Magisk staff without having proper and functional twrp.
Even if it flashed successful that doesn't mean will work after reboot and normal restart.
That why you've brick your device.
And on the other hand with A/B partition things has changed dramatically evolving all custom made staff and how they works.
Oneplus device not work the same way as Xiaomi you've described.

Any post that describe exactly what changed? I havent flashed custom roms/kernels in close to two years due to OOS being satisfying enough. What I have done is fastboot into twrp and flash magisk(I believe). Will I still be able to do that with OP7 Pro?

That was a stupidity, all I forgot was the command.
Now I used the same command and then used oxygen os fastboot flashable all bat file, as suggested by a member.
And here's my phone back. )

[SOLVED]Oneplus 7 stuck in fastbootmode after trying to restore a backup from TWRP

My bootloader is unlocked, I was rooted with Magisk and i had twrp recovery installed as well. A few modules were installed and i had made a backup about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday i tried restoring the backup in twrp and it seemed to restore properly without errors . When i pressed reboot in the end the phone went to the fastboot mode screen and has since been there. All i can do is turn it off and regardless of what i pick, (START, Restart Bootloader, Recovery mode) it just starts into fastboot mode. Confused as to what i should do now and why this happened in the first place. All the threads i found were only for the 7 pro so i didnt want to risk anything by following those. Please advice on what i should do.
Edit : The problem was solved by flashing the STOCK ROM for android 9 which is what i was on when the device was softbricked.

hi
Hi, download adb fastboot and twrp recovery image for guacamoleb. then open a new command prompt (CMD) in the same location and run the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (file name of twrp that you download).img
after that by holding volume up + power reboot to twrp recovery that you just installed via adb fastboot command.
when you enter on twrp recovery, install twrp recovery zip, and magisk 19.3 zip (download and copy on phone storage first, after you enter on twrp when reboot, you can connect your phone with computer or USB that contain twrp recovery zip and magisk or copy to phone storage) after this step install twrp zip first than magisk and then reboot.
i hope i helped.

Something similar happened to me, I was on OOS 10 stable and wiping the system and data from TWRP got in fastboot mode without being possible to do anything else. The way that I solved was flashing from fastboot the OOS 10 stable posted rom here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7/how-to/rom-stock-fastboot-roms-oneplus-7-t3937478 This will erase all your data but you will unbrick your phone.
One important thing, if you are on android 10 you can't flash TWRP via fasboot, maybe that's the problem you are having right now.
Hope this helps

bricked Redmi Note 7 Pro - please help

Hi All,
I need some help please with (soft?) bricked Note 7 pro. I have the global version and installed e. foundation ROM which is a fork of LineageOS. This was working well until I loaded the latest version last week. Now the phone seems to be softbricked.
I can get into fastboot. I have downloaded TWRP violet and when I run "fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.0-0-violet.img" I get:
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (65536 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.723s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 0.370s]
finished. total time: 2.093s
However when I try to boot into that recovery it wont work. (I just see the "Redmi by Xiaomi" screen with the "unlocked" detail at the bottom.
I also tried to run "fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-violet.img" but that leads to a "system has been destroyed" message.
I downloaded the Mi unlock tool and tried to unlock again, just in case, but that tool reported that the phone is unlocked already.
I should point out that I get the same result with twrp-3.3.1-0-violet.img
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try next? I am reluctant to remove the back from the phone.
Thanks
