My relatives have gotten this watch gifted to them a while back but it was in chinese so to get it to English I had to unlock bootloader and flash the room. But while doing so I by mistake flashed twrp instead of booting into it on the Recovery Partition right after unlocking bootloader and after rebooting, it was stuck in a horrible bootloop. Why is it horrible?
So the problem is, it keeps booting into twrp, fails to mount data cache and everything, shuts down and reboots again, shows a warning that it can't detect an operating system and continues to boot into the same twrp recovery and so on. When I try to boot into bootloader, it says to go to g.co/ABH and read instructions to proceed, but after holding down the button to continue to boot, it goes back to the same bootloop.
I cannot boot it into bootloader or get it into fastboot, I can't do anything in twrp and I can't boot into os (cause of course, there is none). Does anyone know how I can fix this? I've been struggling for 4 hours with this today. I'm really scared that I've completely bricked it and can't restore it .
I can see it in adb devices while it's in twrp and twrp is freaking out then shutting down, but I can't even side load a rom to even install something I can boot into.
Link me a thread if there is one where this problem gets fixed or help me please. Thank you!

Now I wanted to try it again and i wont even boot.
Anyone has an Idea? Or is it really bricked?
Can you still see the device listed using fast boot?
No, because I can't enter the bootloader or the recovery. But it boots again

The same thing just happened to me. Unfortunately, I am still trying to figure it out. I flashed a "stock" recovery that I had found in order to be able to take the OTAs. Now when I boot, I just stay stuck on the NVIDIA splash screen.....been there for hours.

Same here.....
Mine is working again. Booting in the bootloader is a little bit tricky.
Have you tried to flash all? Boot.img, recovery.img and system.img?
...
I had the same issue. But after trying to get into the bootloader using POWER + VOLUME DOWN for about 15 minutes it finally went to the bootloader and I was able to re-flash it. I have a feeling it's the cludgy power button.
You do not need to flash the stock recovery to take the ota. I have taken 2 otas now on custom recovery without any issue and without loosing root. Just an FYI.

I just did a factory reset under lollipop, locked boot-loader rooted and it rebooted to the green android screen then dropped into CWM and asked to fix root. I said no, then it went to the nvidia boot logo and it is stuck. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Edit: nevermind, I just powered it off after about 20 minuets and it hung again. When I plugged it into my pc, it finally poped into the setup/welcome screen. Pretty weird. Heart attack averted
I have been having this issue with flashing recovery on my Nex5 ever since I installed lollipop(factory image).
I have repeatedly tried to install TWRP (2.8.2.0) on my device but it just doesn't seem to stick no matter what I try.
Each time it gets installed but as soon the the system reboots, its gone. If I directly boot into the recovery from fastboot or bootup recoveryafter flash without restarting the bootloader, the TWRP logo shows up and then the device just restarts.
Please help me out here. Really want to go back to PA4
Thanks
You probably updated to LRX21O through OTA.
Go back to 4.4.4 through factory image. Boot system once. Reboot to bootloader. Flash twrp. Using vol keys, boot to recovery directly from bootloader. Flash PA.

I tried booting into recovery today, and my R7 Plus just boots normally. It gives the vibrate indication, and then the OPPO logo flashes on for a split second... but then it gives up booting into recovery, the screen goes black again, and the phone boots normally.
If I hold down volume [-] and power, it keeps flashing the Oppo logo and then black screening every second until I let go of the buttons. It seems to me like it keeps trying to boot into recovery and then something goes wrong. After I let go of the buttons, it boots normally.
Booting to recovery through Flashify didn't work; it gave the same Oppo logo-flash before turning back and booting normally.
For some more background, after rooting my phone, I did some deleting of .com files and other Oppo-associated apps/files; I'm not a fan of ColorOS and any Oppo bloatware, so I probably deleted some pretty important stuff. Actually, I'm pretty sure I deleted something important along the way.
I would like to do a clean install to get all of the key firmware modules/files back, I can't do that without access to recovery. I tried unrooting and installing an official update, but that failed since I can't access recovery. What's more, I can't re-root because, again, recovery isn't available; Oppo Tools isn't working.
If I do a factory reset, does that restore all of the ColorOS data, including restoring deleted OS files, or does it just delete my user data and I still won't be able to boot into recovery? Is there a way to flash a stock ROM without recovery mode being available?

Hi there, i know its been a long time. But i wanna know, have you solved your problem? If yes, could you please share how to fix it. Because im in the same situation right now.
Thank you.
Hi guys,
I need a bit of help in regards to my oneplus 7 pro 5g edition (GM1920) I previously attempted to root the phone as always and have accidentally wiped the system via twrp, i am now currently stuck in fastboot mode and it appears that the phone has now wiped the factory recovery as every time i attempt to go into it via the fastboot screen or reflash twrp, it shows the 1+ logo for a split second and reboots to fastboot, usually with previous devices reflashing twrp would have been enough but it seems that there is nothing i can do at the moment, any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you
SOLVED: Turns out it was rather simple, the phone wasn't flashing to the correct partition and wouldn't let me change, but randomly after a few tries it finally let me change to the correct partition and everything now works like a charm again.

So if you are flashing TWRP through fastboot, it does the same and reboots to fastboot? Are you able to flash twrp successfully? If yes try power+volume down to go into twrp. Then change the slot
in fastboot use your vol buttons and scroll to RECOVERY and click power button after you flash TWRP
Hi guys,
Thank you for the suggestions but i manged to finally figure it out after hours of racking my brain, turns out it was a very simple solution, for some reason the phone was trying to flash to the wrong partition and wouldn't let me change partition, then randomly out of nowhere it did, so i was finally able to reinstall the stock rom and twrp and am now fully rooted with no issued at all.
Thanks again.
Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone might be able to provide some assistance to help me solve my problem here. Basically I was attempting to flash havoc os to my oneplus 7 pro and I think I wiped both the a/b partitions by accident as now it’s stuck in boot loop.
basically it will constantly boot loop where it goes to the unlocked boot loader warning and then reboots. If I attempt to boot to recovery, it will flash with the twrp screen for 1-2 seconds and then reboot. Will boot to fast boot mode but cannot enable usb debugging.. any help would be greatly appreciated, and If anyone needs me to clarify anything I will do my best but its been a week or two since it happened and I can’t seem to find a working solution anywhere. Thank you.
I know this is an older post, but as a thought, when you go to the fastboot menu, if you wait, does it reboot there too?
If so, I think this may be your power button acting up. I had that problem with my phone. I could boot to fastboot or recovery, but couldn't stay in them long enough to do anything. First time it happened, I took the phone apart and disconnected the power button and I was able to get it to boot up successfully. Next time it happened, I just hit the power button multiple times until it started booting up properly.
If this is not the case for you, I would try to fastboot boot the latest version of TWRP rather than from the recovery process (holding down buttons and hoping it boots). I've read that on some devices (with older versions of TWRP), it was recommended to fastboot TWRP rather than flash for better compatibility.
