Can you boot into the recovery? Or fastboot? Also before trying to install a new ROM did you backup your previous?

Can't boot into recovery mode, maybe something went wrong while updating TWRP to 3.0.2 but can boot into fastboot.
also had backup of previous rom but since i can't boot into TWRP now so can't restore it. Earlier on TWRP 2.8.6 i was getting zip file execution error while restoring/installing new ROM.
So for now i have only access to fastboot mode, how to proceed futher?

You have 2 options you can flash the stock rom and recovery via fastboot here is a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 (Just skip step 4 don't relock the bootloader specially if you want to install TWRP) Make sure you download the correct file there is a 64gb and a 16gb listed in this guide or you can download the stock file straight from cynogen OS here https://cyngn.com/support
Or you can reinstall TWRP via fastboot by downloading TWRP here https://dl.twrp.me/bacon/ and install your backup if its still there. If its not there you can either download and install any custom rom you want or if you want the stock rom go with option 1 above and then re-install twrp. (Always remeber after installing TWRP don't fully boot into the system or you will loose TWRP, boot straight to recovery once its done flashing TWRP by holding the power button and volume down. )

Installed twrp phone reboots to twrp

I installed twrp on my pixel on 7.1.1 it reboots to tarp again I got it to boot to the p.s. by clicking reboot / a on bottom left option but get error codes and can't open a lot of apps. I tried to install a tom and clear device cache and cause fails. Anyone know how I can fix this. I thought I used all the latest files

Did you fastboot boot into TWRP, then flash twrp-pixel-installer-sailfish-3.0.2-0-RC1.zip? Were you stock prior?

Installed img through pc then installed the zip file with twrp. I found a article here stating I need to flash stock ing to get back to normal

Yes, you are not supposed to install twrp, just boot into it. If you install it by mistake, you go back, flash stock boot.img, and do it again.
This is from Dees_Troy's post located here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel/development/twrp-alpha1-pixel-devices-t3500314
Installation:
If you already have TWRP installed: Download the latest zip and install the zip using TWRP.
If you do not already have TWRP installed: Download both the img and the zip. Copy the zip to your device. You will need to have fastboot binaries and the correct drivers installed. Power off your device completely. Hold volume down and turn on the device. Your device should now be in the bootloader. Connect the device to your PC. Open a command window and run the following command from the proper location:
fastboot boot path/to/twrp.img
This will temporarily boot TWRP on your device. If you are using a lockscreen pin/pattern/password and do not get prompted to enter your passord, reboot to the bootloader and try again. Go to install and browse to the zip and install the zip. If you are currently rooted with SuperSU, you will need to reflash the stock boot image before installing TWRP. After installing the stock boot image, follow the instructions for installing TWRP. Once TWRP is installed, grab the very latest SuperSU released on 2015-11-15 or later and install SuperSU.
If you accidently flash TWRP to your device using fastboot instead of temporarily booting the image, you will need to download the latest factory image for your device and reflash the boot image.

@Tulsadiver First off, thanks for the post on this. I installed TWRP to slot A by accident and am finding myself in this same predicament (though I found that I can boot by switching to slot B). I found another post online that mentioned what you commented on, specifically:

Having previously downloaded Oreo 8.1 and setup root, I had loaded into TWRP, went to install, selected the TWRP zip, and installed (as per what you had suggested and what I read earlier). This is what led me to the current problem, making me realize that I'm missing something in the description. Now, I likely don't need to flash TWRP (I don't develop and used flashfire to do upgrades) but my last upgrade left me rootless and I felt having it installed would make life a little easier. I was hoping to ask for a clarification on the TWRP install.

Things have changed with 8.1. you have to root with magisk. From slot b you cannot fastboot flash boot_a boot.img?
I believe the instructions now are to boot to TWRP, install TWRP pixel installer zip, then flash Magisk zip
Here is where TWRP files are here

I hadn't tried yet. I was worried about messing things up further without asking for help online first. I'll give this a shot later. Does boot.img refer to the android image file? (ie: what I'd download from the OTA site?)

Yes, the zip file that is located where the flash-all.bat is. Unzip it and flash the boot.img.
I bought a Pixel 2 on swappa. It had different bootloader's on slot a and slot b. I couldn't flash updates when on slot a. I thought I was hosed but from slot b I could flash to slot a so now I'm fine. Slot a had a preview bootloader.

Can you explain what exactly were you doing ?!

Just hold the power button for 60 seconds or so, it should reboot normally. Did you flash twrp or just do fastboot boot twrp?

I'm new to this while A/B partition. I went through all the steps and my phone is rooted, with Magisk and TWRP. All seems to be fine. My question is this. When I boot to the recovery (TWRP) and choose the reboot option it defaults to Current Slot: Partition B. If I reboot to partition B it goes back to TWRP. I have to select Partition A to get the device to boot to the system.
Is this normal? Do I need to set it up in a different way?

i was trying to root the phone (wich i did) and then the twrp app that was on my phone after i had tried to install it using the img. it then turned into an ap that told me to update it in google play
after that was done i tried to flash it but everytime i tried it just crashed. a little time later after trying some more times i found that i started it in the bootloader and it ended up with me stuck in a bootloop. again i might not have explained enough. i am huge noob so i really need help.

discord
ignore the "discord" title. i dont think the phone has an OS right now. when i turn it on it goes directly to twrp. if i reboot the system it just goes back to twrp recovery. i think i need a way to install an OS (preferably OxygenOS if that is even possible). i realised that you guys properbly won't msg on discord. you dont have to. you can use the forums . i just really want help to get my phone back up and running. it is a OnePlus 6 btw if that is important.

To keep TWRP as the phones recovery, you'd first need to do as you did "Fastboot boot twrp" but that command will only allow you to boot into TWRP through your pc or whatever you ran that command on. After you've entered that temporary recovery, you'll need the TWRP installer .zip file, and flash that inside of that temporary TWRP. Then you can reboot into recovery on your phone again since it has been installed to one of the partitions.

You have to flash magisk after flashing twrp or else you are going to get this bootloop you are talking about

phone open again
my phone is back up and running again. i changed the partitian slot from A( the broken one with no OS) to B(the unchanged one) and it is now working again. if anyone is having the same problem the try to change to the second slot. it happend in twrp enchilada 3.2.2-0 if it is important. thank you all for your support.

I may be mistaken but I believe all you need to do is flash magisk to get up and running again

Why? You should be able to just flash the TWRP installer into TWRP and so its flashed into both boot_a and boot_b. It should boot ok to system from there, Magisk is just another mod to the boot partitions, like a custom kernel, etc. It should not be necessary at all, why you guys keep sayin Magisk is necessary for anything? it isn't.

Because you do. The OP6 will not boot with custom recovery unless it's rooted. I believe this is because the recovery and boot partitions are merged on this device. You're welcome to bootloop all day if you don't believe us.

Asking "why?" is not to not believe you, and the personal bootloop all day attack is out of the matter. TWRP is flashed on the ramdisk and should boot stock, unless something derped, if it doesn't boot I honeslty don't understand why, what is the exact reason? TWRP installer doesn't overwrite the boot, just patches it to have a mini recovery on it. It should boot...

I don't know for sure either, beyond what I said above. But everyone who has reported not flashing magisk has bootlooped.
If I sounded snippy, it was only because your post above was appearing to deny the reality of what is a very well-known issue with this phone.

I am not denying anything! just surprised because on TWRP website they clearly state that no post-twrp-flashing step is needed:
https://twrp.me/oneplus/oneplus6.html
The OnePlus 6 uses the newer AB partition scheme first introduced on the Pixel 1. As such there is no recovery partition. Instead, the recovery is part of the boot image. You will temporarily boot TWRP to perform and later perform a more permanent TWRP installation. First download the TWRP zip file directly on your device. If you don't download the zip file to your device first for any reason, you will need to adb push the zip to the device because MTP is not currently working on the OnePlus 6 in TWRP. If you are unable to use adb, you can also use a USB stick with an OTG cable, if you have those handy. Power off the device. Hold volume up to get into fastboot mode. Run this command on your computer: fastboot boot twrp-3.2.1-0-enchilada.img
In TWRP, tap on Install and browse to the zip and install it (the zip will probably be in /sdcard/Downloads). TWRP will now be installed to both slots. TWRP is now installed and you can reboot and use your device as normal.
MTP is disabled because it causes a kernel panic sometimes with the stock kernel.

Maybe the issue here is that the unofficial TWRP that everyone used NEEDS magisk while the official doesn't?

I think most people have moved to the official version. If it doesn't need magisk to avoid a bootloop, that's news to me. Not saying it's not the case, but I haven't seen any mention of it.

Problem with flashing custom ROM (error 255)

Hey guys,
after searching through different websites and guides you are my last resort to get a custom ROM running on my Redmi S2.
Everytime i try to flash a custom ROM i get the error 255. Here is what i tried until now (bootloader is unlocked):
- flashing twrp(twrp-3.2.1-0-ysl) to recovery using fastboot
- wiping phone (first wipe to disable encryption since miui puts some kind of password on the hard drive that i dont know, second wipe to ensure partitions are clean for new OS)
- mounting phone to pc to transfer OS image (tried Lineage and Havoc, both modified for S2 (ysl version)) and GApps
- finally, installing OS zip (after which i get error message 255, telling me that twrp wasnt able to install the zip file)
please help me out, ask away if something's not clear

Try this, you have to flash first this in fastboot https://files.orangefox.download/OrangeFox-Beta/ysl/ the R10.0-1 RC1 .img file
And THEN flash this https://orangefox.download/en/device/ysl once you are in the recovery.

so i tried this approach. i first installed how you told me to (orangefox R10.0-1 RC1 .img first), but factory reset nor installing the second recovery img worked because of the encryption miui puts on the phone. So i flashed twrp, wiped memory, flashed first orange fox img and from then installed the second img (as a zip). until here everything worked, orange fox told me that he's going to reboot to new recovery -- and i got stuck on the boot logo again. :c

As long as the bootloader is unlocked it should be fine. And no, you should flash the firmware just as you would flash the rom, i. e. from OrangeFox Recovery.

UPDATE: i finally ****ing did it. So here are the steps that i took (incase anyone has to go through this **** as well)
1. flash MIUI on mobile device using MiFlash (at least i did this by shorting 2 pins on the back)
2. (VERY IMPORTANT!!!) instantly boot to fastboot using Power button + Volume down. this has to be before android starts setting up the phone
3. flash recovery with the image that celephrn provided in this thread
4.boot to recovery by holding Volume up + Power button
5. install the miui update that celephrn provided in this thread
6. reboot to recovery
7. install orange recovery zip that celephrn provided in this thread (phone reboots to recovery)
8. now you can reboot to system (Do NOT (!!!) set the phone up, just let it work its things until you see the MIUI setup screen)
9. Now, finally you can dirty flash your custom rom (and GApps)
10. after flashing the new rom android will throw you alot of errors so you will have to wipe Dalvik/Cache, System, Data and Internal Storage.
11. now you can flash your Rom clean and you're good to go

Twrp boot loop

I patched twrp img with magisk and then ran fastboot flash boot "patched file" in fastboot mode. Now, whenever and however I start my system I get only the twrp menu. My device is Lenovo tab 4 8(tb-8504f)

Re-flash tablet's Stock ROM to get rid off of all modifications you applied so far.

re flash the ROM. dont flash the magisk or twrp after it. you will be saved.
you can use twrp via adb boot twrpxx.img So flashing it not needed.
Magisk installation has now become trickier simply flashing via recovery won't work

hello thanks for replying. Could you provide me with the official rom. I've found one but not sure how reliable it is. I also in the twrp menu installed the patched twrp image from sd card to boot. After rebooting I again get the twrp menu but the file is not being show in sdcard anymore.
