So after having my phone successfully rooted with Magisk, I tried to port a twrp.img, obviously unsucessfully. I flashed it to the recovery partition with fastboot... and now the phone is stuck in a bootlop.
Can't power it off, and the method I usedpreviously to enter fastboot mode (power + volume up) doesn't seem to do anything now.
Is this a brick?

So I managed to unbrick my phone.
I needed to use Mediatek's SP_flash_tool ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-sp_flash_tool_linux-mtk-mediatek-soc.3160802 ) to flash a working recovery (e.g., the stock one) and everything was fine afterward.

Hi, could you be so kind to elaborate on how you rooted this phone? I am stuck between sketchy apps and incomplete help guides.
All I got done is to unlock bootloader.
Thanks!
Using Magisk, patching the stock boot.img with Magisk Manager and flashing it.

Does your PC recognize the phone? Can you boot into download mode or fast boot?

The computer did recognize it but i cant enter into bootloader because VOL DOWN + POWER just give me a HTC logo
If you are S-On with an unlocked bootloader, you need to fastboot flash the ROM zip's boot.img.
The only what fastboot says is < waiting for device >.
Put your phone in fastboot mode from hboot.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img

how? I cant enter in it because vol down + power only turns the phone and appears HTC logo
Sounds like a problem with your volume buttons. Use adb: adb reboot bootloader. If that doesn't work, your volume buttons may be messed up.
Fastboot flash boot boot.img responds me < waiting for device >
You need to be in fastboot mode, not hboot.
but i cant go into fastboot or hboot. only what i get when pres vol down + power is HTC logo same one when i pres power without vol down

Was there an error message? Was it the boot.img from the ROM zip?
It wasn't. Now it works perfectly. Tnx a lot to help me solve the problem. And yes seems that volume button is bad
after lots of reading i decided to try out cyanogenmod 12!
after full backup (even ta-partition) i downgraded my z3 to .93 and then root it succsesfully with giefroot!
everything went fine until i tryd to install the boot.img over fastboot....
i dont know exactly what went wrong but now the normal boot hangs on the sony sign and if i want to boot into flashmode (vol+ & power on button) it just throws me into fastboot mode! so i kinda stuck here and dont know what to do
how can i get out of fastboot mode? what did i wrong?
please help!
a fastboot devices gives me a device back
an adb not
i hope there is some recovery option from fastboot
It sounds like you didn't unlock your bootloader? If so either try to unlock it with flashtool (just search for a tutorial on XDA) or reflash an official fw with flash tool to recover your device.
You should be able to enter flash mode by just pressing volume down (powered off device) while plugging in the USB port.

Not only does it sound like you have not unlocked the bootloader, but you probably have not backed up your TA, as you said you did that before you downgraded and rooted, however, you have to backup the TA partition AFTER rooting and BEFORE unlocking
My mistake, my bad mistake, I was trying to gain root and to flash a CM rom, but after first successfull flash of a boot.img with fastboot, I have tried to flash the rom with TWRP but my device was recognized as a wrong model, so I couldn't to flash the rom (in settings it was recognized correctly as D6603), so I decided to flash another boot.img, but it was for Lollipop instead Kitkat and now I can't put my device in flash mode or in fastboot mode to flash the correct boot.img or a fw, turning on the Z3 the display lights on and seems to have a bootloop, I see the splashscreen, but nothing else.
Is there a way to recover it?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I've tried with volume down (flash mode) and volume up (fastboot mode), nothing seems to works.....
EDIT: wow! now I was able to reboot it into recovery, but I don't know if it's useful, it's the Cyanogen recovery.
EDIT2: Yeaaahhh, from recovery I could reboot it into fastboot mode and to flash the correct boot.img, the device is recovered, I've tried one hour before, sorry to bother the community.
I was trying to get the latest twrp '2.8.7.2'. I downloaded it and flashed the img to recovery and nothing seemed to happen so I tried flashing it to boot then I tried to reboot the system. Now when I try to turn it on I get stuck on the Google like it is turning but it just gets stuck. I tried Charging it now when I charge it I get stuck on the battery logo. When I try booting it Booting it into recovery(twrp) I get a black screen. I can tell the Screen is on because of the dim glow it gives off but it is not doing anything. Note: I am some what of a noob when it comes to this stuff, My nexus 5 was running Marshmallow, and I was running the Xtra smooth rom (it is very close to stock). Plz help. I have also just found out that the reason im getting the bootloop is I flashed the wrong version of TWRP need a fix PLZ HELP.
Did you try flashing stock recovery or twrp 2.8.7.1?

All you have to do is boot into your bootloader (Power + Volume Up + Volume Down at the same time) and flash the stock recovery.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Chances are you flashed an incorrect version of TWRP meant for another phone hence the boot loop.

You dont need recovery, you need bootloader.

Can you please explain to me exactly what to do. thank you. also my bootloader is unlocked. I also can get to fastboot so what is the diffrence between bootloader and fastboot.
Hold down the volume +, volume -, and power button. You'll be taken to a screen with the word START at the top. Now, connect the phone to your Windows computer using the USB cable, open a command prompt and type "fastboot flash recovery nameof twrpfile.img", press the enter key, use the volume button to select recovery, use the power button to enter recovery, press the power button, press volume + button, and you should enter TWRP.
Thank you but I do not own a windows computer
Then look up the respective commands. You flashed twrp over your kernel, you need to flash a proper boot.img (kernel) if you want the phone to boot. Fastboot is ran through bootloader. Flash the proper kernel in bootloader using fastboot.

It might not have been working because I did not enable USB Debuging. :crying:
USB debugging is required for adb commands. With fastboot mode, debugging isn't necessary.

Can you please walk me through this i am some what of a beginner when it comes to some of these things. I can try the tool kits agin but need help.
Hi! My Oneplus One is stuck in boot (the oneplus logo).
I can get into fastboot but not recovery. I have followed some softbrick guides and the problem that I have is that even after flashing twrp as recovery I cant get into recovery. when I try to start it to recovery (volume up + power) I only get to the oneplus logo again. and when I use "fastboot boot twrp.img" the backlight comes on but the fastboot image stays, fastboot doesnt recognize it from this point so i have to restart it into fastboot mode again.
i have tried to flash the factory images, but nothing seems to change.
I dont know what to do, pls help..
After flashing recovery from fastboot, do NOT issue the reboot command. Press and hold the power button till phone powers off. If you issue the reboot command from fastboot, custom recovery will be lost. Also, don't know which twrp version you are trying to flash, but I would suggest flashing 2.8.6.0 first, then after you know you can get into recovery, you can flash another version.
Additionally, to boot to recovery you have to hold
volume down + power
volume up + power brings you to fastboot
Last but not least,
fastboot boot twrp.img
does not boot the recovery which is on your device, but the recovery image which is located inside your fastboot folder on your pc.

Ok, I did not know that the reboot command removes the custom recovery. Im almost certain that i've tried just powering down and trying recovery before too tho.
I was trying to flash twrp 3.0.0.0 so i'll try 2.8.6.0 asap

oops, i ofcourse ment that i try to get to recovery by volume down+power, and i know fastboot boot twrp.img boots from the .img on the computer, i just think its peculiar that nothing happens.
nothing has really happend after this, so i still need help.
summary: bump
I don't really get what you say. Perhaps i don't experiences before. @kenboyles72 is correct, official ROM may delete custom recovery (you can change the setting). Then @AcmE85 gives you an option, but it does not work.
Here is my option:
1. download any custom rom. The best idea is as minimum MB as possible. (Flash ROM directly from your PC)
2. flash your recovery, do NOT reboot. (fastboot flash recovery rec.img)
3. flash your ROM. (fastboot flash zip rom.zip)
Let's see if this would help you.
I had some issues a while back, where I was caught in a bootloop and flashing another rom. So I followed this guide, https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/31sf0x/guide_how_to_return_from_oxygenos_to_stock_cm11s . You can skip flashing the userdata.img to keep all data on sdcard. Also you can substitute flashing twrp recovery img for stock recovery. I myself went ahead and flashed all stock just to make sure everything booted correctly, then went into dev options and disabled update cm recovery, booted back to fastboot and flashed twrp 2.8.6.0. Evey thing worked like a charm.
Flasing stock rom did not affect anything noticeably.. phone is still stuck in boot/fastboot
Just to confirm, have you tried either/both of these:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732
I have followed the return to stock guide, but not the unbrick, since my phone is softbricked, not hardbricked.
I have followed this guide tho, to no avail https://m.reddit.com/r/oneplus/wiki/devices/one/brickguide
the strange thing is that i didnt cause this. The phone started randomly overheating and one time it just never booted up.
