Can't get into recovery mode,Phone stuck at oneplus logo-Help me please

I decided to reflash TWRP using Fastboot (Yes, it did show up in Fastboot), and I was able to flash it using:
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
But when I tried to boot from it using: fastboot boot twrp.img
I get the following error:
C:\adb>fastboot flash recovery twrp.img

Hmmmm...i don't think you can't reboot into recovery using fastboot command...you need to use power button + volume down to reboot into recovery manually....

re-flash the recovery and don't forget to use this command after flashing recovery....
Code:
fastboot format cache
then reboot to recovery manually....

I have exactly the same problem except I still have a working OS.
After I couldn't boot into recovery I tried to flash a new recovery by using the TWRP app ("flashed successfully"), reboot to the recovery... same thing, it's stuck at the logo. I tried the flashify app as well (flashed successfully)... reboot... same thing.
I also tried to format the cache in fastboot after flashing the recovery which didn't help.
So either I am stuck with this ROM for the rest of my OPOs live or someone can help me.
I am by no means new to flashing. I flash new ROMs since my HTC Desire, I flashed my SGS3 on a weekly basis and I own my OPO since it came out and I never had any problems.

if you don't have ROM installed you can manually flash a a rom from fastboot.

Return your OPO to Stock via fastboot

and reinitialize the rooting process, flash Twrp and supersu

Can't enter TWRP

I wanted to flash the latest update of RR7 but when i tried to get into the recovery the phone would reboot and show the twrp starting screen and then it would reboot again and start normally. I figured something must have gone wrong and reflashed twrp from my pc, however the issue persists. Flashify doesn't work either. So aside from a clean install, is there a workaround?

You can try to boot directly into twrp with "fastboot boot TWRP.img"

Just tried it, same thing happens i can see the twrp starting screen but i can get to the main menu.
EDIT.
Changed the twrp version to an older one. No results, tried both flashing and booting from fastboot.
i get the following message:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Minimal ADB and Fastboot>fastboot flash recovery twrp2.img

Then something is really wrong with your internal memory. Because that boot command in the post above does not use TWRP installed on your phone, it's a "temporary" TWRP booted from your PC folder.
Even if you've never installed TWRP on your phone (still have stock recovery) you can still boot to TWRP for a one-time/one-off session by using those commands. Do whatever you want, like install SuperSu, and when you reboot, you'll still have stock recovery!

I fixed it erasing the TWRP folder in my internal storage

Pixel Bootloop (Bootloader unlocked)

So I have been trying to flash the Pixel Factory Image, I have used the most recent SDK Platform Tools and I still can't get past the boot loop. I also have tried to flash the TWRP recovery but I am getting this:
Code:
C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Pixel\minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.3_portable>fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.3.0-0-sailfish.img
target reported max download size of 536870912 bytes
sending 'recovery' (31000 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.828s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Flashing active slot "_b"
FAILED (remote: partition [recovery] doesn't exist)
finished. total time: 0.938s
I have even tried but the bootloop is still there:
Code:
PS C:\Users\MyName\Documents\Pixel\minimal_adb_fastboot_1.4.3_portable> ./fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-sailfish.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.727s]
booting...
OKAY [ 1.010s]
finished. total time: 1.740s

There are a couple things wrong here:
Pixels don't have a recovery partition, everything happens in the boot one (root, twrp, custom kernel)
The first command in the first code block you wrote is wrong because the recovery partition is not there. In case you wanna flash a stock boot image, maybe for recover your device faulty kernel/twrp etc, without have to reflash the whole rom, the command should be "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
The command you sent in the second code block (./fastboot boot twrp-3.3.0-0-sailfish.img) in fact is correct because you just boot the twrp image (= no errors).
But when you wanna flash the recovery, you have to boot the twrp img and when it booted you have to flash the twrp.zip that you can download from the official site from the twrp screen, not the .img
Hope this helps

I'll add that you should also use the official platform-tools downloaded from Google. The minimal (and other alternatives) can give you problems when trying to flash.
The latest platform-tools is here. Note that Google hasn't updated the changelog, and the latest version is actually 28.0.3, not 28.0.2.
For TWRP, you need both the latest .img and .zip files from here, and transfer the .zip file to the Pixel. Use the boot command to boot from the .img, then from within the temporarily-booted TWRP install the .zip file.

Trying to boot to twrp

Everytime I try to boot twrp i get this message.
PS C:\adb> fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img
< waiting for device >
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.324s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: unknown command)

I am bootloader unlocked so I dont know why I am getting that message. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Try "fastboot flash boot [img name]".

The correct command is
Fastboot boot [drag and drop the img]

Are you on Beta1, if so, you can't boot into recovery that way, you need to flash recovery using Magisk first.

No I'm not. I'm on 9.5.11

If you have root, try flashing the recovery installer with Magisk

This command is useless it won't work. Download the latest oxygen OS zip(full rom package not the incremental one), place it in your internal storage and update it via the local updater.
After the update is complete you can boot to fastboot and then the command will work i.e. fastboot boot imagefilename.img
Hope this helps

Unable to install TWRP

Hey all, here's a list of steps i've done:
1. succesfully unlocked bootloader
2. downloaded the lateset 3.3.1.0 img and twrp zip (europe) from twrp.me.
3. entered fastboot and validated my oneplus listed under fasboot devices
4. opened powershell from img folder and ran: fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-0-guacamoleb.img
Then, it looked like the img was installed:
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 1.266s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.129s]
finished. total time: 1.409s
however, i got stuck with fastboot logo in my OnePlus, and ater hard-reset i tried to enter twrp - but i got the default oneplus recovery instead.
never reached the step where i install the twrp zip.
