Unable to install TWRP - Stuck fastboot mode

Phone: OnePlus 7 Pro
Build number: Oxygen OS 10.0.3 GM21BA
Anndroid Version: 10
Model: GM1913
Hi all,
I received yesterday my Oneplus 7 Pro. My objective is to install nethunter fully rooted.
After looking the requirements in the offensive security website i noticed i need 3 things
TWRP
Magisk
DM-Verify
I started with TWRP watching different tutorials and comparing them but they are similar.
- Installed sdk platform tools and Minimal adb/fastboot ( tried both ways )
-unlocked the bootloader and enabled usb debug mode.
- Once i do " fastboot boot twrp.img " everything seems " okay " in the terminal, but the phone becomes stuck in fastboot mode logo image, it never actually boots into the twrp.
In a different tutorial, i replaced the "fastboot boot twrp.img" with " fastboot flash boot twrp.img ". This broke my phone i couldn't start the android or go the recovery mode, i couldn't leave fastboot mode unless to restart or to turn off the phone. I fixed this by " fastboot flash boot boot.img " that i had available in the platform tools folder.
I tried different twrp images:
TWRP 3.3.1-74 Unified Unofficial Pie by mauronofrio
TWRP 3.3.1-70 Unified Unofficial Pie by mauronofrio
twrp-3.3.1-4-guacamole.img
Nothing seems to work, i don't know what else to try or what am i doing wrong.
I've been 8 hours around this so any help would be deeply appreciated.
Kind regards,

I have an almost identical problem to you.
except: my device is GM1910, I had a stock hydrogen OS, which has been converted to oxygen OS.
so far, I have tried twrp-3.3.1-0, 3.3.1-2, 3.3.1-3, 3.3.1-4, on oxygen OS version 10.0.2.GM21AA, 10.0.3.GM21AA, and 10.3.0.GM21AA, all would stuck at the fastboot mode logo screen
Rolling back to a lower version of oxygen OS, including version 9.5.1 and 9.5.7 causes my OP7P in bootloader mode no longer recognized by "fastboot devices", or even by "dmseg" as a usb device.
I received a suggestion of trying the latest TWRP 3.3.1-74 build, which I intend to try later tonight, but got not so optimistic about, seeing that you've experimented with TWRP 3.3.1-74 Unified Unofficial Pie by mauronofrio
One observation I do like to make, is that android 9 is considered as Pie while android 10 was developed from android Q.
since your device is already android 10 at version 10.0.3, should you still use the Pie TWRP build?

Hi OblixioN,
I tried the image with the Q at the end: TWRP 3.3.1-74 Unified Unofficial Q by mauronofrio and it worked. I had no idea what the Q or Pie meant so your information just solved my problem. I assume it will work for you.
Huge thanks!
Thanks - worked for me as well!
Unfortunately I formated before getting to this solution, so rather unnecessary for me, but what I did was getting the unofficial twrp for guacamole here:
h-t-t-p-s://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261707787
(from this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322)
Then I booted to fastboot at ran
Code:
fastboot set_active a
fastboot boot .\twrp-3.3.1-75-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img
fastboot set_active b
fastboot boot .\twrp-3.3.1-75-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img
Now I could boot into twrp, it found all the internal data storage, and I could sideload
Code:
adb sideload .\twrp-installer-3.3.1-4-guacamole.zip
adb sideload .\Magisk-v20.3.zip

It means if you are on Android Q, you need to use the TWRP version that supports Android Q.
Hey, I seem to have the same problem but how do u get it unstuck from the Fastboot Mode so I can try another version of TWRP?

hey there.
So, first of, You restart it by pressing and holding volume up, down and power at the same time for 10+ seconds.
And second, try updating Oxygen OS to its latest version. It works for me now, just unpacked a new OnePlus 7 Pro, didn't work on Android 9, works on Android 10 latest update.

I tried installing a new kernal and after that mine would go directly to bootloader, no matter what I did it went directly to bootload, thankfully fastboot was still active but using boot cmd into anything would fail,, ,I started my msm tool, and rebooted into edl and as soon as a com port became active on the MSM panel I hit start, and it took off running and did it's thing,
I think my issue had two reasons!
1. The boot.img file i used was from the earlier Oxygen update not the version i had just installed.
2. The phone encryption (but i doubt this!)
Anyway since nothing helped i erased the phone and restored it Now it's working again!

OnePlus 7 Pro (GM27BA) bricked - only fastboot

Hi folks,
I'm in an odd situation, as my device is the EU 5G variant that before this mess, I believe was on the 10.0.3 OTA. From what I gather, this means fastboot images and MSM tools are scarce, and generally not available for my device. Like an idiot, I pressed on with trying to install the LineageOS 16 build from:
https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/guacamole/install
For some reason, the LineageOS rom wouldn't flash through their recovery, so I tried some other ROMS I thought might be compatible to no avail.
After a series of mishaps, I managed to get TWRP to boot and formatted everything, including system. From then, I'm stuck in a bootloader loop without any kind of recovery or OS on either partition.
I can't fastboot boot any boot or recovery images, or fastboot flash boot. Everything just throws up the fastboot screen again, though I feel like this may just be a case of me not understanding the partitions.
I'm at a complete loss. I don't know how MSM tools work or if they exist for my variant.
How can I save my phone?
Thanks in advance
PM sent
Probably need to flash an entire fast boot rom and then wipe data.

[GUIDE][CHANNEL] Stock Android 10 for Boost Mobile Moto G7 Play (OBSOLETE)

Motorola Moto G7 Play
Codename: CHANNEL
Boost Mobile Variant
Model No. XT1952-4
OBSOLETE THREAD​
IMPORTANT NOTE:
At the time this thread was created, Motorola Mobility had not yet released the official stock Android 10 update for this variant of the CHANNEL. Because this variant has long since received the official Android 10 update, this thread is beneficial only for experimental or educational purposes. While you may certainly install RETAIL Android 10 firmware on the Sprint compatible xt1952-4, it is recommended always to install the latest official Android 10 firmware package released exclusively for this variant. Official Motorola stock firmware packages are available for the Boost Mobile/Sprint variant here https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/motorola/channel/official/Sprint/
COMPATIBILITY:
Although this guide specifies the Boost Mobile (xt1952-4) variant of the CHANNEL, device owners have tested and confirmed that this Android 10 firmware is compatible with other variants/models. Namely, the MetroPCS xt1952-6 and the T-Mobile xt1952-T are confirmed. It is safe to assume that, because this is a RETAIL based official firmware build, compatibility should be universal for all region based retail models.
DISCLAIMER:
By proceeding further, you are assuming full responsibility for the operability and integrity of your device. Although this is an official firmware package, installation of firmware has an inherent risk of damaging your device or otherwise rendering it inoperable if the instructions are not followed carefully. Follow this detailed guide carefully and concisely and the installation should go smoothly. However, I am absolved of any liability in the event you break something. If you do mess something up, either myself or one of the many knowledgeable members herein will try to assist you.
OFFICIAL ANDROID 10:
For owners of the Moto G7 Play, it's no secret that the official Android 10 OTA update has already began rolling out to device owners in Brazil. As such, it probably will not be long before device owners in the US begin seeing a notification for the Android 10 update. In the meantime, for owners of the Boost Mobile variant (xt1952-4) who want to manually update to Android 10 by flashing the official Android 10 retail firmware package, I have put this simple guide together to assist you. In essence, to update manually, you will need to install the Android 10 firmware package via fastboot or RSD-Lite. This guide is premised upon the fastboot mode method. This Android 10 firmware is stable and may be used for your daily driver ROM. Look to the end of this guide for reported bugs.

INSTALLATION:
For those members who are not familiar with installing official firmware via fastboot mode, I will outline the exact steps below, including links to the files you'll need for the job. This guide requires a Windows PC or laptop, running Windows 7, 8.1 or 10 (32 or 64-bit). While fastboot can be used with other operating systems, this guide is outlined for Windows based systems only:
1. First, on your Windows PC or laptop, you will need to download and install the latest version of Motorola Device Manager, to ensure installation of up-to-date USB device drivers. Motorola Device Manager can be downloaded here: https://support.motorola.com/us/en/solution/MS88481
2. Next, download and install the latest fastboot and ADB utilities for flashing the firmware to your device. We will be using the Minimal ADB & Fastboot tools, version 1.4.3. On your PC or laptop, visit this link https://mega.nz/file/dVR3xCJL#GjcIXtNcCoB7R9DJtyqJ3dfOmeuGuPUvx6FKgp23yrc
3. Now download the official Android 10 retail firmware package from the Downloads section below;
4. Extract the contents of the firmware package zip you just downloaded to your Minimal ADB & Fastboot directory;
5. Boot your Moto G7 Play into AP Fastboot mode. With the device powered off, hold the power button along with the volume down button for around 8 seconds or until AP Fastboot mode appears on your device display;
6. Connect your device to your PC or laptop using the OEM supplied -- or quality equivalent -- USB to USB type C charging/syncing cable;
7. Open a command prompt in the path of your Minimal ADB & Fastboot directory. Execute the following command: fastboot devices
If your PC/laptop & device are properly synced, the command window will return an alphanumeric string synonymous with your device serial number. If you are not properly synced, try another USB syncing cable, change USB ports on your computer, or try reinstalling the USB device drivers.
**NOTES: by following these installation instructions, you will wipe your device of all userdata. Before proceeding further, make a backup of any important files and media.
Once you have confirmed proper syncing between your device and PC/laptop, execute the following fastboot commands, preferably in this order:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1

fastboot flash oem_b oem_other.img
fb oem config fsg-id boost
fb oem config carrier boost
fastboot erase DDR
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot reboot
Upon reboot, your Boost Mobile Moto G7 Play will be running stock Android 10. During setup, select the "Use Mobile Data" option instead of using WiFi. This will allow your device to establish its initial 4G/LTE data connection on the Boost Mobile network. Once setup is complete, your cellular data, voice and messaging services should be functioning normally. Make a test phone call and send a test text message to confirm.

Android 10 Retail Firmware:
•Build No. QPY30.52-22 (April 1 SPL): https://mega.nz/file/YIZnwAAZ#17HH-vbEsbxQVPNLjvgNqdTHFI4Ow2ah6SNC4Nnw9ec
•Build No. QPYS30.52-22-2 (June 1 SPL): https://mega.nz/file/lB5gkaqK#BD-r7dSTw8dgZAfI90pJq7LB_XJvqcvSVshXbLo-yic
Android 9 Pie Stock Firmware:
• Official Firmware Builds: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/channel/official/Sprint/
BUGS:
• PRL/Domestic Roaming:
When roaming outside of the home network, the device may give a mobile IP registration response error (MIP Error 67-- Mobile Node Failed Authentication), and the cellular signal may become unstable. This is most likely due to the lack of an integrated PRL (Preferred Roaming List) provisioning service within the retail firmware. I am looking for a workaround: possibly implementing the Boost Mobile radio firmware from Android 9, or including the SprintDM mobile provisioning service as an add-on;
• Gesture/Navigation Features:
As XDA Member @JohnSmith8786 has pointed out, some of the native Gesture Navigation features in the RETAIL Android 10 firmware are somewhat unstable and buggy at times. This bug has been reported to Motorola Mobility via official bug report. Since this issue does not appear to be specific to a particular variant/model, and has been reported on various different models, this issue is likely unique to the RETAIL Android 10 firmware builds, and will likely be resolved by stability improvements/bug fixes in a future OTA(s).
Please report any bugs or instabilities in comments below. Also, please provide confirmation regarding compatibility of this Android 10 firmware on specific Moto G7 Play models. In theory, this firmware should work on any model with an unlocked bootloader. As all Android enthusiasts, modders and devs know, confirmation is always better than theory.
Could it work on XT1952-6 from MetroPCS?

Thank you very much. I will add that to my OP heading. Yeah I've noticed some slight buggy behavior on the RETAIL Android 10 gesture navigation features too. Motorola Mobility has been notified of this issue, so perhaps a future OTA will fix this.
So this shouldn’t affect my modem or data connection on the Sprint Nationwide Network for Boost?

Correct. Flashing this firmware to a device active on the Boost Mobile network will continue to function normally. I have noticed some buggy behavior when roaming outside of the home network. Other than that, your device should function just as if you were using the Sprint firmware build.
Sorry I was rusty
Does anyone know if in this Android version call recording goes back to our Motorola? On Android 9 I had to root phone for enable call recording. How is it now?
For those with the Sprint/Boost Mobile variant of the xt1952-4, the latest OTA is live, bringing the Build No. to QPYS30.85-18-6 and the security patch level to October 1. For anybody needing it, I will try to post a link for the entire firmware package this weekend. Here is a link to the latest full firmware package for the Sprint/Boost Mobile xt1952-4 https://mega.nz/file/SmAEwRZL#M4KP8hHHEtBw5fOtHGRuGfDV8F0SUkFENVGctzJagFw

Let me make sure I am not misunderstanding. You want to run official stock Android 10 and root with Magisk, correct? If so, you can certainly do that, but since the Moto G7 Play does not have a boot-ramdisk, you ate forced to jump through some hoops to get Magisk installed. You are much better off flashing.offiicial Lineage OS 18.1 (Android 11) and installing Magisk using the typical boot image patching method -- the normal method. LineageOS 18.1 has a boot-ramdisk. If you do not like LineageOS, there are many official Android 11 based custom ROMs available for the CHANNEL. And a few Android 12 custom ROMs. They all include boot-ramdisk.

I've never bothered with custom ROMs. My interests with rooted phones are for practicing forensics and pentesting.
I'm downloading the latest Lineage and will try it that way. I'll report back when completed or I run into issues.

Cool. Yeah let me know. Follow the install instructions for LOS 18.1 directly from the Lineage WiKi. The install is not standard TWRP like most Lineage builds. This has to be done using.adb sideload in TWRP mode with a PC.
That should have posted 2 hours ago.
This is what I f'ing loathe about this process because it happens virtually EVERY time regardless of the device or OS or mod that I'm doing.
The first thing I did was make sure sdk tools were updated. There were updates for Android 6 and 10, as well as two new modules to install. It took about a half hour to go through them all, but everything is updated.
Downloaded LoS, latest version, and the recovery image.
Go to the first step on the LoS install, which is to sideload a specific zip file. kay...
-reboot into bootloader, then from there to recovery
-adb sideload <the file>
-on computer: error:closed
-on phone: Error 21, footer is wrong
This nearly ALWAYS happens, and I have yet to find a fix. I google for an answer, keeping results to just within the last year, and someone on Reddit had suggested a fix that worked for the poster. His problem was that he was in stock recovery. He needed to be in LoS recovery.
I think "well, they give you a recovery image separate with the OS download, maybe it's to boot with, like TWRP." So I boot into the bootloader and try to fastboot boot <lineage recovery.img>..........and it just starts up normal. I go to settings and check the build, and it's still the Android 10 version I started with. Tried it again, same results.
So then I get the bright idea to stay where I'm at in stock OS and adb reboot <lineage recovery.img>
Now, on my phone it's in a weird Android Recovery screen. "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupted. If you continue to get this message...." Then it gives me two options: Try again or factory reset.
Well, my mama didn't raise no quitter, so I hit Try Again. It goes to the black screen with "N/A" on it (which is what it would do back when I had this thing rooted and everything was peachy until I forgot the lock screen pattern), but then I get that error message again.
I'm going to factory reset and see what happens. Anyone with a solution, feel free to chime in anytime.
Factory reset complete. Now I'm.....still in Android 10, build QPYS30.85-18-11.
Lol, just to clarify where we're at: The process I'd "be much better doing" took three hours to implement just half of the first step, and it led to me having to factory reset because it wouldn't boot.

Question Some new installation experiences

Hi there,
I don't know how first installation of Lineage (and probably other Android tastes) went, though I had some issues I would like to share for people trying to install another OS then factory setup in the future.
I bought a new fresh G100 four days ago and set it up with only wifi, no sim, just to enlock and install LOS.
As I read on the forums, it normally is taking 2-3 days before the button in developer settings is active and not greyed out anymore, though for me nothing changed. After three days I did a full reset and set it up with only wifi, no sim, and the button in developer settings was active.
I used the following drivers and SDK:
SDK Platform Tools release notes | Android Studio | Android Developers
Android SDK Platform-Tools is a component for the Android SDK.
developer.android.com
Drivers | Motorola Support US
Visit the customer support page to view user guides, FAQs, bluetooth pairing, software downloads, drivers, tutorials and to get repair and contact us information.
motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com
I used the following guides for unlocking:
Sign in to Motorola - Motorola Mobility LLC
Sign in to Motorola
motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com
Info about nio variants | LineageOS Wiki
wiki.lineageos.org
After unlocking in fastboot I did not reboot, though emmediately flashed the Lineage recovery.
The recovery from the LOS website was not booting so I installed TWRP:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-3-5-2-for-moto-edge-s.4303199/
This recovery was booting and there I flashed the copy-partitions-xxxx.zip and emmediately after I installed LOS.
The procedure above was not working for me as I ended up with a phone only booting in fastboot.
So what I did afterwards was the following:
Phone was already unlocked, so installed the latest firmware following the procedure here:
https://www.getdroidtips.com/firmware-moto-g100-xt2125-4/
So, downloading latest firmware flash files, extracting to a folder with fastboot etc.. in it, and entering the commands to flash the firmware.
After that I head all my partitions back.
Then I installed latest LOSrecovery.img from:
index - powered by h5ai v0.29.2 (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/)
index - powered by h5ai v0.29.2 (https://larsjung.de/h5ai/)
build.lolinet.com
To be sure to have it in boot_a and boot_b I did:
fastboot flash boot_a <recovery.img>
fastboot flash boot_b <recovery.img>
This was working, so using adb sideload I now installed:
adb sideload copy-partitions-20220613-signed.zip
and the latest LOS:
adb sideload lineage-19.1-20220903-nightly-nio-signed.zip
(To use adb sideload you can go to "apply update" in LOS recovery and then "apply from ADB")
A working system, yes!
My questions at the moment;
- Is the official LOS recovery indeed not working, or am I doing something wrong?
When the above is true:
- I can not use the LOS update functionality as it is not possible to switch off updating recovery in settings?
- I have to disable LOS update and use adb sideload for updating?
In general:
- Is it possible to lock the bootloader again after the setup above, or do I have to keep it unlocked? Coming from Oneplus and there I could lock it again.
Hope it helps and am curious if the experiences from other people are the same.
For your last question, no, you can't relock the bootloader while on a custom rom for this device.
Today I tried again to install the LOS recovery from the official download page https://download.lineageos.org/nio
So in fastboot I did:

fastboot flash boot_b lineage-19.1-20220903-recovery-nio.img
For your information; installation went without any issues. Recovery working fine, LOS booting fine, no issues.
So what went wrong the first time I do not exactly know, though I think the trouble came because of not rebooting after installation of LOS recovery and doing a full reset from within recovery to remove encryption.
Someone who can answer that?
That's it for now; a new happy G100 user!

Question Help me, I have a oneplus 9 model LE2117 from T Mobile and I want to unlock it and thus update to android 13 oxygen os 13

Safely convert regions (includes T-Mobile) as well as restore the ability to use OOS12 after using Indian MSM to recover from a brick (Windows only)
It seems lots of us have had to use the India 9 Pro MSM to recover our devices and in the process, we lose the ability to go back to OOS12 or ROMs based on that firmware because the touchscreen stops working and also trying to convert T-Mobile...

Follow this, use the first link to download the tmo MSM India mod msm tools, when done, unlock the bootloader, then boot into fastbootd mode "not talking about regular fastboot/bootloader mode" and then download fastboot enhanced and extract it
then go here https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/oneplus-9-rom-ota-oxygen-os-repo-of-oxygen-os-builds.4254579/
Then click on Signed flashable zips > LE25AA Global > 11.2.2.2 then download it, extract the payload.bin, move the payload.bin to the same directory as the fastboot enhanced folder would be "not required but just for easier access to the payload.bin file", when it's done flashing, reboot to recovery, wipe data, then reboot to system, then do an OTA update to Android 13
If you have any problems please reply back
