OnePlus 3 may be bricked (Recovery won't load - OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion

I'm not sure, but my OnePlus 3 may be bricked.
I was running FreedomOS rooted, and with TWRP recovery installed. I downloaded a substratum theme, and installed it on the phone. When I rebooted the phone to apply the changes to the UI, the phone went into a bootloop. So i try to go to the recovery, by entering it via fastboot mode. Now it's basically acting like there isn't a recovery, neither twrp or stock recovery come up, just a black screen. The OnePlus splash screen shows up for about 10 seconds, then the screen goes blank. So when I try to load a recovery via fastboot flash on my computer, it still doesn't work. I've tried multiple versions of TWRP, and the stock recovery, and nothings working so fatr. Any tips or suggestions would be very much appreciated, thanks.

[Q] After flashing TWRP 2.6.1.0 recovery hangs

While attempting to root my device I flashed the recovery successfully with twrp 2.6.1.0 via fastboot terminal on my PC. Device booted to "HTC quietly brilliant" white screen and then does not progress beyond that point. I rebooted into recovery and using TWRP i installed the superuser.zip and it completed successfully. I then reboot again, but does not progress past the "HTC quietly brilliant" white screen (with developer message in red letters at bottom of screen). Device does not progress past this point, I have left for up to 20 min and simply does not proceed.
I am new to the community and probably did some noob mistake, just don't know where. Do I need to flash a ROM? I can reboot into fastboot or recovery, but no OS loads.
I seem to remember seeing here that you need to use 2.5 because 2.6... doesn't work............
flashed TWRP 2.5.0.0 no luck
I re-flashed successfully from 2.6 to 2.5 variant and still same response. I don't have any idea where to go from here.
some success...

Some progress......flashed TWRP 2.5 via fastboot --> sideloaded stock ROM_deodexed 1.31.XXX and was successful at getting phone to boot properly.
Only problem I have noticed at this point is that my gallery keeps crashing when loading my photos, but everything else seems fine. Not a big deal, but when using Zoe mode it saves each frame as a separate photo and can be difficult to navigate efficiently.

VS980 On CyanogenMod 12.1 Lollipop lost TWRP 2.7.0.0 trying to flash CWM Touch

I had my LG G2 VS980 (Verizon) on stock 26a KitKat with root and TWRP 2.7.0.0 recovery and I flashed CWM 12.1 using TWRP which worked great. I still had the TWRP recovery, which I believe uses an exploit on a 24a KitKat. Then, I decided to try CWM Touch recovery and used Flashify to download and flash, which, by all outward appearances seemed to work. (It gave success notification.) Then, after rebooting into recovery, it showed the LG boot logo, then black screen with tiny white writing that scrolled down about 4-6 lines, and then disappeared into a black screen that can only be escaped by holding the power down for about 10 secs. It boots into phone just fine (thank God), and if I hold the up + power at boot, it still shows download firmware mode, and if I hold the down + power and release and repress again at LG logo, I still get the Restore Factory screen, which is promising, but I am extremely reluctant to try that since I have no idea what would happen after upgrading to CWM 12.1 and my recovery is in the shape that its in. One thing that's interesting that no matter which app I use to try to flash a TWRP or CWM recovery, it always seems to flash too fast to be really doing anything at all, and it always goes back to that same tiny white writing then black screen. Also, another weird thing is that if I try to use Autorec which I downloaded to try to flash TWRP that way, it says Invalid Model, VS980 4G required, but that is what I have. Anyone who can figure this out and I will rename my firstborn after them! Thank you.
what happened is that you flashed a non bumped-loki'd recovery that by itself doesn't work. The screen you saw was probably LG secure boot error. The exploit bypasses this very screen that appears because our bootloader is locked.
To fix this, get this recovery here, extract the recovery.img from the dowloaded zip and use the flash tool to flash it. Your device should boot into twrp normally.

OK, I'm going to try that right now. Thank you for your time and help.
It worked! Thank you so much! And I really like the recovery I now have as an added bonus. What a relief.

Can't install/wipe anything (rom, recovery, ecc).

Hi everyone.
I've android 6 stock (xt1068), and today i woke up and it doesn't work
I try to install the twrp and then to flash rom, ecc, but after that i install the twrp succesfully, when i go in the recovery i see that there is no twrp but the main stock recovery. This thing basically appens with everything that i install/wipe, infact the bootloader tells me that my action worked, but it didn't.
Another thing is that if i let my phone boot up, after the boot animation it tells me 'Starting Android', then this text go out, and for a second the boot animation appears again, after that all the screen goes black. (The phone is not closed, but it is showing black in the screen, i think you got it)
Thank you

Magisk updated today, worked fine, but after rebooting stuck on google logo

I don't think it's bootlooping, it just sits on the splash screen. I can still go to the bootloader and TWRP recovery. What's the best course of action?
I'm also seeing this behavior I think. I did:
1) ./flash-all with Android 9 factory image.
2) Reboot, turn on ADB access etc.
3) Install MagiskManager, latest version 6.0.0
4) Reboot into recovery, and install Magisk v17.2, everything seems okay.
5) Reboot system
After the reboot, it gets stuck on the Google logo and then eventually reboots into recovery...
Anyone else seeing something like this?

Stuck on TWRP splash-screen + P10 only boots into recovery

SOLUTION: Turns out I was still able to boot into eRecovery. From there I could reboot normally into the system. I then went into fastboot and flashed Blackball's TWRP 3.2.1-0 build for Oreo. Everything boots smoothly now.
Hello,
today I decided to try and flash the ResurrectionRemix-GSI to my Huawei P10 (EMUI 8.0) which was successful at first. I unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP via fastboot (First Link to TWRP in this thread). From TWRP I did a complete backup and wipe and installed ResurrectionRemix (ARM64 A-only from this thread). The system booted up just fine and everything seemed to work like a charm. I then went on to boot into recovery again, because I wanted to install the pico package from OpenGApps.
The problem now is that I'm stuck on the splash screen of TWRP. When I try to turn off the phone by holing the power button, it just reboots to recovery, which greets me with the everlasting splash screen. I have also tried rebooting the phone via adb -> same result. And to make it even better: When I try to get into fastboot mode via "adb reboot bootloader", I get thrown back into recovery as well.
My current "strategy" is to just drain the battery and hope for the best (well... I can't even turn the phone off anyway). I've read that other people have waited up to 6 min for TWRP's splash screen to dissapear. I'm waiting for roughly an hour now, so I'm pretty positive, that it's stuck.
Hope someone can help.
UPDATE: The battery has drained now. When I connected the phone to its charger, it went straight into recovery and is stuck again. Fastboot still doesn't work.
Huawei phones do not seem to go along very well with TWRP for installing GSIs. The original recovery is required to do a factory reset, before you can boot into system. Can you reboot in fastboot mode? If yes I would flash the original recovery and system from fastboot. It is clearly explained on the Openkirin.net website. I can also recommend flashing one of their GSIs, since they include the Huawei camera and nano Gapps.

No, I can't boot into fastboot mode, at least not via adb (only method I know of). When I run "adb reboot bootloader" it just throws me back into recovery mode with the splash-screen stuck.
