I have the Tab unlocked. Verified with "fastboot oem device-info".
Changed name of img to twrp.img. Have img in same folder as adb/fastboot.
Seemed to install, but recovery was unchanged.

You can't install TWRP. You have to boot via fastboot, ie
fastboot boot twrp.img
HTH
It was installing, but it would reboot and twrp was gone. I stopped it from rebooting and booted into recovery and I have twrp.
I'm running Lineage 16 now.

Hey guys,
I have an stock, unlocked and rooted xt905 lying here with stock recovery right now.
For several times now I tried to flash either cwm or twrp but had no luck.
Thats what I did:
- complete backup
- unlock bootloader
- restore backup
- fastboot flash boot twrp.img
- fastboot reboot
Flashing twrp doesnt throw up any error but as soon as I say reboot, the phone reboots into twrp instead of booting the system.
If I try to reboot to system within twrp, it reboots to twrp again. Booting to recovery from twrp brings me to stock recovery.
Its the same thing with cwm and I dont have any clue why, as other users are saying that twrp is working fine.
Till now I tried several different versions of fastboot, twrp and cwm and none of them worked.
Any ideas?
You're using the wrong fastboot command.
By typing "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" you are flashing TWRP in place of the boot.img. You need to type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img."

OMG....
I am working on this phone since yesterday and couldnt figure it out....till now.
Embarrassing! I flashed about a dozen phones before and never had any problems whatsoever and now this.....
Thanks anyway! I am glad that I didnt brick the phone with flashing the wrong partition.
Today I tried to restore an old backup through TWRP, but for some reason my phone is now in bootloop and I cannot access TWRP anymore. Nevertheless, I can use Fastboot. How can I proceed in order to be able to boot into TWRP and restore a backup?
Thank you for your help
p.s. the bootloader is ofc unlocked

I tried, but it does not work. For example, `fastboot reboot` and `fastboot reboot bootloader` work. Any idea why? I tried to install again the recovery and it succeeded, but I could not boot into it :/
EDIT. it seems that `fastboot reboot recovery` command does not exist. How to get there then?

Hmm..you need to flash recovery again via fastboot. ( fastboot flash recovery ) .
me too who can help me please
So I let the latest OOS open beta 8 auto install via OTA. After the reboot, I lost twrp and magisk, so I went back to fastboot and wanted to boot into twrp, but I used the wrong command
Code:
sudo fastboot flash boot twrp-fajita-3.3.0-2.img
The word "flash" should not have been there! So this command overwrote boot_a. So I switched to slot B, and wanted to boot into twrp, but STUPIDLY used the same wrong command again!!
Now I can't seem to boot into system at all, and am stuck at recovery. I've tried a bunch of things, including flashing both boot_a and boot_b with a boot.img extracted from the open beta 7 via SuperR's Kitchen, but I'm still left in this state where if I fastboot boot twrp-fajita-3.3.0-2.img in order to flash the open beta 7 zip, it reboots only to oneplus recovery.
If I fastboot boot twrp-fajita-3.3.0-2.img in order to flash the open beta 7 zip, followed by the twrp zip, and with or without magisk, a reboot brings me back to TWRP, but where it does not ask for my encryption password and hence all my filenames show up as encrypted. Only if I fastboot boot twrp, then it gives me the option to type in my password and successfully decrypts the files.
Any idea how I can fix this?
SOLUTION: I think it was because I was trying to flash back open beta 7 after installing open beta 8 OTA. So after I found the download zip for open beta 8, I extracted the boot.img, flashed the boot.img to boot, flashed open beta 8 zip, and I could reboot and get into system. Phew!
Try flashing the latest Stock ROM via TWRP.
Yeah, like he said. Download the OB8 and flash it via TWRP.
Hello guys
I have a problem, yesterday I was putting the twrp to my one plus 6t via fastboot and as soon as I entered the bootloader I put the command "fastboot boot twrp.img" and it said "fastboot unknow command".
So I searched on google for the commands to start the twrp via the PC terminal and I found this command "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img".
Everything ok, it restarts the screen, 3 minutes then it is turned off and remains in the initial screen where it says that the bootloader is unlocked, it does not go in fastboot mode not in recovery
Tips?
Use the Msm tool to recover if your phone is bricked.

When it comes to A/B slot phones (Like the OnePlus 6T), you're not suppose to use the fastboot flash recovery twrp.img command. The reason why is because that command doesn't apply to A/B slotted phones, you need to use the fastboot boot twrp.img command to boot into TWRP and then flash the TWRP flasher for OnePlus 6T which can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...overy-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482
Make sure to download the flasher zip and the latest img for TWRP.
Drag the .img into the fastboot folder and use fastboot boot twrp-3.3.1-8-fajita.img. Then once it boots into TWRP, drag and drop the installer zip onto your phone's storage and flash it. Reboot into recovery and you should have TWRP on your phone.

Make sure the device is off,Press volume up + volume down button then connect it to the computer.
If your device still doesn't show up,try pressing volume up+volume down+power button and then connect it.
This worked for me in many cases.
When I connect my phone via USB it shows up in the device manager as Qualcomm HS-USB.... But when I try using MSM it shows the phone connected on port 16 and I hit start and it fails after 16 seconds because it can't do a download. My question is is the download external via internet or is it a file in the MSM folder? I might be blocked by firewall at work if external.
EDIT: Looks like I found my issue. I couldn't tell if my phone was on or off since I had no display after trying about 20 more times I guess I got it ON.
First of all, I must note that this is my first time flashing a phone, so don't rely too much on my knowledge on the subject, please!
So...
I started by unlocking the OEM and USB debugging from the developer menu, then downloading and extracting ADB tools to my PC. I unlocked my A1 just fine. I then proceeded to install twrp on my phone by using the "fastboot flash boot twrp.img" (as it was named in my ADB folder) and "fastboot reboot" commands. It should be noted that the "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" did NOT work in the previous step so I have to use the "boot" command instead. TWRP was working perfectly, and I wiped the data from my system and data slots from twrp (there was no cache option in the menu except dalvik which I also wiped).
After that, I added tissot's evolution_tissot-ota-td1a.221105.001-11121815-unsigned.zip and ProjectElixir_3.2_tissot-13.0-20221102-0447-BETA-OFFICIAL.zip to my phone via fastboot after download. Both were flashed successfully (I didn't try to do them both at the same time, of course. One didn't work and stuck on the boot screen for project elixir, so I tried the other after wiping the older one). Both were stuck on the boot screen for their respective teams.
EDIT: Tried it with the stock version PKQ1.180917.001.V10.0.18.0.PDHMIXM.zip, and it worked! Any idea what the issue is here?
If anyone needs more info, I would be glad to provide it. A little help goes a long way!
Cheers
