TWRP stuck on splash screen?

I just got my 3T, flashed TWRP, flashed the new OOS Beta 2 build, and changed my 3T's splash image. Now out of nowhere, TWRP will get stuck in its logo. I didn't flash anything the last time it worked, it just randomly stopped working after a backup. I've gave it a few minutes, tried older/newer versions, and deleting the .twrps file on the internal storage. Does anyone know what's going on and how to fix it, preferably without wiping data?

Edit: I can boot into OOS just fine and everything but TWRP works.

I had the same problem a few hours ago...
I flashed the latest TWRP and then booted it via fastboot (fastboot boot twrp-3.0.3-1-oneplus3t.img.).
I waited 1-2 minutes, rebooted it into TWRP again (this time not via fastboot but with the buttons of the phone). After a few minutes I finally saw the usual TWRP UI.
I don't know why or how, but it worked.

Thanks. I had to wait about 6 minutes, but it worked.

I have similar problem but for me just get black screen with only notification led on... I have tried everything (reflash, dm verity zip, swap zip, f2fs version etc.) but nothing work. Im using RR rom, EXT4, decrypted. Only way to boot recovery is "fastboot boot twrp.img"

Same thing happened with me. Followed the usual "flash recovery" and "boot" approach. Got stuck at splash forever.

Removed the USB cable, turned off the phone. Started the phone with "Volume Down+Power" combination and it booted in recovery after a few minutes of the splash screen.

The Hammer!
This a late addition to the thread but it will hopefully avoid continued confusion or new threads on the same subject. It seems that Nougat defaults to ext4 for the SYSTEM (and boot?) partitions but f2s2 for the DATA partition. TWRP will open within seconds with an EXT based partition but will take several minutes (eg 5-10) to open if your DATA is f2s2. You can live with it for now, or you can reformat your DATA partition to EXT4. Note that this will wipe out all of your data!

I had the same problem recently, I found a solution on a reddit post somewhere;
Basically in terminal/CMD in fastboot mode wipe cache and userdata then reboot to recovery.

Code:
fastboot format cache
fastboot format userdata

Worked for me.

Just replying to say this worked on my Redmi Note 3 even though this isn't the correct forum. Formatting cache only doesn't work, you must format both cache and userdata, so I hope you have a backup. I wonder what causes this...

It worked for my Redmi note 8
- firstly you need to boot device in fastboot mode then download orange fox recovery on PC for your device and install it on your device (watch youtube video) after installation boot your device by power button or type command in cmd when you installed recovery then from OF recovery Reboot your device into system then your device will boot in system not in recovery

    Remember that it takes a while to boot up TWRP if you're using f2fs, the more files on the data partitions the longer it takes.

    true ! kernel source been released hopefully some one makes an advance stock kernel.
