rooted OP3 w/ cm13 & TWRP: Normal & recovery boot black screen, `adb devices` empty.

Hi everybody,

I've got a rooted OP3 with CM13, TWRP & OpenGAPPS installed. I recently installed cm13 2016-11-25 nightly. After that, google play services kept crashing. So I tried to reinstall GAPPS via recovery mode only to find out booting into recovery mode ends up in a black screen. Normal booting still worked. Then I though maybe 2016-11-30 nightly would fix the problem and downloaded the images via settings -> update and rebooted via click on the downloaded image file. But of course booting into recovery still wouldn't work. But now even the normal boot ends up in a black screen. :(

To add insult to injury: When booting into fastboot mode `adb devices` list stay empty. (which I know worked when installing cm13 first).

Any idea what I could try next?

Niko.

1. Download new firmware from here (3.2.8 or OpenBeta 7) and TWRP (at least 3.1.0-2.22, don't have an original link, found one here).
2. Boot into fastboot (power+volume up button)
3. Flash recovery: "fastboot flash recovery twrprecoveryname.img" (without ")
4. Try booting into the recovery now.
If OK:
5. Flash new firmware.
6. Boot into your ROM.
7. Should be good to go.

If booting into the recovery doesn't work, try another TWRP, for example this one (it doesn't work with encryption yet tho).

Thanks for your help. Flashing twrp via fastboot did work.

I flashed twrp-3.0.2-1.28-oneplus3, twrp-3.0.2-1-oneplus3 and twrp-3.0.2-22-oneplus3. With all three: About a second after selecting "Recovery" in the "Options menu" I'm back at the boot screen (where I again can enter the "Options menu"). The same happens if I choose "Power off" or "Restart" in the "Options menu".

When I don't enter the "Options menu" and just let the phone continue I get the "1+ POWERED BY android" splash screen for 10 seconds and then the screen goes black. :(

Any other ideas?

Ok. Now it worked. I used twrp-3.0.2-22-oneplus3.img. I may have missed the "recovery"-part in your instructions "fastboot flash recovery twrprecoveryname.img" when I tried it first. *facepalm*

Thanks for you help! Niko.
