Question TWRP on V.14 European Nord2 - OnePlus Nord 2 5G

Will there be a TWRP version compatible with oxygen os V14 currently running on European Nord 2?
I tried previous TWRP guides for the Nord 2 but it didn't work.

Recovery OS's like TWRP works with all versions of the nord2 regardless of the update version.
More than likely you didn't follow all steps correctly. There are multiple mistakes you can make which results in the stock recovery OS being reflashed and the TWRP recovery being overwritten; I'm not completely sure of all the scenarios in which this happens, but you definitely made a miss-step somewhere.
I'm also running an EU nord variant with V14 and TWRP works fine, I've just noticed that after a few reboots TWRP partition gets overwritten by the stock OS again, in which case I just simply reflash the TWRP if i need to use it.

oh..ok i didn't know this. Thanls for the information
I actually followed the steps.
fastboot devices -> then flash the vbmeta -> then flash TWRP -> but then i cannot switch to the Recovery anymore.
Booting the phone works fine but i cannot access the recovery anymore and it always directly jumps me back to fastboot mode. I followed several videos and tutorials here but whatever i do what works for others seems to not work for me
Whenever i try it seems like the recovery is gone. Even stock recovery is not accessable anymore. I wonder what i did wrong or if i need to flash other files too.

Assuming you've already unlocked bootloader and have all the mediatek drivers and ADB tools installed on your computer; Simply retry flashing vbmeta with the disable verity flag, then reflash twrp, and then reboot into recovery.
Make sure you've got a copy of the vbmeta.img and TWRP.img downloaded and place them in your ADB platform tools folder. Then run these commands
Make sure you shift-right click (for windows) on empty space in your platform tools folder and open powershel or command prompt (this is important), then send the following commands
Code:
fastboot devices
and wait for a response from your device to ensure it's connected
Code:
fastboot --disable-verity --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
then
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [YourTWRPfileName]
eg my twrp file name is TWRPopn2.img so i type "fastboot flash recovery twrpopn2.img"
then
Code:
fastboot reboot recovery
Make sure your ADB terminal and phone both say the flash was succesful after each flash. If not, then you likely didn't flash the partition at all.
My guess is likely that you shift-right clicked to open the powershell window in the wrong folder, such as your desktop, in which case sending the flash commands cann't find the right file to flash? Just a theory. Definitely sounds like your recovery partition got wiped though. You could also try redownloading TWRP to make sure you're using the right version of it.

Thanks for your help. I will try that again later.
What i can say i 100% opened the command prompt in the correct folder and the flash always said succesful.
I also thought about the command promt folder error before but it is correct. At least somehting got wiped (my recovery) but i simply cannot access it.
I will try again later and go over each step step by step and share ym results here. I hope i did a mistake because otherwise i don't know how to locate the problem.

Okey i did it again like the tutorial and also a second time like you said but it sadly didn't work.

This is my output from the command line. i use minimal ADB and fasstboot. But normal powershell by shift right click gives me the same output.
But when i try to reboot and boot into the recovery it just jumps to fastboot mode. So the stock recovery got flashed or removed then. But why i cannot boot into twrp?
Bootloader unlocked and based on the messages in the cmd everything fine.
Any ideas?
***Edit***
It worked now. If you ask me why, i don't know.
I did exactly the same in minimal adb and fastboot tools and on powershell. Both didn't work.
I did it in total 5 times and the last one in powershell randomly was succesful lol.
weird...

looks like the issue is more likely to do with your method of rebooting into recovery, as your reboot command did not seem to work.
Could be an issue with MinimalADB, or many other factors. If you're using the power button and volume keys combination, make sure you do it with your phone unplugged, as with the phone plugged in the combination boots to fastboot instead of recovery.
