I was trying to update my PRA-LA1 to Oreo. I rebranded my phone to China ROM successfully then I tried flashing the Oreo ROM and I got the above mentioned error. I can boot into fastboot but I can't boot into TWRP. If I try flashing recovery or boot it says partition length get error. Please help restore my device.

The recovery partition in Oreo is recovery_ramdisk, try flashing your TWRP (make sure it is Oreo supported) to recovery_ramdisk partition. Also your thread is in wrong forum. And before doing anything to your device, make sure you read instructions properly.

When I try to flash TWRP (via "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img" then "fastboot boot twrp.img") I receive the following error:
Downloading 'boot.img'
OKAY [1.477s]
booting...
FAILED (remote: dtb not found)
finished. total time: 1.534s
I've tried manually booting it into recovery with power button and volume down but it just freezes on the oneplus logo where I have to turn off and on again.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I found the solution.
For anyone else with this problem

that link just saved me!
I tried this recovery (I had the same problem as the OP) but although I can boot into twrp, I get stuck on the oneplus logo if I try a normal boot?

I managed to get it working by flashing CM after flashing the recovery.

Next time, correct command is the following:
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
You tried to flash the recovery image onto the kernel/boot partition, luckily it doesn't allow this, unless it's an actual kernel image fitting that partition. ?

Actually, fastboot boot twrp.img boots the TWRP image without flashing it.
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img flashes the TWRP image to the recovery partition.
Both are valid commands and have their uses.
fastboot flash boot twrp.img would be the command to try to flash the recovery image to the boot partition and shouldn't be used.

Are you sure you flashed the correct OOS3 bootloader compatible version of TWRP? Latest official 3.0.0-2 should be compatible.

The bootloader (also called fastboot) comes with the original ROM. In your case you're already on the newer bootloader since you flashed OOS3 which means you will have to flash recoverys and ROMs compatible with this newer bootloader.
This TWRP should be compatible
https://dl.twrp.me/oneplus2/twrp-3.0.2-1-oneplus2.img.html
Also you can't run ROMs not compatible with this newer bootloader (which means pretty much any ROM that's not using the official Cyanogenmod source tree for building). That is except for OOS3 or newest HOS of course since these are made for the newer bootloader.
However I would say the error message you get might be caused by bad cable, faulty driver setup, faulty fastboot tool version or in worst case damaged partition layout on phone. The last one can be fixed by the Qualcomm OOS2 factory restore solution.
Hi, i am having the same problem.
some background: I was on Oxygen OS 2.x.x, i wanted to upgrade to Exodus 6. I had the older version of TWRP. So I tryed to install the new twrp image within twrp. When i rebooted i couldnt boot into twrp, receiving the same error message as in OP title, when using fastboot.
Using the tool all in one toolkit I was able to flash stock recovery.
But I still cant flash Twrp.
I can still boot into system though.
Any advice? Thanks.
That explains why you're having problems. You're doing it the wrong way.
First you must upgrade the bootloader by either flashing the convert to Marshmallow zip file which also installs the correct TWRP for the new bootloader (easiest way). Or you could flash the latest official OOS3, then fastboot flash the latest TWRP and from there format system and flash the ROM that's using the newer bootloader.
Does that Link work with oneplus x also? Having same problem as Higgings when trying to install twrp and cyanogenmod.
thnx a lot for sharing
:good:

Hi, my problem is with the L31,
I've trying to downgrade from Nougat to MM. I saw on the thread this steps and i followed:
"Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img (This one is in the second zip from badwolf nougat download)
Then I flashed badwolfs recovery b2 as that one lets me transfer files from pc to phone and followed instructions from htcmania from here".
The problem is that i didn't reach to downgrade and when i try to reinstall Nougat by TWRP i get this error messages:
" E: Unknow comand (errno) update_huawei-pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed"
"Updater process ended with error: 7
Error installing zip file '/external_sd/DLoad/Update.zip'
Updating partition details...
...done"
Now my phone stays freeze on the huawei logo and the flashtool doesn't even recognize my device.
Can someone help me with this matter, please?

"I had to first extract the nougat firmware with huawei firmare extractor and flash everything by fastboot
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Fastboot flash system system.img
Fastboot flash cust cust.img (This one is in the second zip from badwolf nougat download)
Booth files you can find it in this page.

To flash img. i used the file that i attached.
Good luck
so now i restored twrp , i put the update app in sd card and it doesn't want to flash , i'm still trapped in bootloop but i have access to twrp now what to do now ?
I found the old twrp is okey for downgrade,
Just put b161 update.app into sdcard/dload and press volume down + power key.
but flash badwolf's twrp will get stuck in fastboot, though It's not really bricked.
hi, maybe you also have a solution for my problem.
i installed a wrong update via sd card (dload etc.), now my phone is just black no signal nothing. and it seems like a fastboot loop always when i plug into the pc im in fastboot without doing anything
when i try to unlock the bootloader i get "failed command not allowed")
and also when i try to flash the extracted files from update.zip i get the same error ("failed command not allowed")
by the way i didnt active usb debuggin or oem unlocking
please help thank you
So... I tried to get the P9 lite to custom Nougat ROM.
Unlocked bootloader using SRKtool (found here ) and flashed TWRP using the same tool.
Installed SuperSU. Made TWRP backup of all partitions (including cust and oeminfo).
The post suggested that stock Nougat ROM should be installed first, and then the custom ROM. But my model was different than the generic EU, so I thought I should update it, right?
Without much thinking I used the SRKtool again to flash oeminfo/custom.bin, and didn't even make backup of the files
Now my phone thinks it is hi6250 VNS-C432B140.
After boot message "Your device has failed verification and may not work properly." was displayed and boot was interrupted with "Type your password to decrypt storage" prompt. After formatting data partition system boots.
I can't boot into TWRP recovery.
I can't flash any partition with fastboot (Error: FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)).
Any ideas how to get oeminfo back to VNS-L21 and/or restore TWRP backups?
Bros!
I am in serious need of help right now.
I could not find the OTA patch for elite roms,so I wiped all the partitions available in twrp except internal storage.
Changed data to ext4.
Flashed stock recovery.img from twrp and proceeded to dload method, it gives an error on 5 percent.
Now i only have stock recovery and fastbooot.
I tried fastboot flashing different images eg recovery,twrp,system,vendor etc but they all give an error of "command not allowed".
(On fastboot screen,it shows: "phone unlocked" and "frp lock")
I tried some guide for solving this error which said to "fastboot oem relock *16 digit code*" but it also gives error : "root type is risk".
I had legend rom installed before starting all this.I wanted to go completely back to stock.But now i have bricked my device with a stock recovery and a fastboot which can apparently get no useful command to work.i have searched all the google for all the the different huawei devices but nothing is working.
Help me please!!!Any and help will be appreciated!!

What does it say when you
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.IMG
?
Rename TWRP to recovery ( according to my experience, I get error when recovery has other name)..
If that fails use firmware finder to download firmwares..try them all if possible..including different models of the same Honor (in case OEM changed)

Hello I wanted to install Oreo on my PRA-LX1 following this guide
https://www.haky86.com/2018/05/12/install-emui-8-0-huawei-p8-lite-2017/
I was on official EMUI Nougat firware, I downloaded LX1C432B322 of 2018.04.13 what he said, installed nocheck recovery and then update_command. Reboot, title, nothing works except fastboot. I re-unlocked the phone with oem unlock and after reboot same.
I tried to flash twrp-3.2.1-v3.5-prague.img again to fix but length error with "fastboot flash recovery"
I tried to flash his OreoTWRP.img with "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk" and it pass, reboot but I can't boot to recovery.
Pressing VolUp + Power does nothing, "phone can't be trusted" screen with the eRecovery option (VolUp for 3 seconds) but eRecovery is dead (error mode)
Maybe this OreoTWRP worked but how to bot to recovery now ?
please help I can't buy another phone it's urgent...

Download the nougat rom you were on before. Extract update.app to get the recovery. Flash it using fastboot. Then try dload method.
Or flash nougat twrp and try flashing the nougat rom via HuRUpdater
