Hello,
I own a FXOS Zte Open C (ebay EU one)
I work on Linux Mint
I suceeed from step 1 to 7 but then in the recovery I am not able to flash any ROM
- adb sideload: not working, it starts but fails at 59% with error message
adb sideload EU_FFOS+to+Android.zip
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (status len)' *
- flash ROM the file on external_sdcard: impossible because recovery is
not able to mount external_sdcard (whereas it isperfectly seen in FXOS)
It is not able to format it either....
I do not know how to move forward
adb devices return correct ID
fastboot devices also returns correct ID
Could anyone propose a solution ?
Thanks for your help

I did format it with Linux and then everything went fine, I did flash the zip on sdexternal card.
Thanks for the tutorial !

adb reboot bootloader does nto seem to reboot not sure if it is supposed to or not.
i get to fastboot recovery and that seems to work
but when i adb sideload FFOS+to+Andorid.zip
it gives me and error: device not found
booting using the power button and volume up and selecting install zip and install zip sideload
halts at 59% and i get the error
* failed to write data 'protocol fault (status len)' *
any ideas whats wrong?
How to install twrp coustm recovery in redmi note 4g with fastboot
Very Simple..Don't Use Fastboot Or... there's a twrp installer in Windows, dowmload it..connect your device to pc nd jst follow steps...

take your device somehow into Fastboot Mode ..... and download those Fastboot files etc and put the recovery in that folder. Rename the recovery to recovery a d open cmd in that directory and type this command to check tht is your device connected or not . "Fastboot devices" (excluding "")
And then if it recognizes your pbone type this command "Fastboot flash recovery RECOVERY.img" (here RECOVERY.IMG is the name of the recovery image) hit enter and it will rake 3 secs approx and done .....

forget pdanet it won't do good anyway. First you would need this files on your pc/laptop.
download the drives first for your device link :- https://androidmtk.com/download-yu-usb-driver
download adb platform tools:- https://dl.google.com/android/reposi...st-windows.zip
download recovery:- https://dl.twrp.me/tomato/
after downloading is done.install drivers and then extract adb paltform tools and place the downloaded twrp img into the same folder.
Now keep in mind your directory should not have spaces eg D:\New folder\adb tools\.... but D:\New_folder\adb_tools or simply place to desktop.
go to the folder where adb and your twrp img is copied press shift+right click and select open command window here and put your yureka in fastboot mode. then type fastboot -i 0x1ebf devices now your device shold be listed.
type fastboot -i 0x1ebf oem unlock
fastboot -i 0x1ebf flash recovery recovery_name.img replace recovery_name.img with your twrp recovery name. download any super user app and then flash that using twrp recovery.

I seems that the right command is "fastboot flash recovery twrp.img"
Unless you wanna install the recovery onto the kernel partition.
@OP: The correct command to flash the recovery is
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Please correct it in your post.
it does't work

Because the instruction in first post is incorrect, after you flashed recovery you also need to use this command: "fastboot boot recovery_image_name.img"
This is needed only to boot into TWRP for first time, if you intend on flashing custom ROM's then Format DATA,reboot to recovery again and you can use it normal.
Hi , on my Oneplus 5 i flash custom rom (twrp) and root my device , now i want delete all , i want return my OnePlus 5 at the same when i buy .
On the OnePlus one , i download a cyanogen fasboot rom , and in fastboot mode i put a command for erease all and install new recovery new system etc .
But on OnePlus 5 i not find this possibility , I can do this ? I can erease all and install a Oxygen from fastboot ? where I can find the fastboot rom and the command to put?
Solution
I solved my problem with this step.
1) Dowload OxygenOS rom from official site OnePlus http://downloads.oneplus.net/
3) Adb driver installed
4) Put the file of the oxygenOs in adb folder , you can see this folder in C:
5) Start the smartphone in recovery mode , now click install from adb
6) From windows positioning on C folder , and start new session of prompt from adb folder ( you can do this, click shift on keyboard and while right click on adb folder , and you can see the option start new prompt command from folder)
7) from the prompt you can put the command "adb devices" , for be sure the computer see your devices.
8) Now you can install your rom , put the command "adb sideload filename.zip"
Flashing stock recovery
1) Download stock Recovery OnePlus from here http://oxygenos.oneplus.net.s3.amazonaws.com/OP5_recovery.img or else you can see on the download site of oneplus
2) Copy the recovery in the adb folder
3) Start a new prompt command from the folder adb
4) Put the smartphone in fastboot mode (power off the smartphone , and click volume up + power)
5) Put the command "fastboot device" for be sure computer can see the smartphone
6) Put the command "fastboot flash recovery name-recovery.img"
I hope I can help other persons with the same problem

Doesn't work for me the original recovery won't recognize adb device so here i have done this:
1) Flash a custom rom Oos based via twrp (i've done this with freedomos) DO NOT REBOOT phone after flash
2) Flash original OxygenOs firmware provided by oneplus site DO NOT REBOOT phone, not yet
3) Put original recovery in your sd card from your pc via twrp (if you don't already have it)
4) Install original recovery from twrp
5) After that, reboot to recovery and you should have the op original one, perform a factory reset via recovery
6) try starting device, if everything works you can finally re-lock bootloader (only if you want)

Yes this is the "defualt" method.. Mine was in case your PC won't recognize adb in stock recovery, because it happened at too many people for what i've seen on oneplus 3/3t/5

Help! I tried to do the sideload but in my powershell window says "loading: 'update.zip' *cannot read 'update.zip'* " I don't know what's the problem, my computer can detect my phone with "adb devices" and "fasboot devices" so that's not the problem
Reason for that is adb on Windows can't read large files as it's not Large Address Aware, I'll get the article I use that has a tool that enables that when I get home, it's basically a small program you need to run that enables that functionality.
