after using the flashtool
flash image failure(FAILURE(remote:unknown OEM command))
what can be done more:crying::crying::crying:

Hello! I'm new to you at xda
I am having this same problem on my asus zenfone 5 (a501cg), when I clear the partiques cache / data or facrore reset, it shows the following. "E: cant mount / cache / recovery / last_update-log".
I would like and help, but I have not found a solution yet:confuso:

I stuck in bootlogo when booting into custom rom

I tried to unlock my bootloader with the Asus official unlock tool. But failed to unlock then I used this method [url]https://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone-2-laser/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-asus-unlock-app-t3405850[/URL] to unlock my bootloader and successfully unlocked my bootloader. Then I installed twrp using fastboot. I saw an error in my twrp which is -failed to mount/factory invalid argument. After all of these I installed custom rom and gapps successfully (I wiped cache after installation) then I reboot my device and my device was stuck in boot logo. I waited more than 30mins but nothing happened. No matter which rom I tried but had to face the same problem every time.
Is the twrp errors the main problem of my bootloop?
If it then how to fix it ?
Please help me I posted here with lots of hope. I hope I'll find a
good suggestion which might help me out. I don't want to stay in marshmallow anymore please help me ??.
Please forgive me for my English.

I got the same problem but error was in /asdf partition. So after wiping that my problem got solved.
You also try wiping everything except internal storage and SD card. Then install rom and gapps and check. :good:

otas doesn't work with custom recovery installed, yes or yes you need sotck recovery, maybe you try with firmware finder.

Here is the stock recovery. Flash this, then U will be able to update. After that U can re-flash TWRP

Hi everyone, recently I downloaded the latest update from huawei system updater and then I wanted to flash it with flashfire but when it restarts it says "check_write_data_to_partition,write data error" and "update_huawei_pkg_from_ota_zip: update package from zip failed" then it reboot normaly without system changes, what can I do?
edit:
in the head of the log it says olso:
"mountencrypt: failed to mount /data: success"
It's pretty ambiguous...

Hello dude,
sorry but you should post more info about your device...
What is your complete firmware ? ( settings > device info... example VNS-L31C432B381 )
Which update would you like to do ? A simple update of your firmware ?
Which TWRP version do you have ?

Twrp Elite 3.2.1-0
The firmware is not original. I installed the C432B414 a while ago but I don't know how ...
The proposed update weighs 2 GB. it's the C432B418-Full.
EMUI 5.0.3. Android 7
I don't know the difference between a simple update or a firmware update. I would only like to install the proposed 'update.zip' file.

Mmm, does not original firmware mean ?
You didn't said but i bet your device is L31, isn't it ?
Updates won't install via TWRP and "only" update.zip, you must use HuRUpdater...
Are your firmware 100% working ? If yes, i suggest to use
TWRP 3.1.1-1 by HassanMirza01 then to follow the procedure
in the HuRUpdater appropriate thread.
That's it. If you need some further info just tell.
Cheers

Yes, it's L31.
Hello,
I think I already have the TWRP version of HassanMirza installed. I will check this morning.
The firmware is not original indeed. This is an update that I had installed. In the meantime, I have lost the bootloader unlock code. Do you know if there is a way to retrieve it from the mobile since it is currently unlocked?

Hello,
How do I replace my current TWRP with that of HassanMirza? I put it on SD card and I flash it?
If it doesn't work, what will happen?
Brick?

I'm going to do a 'nandroid backup'. Via adb, is it possible? with the command 'adb backup --twrp'?

Heyho
3.2.1-0 TWRP have some issues and it's not guaranteed it will 100% work,
that's because i suggested you to install 3.1.1-1 version...
I don't know how to retrieve the code, maybe you'll need to pay 4€
and use DC unlocker to read it again...
If you will use HuRUpdater and ( suggested ) keep the TWRP,
your bootloader will not be re-locked.
Your current TWRP can be replaced flashing it into the recovery.
How to do it ? Place the TWRP into your SD card, reboot recovery,
tap install, then in the bottom right tap install image, select your 3.1.1-1 TWRP.
Next tap on recovery partition and swipe to flash.
When finished reboot recovery to verify if it's really changed.
There is no reason why it shouldn't work.
I don't know about adb, you can try... but i think you can do a
nandroid backup rebooting into recovery and
selecting every partition you see...
Beware using 3.2.1-0 TWRP, as i told you it could cause unexpected issues.. :cyclops:
P.S.: a good rule before making a nandroid backup or attempting an
update/downgrade/switch ROM are
to remove all the security of the device..
fingerprint and / or password and / or pattern.

Good evening,
I went to see for the TWRP of HassanMirza. This is version 3.2.1. Why are you telling me to take 3.1.1.1 ??
I finally found version 3.1.1.1 on the xda page of HassanMirza. I install it tomorrow. We will see if it goes well because in fair I downgrade from 3.2.1 to 3.1.1 !?
I found the link I followed to install the LC432B414 version:
https://www.stechguide.com/huawei-p9-lite-b413-b414-nougat-update/
I keep it under the elbow if it goes wrong ...
I forgot to say that, if it is possible, I would like to keep the root and the OTA updates ... Is (this possible ??

Hi,
sorry, you installed B414 firmware in your phone using that guide ?
If yes, which recovery did you used ?
Are your current ( B414 ) firmware 100% working ?
As i know firmwares cannot be flashed that way, that's because some
DEVs started create scripts capable to do that and because
i suggested you to use HuRUpdater method..
Anyway the device are in your hands and you can do anything you want...
Ahmmm, for your latest question, as i know, flashing a firmware will erase
the root ( not necessarily the recovery ), but you can easily reflash it...

Precisely, currently installed root is 'super su'. But I had to remove it because too many problems with some application. I was wondering if 'Magisk' works on this mobile? And if so which version?

I would like to recover my bootloader code before doing any manipulations in case it goes wrong. My mobile is unlocked but no longer root. I tried this command but it doesn't work:
adb devices
adb shell
su -c "grep -m1 -aoE 'WVLOCK. {14} [0-9] {16}' / dev / block / mmcblk0p7 | grep -aoE '[0-9] {16}'"
How can I recover this code which is on my mobile since it is unlocked?

Hi, that's a good news for you...
For magisk you should go in his main thread, then hit on the
Magisk's GitHub Page link.
I don't know which version, you have to try by yourself.
Download the installer (multiple versions, ex. 20.4 & 20.3 & 19.4), the uninstaller and the apk.
Flash the uninstaller into the twrp if something goes wrong.
Follow the installation guides...
Good luck.

I had that error before from a bad copy of oos. I would download it again and copy to USB again if that's what you're using. Also use this twrp to fastboot boot it works I actually just had to do it a min ago.
