That image is more than 450 MB... Recoveries are less than 25 MB. I think that is not a recovery img.

That's really odd. It should just be just the recovery

Unable to flash TWRP (remote: dtb not found)

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.

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 Brother, If You have already unlocked the Bootloader, Try flashing again custom recovery Twrp through Adb/Fastboot tools, Thnks, Jesus Bless You.

If your firmware is SKU WW then download boot.img
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7F3ZXr565GkV2N3WjBoeEZXUUU/view?usp=drivesdk
You must have installed ADB SHELL on your computer.
Reboot to fastboot mode.
Command:
fastboot boot boot.img
Reboot system.
It will function only to the first reboot. If will all ok then again get to fastboot mode and command:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

how to recover?

Since I lost everything from the boot to the recovery to the system part to anything, i haven't been able to boot the phone;
I can access erecovery but when I try to recover the phone it stops at downloading and then says couldn't connect to servers so that's dead;
I can access TWRP but when I try to flash MM, it returns errors saying that it couldn't mount partitions (Vendor, cust and other...)
I can access fastboot mode. Some people suggested that I should try recovering using dload but the transfert rate to the sd card is taking forever;
Now I extracted everything from update.app using huawei firmware extractor (see http://imgur.com/MWeCCXi ) what should I flash (via fastboot) and in what order?
I would really appreciate the help.

By Nougat I assume you mean the file that has been digged out somewhere in the web and that is floating around here in the forums?
Well we all don't really know what this build exactly is, which makes it very hard to reconstruct your errors and give you advice... I would never flash that but okay, that's why we are here
Do you have a TWRP backup that you can restore (and if no, maybe somebody can upload you a clean TWRP restore file)?
Have you tried flashing CM / AICP?

Hi there. Earlier I spent a few painful hours in the same boat you were in. I've managed to get back to a fresh install of the Nougat build from this thread, but can't seem the downgrade to MM using the (translated from Spanish) instructions found here (linked from that first thread). How did you manage to get back to MM?
(I should add that I tried to flash boot, system and recovery via fastboot without any success).
Cheers

May god have mercy on your soul.
For the downgrade, I didn't use the b161 directly. I flashed some oeminfo provided in the same folder as the TWRP. Then used b150 ans the three boutons method. Worked like a charm.
Hope it will help you downgrade your phone.
I have the same problem, someone could explain it to me step by step, please

Bricked with fastboot and stock recovery!

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!!

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)
