Can't flash TWRP recovery on OnePlus 5 - OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers

I was trying to download and flash xposed on my phone, so I got the app and downloaded the zip.
I went into Magisk and for some reason I flashed xposed framework through Magisk (I thought it might work)
I tried flashing the all 3 of Xposed installers and didn't work.
Realized I didn't boot so I re flashed the stock rom oos 4.5.8, and it worked again, but no root.
So I quickly try to flash twrp through adb on windows but it doesn't work, I keep getting an error message going like.
sending 'recovery' (27525 KB)...
FAILED (remote: Requested download size is more than max allowed
)
finished. total time: 0.004s
I haven't seen a thread or a website explaining how to fix this.
Yes i did try git bash, but the same error happened.
Please and thank you.
p.s. I don't any of my data gone.

Try to re-install adb

And try a different usb cable...
It seems to work best with the cable that was sent with the One+5 but you could try a different cable...

Had the same issue. Just get the latest ADB from XDA, it should work fine.

try to boot twrp insted of flashing it.....
as " fastboot boot twrp.img"

try rebooting your PC, it worked for me

Can not flash anything in fast boot.

I been trying to flash twrp in fastboot. But every time I run the command to flash twrp it does nothing. I'm running marshmallow flashing twrp should work. I do have my bootloader unlocked.

I seem to recall having an issue where the fastboot command would not work. I updated my sdk and it worked.
Are you using a Windows machine or Linux. I had and issue with fastboot on Ubuntu, and eventually found a fix.
Also make sure your computer is seeing your phone in bootloader mode type... fastboot devices.

I would try the repair function. If you uninstall the Moto program, the drivers stay installed. So you would have to manually remove the drivers.......I would just try the repair function. Then make sure you have oem unlocking and usb debugging turned on in the dev options. Then try the
Code:
adb devices
command. It should return your device id.

Help with rooting P8-lite Ale L21 dual-sim C432B564

I have a relatively new P8-lite L21 dual sim phone and I am quite happy with it. It came with C432B170 which is Lollipop I think 5.01. After a few days it updated to B172. I have unlocked the bootloader after registering with Huawei and waiting 2 weeks. Then I have successfuly rooted the phone with Kingroot phone version. Two or three weeks ago I have updated the phone to MM (6) and Emui 4 with local update (B560) that I have gotten from this forum. 2 days ago I recieved the notification of OTA B564 which went smoothly beside the fact that it reset the phone but i have succesfully restored (contacts, data etc.) All of this time since I upgraded to MM i have tried to root the phone but I was unsuccesful either with any software solution ( Kingroot, Kingoroot or others). After reading most if not all discussions on this forum and several blogs and how -tos, I tried the so called fastboot method others have recommended but here is now the gist of my problem. My phone is seen by my PC - OK so USB drivers are properly installed (by the way my PC is Win 10) and I have installed Android SDK as well as minimal ADB. When i try to flash TWRP 3.00.2 I can not do it (the message says something about not able to access or i think remote command not allowed. So since I cannot flash TWRP i am unable to put SU on the phone and root it. I hope someone more experienced and skillfull in Android world can point me in the right direction and help me. Thank you
Download mininal adb fastboot and then try to flash twrp via fastboot.
That error occurs because your adb doesn't have full permissions.
Minimal adb will solve this.

Downloaded minimal adb fastboot and installed it. Tried the procedure. Copied TWRP recovery to the minimal folder. Shift right clicked in the folder of minimal and opened command window. Adb rebooted to bootloader. Phone shows it is unlocked. The device is seen in fastboot window but flashing recovery doesn't work (same message) I am really confused. How do I give adb full permissions ?
Any way thanks in advance.
Did you activate usb debugging ?

Try reinstalling drivers with universal adb.
Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?
Type fastboot devices and let me know the output.

The drivers were reinstalled. My bootloader shows unlocked on bootloader (bottom of fastboot screen). Fastboot devices does nothing. Adb devices shows my phone serial number correctly (I have it written down). But then when i try to flash recovery it is unsuccessfull. It says "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"

Weird... i can't think of anything else myself that hasn't been said. Perhaps... redownloading twrp? Maybe the image is corrupted by something... ot's a long shot because ot should flash everytging that comes its way. But it's the only thing you hven't tried.

I had this same problem. Have you tried "fastboot -w" before attempting to flash twrp?
Try android studio tools, outdated ADB/fastboot was an issue when I was on the pixel xl due to the partitions

Try changing USB port or use a different USB cable. The is known to solve the issue.
Also once you are in fastbot, reboot again into fastboot using "fastboot reboot bootloader"
And the flash TWRP image
If you still get the error, install Fastboot drivers from Essential website.

Use the adb/fastboot from the drivers from essential. It sets environment variable in Windows. Uninstall any other adb/fastboot, and check your environment path to make sure only essential bone is there.
You could easily brick your phone using the wrong adb/fastboot. Beware of dragons and such.
Did that, but somehow it didn't help. Tried a different computer, installed the essential drivers, and used the cable that came with the phone; everything went smoothly. Still don't know what the problem was, the first computer does not have any fastboot/adb in the path variable, after removing the essential drivers, but I suppose the problem's solved, for now. Thanks everyone!

Need some help with flashing Oreo B3

Hi.
I was having trouble when I try to follow the method on essential's site.
Here's what adb told me:
"opening 'ota_file.zip'...
connecting...
falling back to older sideload method...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."
Did some research on google. But sadly still don't know how this happened. Plz, help me, if you know what to do. thx
I suggest trying to flash the stock dump OB3 from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/essential-phone/development/stock-7-1-1-nmj20d-t3701681
I assume you already unlocked the bootloader.
You will need to unlock critical as well, but if you got ADB up and running already, should be easy.
Download and unzip the OB3 dump.
Unzip and place all files where fasboot is placed, should be platform-tools.
fastboot flashing unlock_critical (will wipe entire phone)
Then run the flash-all.bat in terminal (you can just drag and drop the flash-all file into terminal)
If successful, run fastboot -w to format data just for good measure.
If unsuccessful, open the flash-all in a text editor and copy paste the commands one at a time in terminal, enter after each one.
If not able to get either to work, DO NOT REBOOT. ask for more help.

Normally you should be able to adb sideload with a locked bootloader and the original recovery.
Try another computer or USB-C cable, and yes USB-C cable quality does make a big difference.
Double check these
1. Bad drivers (i.e dont use Leca driver, but Google usb driver)
2. Bad USB Cable
3. Too outdated adb version
4. Bad flashable zip download

It only works with fastboot factory images. These are recovery flashable zip as far as I know.
Also, you need unlocked bootloader to flash factory images and in case you are already unlocked, you could just push the zip into your phone and use twrp to flash it.

You could try booting your phone with usb debugging enabled and see if the command "adb push file.zip /sdcard/Download"
If this command fail aswell, it's probably driver related or cable. I don't think an invalid zip would make it fail

Doesn't matter. If you use the fastboot method, you need to unlock the bootloader AND unlock critical, which will wipe user data anyway, unless you had already done that previously. You can try the sideload method with stock recovery, but if you're not able to get that to work, you don't have a choice but to unlock and try the fastboot method.
I'm trying to install Beta 3 (I'm coming from stock NMJ51B), but the sideload will end at 94% and I get the Message:
Unable to open sysfs usb node (no such file or directory) Trying configfs failed to set driver control: No such device
Install from ADB complete
The PH-1 will then boot just fine and everything seems to work.
Any ideas?
power-on+volume-up ..bootloader running?
Was problem solved?,I wanted looking for solved of same things.Just I found it's lost my process of running fastboot.

If you like the rom without Google, then there're only two right now far I know: LineageOS and crDroid
To install LineageOS, you don't need TWRP, because LineageOS has its own recovery image, you must follow exactly their instruction for installation.
Here's the link for LineageOS: https://download.lineageos.org/mata
To install crDroid, you need TWRP, at first, you must go back to Jan stock since Feb stock rom has issue with using TWRP.
Also, you need special TWRP image patched that gives you touch otherwise you need USB dongle with mouse to use TWRP. I can give you that TWRP if you need.
Here's the link for crDroid: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...microg-volte-wireguard-crdroid-v6-13.4129739/
Good luck!

Ok, here's the steps that I do to install custom rom (not LineageOS):
1. Make sure Essential driver is installed in computer
2. Make sure to use the latest adb package from Essential (or from Android)
3. Make sure your phone is unlocked boot loader
4. Make sure your phone is in Jan stock rom
5. Make sure to turn off finger print log in and password

Download original Jan stock rom
- Unzip it to your computer
- Put phone in boot loader
- From command prompt, goto unzip folder and run flashall.bat
- Sit back and let the batch file running installation process
- When it's done, just reboot, and you'll be back to Jan stock

Make sure your path of adb is working, or quick solution is to copy these 4 files into your unzip folder and run flashall.bat
You can find these 4 files in your adb folder: adb.exe, AdbWinApi.dll, AdbWinUsbApi.dll, fastboot.exe

Did you enable USB debugging in Developer options?

yes dev options on , usb debug on
- Un plug USB cable from phone
- Goto Setting - About phone - Build number, tap on Build number (don't remember how many, maybe 5 or 7 times) until Developer Options is enable
- Goto System - Developer Options and turn on Android debugging (or USB debugging...I forgot)
- Connect USB cable back to phone, you will see a message popup asking to allow, enable it.
- Now from command prompt, in that unzip folder (assume you already have those 4 files copied), type: adb reboot bootloader
- Let see if your phone can goto bootloader
- If it does, continue to issue command flashall

Ok, I'm not sure it's the cable or the adb path.
If you're positive about adb path, then your cable is bad.
You can try another version of adb (version 1.4.3)

fastboot: error: cannot load 'nvdef': No such file or directory and more , but my phone reboots seems to be adb/driver issue

Did you copy those 4 files to unzip rom folder?
If you did, then you can run fastboot or adb within that folder.
