[HELP] Can't Flash recovery

Hi there,
I'm new to all this (first post) but I've just received a Zuk z1 which came with ZUI 0.9.096 installed.
I first followed the instructions on cyanogenmod dot org and later found the Tool All in One one here but I seem to run into the same problem on both.
When I attempt to flash TWRP recovery it fails, example error message:
target reported max download size of 1610612736 bytes
sending 'recovery' (10252 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.347s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Invalid data)
finished. total time: 0.470s
this is the error I get with TWRP 2.8.7 but the error is consistent no matter what version I use.
Anyone have any idea what I can do?
The phone isn't really usable to me without flashing as there doesn't seem to be an app store on it (at least not in English).
Thanks in Advance
Eric

Use dd command to flash recovery or use flashify app, of course first you need to have root rights but there's kingoroot to help although isn't a clean solution might do the trick for you.

Did you unlock the bootloader?

Hello,
I have the same problem,
I have the same Zui version, ZUI 0.9.096
I unlocked the bootloader, but I'm unable to flash TWRP
KingRoot is not working either, keeps failing

Bricked P9 Lite VNS-L31

Hey,
i had some issues with Nougat so i decided to wipe everything via Revolution Recovery and reinstall MM
but i got some errors..
via Revolution Recovery:
Error: 7
via Fastboot:
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse ´system´ 1/6 <451240 KB>...

Bootloader is unlocked
Please help me i have no idea what to do

You shoud NEVER do wipe via twrp on Nougat!
Now try to flash compatible Oeminfo first and have in dload folder a B160/B161 stock firmware
and make repair via 3 keys pressed.

Attach is a zip twrp flashable for VNS-L21 DS C432.
Probably works for L31 too...

I flashed the oeminfo.
Now i am stuck on the logoscreen and i cant even boot to recovery.
Edit:
Probably wrong oeminfo ver.
I fixed it but i cant find a flashable oeminfo vers. for VNS-L31.
Found a ver. for fastboot but when i try to flash it i get this error:
FAILED <remote: Command not allowed>

i tried different versions of oeminfo but when i flash it i get stuck on the logo screen.

Can someone upload a backupfile for me?

Solved! Bought an Oneplus 3t

no you cant install updates with twrp.. But with twrp 3.1.0, i guess you can.. but even though, try with stock recovery..

Phone soft bricked but twrp is not working and i can't flash via fastboot

Hi all I've been searching for help but can't find many similar cases to mine.
Here is the situation: after rooting my huawei p8 lite 2017 with magisk I installed xposed framework and it soft bricked my device (again for the third time this week)
I decided to restore a backup i had made, when i had magisk root but no xposed installed, via TWRP
The backup ends but the phone won't boot and TWRP doesn't want to boot either, it continues to boot between twrp and the stock rom without success.
In fastboot i can't find info of my phone to download the right software from a site to do dload but I do have an update.app file for my phone
When i flash boot.img it gives me:
C:\adb>fastboot flash boot BOOT.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'boot' (15524 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.389s]
writing 'boot'...
FAILED (remote: partition length get error)
finished. total time: 0.413s
My info is this:
bootloader: unlocked
recovery: not working
huawei eRecovery: tried but failed to boot after
fastboot: partly working
the android version is 8.0
device : PRA-LX1C432B209
I cannot use dload with the update.app from firmware finder
If anyone could help me i would be very thankfull.
