hey so, as the title says, i'm currently unable to install the recovery on my phone and have been trying for the past 3 hours or so now :/
Phone's unlocked, adb and fastboot are working ecc.
but whenever i try to flash the TWRP recovery or even boot it i get the FAILED (remote: 'size too large') error and idk what to do about it.
It worked weirdly with the nikel recovery but even then it installed badly and wouldnt let me flash mido roms for whatever reason and yes im 100% sure my phone is a 4x with a snapdragon.
Thanks to anyone that replies and tries to help

Describe how are you trying to flash the file, like using cmd window or mi flash tool or by already rooted phone?

So, downloaded the ADB and Fastboot tools, downloaded TWRP, went to the CMD and changed the directory to the adb.
From here i just used the adb reboot bootloader command to get into the fastboot.
Next i used the fastboot flash recovery x.img command to try to flash it but didnt work simply giving me a "FAILED (remote: 'size too large')" on the last part.
I even tried the fastboot boot x.img command.
Also yes when i said flashboot prieviously i meant fastboot mb

Which rom are you using currently? If it is android nougat based then read below, if higher the commands are a bit different I guess,
That is the same way i did it but it might be cause you are flashing wrong recovery.
Try this one :-
https://dl.twrp.me/mido/twrp-3.3.1-0-mido.img
Let me know if it works.

Try using mi flash tool with the same image file, you will find the tool on their official website.

Hello, I am student at my university studying Computer Science. I work in tech support at my school. This is the first time I have modified the android os. The community on xda has been really helpful and knowledgeable. I have created an account to see if anyone else has done the same thing I have. Anyway read below for my post.
I am trying to change the recovery on my phone to twrp. Let me start out by saying I rooted my phone before on build number 130 (KIW-L24,Android 5.1,EMUI 3.1,C567B130,United States, Channel-Others). I used the instructions here and it worked http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/development/root-kiw-l24-usa-kiwi-t3305190.
I then decided to update through the huawei updater to build number 151 (KIW-L24, Android 5.1, EMUI 3.1, C567B151, United States, Channel-Others). It eventually got to a black EMUI menu with installing 0%. So I powered it off even though it warned against it. So my phone was bricked so I followed instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-5x/help/bricked-honor-5x-t3328308 and my phone worked again.
Okay so now I want to root my phone so I follow the instructions for rooting. Problem is that I can not replace the EMUI recovery with twrp recovery. I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update.
I use these commands on adb with the twrp_kiwi.img in my adb folder(named .android by default)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
fastboot reboot
adb reboot recovery
So I wanted to see if I could put the old firmware back so I followed the instructions for bricked device. But the fastboot commands don't seem to do anything with the .img files.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot reboot
Yea so I am lost as to why fastboot commands arent working as it says finished and any advice would be appreciated.
Also is it possible to format the phone similar to a pc and use adb to flash the firmware back on.
I want to eventually backup my phone and put cyanogenmod on it.
... I am guessing that it may be because 151 is a security update

If your bootloader is unlocked, you should be able to flash what you want.
Have you tried reinstalling the Android device drivers on your PC?

And as you felt need to mention "I am student at my university studying Computer Science. I work in tech support at my school.", you should know first University mission is to teach you to search and exercise by yourself, to do things step by step and to guess by yourself what was wrong. ^^
Just one tip and advice : read up your own post carefully and you should find out what you've done wrong...

TWRP works just fine on B151
plug in usb / Shut down the phone
boot to the bootloader (power + vol down)
open command prompt on PC
fastboot flash recovery twrp_kiwi.img
hold volume up + volume down + power till you see TWRP (about 14 seconds)
In TWRP choose reboot / recovery
Say yes to Root
recovery will reload / flash your rom
If you want to return to Stock use this >> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995315154

My device Mi3 is running on CyanogenMod 13 and latest TWRP recovery. Unable to install weekly updates of CyanogenMod. Recently, got an update cm-13.0-20160516-NIGHTLY when i tried to install that there is an dialog box of "Apply Update" You are about to update bla bla bla... Note: This feature requires a compatible Recovery or updates will need to be installed manually. I didn't get what it means and i thought TWRP is a valid recovery so proceeded from that. After few minutes it rebooted the device top recovery and nothing happened from that. So i rebooted the system again searched over Internet about the issue haven't found any perfect solution (within what i found) but i tried by copying the update file to /sdcard (i mean root directory) and tried to install the update manually by using TWRP recovery but it is showing an error "Updater process ended with ERROR: 7 Error installing zip file '/sdcard/cm-13.0-20160516-NIGHTLY-cancro.zip' Updating partition details......done"
Can you help me out how to install the update and also tell me what I've done wrong so that i will not do that again.
Thanks in advance.
Dude, the answer to your question is in the first post of CM13 FAQ.

Hi @diongdyh
sorry for late reply, please help me with a step that is mentioned in the link you've given.
"Run flash_all.bat (on windows) or flash_all.sh (on OS x and Linux - it's suggested to open it from a terminal in these systems)"
Does it mean to run in cmd or what. Please help me out. If you can please elaborate that step.

Just connect your device and double click on "flash_all.bat"(I'm assuming you to be on Windows) and it'll do the rest
Well I encountered the same problem a while ago.. I just flashed miui 8 through twrp.. and booted and again flashed latest cm13 and it worked.. No problems so far..

ok i'll do the same. I doubt whether the device needs to be in fastboot mode or normal system. If you can clear this i'll proceed because previously i tried the same but in fastboot and the device is recognized i checked by 'fastboot devices'.

i've done the same @diongdyh, after selecting run something went in a flash on the desktop screen and nothing happened on my device and its still in fastboot mode. i think booting to miui 8 and then installing cm13 will be a better option as suggested by @sidhg for me as i'm not getting exactly what to do
even I am having the same problem, I nothing happpens on clicking on flash all file.........

Okay so your bootloader is obviously unlocked already if you have twrp installed.
Why are you trying to use those commands again?
You just are not installing the ROMs correctly that's the problem. Follow the installation steps of the ROM you are trying to flash which will be found in the op of that ROM thread

You still didn't explain what exactly you did and what fails in twrp or what error you get or anything..
You already did the flashing unlock critical if you have twrp you don't need to keep doing it every time unless you relock your bootloader.
Start from the very start and tell us exactly step by step what you did.
How did you get miui if you didn't already do flashing unlock critical?

Hi Folks,
I have a Xiomi Note 10 (camellian), unlocked and has USB Debugging switched on.
No matter what I do, I can't install TWRP or Orangefox because it fails with "FAILED: Too Many Links"
I've followed so many guides on how to fix this and they all fail. I tried to flash the stock rom with Mi Flash and that failed too (Constant "Unhandled exception" error as it doesnt seem to want to install drivers and wont continue without them). I've manually updated the ADB drivers for the Note and that worked fine. Mi Pc Suite doesnt recognise my phone unless i "Update your phone before you connect" (The phone is fully updated)
Please, for the love of the baby jesus and the little donkey, tell me what I can do to try and figure out what the smeg is going wrong
EDIT:
Ive changed ports/cables, tried compatibilty on programs, reinstalled ADB drivers
trying "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" (for orange fox) throws up "FAILED: remote: size too large"

The Mi Flash logs are in the Miflash Log folder (post the last + or - 20/22ko
This twrp seems not to work (closed thread).
Try the command: fastboot boot twrp.img
The phone will reboot in TWRP after that go to Advanced > Flash Current TWRP
And what do you want to do with the TWRP, your device has a Mediatek soc and there is little or no development for Xiaomi with a Mediatek soc.

Download and extract to the root of the disk.C:/platform....
https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
rename the Twrp to twrp.img
Put it in the Platform tools folder
Execute the command from this folder
Since no custom is available for your phone I guess you want to update or downgrade for these 2 cases use Miflash not TWRP.

I'm not sure, but it looks like you need install usb/device drivers from MiFlash.
And after, try enable/allow usb debugging

This is intended behavior, if your phone is in fastboot mode it can only be detected by fastboot (try command 'fastboot devices'). Devices can only be detected by adb in recovery when sideload is enabled or in OS with debugging on.

What do you mean by regular method? This should work: 'fastboot boot twrp.img' and once it boots up go to Advanced and there is an option called 'flash current recovery'.

Were you successful? I am guessing you are trying to install a ROM, depending on the rom you could also use a different recovery.
