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

" unlock bootloader critical failed ", I don't know if it's necessary?
-I followed the instructions to install the rom via twrp but it still failed, always stuck in Fastboot even though I changed the slot a / b

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?

Root, How do adb fastboot commands work? need help

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...

That was just background information unrelated to my post. I am currently trying to see if I can put the old firmware back to see if it fixes the problem.

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
instructions are in the zip

will you solve this?

Ok, I'll explain the problem(s)
My mate 10 pro (BLA-L09) can boot in recovery (TWRP 3.2.1-0) and fastboot:
When I flash other recovery with the .img by recovery (like for example the stock recovery) give me error;
When I flash other recovery with the .img by fastboot (like for example the stock recovery) give me error;
When I flash ROM by .zip/UPDATE.APP give me error;
In fastboot mode I read "Phone Locked FRP unlock"
the phone has no ROM in it, wehn I boot it automatically put me to recovery;
So, My bootloader is locked and I can't unlock it beacause I can't boot the phone.
I just want to reinstall the stock ROM, have you any ideas?
thanks to all

If the FRP is unlocked, just unlock your bootloader again with your unlock code from huawei.
Or pay 4 euros and use dc unlocker.
I can't unlock bootloader 'cause dc unlocker can give me the code only when the smartphone is booted, and it hasn't a ROM mounted in..
Could you specify the error?

Should have used dc-unlocker to read the bootloader code first, then unlock manually.
Now you have two options; wait for the unlock code page to get back up or use FunkyHuawei to restore your phone.
Since you don't have your bootloader unlocked you can't flash images as the partitions are protected. This causes the "Command not allowed" errors.
How did you erase/delete/remove the ROM in the first place? Anything you did before the incident?
Try to boot to erecovery... (vol + on boot w/o usb cable plugged in) Load the rescue system image over wifi. Hope it works!
I said just unlock bootloader because obviously you must alredy have the code if you have TWRP installed, that means that at some point you had it unlocked and you should have a code.
Anyway, huawei unlock page is up, so you should be able to get the code again in case you lost it. Dcunlocker gives your the data needed like imei, product id (not sure about this one) and SN in the box.
I think dc unlocker can unbrick your device (you need like 15 credits) it uses a back door to flash and unbrick. then you can get the unlock code to unlock.
Another thng you can try is flashing the BLA-Recovery no check from hwota8 directrly from TWRP (flash image) transfer it to your device through mtp or adb push.

Unable to install TWRP on the 4x Mido

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

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 :-

Let me know if it works.

Rooting Infinix Hot 10 Help?

Hello, I've recently acquired this Infinix Hot 10 device, now I want to root it. I searched on Google and found some links that suggest I can (on getdroidtips) and some that suggest I can't (on newsvivs). I would share the links but I can't post links due to having a new account.
I want to know the opinions of the forum members here on these sites and whether anyone has this device and has successfully rooted it before. I also want to know if this will erase all my data. If you have any trusted rooting guides for this device please share them.
Thank you.
If you as 1st step could successfully unlock phone's bootloader, then as 2nd step you could install a Custom Recovery like TWRP suitable to the phone, then finally as 3rd step it should be possible to root phone's XOS 6.0 ( based on Android 10 ) by means of TWRP.

I can unlock the bootloader. But how do I install TWRP afterwards? Do I need a special build for the phone or is the process generic from there? If it's generic could you send me a guide?

It doesn't have a custom recovery. When I try to go to recovery manually (Vol UP + Power) it gives a black screen instantly on boot, then continues boot looping when I take my fingers off the buttons.
ADB and Fastbook fail to connect to the device in its various stages of bootlooping so I can't switch to fastboot mode.
SPFlash can't flash it, keeps giving errors. Either when it reboots during a flash attempt or it gives an authentication key error. Apparently I need an auth key to flash this device? Even though I'm using the original ROM.

As above mentioned TWRP must match phone's specs ( Android OS, etc.pp ). In case there isn't a pre-build one for your phone you can try to ask TWRP-developers to build it for you by means of TWRP Builder app.

This recovery does not boot on the A505FN. I've tried flashing through ODIN, didn't work, bricked the device until the AP image is reflashed. The app method also did not work, but it boots into the stock ROM fine if flashed through the app.

You have to flash vbmeta first, there's an unofficial TWRP on this forum that has it, I used that and then reflashed the official one and it booted
I have a A505FN. It gets into a boot-loop after flashing.
EDIT: Samsung introduced some "Security patch" that made it impossible to flash this TWRP. What I needed to do is use ODIN to downgrade to the old firmware (A505FNXXS9CVJ2, got it from here: https://samfrew.com/de/download/Galaxy__A50__/lisb/DBT/A505FNXXS9CVJ2/A505FNOXM9CVG2/) first. Then I could install vbmeta.img (which is in the lineage-OS zip https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/rom-13-0-unofficial-lineageos-20-for-galaxy-a50.4589679/) and after restarting into download mode again I could install this TWRP.

Don't just say "there's something here on this forum". Send the link!
So I got this phone as a gift and decided to load custom roms unto it. I upgraded to Android 11 before this. I followed your guide and unlocked bootloader etc but when I try flashing this recovery I am faced with "only official released binaries are allowed". I used samsung way back during the S2 days and enjoyed lot's of custom roms back then but for years I have been on Xiaomi phones and really do enjoy that more. Samsung really has lost it lol. Anyways can anyone help me out of this error?
