[Q] Fastboot flash recovery image size exceeded partition limits error - Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE

Hello,
I'm trying to install 4.4.2 Rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2607249 by arrrghhh.
when I try to install twrp I get the following error:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot flash recover
y openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.4-hammerhead.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes
sending 'recovery' (13272 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.997s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Image size exeeded partition limits
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 1.238s
Also the green android with the open belly appears and I stopped it by holding powerbutton, and now it says Fastboot reason: Flash failure in the screen.
I tried installing goomanager and install twrp from there, but it didn't seem to work.
Please advice how to get the twrp to install correctly so I can flash the rom.
Thanks,
Stani

Why are you trying to install TWRP for the hammerhead (Nexus5)[email protected]??
That could cause SERIOUS damage. Please install a recovery for your device.
If you want to use GooManager, you need to be rooted. Regardless, you need to have your bootloader unlocked to install any custom recovery.

didn't find one
Wow,
I must have miss downloaded it, browsing threads...
Can you give a link to one that is for photon Q ?
The bootloader is unlocked, but I couldn't install superSU yet.
To be honest I'm kinda lost reading all those different threads.
At the same time I want to try your 4.4.2 )
Thanks,

What's your issue?
The thread you are jacking, the OP originally tried flashing a recovery for the hammerhead (n5).
Is that your problem to? If so, just use a recovery posted in the Photon Q section. It'll work much better.

Not sure, your bootloader is unlock when you're trying?
and the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery [COLOR="Red"]recovery.img[/COLOR]
recovery.img has to be spell exactly as the recovery image file you have.

Siret to intercept,
I have an HTC VILLEC2 ( now i know this) few days ago I have tryed to install an custom rom. Because I didn't know that my device is an S3 processor i proceed with unlocking my boot loader. That went well. I have tryed to install CWM. That went also well, but I can't start it.
For te moment the phone runns în stock firmware pretty good but do not allowed me to make any Up Date frm HTC Updat server.
The question is, it is possibe to reinstall the original CWM. Also where can I download it?

just install flashify from the playstore and flash a recovery from there its very easy and i think a large number of people had the same problem anyhow thats how i fixed it after further reading in xda cheers,martin
I am actually a fan of rooting without changing the recovery
just use
fastboot boot YourRecovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and then flash e.g. latest supersu zip http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu you can even do this by adb sideload in CWM (for the recovery i used CWMrecovery)
i like this method because it will leave your recovery untouched and just root :highfive:
Why dont you flash just Philz Touch recovery? Then go to recovery option on Fastboot mode, once Philz has booted, touch REBOOT SYSTEM, then the recovery will tell you "Your device is not rooted or SU is missing, do you want to apply SU?" Then scroll to YES option and phone will reboot.. DONE, rooted! Now go to Play Store and grab SuperSU app.. Then you can flash to stock recovery....
All I had to do was change the usb port. Now everything is working fine.

[Q] Problem flashing CWM - MT7-L09

I've got a Mate7 (MT7-L09) that I bought used, from the look of it, it's been previously unlocked (which is good, since I've been unable to get an unlock code from Huawei for it), and is running the latest L09 factory rom (See attached screen shot, yep, says unlocked.)
Unfortunately, when I try to flash CWM, I get the following:
[email protected]:~/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools$ sudo ./fastboot flash recovery recovery_h60.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (9386 KB)...
OKAY [ 1.790s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image verification error)
finished. total time: 1.795s
Attempting to flash the stock recovery works just fine. I've downloaded a couple of different copies of CWM and they all fail with the same error. I've also tried under Windows with the same error.
I've also tried flashing the factory image from the SD card to return the phone to 'stock' before again trying to flash CWM, this also did not fix the problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is actually a recovery for the HAM7, not the Honor6/P7. Recovery_h60.img is just what the recovery was initially called (check the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/mat...custom-recovery-tool-mt7-l10-l10-mt7-t3022424). I got the CWM file from that thread.
I've also tried the updated version posted in the same thread (MT7_CWM_CN_EN.img) with the same results.

Finally, I have the latest adb/fastboot from the latest android SDK (for linux). As I mentioned, I also tried it under Windows with the included adb/fastboot with no differences.
Thanks for you help!

Purchased from Swappa, device works perfectly besides not being able to flash recovery.
I've been able to put the stock Huawei firmware on an SD card and flash that. (127)
I suppose you could be correct, maybe there's something wrong with the device, but that seems unlikely given that everything else works. One thing I'm thinking is that the phone is not actually unlocked (even though it says it is on the recovery screen). Wish I could get an unlock code for this thing to try re-locking and unlocking it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks, I've tried using the tools, and the code generated ends up not working on the Huawei web site. (See attached). Additionally, I've tried requesting the code from Huawei, and they say that unlocking is not available for the L09
From Huawei:
Huawei Dear user:
Hello, Thank you for using Huawei's products. MT7-L09 is currently not supported by the application unlock code if you want to brush Root or third-party systems, you can go online to search to see if there is a corresponding method. After the phone Root, though not affect the warranty, but if it is due to appear Root performance was a result of failure or system problems may affect your warranty love machine, specifically whether the warranty is to be detected by the service network, then you careful consideration!

Sounds like your boot loader is still locked or has be relocked again. That's the error you get when boot loader is locked and fast boot can't flash to the partition. Hence the "remote failure" error you're getting.

Regardless how long you think you may have "vroot" on tour device , there's no telling what type of malware will remain hidden on it. Or what its communicating back to where ever

Bricked my Honor 6 H60-L04 Indian variant while trying to install .zip files.

I recently upgraded my phone to EMUI 2.3 to EMUI 3.1 (Android lollipop 5.1), and installed CWM and rooted it. Two days ago I have downloaded cerebus app from Rom manager app and it installed by rebooting into recovery. Then a couple of minutes after rebooting the phone keep on crashing and shutting down randomly and when I tried to reboot it won't reboot but stuck for sometime at the Honor logo and since then I've tried every possible flashing and resetting I found here on XDA.
I still have access to fastboot and that is how I am able to flash ROM s and when I am trying to use the three button method it is stopping at 90 %. I couldn't even access it if my phone is not connected to my PC.
Now I've exhausted all the procedures in here and some other sites.
Somebody please suggest me something, help me.
Thank you.
Follow these steps to get it back to stock:
Download your phone's latest firmware and extract system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cust.img from UPDATE.APP using Huawei Update Extractor tool.
Boot into bootloader mode by switching off the phone then pressing only the Vol DOWN button, and connecting it to PC simultaneously.
Flash recovery first, using this command.
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Flash all other extracted files similarly firing these commands.
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cust cust.img
fastboot flash system system.img
After doing this put that very UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD.
Switch off your phone, and press Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously.
Your device will now get to the full stock firmware.
NOTE: If the manual flashing doesn't works or you get any errors, then first try only the force update method, i.e Putting the UPDATE.APP from which you extracted the files in dload folder of your external SDCARD and pressing Vol UP + Vol DOWN + Power button simultaneously after switching off your phone.
Thanks Brother.

I have the same problem with a H60-L12.
I noticed, that I get that error when I try to flash a boot.img from a different EMUI version pack.
In my case, the phone had EMUI3.0 and I can write any of the EMUI3.0 boot.img's, but cannot write a boot.img from an EMUI 3.1 or EMUI4.0 update.app

Thnks you for replying so quickly.
I'm using "Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C675B822_India_Flipkart India"
which is the latest stock firmware for Honor 6 H60-L04.
I have tried to force update with the thee button method and it worked (completed 100%)but unfortunately the phone is now in bootloop. This definitely made the phone a little better but once it got to the EMUI update screen its restarting again.
Thanks again man I though nobody would reply for this. its been so long since ive posted this.

Thank you for replying so quickly.
I'm using "Honor 6_Firmware_H60-L04_Android 6.0_EMUI 4.0_C675B822_India_Flipkart India"
which is the latest stock firmware for Honor 6 H60-L04.
I have tried to force update with the thee button method and it worked (completed 100%)but unfortunately the phone is now in bootloop. This definitely made the phone a little better but once it got to the EMUI update screen its restarting again.
Thanks again man I though nobody would reply for this. its been so long since ive posted this.

Yeah man, I've tried to flash recovery of the last Lollipop Rom and still the same message FAILED (status read failed (Too many links)).
Is there any other way that we can try to unbrick the device?
Thank you man.

When you flashed manually, did you used the same IMG files from the last installed ROM?
You can´t extract and flash IMG files of a LP ROM in a last installed MM ROM and vice versa.

Flashed magisk patched boot image - killed phone :(

I tried to root by flashing the patched boot image as describe in https://forum.xda-developers.com/ho...agisk-root-honor-view-10-mate-10-pro-t3749280. After that, the phone went into a bootloop.
When I get to the eRecovery screen, I tried 'Download latest version and recovery.' It got to 'getting package information from server' but then stopped with 'getting package info failed.'
I then tried 'Wipe data/factory reset' and it rebooted but nothing changed.
I don't know what else to try with this phone. None of the current versions of twrp would run on it. I've never bricked a device in years of rooting.

You need to restore your original ramdisk. Also, you have to patch your own ramdisk.img with Magisk Manager if you want to try rooting your device.
And btw, this is a development forum, not General or Q&A one. Read carefully before trying to mod this device, or you will end up with an expensive brick.
please contact me on hangouts i may be able to help [email protected]
You can download the appropriate images to restore your device below. These are for the US variant (BKL-L04)

I flashed the system.img and the recovery_ramdisk.img. It booted to the eRecovery screen again.
I tried 'Download latest version and recovery' and it failed with the 'getting package info failed' error again.
I then tried 'Wipe data/factory reset' and unlike before, it actually went through and said it was successfully completed. But then it rebooted twice and went back to the eRecovery screen again.
Any ideas on how to proceed from here?
ETA: When I pressed vol up/power after this it went to a screen which said 'software install failed' instead of the recovery screen I thougt it would go to. After the first time, pressing vol up/power goes to the EMUI screen with the options of 'Reboot' 'Wipe data/factory reset' and 'Wipe cache partition.'

I did 'fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img' and it still does a couple of reboots and then goes back to the EMUI screen with the recovery/reset/reboot/shutdown options.
In summary, this morning I did:
'fastboot flash system system.img' which resulted in 7 occurances of 'sending sparse system x/7 (xxxx KB)...' - which I have never seen before but all finished with OKAY
'fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img'
'fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img'
Is there something else I could do or redo in a particular order?

I've tried two factory resets after completing the above mentioned actions. Both times reported they were successful it still won't boot to the os, goes to the EMUI screen after several boot attempts.
Same problem here on a US BKL-L04 =(
I flashed a magisk modified ramdisk.img and have been in bootloop ever since.

Aside from fastboot happing very quickly (< 1 second even for 32 meg recovery_ramdisk.img) everything seems to work fine... The phone just no longer boots - it trys a few times - displaying the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen for quite a while and the non-animated blue honor screen briefly and then ends up in EMUI eRecovery.
Are these files still up to date? Or perhaps there were newer versions on my phone and that's why flashing the older ones isn't working?
Also worth noting, I'm flashing from a mac with Android sdk fastbook:
$ fastboot --version
fastboot version 0.0.1-4500957
Installed as /Users/sek/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/fastboot
Thanks for any help / tips!

Thanks for the info, that tool looks interesting. Where can I get the stock files for BKL-L04 US version Honor View 10?

It seems to be working properly, perhaps that helps me somehow?

Hi, what helped you there? I have a similar situation.
"Hi,
I need some advice on what can be done with my Honor View10 as it keeps gracing a bootloop followed by fasrboot mode.
Mine is a C675 variant and I was on 190 when I decided to unroot and update the device to 218. Once that was done, I flashed a patched recovery_ramdisk boot image that was patched using magisk to support it. Worked fine. Did a reboot and it got stuck in a bootloop.
I have tried flashing other patch.imgs too, due instance tried extracting recovery.img of the current version of rom, flashed it, no luck!
Tried flashing the patched version of that, still did not help.
I am on EMUI9, any help please?
Also can anyone help me with the link of one of the latest versions of C675 update please? "
This is what happened to me
