failed (remote: partition length get error) - after update mate 9 to Oreo Beta

Hi my friends
I update my mate 9 to Oreo beta. its cool.
now I want install TWRP Recovery, but in installation through fastboot, I faced with this error:
failed (remote: partition length get error)
please help me. I cannot install recovery.
thanks

where did you get the Oreo beta?

I believe the beta can be downloaded through their web site as a limited tester. My understanding of flashing recovery onto the new Android build is that you'll need a newest version of twrp to work for oreo. Most the time the new updates will mess around with the internal storage space.

The recovery partitions are different in Android O. There is no working TWRP yet.
If you want to downgrade, however, there will be a solution soon.

Here is the solution (forwad)
This is TWRP to Mate 9/Android O, brought to you by FunkyHuawei. This will also work for the Mate 10, Mate 10 Pro, Mate 10 Porsche and other EMUI 8 devices.
It´s just a preliminary build so I can´t promise anything/everything will work! Keep that in mind. I´m not responsible if you brick your device.
DOWNLOAD LINK:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B45NCsO2AL_1NEh2aDFLM3JlYkU
It works on the Android O build here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/FunkyHuawei...id_o_beta_for/
and the official European beta.
To install:
First, have Android O running. Unlock the bootloader. Download the twrp image.
Then, run in fastboot mode:
fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrp_android_o_mate9_a1.img
Then, reboot holding volume up, and you´ve got TWRP!
Note: With the Android O update, it is no longer possible to flash the recovery2 partition. Furthermore, the names of the partitions have changed. Please keep that in mind, and don´t mess around too much with TWRP, to be sure you don´t brick your system!

great, that worked well. now - with the changed partition table, would you recommend rooting the phone with either of these methods: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-9/how-to/guide-how-to-root-mate-9-decrypt-data-t3569986 ?

Dear friend, i have same issue, kindly tell me how to change partition table?

Hi, I also have Mate 9 L09 and have exact same error message:
fastboot flash recovery twrpo.img

For anyone else with same issue.
Since Oreo: Partition names have changed.
Use this command: fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img

I downloaded that special TWRP recovery image, but still get the same message. Does not work for me, any new solution available?

You need to flash to recovery_ramdisk. Fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk twrpo.img

Hi there , so if we want to flash Oreo through fastboot , what could be the commands lines please ?
as ie : fastboot flash boot boot.img or boot_ramdisk / boot_kernel boot.img ? and so on ..
the complete list of commands, would any 1 pass it over here please ? thanks a bunch

Well. You can flash most partitions. If you extract imgs from an oreo update.app you get the complete list (though some can't be flashed, like erecovery_*.img).
If you extract ramdisk (boot ramdisk) from update.app you flash it as fastboot flash ramdisk ramdisk.img. Kernel flashed as fastboot flash kernel kernel.img.
Recovery ramdisk as fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk recovery_ramdisk.img
To extract in Huawei Update Extractor you need to go to settings and disable checksum, it won't extract because something is up with erecovery_ramdis.img (it's misspelled too).

thank you for your reply @ ante0
Something else please .. as I tried and failed to update from MHA-L09-c432198 to Oreo I now get a bootloop error 14 iom3 , I saw on another thread some solutions, which dont work for me as I just cannot boot into twrp because of my battery not charging, even in download / recovery mode... battery three months old... and always working good
What I need to know is how can I either get my twrp saved system back through fastboot or else how can I flash - again only by fastboot mean - the stock firmware of my c432b198 or ...? as i need to flash boot, recovery, cust & system , how can I do so while there is no CUST img in extracted data (seems to be inside the data img itself).
Or else how can do A COMPLETE FORMAT of my internal storage ? the command , any1 i do, give either "not allowed" or partition lengh etc"
any way I can use fastboot to get out of this bootloop iom3 error 14 which don't let my battery charge a little ?
I'm a little much confused and do apology for that. Any help is desesperated needed .

So what is the boot image or the boot partition now called in OREO? I am trying to unbrick my Honor 9 and had Oreo L09-B321 on it before. The only thing I am missing is to successfully flash boot since I am also getting the "partition length error" when I use fastboot boot BOOT.img.

I think ramdisk is the boot partition in oreo, so you have to use fastboot flash ramdisk RAMDISK.img.

My OnePlus 7 Pro is bricked.

My OnePlus 7 Pro keep booting into fastboot mode. Neither I can access recovery nor can start the phone. It's always comes back to recovery.
Please help me getting it done.
Bootloader is unlocked.

You haven't given enough info, tell us step by step how your "Bootloader is unlocked".
We would need to know if you did it properly, you probably need to go into the recovery and perform a "Full wipe". Unlocking the bootloader usually does that anyway.
The normal method is:
Enabled developer settings by pressing the version number in the about section 7 times and entering your pin
Copy the adb developer folder from the mounted OnePlus driver partition you usually get on your computer when attaching the phone, into a folder on your hard drive, and enable adb in developer settings.
In developer settings enable "OEM unlocking"
Reboot into fastboot mode
Open a command window (with admin privileges) in the folder you copied to your hard drive (In Windows, hold down shift and right click inside the folder, then click "Open Command Window..."
Run the command "fastboot oem unlock"
Accept the prompt shown on the phone
This will wipe the phone back to factory reset so ensure you have backed up your data, although you should be doing that before you even start.
Flash the appropriate TWRP recovery partition (which afaik isn't even available yet so I'm not sure why you would unlock the bootloader so soon to be honest
If you didn't perform those steps or performed them in the wrong order then you've done it wrong.
Performing a factory reset in the recovery partition may get it booting again but it's hard to know with the minimal information you've provided.
Although again, why are you unlocking the bootloader when there hasn't been a TWRP version released yet? You won't be able to flash anything, not even Magisk.

I've unlocked bootloader by command of OEM unlocking.
After than the unlock, I rebooted it's again And installed some Magisk file, which made it stuck at fastboot.
I can't access the Recovery nor can restart Phone.
All I can do is switched it off And get back into fastboot again after.

Yeah, you can't flash things with the default recovery (That's just made for flashing the default builds), that's most likely why. Magisk was made to be flashed with TWRP.
Did you use the test TWRP here? If so, then go to that thread for help.
If you can get into the OnePlus recovery you could maybe grab a build from here and flash the default rom back, then start again using the guide I showed you but, tbh, I would wait until a good TWRP build is established and Magisk is confirmed to be working.
That thread also looks like it has the default recovery image too so you can flash that back on the phone with :
fastboot flash recovery filename (Just put the recovery image into the same folder as your adb.exe and fastboot.exe
Then see if you can reboot into it and flash the stock rom back on from the same thread.

How can I get things done back, all I've is fastboot.
It's a New set, please help (

If you have fastboot, I've just told you how to get the default recovery back in above.
---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------
Reading that thread again, flashing recovery is not as simple as it used to be due to the A/B partition model used now, so you'll need to read the instructions shown for recovery. My guess is that you didn't read them properly and flashed the recovery to the wrong partition. If you have flashed that TWRP then you need to seek support in that thread.

It's not gonna work with me,
Even if I'll download the zip file it's only flashable with a Twrp or Stock recovery. As stock recovery is not working.

This will sound stupid, but I had similar issues with the pixel and it was due to drivers and the port. Tried from a different machine and worked. Do you have the luxury to do so ?

Man, I've flashed like tons of Custom ROMs and Twrp from the same machine everytime.
I used to be a Xioami Redmi Note 5 pro user, And I've flashed almost every ROMs And root and everything, and same with my Redmi Note 3.
I don't think the machine have some fault some how.
It was Just like I had unlocked the bootloader And just after I flashed some Magisk ISO file which got flashed completely, And then all I'm stucked with the Fastboot, everything Stopped working, And everytime I'm dragged info fastboot.
And also as I said, can't flash Twrp.

Since you are familiar with custom rom,unlocked bootloader etc you should had known already that you must NOT flash any kind Magisk staff without having proper and functional twrp.
Even if it flashed successful that doesn't mean will work after reboot and normal restart.
That why you've brick your device.
And on the other hand with A/B partition things has changed dramatically evolving all custom made staff and how they works.
Oneplus device not work the same way as Xiaomi you've described.

Doesn't work yet, don't think it will for a while because fastboot has changed apparently.
The guy who makes the OP7 port has it baked in, but it's not encrypted

Can you elaborate on this? The part about being careful with modules? I got magisk working, and I'm using 2 modules, YT Vanced and Google Dialer framework.
When should I be careful? When there is a new update for the A10 beta? Or just on how many modules you install, or which ones?
Thanks

Meaning if u go into a bootloop u r pretty much screwed without a twrp, there is no way to remove the module.

Just be smart. Use stuff that doesn't fundementally alter things (framework mods, etc.). FDE is updated, Vanced works, stuff like call recorder, fonts etc. should be fine. I'd avoid audio mods (directories might have changed idk) and things like auto brightness fix (framework mods).

Ok thanks. So there's no way to possibly root the new ROM at the moment?

Updating from rooted OOS Pie, flash magisk through manager to inactive slot before reboot after OTA finished. Worked for me.
Of course I don't have any recovery at all so we will see how that goes three days from now when I install something crazy

I just flashed the OOS Android 10 beta ROM via the system upgrade tool (didn't work via TWRP) so now I'm unrooted. ROM works fine, but I'm having trouble re-rooting. I'm trying to boot the TWRP img via fastboot and keep getting the same error:
Code:
c:\adb>fastboot boot twrp.img
Sending 'boot.img' (28980 KB) OKAY [ 0.640s]
Booting FAILED (remote: 'unknown command')
fastboot: error: Command failed
I'm unable to boot into TWRP and tried different versions of the img file, all which give me the same error. How can I fix this?

I fixed this on the op6 by doing this:
Note: On Windows systems, thanks to a bug in fastboot, you must first swap to slot a with fastboot set_active a, then specify slot a when flashing images, e.g. fastboot flash boot_a <recovery_filename>.img
(from lineageos install site)
however after this was a success i'm now stuck on the 1+ fastboot splash screen and it never actually goes to recovery. Hopefully you've figured it out by now but I came across your post a few times while I was looking for the solution myself

So, i bumped into this the other day, what i did was, flash the full Android 10 fastboot rom using the op6 aio tool, then, using fastboot I flashed twrp the one from mauronofrio, then from twrp without wiping anything, I flashed the stock boot.img, then the twrp installer again from mauronofrio and voila, twrp working, I also flashed magisk after the first boot, this is all in the fool proof guide in the guides subforum

any update on this? just updated to OOS 10.3.2 and cant boot into twrp anymore. All I want is to have twrp...any way to roll back to android 9?

Question [RESOLVED] Cannot flash recovery - Partition/Volume full

So, I upgraded from MIUI 13 Stable to MIUI 14 Weekly today (clean flash via fastboot). What I hadn't realized is that my TWRP was still on A12, so TWRP couldn't read internal storage.
But when I tried to flash the A13 TWRP via Fastboot, I get this error:
Code:
Warning: skip copying recovery image avb footer (recovery partition size: 104857600, recovery image size: 201326592).
Sending 'recovery' (196608 KB) OKAY [ 6.370s]
Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'Error flashing partition : Volume Full')
fastboot: error: Command failed
So, somehow, my recovery partition is way too small (or it is just full? But I already erased the old TWRP, so currently I have no recovery)
And the only way I can boot into TWRP is to use the fastboot boot command to temporarily boot into it.
Is there a way to deal with this without doing a wipe?
EDIT: My dumbass was trying to flash the Boot version of TWRP instead of the Rec version

TWRP
BOOT VERSION
Installation:
Phone in fastboot mode
Cmd:
fastboot boot twrp.img
Power shell
./fastboot boot twrp.img
then in Twrp go to Advanced -> flash current TWRP.

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think the issue is related to fastboot since I can't flash the image in TWRP either.

Btw the error message I get after trying to 'flash current TWRP' is this:
Code:
cd /tmp/abrec/ && /system//bin/magiskboot repack -n /dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/recovey_a /tmp/abrec/rec_a.img process ended with ERROR: 1
Error repacking image.

And if I try to flash it via 'Install', I get:

Installing Twrp and rooting are two different things.
No need for Twrp to root.
Is it weekly stock rom or Xiaomi Eu rom?

I am such a moron lmao. I was trying to flash the Boot version of TWRP instead of the Rec version... Just flashed the Rec version and it works now. You made me check back on the TWRP thread, so thanks I guess ahah
