So I recently repaired my old Oppo F1f which has LOS 14.1. I've installed magictricks long time ago (I think 2016), installed TWRP v3.0.2, and successfully flashed LOS 14.1. Now I want to upgrade to LOS 16. So I wiped, flashed TWRP v3.2.3 through recovery, and rebooted. And then my recovery was gone. Always black screen whenever I tried to get into recovery (Power + Vol Down). Read the forums, tried QFIL v2.0.0.5 AND QFIL v1.0.0.2, nothing. sahara server error something. Also tried using adb fastboot to flash recovery, another error, failed (write to device failed in send buffer() (unknown error)).
Any ideas?
tl;dr
oppo f1f on LOS 14.1, can't open recovery, QFIL and ADB won't work

I got cm 13 running on my d801 g2 the other day and I'm not a fan of it so I'm planning on flashing to cloudy g2 2.2 but now i am unable to boot into twrp. I enabled root, installed twrp and even enabled advanced reboot to boot directly into recovery but i keep getting secure booting error Cause: boot certification error which is what i was getting on stock android before getting cm13, i fixed the issue before with the kitkat auto rec app but ive read that auto rec can cause a hard brick if used in marshmallow. Trying to get into twrp through twrp, cm advanced reboot, hard key(power and vol down) recovery, flashify and adb reboot recovery command all cause the same error message. Any advice? I tried flashing twrp 3.0.0.4 and that put me into fastboot as does any other twrp version I've tried in flashify.
Hi everyone,
I had a big iussue with my phone (Motorola X10T39).
I installed LineageOS 14.1, and I recently updated it at the version 14.1-20180908.
All worked fine, but after the update I lost root privilege.
After that, I updated my TWRP recovery from the version 3.1.0-0 to the version 3.2.3-0, flashing the image(.img) in recovery mode.
The file I flashed was correct, and the phone still boot properly.
But when I turn on the phone in fastboot mode and try to select recovery I get error:
"Invalid boot image size! failed to validate recovery image Boot failed"
What can I do to fix it?
Thanks

Try these steps in order, stopping if a particular works.
- Ensure you installed the correct TWRP image for Peregrine, not for Falcon.
- Try entering fastboot mode manually, if you didn't already try to: Turn off the cell phone, then press and hold the Volume Down button for couple of seconds and while still holding Volume Down button press the Power button for a little bit and then release both buttons at the same time.
- If you updated TWRP with the Official TWRP app, try flashing it manually in fastboot mode: fastboot flash recovery TWRP image name, copied exactly. If you did flash it manually, try installing via the Official app.
- Make sure your downloads for both the Rom and TWRP image are not corrupted - re-download with md5 sum checks and re-flash with verification.
- Backup all your data (including on SD Card) and clean flash TWRP & the rom again (i.e., wipe System, cache, Dalvik cache and format/wipe Data - important).
- If issue persists, re-flash the previous version of the TWRP or rom, depending on which one is the culprit, and report to developer.

This thread is quite old (around 2 years old). But nevertheless, I am sharing my experience so that it may help someone facing similar problem. I have a Moto G 1st Gen Falcon which was running Lineage OS 14.1 based on Android 7.1.2. I was planning to update it to Android 10 based Unofficial Lineage OS. I downloaded latest TWRP zip to update existing TWRP. I rebooted into TWRP and flashed the zip. It installed perfectly. Then to check it attempted to reboot into recovery. But it instead went to fastboot mode with the error "Invalid boot image size! failed to validate recovery image Boot failed". I tried botting into recovery but was not working. I tried flashing through adb a different file but it was not working. Then what worked was booting into recovery using the command Fastboot boot recovery recovery.img. After that I was able to flash Android 10 and now everything is working perfectly.
I unlocked the bootloader through mi unlock tool. I flashed official twrp from their site, 3.3.1-0-violet.img but when I tried booting it into recovery, it got stuck at twrp logo. Then I learnt that it's necessary to wipe userdata using fastboot first so I did that. Then, when twrp started, it was unable to install/wipe/mount any partition. Tried installing magisk using sideload, did work but then device stopped booting.
Figured out a way on how to fix the mount issue, twrp working fine, but then I accidentally wiped /system. Now my device only opens in fastboot, even though I've tried installing, erasing and reinstalling that twrp recovery as well as a couple of others I found in pixel experience forums for my device.
I've got all the stuff needed to install pixel experience, fcrypto disabler, xiaomi latest firmware and the rom itself. Can anyone guide me on how to install it using fastboot?
Also whenever I try booting the recovery image straight from fastboot, it says that command failed, too many links.
I can't boot into recovery via vol up + power button, fastboot doesn't recognize command fastboot reboot recovery.
you need to install stock rom ,then flash twrp but newer unofficial twrp and orangefox twrp boots into recovery even if system partition is empty.
try installing unofficial twrp or orangefox.
orangefox is recommended .
Hey, so here is my problem.
A day later i installed Lineage OS 18.1 on my OnePlus 6.
All fine.. until i discovered i can't use my banking app.
So i read here and there that in order to use my banking apps i had to install magisk root etc..
I didn't have TWRP recovery so i decided to install it.
I downloaded the latest TWRP - ( Download twrp-3.6.0_11-0-enchilada.img )
Then i rebooted to Fastboot and typed " fastboot boot twrp-3.6.0_11-0-enchilada.img "
Then the device started to boot into TWRP but just stayed there.
Stayed on the " teamwin Recovery Project 3.6.0_11-0 " booting screen.
That's it... I thought that i somehow bricked it but it works normaly i just restarted it by holding the Power button.
I tried 2 times and same problem.
Can someone help?

Hey guys, just got a NOS One Vision to install LineageOS but when I try to fastboot flash recovery "LineageOS zip"
I always get an error because the recovery partition does not seem to exist.
Then I tried TWRP on external storage. TWRP can boot then install itself: boot recovery from volume down boot up,
but then TWRP always gives an error 255 on flashing lineageOS that way.
Please help!
Just so you know, the phone came with android 9. After my tries, I factory recovered it and it is now at 11
but I did nothing since.
Any ideas?
Update: After letting the Motorola recovery tool upgrade the phone to 11, installing LineageOS went as per instructions
