Hi all.
I followed Wiki Install /e/OS on a OnePlus 8 Pro - “instantnoodlep” to install Recovery /e/OS community instantnoodlep download, but after installing I got a problem with this sample, a screenshot below. The instruction in the wiki doesn’t work?
Regain your privacy! Adopt /e/OS the deGoogled mobile OS and online services
@tom1995
The individual installation steps are described correctly!
Your failed /e/OS installation must have other causes.
Thanks for your answer.
Why do you think so? What reasons have led to an unsuccessful installation? Peregrisen please
How am I supposed to define reasons for an incorrect installation if I cannot recognize any detailed basic information? Speculating or making assumptions does not help. It’s up to you to provide basic data so that we can draw conclusions from a distance and provide further assistance.
Thanks for your answer. What more data do you need? I wrote the name of the phone model, the name recovery that I installed, indicated the problem in the screenshot.
I can tell you if it is useful to the commands that I completed:
$ adb reboot bootloader
$ fastboot devices
$ fastboot oem unlock
Now the bootloader looks like this
After the command below, I got the problem
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-IMG-e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep.zip
I am not at all surprised. The instructions were not followed …
First unzip the /e/OS Recovery file linked in the section marked
Later …
Flash a recovery image onto your device by typing
fastboot flash recovery recoveryfilename.img
… but you attempt to flash the IMG.xxx.zip. This is an archive file which should contain the recoveryfilename.img and the other secondary images required by the instructions.
Thank you very much for your answer.
I understand what you want to say, but it doesn’t work the same. You mean that I had to fulfill such commands:
$ fastboot devices
$ fastboot flash dtbo dtbo-e-2.7-u-20250111.....img
$ fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta-e-2.7-u-20250111.....img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-IMG-e-2.7.-u-20250111...img
I also tried to use the hint that is indicated in Wiki, but it also does not work.
`
Tip: In case the partition files are not available in the /e/OS recovery zip, users can try and download them from the LineageOS wiki install page specific to this device and OS build.

https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/instantnoodlep/20250214/dtbo.img
https://mirrorbits.lineageos.org/full/instantnoodlep/20250214/vbmeta.img
My steps:
$ fastboot flash dtbo dtbo.img
$ fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
and
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-IMG-e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep.zip
It would help me understand what you hope to communicate if you were to show the responses to your commands.
Ok, I’m ready to show the answers
@tom1995
Okay, basic data are:
Exactly. These files are included in recovery-e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep (unzip the *.zig file)
Install command sequences (bootloader is already unlocked):
fastboot flash dtbo dtbo-e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep.img
fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta-e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery-e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep.img
Now reboot into recovery to verify the installation
Use the menu into OP8PRO to navigate to and to select the Recovery option.
Note: If your recovery does not show the /e/OS Recovery logo, you accidentally booted into the wrong recovery. Please start at the top of this section!
If you’re in r/e/covery…
… tap Factory Reset then Format data / factory reset then Format cache partition and continue with the formatting process. This will remove encryption and delete all files stored in the internal storage.
Return to Recov/e/ry main menu.
adb -d sideload e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep.zipFinally: Reboot system now
Happy flashing 
@tom1995
If failures occur during installation, it is necessary for us helpers to understand them better:
Thank you very much for your detailed answer and the desire to help me.
As for the information, I use Linux to install /e/OS. Now I can’t remember which version of Oxypgen OS I had, maybe 11.
Android 13.
While I was waiting for an answer, I installed Lineageos as /e /OS could not be installed. The installation differs, because after installing Recovery I had to use two command (I was prompted in the Lineageos community) and only after that I was able to see Recovery.
$ fastboot set_active other
$ fastboot set_active other
$ fastboot reboot fastboot
As for the installation /e /os and the commands that you wrote (I have already tried them several times) it does not work. I don’t know why …
You have a command from the exact name recovery:
Yours
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep.img
and mine
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-IMG-e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep.zip
Pardon, but “I can’t remember” “maybe” is not a good basic requirement. Stock Android 13 (OxygenOS 13) is required for a secure installation.
@tom1995 now your OnePlus 8 Pro is running lineage-22.1?
Yes, I can use Lineageos but I can’t install /e /OS using the same commands, trying to understand what the reason is …
Maybe try to install TWRP?
Please tell me (I don’t remember) how to see or find out using the terminal which version (American or European) download for installation.
Do you not see that these are not the same. It is the same error I commented in my first post; you appear to be attempting to flash the archive named as “IMG-xxx.zip” – this is not the recovery.img.
It turned out! 
How you recommended, I made Unzip and launched the command:
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-e-2.7-u-20250111460550-community-instantnoodlep.img
Thank you very much for your help!
