Reason for FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) Error
The single biggest reason for this error is the fact that you are flashing the file to an incorrect partition. And this issue seems to have stemmed out from the fact that now most devices come with dual A/B slot partition. So here is the thing. With the A/B partition, there is no recovery partition. Hence you cannot directly flash the TWRP Recovery to the recovery partition. Rather you will have to take the help of the boot partition. On the other hand, if your device is A-only, then it would still be having the recovery partition. As a result, you could directly flash the recovery to that partition rather than booting it. What really happens is users generally mix up both these instructions and hence ends up with the FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) error. Apart from that, some other reasons could be the fact that you are flashing ac custom binary file on a device with a locked bootloader. Likewise, using an older ADB and Fastboot tool is also known to throw in the said error. With that said, this guide will show you how to deal with these issues and hence fix the FAILED (remote: Command not allowed) error.
