I'm following Fastboot Install Method (No Root Required) from TWRP for Huawei Nexus 6P and getting following:

mbp:~ alexus$ fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.7.2-angler.img 
target reported max download size of 494927872 bytes
sending 'recovery' (5 KB)...
OKAY [  0.037s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: image is not a boot image)
finished. total time: 0.059s
mbp:~ alexus$

please advise.

The recovery image for angler is a lot bigger than 5KB. Invalid download.

Is there an official place to check for md5 checksum?

Aahh had the same issue. Used wget to fetch the image from the website. Apparently it just downloads the HTML file instead of the image itself.

@104012 yes, we only retrieve the real image providing a http referrer header wget --referer "https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/twrp-3.0.2-0-hammerhead.img" https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/twrp-3.0.2-0-hammerhead.img.

@a1exus there are md5sums https://dl.twrp.me/hammerhead/twrp-3.0.2-0-hammerhead.img.md5 etc.
