Internal storage appears as random characters in TWRP and rom, why is that?

Got a problem with my phone hanging on the TWRP startup screen (I was trying to load the latest lineageos and it went tits up!)
error is FAILED (remote: 'partition length get error') when I perform 'fastboot flash recovery'
I also tried 'fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk' and that writes successfully BUT when rebooting still gets stuck on TWRP screen
Any ideas?
Thanks!

did you wipe data with twrp? if yes do a factory reset using stock recovery.

yes , looks like I accidentally wiped everything with twrp
I can't get into emui erecovery now for stock recovery....
I can get into 'FASTBOOT&RESCUE MODE' and tried to format cache and userdata in case that helped but this is the error
fastboot format cache
FAILED (remote: 'Command not allowed')
fastboot: error: Command failed
(it shows Phone unlocked and FRP unlock)
Any more ideas gratefully received thanks!

1: u can break the loop by clicking (volume up + volume down + power button)
ignore the error and select reboot system

2: or u can flash the official emui recovery by (fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk RECOVERY.img)

official recovery for emui 9 : i cant post outside links before 10 posts ...

re 1 tried all sorts of methods including letting the phone battery completely run out.....none work......dunno if it is because I can't actually power off the phone
re 2 I've tried flashing haky's recovery here https://sourceforge.net/projects/figo/files/stock_images/9.1_stock_rec.img/ and that doesn't work either

Edit: I can get the phone to do this but it never goes into erecovery

problem flashing

Hello,
I'm trying to install TWRP, and when I reboot into bootloader, I get this screen (phone is connected to PC with cable, ignore the message):

Then, I try to flash the TWRP image, but I get this error:

$ fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.4.0.0-v1-hi6250-emui9.img 
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (13308 KB)...
OKAY [  0.379s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.385s

Is this because of FRP? I've been searching how to bypass/disable it, but haven't found any working method yet.
What do I need to do?

unlock your bootloader device first.

Hi I've found a couple of issues with the recovery:
- Backing up the partition "Data (excl storage)" results in a "createTarFork() process ended with ERROR: 255" error
- Updating official FIGO lineage 16 firmware with inbuilt updater from 2020-09-25 to 2020-10-02 made my device not bootable anymore, had to restore it back to EMUI firmware :/ Is it because something with erasing data is broken?
- The "install image" button doesn't allow you to flash recovery_ramdisk, so we can't update TWRP via TWRP.
- In "Wipe" there's three partitions all named "Storage", I'm assuming they have some other real name

Cheers for your work haky it's really appreciated! Without your and I_am_Gelber's endless hours put developing for this phone it would be garbage in my opinion, no one here taking it for granted! Also would it possible for this twrp to become official?

By the way MTP works perfect for me
