Many of the newer Onyx devices have had their bootloader "chopped down" with less functionality.
That means no "fastboot flash" or "fastboot boot".

An update may be "incremental" (relying on the exact state of some partitions) or "full" (just slam in the new data irrespective of what was there).
Even a full update never contains all the partitions and might or might not include a boot or recovery image.
