Max download size error Fastboot system.img

Is there another way to flash system.img from Fastboot?
I'm trying to flash system.img onto my VZW X, extracted from VZW_XT1060_4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-MX-17-57-X-1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip using fastboot. I'm getting the following output:

I rooted my phone using RockMyMoto. It has the latest OTA.
What's going on? Phone doesn't boot and I'm trying to avoid using RSD and wiping it.

Ah very nice. Thank you. I got the idea to try RSD, but edit the XML to exclude all the other steps besides flash system.img. If that doesn't work I will try this new fastboot. Wish I had been a little more patient

Looks like flashing via RSD but editing the XML to remove all the other flash lines worked. Thanks!

thats because rsd uses the right fastboot to run its commands fyi. from my experience at least. you really need the motofastboot because for vzw phones and maybe others, there are issues with the sdk fastboot file.

Help! All MAC OS users! $ Reward

My unlocked boot loader atrix hd is like a blank paper. I downloaded a Rom and flashed it but didn't like it and so I : went to cwm recovery, did the factory reset wipe (cache, data,etc. and dalvik cache deleted it, and went to restore back up but it wasn't there when I thought it was there for sure but turns out it wasn't. So now my phone is like a blank paper and whenever I try to move around in the recovery it says all these E: can't mount /cache/recovery/ log or last_log and much more of these commands. Flashing a Rom can be done but won't boot no matter what Rom.
And I want to restore the fastboot to stock again and followed the instructions from skeevydude post and I would,get on terminal all these failed or permission denied commands.
Plead help me! Whoever helps me and gets my atrix hd will get a $ reward.

First off, if you don't have the snapdragon/Motorola fastboot, you'll need that (just replace the current one). And do you have all the adb/fastboot stuff setup correctly?

Did you delete the original fastboot? And did you rename the snapdragon fastboot to just "fastboot" instead of "mfastboot" or whatever it originally was?

Instead of using fastboot in your command use whatever you named the snapdragon fastboot file. Also your battery is low charge your phone for an hour or two.

I tried that too by doing the command

And I,would get permission denied on my Mac and I'm using the sudo administrator commands

Not sure if this could help but I would try RSDLite. This have helped me a lot.

Rename the "moto-fastboot" to just "fastboot" since you don't need or have the original one, just to make things easy.

That's definitely a problem with the snapdragon fastboot, as the original fastboot tries to send the entire file, and the snapdragon fastboot breaks it up into 30275kb or something similar amount. I'm not exactly sure why this is. I'll have to do a little research.
By the way, I'd recommend the Tapatalk app because it lets you multi-quote so you don't have to reply twice with the same message.
Just to be safe, delete your current fastboot binary and re-download it from here (obviously use the Mac version) in case you got a bad download last time and try again.
Another thought (again, not an expert with Mac, it's just similar to Linux if I understand correctly): Just to make things easier on yourself, could you just put the binary into a central folder (on Windows, it's C:\Windows\) that allows you to execute it from anywhere, so you could just pop open a terminal in the SBF's folder and do "fastboot flash system system.img" instead of "fastboot flash system /Users/blah/blah/blah/sbf/system.img"?
EDIT: Yep, if you're unsure how, just do this. You could make a folder in your user directory called something like ".android" (the . to make it hidden) and put all your adb/fastboot stuff in there.

[Q] Auto-update (4.4.2- 11.4.1.27) -> black screen

Hello, (I apologize for my bad english)
Since one week with the update 4.4.2-11.4.1.27 I've got a problem with "black screen". Indeed I need to get lucky with the power button to wake up the screen.
I try lots of things but it was hard to install a new rom without seeing the recovery.
So I tried to use fastboot instead of the recovery.
In first, I tried this :
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot update [CROMi-X 7.0.3][11.4.1.17].zip
but it doesn't work, I had this message :
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt
Then, I tried this :
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash boot boot.img
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash staging blob
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash system UL-K00C-WW-11.4.1.17-user.zip
And it failed again :'( with this error text :

Softbrick, need to retrieve pictures, xt890 AP Fastboot Secure

Hi all,
My RAZR i softbricked almost a year ago. I am determined that I will get my holidays pictures from it... please help me do so!
It gets stuck on the intel page when booting normally, I can access fastboot however I think the phone must be locked. In AP fastboot the options are:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory
BP Tools
Switch Console
Power Off
Recovery will ocassionally take me to the sick looking droid.
When trying through RSD Lite I get stuck at 3/10 "boot_signed", and the phone says "preflash validation failed". I think this may be because the fastboot is locked?
When running through this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390573 unbrick.bat can't find libusb0.dll (possibly a windows 10 issue?).
I can't actually remember what version of Android I was running, however I'm pretty sure it was JB.
If anyone can advise as to what I should try next, or whether I can't recover my pictures at all, then please do get in touch.
Greg

First u can try to flash those images manually. The fastboot command then will say a bit more than just that error.
So flash the system and boot image manually.
We can't unlock the bootloader because u will lose all data from the phone.

Nope, "root" is only a system thingy and is most commonly used in Android when u can access system files while u are on a running system.
In this case the command "boot" is restricted in the bootloader. No way to enable that one for us. U need to use "flash"

Are u using the "fastboot" executable from the Android sdk? I recommend in this case to use the "mFastboot" executable.
The mfastboot executable in the RSD-Lite package should work just fine.
Just make sure u are using the latest JB (4.1.2) rsd-lite package.

Nope, "root" is only a system thingy and is most commonly used in Android when u can access system files while u are on a running system.
In this case the command "boot" is restricted in the bootloader. No way to enable that one for us. U need to use "flash"

Thank you so much for your continued help - I'm afraid I'm no further ahead. I have tried the following:

Does this suggest I am using the wrong image file? CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-29_S7_USASMIJBRTGB.xml
I can't see an alternative for a UK phone on 4.1.2
Maybe I could just fly you to my house and you can fix it for me If there is a tutorial that I should be following that I have missed, then please do let me know.
Many thanks again,
Greg

We can't get around that. The error message indicates that the wrong system or other images are flashed into the device. Sry, I have no clue on how to restore that.

Kitkat?
Could it be that failed OTA updates won't allow downgrades?
I have a xt890 that is bootlooping with the very same errors while trying to fastboot flash 4.1.2 en.GB.
I'm coming to the conclusion that the OTA Update partially succeeded and its no longer accepting JB firmware...

Error when try to flash stock RUU

Hello everyone,
some months ago i rooted my HTC One (M7) and all works great, but now my camera didn't work. Front camera work sometimes, but rear behave like didn't exist. So i want now to go back to stock ROM, maybe it can help, if not i want to send phone to service.
So far i did this:
- change CID to stock
- lock bootloader
- change bootloader flag (RELOCKED to LOCKED)
and now i must flash stock RUU, but when i try to do this CMD send me error.
I download this RUU (I can't paste link): PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip and i type commands:
Code:
adb reboot-bootloader
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
And after i do this CMD show me this:
Code:
target reported max download size of 1514139648 bytes

You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash the ruu (explained at post #1 of the ruu collection thread). Also relocking the bootloader is not required to flash a RUU when s-off (I'm assuming your phone is S-OFF since you were able to change your cid), also explained in at post #1 of the ruu thread. You can download htc_fastboot.exe from androidfilehost.com

I downloaded fastboot for HTC, but maybe it wasn't correct. I try find some fine fastboot and then I write here. Thanks a lot!
