[Q] Fastboot : max download size : 100MB / unable to mount system - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello , hello , i have a probleme with my xt890 , so my probleme is that in the fastboot i have a message that says : max download size 100mb so i cant flash an sbf a stock rom so i decided to devide the file in 9 files of 90 mb with the software gsplit and i modified the line code in the xml file to flash withe the modified file how is .exe of corse it dosent work , but before i had make a bakcup and now when i enter with twrp to make restore it says failed because : enable to mount /system ! so now i am with a phone who dont have an os and cant flash :/ so please if any one have an idea just say it

Use the old cwm to format your system partition. After that reflash twrp if u like. Twrp has one annoying bug, and that is if you flash the system partition with fastboot, twrp is unable to mount the system partition.
The bug is listed as a problem in twrp. See the first post in the twrp thread.

thank you very much it works , i am restoring now my rom tell me there is no solution for the fastboot restriction of 100mb max download ?

Nope, there isn't a solution to the 100mb problem. Only with a script u can get it right. Somewhere on this forum there is a hand made solution that does the job. It works, tried it myself.

I have this message about 100mb on my fastboot too. Could it be important in my problem that you commented on http://forum.xda-developers.com/raz...-cyanogenmod-11-t2966855/page117#post61326253 or is it unsolvable? thank you

No, the 100mb message means that the max download size of a file you want to flash through fastboot is 100mb. So a file like system.img may not exceed 100mb. To flash a image higher than 100mb, u need a fastboot binary that can separate the big file in chunks of 100mb and than send those files to the phone. So all files are send with a max size of 100mb, but the actual combined size surpasses 100mb.

Max download size 100mb

Hi, I'm having the same problem and I do not understand how you solved that you can explain me? I know the Razr I is an old smartphone but my new cell phone broke and I remembered that I have razr saved

Well... too late, but for 'Bootloader: max_size" errors, you must flash w RDS opening for first the xml and deleting the "get_var max download size" line. just that.

Can't change system partition sizes.

Hi. Wanted to install enigma rom, but I had some problems. When wanted to flash the system using fastboot - there was an error, not enough space. Then I tried with clockwork, didn't work either.
After that I noticed that I have to change size of partitions, went to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15901109&postcount=23 , downloaded System: 250 Data: 134, tried to flash it. But again a f**king error -writing appsbl failed (remote: unknown partition).
Googled it, but didn't found nothing useful. Would be very glad, if someone here would help.

Hi there glad your interested in enigma we have a nice release comming very soon
What are you using windows or linux?
If its linux remember sudo or su before the commands and to restart you terminal check permissions and do a clean wipe ex sudo ./fastboot -w
If using windows download mur4iks custom boot loader it works better than the pre made files for windows the pre mades where more for linux.

There wasn't much to do, and yes I did everything correct. Cause if there wasn't enough space, there would be that error again, that there isn't enough space.

Download Mur4iks custom bootloader and then put ur phone into fastboot.
Connect phone to pc and check that all the fastboot driver has been installed.
Then open the bootloader and select ur system partition.. (data partition will
change auto) then click wipe data and then click flash partition..
Click reboot and then go into recovery and then flash enigma !!
Hey i think you should use the bootloadertool not the predefined one's maybe that works.
http://kulkoff.com/swift/ and then download the swiftbootloaderbuilder.zip.
extract into one folder ! it needs some additional files.
make backup with clockworkmod!
put the gt540 via usb , restart into fastboot mode before starting the bootloaderbuilder!
run the bootloaderbuilder.exe as administrator if using 7 / vista.
select partition sizes, flash bootloader. wipe & reboot.
restore an backup of your rom, flashable zips work too.

[Q] Flashing Custom Recovery

I'm having hard time flash custom recovery. I installed ROM Manager, when I tried to go to recovery I got stuck at android logo with EXCLAMATORY POINT. I already followed this instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10467058&postcount=1638 (deleted these files /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and /system/recovery-from-boot.p)
Followed these instructions:
via fastboot
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to a location where fastboot can find it.
Boot your phone into fastboot mode (power on while holding the trackball)
Connect your phone via usb to your pc/mac/...
fastboot devices (to make sure that fastboot "sees" your phone)
fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
via terminal app
Code:
Copy recovery-RA-passion-v2.2.1.img to the root of your sdcard
start the terminal app
su(press enter)

I also installed 4Ext Touch Recovery, but I think it need a wifi to connect to server, but I can't access a wife connection as of now.
What am I missing? I'm about to flash a ROM, my problem is just the recovery.. Anyone can help me with this? :crying:
i dont think you are missing anything just boot into recovery and flash your rom.
dont use rom manager to flash recovery, dont use 4ext recovery control app.
if you used one of the two methods you mentioned above (terminal or fastboot) and it was successful
then you have a recovery on your phone, boot into it and install your rom of choice, of course some roms will need custom mtd partitions whcih can be managed through blackrose, but for now just flash one within your parameters so you can begin
happy flashing!

I really dont know what is happening. Still I can't go to recovery. Btw, does locking/unlocking bootloader affects in flashing custom recovery. But I think I already unlock mine, how would I know if unlock or lock my bootloader?
... Yea very much so, and I believe I misread you first post, I take it you didn't root your phone properly. First of all check what boot loader you have by booting into your hboot. There are a few ways to get there but for now just power off and then power back on holding your volume down key, here will be a screen with some words and androids skateboarding, write down everything from that screen here.

Well you are better off than just an unlocked bootloader, you have black rose installed which essentially is an engineering bootloader that allows custom mtd partitions.
Right now you have 260 for system, 10 cache and 166 for data, this should be fine for any chance ROM but may consider changing later on depending on ROM you want to run
For now you need these things
ROM of choice and anything else the dev thinks you need (gapps etc)
Put that on root of sdcard, make sure it is partitioned to fat32 and not in any folder
Also need to have fastboot working, I'm assuming you are using windows.
You will need fastboot.exe usually found in the android SDK and elsewhere.
Proper drivers installed, and although not necessary its nice to add fastboot and adb into path in environmental variables.
If all this is done great. If not go do it now.
Now get recovery, let's say amonra. Open cmd in the same directory as the recovery image, make sure you name it recovery.img (if you don't change command to fit)
Boot into hboot, and put phone into fastboot mode and connect to computer
In cmd type
fastboot devices
If you see your serial # good, if not then you missed something earlier
Now type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
If the output say done then you are good, select recovery from within hboot menu and reboot there, once in recovery do a nandrpoid backup (good practice) then do a full wipe, (yes wipe everything you possibly can - side note fastboot -w is cleaner for future reference) then flash ROM, gapps, whatever you need
Let me know if you get stuck

No problem, fastboot is a key skill to learn with any android device that supports it
Here is a guide I made a while back

Its meant for a different phone but the basics are the same, I would suggest to read up on it a bit and you will have a much easier android experience

Hi, I have a follow up question regarding sd partition, I will just raise my question here than making another thread. I have 4GB SD card but I forgot how much ext partition I made before but my total space in my SD card is 3.21GB. I want to partition my sd card again and increase it maybe to 1gb. If I will increase my partition should I flash again my ROM (VJ CM10.1 | Jelly Bean 4.2.2 - v6.0) and execute a2sd command in terminal emulator? or it's okay to partition my sd card without flashing the ROM again?
You can partition SD without fllashing rom again
On this phone the easiest way to check what you have is in 4ext recovery under info, or if you have a Linux distro run gparted
You could also run df through adb shell or if not by a computer, open a terminal and type
such
df
But being it sounds like you want too repartition I would just flash 4ext recovery and do everything from there

I think a2sd is not working in my device. When I tried to install a2sd or reinstall it there was a line written in termenal emulator (/dev/block/mmcblkop2) I think that the reason why I easily having internal memory full, even I already partition my sd card, with 1024 ext partition using 4ext touch recovery. Check my screenshot in titanium backup showing my memory status..

It looks like its working, just need to move what you want from data to ext partition shown by titanium as a2sd. What ROM are you running? It does support having apps on ext correct?

also if you want an easy to see graph style layout of you partitions download Disk Usage from the market, you can easily see what is stored in which partition

Thanks, Btw, what if I wanted to change my ROM, what procedure should I follow? Should I go back to Stock ROM before flashing a new ROM?
Nope, boot to recovery, do a nandroid backup, wipe everything, wipe twice even, hell fastboot wipe (most issues people have when flashing a new ROM is not clean wiping)
Then flash ROM like you did first time, and being you have a huge partition for system right now I would suggest to shrink it a bit first, maybe around 170 if your going to use cyan mobile. If you do this you propably should be prepared to flash recovery again as well

Thanks for the quick reply. So, you're saying that I should partition my system first and flash recovery just like what you taught me in our previous posts? Just to be sure and making all things clear to my self.

[dev] [wip] More Data on lg optimus l90

so ive messed with this before and have hard bricked devices doing so but those devices diddnt have custom recovery but i was able to increase the data partition size by approximately 500MB (see screenshot below) im working on a recovery zip that wll do it and seeing wherelse i can pull stuff from lol. i plan to future update it so that the system is 1GB which is about all you really need and shrink partitiojnns that have more space then they ned down to like 5MB to keep the number scheme the same
Beta 1 zip is bad i am just goinmg to make a windows bat file that will do it lol
instructions.
if you want to keep your rom and data you will need and external sd card that is big nough to hold a backup of system and data.
okay i made a bat script that **SHOULD** work i havent been able to test one part of it so if youd like to test ill attach the zip to the bottom of the post

i am not resposible if you brick your device doing this i can only confirm it will work on D415 if your onj a variant and want to know if itll work PM me the output put either from adb or a terminal emulator ls -l /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-num

Um no, I have Philz-Touch installed, Is there any way to turn this into a flashable zip? I don't want to loose my CWM format backups, so if I must switch to TWR then I might pass for now.

I've tried making a flashable zip but with no success. Right now twrp is the only way this works

No problem.
What about restoring original partition scheme? Is this possible via kdz tools (or what's called)? Is kdz reparitioning device?
Or it has to be done manually (then we have repart making it EXACTLY the same, every single byte?
@demonslayer12349, your script is a little strange.
Code:
@adb shell su -c "mount -o remopunt rw, /"
It should be:
Code:
@adb shell su -c "mount -o remount rw, /"
isn't it?
Then another thing. You delete 4 partitions and create only three.
For D410 partition 31 is "eksst". It is 0.5mb only. What is the reason to delete it?
Or the script is device-specific?

As I know LG software doesn't recreate partitions, so you have to do it manually.

Thx for the answer. Spoony bards they are

Unable to delete a file from Data partition!

There is a file on my xt1068 with path /data/data/com.google.chrome/app_webview/Cache/8f7f69bc88662934_0 .I am unable to delete this file through any method.It is not visible in es file explorer or any other file manager,i have tried deleting the folder but it fails even after providing root permissions.I have tried deleting it by wiping data partition via TWRP and CWM but both failed.I also tried deleting it using aroma file manager and TWRP's flile manager but no luck.Due to this file i can't create or restore nandroid backup.While installing any new ROM i need to go to the TWRP's file manager and i manually delete all the folder's except the one i mentioned above,to perform a clean install.I have also tried restoring to stock firmaware using fastboot but after installation of rom the file still remains there.
My TWRP always shows this message:"E:Unable to stat '/data/data/com.google.chrome/app_webview/Cache/8f7f69bc88662934_0'
Please help me with this.
I would also be interested in a solution as I have a similar / same problem.
If I try and delete it via an adb shell I get : "rm failed for org.mozilla.firefox.old, I/O error"
Some threads have said the problem might be solvable by repairing the partition using tools like fsck.
I've unmounted the /data partition and tried to use fsck.f2fs from the recovery (TWRP) but get this error:
Assertion failed!
[fsck_chk_node_blk: 187] ni.blk_addr >= SM_I(sbi)->main_blkaddr
I'd like to solve this problem so i can again make nandroid backups and play around with my phone.
Thanks for the help

I have the same problem but I think I have all the emmc memory as Read-Only, because I can't change the Recovery (vía fastboot) or flash another ROM or restore a Backup or even format anything.
I can enter to TWRP and Fastboot mode but any change I made is saved..

corrupted emmc memory -- this could be because a set to read only.... or true failure - no cures (yet) for this and tbh the rumoured way is by linux commands to set permissions again and no one seems to have progressed or got results in last 9 months or so.
It magically got solved after flashing radium redefined ROM.

Question I might have bricked my phone, I need help

I am just new to this flashing custom roms or firmware and twrp also. And dumb enough to not back it up.
I wanted to install arrow os in my phone. When I was about to wipe data, cache and dalvik, I accidentally checked metadata also and wiped. Then problems created more problems.
problems right now:
I cant put a file in my storage
Internal Storage is just blank on my pc
No OS
TWRP on both slots
please help me i really needed help and knowledge about it
I hope the attachment helps
EDIT--
Solutions to my problems:
WHEN you softbrick your phone and you only have fastboot and nothing else
Thanks to this guy..
SOLUTION: download your original firmware but choose the fastboot one and not recovery after download just unzip. Double click flash_all.bat and its back to square one.
WHEN you dont know how to flash or the file you have is .img
SOLUTION: find a guide in xda because apparently you can install a .img file in "fastbootd" mode
the guides here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...sues-all-without-any-custom-recovery.4337099/
COMMENT: not the usual thats what on top of youtube search.
WHEN you see errors in twrp/orangefox recovery you might get panic and search for solution.
COMMENT: try to find and use a solution that doesnt delete something first. In my experience it got bricked even more.
Thanks to the people who commented back on my post and helping me get to know what to do next.
Try putting the stock ROM on a SD card or usb (if you have a dongle).

SD card that you put on beside the sim? if yes
Do I download stock ROM in official website? Cus I dont have 1 right now
then flashing it there by using twrp? is that how its gonna run? because i really dont wanna assume and create another problem
Try flashing this stock ROM (global) from a SD card, in TWRP. It's a recovery package, so you can install it as any zip.
Also, can you boot into fastboot/bootloader from TWRP?
Plus, where did you get the ArrowOS image? There are no builds, official or not.

can you sideload?
I can now see it, I think I reflashed twrp, now I can, but I cant install because of failed to mount system_root and I have done change file system of data to Ext4. when it resets it comes back to f2fs
edit: change file system of data to Ext4 failed
edit2: thank you guys really for commenting back and helping me
is no verity affecting it? cus I am not able to install it now
you should format data and put the arrow build in it, maybe it will work

Should have said "extract the file, there's a zip or img inside", don't change the file extension.
Update: I found the guide how to sideload ... just change the Ext4 to F2fs
[Tutorial] TWRP ADB Sideloading

forum.xda-developers.com
and I was able to sideload it and then got MIUI finally
what worried me is there were still errors like system_root, vendor and product... and its running fine now I guess but im back on track to make it to arrow OS.... I hope no mistakes this time like deleting metadata.
Thank you all who replied to this post , I really do. Thank you

I cant seem to install TWRP recovery again it justs bootloop .. I dont know why anybody knows?
Whenever I fastboot boot twrp3.6.1-rosemary it fails, says too many links, and when I fastboot reboot recovery it boot loops

A12 shouldn't be a problem.
Probably you should flash another vbmeta.img.
OR
I don't know if there is an .img twrp around, but if there is you can:
Code:
fastboot boot {recovery.img}
and then [Advanced]>[Install Recovery Ramdisk].
