when I use fastboot tool to flash system.img, it shows "sp space is not enough" when the flashing is finished. At first I think it will brick my phone, but it doesn't, my Moto X is still working.
So what does it mean? Will it bring some protential mistakes?
How can I solve the problem? Thanks very much!!!
My phone is rooted, installed TWRP 2.7.1.1
P.S. The problem comes after I WIPE the SYSTEM with TWRP

You MUST flash system.img using 'mfastboot' and not 'fastboot'.
Fastboot cannot handle system.img because it is too large. Just search this forum and you will find 'mfastboot.exe'. I know it is linked in the "Return to Stock" thread.
EDIT: Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
The OP linked "mfastboot" in the top section of that post. Remember to "thank" the original poster of that thread for providing you with the file you need
Good Luck

Dude, i've also flashed with mfastboot the system.img file but however it returns the same message in red. It doesn't seem to affect to anything when flashing with mfastboot, but anyways watching that message appear when flashing the whole firmware gives me kind of a mini heart attack. :$
It seems that it even appears when wiping everything before flashing. So, isn't it a hardware matter? It didn't appear to me before when flashing system, so i don't really know what caused it to appear.
To OP, don't worry if you get the same error when flashing with mfastboot, it seems to work anyways. However don't use fastboot command to flash system, as samwathegreat said.

The same happened to me and the circumstances were the same as well. Experimenting with custom Roms I wiped the system. Now every sbf flash with RDS gives me exact the same message in red. Though I haven't noticed any failure or misbehavior of the actual system yet. But seeing that row in red with every flashing is kinda frightened. Though I don't believe that hardware is affected I can't see how it could possibly be. I'm more afraid that wrong partitions of the memory occurred and lack of the system partition might be issue.

In fact it really doesn't seem to affect anything, I just feel not well watching the message in red during flashing everytime. Just like a mini heart attack as you said.

My question is similar to 'nikpmr's troubles but different enough I think they deserve a separate post.
The Problem as UnderstoodI was trying to root my device following the guide at this website. It's so simple it's a wonder I messed up. I think my failure was that I thought the drivers installed when I connected the phone were enough so I skipped that step. Then when running fastboot flash recovery.img the install failed. So I saw on some forum that it was supposed to be fastboot flash boot recovery.img of course now I know if anything it ought to have been "recovery" not "boot".
What I've Tried & Partial SolutionAt first I was just stuck in a boot loop and selecting "sideload" from the CWM recovery failed to allow me to connect with ADB or fastboot. i.e. Running "fastboot devices" and "adb devices" both returned as having no devices connected to my computer. So I installed the HTC Sync and promptly uninstalled the non driver parts of the app. Then I installed USBdeview and used it to uninstall all the USB devices associated with my HTC First. After doing that I learned booting into HBOOT allowed me to connect to the computer using fastboot and after then booting to the CWM Recovery I was able to connect using ADB to do a sideload. So I guess I'm about halfway there. Unfortunately after looking up the newest RUU and attempting to sideload it using "adb sideload OTA_MYST_UL_1.08.502.1-1.08.502.4.zip" the sideload failed. After selecting "- install zip from sideload" I get a message twice of "failed to open driver control: No such file or directory". It also failed when I attempted it with a similar fastboot command. So from all that I surmise my ROM is ruined and just needs to be replaced.
QuestionSo how do I go about replacing this ROM and boot partition? And, which ROM should I use? Is the one I got from the RUU site suitable? And what about the radio? I just need my phone to work. I can worry about rooting later. At this point I think I know what's happened but I don't know where to begin reading to figure out how to fix it myself.
Thanks for reading,

1. you had to type in fastboot flash recovery recovery.img NOT fastboot flash boot recovery.img
Well there was an actual all in 1 tool to get cwm/twrp & root with a click for this specific device somewhere around these threads.
1) what exactly is the problem? (Sorry it was just so many words)
I don't think side loading the RUU would work bc I haven't heard its possible to flash it in the phone itself.
2) why don't you just sideload an existing pre-rooted ROM instead of the RUU file?
3) I see you're s-on, did you try flashing just the boot.IMG from the ROM you've got on it?
BTW I've only had luck with twrp on having it successfully detected when wanting to sideload

1) The issue is I did "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" rather than "fastboot flash recovery.img" now I don't seem to have a boot mount point.
2) That sounds best. I didn't realize the RUU want a flashable ROM. More I just have to find the updated stable stock ROM.
3) I didn't have a ROM on it. I was just trying to root stock. Seems like I'm pretty close once I find that ROM.
Thanks y'all! Between your answers I think I have enough to go on. Feel free to point me to your preferred stable ROM. I'm content with stock but it would be nice to have Tiranium BU.

Thanks guys I know I always like to know when something I said was successful in helping someone. I just wanted yall to know after sideloading the most recent Odexed ROM then pushing it to memory after it wouldn't boot I succeeded after taking abrahammmmmm's advice of flashing the boot.img from HBOOT. After a longer boot than I'm used to I was able to get into my phone again. I wasn't able to use my TitaniumBU to restore but that just meant I had to spend a few minutes selecting apps to install.. And restoring a data backup for the only important app that doesn't keep the primary data off the phone.
Thanks again!

i think what happened, when you typed in "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" is this
boot, is also known as kernel in aosp and rom building terms, because if you look inside a rom.zip, you will see that the kernel is the boot.img
so what happened is you flashed a recovery as kernel, and duh it wont boot cause if the kernel doesnt work, the os doesnt either
so what YOU did is you simply reflashed the stock kernel, usually after changing a kernel, it takes a while to boot cause...well you get it right?
the kernel is what android is based off of, kind of like ubuntu, its a linux os based on the original linux kernel.

That's what I thought happened. If I had stopped to read the help on fastboot before running "fastboot flash boot recovery.img" I wouldn't have made that mistake because I would have seen I wanted to flash recovery. One thing I *did not* know, which I'm glad to know, was that the boot.img contains the kernal. I was thinking Android was more similar to IBM style PCs than it is and therefore the boot.img was analogous to a bootloader like grub or lilo.
So the one thing I don't get is how is partitioning done? I take it Androids have some reserved partition for boot and the boot.img takes care of all system partitioning and mounts /sdcard/ for everything else. i.e. userland; appdata, media, and files. Am I guessing correctly?

Yep that's correct.
The name correlation is booting up requires kernel there for kernel is called beet.IMG
Thing about custom kernels, they aren't like that and simply contain modded files and pretty much an in packaged kernel.

My Moto X now refuses to boot. With stock recovery it'll get past the bootloader, then blink an image of a dead android with the message "Error" briefly, and keep doing so every ~10 seconds. If I flash TWRP, any attempt to boot takes me to TWRP, with log messages reading "unable to mount..." for a bunch of partitions (/data, /cache, storage, etc.)
Can I recover my device?
The short sequence of events: I rooted my phone (T-Mobile phone, unlocked it via Motorola's website) and installed TWRP. Later I tried to accept the 4.4.2 OTA update, but the phone wouldn't take the update, because TWRP. Flashed stock recovery tried again, got stuck in bootloop. Tried flashing back the 4.4 / 140.44.3 images from here, now I'm stuck with a blinking error message.
I see there are a bunch of image files bundled into the 4.4.2 / 161.44.25 update - would flashing those do any good?
What version is your bootloader?

Version 30.B2.
OK, you still have the 4.4 bootloader so you should have no problem flashing the full tmobile/retail/dev edition build of firmware. I'd perform a full flash with rsdlite or with fastboot using all of the commands in the xml file in the same order. Do not skip any files or bypass any files if there are errors.
This will reset your phone and wipe all content!
Did you attempt to clear dalvik and cache, I believe you can do it through fastboot
Fast boot erase cache should work . its trying to flash the it's ,so you need to delete the cache where the ota file downloaded to
Sent on my Gummy running Lenoto X
so here is abit more help here are the full firmware links
T-Mobile 4.4
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=0&file=2
that is the file you need to flash with RSD Lite or Fastboot and it should get you 100% back up and running.
But then if you want to go to 4.4.2 after you flash the firmware before you add anything or install TWRP just update the phone to 4.4.2 then install the custom recovery and SuperSU.

I have tried both RSD Lite, and applying all of the commands from the XML file manually, following the directions from here. Both ways, I still get the blinking error message
The "can't mount..." log messages I get if I flash back to TWRP suggest it could be some sort of partitioning problem, but I'm not sure how to diagnose that.
And the flashing of all files completes successfully?

I could have sworn that I wasn't getting any errors previously. Now, however, after trying to flash system.img (making sure to use mfastboot, of course), I get an error on the phone, "sp space is not enough". Not sure what it means, and Googling around doesn't turn up any answers.

Ouch, it does kind of sound like the partition table got damaged. I suppose you could try "fastboot erase system" and then try to flash the system partition again.
So I guess more warnings into my noobs guide to accept an ota thread
Maybe I should put a notice not to accept the ota and only flash your carriers sbf firmware when available?

So if you perform a full factory reset the phone will boot up normally now? If that is the case then I don't see any problem with accepting the OTA to 4.4.2.
Help PLZ
I had the exact same problem as OP, took the same course of action, and got a successful boot. I do some minimal stuff, check if everything is working, turn on dev mode, etc. I put in my wifi password.
I wanted to check if my bootloader was back to stock, so I turned off my device, and then tried to power on. Pressing the power button does nothing.
So I get into fastboot, and select factory (reset) again. It boots up, but it doesn't seem like it actually did a factory reset, because it automatically connected to my wifi..
Have you any idea what's going on, and how perhaps to solve this weird dilemna?
EDIT: I'm not sure if I actually did anything, but after a couple reboots it just started working normally. I installed the update to 4.4.2 and everything is smooth thus far.
Eventually the phone prompted me to apply the 4.4.2 update so often the phone was actually unusable - it'd go back to the "do you want to update?" screen as soon as I backed out of it. I was thus forced to apply it OTA. Fortunately, the update went through fine this time, and my phone continues to work fine
Thanks for your help, folks!
So, where Ive come from to get here is unreal. But, I fought from a phone that wouldnt make it out of the "unlocked bootloader warning" screen and broken recovery to where recovery opens, and when booting the system, it makes it to the cm bootani and quits there, but when I try to flash a recovery, or even a fresh rom install, format a partition, It's not mounting the partitions needed to get the job done. It will be a few days before I can get back in front of a pc to work on this some more, and by then, i hope to be able to copy the log from recovery so i can post it. In the meanwhile,
ANY AND ALL INPUT/INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

So this is a Moto E ?
Have you tried flashing the entire stock SBF as per the "Return to Stock" thread?
If you have, and this doesn't work, try the following:
Try flashing (from fastboot mode), JUST the STOCK bootloader (motoboot.img), and the STOCK partition table (gpt.bin), then reboot (fastboot reboot-bootloader). The after reboot, try to flash the rest of the partitions as listed in the flashfile.xml file (which is contained in the SBF zip file).
This will allow the bootloader to LOAD an un-corrupted partition table before you flash the rest of the partitions.
You might also consider posting in the Moto E forum as they might have better device-specific advice.
Good Luck

My nexus 6 is unlocked and is running stock 5.0.1, rooted. . It has twrp and is decrypted.
I tried to sideload the 5.1 ota but it doesnt work.
I tried flashing the new 5.1 factory image but that doesnt work.
I'm tired of all this now, I just want my phone running stock 5.1 , locked , encrypted ,unrooted so I can just get ota next time from Google whenever they send it out.
Any guidance on what I need to do would be appreciated.
Use Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit :good:
Edit : Now I'm currently "Optimising app..." loop.
I tried using tge NRT to flash it back to stock but it didn't work.
I would first make a TWRP backup, then I would flash the boot image (decrypted if you want and make sure its the new one), system, radio and then reboot. I flashed everything fine while keeping twrp on my phone but I didn't like not having a custom ROM plus it was a little laggy so I restored a TWRP backup. My phone did bootloop for a while but eventually it booted 5.1. I would be careful since 5.1 seems to be having some issues in general.

Glad to help!
You also could have extracted the zip and manually flashed the images ing fastboot
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
Etc

I agree that always works without fail and is much easier than a tool kit. I don't like tool kits because people need to learn the correct way to flash things before using one because its better to understand what you are flashing should there be an error.

I totally agree. Have done successful manual flash when tool kits failed. Seen on Nexus 6 already.Saved my soft brick with manual flash when tool kit failed.

I don't have anything against toolkits on some devices, so long as it is not used as a shortcut to learning the basics. That said, on a nexus, I don't really see any need to be honest.

Thats how I feel because its so easy my wife could do it and she doesn't know anything about flashing. Toolkits are good for non Nexus devices, I just don't see a point when we need to learn things the correct way first.
I hope the bugs get sorted out so people don't hard brick their phones anyone

Im a complete fastboot novice since this is my first nexus device (always had samsung phones up until now) and although I managed to root and unlock the boot loader I want to make sure I learn all the basics including flashing (side loading?) subsequent updates.
So Im currently rooted, unlocked bootloader on a 5.01. custom rom. How would I go about flashing the 5.1 update manually?
Im assuming that once I extract the update zip file I will find all the images that need to be flashed....what order do i do them in? How do I take into account the boot loader locking issue people have been facing that results in a bricked device?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I found this thread which outlines what I need to do http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/using-image-to-update-nexus-6-data-loss-t3053158
I only have two question now:
1. Im assuming the system image will wipe out the custom rom im on but not the data will leaving the data cause a problem? whats the command line to wipe data?
2. This doesnt address the boot loader locking issue causing a brick that people have been facing. This process involves updating the boot loader what do i have to do to make sure I dont brick my device?
Thanks again

You could simply not update the bootloader. Bare minimum requirements is update system and boot (kernel). if you want to learn more about fastboot, go to general > All in one guide > Question 28.
If you do not update the bootloader, you'll never get an OTA but it doesn't seem like you're wanting that anyway.
In regards to data, yes it could cause a problem if you're using a custom rom. You can use fastboot erase data command. This also wipes your /sdcard though.
So I feel like I am really screwed on this.... attempted flashing stock via RSDLite. It began flashing fine until about halfway through the system.img ...all of a sudden it loses fastboot and my computer freaks out saying that an unkown standard usb device is attached. I figured that I would just flash a batch through recovery, but now there is not recovery image either.
So... I have no fastboot mode and no recovery mode and an unrecognizable usb device. Please help me
Edit: I have a feeling its due to a driver issue... during the downgrade the required driver probably changed... and thus disconnected in the middle of flash. If this is the case, then I feel like an idiot

Try setting up another computer. You should be able to go into bootlader mode by pressing power and volume down buttons at the same time. Hopefully you have enought battery. If that doesnt work someone should be able to help you out.
Downgrading the bootloader on Motorola devices (Nexus 6 included) results in a permanent (well, unless you can upgrade the bootloader to what it was originally) brick.

Wow I hope that my edit was right instead... I know for a fact that it failed during the system image portion of the flash. all I did was follow the instructions posted somewhere on this forum which basically just said... download 21.12 firmware, go to fastboot, flash with rsdlite. Guess the fact that they left out remove bootloader image is no big deal.. NOT

It's nothing they did wrong. At the time of writing it, that was probably the latest version. Can you still flash things via rsdlite? If so, take a look at this copy of the latest update.

Okay so good news... I installed the older sdk drivers and my phone will now connect to fastboot mode again. wooo!!! Now, to make sure I do this right, @r3pwn , the link you just sent me was a superuser image, right? Background story as to why I am doing this, I have root and I ended up breaking google play services pretty bad and reinstalling would not fix the problem and neither would cache clear or system.img flash. So I was just gonna try to start fresh. So, I attempted to flash 21.12 firmware and thats how I ended up here. What should I do next? Flash that SU firmware or flash the 21.12 firmware? Should I remove the bootloader and boot images from those .xml files? Thanks for your time, I should be good after that information

That's not the root firmware, that's just plain stock. I would recommend you flash that image (the one I linked) then re-root.

I realized that after I downloaded the file and took a look at it further... thanks for your help and for bearing with me. It worked!
