[Q] Problem Flashing Stock Ruu

I'm S-Off, I've locked the bootloader, and when i'm on my computer running the flash ruu command I end up getting this error:
C:\ADB>fastboot flash zip C:\ADB\ruu.zip
sending 'zip' (243622 KB)...
OKAY [ 10.888s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) zip header checking...
(bootloader) zip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 24 parsing android-info fail)
finished. total time: 12.345s
I'm flashing using the same OTA they're both 1.29 and that's the ruu I used to flash so I dont see where Im going wrong with this, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried to run the actual RUU file? Looks like the file might be a little small, the one that I used from http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=22979706399752931 is about a gig in size.
I downloaded it, unzipped it and ran setup from my PC with my phone connected to the USB cable.
Good luck!

Problems with VZW Developer Edition Rooting

Please bare with me, I am probably a "C" student in the knowledge of this stuff. I've successfully rooted and rom'd the Galaxy Nexus many times but I'm having trouble with the new Moto X.
I unlocked without issue
Tried to follow the TWRP instructions (which clearly assume some existing knowledge). Not quiet sure what happens with Mfastboot but I got that from a download.
The TWRP flash failed. Can't remember the exact message but I think it was a binary size error.
Now the phone will not boot at all, it just goes back to the bootloader.
I am currently running the repair from the Motorola Device Manager and then I'll have to start again.
So what might be wrong ?

Bricked for a second time.
Here is the error
C:\MOTOX>mfastboot flash recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
sending 'recovery' (7 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.238s]

The img file should not be 7 KB. It's around 9 MB. Make sure that you have left clicked the link for the file from the other thread and go to the goo.im page. Then download from there. If you try to right-click the link and "save as", you'll get that 7 KB file.

This.
Make sure your bootloader is unlocked and that you have the 4.4 compatible twrp file downloaded (check md5). Sounds like you've got the bootloader part done but do not have the recovery file rather you've saved the link.

There he has the file you'll need. It should be about 9.62 MB in size. Be sure to compare the MD5 with the one on goo.im: cb7808078a6746dc87e6eaeb4f145dc0

Yes, file size was wrong and it worked after I redownloaded it.
Thanks.

Potentially Bricked Device, Help please!

Hello, I'm really hoping someone can offer me some assistance with this issue.
I currently have a rooted P9 but had some issues earlier which resulted in the /data partition being unable to be mounted. I have tried everything I have read online to attempt to fix this. I cannot format or advanced wipe in TWRP, I am unable to wipe through bootloader and I have no idea what to do now. I am still able to boot to system but cannot flash stock rom or format partitions. The data partition is in the f2fs format which I believe means that it is encrypted. I have installed this recovery and am still having the same issues, I can't think of anything else I can do so I am open to any suggestions or support. I have the latest TWRP installed.
When trying to flash stock recovery I get
"target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending 'recovery' (35180 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.744s]
writing 'recovery'...
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.750s"
However when I managed to install stock earlier it said that there was an error getting the package info failed. I don't know what has changed but it now won't allow me to flash recovery whereas it would before.
Thanks!

(((SOLVED)))bricked phone failed <remote: sparse flash write failure>

Hello,
At the moment, my phone has an unlocked bootloader and trwp recovery installed.
When I want to flash the stock system (because I have removed it completely just like I did months ago) via fastboot, I always get this error "failed <remote: sparse flash write failure>" while I can install the stock recovery, stock boot.
I also noticed that I can't erase nor format ANY partition, it gives me "command not allowed".
When I check devices in fastboot it shows mine.
In the past, I have installed the same file that I'm trying to install right now and it worked like a charm, but now I don't know what is wrong
Can you tell me what I have done?
I read somewhere it is a hardware issue
Can you at least tell me what caused it?
I have removed cache, dalvik cache and data but nothing happened. I also used another pc to flash the system still didn't work.
What I haven't tried is using sd card ( which I don't have at the moment)
Here is a sample:
C:\Users\HP\Desktop\phone\img\fastboot flash system system.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse 'system' (430551 KB)...
OKAY [ 15.525s]
writing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
finished. total time: 15.562s
Thank you for reading, appreciate it

I'm having the same issue on my P9 Plus. Did you manage to fix it somehow?

Command not allowed = bootloader is NOT unlocked. But maybe the bootloader shows "unlocked" but it isnt.
WHat you should try:
Rollback to Marshmallow via Dload method (sdcard needed)

I don't think this would work since all of this happened because I tried to overwrite both recovery and recovery2 with twrp which ended up soft bricking my phone. So basically the only thing that would flash is the recovery, recovery2 and boot images.

Yes, I did.
You have to flash the same version of Android you wiped before.
It happened with me when I wiped N system then I tried to install MM, the solution was just flash N system.

My build number before wiping was L19C185B385
Yes, I know that but it wasn't because of Locked FRP it was because of installing MM software without installing the rollback package

I have the same problem. How did you fix it?

p9 bricked, no charging, no system

Hello, i have huawei p9 single sim. I wanted to install stock firmware via cmd after that phone is dead. I have twrp, i tried install stock rom via dload cmd twrp, no results. When I'm retrying install firmware via cmd i have error: PS C:\Users\user\Desktop> fastboot flash system system.img

Sorry for my bad english

Please make sure you have the right stock firmware for you phone, and use the dload method without using twrp. To do this, put the Update.app in the dload folder on your sdcard. Then follow these steps:
Unplug usb cable
Hold power button + volume up + volume down at the same time
Keep it pressed even when the screen flashes (this way, it will not go into twrp)
if you have the right firmware, it will update.

Which stock ROM - only FullOTA-MF-PV were applicable for DLOAD or flashing ZIPs thtough TWRP.
And b38,-something was the last FullOTA-MF-PV
If you didn't brick, use HWOTA
