Hello
I compiled android for Volantis ( after downloading the sources from official google repo )
when trying to flash it i have this message
i added the "-S 256M" after finding it online , it didn't work without it too , i think that it doesn't flash the whole image since the image size is 1.5G .
I successfully flash the stock image though .
Code:
fastboot flash -S 256M system system.img
gives this output :
Code:
Invalid sparse file format at header magi

Hi All,
I have made an custom ROM for Huawei U8818 device.I flashed my device with the fastboot protocol and I received following messages during flash of device.

From above it seems that device is flashed properly but when device is rebooting.
It does not proceed after boot screen.It simply stucks at boot screen.
How do I debug it.
Any suggestions.......
My Nexus 6P got stuck on a boot loop in the middle of a resource-intensive game. It was on the angler-opm6.171019.030.e1 firmware with a recent-ish version of Lineage OS.
In this state, I can get into the bootloader by keeping the volume down key pressed. However, I can't get into recovery from the bootloader, or do a factory reset, or do anything else. Choosing any option in the bootloader simply causes the phone to reboot.
However, while the bootloader is open, I am able to connect the phone to my computer via USB and run fastboot. At first I tried reflashing individual partitions like the bootloader, the vendor image, the recovery (TWRP) and eventually boot, in the hopes that reflashing one of them would fix the issue. Eventually, I downloaded the latest stock image from Google and reflashed the entire thing using the vendor-provided script:
Code:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-angler-angler-03.79.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash radio radio-angler-angler-03.87.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot -w update image-angler-opm6.171019.030.k1.zip
It was very thorough. As you can see by the mkfs, it even reformatted my storage (RIP dog pics):

Suffice to say this didn't fix the issue. The phone is still on a boot loop.
What else is there to try?
I suspect a hardware issue but I can't run any diagnostics since fastboot doesn't give me shell access.
Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
Well since it's a recent firmware there might be a slight chance that it's a bug that caused your bootloop.
I think you're better of installing another custom ROM without any bugs.
If there are BUGS do tell the developers of that ROM so they will be able to fix it.
And I am 50% sure that it might not be a Hardware Issue that you are able to connect the phone onto your PC and thus the PC recognises it. But keep trying different stock versions of that phone.
If that didn't work install a updated TWRP and then load your another custom ROM on to your SD card or use ADB and flash the ROM. See if that works.

Hi, let's go:
Scénario: you know nothing Jon Snow, but you want root, so you install fastboot, no matter which twrp, you follow a couple of tutorials you found in the wild and you play around with slot a -slot b twrp option. You find funny erase partitions, that way you have more internal space, maybe. You erase devil cache, and good boy cache and everything, because why not? You do not make backups, 'cause your not a coward, but a little nervous-impulsive. Magisk? it sound cool, I´ll take 4, thanks
Strange, things start going badly: The nokia 3.2 goes crazy and you just have fastboot. You manage to have twrp again thanks to the command fastboot flash boot twrp-3.2-dpl-00eea
Buuuuuuut you cannot install img nor zip files from sdcard using install options, then you discover that there is /sdcard an /external_sdcard¡¡¡ but it does not matter, file is corrupted, even drinking bleach does not improves the situation. Yo cannot install lineage-17.1-20200413-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN. img or .zip (ahhhh it is RAR, so I have to change the extension to zip? maybe the system folder?) and you do not even know if you are arm64 a/b or just arm or legs.
You try to install system-quack-arm-ab-vanilla via adb push commands or fastboot commands, you fight with qualcomm drivers, the qfil tool, with not command found little android robot message, your system is corrupt message, go to see google nokia page (why? they are the enemy who bloats my phone!!!) you do not even know if you were in andorid 10 or 9 or 1909? You start filling up your desktop with images boot.img, .exe files OST LA bizarre programme... You try to open the nokia 3.2 to search 2 pins to enable eld supermode-mode with no chance 'cause you are not strong enough and it is really well ... glued? MAybe if I pay someone else tou fix it? 140 euros... 120 dollars, no, wait it is reaaaaaly expensive¡¡¡
REAL HINT
Have a try to download HMDSW_DPL_sprout-015B-0-00WW-B01 and search for boot vbmeta and other .img files and flash them manually via fastboot, if you are lucky as me, you may fix the self provocated prob:

Hi
Thanks for guide
but I am unable boot after following all above steps
Just as a tip: I once got mine soft-bricked (that was a scary one. No partitions, can't flash, boot, or erase anything at all, even saw the linux penguin logo instead of "Android One"), but after lots of googling i decided to check my active slot, turned out it was something like "UNAVAILABLE" (or so)
So I just set my active slot to A (or B, doesn't matter) and I recovered everything.
Meant to say bootloader said recovery big difference LOL I have the same issue with Pixel experience,Lineage,omni rom there are no errors in terminal or on phone here is the output from my terminal window i just find it odd any answers would be much appreciated thanks.

No i found a custom rom that worked keep trying roms till you find one that works havoc os worked for me and make sure you are flashing in fastbootd
I was trying to upgrade from Android 11 to 12 with an Android 12 GSI using Fastboot, but whenever I try to install the system.img, it always fails with the error:
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed FAILED (remote failure)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have seen that this error is common if you have the bootloader locked, but mine is unlocked.
Here's the full list of commands I used:
Code:

Why do I get this error, and is there any way to solve it?

You need to be in fastboot d to flash system images. In regular fastboot, type fastboot reboot fastboot.

if you update adb, you will see that it gives you an error for no space (atleast for me it did). To fix this, since your phone uses AB partitioning, you will need to do fastboot delete-logical-partition product_a and it should be good since you are using a GSI
Thanks! That worked
