[Q] Fastboot flash Error: Download size too large - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know, there have been other threads for this error. But i couldn't find the one solution to this.
I have a bricked Huawei Ascend P1 LTE phone.
All partitions are wiped, including system.
Now someone with a working Huawei Ascend P1 LTE provides me a boot.img, recovery.img and system.img from his phone.
I tried
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
But all i get every time is this stupid error:
FAILED (remote: Download size too large)

What does this actually mean and what is the one solution to it? Please help me rescue my phone!
Thanks in advance!

[Q] error recovering Huawei Honor U8860

I experience the same symptoms as this thread, but the proposed solution does not work for me. (the sd_update.log says
Failure: OSBL°æ±¾Æ¥Åäʧ°Ü.
dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I rooted the phone, and misread the instructions for altering the recovery.img, which is what caused the problem in the fist place.
I have tried flashing with B925, B927 without luck.
I have also tried to use sudo fastboot boot recovery.img with a local recovery.img, and tried flashing fastboot flash recovery recovery.img - but it says
FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which i presume is because the bootloader is not unlocked.
I also tried fastboot getvar all - but that came out empty.
I also tried http://androidforums.com/huawei-ideos-x5-u8800/593253-unlock-bootloader-huawei-supply-code.html but the model is not listed...
I have an idea that essentially i just have to get in and delete recovery.img and rename recovery.backup.img to recovery.img - but i haven't got a clue about how to do it.
Phone responds to fastboot commands.
I look forward to your input.

[SOLVED] patch to enable B919 was the missing link
Solved: www .shadowandy .net/2013/01/huawei-honor-u8860-shendu-rom-flashing-guide.htm the first link (dload_B929rus.rar (MD5 = 7264f7ad3bd7eebd298a8be978823734)) solved the problems, i am now on a B919 chinese rom.

Alcatel One Touch Idol S OT-6034R Reflashing stock image

Hi,
I am having really bad issues with my Alcatel One Touch Idol S OT-6034R and need to reflash it back to stock. On Sammy phones their is an option as everyone probably knows of emergency firmware recovery. Not so with Alcatel. i tried their "One touch upgrade" software but it says it is already the latest version, which yeah I know it is but I want to reflash it. I tried calling Alcatel and they said it must be sent off. Really? For something I could fix myself if only they just provided the stuff to do it. If anyone has any ideas where I could get the stock zip file that I can flash with stock recovery or other files I could grab to force the flash then please help with anything you may have.
Many thanks, I know never to buy Alcatel again but until I can afford another phone I am stuck with this one.
I have the same issue, I swapped the settings.apk and settingprovidor.apk from the wrong custpack and not its stuck in a boot loop.
I have the original files but can't add them back to the phone
anybody?

Can you not ADB PUSH them back to the phone with it in recovery mode? might fix your issue possibly.

Hi, everyone!
I have the same problem. Everything worked fine untill I changed some values in build.prop. Since then the phone freezes on operator logo when I try to boot.
I can boot to CWM and restore previously made backup, but no results, can't boot to system.
When I try with ADB; "fastboot -i 0x1bbb erase boot.img" it tells me that partition table is missing..... Is it possible to restore partition table informations? Any further thoughts?

Leave the erase command, just boot into cwm, format the system, custpack, reboot to bootloader and flash the files Will working too
The custpack file seems to be wrong. I've managed to flash the files but this version of custpack leads to bootloop. I found another version custpack on the french forum and with it booted successfully but... NO WIFI, NO GSM. And the "Baseband version" is Unknown.

Can you please explain us more about this last resource?
In folder BS472 there are 3 files... isn't "custpack.img" to small? And should we rename "boot-bs472.img" and "recovery_bs472.img" to "boot.img" and "recovery.img" before flashing?
And about two ROMs; first is just 70 Mb in size and the other is 233 Mb? Are they both working as standalone ROMs or something else? Should we flash it with CWM?
Maybe flashing ROM will resolve all problems?
What about other folders and files within?
Sorry for lot of questions, but this phone is a frustrating experience for me...

Sorry, but my english is bad. But yeah, i know, i spent 3 days (0-24) to fix this phone. For me the reflash custpack, boot and system img worked from my first post. From mediafire folder need just the 2 roms. the first 70mb is only the system. The orange rom i think the full rom. Yes, every two are cwm flashable. Try to flash the img-s in bootloader mode after flash the 70mb rom with cwm. If dont work make a factory reset with cwm and flash the 233mb orange rom. This phone's software like a nightmare. No source code, everything is different like in other phones and nobody knows the different between the 6034 and 6035. I better like my OT-991 with MTK soc...
@gabcs
Unfortunatelly, after no success in searching for solution (couldn't find the ROM), two weeks ago, I gave up and sent my phone to service center and I hope that they will resolve the problem. Big and frustrating issue was that I couldn't get to bootloader any more, so the phone couldn't recieve adb commands, only thing that worked was CWM...
Service center will resolve that for 20 euros, and I will resolve my nerves
Anyway, thank you for your time and your help.
@zlamar,
what happened with your phone? Did you managed to have it repaired/restored? My phone is still bricked and It seems the problem is to find the appropriate custpack image as the french versions don't work for other countries.
Still nothing.... Service center where I gave it for repair isn't authorised and they didn't resolve the issue.
Does anybody have a full CWM backup image, and is willing to share it and upload it somewhere?
It has nothing to do with authorization, they just don't have alcatel service access.
There is special alcatel service flasher, that works online, and is intended for Qualcomm platform.
I played with it, and re-flashed my 6016x (MSM8210 - Qualcomm Snapdragon 200).
If you were somewhere closer, I would repair it for 20€ very fast and effiecent
@pmarkov ... I have original files but they are useless, because no any flasher to use them.
b.r.
ALex
Hi Alex,
Thanks for the clarification. Obviously this magic flashing tool is only internaly available for authorized service providers. Today I contacted the official local partner of Alcatel and they were positive they can handle the reflashing for approx. 20 EUR. Let's hope they really will fix it.

Bootloader Unlocked but says "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"

I'm trying to flash system.img using fastboot. However it says "FAILED (remote: Command not allowed)"
I can access fastboot and Recovery.
I'm doing this because I have no OS due to accidental wipe.
I'm using Huawei Mediapad M2 801L

Already another thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/help-please-help-to-unlock-bootloader-t3514419/page1
Please use search and read before posting. It keeps the forums clean . Copy and paste the adb/fastboot log you got here so that we can help you better. Also you can flash a custom rom and get things straight if you have a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM installed.

Bricked Mate 10 Pro BLA-L29

Hello, I have bricked my phone when I was trying to go back to stock firmware from RR.
TWRP does not work for me, internal storage can not be read (even though I've tried all images I've found for this phone..) so I had to do it through fastboot and hwota.
Somehow it bricked the phone and I get
ERROR MODE
Attention!
Please update system again
Error!
Func NO: 7 (teeos image)
Error NO: 1 (security verify failed!)
If I extract TEEOS.img from UPDATE.app (8.0.0.145(C432)) and try
fastboot flash teeos TEEOS.img
I get
FAILED (remote: command not allowed)
I've tried to flash
SYSTEM.img
RECOVERY_RAMDIS.img
RAMDISK.img
If anyone know what I can do to fix this please enlighten me..
