So i kind of got a situation here , i originally wanted to be rooted and have my nexus 6 non encrypted so i had unlocked and rooted my phone. After i ran the "./fastboot erase userdata" command i flashed the custom recovery again and booted into it. From there i thought i would be able to "./adb sideload" a stock custom rom non encrypted but for some reason i was having difficulty running that command. My laptop was not seeing the phone, so after about 30 min of playing around with it trying to get it to work i figured id just start over fresh. From this point i dont have an OS installed so i knew i would have to download the appropriate files for the nexus 6 so i did. I tried both methods, the "./flash-all.sh" command and flashing everything one by one rebooting the bootloader in between flashes and still kept getting this same error
fastboot(1561,0xa04aa1d4) malloc: *** mach_vm_map(size=1681293312) failed (error code=3)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
failed to allocate 1679613116 bytes
error: update package missing system.img
and now im stuck in fastboot mode at least, but cannot revert back to stock unless im missing something here. Can someone help please

it looks like the script is looking for a file that is not in the proper directory
the flash all script has never worked for me I have always had to manually flash the images.
looks like you are on a mac since you are using the ./with the command
follow the directions below and you should get back to stock
since you are already in bootloader mode
Download the required factory image files to your computer and extract them
Create an empty directory. All of the files that are required, need to be in one (i.e., the same) directory. It does not matter what it is called, but all the files need to be in there, with NO subfolders. EVERYTHING needs to be extracted into this one directory; (it is easier this way)
Download the version of Android you want to your new directory. Make sure you are using a nexus 6 image.
Extract the files from within the .tgz file which you downloaded in step 3 using 7-zip, not WinZip or WinRAR or whatever.
Make sure you have extracted ALL the files (including extracting any files in any archives inside the .tgz file). You should have six (6) files ending with .img in the directory you created in step 1. The other files you extracted from the .tgz are not necessary;
Open a command prompt in the same directory (i.e., make sure you are in the same directory as your files are located). You can hold the shift key when you are in the folder in Windows explorer and right-click in a blank spot and it will open a command prompt. In Ubuntu or MAC just cd to the directory.
Type in the commands into the command prompt
Make sure your computer recognizes your device by typing: fastboot devices
Flash the bootloader: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-some-description-number.img
Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader
Flash the radio: fastboot flash radio radio-some-description-number.img
Reboot: fastboot reboot-bootloader
Flash the system partition: fastboot flash system system.img
Flash the data partition: fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
Flash the kernel/ramdisk: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Flash the recovery partition: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Erase the cache partition: fastboot format cache
Reboot: fastboot reboot
Done! The first boot will likely take quite a bit longer than you are used to, as Android builds the cache.
Now you have a fully stock image on your device. The only thing that is different from out-of-the-box condition is that your bootloader is unlocked.
No you can root or decrypt. Search for directions on the forum or the internet.
funny i just did this exact same thing like you instructed and was about to reply to this post saying i resolved it hahah. Thanks anyways though =), i dont understand why i was getting that though because i had every file in the same place
No worries glad you got it working

Also found out that you Dont do the ./fastboot erase userdate command because it puts 0s in and leaves the phone unbootable which was my root cause for my phone being stuck. Instead, after flashing the boot.IMG you do the ./fastboot partition userdata instead and it will do a factory reset and when booting it will not encrypt the phone.

Droid 3 Flash Failure
I assume it is possible to fix this problem but I can not find a solution despite extensive research. I have a Droid 3, XT862 experiencing:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)(Flash Failure)
Every time I start the phone I get this message. I can get around it by using Power+M, going into Boot Mode Selection Menu and using Normal Powerup. I have Safestrap v1.08 installed and am able to run 5.6.890 as my safe ROM and Hash’s Cyanogen ICS and both ROM’s work great.
Having to go through these procedures is a pain. I have tried to SBF. I have attempted to flash using RSD Lite. All attempts fail. I would appreciate any help or even an explanation of what the problem may be. Thanks.
Hello
dowlnoad moto-fastboot
download swu.zip file
( moto-fastboot file and downloaded swu.zip file must be extracted to that same folder )
turn on phone by using power + vol down
and in CMD use a command
moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
( you know, how to use a CMD in windows right ? )
after that reboot your phone all should be ok
You Give Me Too Much Credit
Thank you so very much for your help. I have moto-fastboot but have no idea where to obtain the swu.zip file. Any help would be appreciated. CMD in windows, what? Sorry, I am 62 years old, have no experience with this stuff. I thought I was doing well by rooting, strapping, and loading two ROMs. So if you could give me just a little more help here, I will kiss your avatar on the screen (which actually looks pretty hot!). Thanks.
Weird! Could you detail at which step RSD Lite failed to flash the ROM onto your phone? Normally, RSD Lite is the first to call when it comes to flash or unbrick Motorola phones. It's never failed me once since using on my Milestone.
Anyway, I don't know if you've read this instruction. This is pretty much foolproof. The link for the file is dead, you could try this to obtain it.
Good luck!
1. Download full system files from that link
http://www.multiupload.nl/PLYL79UDCC or from link what you got from blackbuddha
1a. make directory on C: and name it 1
2. extract this file to folder c:/1/
3. download moto-fastboot files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=635568&d=1308927194
end extract to C:/1/ where you have system droid3 system files
you must have moto-fastboot file and preinstall.img file in that same folder
( so you must check and if this both file is in diffrent folders please copy all to c:/1/)
4. click on start and in type CMD (and push enter)
5. in this black window ( CMD ) input cd/ (and push enter)
6. now type cd 1 (and push enter) you will go to folder 1
7.and now type moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img (and hit enter)
*** update ***
You must turn on phone with hold POWER + VOL DOWN buttons i forgot

I tried this but nothing happens after, phone stays in AP Fastboot Flash mode(S)
cmd did sending preinstall and writing okay twice.
Is the phone supposed to restart itself?
What next?
so no problem flash all files
with using a CMD and FAST-BOOT
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
moto-fastboot flash boot boot.img
moto-fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
moto-fastboot flash logo.bin logo.bin
moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
moto-fastboot flash cdrom cdrom
moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img
moto-fastboot flash system system.img
and this should help for 100% to you
Still working on this
I, original poster, still working on this to solve problem. Have two Droid3s so I have time to work on it. Will try later today. Thanks.
Does Not work!! Lint in the blowhole?
OK, I have tried this cure multiple ways and it just does not work. I downloaded multiple copies of the files to be installed. I have used CMD as described above but it just does not "flash". When I add the command line in CMD my hard drive cranks and spins, loading the files to be flashed. Then I get <waiting for device>. I put the phone into AP Flashboot Phone battery is OK, and plug in the USB cable. I get Erasing "userdata"...OKAY [0.047s] and Erasing 'cache" ...OKAY [0.156s] CMD says Sending "recovery" <9216 KB>... and nothing. I have waited, and waited. There is just something that prevents the files from being flashed in. Any possible ideas? It is obviously connecting if it can erase, but it will not send.
When using RSD Lite, the phone is detected as Fastboot CDMA_Solana S. When I attempt to flash the SBF file it says: Failed flashing process. Unable to retrieve interface handle. [0x7027]; phone connected.
You also try to flash mbm.bin and mbmloader.bin finally or not ?
MBM.BIN
MBMLOADER.BIN
this two files must work
moto-fastboot flash mbm mbm.bin
moto-fastboot flash mbmloader mbmloader.bin
must work ! look if you have this both files in that same folder where is fast-boot.exe
if you dont have download from here
http://speedy.sh/gURdE/mbmloader.bin
http://speedy.sh/UHGVd/mbm.bin
Thanks again but no luck
Tried to flash just these two files and no luck. The same process as described above occurred, then it did not flash the files. I am about ready to give up and just put up with having to use two steps to start the phone.
Are you on one of the leaked OTA ROMs (.902, .905, or .906)?
I am on .905 and also have this same issue. Cannot flash anything with RSD Lite and I get the AP-FastBoot Flash Failed message everytime I reboot.
I think we need a new version of RSD Lite.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Maybe Tha's The Problem
Perhaps you have put your finger on the problem. I have .906 currently installed. I am using RSD Lite 5.6 which I assume, but do not know, is the latest version available. My only reservation in agreeing that this may be the problem is that I believe I had 5.6.890 installed when I bricked and tried to unbrick using Pete's unbricking script. Flash would not work. Later I recovered by installing .906 from recovery (I think) and then continued to be unable to flash. So it could be a .906 problem but maybe not.
A few days ago I got my Atrix HD and immediately rooted and subsequently unlocked the bootloader. Later I successfully flashed EcHoFiiVe's paranoidAndroid port... I didn't really like it because of the aspect ratio (too tiny) so I tried to flash back to a stock ROM. I lost and later accidentally deleted the backup I had made of the stock ROM that came on the device so that is now out of the question but for some reason, no matter what I do, I can't make changes to /system from the recovery or from the bootloader using fastboot commands. I've tried inputing
Code:
fastboot erase system -w
and it told me that I didn't have sufficient permissions and that the command failed. Therein lies my problem. Fortunately, I have a runnable backup (PA) I just really wish to try something different and the device is adamantly against the idea. According to the bootloader the device is unlocked with status code 3. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I've read through that and I can now see a line that I missed that said that it was a common issue for that particular command to not work but I still don't know what to do about my inability to flash a different ROM. I have tried to mount /system before flashing and I've tried wiping /system using the recovery before flashing, all without avail. Do you have any advice on how to wipe the system partition?
you do not have to wipe it just fastboot flash Mex retail to overwrite it and you will be starting over.

to be clear, are you saying I can just do this:
Extract the zip
Open a terminal to the extracted zips directory
Reboot into fastboot
Type the following commands in this order
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img

I have an xt1060 that i'm trying to flash twrp onto.. I have adb and fastboot (mfastboot as well). When trying to flash twrp from philz touch i get error:
(bootloader) Variable not supported!

Anyone know what the heck i've done wrong?
What command are you using to flash? Do you have the filename right? Are you in the proper directory or referencing the proper location of the recovery image?

1 & 2) (from bootloader scren) mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img (i've renamed my file believing that could have been the problem)
Also i've tried twrp 2.7, 2.8, and philz touch just to see if it was the file or a mfastboot problem. They all result in the same message.
3) My files are placed in my adb folder.
Is your bootloader unlocked?

Yes sir it is.
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...error-cannot-load-recovery-clockwork-no-error
that is, make sure your command prompt path is the fastboot folder, or use the full path name for the recovery file.
easy shortcut fix: create a shortcut to cmd.exe in windows, then right click it and choose properties, then set start from box to be your fastboot/adb folder
note that this is basically what imnuts asked you initially but you must have misunderstood:
Are you in the proper directory or referencing the proper location of the

Sorry for misunderstanding. I'm opening cmd from the adb and fastboot folder. This is also where my recovery img is. Edited environmental variable path to minimal adb and fastboot folder as well.
Still, folder referencing issues seem to be the most likely source of the problem. Here's another example of the exact same issue. Try what the guy did, which was to create a new folder, move everything to that folder, then run command prompt from that folder, and try mfastboot flash again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/fastboot-flash-error-t2808229/page2
You can also try running command as administrator, see if that helps. But again, make sure of the path.
I tried twice now with the new folder.. once, opening cmd from within the folder and once cd to file path. I got the same result.
Stupid me
I apologize to all of you who have been helping me figure out my flashing problems. I just managed to flash TWRP. My issue was when i renamed the twrp file to "recovery.img" the computer also attributed the file extension so what i was actually trying to flash appeared to the computer as (recovery.img.img)! Sorry again fellas. I found out by looking at the properties of the recovery.img and I saw my error.
Hello guys, ive been generally lucky in the sense that i have had no issues...until now.
I have tried installing the most recent updates (7.0, and now 7.1.1) and i continue to get this error through cmd. It does not seem to want to flash anything, and i have gotten it to flash, root, and twrp, but it still acted funky. Today, trying to remedy the situation, i attempted to flash the new 7.1.1 update, and return to stock (to later return to power user) but it is still doing it.
It says Bootloader: has-slot (not found), and a couple other things. When i try to flash individual pieces, it does not retain it. when i try to flash the flashall.bat, it flashes but does not flash everything, it will say the stuff has transferred 0 and skips it as it looks like. I cannot get my bootloader off the october one, and i have looked everywhere i can to try to fix this.. please help, its driving me mad. I will be happy to provide any information needed.
Thanks Community! You rock!
Have you tried a different USB cable? A different computer? How about a different USB AND a different computer? I think this would be a good place to start.
Can i ask you why this would matter? My usb seems to work fine, and my computer had no issues before this... i can still perform different actions, and my phone is showing up as ADB and Fastboot.
If it's not pc or usb cable related you can try to flash latest factory image step by step via fastboot without your simcard
Well, you might want to post the complete output of your flashing attempt, but if the bootloader slot isn't found, that's usually a sign of a hardware problem. Hopefully I'm wrong, but until we see more from you, I simply don't have an answer for you.
Ive tried to fastboot everything individually, and it refuses to take. I tried the flashall, same thing. I used NRT and it partially worked, but has sorta the same error. I will be flashing again and providing screenshots right now. I was able to get into a rom, root, twrp but i still cannot update all of those core things (bootloader, radio, and such) Thank you guys for the help. Much needed.
Here is the attempt to just flash the bootloader, i have tried from a different location but this is directly in Platform-Tools of the SDK. As you can also see, it does register under fastboot...

I just tried what you suggest, and im not sure if it worked. It said everything wrote (on twrp) but it was very quickly done. I feel it did the same thing as CMD did.
You could try using the correct Fastboot command...
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
The command is fastboot flash <partition> <image>
Your screenshot says only "fastboot flash image" but doesn't state the partition you're trying to load, hence "unknown partition".
And since we're on the subject, perhaps a repetition of the procedure I used to use before the full OTA days might be useful to you and other people.
Preparation.
- Take a TWRP backup and save it on your PC.
- Download factory image (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu) and unzip all files, including the zip within the zip. Rename the *.img files to the names below. Copy all of them to the same folder as your ADB/fastboot executables.
- Download the relevant TWRP and rename to twrp.img - also put in ADB/fastboot folder.
- Copy SuperSU to device (if root wanted).
- Set USB debugging in Developer options & attach to your PC.
- Open a CMD window, navigate to your ADB folder, and check connectivity with "adb devices". If it's ok, copy & paste each command below into the CMD window and run them - the only lengthy one is the system.img.
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
3. fastboot reboot-bootloader

- Download factory image (https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu) and unzip all files, including the zip within the zip. Rename the *.img files to the names below. Copy all of them to the same folder as your ADB/fastboot executables.
- Download the relevant TWRP and rename to twrp.img - also put in ADB/fastboot folder.
- Copy SuperSU to device (if root wanted).
- Set USB debugging in Developer options & attach to your PC.
- Open a CMD window, navigate to your ADB folder, and check connectivity with "adb devices". If it's ok, copy & paste each command below into the CMD window and run them - the only lengthy one is the system.img.
1. adb reboot bootloader
2. fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
3. fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. fastboot flash radio radio.img
5. fastboot reboot-bootloader
6. fastboot erase system
7. fastboot flash system system.img
8. fastboot erase boot
9. fastboot flash boot boot.img
10. fastboot erase cache
11. fastboot flash cache cache.img
12. fastboot reboot-bootloader
13. fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
14. From bootloader boot to TWRP and reflash superSu

Can you give a bit more detail? So the phone is crashing, but is it now on the version that you wanted to have (7.0, 7.1.1)? There is rarely such a thing as "too much information".

Ok, so what happens is that it says i am on 7.1.1 with i guess the related info, but it does not load in properly as you can see with the screenshots. I start up the initial setup, and i can get through most of it fine, but some areas *permissions* are all blotchy. like i can toggle them on to submit data but i cant see what it is exactly im agreeing to. Then i start the phone, Google App automatically crashes, along side system ui. When i updated them, it seemed to fix the problem. But the issue is, i am not receiving phone calls and texts until possibly days later, and when i send texts it says "sending" and proceeds to spam the hell outta whoever its going to (sends literally 30+ texts). When i call someone, my phones Do Not Disturb mode gets enabled, and then nicely cuts out my audio. I can turn this feature off when im in the call, but sometimes it will then glitch the phone app, and i cannot essentially "hangup". My phone also now dies at 9%, where it had not previously (when i was on other rom / older stock) This all started after i updated to the october patch, and i noticed in december that i didnt have the december patch / update. I went to install it, and the same exact thing occurred. Ive attempted a rescue ota, and a sideload ota, and now this stuff as well, but i fear the worst for my phone. Let me know if i need to add anything else
Strephon may be right in suggesting a hardware fault, but equally it may just be that your phone is now somehow corrupted. My only suggestion is that you nuke it - factory reset, TWRP, wipe everything again in TWRP, and then try installing from fresh using the 7.1.1 full (not OTA) image and the instructions I posted earlier. If it still doesn't work I'm out of ideas, but there are people with far greater experience here than I have, so don't give up. It's too nice a device to just write off.

That's a new feature of 7.1.1. So you won't have to listen to notifications while on the phone. It's disabled as soon as the phone call is over.

I hope I'm wrong.
Hi everyone ,
I tried flashing android 11 on my pixel 4xl today and I did the exact same procedures when I used to flash my pixel 2 but I don't know what went wrong and I am stuck on Fastbood Mode where it says :
Boot slot: b
enter reason: no valid slot to boot.
What I did was , I downloaded platformtols and pixel 4xl factory image. Then , I unzipped all contents into one folder. I ran cmd command and execute the following commands :
Before running the commands I enabled OEM Unlock and USB debugging .
In the command Prompt I executed :
cd\pp\p
adb
adb devices
then it showed the list of devices attached
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flashing unlock
and then
flash-all
And now I am stuck on fastboot mode and my phone is not rooted if you are concerned . I contact google support and he thought its a hardware issue which I am damn sure it's not . He told me to send my phone to the repair center but I can not because I am not in US anymore and where I am living there is no Google Service Center. Can someone please help me I just want to run my phone again. Please !
Thanks.

When you run the flash all in fastboot, what messages/errors does it show?
I once ran into a similar problem, the fact that you have unlocked the bootloader is good as you can flash the factory image and boot it up.
Usually once in fastboot I check the devices with "fastboot devices", if it shows up, I close the adb window, copy the factory image files to the adb folder, and doublec click the flash all bat. It should do everything by itself and reboot now.

Just to add to this, make sure you left the image-coral-[buildnumber].[builddate].zip ZIPPED. Your folder should look something like this one, although you might also have your platform-tools in that same directory, which is perfectly fine, but not necessary if you have them added to your path.
Just try redoing the flash-all.bat again. This time, though, do it from powershell. Here's what to do. Right click in the folder, not on any item, just in the folder, and you should see "open powershell" (or command prompt, if this is the case, then just type powershell into the cmd window), click that. Then, type or copy and paste into the powershell prompt while in that directory:
.\flash-all.bat | Tee xda-flash-attempt.log
and if it still doesn't work and you're stuck in fastboot, just upload that .log file, so we can see what happened. If you're curious, what Tee does is it simultaneously takes standard input (i.e. what you see on the screen, the output of programs) and shows it to you, as well as sends it to a file, in this case, the xda-flash-attempt.log If you really don't want to use powershell, you can accomplish what's needed by typing flash-all.bat > xda-flash-attempt.log, but you will not see any of the output, as it will all be piped into that file. The | key is the one directly below backspace, which is the same key as \, but with shift held down.
Also, if it's not working, it might be worth checking that the checksum of the zip file you downloaded is correct, possibly redownloading it, and also checking what the flash-all.bat contents are. There are two files named flash-all in the folder, one a .sh for *nix systems, and a .bat for windows. While it should automatically assume you meant the .bat, it's best to be explicit. The .sh really wouldn't do anything different, if it worked, so it's a minor issue that really wouldn't make a difference, but still.
Edit: when you do type flash-all, the cmd prompt was in the directory with the flash-all.bat file as well as all of the other necessary files, yes? Seems obvious, perhaps, but just based on the "cd\pp\p" command you ran, which doesn't do anything, you should be changing directory to the directory that holds the flash-all.bat as well as the firmware.

Like others have said, you need to extract the Google image which has a nested zip file (which you leave alone unless you need something in there). Since you apparently are stuck and cannot boot, I suggest you extract the boot.img from that nested zip file into your tools folder and fastboot flash the boot.img to be able to boot the phone to system. You may need to do the vol-down button press to enter fastboot mode. Once you have your phone back and running, boot into fastboot mode and run the flash-all again. If you extracted the Google image completely, now the script can finish. Not sure if you want to wipe the phone while doing this, so you can also "dirty flash" . If you would like to retain all your apps and app data, edit the flash-all script with notepad and remove the wipe flag (-w) from the script and SAVE it before running. Best of luck. :good:

Put the unzipped factory image files (should be 6 of them) in your platform tools folder and then open up the command prompt in the platform tools folder and execute the flash-all command. Make sure all remnants of previous factory images, etc. are removed from the platform tools folder beforehand as well so you just have the platform tools default files in there as well as the 6 files from the factory image.
The latest version of platform tools is 30.0.4 I believe so make sure you have that version.
I just switched from a Pixel 2 xl and ran into the exact same problem with the no valid slot to boot error yesterday. It turned out I was not using the latest platform tools when flashing the factory image. I upgraded my platform tools to 30.04 and everything flashed and booted as expected.
Make sure you're using an A to C and not the C to C that comes with the phone when flashing. Yes, it matters.
Hi everyone,
Thank you so much guys for your quick responses . Well , I finally resolved my issue by the following commands so I'm just gonna post it for whomever may run into the same problem as I did .
First thing I did, was to download the latest Platform tools as well as USB Drivers and then I executed the following commands :
fastboot --slot=all flash bootloader ( Drag bootloader image ) By dragging I mean , you should unzip the flash factory image into a folder and then drag bootloader image into command prompt .
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot --slot=all flash radio ( Drag radio image )
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot --skip-reboot --slot=all update ( Drag Image file )
Boommmmm, my phone back on running again with no issue.
