Hi, i can not flash my phone back to stock rom (Nexus 6P). I tried to flash the stock rom using the flash-all.bat as well as flashing it manually, i've updated my adb and fastboot version and scoured the web looking for answers. The problem seems to be when i try flashing the system.img, i get an error saying the system.img is too big for the system partition on my phone??? If anyone knows the fix, or has run into this issue before please send me some help!!!
Relax and just wait. It will fastboot flash the system.IMG in 5 parts. It takes about 5-10 minutes to do the entire fastboot flash.
Cheers,
B.D.

I used the fastboot command and updated every time when I bought nexus 7 (wifi) from last year.
However, when I updated from jwr66v to jwr66y, I used wipe function in CWM. Then, I got the "archive does not contain boot.sig" and "archive does not contain recovery.sig" and "failed to allocate XXXXXXX.byte"...
Then I tried to get back version to 4.2.2, but I also got the same error message. I follow the guidehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 to manual flash each .img files, the same problem occur at flashing system.img
At now, I could not get into android system, just hang on the "Google" logo.
I have read the same problem in another threadhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992063, but I could not have any idea to solve it?
Anyone have idea?
Thank you very much.
PS: I used the platform-tools r22.0.5
"boot.sig и recovery.sig"
You must install the recovery.img and boot.img
Solution
Here's a solution for ya: http://shuiqingwang.blogspot.com/2013/03/solvedfastboot-wired-errors.html
Basically use these commands:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
I know this post is late, but this worked for me

Hi guys,
In front of me, I have my friend's very stubborn LG Nexus 4. It's about 7 months old and a month ago, he dropped it and cracked the screen's glass (and the case's glass back as well). The phone still worked fine for a few weeks after that after that, but the touchscreen was not always responding correctly. He decided to give it to a service center for repair, but they returned it in a few days claiming there's a bootloop and they won't repair it (even if he paid) since the phone wasn't purchased in the same country. (Such BS, isn't it?)
An easy thing to fix, I thought, after fixing all sorts of bootloops on my SGT, SGS1 and my other friend's SGS2. Turns out, it's anything but.
Regardless of whether I flash stock following this guide or CM11 following the CM wiki, the phone is stuck on boot animation. 4 swirling colored balls for stock or an arrow rotating aroud Cid in case of CM11.
I have tried both stock recovery and CWM. I have tried wiping cache, data, Dalvik cache, any combination of only one or two or all three, tried waiting for an hour on first boot (someone suggested the first boot can take up to 15 minutes... find that hard to believe since even my sluggish SGS1 will manage in 3 minutes tops after a flash, but still tried) - all in vain. All I get is the screen's backlight level suddenly jumping up about 5 minutes into the boot process, as if the "Welcome to Android!" menu is about to appear - but it's still bootlooping until the battery runs out. (It gets quite warm too.)
TL;DR Nexus 4 flashes successfully with both stock 4.4.2 and CM11 but bootloops no matter what.
What can I do at this point to troubleshoot it? I'm out of ideas.
Its possible that this is a hardware issue but for now what I would try is download latest stock, Google search
android factory images
And choose the latest for your device, KOT49H
Now boot to fastboot
fastboot erase system -w
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
Now
fastboot flash bootloader nameofbootloader.img
fastboot flash radio nameofradio.img
Now either double click the flashall.bat or I prefer just extracting the rest an manual flash
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash data userdata.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now
fastboot reboot
If this doesn't work than a good chance of hardware issue from all the falls, if it does work then my guess is you want to root it so go back to fastboot and flash the latest twrp or cwm recovery
Then either boot to recovery and flash su or wipe all and flash a custom ROM
Best of luck!

As I said, I've already tried CWM, custom ROM (CM 11 - which required rooting, which I did) and followed the guide I linked for flashing the latest stock ROM I got from Google. The only thing I haven't tried is the fastboot erase commands - thanks for suggesting that, I will try them ASAP before trying to flash stock again though I don't have much hope left
Give it a shot, if you do everything in this order you will be good if its a software issue, if it doesn't work than possibly hardware

Hi Guys...
My nexus 4 Stocked on logo last friday, I try to recovery, wipe cache, and nothing.
So I learn that some devices of Nexus 4 after update to 4.4 are having this problem.
By the way I try to flashtool on a 4.3 version, the system was installed, but I am still stocked on logo...
Anyone have any Idea, how I can fix this?
I have no access to adb, only by flashtool
here are the way that I installed the old stock version:
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader D:\Nexus\SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\bootloader-mako-makoz20i.img
fastboot reboot botloader
fastboot flash radio D:\Nexus\SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
fastboot -w update D:\Nexus\SDK\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\image-occam-jwr66y.zip
Thanks btw
Have you done a factory reset in the stock recovery?

I tried to wipe cache and delete all user data, but nothing works.
I read on net that I have to be pressing the volume(-) button on google animation to make a factory reset, this never worked for me....
I was thinking in install a custom firmware to try to fix this...
Do I have to hcange the bootloader, or a stock bootloader will be enough...
for example I wanna try this:
[ROM] NEXUS 5 PORT 4.4.2 KOT49H odexed 10/12/2013
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-nexus-5-port-4-4-2-kot49h-odexed-10-t2507021
But the problem that as my nexus are not working I have no access to adb commands, so how I can fix that?
Just by now i was able to sideload to flash my phone
So I tried a old 4.2.2 google version.
But I have a failure:
" Signature verification failed"
Why this failure happens if I am using a oficial stock from google?

Are you trying to flash a rom in the stock recovery? It won't work, you need a custom recovery. You can try to install a custom recovery by flashing an image file in fastboot. Or you can flash the factory image in fastboot and start all over. I'm not sure what stage your device is on right now

I installed the most old version 4.2.2 of stock version by flash mode, I dont know why, but on versions 4.3 and 4.4 the precess always stops on some part of the flastool.. thats why I try the sideload.
4.2.2 was ok,
now I finally get over the stuck logo and can access the phone, but the phone its nothing find the network, But I am still working on it.
Now I understand Why......
I lost my IMEi on the process
*#06# shows no IMEI...
Now I have to find a tool to burn the IMEI again...
Anyone knows some, I just find the OCtoplus, but I have to buy....
There is one free?
so i had pac rom on my player but after awhile i got tired of the glitches and i just wanted to go back to stock and then root it. i tried using NRT to flash back to stock but its stuck at the boot screen. been on it for the past 30mins
can someone please help me flash this thing back to stock. ill re root it from there, but as of now its not turning on
anyone?
maybe a link to a youtube video?
ive tried googleing and following what i found on here but so far im not getting anywhere.
What about this post? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-player/help/nexus-player-bricked-t3160061
That is assuming you know how to use Fastboot. I would completely unplug the NP, hold the bottom button in while plugging in the power cord and see if it gets you to the bootloader?
Yes. I have tried doing some fastboot things. I downloaded the stock files from Google and doing the flash all bat file but it keeps erroring out saying it can't allocate space for system or something. Sorry, I'd try again but I gave up for today. I'll try again tomorrow.
May have to do it all manually: (Taken from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-9/help/factory-image-flash-t2929019/post56529332#post56529332)
run the flash-all.bat up until the point where it fails
unzip image-fugu-LMY48J.zip
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cache cache.img
fastboot flash userdata.img
fastboot reboot

thank you. ill try this now
i may have bricked it. its now saying errors for anything i do. i type in fastboot devices and it just gives me a bunch of question marks. gonna try calling google i guess
Called Google and they couldn't fix it so they sent me to Asus and that was a joke.
Asus tried doing a hard reset but that didn't work. They want me to send it in
Have you sent it back yet? Maybe try this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/toolkit-wugs-nexus-root-toolkit-v1-9-8-t2947452

Hi im having problems here with my nexus player
i purchased and used this since 3year with custom AOSP android lollirock that i found on this forum how to install in the begining when i purchased it now since there are newer version of android and app stop working correctly on it i wanna return to the stock rom
what it did is after booting into fastboot and running those command using google official rom
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash bootloader (bootloader filename)
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash cache (there were no cache.img in the google official rom package so i leave it like this)
fastboot reboot
my nexus bootloader is in UNlocked state, i remeber unlocked it the first time i flash the original rom to install the lollirock one
the device rebooted and now im stuck in the bootloop of circle turning in the screen
i did the exact samething trying to install a older version of the rom (after i read on the internet that the 8.00 was sending people who never messed around with fastboot and just using OTA to update into this samebootloop)
i got the same exact problem using an older version of the google official rom 7.1.2 i try i think
then i tried to reinstall AOSP custom 7.1 of android that i found on the forum of zulu99 he tell to
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot -w (and i noticed that when i run this fastboot return me and error saying that the file is missing (cannot generate image for userdata)
anyone know what i can do from here ?
im able to get into fastboot no problem holding the button under the device before i plugged in the power cord
im pretty a beginner using ADB and flashing android roms so i have no clue what im missing here but i guess its something due to the fact that ivd run fastboot erase cache.img in the begining !?!?
Please any help would be greatly appreciated
I always used the nexus root tool kit for everything.
