CAN'T flash stock system.img thru Fastboot?

[Guest burstlam]

This is a tragic day for my buddy.

his blade system clashed accidently and cannot reboot.

he try to enter the clockwork mod recovery but failed (for unknown reasons)

yet he still able to connect the fastboot mode

he flash recovery newest version 2.5.1.8 yet still failed.

now he try to turn the clock back by flashing the stock images, he succeed to flash the boot and recovery partition

but stucked when trying the system.img (208M)download from this forum

he flash it by: "fastboot flash system system.img"

but he received the failed message that keep saying the length is too long .

is there any kind of limitiations? or simply the syntax is wrong

or he should do this by renaming a ZIP-version rom to update.zip

and use "fastboot -w update update.zip?"

i would try to flash clockwork again

download this file :

recovery_clockwork_2.5.1.3_blade.img

type fastboot-windows flash recovery recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.3-blade.img

go in clockwork as usual and flash the zip

if this doesn't work try with clockwork 2.5.0.9

update.zip or anyfile.zip is for use once you've sucessfully installed ClockWordMod, not to install from Fastboot.

please read the ClowWorkMod installation guide thoroughly to install it, I would suggest you install the older version first and get your phone back up and running with the stock image.

let me clarify that he did flash the clockwork mod again but failed to enter the clockwork mod by pressing the power button and volume down button

he could access the phone thr fastboot mode only..

indeed , the fastboot command update could do so

only it the rom contain proper txt-base information.

Have you tried pulling your battery and leaving it out for 15 mins or rebooting without your SD card as these ave been known to cause boot issues?

Also, could the clockworkmod files you have be corrupt? Which version did you use, Paul's Clockworkmod: 2.5.0.9 (d7664757ec3d4862cc408b7304e4df8f), 2.5.1.3 (0733acd513717f2dc7ee08809bd7ea20) do the MD5 checksum check out?

Is your device a TFT or OLED - you can also try Seb404 ClockWorkMod 2.5.1.8 to see if it makes any difference?

Another option is to use fastboot to flash a stock MCRi ROM, I can't find one on the forum, but that could be down to me using incorrect search strings.
