[HELP] moto-fastboot flash error

[calvertdw]

I am trying to flash a system.img:

moto-fastboot.exe -w flash system system.img
sending 'system' (262144 KB)... OKAY [ 12.080s]
writing 'system'... FAILED (status read failed (Unknown error))

What are some things that would cause this?

Thank you for any help,
Duncan

Moto-fastboot -w
that wipes userdata

moto-fastboot flash system system.img
that flashes system

also if that doesn't work try switching usb ports and try again

My battery went low, I have it on the charger now. I got the new 4.0.4 fastboot zip, and had tried that, but when i run update VRZ(...).zip, it says it is missing some text files. Also, my phone does not show up in RSD Lite.

If your phone doesn't show up then update your drivers. There's a link to the updated drivers in my ICS Root thread in the Hacks forum.

My phone is now showing up in RSD Lite, but when I perform a 'moto-fastboot.exe -w' I get: 'erasing 'userdata'... FAILED (remote: Battery Low)

I have had my phone on the charger for hours. I'm not sure if charging is working.

EDIT: Shortly after posting, I got the data erase to work after quickly toggling the charging and connection USB cables. I got erasing 'userdata' OKAY and erasing 'cache' OKAY

I'm going to try charging with the phone off, but the green light is not on, and that worries me.

Try waking it to show the charging animation I think to wake it slightly press the power button or press volume keys

When I wake it (or do anything other than go to fastboot), it says AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure).

Every time I reboot without the power connected it says Low Battery.

While writing this, I noticed one of the options on the bootloader screen is BP only. I'm hoping that means Battery Power only. Just selected that, and it's stuck on red M. I have the charger connected. I wonder if it is charging.

EDIT: It wasn't. Now I can't get it to go to any screen without a Low Battery Warning.

EDIT2: I think I am now the proud owner of a $600 brick.

did u try holding down power and volume down to reset it ? And oh man you know what I remember seeing this happen before (atrix thread)you got to try and get it charged 100 percent then I believe. Without powering it on connect it to the pc and run rsd and it will work
