[Q] (bootloader) Preflash validation failure FAILED (remote: ) - Motorola Atrix 2

I misedited my build.prop so I am trying to reflash a stock system.img to my Atrix 2 using Terminal on my mac.
When I attempt to flash it I get error messages.
localhost:android williamguy$ ./fastboot flash system /Users/williamguy/Desktop/5.5.1-EDEM-28-TNZ_cfc.xml/system.img

I only need to flash the system.img to fix my phone, other images from the rom flash successfully - only boot.img and system.img get this error message.

You need to get the moto-fastboot utility. Google search for it.
You use the moto-fastboot command and not the fast boot command to flash. I have used it on my macs many times without issue.... The fastboot command does not work on moto phones/images.

[Q] [SOLVED] “Invalid image size for partition recovery”

I'm trying to flash a recovery image to a Razr Maxx HD, but I'm not entirely sure that I'm doing it correctly.
Code:
$ sudo fastboot flash recovery ~/recovery.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes
sending 'recovery' (7340 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.589s]
writing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.734s
Afterwards, my phone says “invalid image size for partition recovery.” The image I'm using is at goo .im /devs /Hashcode /vanquish, and I've tried all three versions. Am I on the right track at all or no?
Edit: Never mind. Gotta unlock the phone first. Problem solved.
I also saw that error when it was the wrong carrier recovery image

Hard bricked my XOOM help

NOTE: Says when on rsd mode failed to boot 0x00001
on fastboot same + is says failed to format pds and does't connect to the pc after that
i have over 50 hours in 5 days looking for way to fix no luck .
i try my luck with Fastboot. I first tried flashing the recovery with no luck. I then tried flashing over the official moto files (boot/sytstem/....)
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
fastboot erase cache
C:\SDK_tools>fastboot flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... OKAY [ 0.694s]
writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: (19000008))
....
If i follow that order boot/system and recovery fail then userdata says it works and it lets me flash the other options (but clearly just says they work it looks like it's lying)

If I try fastboot oem unlock I'm prompted with the unlock message and after hitting accept. I see the following error on the screen
ERROR: Failed to format UDA.
Error while unlocking device.
My next try was with RSD light. I tried flashing all of the images for my xoom off this site . all of them give me the following error:
Failed flashing process. Failed Flashing process. Interface AP-OS: Error flashing subscriber unit. Device API error: 0xE0020085 Address: 0x1F870 Command: ADDR (0xE0222085); phone connected
I ran out of ideas on what to do next. One post i saw said try using a nand backup but I can't find one that will work.
Any help would be great. I really love my XOOM and I'm sad i can't fix it.

XT1541 broken after attempt do factory reset

Dear all,
I own a XT1541 and updated to Marhsmallow via OTA few weeks ago. I encountered some troubles with the performance. I also had the issue that a single app was attempted to be optimized on every boot. Therefore, I decided to reset it to factory settings. However, it seemed that this process failed (waited nearly for an hour to complete but nothing happened).
After rebooting then manually, I am stuck in a fastboot message
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
failed to validate boot image
ERROR: failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from charger boot mode
CID Read Failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
I can access the device via my Linux using fastboot command. What do you propose to recover from my problem.
Thanks

One thing that confuses me is the fact that the tool tells me that I shall turn on the USB debug mode. However, since Android does not boot any longer, I have no chance to do this in the Settings. Is there any way to enable this debug mode in another way?

OK:
1. First you need to root the device. Follow this guide. You will use adb to patch the boot.img file of your current firmware.
2. After you have rooted, you can install the unofficial TWRP for Android 10 Moto G8 Plus from here. The zip file will install through magisk. Works fine; I tested it last night.
