I get an error when I try to fastboot flash system system.img. It doesn't appear to write the system.img to the phone. It downloads but doesn't seem to write and I get an error that says sp space is not enough.
I have a dev edition unlocked and was trying to return to stock anticipating the update.
Which fastboot are you using ?

moto fastboot. I am using the same computer/sdk/fastboot that I was using just a couple of days ago when I wasn't getting the error. FWIW it doesn't seem to actually affect anything. I just flashed twrp, formatted system, booted back to the bootloader and flashed the system and got the same error but the phone boots fine so it must be writing the system image. I am still perplexed as to what the error is. I had never seen it before until last night.
If you're not rooted and you are stock...how do you go about doing this?

Exact same way as all versions of the phone..... Follow the guide I posted in Dev Section, it gives detailed step by step.

I must be making a big mistake along the process, because I am fairly new to this. I flashed a couple ROMs on my Droid X in the past, but my S3 is just not working for me...
I have followed the stickied guide to flash the stock ROM, install TWRP, then root and unlock bootloader. When I attempt to follow the instructions to install the ROM I have chosen, it fails every time. It fails just after attempting to open the .zip, so it is very quickly. I have Odin flashed back to stock 3 times and tried 2 different ROMs, both fail the same way.
Is there any more information I should provide?
What error message you get? Whether you are seeing TWRP recovery or Stock recovery?

"Unable to open .zip," or something similar.
So have you tried just rooting the phone first with bootloader unlocked. Once you make sure you have the phone rooted then go back into recovery to flash.
Also there are so many steps you could have messed up on a little bit more detail on what it does when you go into recovery to flash or if you can't even get there.

Good point. Be sure your bootloader is unlocked - most roms now will not flash with a locked bootloader. Also did you verify the md5 matches? You flashed on the dx so I'm sure you did - just trying to cover all the bases.

Getting the same error in both. Tried CWM first, because that is what I was familiar with from the past, but I reflashed and tried TWRP. They are not both installed at the same time, if that would be an issue.
I have only verified that my bootloader is unlocked by the split second flash of SAMSUNG during boot. I also do not have a "custom" message at the bottom. I'm not familiar with any other way to verify.
After trying a few different things with no success, I have looked into the error a little further.

Fastboot was working because you were in bootloader. Adb requires you to be booted into a ROM with usb debugging turned on.

So I updated my bootloader to 4.2 fine, now I'm unable to install twrp, fastboot just comes back with:
sending 'recovery' (7872 KB)... FAILED (command write failed (Unknown error))
or sometimes I just hangs on sending...
I can't do anything :/
can anyone help?
Are you sure you are using the correct version of twrp? It is bootloader specific and in my experience WW OR US specific. Make sure you are using the 4.2 compatible version. If that is all good, try downloading again. Maybe you got a bad download or bad cable

Yeah everything's fine, it just keeps giving that error, I'm just grateful it does work, just can't flash any ROMs on it, stuck with stock

My guess is something is wrong with your Windows installation of the Android SDK. Perhaps the USB drivers of your tablet as well?

Try a different USB port. I had this same problem when I used the front port on my computer. Once I moved to the back port everything worked like a dream. If that doesn't help it might be a bad cable.
Okay new problem, I got that working, and i flashed the 2.5 4.2 bootloader, but nothing works, nothing would boot, and now the recovery says version is 2.4.3.0, but the downloaded file that i flashed says its 2.5.0.0-4.2, it cant mount anything, I cant even get back to the fastboot screen, it just boots to recovery
edit: it can only mount the system partition too, nothing esle :/

Hello xda
Title says it all. I have unlocked my bootloader without a problem, I have tried every single way to root the moto G and have had no luck now.
I've tried the super boot methods 1 & 2
#1 the .bat file works and says its complete but upon a reboot of the phone super su is no were to be seen and have no root access. Tried about 7-8 times.
Method 2 apparently works correctly and gives me the hab recovery error but when I click the recovery option in bootloader to progress it just boots me out and boots up the phone or takes me into the recovery screen saying no commands.
I'm running 4.4.2 with unlocked bootloader what other options are available? Cheers

Likely need to do some wiping... What partitions did you wipe when you installed the ROM?
Try wiping cache and dalvik should fix it

Flash a custom recovery and install SuperSU with a ZIP file
I know there are only few people using stockrom here, but according to this:
Carrier IQ, round 2: Motorola's Android devices are running "Qe", a process which logs all modifications to the stock OS and sends them back to Motorola
nomatter VZW or MOTO do this, i decide to remove the service.
By disabling "service qe" section in /init.target.rc will totally disable /xbin/qe running while our xt897 is booting, and this will also speed up the booting time.
we can do this by modifying the boot partition.
Disclaimer:
!! This is only for Photon Q 4G LTE stockrom !!
Most custom roms are already removed qe from boot partition.
I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong while using this mod.
how to flash:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot mmcblk0p31_boot_mod.img
how to check:
every time you reboot the phone, "/xbin/qe /system" will be executed, and the result will be stored in /data/misc/qer
delete /data/misc/qer and reboot, you should no longer see the qer appeared anymore.
I also attached the original boot partition image just in case anything goes wrong.
(mmcblk0p31_boot.img is the original one)
So you have done this? Or are you only reporting it?

I have already stopped qe from booting in stockrom.
You can just do a simple flash to the boot partition.
Maybe the Droid4 and Razer also have this kind of problem, but i dont have these phones.
Ok, do you have the download to flash, or is it in the link?
Can this be flashed through TWRP etc, or only through ADB?

The .7z file attached to the OP is what you extract then flash.
Directions are in the OP:
how to flash:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot mmcblk0p31_boot_mod.img

It could certainly be modified to flash via TWRP.
Ha - I thought the attached zip was the stock - that's how I read it.
