Android 15: fastboot FAILED (Error reading sparse file)

Axent — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 14:30:42 GMT

Hello. I am trying to flash the image to the EMMC with fastboot_imx_flashall.sh

But on the process I get the unexpected Error:

flash the file of super.img to the partition of super
Sending sparse 'super' 1/2 (919128 KB) FAILED (Error reading sparse file)
fastboot: error: Command failed

I tried to search many information for resolve. But didn't help something.
No problem to flash the SD card with imx-sdcard-partition.sh
But I don't know what the problem with EMMC flashing.

Please, help.
Thanks.

Also I have in writing process the error:
"Synchronous Abort" handler, esr 0x96000046
It seems the reason
But how can I fix it?

Hello @Axent

I hope you are doing very well.

Could you please clarify the device you are using?

Also, please refer to the chapter 5 Programming Images of the Android User's Guide.

There is described how to flash it with:

$ sudo ./imx-sdcard-partition.sh -f <soc_name> -D <directory_containing_the_images> /dev/sdX # <soc_name> can be as imx8mm, imx8mn, imx8mp, imx8mq, imx8qm, imx8qxp, imx95.

Or same as you with the fastboot_imx_flashall:

sudo ./fastboot_imx_flashall.sh -f imx8mm -a -e -u trusty-dual -D /imx_android/evk_8mm/

Best regards,

Salas.
