(((SOLVED)))bricked phone failed <remote: sparse flash write failure>

IDontKnowAnythingAtAll · May 21, 2017

Hello,
At the moment, my phone has an unlocked bootloader and trwp recovery installed.
When I want to flash the stock system (because I have removed it completely just like I did months ago) via fastboot, I always get this error "failed <remote: sparse flash write failure>" while I can install the stock recovery, stock boot.
I also noticed that I can't erase nor format ANY partition, it gives me "command not allowed".
When I check devices in fastboot it shows mine.
In the past, I have installed the same file that I'm trying to install right now and it worked like a charm, but now I don't know what is wrong
Can you tell me what I have done?
I read somewhere it is a hardware issue
Can you at least tell me what caused it?
I have removed cache, dalvik cache and data but nothing happened. I also used another pc to flash the system still didn't work.
What I haven't tried is using sd card ( which I don't have at the moment)
Here is a sample:

C:\Users\HP\Desktop\phone\img\fastboot flash system system.img
target reported max download size of 471859200 bytes
sending sparse 'system' (430551 KB)...
OKAY [ 15.525s]
writing 'system'...
FAILED (remote: sparse flash write failure)
finished. total time: 15.562s

Thank you for reading, appreciate it

I'm having the same issue on my P9 Plus. Did you manage to fix it somehow?

Command not allowed = bootloader is NOT unlocked. But maybe the bootloader shows "unlocked" but it isnt.

WHat you should try:
Rollback to Marshmallow via Dload method (sdcard needed)

I don't think this would work since all of this happened because I tried to overwrite both recovery and recovery2 with twrp which ended up soft bricking my phone. So basically the only thing that would flash is the recovery, recovery2 and boot images.

Yes, I did.
You have to flash the same version of Android you wiped before.
It happened with me when I wiped N system then I tried to install MM, the solution was just flash N system.

My build number before wiping was L19C185B385

Yes, I know that but it wasn't because of Locked FRP it was because of installing MM software without installing the rollback package
