FAILED (remote: flash_cmds error!)

[Vereathor]

Hi @all,

i just messed something up while testing several custom roms for my Zenfone5 so actually i cant write system neither by "sideload" nor by "fastboot flash system". i always get the a mistake like:

FAILED (remote: flash_cmds error!)

Actually i cant find a mistake by myself. Is it located in my PC or in my phone? i already searched for an errorlist for fastboot but that doesn't get me any results...

and as we say in germany:
Vielen Dank im Vorraus!

You're trying to flash a wrong file.
What's the command you're running?

Can you post a link to recovery you are trying to flash? (I will test it)
