Fastboot hangs when transfer system.img

Products Support HiKey
#1

I’ve added my application to system and build sdk to get boot.img & system.img
When I use fastboot flash -w system out/target/product/hikey/system.img, the host hangs like

root@adam-ThinkPad-T430s:/home/adam/8.0# fastboot flash -w system system.img

Does anyone has any idea about this situation?
Thanks

Are you flashing via fastboot mode (jumpers 1-2 5-6 connected)?
If so, please try flashing again via recovery mode (jumpers 1-2 3-4 connected).

Hi vchong,

Thanks for your help, but it is not working.

I cannot let hikey into recovery mode (jumpers 1-2 3-4 connected).
When (jumpers 1-2 3-4 connected), hikey cannot power on (power indicator led is off). Power switch(push button) does not work too.

Besides, how should I burn android without fastboot under recovery mode ?

Reagrds,
Adam

You need to run hisi-idt.py first from recovery before you can use fastboot. See https://github.com/96boards/documentation/blob/master/ConsumerEdition/HiKey/Installation/BoardRecovery.md.
