Hello together, i tried to install Iode GSI Image to a Shift 5me Phone. Unfortunately the command “fastboot flash system system.img” failed with the following message:

writing “system\_a” Failed (remote: “sparse image size span overflow”)  
fastboot: error: Command failed

The Smartphone runs into a boot loop after restarting. Can anyone help?

The Bootloader was successfully unlocked! I followed the tutorial on this side [https://blog.iode.tech/what-are-gsis-and-how-to-install-them/](https://blog.iode.tech/what-are-gsis-and-how-to-install-them/)
