error writing recovery: No space left on device device.

You are not the only one and after searching around I could not find an answer that worked. I wanted to change my recovery (to make sure my RSA keys were backed up). I could not find any answers which worked for me. So after countless hours, I realized that I still had S-ON so I tried unrevoked forever (if you do not have a working recovery I can post how to get around that too) and what do you know I no longer get those errors and I can change recoveries all day. So it seems having S-ON may be causing some of people's inability to write to recovery.
