Unable to flash device using FlashTool for Mac OS X - Sony Xperia M

Hello,
I am attempting to flash my Sony Xperia M phone, to downgrade it from 4.3 to 4.1 (in order to install a custom ROM).
I have downloaded two versions of the 4.1 OS, but neither appear to work.
The problem is, the progress bar indicating how far along the Flashing process is, is stuck at one point forever.
As I understand, it should take only a matter of minutes, but I've left it going for hours at a time, but it never completes.
There seems to be something wrong with the software, or the OS I've downloaded, or the phone itself. I have no idea.
If you are able to suggest ways around this problem, that would be appreciated.
Here's a screenshot and a WebM of the Flashing process.

[Q] Converting to stock from GPE, not sure what happened

I had my AT&T HTC One M8 on the Google Play Edition RUU for a while and decided to switch back to Sense using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733523
However, I can't figure out how to get a new operating system back on there. I flashed some firmware and after a few issues with the phone not going into custom recovery mode (solved by using a different firmware version), I got TWRP to work. I still can't get an actual OS on there, though.
Trying to boot the phone to system just opens recovery and I would normally try to install a ROM via TWRP but any time I try to put files on the phone, I get an error like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm clearly not an expert with this stuff. I just want to get my phone back to the way it was when I got it. Anyone have any ideas?

HTC M9 stuck on TWRP (cannot install or do anything else)

Well, I should start with that this is my gf's phone and I've installed LinageOS quite a while ago. She's saying that she was installing a weekly update when the phone crashed and after that it started to stay on the boot window for hours. When I tried to manually update the phone via TWRP it showed this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Tried some Youtube guides, as changing from EXT 4 to EXT 2 and back again, repairing the file system, but it just says the same thing all the time. Any ideas how to fix that? Thanks in advance!
I'm not very experienced in that (only installed a few ROMs to a few different phones), so it would be great to get some step-by-step guide, so I don't mess something up <3
Flash back to stock and start over. If the ruu can't fix it then nothing will.

Revert to stock: how?

Hey guys,
I want to sell my old backup phone Galaxy A320FL. In the distant past I once installed LineageOS 16, but now I'd like to revert completely to the original stock ROM.
So my question is:
Can one of you provide me with the steps needed to take to make this happen?
And preferably a link to the (Dutch / PHN) stock rom files wich doesn't limit speed to 100b/s
Also, when I boot the phone it always says KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING and sometimes it gets stuck in boot. And when i go into download mode i get this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It says WARRANTY VOID
Is that going to be a problem?
And I don't know if this matters, but I'm using Ubuntu.
So i have to use adb or something?
These are a lot of questions, but I hope you can help me a bit on this.

That phase requires a ton of DRAM. When building 19.1, this phase might consume as much as 12GB DRAM.
It's suggested to have 16GB DRAM. If you have less, make sure your swap partition is around 16GB.
You can also try to adapt these hacks to make it build with less DRAM.

ONEPLUS 5T Bricked, no OS installed. Phone is basicly non existent...

Hi guys,
I'm in a bit of a pickle and i have surfed the whole wide web and haven't found an answer to my questions/problem.
My dad installed Ubuntu on this phone to try it out and eventually i took it over since i needed the phone.
I made a stupid mistake by wiping the system and everything on it via the ubuntu screen and now i'm stuck with a bricked? phone.
I have no idea how to revive this phone and i'm in a great need for help.
The bootloader is unlocked and this is what i see (check images)
Anyone who knows what i'm supposed to do to get this phone to work again?
Thank you very much.

If all else fails MSM will usually rescue the phone.
Make sure to follow the guide exactly and that the PC has the drivers installed (they're linked in the guide).
I'll try the MSM tool tomorrow, ill keep you updated!
Thank you for the reaction.
