[Q] Converting to stock from GPE, not sure what happened - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] problem with fastboot and not-htc rom!

Hi all,
One of my friends, has flashed lots of rom, but he cam't use them! every time he flash a new rom, after the setup, when the phone reboots, it goes in boot mode with a screen similar to this one:
{
"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"
}
the only way is to connect the usb-cable to the phone (that's allows him to enter into recovery) so through recovery he finally can reboot it!
the problem appears with all the roms, except "virtous rom v2.0"
thankks for the support!
p.s. he can also go in bootloader mode.....
Probably has Fake S-OFF, if I can find the thread on how to get True S-OFF on I'll edit this post to link it.

PS: I used to have that same radio up til about 2 weeks ago, I upgraded to the .19 radio so I could use the EliteMod ICS rom (it also seems to be nicer on the battery with the new .19 radio).

Trying to revert firmware and flash new

I previously installed MaximusHD, hit bootloop and had to revert the firmware then update to the newest available. That worked and the MaxHD ROM booted right up, but sadly that OS wasn't for Verizon phones. So I am trying to install the Viper ROM and am hitting bootloop and figured I'd give that trick a shot again. The problem I am running into is now after reverting to an older firmware it shows TWO firmwares on the phone simultaneously.
Has anyone ran into this?
Thanks in advanced.
You can see the Firmware in RED in the picture...if you can't see it right click the img and open in new web page

You have to flash a full RUU?

Unable to flash device using FlashTool for Mac OS X

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.

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_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"
}
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.
