Could someone seed the torrent, please?

I'm seeding still seeding this, if you're having issues getting it, try enabling encryption.

OK, here it goes.

How long do these sessions take by estimation?

I keep on hanging during the flash during the flash to stock. I have it set-up properly in AP Fastboot Flash Mode with the USB cord attached to the computer. The one thing I think could be an issue is that now that it's failed a flash, my os is incomplete and doesn't allow me to adjust the phone manually into debugging mode. I've even downloaded and properly installed the SDK files and still it hangs. I think my phone is completely toast now. Is there any hope for it?

If I remember, you said you have a 32-bit Mac. Correct? Did you rename the delete the "fastboot.osx" file and rename "fastboot.osx32" to "fastboot.osx"

Yeah, I did rename the sh files and the directory soi it could be accessed on terminal. I've successfully gotten the utility to open in command prompt, but it keeps on hanging after a few lines of commands.

How long did it hang? Some of the files take a few minutes to flash, like webtop and preinstall

Each hang was lasting over ten minutes. Once I pulled the plug. Another time I waited it out until my battery eventually ran out of juice.

What was the last line it displayed before the hang?

Each hang was a different one. Once it tested the screen twice, other times once. Off-hand it's stopped on bootloader, adm and erm.

Could you get a screenshot of where it hangs?

It does it in parts, not "hangs"
If it hands then you are running low on RAM. Try closing unnecessary programs

Im not sure what adm and erm are. These 2 screenshots are of my last successful flash of fastboot files. These are on a Linux system, but the commands being ran are exactly the same.

This has stayed this way for clear over twenty minutes.

All of the files look good. I would try with a different USB Port and different USB Cable (possible communication disruption) or, as Batman stated, you may be low on RAM. 4Gb of RAM is optimal, as a rule of thumb. Yes, it usually can run with less, but you can run into issues. Closing all non-essential programs could help.

OK, I'll try and do as you say, but did anyone catch the part where I said i think that my flash hung up the first try and not I cant't even get the backup to work. So now I can't even push my device into debugging mode from the OS.

I seem to be stuck at the welcome screen after using the process in the number 1 option.
'Please wait, this may take a few minutes.'

Thanks to Nattybee:
'Turn phone on, when you see the Android guy DO NOT TOUCH
Then, starting with the top left corner of the screen, touch each corner of the screen clockwise (top left, then top right, then bottom right, then bottom left)
At this point you should get a FC for setup...then you should get a box asking if you're sure you want to exit setup- YES- then you should get to the screen that tells you which parts of setup you completed (except none will be checked) click OK. '

Problem solved.

If you arent able to successfully complete a fastboot flash, you will not be able to boot into the OS. You may be able to flash the one file it last stopped on manually and be able to boot up by typing "sudo fastboot.osx flash mbr ./files/mbr" ,without the quotes, from a terminal inside the ./files folder to fix that unfinished flash file. However, if the flash has stopped in different areas, you may have several unfinished flash commands. If you have any access anywhere to a PC, at this point I would suggest downloading mattlgroff's Windows Version of the Utility at

and the correct drivers onto a ThumbDrive, and running the Utility on a PC to get your phone back to stock. I am more than willing to help you through this, but after some testing today, I believe the issue you are having is in fact RAM related as mattlgroff suggested. The Mac I have been testing on has 4Gb of RAM, and I took one of the 2Gb sticks out and had similar flashboot freezes as you seem to be having.
