please help me breathe life into my n9 one more time(also what the hell is the security faliure thingy)

also note my original firmware was pr003 witch still gives the same warning

I'm only a novice, but I see "Downgrade Disallowed" at the end of the log. That might be the only problem.
You can only flash the same firmware or upgrade (incrementing numbers; 001, 002......), you may never be able to downgrade. Chinese firmware is generally avoided since it imposes added restrictions to future flashing.

Edit: if your going from 003 to 005 and get errors, you may need to use '003 firmware' to flash cmt (see recovering from flash errors).

still can i go from 001 to 005? as i had that at the time of flashing (and yes i did do i downgrade once from 003 to 001 and suprisingly it did work then and now it wont)

guess ill try the 001 again

No, you cannot downgrade from 003 to 001 with normal tools.

are there other tools that can flash a n9?

also any way to cold flash the n9?

ok so i figured somestuff out is it possible to upgrade from 006 to 009 and then from 009 to 001?(while staying on pr1.3 as i cant appear to find any other firmware variant)

Two possible ways:
