Re: why cant i flash back from windows mobile 10 to wp8.1

There are two recovery apps to go back to WP 8.1. One is the newly named Windows Software Recovery program. It's for all WP devices I believer. I found it very hard to go back to 8.1 on my htc one M8 but finally got it to work. It takes time and patience.

The second option is the Lumia Recover app. It works for all Lumia devices and works really well.

Choose this one if you are using a Lumia/Nokia phone.

Hope this helps.

My best guess is that there is a "connection" problem between your mobile and your PC. I would suggest to try another USB cable or another USB port on your PC.
