You can't without S-OFF
and as i understood there is no S-OFF till now,right?
unlock the bootloader and flash it should work i think extract the kernel from the file and flash it seperatly from fastboot.
That is correct
what is kernel? how can i find it?

Doesn't work. Without S-OFF you CANNOT flash another stock ROM
You can flash custom ROMs, though, with an unlocked bootloader

so best is to install a custom rom now, then flash a stock ruu?
or is there a way to install ruu from recovery or bootloader?
and where could I find the latest froyo ruu for europe?

Install HTC sync (to get drivers), download the stock ruu (which you'll find in the parent thread) and connect your phone, then run the program. Done.
you can flash a stock ruu from fastboot mode if you have no rom on your device
Can't install the ruu's from the topic in development.,
got hboot 0.93.001.
can't find a ruu for that =(
have you tried flashing a PB99IMG.zip?
haven't found a good one yet.

relock your botloader with supervisor, install stock recovery, and then flash stock rom from hboot.
Hi,
I need help. I did an ota update from htc to improve battery performance on my rooted phone. Now the phone is not rooted anymore. I'm still on stock ics rom, how do I reroot the phone again? Do I just follow the same procedures when I rooted it the first time? Thanks in advance for any help.
Performing the OTA update will cause boot loops with most of the custom roms such as CM10 and AOKP. To successfully run a custom rom you should revert to an older RUU then reroot the phone and choose the custom rom of your choice. Here is a link to the older RUU you need to be able to run most of the custom roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094373
if you have relocked the bootloader,u have to unlock it again.for this,place the Unlock_code.bin file u received from htc for unlocking ur bootloader the first time in the fastboot folder.(or the platform-tools folder,whichever u have).then boot into bootloader and go to fastboot.then connect phone to pc.then just flash the token using-
fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
select yes on ur screen,ur bootloader is now unlocked.
now flash a custom recovery by placing the recovery_name.img in the fastboot/platform-tools folder and flash it using-
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
once recovery is flashed,flash this zip in recovery-

I'm still on the ROM the phone came with. I did not install any custom ROM after I rooted it first time. Do I reroot by doing the same procedures like I did the first time? i.e. unlock bootloader through HTC dev and use primo superboot to root.

yes
edit:just flash the zip i linked you to in recovery after flashing the recovery.u can also do the superboot way but this is more simple...

Great! Thanks for the help, I will give it a go.
I tried with locking my bootloader and flashing this zip through RUU mode,but it says verification fail.
Do I need to flash this through stock recovery or what?

usually , you just need a locked bootlaoder, but you can try to flash a stock recovery and see what happens. Also, maybe the ROM is not exactly suitable for your variant.
I haven't heard anyone flashing Roms from htcdev. why do you wanna do that?
Because I want a stock LP but I can't find the right firmware so WiFi doesn't work
Sent from my D816w
i have a t-mobile version of htc one m8 but when flashing ROMs , i flash international version of the ROM which i'm flashing. The phone is sim-unlocked.
Lately i'm having problem of my phone getting stuck on boot and only way out is wipe cache and dalvik on every time i reboot. And also GPS is not working (tried every fix but no avail) I'm guessing his is some firmware problem.
So the thing is I want to get back to Android 4.4.4 version ( on which it was earlier before i flashed any Lollipop rom , so that i could flash T-mobile's OTA to Lollipop back ( for firmware update ) and after reading and some research , i have understood that i have to be stock recovery and relock the bootloader and get T-mobile RUU ( very confused about RUU thing)
Could someone confirm if this is the correct procedure and explain what steps i need to follow IN ORDER to get this done ( and if links to corresponding guides i will be really helpful) .
I AM S-ON.
Hboot - 3.19
Radio - 1.22.213311491.08G
Please help , really frustrated by these issues and apparently previous threads of mine have gone unanswered.
Unfortunately, if you want to revert to KK (or any older version), you will have to be S-off to do so. So, pay the $25, get S-off (which will helpfully unlock your bootloader at the same time), run T-Mobile RUU for desired version.
However, even if you are S-on, you should be able to use a current or newer RUU to get the firmware up to date, then move on to installing the ROM of your choice. You are probably better off going to the latest firmware and running an alternate ROM, but that's just me.

So if i were to follow S-on steps , i will have to first flash stock recovery , relock bootloader and run t-mobile RUU for firmware upgrade ?
When i relock bootloader everything will be wiped , right ?
So i connect my phone to pc with relocked bootloader and stock recovery and run t-mobile latest RUU on windows ?
Is this the correct procedure?

That is all true; except you do not need to install stock recovery to RUU.
Stock recovery is only needed to OTA, not for RUU.
