You will need to flash kernel through fastboot to run most common ROMs with your current setup, may I suggest to root with gfree, more info here

in fastboot adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/
gave me no device, but if i try to flash kernel via fastboot flash kernel xyz.zip i have a signature error
adb only works in os and recovery, fastboot is when in bootloader
You are best off to root with gfree but at this point you need to return to stock or at least get a working os and downgrade radio, so for now flash a ROM in your recovery and the extract the kernel and flash it in fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img

i've got only ruu.exe for this, i can't find stock rom in .zip file
i forced ruu from fastboot and it fails after sending img in ruu, signature, error 155 in ruu
after next couple tries i've got 130 error, wrong Model ID Error
You don't have superCID so most RUUs won't work, at this point take any ROM, flash it in recovery, extract the kernel from this ROM .zip (boot img) and the use fastboot to flash it
fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will get you a working os
Now you need to follow the guide to downgrade in order to allow gfree to run its exploit as the radio version you have is too high
All this can be found in the thread I linked you to but feel free to ask further questions as well

status on top bootloader is relocked
Can't see your link
You may have ran something that locked your bootloader which will make things very tricky unless you still have a custom recovery. If you don't you will need to fine a ruu that is a newer version than you have now. See the stickies in the Dev section here for vision ruus and use the newest to be flashed through bootloader

Hold on, slow down a bit, don't keep flashing just anything or you could put yourself in a harder place than you are now
So you do have twrp recovery right now correct? And you flashed virtuous g lite and got this error correct? If so let me know, don't do any thing else, and we will find a ROM that will flash that has stock kernel

i want fix it i don't have to, but i really like it and i would like to fix it anyway. I can't make a root and gfree because i've got errors in adb, something about eMMC
That's because your kernel has been manipulated to allow os to run from SD rather than emmc. I don't believe you will be able to use gfree while doing this.
If you want real time help I would suggest going to freenode #g2root
There you will often find people to help you in real time, not to mention some of the most knowledge about the vision

i try on #g2root and nothing. but i know my cid HTC_32, ruu dont start, i dont know what else i can do with it
Well you often need to wait around a while on #g2root or keep trying back if no one is there
What is current info on bootloader screen? Are you still unlocked?
Why not try and flash a ROM ROM through recovery and then use fastboot to flash the kerenl like I mentioned in my first response
Then with a functioning os you can begin the process to root and gain s-off with gfree
i try and won't start. i wait on g2root but one person try to help me and nothing with that
Pm me your Skype Id or some way of messaging you and when I'm @ PC I'll let you know

Hi, I have a Desire Z that keeps restarting itself almost. I can go as far as opening the app drawer before it restarts again. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it or at least recover/backup files from the phone. Can anyone help?
if I flash a custom recovery/root my phone, will that wipe everything on the phone? I am mainly concerned with backing up all my data. The stock recovery shows phone with red triangle, dont know what that means. Please help.

If i remember correctly you can do this by holding down the S button while booting the device.

Tried booting in safe mode, still the same thing. The phone reboots as soon as the launcher is done loading. I think its an issue with either the launcher or there's a conflict in android/sense which is causing a crash. Still trying out different things.
Edit:
Since I have never recieved OTA update for this phone, I believe I'm still on RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28 b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2. I have adb set up, is there a way to confirm I can safely S-OFF/root?
Edit 2:
Did a factory reset - no changes, still rebooting
Edit 3:
Seems like USB debug is not turned on my phone, I tried my gt-i900 and can see it using adb devices but not when i plug in my Desire Z
Edit 4:
While in stock recovery, I have a phone with a red triangle, and adb shows device as offline. At least I can confirm that adb is working with my DZ. Now to figure out how to push files to it
After the factory reset you won't get any of your data back, but you need an os so you can root. Find the latest ruu for your phone and fllash it through fastboot or bootllader as a pc10img

is fastboot the same as adb? for example, when using gfree do i just replace adb push with fastboot push?
Edit: Nvm, figured it out, now I need to find the proper RUU for my phone, which one should i be using?
Edit: Stupid question above, I already mentioned which ruu i was using so I'll try to flash that. brb
Nope, adb is similar to fastboot but different, read my thread on it as if you own any HTC phones (and various others) its a must to learn. You'll find it here in the general section
You will use fastboot not to root but to flash the latest ruu as you need to have adb access and this means you'll need an os that's working.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
This is the command you will run in cmd or terminal but read up on my thread to understand more

I read your thread, very helpful. I had one question though, do i need an oem ruu to run the command fastboot oem rebootRUU? I'm just confused as to whether I need to root first, flash the hboot, or flash the ruu. I also have the stock recovery so when do i flash the cwmr?
1st you need the ruu, I believe nipqer has most on his server found in one of his threads. You will use fastboot to flash this. This will rewrite all your firmware and software and hopefully produce a functional os so you can get adb access
Once this is done, follow the xda wiki to root your phonephone

Finally! Phone boots up and I have adb access. Followed the instructions (ran into some trouble with chmod command returning "Operation not permitted" - had to start all over again with fastboot flash oemRUU) and now I'm rooted. Time to install some custom roms. Thanks demkantor, your fastboot tip and thread got me through this!
I'm glad you're up and running! I suggest to check out my is this a brick thread as it may help know what to look for if you run into trouble in the future
Either way, happy flashing!

Am thinking this Rom might not be completely stock.
edit
it has superSU
So the update is failing because its a stock Rooted rom.. Why would the guy upload a nandroid and call it stock when its not.
Root is not the issue. It updates fine with root acces.
Did you flash the stock recovery after restoring. The recovery from the nand is not the stock one

Whats the method for updating the Hboot without OTA?? never done it before.
Put the phone in the fastboot usb mode. Take the firmware.zip from the ota and put it in the fastboot folder on the pc.
Open the command window and relock the bootloader
Fastboot oem lock
Fastboot oem RebootRUU
Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
Unlock the bootloader and install a clean new rom via a new custom recovery.
I recommend philz 5.15

Hi.I have a little problem with my HTC, i tried to downgrade and root it but after I did everything it still dont working.I tried to flash with many stock roms from cmd, and with RUU.exe, but its still not working.I tried in cmd and at the end its stopped with radio installing at 95% with:status read failed(too many links) and its now always boots up to fastboot mode.
I have hboot version:0.85.000.5, CID is HTC_102.
Can somebody help me pls?
You will need to find the right RUU and flash back to stock, then if you're able to do this you will need to start fresh with the downgrade and root as laid out in the xda wiki, other methods may lead to this outcome

That should be the one, but you currently have a shipped bootloader so in your situation the only thing you can do is flash it via a PC10IMG.zip

is there any CWM Touch or non-touch for KK roms..? because, NeverGone\RU's recovery isnt good, crashing...and cant flash purekat and other some roms...
No, I don't think at present there is any touch CWM that is compatible with KK ROM.
If your touch screen is fine, why don't you use 4EXT.? It's a great recovery.
Also you can try TWRP recovery by demkantor, it also supports KK.

Glad all is working for you Alex, your probably best off to stick with 4ext classic (nontouch) recovery. Then if you want to flash KitKat ROMs you'll just need to edit the updater-script yourself to get things working
I won't be near a PC all day so can't help you do it but just search for guides on xda or Google, not too difficult

ah, okay. if you take the OTA it will wipe /system partition so freezing with TI wont help. if you are s-off you can ruu to the previous build HTC release with sense 5.5,
lock the bootloader and take the OTA but dont return to s-on. From there you will need to unlock the bootloader again, flash the insecure boot.img and then you'll be able to flash a recovery back onto the phone.. once you have the custom recovery, root can be restored with flashing the SU zip in recovery.
Sounds harder than using santods version, does anyone know if I need the firmware and radio updates or can I just flash the rom
