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

even if i try flash another recovery, zip or anything from fastboot. From recovery i can flash rom but it don't start.
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

TWRP recovery? If so flash a stock based ROM in there so you don't need to flash kernel, try virtuous g lite

TWRP fail, fastboot signature fail, after rebootRUU and flash zip vision.zip also signature
TWRP said, assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "

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

Sounds good, just let me know if you want to try and fix your phone later on. The boot from SD is kinda a last resort but if your OK with it

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

[Q] I messed up

I was try to take my phone to as close to stock as possible but didn't have a stock recovery. I was trying to get s-off through sunshine but when i tried to go back to stock i downloaded an ing file from here and installed it using flashify and i am assuming it was the wrong one. Now all i get is the red triangle on start up. How do I flash a recovery using a mac or could some one direct me to a video?

forgot
also i was rooted and unlocked if that makes a difference. I was using twrp and viper one rom.

Get fastboot and adb. Download newest twrp img file. Boot to bootloader and click fastboot. Load terminal on Mac and navigate to directory with fastboot and img.
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
Pm me if you need more help.

how do i do that without being able to get in to twrp?

fastboot flash or boot TWRP

Help with rooting etc

So I am about to sunshine the phone and get S-OFF, I've never owned an HTC before this and am used to samsung methods, IE odin. What do I need to do once I get s-off? I read here and there about downgrading firmware so I can actually install roms and such, but what do I do if I am on sense 6 with 4.4.2?

Use sunshine to s-off unlock then you can flash a custom recovery from the hboot (bootloader). Then flash a custom Rom or flash super su zip if you want stock Rom through custom recovery.

Will I need to downgrade anything since I am on the latest OTA?

nope sunshine was updated to work with the latest OTA.

An incredibly easy way to do it is to just use the WinDroid tool somebody posted in the development section. It does everything with one click.

It will not unlock the Verizon HTC one bootloader. Verizon ordered HTC to not allow our cid be unlocked via htcdev. We have to use the s-off exploits to unlock also.
This means WinDroid will not do everything.
Although it will aid in installing custom recovery and flashing Rom.

[Q] Applying VM 816/a5_chl OTA update to rooted phone

There has been an OTA update pushed to VM 816s for about a month or so. I know that normally we cannot apply this to rooted devices because of the tampered flag being set off and not running the stock recovery. Is there any way beyond running RUU and getting to complete stock to apply the update? If not, does anyone know how you can extract update from an updated phone?
Sent from my HTC Desire 816 using XDA Free mobile app

Unroot through the SuperSU app and reflash the stock recovery.

Please Delete. I screwed up and double posted.

I tested this last night, you don't need to re-lock the bootloader. Just unroot, flash stock recovery, and apply the update. No need to lose data.

can't get it to work

Hmm.... I updated via OTA and I looked at the version number.
I used the RUU and looked at version number and they were both the same though.

Can I reroot after update

For some reason it's being a pain and not allowing me to install the update. When I flash the recovery and attempt to boot into it to for a system update, all I get is a red triangle with an exclamation point through it

The easiest way is to use the "flashing firmware without the panic attacks" thread and update your firmware. Then simply flash a Lollipop ROM.
Again, that's the simplest way. The hard way is to return to stock, stock recovery, have no system changes and see if you can OTA update.

could also flash a RUU if feeling adventurous

How I can flash lollipop on my HTC one? Can you guide me or share some useful link for installation.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app

I told you already... Post 2 .
Use this guide to update your firmware
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/development/firmware-flashing-panic-attacks-t2824048
Then flash Lollipop based rom. If you like stock, try Maximus HD. It's very close to stock.
?

Or, look for your stock recovery here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701376
And flash it. Bug your system must be in tact. If you've uninstalled any system apps, or have xposed, then you need to look for your stock nandroid and flash it.... Then the stock recovery.
Or as said above, find the RUU for your device. Your current version will restore you stock, then ota will work. Or the Lollipop ruu if it's available yet.
