Fastboot.exe has stopped working. - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im trying to root my HTC One M8 and am in the process of unlocking bootloader via the HTCDEV website (http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions). I Have.....
booted the phone into fastboot
downloaded the fastboot binary
save it fastboot.exe to c:\fastboot
opened cmd and navigated to c:\fastboot and typed 'fastboot oem get_identifier_token'
as soon as i press return windows gives me an error message that fastboot.exe has stopped working.
Any ideas how to fix this issue??

[Q]getting error 152 on RUU?

Hey guys!
while running the RUU instalation I get an error 152, some update error thing.
phone wont boot to recovery, all I have is the blakc screen with silver HTC logo and I have no idea what to do
any ideas?
Okay, run the RUU again but this time don't click next, instead:
Go to C:/Users/(Yournamehere)/AppData/Local/Temp
- search for "rom.zip" file
Copy it to your fastboot folder
Remember to relock your device before running an RUU! To do this from the HTC screen, type: "fastboot reboot-bootloader" and then
type 'fastboot oem lock'. To go back to the HTC logo, type: 'fastboot oem rebootRUU'
Then, on the HTC screen, use fastboot to flash the rom.zip file: "fastboot flash zip rom.zip"
This might take awhile and might fail once, but be patient and try again if it fails
After installation it most likely won't appear to do anything and in that case, type: "fastboot reboot"
But for now, the phon doesnt count as bricked?
And btw, fastboot commands will work whn im on the black slove htc screen? My recovery isnt openning...

Nope, as the screen is on. A brick is when you get no response from any of the buttons, even in combination

HELP In fastboot

Ok so i tried going back to stock and used a toolkit for mac but it didn't work, I mean everything seemed to flash ok but got stuck waiting in the bootloader for about 30 minutes and nothing happened. Im now trying to flash the image-razor-kot49h which is 4.4.2 for flo and placed it in a folder called platform tools from the adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/sdk. Once I open terminal and bring this folder as the directory by cd command, i then try ./adb devices and it shows no device as connected. I read somewhere that i need to enable usb debugging option in developer settings but i cant access it since I am stuck in fastboot. the toolkit flashed stock recovery over twrp so i cant even flash a different rom. I tried using the toolkit again and its strange that it is able to detect my device. I guess my only option is to flash the stock images but my computer cant detect my device HELP ANYONE PLEASE.
Try fastboot devices instead of adb devices. I don't think adb works in fastboot mode.

The fastboot binary has to be in your PATH.

Cannot load Unlock_code.bin

I'm trying to unlock the bootloader on my htc Desire 816 on my Windows 10 PC. I go through the whole process on HTCdev and get the unlock token but the cmd prompt isn't loading it for some reason idk why. I put the Unlock_code.bin file in the same folder as my fastboot app. and this is what I type into cmd prompt - C:\Users\Jennifer\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
this is what it gives me
error: cannot load 'Unlock_code.bin'
Am I missing something here?

Don't know where to place Unlock_code.bin

I downloaded the 15 Second ADB/Fastboot installer, and i got my bootloader token, but when i try "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" in cmd it wont let me pull anything up. I'm using Vista btw
Put the unlock_code.bin file in the same folder as the fastboot.exe you are executing.
