Weaksauce vs rumrunner [SOLVED]

okay, first please calm down, you're phone is just fine, and will work, stop rushing things and relax (otherwise you're going to end up doing something wrong!!)
in bootloader, you use fastboot not adb to flash twrp 2.6.3.3
trust me, in bootloader adb will never work, only fastboot commands (and you use fastboot commands to flash recovery)
EDIT: and the command prompt output i posted above should be clear enough to follow
I am trying to be calm. Followed your instructions and worked. Hey I even used MD5. I had to use 2.7 though as the link you gave me didn't work. I now have access to twrp.
What do I need to do next?!
please go back and get twrp 2.6.3.3 as mentioned above; the 2.7 series (possibly with the exception of 2.7.1.2) are buggy

Done.
What next?
(the reason I was panicking is because I lost a hard drive, then a back up hard drive, last week with 8 years of professional photography work on. I have since had to send it off for recovery and it is costing £540 in total with no guarantee. I could replace this phone on the insurance but it would be an additional £125. Then to top it all off, I am expecting a call today about a 'winter' job, so that's why I panicked. Sorry)
Never do anything while panicked, that is the number one reason for real bricks. You'll have it up and running shortly.
Check MD5 of the ROM you have, if it's ARHD 31.6 the MD5 should be: B4EDA0171BF3BFED779C2107EF6C6F76
Thank you so much for helping me with this. ARHD 31.6 is downloading. Says half hour.
I am guessing I will flash the rom using fastboot?
no not using fastboot, using twrp (we'll get to that), but i thought you already have the/a rom downloaded?
I am redownloading it since the md5's don't match. I deserve to have messed my phone up for not using md5's
ah, bad md5 = not good file. i always use a download manager (it helps a lot), except for sites that don't work with them (such as the site twrp is on).
since it's downloading, can I recommend you read point E here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53270352&postcount=21
that's how you're going to get the rom to your phone, so you can install it using twrp
Sideload is under advanced > adb sideload in twrp?
Then once I am installed, erase cache and reboot?
Then return to the s-off with firewater and carry on with the guide...?
Thank you so much for helping me.
yes if you want to use sideload, then you go to advanced and start sideload
if you type "adb devices" it will come back with your serial number followed by "sideload"
then adb sideload <name of file>.zip
once the installer starts, go through it, and select "wipe userpartition" (<- important, otherwise you may have apps crashing), once it's finished installing twrp will give you an option to "wipe cache & dalvik" and then reboot system.
first bootup will take about 10 to 20mins, so don't worry about that
PS: the 20mins is slightly exaggerated

It is all loaded and working fine. I can't find developer options in settings though to turn on usb debugging. :/
Edit - its ok I forgot about the tapping build number to get it up

Settings -> About -> Software information -> More

I can't get the tampered off.
I used both methods, copying and pasting the blue commands.
Then I tried Guru Bootloader reset.
I still have tampered but I am now locked.

I'll be back later

Thank you so much!!!
Tampered is now gone. Says locked still too.
Completely back to original stock and just did my first OTA.
Do you have a paypal so I can send you, say $10?
you're welcome, thanks for the offer, but you go ahead and enjoy a cold beer
can you also edit main thread title to include [SOLVED], thanks
edit the first post -> at the bottom of the edit window, click Go Advanced, and then you can edit main title

start by posting a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n), and what ROM are you running?1
@nateboi81 is right, your only options are:
a) sunshine (costs $25) on stock rom
or
b) firewater (free) on rooted ROM (and possibly bulletproof kernel)
if firewater gives you "whelp this sucks, etc" error then only sunshine will work1
Any recommendations on what should be written better?
I have mirrors of many of the files, for you (once s-off), you can use ruu.zip method using this ruu.zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407584993
install a custom ROM, i've heard that ARHD 31.6 should work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
then try firewater
EDIT: or if you don't wanna waste time, just use sunshine (it costs $25, but definitely works, whereas firewater only has a limited chance)1
