This file is not encrypted and is for S-Off users only! I posted an RUU mode flashable TWRP file at the bottom of this post... but if you would like to use an app like flashify to flash your own custom recovery that will work too right out of the box as this RUU is ROOTED! Also, HTC preloaded some image files for the "stickers" in the duo effects camera. They are preloaded to /data/preload so you can either flash the zip at the bottom of the second post or manually copy them over to that directory.
OPTION 1)
Rename download file to 0P3PIMG.zip. Make sure you use an SD card formatted to fat32!! (otherwise the phone might not see it) Place file on physical SD card (not internal phone memory)... i repeat physical SD card. Boot up phone to bootloader mode and the phone will auto-detect the file and prompt to install it. Follow any remaining prompts to allow the RUU to flash the software to your phone.
-or-
OPTION 2)
Download file into working fastboot directory. Boot phone to fastboot mode and connect to pc. Type in the following commands.
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip vzw.t6.3.08.605.1.0P3PIMG.zip
first time you run this it will be short... so run it a second time
fastboot flash zip vzw.t6.3.08.605.1.0P3PIMG.zip
The command prompt output will show you details as it flashes each partition and will show you when it has completed. At this time the green bar on the phone will appear 99% of the way across the screen.. Completely normal!~ Issue the next command to kick it out of RUU mode or optionally flash the custom recovery TWRP if you intend to root/flash custom roms and THEN issue the below command to get out of RUU mode.
fastboot reboot
(note) if you just want to reboot back to bootloader you can issue the command fastboot reboot-bootloader This will allow you to boot directly to recovery and start flashing/rooting fun.
NOTE.... VZW does not allow bootloader unlocking and since you must have root to use @scotty1223 's command you will need to flash a custom recovery and root the the stock rom.
Actually it would not be. Sense six has extra files to flash with. I already get questions about which all files need to be flashed. Adding more to the list/thread would only complicate things. This way, you know which version ruu you are getting by the thread you are in. Also, you have the difference between encrypted and decrypted which also dictates which users can actually use them.

True, speaking of which what exactly is the difference between encrypted versus decrypted? I never had success with encrypted but the decrypted worked.. thanks

So the encrypted ones come straight from HTC and will not be rooted. They will be encrypted and signed. That means an s on user can use it as long that ruu is at the same version (or newer) than what they have currently. S on users will need to be locked to use the ruu. S on users cannot use a decrypted ruu at all.
S off users can use both types and do not have to be locked to flash. For my two latest ones, they fall into the decrypted state as only s off users can use them. They are slightly different than a decrypted straight from HTC in that I have them prerooted. Does that help?

Awesome stuff man thanks! It ran no problem. I was so excited to update that I didn't realize that it would wipe my internal storage so I lost everything which sucks but I guess that means I get to have fun redownloading everything. Lol

Make sure you install and setup the new HTC backup app. It works great to prevent this from happening. It only works on sense 6+ so it wouldn't have saved you this time but going forward it would.
