You have to relock first, then you can downgrade.

I tried that, since I already have a custom recovery I can't boot into it if I lock

S-off is not root. Misc_version is failing because you need root to edit the misc partition.

Flash superuser in recovery http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip it will give you root access.

Make sure you obtain root permission by typing your commands while in shell mode I.e.

adb shell
su
/data/local/tmp/misc_version -s 2.18.605.3
exit
exit

So if I have the SuperSU app I'm rooted?

Edit: made it past that part, now I'm getting this error

It should be plain to see that RUUfastboot is the wrong command. Just type fastboot flash zip <name of zip file>

Edit: you also should lock your bootloader if you haven't already. As stated in a previous post.

Yes, "fastboot oem lock" then "fastboot flash zip RUU..."
Oh, and how did you get past the part you were stuck on?

What does "fastboot getvar mainver" give you?

Try redownloading and flashing the RUU again, make sure you relocked.

What files are contained within your RUU?

Pretty much everything, it is an RUU

The question was directed at the OP. An RUU is an exe file from which the Rom.zip could be extracted and flashed if for whatever reason, is necessary. The OP did not provide any link or reference to the file being used and an error is being displayed when attempting to flash it, so obviously something is wrong. At this point I can only assume it's an exe file that's been incorrectly named as a zip file and should be run on the PC, a zip file which contains the PXXXIMG.zip file and needs to be extracted, or a corrupt download.

If it's the latter, the OP should consider re downloading an actual RUU http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a....01.0622_NV_VZW1.92_release_200325_signed.exe

He's using my guide, which uses a zip with everything needed in it, including the RUU zip. It can't hurt to try a redownload though. I think the problem is he didn't relock it.

You're probably right about not relocking. I haven't seen your guide, do you have an md5sum for your zip file?

Yeah, first step is to md5 just about everything.

Yeah just looked it up now, nice guide. Was wondering why you need to flash the ruu and then a radio after that?
