Signature Verification Fail in flashing any Blackrose Hboot - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I attempted to flash ICS rom for my N1 and I know installation of Blackrose is required.
I attempted to use Blackrose.exe but it doesn't work, then I trun to flash the cutsome hboot by manual in command prompt.
But the problem is I get the signature verfiication failed when I tried to flash any hboot_xxxxx.nb0 files by fastboot.
I have searched some relevant threads but no clear solution was found. (Some threads have posted the similar question but all the replies are problem solved without clear explanation.)
Any anybody can advise me ? How can I pass the signature verification in fastboot ?

Are you using RA recovery? While in recovery, select Flash zip from SD card, then select Toggle signature verification to turn off

You can't just flash "improper" HBOOT from fastboot, even if you have unlocked bootloader. HBOOT is still protected. There's a procedure that's needed to flash it, some script, I don't remember exactly what. Please look it up.

taodan: It is not the problem in the recovery, I can't write on the "hboot" in the bootloader
Jack_R1: Yes, that's I wanted to find out......

Try this if you haven't--of course nandroid first
Download latest Blackrose to PC and extract it
Open it and go to the binary folder
Copy the two files below to you fastboot.exe folder. Mine is in tools of my SDK
Do following
1) Boot into fastboot mode on your device, and plug it in to your computer.
2) Boot the exploit: fastboot boot go2.lol
3) Flash the modified hboot: fastboot flash hboot hboot_blackrose.nb0
You need to reboot your bootloader (fastboot reboot bootlloader) and check that it shows Blackrose installed and s-off
You still need to modify the hboot to ICS partition sizes, I use splhexeditor

Also, what rom are you coming from. BR won't install over Sense roms
Somewher in thread dev mentions that if you can't install by selecting bootloader unlocked try locked and see if it works. Forget where that was and for what problem it was for.

Thanks a lot ! I can flash ICS rom now !!!

Developer Edition-Back to stock

I have the developer edition and am going to return it. I downloaded the latest 4.3 DE ROM off of HTC's website. Can I just flash this in recovery?
Obviously, don't care about re locking the bootloader as it ships unlocked.
Thank you!
Nothing to do with recovery, you flash it in fastboot mode
1. fastboot oem rebootRUU
2. fastboot flash zip name_of_zip_file.zip - e.g. fastboot flash zip rom.zip - if you're using the ROM ZIP from HTCDev (PN07IMG_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.22.1540.1.zip)
3. Once it says to flush and try again do exactly the same command again without rebooting or anything - e.g. fastboot flash zip rom.zip
4. Once finished, fastboot reboot
OR
1. Connect phone in fastboot mode (make sure PC recognises it)
2. Run the RUU from HTCDev - RUU_M7_UL_JB43_SENSE50_MR_BrightstarUS_WWE_3.22.1540.1.exe
I'm assuming you're S-OFF at the moment? It shouldn't matter if not but it helps

Going to try the RUU exe route. Thank you.
So, I am on the same boat here. I actually have sold my device on eBay and want to send it to the buyer with 4.3 on it. I am on Viper Rom 2.5.0.64 with Android 4.2.2 on it. I have the developer edition, I do not have it S-OFF and I just ran the .exe file but got an error at some point. I will re-run it and see if I get a different result.

I got the same error. screen showed fastboot usb, everything seemed to be working and then I got an error message.
I am S-On.
So, i got it done.
Per this article - http://www.androidayos.com/2013/09/28/download-htc-one-developer-edition-4-3-stock-ruu-3-22-1540-1/
you need to have the bootloader LOCKED first to be able to run the .exe successfully. I re-locked the bootloader via Hasoon2000's HTC One All in One Toolkit. You can find his toolkit over here on xda, just google it or something.
I now have a 4.3 Android bootloader locked,etc...

I have the toolkit but not able to lock the bootloader. I keep getting a "not found" error.
Ok, now i have a really big problem. I managed to relock the bootloader. Everything appeared to be going fine. Then I got the failed error. Exclamation point in each corner. I followed the RUU tool's instructions but it wont get off that screen. I have tried holding down power, the screen goes dark and then I get the same screen.
Any help????
You can just do it through fastboot
fastboot oem lock
If you're S-OFF you don't have to be locked which is why I didn't mention it before

[Q] Possibly bricked? It would be awesome if someone could help

Hi Xda
Forgive me for what you are about to read, as I have carried out some dumb ### noobness:
I was running Sinless 5.1Gpe rom (great rom) anyways I wanted to return to a sense based rom so decided to go for ARHD 40.2 fter reading a number of posts mentioning doing a complete wipe of the phone including SDCARD. I checked the process of pushing via adb and all seemed simple enough.
I initially did a test and it pushed the file, so then i carried out the complete wipe (no OS, no rom on sd card to flash). I then tried to push the rom and it failed. I tried a number of different ways sideload too.
I managed to get the rom to push in the end using the lastest TWRP of which it would not allow me to do rom failed to flash...
Now this is the stupid part, TWRP became unresponsive, and every time I tried to boot into recovery it would kick me out to the spash screen and bootloop. I did the fastboot erase cache without any success.
I managed to switch to CWM but could not mount anything so came across a post about switching to stock....This is the really stupid part. I flashed a stock recovery and also I now have a relocked bootloader.
Is this phone now bricked??
I have fastboot available
I am S-off
I can boot into stock recovery (Red triangle)
I cannot use ADB (device not recognised)
I cannot re unlock bootloader (tried twice and failed) - I will try again as it got to 4am and had to be up for work at 6am.
Any help really really apreciated.
Many thanks
Mick

if you have s-off you should flash back a custom recovery:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter RECOVERY, and adb should be working again,
use this to unlock your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2475914
there's also a handy Guru Bootloader Reset (flashable zip): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2527194
but it needs either CWM 6.0.3.2+, or TWRP 2.6.3.3+ to work.
or even "revone -u"

If you can get to the stock recovery press volume up then power button and quickly release both buttons and you should be in stock recovery. From here you should be able to follow any of the posted steps to flash a RUU back to pure stock.

Hey thanks for your response
I cant flash custom recovery the error i get is similar to trying to unlock.(above)
I cannot also use that thread because I cannot access adb (even though my phone recognises fastboot in device manager, when I go to what is now stock recovery is disappears from device manager)
I have no OS so cannot open up emulator for revone.

You're getting "cannot load"? That just means the filename is wrong, as simple as that. If ur on Windows, check for .img.img (double extension)

I now have an unlocked bootloader
I have also now flashed CWM 6.0.4.5 however I still do not have adb available. The difference now is fastboot is recognised in device manager as before but when I boot into CWM instead of it dissapearing, it moves to 'other devices' one (with yellow exclamation) I know it did this before because of drivers not being installed/recognised but I have htc sync manager installed which in theory has installed the drivers??!
Anything else I can try without adb?
Again many thanks for your assistance, I see you in a number of threads helping people...top bloke!
Further update
I downgraded my hboot back to 1.55 and now TRWP is now functioning, I have now pushed a rom to the phone, however flash fails due to "unable to mount to internal storage"
Is there a fix for this?

I suggest that you downgrade to Hboot 1.44, keep the bootloader locked and run the 1.28.401.7 RUU to be completely stock. Then its up to you whether you re staying stock or flashing sth custom.

Yes there is a fix. Install stock recovery. Go to bootloader and select factory reset. It will go to stock recovery and do it's thing and should go into a Bootloop . install custom recovery you should be good
Hi All
Just a quick note, to say all back up and running, thanks for all the respondants who helped.
I wanted add how i got it up and running, so if anyone has similar issues they can use it:
I believe the biggest culprit was the newest Firmware and TWRO 2.3.3.3 in which it did not want to load.
I downgraded by Hboot to firmware 3.xxx and then flashed TWRP 2.3.3.0 and it let me in instead of kicking me out to a bootloop.
I then had access to ADB sideload, which did not work for me in the 1st instance that led me to my problem, This i believe was due to not having the lastest SDK.(upgrade this).
Make sure the Rom you are pushing works well for that downgraded firmware i.e. a solid 4.3 based rom in my case.
Also to note I wiped my external SD card and was unable to mount this to flash, let TWRP sort this by doing a factory reset prior to flashing.
Hope this helps anyone who experienced similar symptoms to me.

your recovery version is pretty out dated.
as i said before, don't use toolkit, you know why now...
download latest twrp recovery here
Code:
fastboot flash recovery <name_of_file>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
then go back in recovery and flash the rom again and select full wipe.

np, glad it worked
hope you learned this:
don't use toolkit
don't rush
newer roms don't like old recoveries (especially 4.4 roms) So in the future be sure to update your recovery to latest version (or that one specified in the rom thread) before flashing.
hope you'll enjoy your new rom :highfive:

that's not your fastboot getvar all, however, the most important part is there which is your OS number, 5.16.161.2 is Vodafone, there is no RUU for your device, do you not have a backup ? how did you brick ?

well as your s-on, you can forget about any RUU's at all for now.
I would recommend you flash twrp recovery, use 2.6.3.3 and then erase cache, then reboot bootloader (see commands below).
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
after that go into twrp recovery and select wipe then format data, this will completely wipe your phone of everything, but as its already messed up then it doesn't really matter, does it.
once that is done, download a sense rom from the development section and try and push it to your internal sdcard, if successful then flash it.

adb push it straight to the sdcard, make sure your phone is plugged into the computer and the rom is in the same folder as adb and fastboot files, then issue this command:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
it will look like its not doing anything but will let you know when its done, then uplug your phone before flashing the rom.
and both TWRP and CWM have their good points, you need CWM to flash AOSP rom's and TWRP to flash sense rom's

Strangely this is exactly the position I'm in today too.
I wanted to revert to stock after trying cyanogen, relocked the bootloaded and tried to run an RUU. However it stopped with an 'unknown error'. So I tried to push a zip file to it but the adb can't connect to the device and the phone isn't showing up in the device manager (because it's in boot mode?).
I then tried your advice about twrp and tried a different RUU but still get an unknown error and still can't push to the device.
Any ideas of what to try next? My OS is now showing as empty, there was something there previously.
I figured it was time to get some help before I broke things any more.

first thing to do is unlock your bootloader again, if you've not already done that, then get TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery on there, that maybe a problem though as your phone isn't showing in device manager.
So put your phone into the bootloader and see what device manager says then, it should say something if its detecting your phone, even if drivers arnt installed.
also, which HBOOT are you on ? and which Windows OS are you using ?

I think I've unlocked the bootloader again, fastboot is available and it's showing 'unlocked' at the top. twrp is on there too and I've done the wipe again. The fastboot commands work but pushing doesn't
error: device not found
HBOOT is 1.55.0000 / win7 64 home
Btw Twrp said it couldn't find cache but the wipe was successful.
Thanks for the help.

ok I see what your saying now, what you need to do is boot into TWRP, main screen only, no sub menu's, at that point is your phone still detected in device manager ?
if so then............
put the rom you want to flash in the same folder as adb and fastboot files on your computer, then type:
Code:
adb push (name of rom).zip /sdcard/
you cant push files to your phone using fastboot or whilst its in the bootloader, that's strictly for flashing simple files like Radio's, HBOOTS, recoveries.

Well at least I've got something in the device manager even if it is a SAMSUNG Android Phone and not my HTC!
The push command hasn't brought up an error, the cursor is just flashing on the next line. It appears to be doing nothing like you said. So I guess I'm playing the waiting game for ten minutes or so. Will there be a notification when it's completed?

Hello everyone, im new to these forums (and new to android) so nice to meet you all!

FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
after some surfing on the forums i found out that i need S-OFF... and mine is S-ON but i cant seem to get if off,

you dont need s-off, however, if you want s-off it would be advised whilst your on a low HBOOT before you update, but thats a different story.
your re-locked, so do you know if it has a custom recovery on it, or a custom rom, or is it 100% stock, to be sure, unlock your bootloader, because if it is running anything custom, it wont boot with a re-locked bootloader, unlock here:
http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader
just follow the instructions and report back when done, it will give you some adb and fastboot files, keep those, you'll need them and will also teach you how to use them if you dont know. :good:

what you need to do is flash TWRP 2.8.5.0 from here: http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-m7.img
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
enter recovery and create a simple backup, just something like the boot, then plug your phone into the computer, whilst its still in recovery mode, that recovery supports MTP so your internal storage should open up on your computer, if it doesnt, you have a driver problem, but if it does, then navigate to TWRP/Backup/Phone serial number/todays date and some other details, delete the backup files out of there and place the files inside this zip in there instead, files only not folders: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712459333
unplug your phone and restore that backup.
once restored, restart your phone and just do a basic setup.
then put this on your internal storage and again boot into recovery mode and flash it: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712459512
once finished, do a full restart of the phone, your now nearly full stock, one last step, your need to flash the firmware which is here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655045066 once downloaded just name it to firmware for ease and put it in the same folder as adb and fastboot on your computer, reboot your phone to the bootloader and lock the bootloader (required to flash firmware as you are s-on), issue these commands.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader[I] (should now say relocked at the top)[/I]
fastboot oem rebootRUU[I] (screen turn black with silver HTC logo)[/I]
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip [I](failed is normal the first time, it will say please flush again) soooooo[/I]
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
[I]as long as it says successful at the end this time your good to go, if not, report back here before the next command, if all is ok then:[/I]
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot reboot
when you restart your phone will be full stock and you should now be able to update, recommended as your firmware is quite old, however, I would recommend before updating that you try and get s-off, for this you will need to use rumrunner s-off tool, you can find it here plus the instructions: http://rumrunner.us/ (you might want to try this after: "once restored, restart your phone and just do a basic setup." before flashing the firmware and preload data part)

to clear those errors, in TWRP recovery select wipe - format data, this will wipe the entire phone, then reboot back into recovery.
The internal storage popping up on your computer only works when you are booted into recovery (main recovery screen only) and only with TWRP recovery 2.8.5.0 or 2.8.4.0.
