HELP! HTC One will not flash RUU. Stuck on fastboot flash zip ruu.zip

I followed all the directions on relocking and unrooting my One back to factory settings and when I made it to the last step it keeps failing on me.
sending 'zip' (243622 KB)...
OKAY [ 9.533s]

FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 33.051s
That's what it keeps saying to me. What should I do???

Why are you using a zip? Can't you use the exe RUU? Obviously has to be for your CID and MID. Check on androidruu.com if you can find one.

There was no .exe for my version.
I'm on the Sprint 1.31.651.2 version

to flash a RUU.zip you need to be in RUUmode (command: fastboot oem rebootRUU) and you'll need S-OFF.

Are you still on hboot 1.44? Then get S-Off again.

:laugh::good:
IMHO, keep S-Off no matter what, even if you have to return it for warranty (hopefully not) or even sell it. some phones are actually shipped with S-Off and (from what I've read) it's very difficult to say that you "tampered" with your phone because you have s-off. several people (on the posts) have returned their phones to service center for repair, and got them back s-off again. no complaints, unless it said RELOCKED, UNLOCKED, or TAMPERED in the bootloader. S-Off is OK.
now you can go ahead and get it back to stock.

Last time I tried using Sprint 1.31.651.2, now that I am on S-OFF, can I use 1.29.651 version since that is a .exe version instead of a .zip version? I'm also asking this so I can strictly follow QBKING77's tutorial on going back to stock.

Don't know "QBKING77's tutorial", but you can use pretty much any RUU now that you're S-Off. Downgrading is possible thanks to S-Off. Just stick to SPRINT RUUs, ROMs etc, as I understand they (and possibly Verizon) are different from other carriers.
And remember to keep S-Off, that will always allow you to downgrade if needed or flash firmware, etc.

How do you get S-Off after custom ROM
So I'm also getting the "12 signature verify fail" the OP was getting... I don't have (never have had) S-Off. I htcdev unlocked and rooted by AT&T HTC One and put the GPe ROM on it... now I'm trying to go back to stock. Can't run the RUU w/o S-Off apparently, but also apparently can't get S-Off with this ROM? Halp! How do I get out of this situation?

I have tried the 502.12 and 502.15 "cingular" RUU (ZiIPs and EXEs), to no avail.
Can't revone (get "error code = 1" [not -1]), so I can't seem to get S-Off. Moonshine fails in test 2.1 (between reboots basically).
Any ideas?

Have you tried to install viper or ARHD and get S-off again?

Check the date in bootloader; if it's before June 2013, then revone should work. If the date is June or after then it's a patched hboot 1.44, and you need to downgrade before running revone, check this thread it has the downgrade instruction (T-Mob and ATT only): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2431515
and remember you need to be on a Sense 5, 4.1.2 based ROM.

So this is part of what I'm struggling with... It seems I can't get S-Off without being on a Sense 5/4.1.2 ROM, but how can I get that ROM loaded without S-Off? All the "stock" images I've found seem to all be RUUs or otherwise not work with S-On. What am I missing here?

1- first thing, did you check the bootloader date? if it's the patched 1.44 (ie June 2013 or after) then if you do the downgrade (only for ATT and T-Mobile), I think that also includes the ROM.
2- and just to get a Sense 5/4.1.2 based ROM on your phone, you just flash it through custom recovery (any custom or stock ROM will do), if you can't find one I'll PM you a link to one that worked for me, but first check point 1

Thanks nkk71... So yeah, hboot, while v. 1.44, is dated Jul 5, 2013. So it looks like I need to downgrade that. But as you note, that link says I have to be on a stock Sense 5 ROM. I have found a TMO Germany rom, but I haven't yet found an AT&T one.

I just took a quick look at the ATT downgrade guide and the first thing it asks (actually point 3) is to install a nandroid backup, that will put the correct Sense 5 ROM on your phone, no need to go look for one.
Hit the thanks button if I've helped

Score. Thanks so much. I think finding a nandroid backup (and then switching to cwm from twrp) was really the key here. But I'm now all fully restored to stock. Thanks again!!

Can someone link me to a thread or video on how to go to S-off, I don't have any rom installed and I can't go back in to recovery.
Hope I'm not screwed

Had the same problem. You are probably on Android 4.3. and revone works on 4.2.2.
Here's what I did:
-Download any 4.2.2 rom (doesn't matter which one, just needs to be 4.2.2) You can download this: http://llabtoofer.com/2013/08/20/486/
-Make a nanadroid backup.(IMPORTANT if you don't want to lose anything)
-Wipe everything/ factory reset and flash the 4.2.2 rom
-Follow the steps for s-off with revone
-After you get s-off, go to recovery and restore from the nandroid backup
Now you will have s-off and all your data.

1- be careful about the advice you get here, most of us are on M7_U / UL models not Sprint
2- revone only works on hboot 1.44
3- all s-off methods need a booted up rom!! not recovery!!!
4- use http://rumrunner.us/ or http://firewater-soff.com/ to get s-off on hboot 1.54+
5- if you're not sure what you're doing, do a little bit of research first (reading is preferred IMHO, over videos) until you are comfy with what you're doing.

the firewater also didnt work..

1- do you know what s-on / s-off is? and what you can and cannot do with it? and whether you actually need it??

Hi Nkk71,
I got an even bigger problem now.
I was planning on returning my M7 to get the dreaded purple haze camera fixed. Got the GRA from the company already.
I tried to get the device to S-OFF after I got it S-On as the TAMPERED writing appeared again.
I tried revone and it always failed on line 6 ./revone -s 0 -u.
I went to try firewater and it said it couldn't do it and said to reboot.
As i rebooted into a stock rom, I went to Settings, got and error message and it asked if I wanted to send the error to HTC, I clicked no, then it went into a reboot and has been stuck on a WHITE boot screen (HTC One) and won't do anything.
I can't shut it down (tried holding down the power button 2 min+), I can boot into bootloader, I can't do anything either if I put my usb cable in either adb or fastboot, it is really FROZEN !!!!
Have I bricked my phone
I even tried to install the RUU but it failed as it needs to have a working USB connection.
It seems that all I can do is wait til the battery dies naturally.
Any advice ?
After 20 minutes still frozen boot screen. I can see the amber light on behind the speaker screen.

Firstly and most importantly: calm down, take it easy, chill out, and relax.... you are now panicking and starting to rush things!!
Once you've relaxed a bit:
Force reboot: press and hold POWER + VOLDOWN (under a bright light, not kidding!!), after about 5 seconds or so buttons should start blinking, and after 30 seconds or so, the phone will reboot, let go of POWER, but keep holding VOLDOWN to get back to bootloader.
(you may need to try 2 or 3 times to get it right)
and then let's see that "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n)

Should I try the Moonshine S-Off software to try and S-Off the device ?

Is Using GURU Reset Roms same as USING RUU?

Hello. My firmware is 3.62.401.1, my hboot is 1.55 and im S-ON.
I wanna go to completely stock, but don't care about warranty. Since i have to go S-OFF with rumrunner to use RUU, and im afraid i might brick my device i flashed GURU'S REST ROM matching my firmware. Is this the same as using the RUU, or the RUU so to say, flashes it cleaner ?

The Guru reset is not as complete as a true RUU but it is very close, close enough in fact you can take OTA after using it. and after the OTA your are indeed completely stock. The guru reset doesn't update your firmware so yeah it's important that you get the correct Reset to match your current firmware.
if this is the one you used you should be good to go

Thanks, i did install it, but i notice some lag when switching between normal notifications and toggles in the notification shade - is it normal ?
P.S I'm a new One user.
Wiped everything when installed the zip. Was just wondering if it cleans everything properly so the normal perfromance of the phone is achieved or i must play with the RUU.exe .. and S-OFF. I'd like to be completely stock since im sick of modding my phone .. and once i S-OFF i dont know how to S-ON.

1- if you ever decide to go S-Off then DO NOT GO BACK S-ON
2- you are now completely stock (your firmware is 3.62.401.1, and since you dont have s-off it's the official one), and the Guru Reset has put your ROM back to 100% stock -> so performance, etc. is 100% stock
3- you won't get it any different with an RUU (performance and experience)
4- you could try a factory reset, to clean everything and set up your phone from the beginning

Do you think it's worth it to go through the trouble of S-OFF-ing just to use the RUU, or the phone's just fine with the .zip. I'm kinda of perfectionist - i want to do it right and never bother again with flashing and modding?
Thanks again!

you're phone is 100% stock right now; the only advantages of going to S-Off and (eventually) run an RUU is if you need your bootloader to say "LOCKED" as opposed to UNLOCKED/RELOCKED.

It still says that my device's been tempered with, is that normal?

That's a so-so question, in theory it should go away once stock recovery has been installed, but in practice i've seen it sometimes go away and sometimes not, even when 100% stock.

no it won't break anything in firmware, it will just downgrade hboot to allow RUU to work and "fastboot boot <name of recovery>.img" to work.
but if you're on Win8 / 8.1 that's gonna be an issue cause it will likely break fastboot & adb. better to use Win7 WinXP or even Ubuntu Live USB if you can't get your hands on Win7 or XP
EDIT: remember you have to be S-OFF !!!

I just s-offed ! Thanks again mate, i cant really thank you enough for your help!

yeah, you're (very likely) going to have issues with win 8.1, better to get Win7 or an Ubuntu Live USB

, so just temporarily change CID to 11111111
fastboot oem writecid 11111111 <- 8 ones
then do the downgrade hboot, then restore cid
fastboot oem writecid HTC__102
and continue.

[Q] Can't S-ON?

After the struggle of finding a way to revert my Vodafone Australia branded HTC One back to it's former, virgin glory..
I have finally locked the bootloader, set my CID back and got a stock ROM and recovery - thanks to Guru Stock Reset ROMs, which is the closest thing I could get to being stock as there are no available RUU's.
But the last and final hurdle is S-ON. My Googling tells me all it takes is this fastboot command: "fastboot oem writesecureflag 3"
But when I throw that in a command prompt, all I get is an error:
(bootloader) partition hboot signature error
(bootloader) writesecureflag: partitions siganture failed
OKAY [ 1.624s]

Damn dude, how far am I from a brick? :S
and you are absolutely correct, I completely forgot about my hboot being modified at 1.55.
It's been awhile since I tampered around with my phone.
Is it then possible to downgrade my hboot to 1.44, with my current set-up? and continue to s-on?
I thank you immensely.

Luckily the signature check kept you away from a brick, had you been able to S-On with a modded hboot, then you would have had a brick.

I'm not sure what method you used to return to stock, but obviously hboot is not stock, and so could other things as well; I would recommend following my guide, especially if you intend on going S-On.
If you do want to follow my guide, post a "fastboot getvar all" (excluding IMEI and s/n), and I'll let you know which files you need.

no offense taken
but you have PN0714000 + VODAP021 and firmware 3.62.401.1 (.401. = WWE unbranded), so you need to get your firmware correct too; inline with the ROM you are now on.
and personally, I don't recommend going S-Off to S-On on hboot 1.55, sometimes it works fine, but sometimes it triggers "tamper detected" and the tampered is back (can't say when/if it will happen to you)

hboot will be part of the firmware.zip,
and I don't know what they will check, but you may have a problem when it comes back -> if you're S-On, LOCKED bootloader with firmware not matching your MID and CID, then chances are high that HTCDev won't unlock your phone.

You do realize those errors/safe-guards are actually saving you!!
There's nothing wrong with your CID, so set it back to what it's supposed to be.
And the reason it's not working (actually it is), you are flashing the wrong firmware.zip, the one you are flashing is 28294 KB (probably a modded one), whereas the one you should be flashing (from the link you posted earlier) is 41197KB.
now put the correct firmware.zip in your adb/fastboot folder and flash it, fastboot doesn't use anything from your sdcard, it uses the files on your PC.

the later one was I'm guessing a wrong firmware as that was not Europe.
I am in the netherlands. So guessing europe should be it.
I have tried the Erase Cache thing aswell as the Restore thread (WHich is currently open on my computer as a separate tab)
Could anyone help me in the right Direction? I'm off to sports now and will check in a couple hours.
This is about my main phone so I am hoping for a swift solution. But I know I need patience for this.
Thanks in advance.

the later one was I'm guessing a wrong firmware as that was not Europe.
I am in the netherlands. So guessing europe should be it.
I have tried the Erase Cache thing aswell as the Restore thread (WHich is currently open on my computer as a separate tab)
Could anyone help me in the right Direction? I'm off to sports now and will check in a couple hours.
This is about my main phone so I am hoping for a swift solution. But I know I need patience for this.
Thanks in advance.

Hello all.
The name is Daecca and first off, this was not my first phone to Costumize with Rom. or just ROOT for that matter.
But, it was the first HTC to root.
Now after doing everything by the proverbial book (Or sites) HTCdev and such.
And rooting with SuperSU (2. something as that was the newest version. I have a softbrick.
Meaning, the root removed my OS. I have tried all kinds of things found on this forum. posts from 2012 to 2015 I found here., But to no avail.
Here's the specs I can read in my Hboot.
***Tampered ***
*** Relocked ***

First thing you should do is post your fastboot getvar all, but erase your IMEI and serial no from it. That way we will be able to determine the exact RUU for you. Second - and this is confusing, you flashed SU, and that erased your ROM? Impossible, you did something wrong, or you just ended up in a bootloop
Third - you don't flash a .exe file via fastboot. Exe is executable file which you execute via wizzard it comes with.

Was not sure about that since I got two. one was htc and one was not, one didn't work.

PS: I flashed superSU using CWM now, it could be the SU I used was not superSU and something that deleted my OS. as shown in the first post. there is no OS. (Atleast, it doesnt show in HBOOT)
and there was before I put up SU
PPS: I also tried several ZIP files. similar filenames. all with the same happening.

Next try this time with the fastboot that was saved as HTC fastboot. still this. probably the wrong ROM?
PS: Also, thinking it indeed wasn't the superSU, I might have wiped the wrong thing (wanting to wipe cache and accidentally wiped the os.)

Thank you DonkeyKong will try this as soon as possible. My computer just froze while trying the first time. now it won't see the usb in fastboot on phone. Gonna check out what happened with my drivers. Soon as I know more on it working or not I will let you know!

Yes, doing it in that way. it worked out in the end. now the cmd prompt is ready. giving me the ability to type again, the phone shows the RUU HTC logo with a green bar which is now at about 90% filled up. Has been like that for about 15 minutes now. maybe 10.
Can I proceed with rebooting it into bootloader or should I wait? (Waiting could just get me an alnighter and not sure if the bar should fill up even if the CMD is done)

What exactly does cmd say at the bottom? If it' something alongst "finished..." you're good to go. Just type fastboot reboot, and enjoy

(bootloader) ...... Successful
OKAY
Flash Zip Complete
Execution time is 536(s)
And indeed, looked at that link of yours and gathered from that that indeed I should reboot it into bootloader.
Right now, my phone is working on upgrading 252 android apps.
Thank you very much!
Tomorrow I am going to try again with the superSU and CWMtouch. (Unless you think I should use another recovery which would be better) I want it rooted because the HTC thing comes with facebook installed. and some other things I don't want on my phone. Which is why I started this whole ordeal in the first place.
After that perhaps a good ROM for a newer android. But We'll see.
Again, thank you very much. I shall keep this forum under close watch and perhaps become a contrib myself eventually. Always wanted to deepen my knowledge on ROMs and such. perhaps this is the forum to guide me there. (After reading around a bit. I am guessing yes haha)
Cheers and thank you again, (Can't say that enough.)

TWRP recovery is the best for M7. CM stopped development a long time ago. Also, be sure to flash superSU 2.65, not lower. And when you flash recovery, make a backup of your current OS to be on the safe side

Will do, thank you very much, added you to contacts (And I think a friendrequest aswell. Ticked a box so guess so)
I am better with Samsung devices (Ace, S, S2, Note2 and Note 4), but getting to know HTC this intimately is amazing haha.

You did send me a friendship request. I'll sort that out when I come home and get my hands on my laptop. I'm out now (having a beer) and I don't know how to accept things on tapatalk ?
EDIT: Sorted, request accepted [emoji4]
