Error 132 when using RUU

Right now I'm facing problem to update to stock using RUU.
My version is 2.17.707.3 so I dowload from HTCRUU the file named RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed.exe, but after some operations (reboot to bootloader, etc) gives me an 132 error saying: "Signature error". Why is that?
Also I found other RUU file named RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe, Can i use just this to update to JB?

Before you proceed, check the actual version no. Go to bootloader in fastboot mode, do command fastboot getvar version-main then you will know which RUU is correct for you.
Example, mine is 3.14.707.24, then RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Ra dio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed.exe is the correct RUU for my device.
Code:
D:\HTC\fastboot>fastboot getvar version-main
version-main: 3.14.707.24
finished. total time: -0.000s
D:\HTC\fastboot>

I already do that. That's why I know how version to use.

Then follow this procedure to flash the RUU
1) Boot to bootloader in fastboot mode, relock your bootloader - fastboot oem lock
2) Still in fastboot mode, run the RUU follow the updater instruction until it finish.
Important points relock bootloader & run ruu in fastboot

I already do that too. The problem is that after 1 minute, it says ERROR 132, "Signature Problem"

ERROR 132, "Signature Problem" usually refer to unlocked bootloader. As you said you did relock the bootloader, I have no idea. Maybe someone else can assist you on this.

Quick question. After flash the stock recovery is mandatory to erase the cache using fastboot erase cache?
After relock the bootloader, can I flash the stock recovery?

Not mandatory but recommended.
You can't flash stock recovery or stock boot.img after you relock the bootloader.
If you need to flash those to you device, do it before you relock the bootloader.

Ok, just to ask, this is HTC One X section, and in quote i can see that you have HTC One X +? Did you download RUU for HTC one X or HTC One X +?
Because guide for back to stock with RUU is just like previous members wrote... go into fastboot, relock bootloader, run RUU (with administrators rights in vista or win7)..
And for the others: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714
Stock OTA and RUU: http://androidfiles.org/ruu/?dir=Endeavor
IMPORTANT from the link:
Get the RUU file required for your device:
Make sure that USB debugging is enabled (Settings/Developer options). In order to determine which ruu file you require, boot your device into bootloader mode (Power off and then restart device by holding Power and Volume Down button together). Connect to pc via USB and check that device shows FASTBOOT USB on screen. Enter the following command in command prompt:
Code: fastboot getvar version-main
If for example this command returns the value 1.29.401.x then you need to use that file or you can use a higher numbered file from the same region eg 2.17.401.x. NOTE: You can't use a lower numbered file eg 1.26.401.x and you also can't use a file from a different region eg 2.17.707.x.:
PROCESS :
1. Boot your phone to fastboot mode by holding power+vol down button for 10 secs..(if your phone keeps restarting in normal phone mode, go to Setting>Power and untick Fast boot)
2. Plug your phone into your PC and open a Command Prompt.
(windows XP - Click Start > Run > type CMD in box then press OK
(Windows 7 - Click Start > type CMD in search box then press Enter)
3. cd to the location of your fastboot files folder
4. Relock bootloader - type command:
Code: fastboot oem lock
The phone will then restart into fastboot again showing "RELOCKED"
6. On your pc run the RUU (vista and win7 run as administrator) that you downloaded earlier, follow the steps as prompted and patiently wait for it to finish.
REMEMBER your phone should be charged ABOVE 50% (Full battery is advice) AND if the RUU or restore is INTERRUPTED 4 any reason during restore your
phone will be PERMANENTLY BRICKED..

It's because you didn't flash the correct boot.img or you didn't full wipe your device.. start over and follow these steps:
1. flash boot.img from rom.zip and then fastboot erase cache
2. Go to recovery and flash this script : http://d-h.st/B2K
3. Flash rom.zip
4. Reboot

[Q] Problems in updating (4.0.4 to 4.1.1) and going into recovery mode

I tried to update my HTC One X from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 by OTA. The phone would download the entire update (around 370 MB), then try to install it, but couldn't. This happened several times. Then I downloaded the OTA update zip file and copied it to my phone memory. But now, it wouldn't go into recovery mode (after pressing volume down and power and navigating to recovery). When I press on recovery, it would go to a black screen, showing a phone with an exclamatory sign over it. After some time (maybe 1 or 2 minutes) it would reboot to normal mode with 4.0.4.
So, I think the problem is my phone cannot simply enter recovery mode. Is there any way to install the update by commands through PC?
I'm not really a fan of custom ROMs. Only the stock ROM of JB 4.1.1 will do.
Thanks!

Try resetting your phone from the hboot. (You'll lose all data including apps and sdcard. So backup first)
Then try ota again.

You mean factory reset? Did that. No improvement. Also I ran the RUU for stock ROM of ICS 4.0.4. Had to do that to unbrick it (long story, was trying to flash custom ROM. Was facing the same problem, couldn't enter recovery option). But still, same story, downloads update for 2 hours, then goes back to 4.0.4. I'm in deep **** man!

I did, but again relocked to go to stock ROM to unbrick via RUU. I can unlock it again and I would appreciate if you tell me how to update to 4.2.2. But I'm afraid the process won't work if it involves going into recovery mode in the phone.

Like I said earlier, when I go to bootloader (by holding volume down and power) and then select recovery from the options, a black screen comes with an android photo in the middle, with an exclamatory sign above it. After a couple of minutes, the screen disappears and the phone is restarted. That's what happens every time, I don't know why.

That's not a problem. What you're seeing is the Stock Recovery from HTC. As far as I know, you can't flash stuff from HTC's recovery.
Give me the output of 'fastboot getvar all'
And also while pasting the output, hide your IMEI and Serial No. it may be used for bad purposes by bad people.

Cool dude! You have a s-off deivce!
Anyway, Backup ALL (Apps, contacts, sdcard) data before you start with the following steps -
1. Keep your bootloader LOCKED.
2. Download this firmware and place it in your fastboot folder. Also download the stock ROM and place it on your device.
3. reboot your phone into fastboot mode
4. Through cmd - fastboot oem rebootRUU
5.You'll have a black screen on the device
6. Just to be sure, flash the firmware zip twice while in RUU mode. (fastboot flash zip firmware.zip)
7. Now go back to fastboot mode ( Power and volume combo)
8. Unlock your bootloader ( please refer HTCDev for instructions)
9. Flash this recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img)
10. Extract the boot.img from the Stock ROM zip and flash it through fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
11. Go into the recovery. Do a Factory Reset.
12. locate the stock rom and flash it. (if it was erased while unlocking the bootloader, place it again)
13. now reboot
14. If all goes well, you'll boot into stock 4.2.2!
15. if you want to receive further OTA updates (if any)from hTC , flash this recovery.
Hope I helped! Feel free to ask any doubt you have!

[Q] HTC one M8 (dual sim) stuck on bootloader! What can I do?

Hello everyone! glad to be a new member of this amazing community! I am a new member with a tough problem, would love if I get ideas on how to solve it.
So After flashing stock unrooted GPe rom as per the most common methods circulating around (changing CID, MID, S-Off, etc), I was thrilled to see the boot splash screen change into google's except that it keeps booting into the bootloader; for some reason I could not get into recovery either (but I flashed TWRP again and it works now)
So as it stands now I have the following:
S-Off
Unlocked
Software status: Official
Working TWRP (which keeps saying NO OS IS INSTALLED)
Unable to mount /data (whatever that means) + "error: closed" when attempting to sideload the RUU roms via ADB
I did not install any firmware or kernels
and whenever I try to boot the OS I get put back in bootloader over and over.
As far as im concerned this phone seems bricked for me, but im also new so I wouldn't know, having said that, I am open for the most radical of options and procedures to get this working.
Thank you all in advance!

Flash it again via adb, the flashing command must be executed twice.

I get an error "E:Unable to mount '/Data'" as soon as I open up the sideload option. when attempting to sideload I get "error: closed". I am starting to sense I have a problem with my storage. what to do next?
Thank you so much for your reply!

That unrooted GPE was for dual sim? I see you have a dual sim.
Make a screenshot.
Details about the ROM would help.
Do a fastboot getvar all command also.

Actually I don't know if the Rom is for dual sim or not, I figured as long as I get CID and MID right it should fit? pardon my ignorance on the matter. ill post a screenshot as soon as possible!

OK. First things first, did the GPe ROM ever work? The reason I ask it was designed for the single-SIM M8 so don't know if it worked with the dual-SIM version. If not, we should be OK to get back to stock...

Thank you so much!

OK, this isn't particularly straight forward but should hopefully work...
Download the following files and place in your fastboot folder:
- Dual-SIM RUU - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B17smFr95pleaW9iTFBiSUE2OVE/view?usp=sharing (rename to anything you want but I'd recommend ruu.zip, not ruu.zip.zip obviously!)
- htc_fastboot - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95897840722646249
- Sense FW - https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407589439 (again, rename to anything but I'd recommend firmware.zip)
1. First things first, boot into fastboot and set your CID to Super CID - fastboot oem writecid 11111111
2. Once done, reboot the bootloader and confirm it's done - fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Assuming it's done, boot the phone into RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Once in RUU mode, flash the firmware package - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
5. It'll fail the first time and reboot. Do the exact same command again once back in RUU mode - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
6. Once finished, reboot back to the bootloader to confirm it's on the white 'Sense' version - fastboot reboot-bootloader
7. Assuming it's done, reboot into RUU mode again - fastboot oem rebootRUU
8. Now flash the RUU using the HTC fastboot version - htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
9. This will go through a few passes but once finished reboot to the bootloader - fastboot reboot-bootloader
10. Once back at the bootloader, disconnect the phone and go into stock recovery
11. Once in stock recovery, hold power and press volume up and once the menu appears do a factory reset
12. Once complete, reboot the phone
It should now boot back into the normal Sense ROM. Now if you changed your MID to the GPe one you'll need to re-root your phone and change it back using the guide by @scotty1223 HERE but if you didn't change it then you're good to go!

1. First things first, boot into fastboot and set your CID to Super CID - fastboot oem writecid 11111111
2. Once done, reboot the bootloader and confirm it's done - fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. Assuming it's done, boot the phone into RUU mode - fastboot oem rebootRUU
4. Once in RUU mode, flash the firmware package - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
5. It'll fail the first time and reboot. Do the exact same command again once back in RUU mode - fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
6. Once finished, reboot back to the bootloader to confirm it's on the white 'Sense' version - fastboot reboot-bootloader
7. Assuming it's done, reboot into RUU mode again - fastboot oem rebootRUU
8. Now flash the RUU using the HTC fastboot version - htc_fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
9. This will go through a few passes but once finished reboot to the bootloader - fastboot reboot-bootloader
10. Once back at the bootloader, disconnect the phone and go into stock recovery
11. Once in stock recovery, hold power and press volume up and once the menu appears do a factory reset
12. Once complete, reboot the phone
It should now boot back into the normal Sense ROM. Now if you changed your MID to the GPe one you'll need to re-root your phone and change it back using the guide by @scotty1223 HERE but if you didn't change it then you're good to go!

That is amazing thank you, ill try it and get back to you asap.

I have two questions:
Will I still get OTAs even if I don't have the original CID and MID? (I remember the original CID which is J15 but I can't remember the mid).
Also, I am currently on custom recovery and in your guide above I do not see anything about flashing stock recovery, should I do that first?
Thank you again!

The RUU flashes everything stock, so it'll overwrite it all
I'd change the CID back to stock once it's all working again but the MID I'm not sure on so I'll see if I can find out for you

At step 8 I get an error "DNS server not authoritative for zone", how to resolve that?

Nvm I resolved the DNS thin, but now I get error 41 model id check fail. It is probably because of bad MID isn't it?
Thank you again for helping me, I hope it is not much trouble.

Can't get my m8 to boot anymore

I used to have a custom rom on my phone but I tried to wipe it and im not sure what happened but I don't think there's an OS on there anymore. It gets stuck on the HTC white screen. I am able to access fastboot and I have TWRP recovery installed that I'm able to access, but I believe it's an older version. I tried just downloading another rom and flashing it but it still wont boot. I'm not sure what I need to get it working again.

Yes your Firmware is the version-main and its empty, thats crappy.
First download this TWRP Stock Nandroid Backup: https://mega.nz/#!mYxDWApA!JbdLZAhYkz8fas5MpPfOQqGScikCLCmG21KBsjRJKQQ
Then use latest twrp recovery 3.0.2-0: https://dl.twrp.me/m8/twrp-3.0.2-0-m8.img.html and install it.
Here is the Stock Recovery that you need later: https://mega.nz/#!SUATBBbQ!-IUlr_tqnpkYFUM0bedRSRH3w__nCZjEAYls-5zncX4.
Then do this taken from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-m8/help/tutorial-how-to-stock-stock-twrp-t3086860.
The basic idea is : fastboot flash recovery NameOfRecovery.img
2. Download TWRP backup - link in post #2 & post #3
3. Download stock recovery - link in post #4
4. Extract the downloaded x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5.zip on PC
5. Boot to TWRP recovery and make a backup of boot only, this is to see where the backup goes on your device.
6(a). Reboot, connect device to PC then
open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
open SD Card - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to MicroSD)
6(b). For those with no OS, connect device to PC. In TWRP recovery go to mount, make sure MTP is enabled.
Then you can open Internal Storage - TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./ (if backup is set to internal storage)
7. Transfer the extracted x.xx.xxx.x folder (not x.xx.xxx.x_ckpv5 folder) and its content to the backup path on your device, so it looks like this :
TWRP/BACKUPS/SerialNo./x.xx.xxx.x
8. Reboot to TWRP, wipe your device - in TWRP go to wipe - advance - select dalvik cache, cache, data, system (only these)
9. Restore the transferred backup - make sure all boot, data & system are ticked - swipe to restore
10. In reboot menu select bootloader (when TWRP asks whether you want to root your device, select do not install)
11. fastboot flash stock recovery that you downloaded - command fastboot flash recovery x.xxx.xx.x_recovery.img
12. reboot - check for OTA, download, install
13. you may have multiple OTA when your device currently on a lower version
14. done
If you want to flash TWRP again, use the latest TWRP after last OTA
NOTE : There is no need to relock bootloader when doing the nandroid way to revert to stock and do OTA.

You won't be able to run current ROMs because your firmware is too low version.
What you can do is run the latest RUU to get back to stock at Marshmallow firmware then reinstall TWRP to install any custom ROM that you like
1. You need these drivers - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926362&postcount=4
2. You need to relock bootloader because your device is S-On, use command
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader
3. You need to install htc signed 6.20.531.5 firmware
Download :
https://mega.nz/#!yIhBTRKJ!5rZldUEzCaFqYUhomn4mO_IgA_-nW6-gV9HX5LCzT5Y
run commands
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
you'll see error : FAILED
repeat fastboot flash zip fw_6.20.531.5.zip
fastboot reboot-bootloader
4. You need to install the latest 6.20.531.5 RUU
Download : http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-t-mobile/news/
right click the RUU.exe and select run as administrator, follow the instructions - agree/accept, next,next,update,blablabla until it finish.
Now you'll have a out of the box state device.
You can unlock the bootloader again with the unlock_code.bin
Re install TWRP - use the latest TWRP 3.0.2-0
You can install any custom ROM that you like.
All the above procedure require you to put the device on bootloader/fastboot mode and connect to PC.
The above procedure will wipe everything in your device including internal storage data/files (if you want to backup first, install TWRP 2.8.1.0 and in recovery you can enable MTP after connect to PC to copy out files from Internal storage)
All these require you to have a Windows PC with USB2.0

Hboot 3.16 means OP is on 1.xx firmware.
Which also means the nandroid and stock recovery you suggested are off by 3 versions (4.xx). Are you guessing at the version number?
ckpv5 has the best route. RUU will update the firmware, and get the phone back up and running.

Thanks for this information. I had tried to revert back to stock using that exact RUU from the HTC website but it would keep failing and I didn't know why. Using the stock firmware steps you included got it work. I appreciate the help.

If you had posted the RUU failure symptoms (Error number and message, if there was one; specific behavior and results, etc.) we could have helped there (and still be happy to, if you are at all curious about getting RUU to work). But it looks like you sorted it without RUU, anyway.

Restoring by RUU versus nandroid are two completely different things, and you should be careful not to confuse the two:
RUU re-writes all partitions, including firmware, so there is no chance of a mismatch between firmware and ROM. Therefore, you don't need to match the RUU version to firmware, as long as the RUU is equal or greater number than the current firmware on the phone (no "downgrading" with s-on). And with s-off, this requirement is removed entirely, so you can run any version RUU that matches your CID, MID.
Restoring by nandroid is a completely different animal. Nandroid just contains the ROM and kernel. It needs to match the firmware on the phone, otherwise it won't work properly.

I understand his post differently .. he managed to run RUU after firmware is flashed, a step his missed before (a needed step to run a MM RUU on lower firmware, but never told earlier).

Now I understand. Its confusing, since the 2 methods (both of which have you to credit) to return to stock are both referenced in this thread (another user references the nandroid method); and folks often use the term "firmware" incorrectly to refer to the ROM.
It also means that the user did not follow your instructions in Post #5 in the proper sequence. So RUU failing was inevitable, and easily avoidable; if they had followed your instructions in the proper order.

Can't unlock network despite having code!

I bought a second hand HTC ONE M8 recently. It was previously locked to a Swedish Carrier (called "3").
When I insert a SIM card from another carrier, a window pops up right after I enter the PIN code, asking me to type in a code to unlock the network.
The code I have, but whenever I type it in and hit "unlock", the phone gets stuck at "requesting network code. Very much like in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791553
The phone has a Play Edition ROM, which is not the original. Some say that a solution is to revert back to stock ROM, but I'm not sure how.
Anyone has any other ideas? Google searches yield surprisingly few good results.

Yeah .. usually you need to revert back to non-rooted stock then only you can use the unlock code.
Post fastboot getvar all result (without serial & imei no.) then we'll see the next step to take.

Thank you for answering.
I tried the link but I never managed to get HTC Sync Manager to recognize the phone.
fastboot getvar all only yields "waiting for device". What could be wrong? I've tried multiple ways of installing drivers manually, but to no avail.

You need to put the device on bootloader/fastboot mode to run fastboot command.
Read again the link given, you're supposed to uninstall htc sync manager and also you need to install adb/fastboot

This will involve many steps as I don't see any RUU for this carrier ...
1. You need to install 6.13.771.4 firmware.zip
Download the fw_6.13.771.4.zip from post #5 in my backup thread and read how to install the firmware. You can skip the relock bootloader part as you have a S-Off device.
Leave it unlocked .. can you confirm current status .. the booloader is unlocked or locked or relocked ?

I can confirm it is unlocked. I started following the steps in post #1, but can't seem to complete step 5. I try to make a backup of the boot, but when I do, several red errors in the log appears. All of them starts with
Failed to/Unable to mount '/cache, /data, /carrier (invalid argument).
What might cause these errors?

Forgot to write more on item 2.
Install TWRP the latest version 3.0.2-0 ... link to download on post #1 in same thread
Because you're converting back to Sense from GPE ... you need to do these before you can proceed to item 3.
In TWRP - select wipe - Format data - type yes
Once it is done doing its stuff, use back button select reboot - recovery
Now you can proceed item 3.

Doesn't seem to make a difference anyway though.

The second one but without \0\

After redo the backup ... select Restore and check whether TWRP can see the folder that you backup. If yes, now you have correct location
Instead of transferring the 6.13.771.4 folder, you also can copy the contents of the 6.13.771.4 folder (there should be 8 items) to Internal Storage\TWRP\BACKUPS\SH45FWM04430\xxxxxxxxx and replace the contents when asked by windows
