Signature error 132 when flashing stock RUU

Hi, first of all apologies for posting a thread similar to a few that have already been asked, however I am unable to find an answer and could desperately do with some help here and would be extremely grateful for anyone's time.
I need to go back to stock RUU however keep getting Error 132 - Signature error.
Yes, I have been running the RUU as administrator and keeping the phone in fastboot when running the RUU, and I have been relocking the bootloader first with fastboot oem lock. Details are below and again, thank you for your time. Appreciate it.
HBoot: 1.36
RADIO-5.1204.164D.30
CID: VODAP001
version-main: 3.14.161.27
Attempted RUU: RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed
RUU Error [132]: Signature error.
If there are no reasonable explanations to this the alternative is to flash a rom with the exact properties of the stock RUU's and hope the buyer won't notice! Shouldn't have left this so last minute as things always haven't seemed as simple as they should be with this whole rooting stuff!
Edit: I also have no backups so am unable to use that method as an alternative.

You're flashing the wrong RUU.
Find the RUU for 3.1.4.161.27 and then run it.

Give this a go !
Download this nandroid backup and place it in the right folder on the sdcard

Sdcard\clockworkmod\backup\time and date folder\backup files
Flash the boot.img from that nandroid backup, perform a full wipe in the recovery and restore the nandroid backup. After that you flash back the stock recovery (2.17).

Boot up the phone, check if it all works and go into the software update menu and update to JB again with official OTA.

If your device is locked, then you probably do not have the "unlocked developer edition" the 617 part means it's for the unlocked developer edition. try downloading the ROM for your phone version / carrier.
If you ARE dev edition:
I'm having the same problem. I actually have the unlocked developer edition, I'm S-off and Super Cid.. yet.. 4.23.617.1 RUU throws signature error. Tried from multiple machines, and multiple downloads direct form HTC. I think the current image at HTC is corrupt. This is not the first time this has happened, and I bet they never fix it.
I can flash previous 617 RUUs just fine.

im having the same problem(132: signature error) triying to flash 4.27.502.7(nougat) from 3.38.502.41(marshmallow) on my at&t m9...:crying:

I have this problem too

[Q] How to install Android Revolution HD

Hello,
I've been recently trying to install few times the Android Revolution HD 10.2 ROM however I always fail. Same happened with previous version.
After the ROM installs, i hit reboot and then nothing. It just freezes on the htc logo (with "developer" text) and nothing happens.
So my question is, what am I doing wrong?
I have no problems with installing ViperOne and all of the non-stock based ROMs.
I can't get S-OFF, so I hope it isn't neccessary
Please keep in mind that I'm pretty new at using HTC One m8, however I have experience with android.

If you have the HTC__001 cid or any which is WWE/ Europe you can and MUST flash the firmware.zip for 2.22.401.4 ...otherwise it won't boot or many things will be broken...all necessary things can be found in each Rom thread, how to flash things and what you need etc...Also which recovery do you use and did you flashed a few mods or so afterwards?

Ok, so I don't really know what this CID is. I've seen people talking about this but can't really tell what it is for. Is this some kind of ID a device, for which country it's meant?
You said "flash 2.22.401.4" firmware. Now I would have to find out how to do that (after I do that, will I be able to normally downgrade to 4.4.2 or will there be some problems?)
There's flashtool for Xperia's, Odin for Samsungs and is there a simillar software for HTC devices (I have something called All-In-One_Kit)?
I've seen also something like RUU, but I would need to fix fastboot, as it isn't working after fresh install of Windows.
My CID: HTC_032
Recovery: TWRP 2.7.1.0
Kernel: Unknown, the one that comes with ViperOne (Already tried flashing ARHD with elementaX kernel)
Current version of firmware: 1.54.401.5

Agreed. Messing with things like firmware, without the proper knowledge is a surefire way to brick the phone.

RUU isn't going to help you with any of this (s-off, flashing firmware packages, etc.). Its just to restore to a stock image (ROM, radio, hboot, recovery).
I really recommend you get fastboot working. You need adb/fastboot to get s-off anyway.
Toolkits are only of limited use. They don't do anything you can't do manually with a few adb or fastboot commands. And many would say if you can't handle doing these things manually, you shouldn't be messing with the phone at all.

Yeah, I would need RUU to get to stock 4.4.3.
I can't get s-off, firewater isn't working with my phone, and I don't want to choose the paid method, as I will probably soon change this device anyway.

I see what you're saying: RUU to stock, OTA to 4.4.3 to get the firmware package, then unlock bootloader again, install custom recovery and install ARHD.

Exactly, or RUU already to 4.4.3 skipping the ota.

Also there is no need of using a RUU... You can just download the stock Rom zip, flash back stock kernel and stock recovery...but only if that Rom matches your cid...If not you have to take a nandroid backup from Mr hofs collection thread...

Thank You, You gave me so much information I needed to know more about this device.
I've found a link like this but I can't find my cid
So for example flashing "CID HTC__001" file would brake my device?
P.S. I'm currious what would happen if I flashed wrong CID firmware. Could You tell me more about flashing wrong one. Would it work normally, had some issues, wouldn't boot or wouldn't I be even able to flash this?
EDIT: Hehe, the link I provided is Mr hofs thread. So what now, if my CID isn't there? Can I just use any version that is for Europe, like eg. germany?
EDIT 2: Flashed stock, deodexed ROM 4.4.3, but still no luck with ARHD

If you are now s-off just get super cid with fastboot oem writecid 1111111 I hope enough ones xD or just write a cid like HTC__001 ... If you have further questions write me a pm and we can talk over hangouts or pm here... easier to follow the progress

Ok, finally got it.
I had to flash "SkyDragon+M8+Sense+444+Kernel+V2.0.1".
Now it's testing time.
Let's see if this ROM is so good.
EDIT: There's nothing cool in this ROM
Going back to skydragon.

Yea arhd is like stock Rom and yea nothing special about it

Hahaha aww man, do you not read what each ROM does before installing it so you know beforehand what you're getting yourself into?

Nah, I didn't. I saw many people were using it so I thought it must be good, but it isn't (no special features).
However I wanted to learn how to make it work, and I must say that the htc is the weirdest phone I ever had. Flashing a rom can't be done logically, here nothing works as it should in theory
Sent from HTC One m8, or maybe not anymore

I often see people who aren't able to get arhd working...but I really don't know why..the normal cwm recovery doesn't work as it should...use instead twrp or Philz...both are working foo and with Philz backup and restore is working where in twrp most of the m8 are having problems :/ I really don't have problems to install a custom Rom.
I got the phone, tried it one day stock, wanted to get a custom Rom, unlocked boot loader flashed custom recovery and afterwards Rom and elementalx kernel...without problems.. few months later was able to do s-off with sunshine and after that most things where again easier

[Q] updating to lollipop with s-on help needed please

HI
first thanks for taking the time to help me i really appreciate it
i have an htc m8 ,m8_ul, , s-on ,unlocked bootloader, cid htc_621 , hboot 3.19 , radio 1.22
device currenly bricked but can access booloader and recovery (used to have a 5.0 rom)
i want to upgrade to latest lollipop version can i do that with s-on?
how can i do it?
thanks in advance guys
help much appreciated

by latest lollipop i would assume sense6 and not cm12.
I have installed cm12 on my m8 for a few month now. Getting the latest ATT update has been a pain so far as I cannot downgrade to kitkat.
if you are on a kitkat version then go to setting -> about -> check for updates and you are good to go. just make sure to use wifi.

yes i want sense 6
So i will restore the stock backup
flash stock recovery
Relock bootloader then get ota?
But with my cid will i get the latest updates?

anyone?

Mostly correct, but you don't need to relock the bootloader (nor do I recommend you do so).
You'll get the latest OTA for your CID. I am not clear what you mean by "latest updates". If you intend is to be on the stock ROM for your CID, you don't want a more recent update for another carrier.

Recovery is not a ROM. You want a the stock nandroid backup from the linked thread.
If you restore a stock nandroid, it doesn't matter what ROM was on the phone before. By restoring the nandroid, you will wipe and overwrite system and boot.img, which are the only components of the custom ROM.

Do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number) so we can see the needed info about the phone.

Its just asking for 2 different things, so I wanted to be sure I understand what you want to accomplish; so I don't send you down the wrong path. That okay with you?
I see you requested the modded hboot in the appropriate thread. That is probably your best bet to get it. Just be aware that those look to be only the hboot, not the full Marshmallow firmware (and a full firmware has a bunch of other critical modules in addition to the hboot). So in any case, you'd probably want to update to the full MM firmware, then flash a modded hboot.

All good, I've got back to a stable lollipop whilst sourcing...thanks.

Not sure what those numbers are.
Firmware number for O2 is 6.13.206.5 for MM, 4.20.206.1 or 4.20.206.2 for Lollipop.
I think you mean carrier ID (CID) which for O2 is: O2___001 & O2___102
Might be best for you to do a fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial number before posting) so we can be sure what you are talking about.

So it's not out of the ordinary to need both eh?

Lolz.... No I don't know the difference between hboot and firmware and don't know what each component does in the Android system. If you search my threads you will find one where I asked for a root tree of the start up of Android but didn't get any response. I bought the xda book but that's over complicated, but through trial and error and helpful people on here I have rooted two phones over three years and love it.
I've also had an all be it simple attempt at modding the leaf color on the EPS app which I have posted in the themes thread...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...heme-extreme-power-saver-leaf-colour-t3195079
So no, I don't know all the terms but I love rooting and being on this website.....but n00b I am not... :silly:

Flashing my HTC 10 to Marshmallow

Hello
I would like to flash my HTC 10 back to stock Marshmallow firmware. What is the safest and easiest way?
I don't want to unlock my bootloader or root my phone. I just want to roll-back.

Not possible with a locked bootloader

So is unlocking the booloader the only requirement for a firmware roll back?

This user has done so with s-on unlocked bootloader and twrp installed...Not responsible for any mishaps... Is only a post to point you in a direction... Good luck

Without s-off you cant downgrade firmwares, not sure what that specific user is about but he is not flashing full ruu files or firmwares. Those will fail 100%
And there is no 4.41.401 firmware number. The last nougat firmware is 2.41.401.4

It could be a typo.
I'm going to give it a try tonight and provide a feedback.
Thank you all.
Here is an update as promised. I gave the mentioned method a try but it didn't work.

Yes please let us know if it works. I hope battery life is better on Marshmallow.

In that same thread is another option...For S-On devices with an unlocked bootloader...Outlined in post #2

I wrote wrong and i know last nougat is 2.41.401.41
And S-ON and Unlock Bootloader is mandotory for roll back marsmallow.Try my way and Relock Bootloader

But you didn't flash a lower firmware or ruu than the firmware that's on the device already ? Because that's impossible with s-on. You can only downgrade firmware with s-off.
Did you install a lower stock backup?

I believe I'm doing something wrong which is why nothing worked for me. This is too much to do for a simple roll back and i don't blame you guys for it.
Remember the old days when all you had to do to install a ROM is root and place the ROM into a micro SD card.

I actually already assumed it would not work because you can't downgrade firmware on s-on devices. That specific post is in many ways impossible. Or he has a s-off device and wrote it wrong or he is just making stuff up.

If you want to roll back you need s-off and a MM ruu. That's the easiest way. What are your specs now.
Can you give the output of "fastboot getvar all"
Don't paste the serial and imei.

So you are flashing partitions that are locked on s-on state. I just don't believe this downgrade method because you simply need s-off to downgrade firmwares.
That's all i can and will say about it.

i found at under this video
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ubjDGNqCfIply-aRN8C7IQNb-YVkD4M7/view

Since i'm going to need to pay money to s-off the smartphone, i have taken it to a guy who is willing to roll back the firmware to Marshmallow for 10$.
He probably have the license.
Thank you all for the help.

Yeah, folks always believe downgrading will only work on S-OFF devices...
But don't say "IMPOSSIBLE" before you try, the downgrade method I've test on HTC M9 A9 10 U11 and it work well, I even wrote a program to help to erase version number in an easiest way.
