Tmo Htc One M8 error 12 "Remote Signature verify failed"

I am fixing a TMO Htc One M8 for a friend. He currently has TWRP recovery but nothing will wipe or flash. I have posted the get var information and the log below along with all the steps I've taken, please share any insight into the matter.
Here is the Get VAR Information. I have tried to fix this device by relocking the Bootloader, flashing stock RUU RUU_M8_TMOUS_1.57.531.7 , Flashing modified firmware.zip, flashing recovery.img, nothing. Then unlocking the bootloader, flashing Philz recovery.img, Twrp.img, still same error. Current TWRP recovery registers nothing but errors. No wiping data, cache, system, etc. No installing backup nandroid, no flashing new rom through external SD card or adb sideload. Literally the phone won't flash anything and the error is error 12, "Remote signature verifiey failed" What kinda insight do you have into this? Anyway to get back to stock?
Thanks!

okay I'm wondering why the bootloader is 3.18. I just converted my T-Mobile HTC one m8 to dev edition and that's what my bootloader is now.
That device must have been s-off before if it has the 3.18 bootloader. the problem is now you're s-on with the wrong bootloader in the phone. So it's not gonna verify something it can't. U need to unlock the bootloader then try to s-off again. Let me know if u need more help

Yes, I think the device was S-off before was well. But how can I get the device S-off when I can't load any rom to establish an internet connection?
There's no way to get back to stock, or get an internet connection through the device to obtain S-off. I can unlock the boot-loader,
I've done that a few times, but how to get S-Off when the only two screens I can access are the bootloader and twrp? When bootloader is unlocked. I have used firewater before for S-off and it requires active internet connection on device.
Thanks again for helping

Unlock bootloader try to flash the latest open twrp recovery and try to install another Rom or backup. If you can see the roms in the sdcard then you should be able to flash the roms or backup.
If there was a way to get into adb YOU would be able to s-off again.

I've tried to flash TWRP but I get that error. I tried to flash the newest twrp but it wouldn't flash.
I think the system is no longer mounted, that's why I get this error :"E: Unable to mount 'data'" and "E: Unable to mount internal storage"

Is there any option in recovery to format? if so have u tried to format each partition manually?
Then try and see if it will flash. Just need something to boot so you can s-off .
You need to get s-off again so you can flash a ruu with lower hboot if formatting doesn't work or you can try to flash the new 4.4.3 ruu when it becomes available. They said the ota should be out on the 11th.
I'll keep looking for ways to s-off without adb .

Well first your doing the wrong command. Its fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, not fastboot flash flash recovery.img.

Yes, that was a typo. Every fastboot flash ends with error 12. Remote Signature.
I have tried literally everything with this device. Tried flashing new TWRP, Radio, Firmware, Etc. Nothing works.
Inside TWRP everything finishes with "failed" or "E: Unable to mount cache"
I tried to select cache under the mount in TWRP and it's greyed out. I fastboot erase cache, and it is literally
the only thing that worked for me. But still no way to restore previous Android. Tried flashing stock RUU's for 4.4.2 and 4.4.3, no dice.
Both RUU's get to 6 percent and then say failed. I'm wondering if the device thinks it's a different phone possibly a GPE edition so it won't
go back to stock? Just a thought. I have unlocked, and relocked the bootloader a million times trying different methods as well, not
sure what else there is to do next. This might be the end of the road for this customers phone.

Under TWRP the only option is to format data. I formatted, but it did nothing that I'm aware of.

I just tried to reformat data again and it says same error in TWRP E: Cannot mount cache
I am able to flash Viper Rom though, but because it is S ON the rom won't boot past start up screen.
What a bizarre issue

There should be a way now that the new T-Mobile update to flash ruu if we can find one.
Edit: found one
http://www.htcdev.com/devcenter/downloads/P00
Just select T-Mobile as carrier and USA as region then you Wil see the latest ruu to download.

the latest viper is from New firmware base so it takes 15 to 20 minutes to boot. Have you waited that long?

Sorry it seems I'm getting posts in different orders.
Flash viper and wait 15 to 20 minutes. And we can go from there.
I'm pretty sure we can get this resolved.

I'll try to flash the latest Viper. The 1.6.0 it says everything flashed correctly, but gets stuck at the HTC boot screen.
I just flashed the 1.8.0 OTA update and everything installs but it sticks at the boot screen.
I see the 2.2.0 update is out so I'm downloading that now, I'll flash and see how it goes.
I'll update, thanks for your help!

Check your firmware against your installed rom version - happens when firmware needs update

Htc
Forgot to mention that it wouldnt turn on since it came out the box.
Kernel - 3.4.0 elemental
Baseband - 1.19.21331147a1
Build numb - 3.28.401.9

Htc
Hboot - 3.18.0.0000
Radio- 1.19.21331147a1
Os - doesn't mention anything at all

Yeah, that baseband is wrong against that 3.28.401.9, update firmware, should be 1.22.223.....

So which firmware you suggest, any link to download a zip to flash?
What about the os that is empty?

OS is blank because you got custom recovery, probably TWRP - flash firmware from within fastboot -- http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One_M8/401/3.28.401.9.zip

You gotta do - fastboot oem rebootRUU and only then execute the next command

fastboot oem rebootRUU command doesnt do anything so i booted in fastboot my own and this message came up. wana smash the phone on the wall. really omg.

Ok what i need is s-off as i thought i had it. firewater doesnt work anymore as it mentiones in thread. there is sunshine method but it costs 25 dollars. lolz no way. is there another way to gain s off?

Im a bit confused . Please some help guys. I got s-on,does that mean i cant flash another firmware to get my wifi to work?

I would really recommend you S-Off your device, if you want to flash firmware
otherwise:
1- flash signed firmware incrementally, signed firmware expects previous updates to already be there, so if you skip directly to the last, you'll end up stuck with a high version firmware, but missing previous updates!!!!!!
2- you need to relock your bootloader, for fastboot oem rebootRUU mode flashes to work

Thanks for the response.
i tryed to s-off with firewater but i think this service has stopped?or does it still work as a method?
Device is s-on with unlocked bootloader. I read that with s-on u cant flash kernels-radios-baseband. Is radio equal to baseband? a guy in earlier post said that to get my wifi working i have to update the firmware. Exactly he said that baseband is wrong against that 3.28.401.9, update firmware, should be 1.22.223.
So how do i get that firmware + how i flash it + in what state should the device be?
thats what im asking

hi, just a quick FYI, you need to quote (ie reply) or mention (for example @ nkk71 <- without the space) someone, for them to get notified ... otherwise it may go unnoticed.
anyway,
1- firewater is discontinued and in either case was not very suited for the M8 anyway, except for some of the very early models it would have failed. sunshine ($25) is the only known software solution for s-off
2- the response earlier about what you see in Settings->About (3.28.401.9) only refers to the version the ROM (not firmware) is based on
3- the firmware you get from a "fastboot getvar all" from version-main; if that's missing (a bug in some twrp versions), you can make an educated guess by looking at hboot version + radio + date in bootloader
4- radio is equal to baseband, but not equal to firmware.... firmware contains a lot more than just hboot and radio
5- with s-on, you can only flash signed firmwares (these are usually extracted from OTA.zips), and have to match your MID and CID... you also need to have bootloader relocked for RUU mode flash to work
^^ plus, since those are updates, they will only contain whatever was changed from the previous OTA update, that's why if you intend on staying s-on, you should flash those incrementally, and not skip a version
(for example, the "latest" signed firmware could just be an update to hboot or something, but missing all the previous radio, touchscreen, etc updates.... because and official update [by definition] implies all the previous updates were already installed)
hope that helps a bit

your hboot+baseband version would indicate you are either on 2.22.401.4 or .5 (minor difference)
you should flash in increasing order:
3.28.401.6.zip
3.28.401.7.zip
3.28.401.9.zip
from here: http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/index.php?dir=HTC/HTC_One_M8/401/
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip 3.28.401.6.zip
fastboot flash zip 3.28.401.6.zip <- yes twice, make sure it says successful/finished
fastboot reboot-bootloader
once you are back in bootloader, make sure the OS- line has been updated to the version you flashed, and is not in red (if it is in red, that means the flash didnt complete properly)
then repeat the above commands for the 2 other firmwares
Note: the higher the firmware, the less chances of getting S-OFF, just to let you know

Excellent. Tell us about what happened to get to this point. Also, what can you boot into, if anything?

Your MID indicates that you have the unlocked/developer edition of the phone, so my advice would be to use the RUU for that device. You'll have to boot into the bootloader and connect your phone to a PC (this RUU won't run on any other operating system), but it should restore your phone completely to stock.
Be aware that using a RUU is a destructive restore - it'll wipe everything on the phone.
(It's weird that you're S-ON and yet have a CID of 11111111, which is the SuperCID. Changing the CID is only possible after S-OFF.)

extract hosd.img from your firmware.zip and flash via fastboot in bootloader. You should be able to boot to DL mode again.

My suggestion was based from my experience. I got the same problem before. Not sure how it happened but flashing hosd fixes my device.
You can try flashing hosd from any 3.35.xxx firmware. I'm on dev edition firmware but hosd does not work, tried hosd from 401 and it worked.

Right. So, what steps did you take? Describe, in detail, what you did.
Then describe the state of your phone right now. For example, can your phone boot into the a)system or b)the bootloader or c)download mode or d)recovery or e)more than one of these (which ones)?
One sentence descriptions are not enough - you're giving answers with so little detail that we can't give reliable advice.

Exactly what happened to me.
Was playing with the xtc2clip returning back to s-on using sd mode. Ended up with corrupted download mode.
Try flashing hosd from .401. It should fix the problem.

[SOLVED] Need some help update my phone from 5.0.1 to 6.0

Hi.
first off i have to say im completely new to this, and been googling all day for how to update my phone from 5.0.1 to 6.0 as it doesnt get it automatic but cant find what i feel is the right way for me. so i feel pretty stuck
this far i figure i most likely have an asian modell of m8, would like to upgrade it so i later on will get automatic updates (if it will ever be more coming for this one )
so as a noob i need some help on how to solve this issue

you can update it using RUU.zip
however you have s-off device which is heavily modified ( supercid,dev ed or t mobile mid and Asian firmware )
so if you want t update the current firmware then
downoad this RUU
https://mega.nz/#!nQUTEQgS!705whK7tyPvtUgUQwLenweGTJepoHQDeBgsiHhrYVlQ
and follow this instruction to flash it
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64926626&postcount=6
start from "2. Download htc_fastboot.exe" all the steps and files before this step is not for you
p.s backup your files before flashing as the RUU will wipe your internal storage

that didnt work to well, tryed several times (even with different usb ports, same result)

try the other method to flash the RUU
rename the RUU to 0P6BIMG.zip then put it in sd card ( formatted as fat32 ) and reboot to bootloader ( hboot )

note: if you are not on the stock rom/kernel flashing the firmware will wipe the os so you will need to flash the firmware then flash the RUU
after flash the firmware with success reboot to bootloader then reboot to RUU mode and flash the RUU again
if you see this error “Error 90 hboot pre-update..." repeat the flashing command again immediately

that's because your mid is 0P6B13000 and cid supercid
the right mid for this firmware is 0P6B63000 and cid HTC__622
you have tow options
1- flash the developer edition marshmallow firmware and RRU.exe
2-change the MID to 0P6B63000 and flash the asian firmware/RUU again
your choice and i think both options are valid for you
option 1
flash this firmware https://mega.nz/#!iZJHDKZK!wKL6TkHz8u5eXA6HfhUfgPDdfeTcCZMxygc9Mm_GGg8
then reboot to bootloader and run this RUU.exe from your pc as a normal app http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/news/
direct link for the RUU.exe
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...2.1540.4.exe?_ga=1.5739063.5870829.1473114560
option 2
change the mid to 0P6B63000
reboot to twrp ( flash it if you don't yet ) and connect your device to pc
type this 4 commands in cmd window ( press enter after each command )
adb shell
Code:
echo -ne '\x30\x00\x50\x00\x36\x00\x42\x00\x36\x00\x33\x00\x30\x00\x30\x00\x30' | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1 seek=16384
the above command is very sensitive and long command just copy and paste it not write it your self
exit
adb reboot bootloader
then flash the firmware again and followed by the RUU
source for change mid https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708581
your mid command isn't available in this thread i edited a close one to be valid for 0P6B63000 ( i'm not an expert )
and i recommend you to choose option 1 ( any way it's your choice following my own command or use the most trusted option 1 )

flash firmware was sucessful.
but the ruu.exe loads up and i accept the terms and hit next, then the app just dies/quits, only thing i see is that languagebar icon flashes when this happends
im running genuine windows 7 64bit, does it need to be runned in a compability mode of some sort ?

Try again with RUU and if possible reboot both devices ( pc and phone )
try with another usb port
Windows 7 is the most compatible os to run the RUU so try again
Sent from my HTC M8 using XDA Labs

still a no go, tried all 4 availible usb ports and rebooted between them all, downloaded ruu once more . still app just dies when i accept and hit next

now i have tried from another two computers, with just the same result, ruu.exe dies upon accepting terms and hitting next.

you are missing some libraries
download and install this

then run the RUU again

there it goes, worked perfectly and now up and running updated
thanks a lot for your time struggeling with my noobyness, would not have get this done right without you.
atleast now i know what to do next time i buy a new phone on ebay
just one last question, if i now go into meny or hboot and do factory reset, will it restores it to current flashed image again or mess things up? just so i dont mess this up in a year or so, if things starts to hang up

no worry you are on complete stock state anytime you will make a factory reset it will just wipe the user data
but no need for that now as it already wiped everything on the device :good:

HTC M8 eye with official rom stuck in fastboot

Hey guys
Last night my phone(HTC m8 eye 5.07.401.1) slowed down badly, after a while it restarted automatically and fastboot screen showed up.
Things I've tried:
1-Restarting the phone after fully charging it for 1 billion times (worked once but the phone was frozen and restarted automatically again)
2- Trying to unlock the boot loader(Got the unlock_code.bin file, tried to load it to the phone using adb, it said success or done or something like that but nothing changed)
3-Trying to flash the official rom , didn't work
4-removing the SIM and SD card and restarting the phone, didn't work
by the way, usb debugging was not active last time the phone was working normally, Also the phone have not experienced any unusual activity like rooting or flashing custom roms or...
What can I do?

I don't have the "eye", only the "standard" M8, but I'll try to help as much as I can, as far as anything that I believe is common between the two M8 versions (unlocking bootloader, flash RUU, etc.).

What is the exact file name? It's best to provide specific file name/version info when asking for help. I've seen a lot of cases where the person "thought" they were flashing the right RUU, but in fact, it was not even the right one.
But based on what you've described so far (bootloader will not unlock, RUU will not run, emmc error) it sounds like a hardware emmc failure.

Yes, *****LOCKED***** it says, I guess it is very serious on this one. Based on knowledge I gathered in these 2 days, I think it should show a black confirmation screen after I try to unlock it (using *.bin file), but it simply does not.

Yes you are right, RUU is the most important part and I did not elaborate. There is a big chance that the RUU is the Achilles Heel!! Exact file name is: 0P6BIMG_M8_UL_M60_SENSE70_MR_HTC_Europe_6.12.401.4_Radio_1.29.214500021.12G_20.72.4196t.01_release_464360_signed

That is not the RUU for the M8 eye. It's the RUU for the "regular" Euro M8. That is why you have signature error. Not sure where you can find the RUU for the "eye".
One more questions, is the phone going to fastbootRUU mode after running the command: fastboot oem rebootRUU
The error "command never completed" would suggest NO. But I'm curious whether the phone actually goes to RUU mode or not. RUU mode is signified by a black screen with large HTC logo. A progress bar will also appear below the logo, when the RUU starts to install. But in your case, you my have not gotten far enough for the progress bar to appear.
If the phone does not in fact even go to RUU mode due to emmc error, then it is probably irrelevant whether you have the right RUU or not. You will not get the RUU to run, if you can't even enter RUU mode.

That is not the RUU for the M8 eye. It's the RUU for the "regular" Euro M8. That is why you have signature error. Not sure where you can find the RUU for the "eye".
One more questions, is the phone going to fastbootRUU mode after running the command: fastboot oem rebootRUU
The error "command never completed" would suggest NO. But I'm curious whether the phone actually goes to RUU mode or not. RUU mode is signified by a black screen with large HTC logo. A progress bar will also appear below the logo, when the RUU starts to install. But in your case, you my have not gotten far enough for the progress bar to appear.

It has been a long time since the last time I was here but the problem is not solved. Sorry for the delay, and No the black screen with HTC logo does not appear.
Is there anything I can do to get rid of this fastboot screen? or the phone is useless
