I am fixing this phone for a friend. He gave me the phone with TWRP installed, and Bootloader unlocked with S-OFF ON.
I tried to relock bootloader to flash stock RUU_M8_TMOUS_1.57.531.7 and it fails with error 12 bootloader signature verification error.
Then relocked the bootloader and got into twrp. Nothing will mount. The phone won't clear cache, Data, system , Dalvik or anything else.
I tried to restore a nandroid backup and it fails. Literally everything fails, and all fastboot flashes end with error 12.
What is the bootloader signature verification error 12? Please help me, I'm kinda stumped.
Here's the get VAR information:

Unlock the bootloader, adb push the correct nandroid backup to the phone. Fastboot flash the boot.img and perform a full wipe and restore the backup.
Cause you're S-ON you can't flash an older HBOOT onto the phone so the RUU will fail
purchased my phone T-mobile M8 used and it had been converted to GPE. There is a crackling issue with the top speaker and I'd like to return it for warranty repair. I haven't seen a great thread on converting a tmo m8 back to stock from GPE so I thought I'd share the research I have done and ask for help since I have not been successful yet...
With adb/fastboot, drivers, etc all in place...

Run the RUU in Windows. Everything connects and it starts installing then - I get the Error 159 [IMAGE]
I have followed the steps above, downloaded twice, repeated and still...no dice. Any clue what I'm missing? I'm sure there will be other folks who need to revert and would benefit from this.

You probably realize it at this point; but my rule of thumb is always make a backup before flashing anything (or at a minimum, have a known good backup or known good ROM ready to flash). Its got nothing to do with how "easy" a process is. Things can go wrong even with the simplest mods, to the most knowledgeable users, and even if you do nothing wrong.
You don't need s-off to update your firmware.
Either run a Lollipop (or Marshmallow) RUU intended for your CID (relock bootloader in order to RUU). Keeping in mind that this will wipe the phone.
Alternately (such as if there is no RUU for your version), restore a stock ROM that corresponds to your current firmware, restore corresponding stock recovery. Then do OTA update, which will also update your firmware.
After updating the firmware by either of the 2 above methods, just flash TWRP back onto the phone (in case of the RUU method, you'll need to unlock the bootloader again, before you can flash TWRP) and flash your custom ROM of choice.
If you do fastboot getvar all, and post the results (delete IMEI and serial numbers) we can offer some more specific assistance.
thanks for taking your time to help,

Since you're S-ON, you will not be able to flash RUUs or firmware below your current ROM version. You can however restore twrp backups of Lollipop ROMs which work fine with your current 6.12 Marshmallow firmware. Otherwise, you can use twrp to flash any custom ROM based on marshmallow & lollipop.
Here's a link to stock marshmallow RUU (6.12.401.4) in zip format, which you should flash from bootloader.

I flash the twrp's recovery. I can access to it but when I try to go to install the zip file, twrp refuse to install it with "Zip file is corrupt". I double check md5 sum and they seems to be correct =( .
I also try to flash it with fastboot, just in case, and no result but with a different error: "(bootloader) zip header checking... FAILED (remote: 32 header error) "

You don't flash RUUs with TWRP, you flash them with fastboot in RUU mode. Which you seemed to know based on your top post, so I'm not sure why you tried to flash with TWRP this time.

You need to relock your bootloader to RUU with s-on.
Command: fastboot oem lock

I'm not sure which way you want to go, but:
1. To flash the RUU zip file:
A. You need to put it at the root of your SD CARD and rename it to 0P6BIMG.zip
B. Turn your phone off, then start it into bootloader.
C. Follow the instructions in RED to flash. You will lose all data as the RUU will format all partitions.
2. To install a custom ROM or restore a twrp-specific backup, use TWRP's install function, or restore function respectively.
Cheers

I'm not sure what RUUs you have tried to flash, but this is the last RUU version for your model (T-Mo Germany)
You can flash it with fastboot commands in RUU mode, or you can flash it via the SD card method.
The SD card method is easiest. Rename the .zip by deleting everything in the name of it except for 0P6BIMG (and .zip of course), put it onto your extSD, and boot to bootloader. The rest is pretty much automatic.
Note that since you are S-On, you will have to relock your bootloader first with either method. The command for that is fastboot oem lock
Good luck!
Very helpful thread. Wanted to ask for help here, but already solved the issue
I've spent all day trying to get my M8 (Sprint)unrooted and back to stock. I followed countless tutorials that involved locking the bootloader then running the RUU installer. Everything usually works up until i have to use the RUU, which always fails. I've tried a ton of different versions that all say they're for the sprint m8 but they always have an error and say to get the correct rom or something like that.
Any help is much appreciated
