I can't get any help on the IRC channel for the error I am getting.
They don't support the RUU updates.
getting the error FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail).
RUU version on my phone: 3.15.
I have downloaded the 3.15 file and checked the MD5SUM.
I run the following commands:
chmod 755 RabiesShot adb fastboot
fastboot oem lock
phone shows: Tempered, Relocked, Security Warning on top
fastboot erase cache - success
fastboot oem rebootRUU - success
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip - error FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail).
I have spent 4 hours yesterday trying to update.
Downloaded the file one more time just to make sure.
I would appreciate any other suggestions.
thanks.
just to clarify,you are on a stock rom now,correct? if you go to settings/about phone/ your software build number is 3.15.651.16,correct?
RUU.zip is just a stock ruu. i cant say why they have you run it,but it is 100% stock,signed by htc,and must be corrupt somehow,thus failing the signiture verification. could be a firewall or antivirus is somehow corrupting the download,or they possible have the wrong file/md5sum posted. you could try downloading the stock 3.15 ruu from
here and then extract rom.zip from the .exe file in this manner:
the .exe utilities can be finicky,so if you have trouble getting it to run, you can extract "rom.zip" in the following manner:
-start the utility
-check the "i understand" box to move on to the next screen
-hide the utility temporarily out of site
-search your C drive for "rom.zip". you will find it in a temporary location(it will be in a different spot each time you run the utility)
-open the folder location,and transfer rom.zip to a safe location on your PC.
-unhide and cancel the utility,youre done with it.
-rom.zip can be renamed to PxxxIMG and flashed in hboot,from a FAT32 sd card
compare the md5 of rom.zip to unlimiteds ruu.zip and see if they are the same. if not,you could try the process using your rom.zip(renamed ruu.zip to keep the commands the same)
This is just an idea I had, not sure if it will work or not. You will also have to do extra steps to root the phone. But if you are game, then I would re-lock the phone and accept the ota to get you to 3.16. I would then root the phone from there. Again, it is just a thought.
id prolly avoid that,if the phone is on 3.15 now,if for no other reason than the baby raccun steps are increasing the margin for error. i venture to guess that this minor update is using the same hboot,and baby raccun is just changing the main version so the 3.15 ruu will flash. i dont think being onthe newer software will increase your changes,i think you just have a bad,corrupt,or incorrect ruu.
if you happen to have more than one RUU.zip in your dirty raccun folder,make sure you delete all but the one that is 3.15
hope that helps
