I have been having call issues with my phone and need to send it back to VZW.
This phone was Rooted, with S-Off and Unlocked in the Bootloader, I started researching today how to put it back to stock and in the process I have simply soft bricked my phone and have tried and exhausted everything I could find.

When I reboot into RUU and try to flash the Decrypted file for my 1.10.65.10 it fails:
C:\fastboot>fastboot flash zip M7RUU.zip
sending 'zip' (1178304 KB)...
OKAY [ 60.146s]
writing 'zip'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 196.594s

I am not able to go into or load any recovery files either, I am only able to do fastboot commands and no adb commands.
I really have searched all over xda forums and have not found the answer

My HTC currently will not boot and is able to fastboot only.
It is Displaying:

You must run an encrypted version of the RUU since you are back to S-ON. If you stayed at S-OFF you can run the decrypted RUU. Try to S-OFF again and then PM me and I will send you a link to help you out. If you can't. Run the following RUU. Link below.

@tomwatez make sure when you hook to usb. In the command

I actually have been using those commands and have been running it in RUU mode all day, been at it for about 8 hrs trying all sorts of different things.
The thing different now is that I have a link to a signed ru instead... trying it now, its been running for about 10 mins and is at this point:

Been having lots of issues with breaking up and dropped calls, not to mention the speaker is crackling..Verizon exhausted the troubleshooting and said we will send you a replacement. I wanted to try putting it back to stock to see if those things were still happening... So now that it is stock and I had s-off previously should I be good to go to redo s-off and rom, root it if I chose to keep it and it works better :)

The directions and link that was listed worked perfectly and I'm back up and running.
Thank you All! Lets see if the one I get is pre 4.3 or not.. I may just send it back if mine is working better.

Got the replacement today, sounds and looks great.. Best of all it was on 4.2.2 and 1.10.605.10, s-on, however the hboot is on 1.54.
I'm trying s-off right now and it seems to be going good so far, will report if it doesn't unlock...

Thanks again for your great support!

Thank you for your time and help. Please let me know if I can try something. I really appreciate all that right now. THANKS!!!!

    Heh, VZW RUU's are not exe files. So yea, wrong files. VZW RUU's have to be run through fastboot oem RUU mode, you need adb/fastboot binaries installed, and have to push the RUU through command lines in windows or linux.

    You can try pushing this, the 4.3 RUU, but i don't think it will work.

    http://goo.gl/JEkyCk

    Here is how -

    Place the zip in your fastboot/adb directory on your computer.
    Put the device in fastboot mode
    (Volume down and power until menu appears, select fastboot using power button)
    Connect the device to the computer
    Enter the following commands from terminal/command prompt in the fastboot directory, one at a time:
    fastboot oem rebootRUU (this puts the device in RUU mode)
    fastboot flash zip rom.zip (rename file to rom.zip)
    It will say that the update did not finish, to flush again, so repeat the above step:
    fastboot flash zip rom.zip

    It always fails and asks you to flush on the first attempt as it redoes partitions, so that is why you have to run the flash command twice. After the command window says "finished" you can use "fastboot reboot" to end RUU mode on the phone.

    Edit - i have no idea when the signed RUU for 4.4.2 will be available, if ever. Verizon sucks. The only thing i could find was an OTA which won't work unless you had a working version of stock 4.3 on the phone.

    Just so you know - NEVER turn s-on unless you are sending your phone in on warranty, and never do that until the very last thing. Once you go s-on you rely on exploits to do anything except flash the matching RUU file. S-off = being able to flash any RUU for your model, not just the current one, plus if you had s-off you could just flash firmware, recovery then a rom and be done with this.
