tried rebooting, all kinds of stuff but would only boot to recovery mode.
I don't know what "all kinds of stuff" means. Please try to be specific about what you tried, for that type of statement to be meaningful or helpful in any way.

After lots of google time it appears that i need to flash it, i have everything installed on my pc ready to flash and did try but got stuck at "signature verify fail?
It appears you are new to the lingo and terms, but just so you know "flash" is just a general term meaning to install firmware or software to one of these devices. Just saying you are trying to "flash it" doesn't really tell us what you are trying to do. I see from a later statement, that you seem to be trying an RUU. Even so, please be specific as to the exact version number and file name.


so maybe im using the wrong RUU?
Possibly and probably. But we'd need to know what RUU you are trying, to answer that question.

Also, was the phone stock before you had the problem (no mods like unlocked bootloader, root, etc.)?

On the bootloader screen, does it say UNLOCKED, RELOCKED, or LOCKED near the top (one of those)?

Hi, thank you for the responses, as pointed out I am new to all of this so sorry for not being clearer with my original post. OK my phone is stock never been messed with, it was from carphone warehouse in the UK and is carrier unlocked. The device itself says "locked" and is S-on. The stuff I tried was factory reset, recovery etc from the options listed with no luck, so basically guys I'm stuck as what to do and how to do it? Any further help would be appreciated please.
