Testnet transaction - OPCODE MISSING OR NOT UNDERSTOOD error

Question

I'm trying to broadcast a manually generated raw testnet transaction. I'm getting the following error from SmartBit: PUSH TRANSACTION ERROR: 16: MANDATORY-SCRIPT-VERIFY-FLAG-FAILED (OPCODE MISSING OR NOT UNDERSTOOD).

My raw transaction looks like this:

Assuming that the error indicates a problem with the scriptsig, breaking down the scriptSig, it looks like this:

What am I doing wrong? The spender's address is: mhJwViAyjAdKoEFNPcX96zN2HxZpv69avm.

EDIT: I dropped the extra 0x04 and adjusted the 1 byte public key length. I'm still getting the same error. ScriptSig looks like this now:

Answer 1

41 hex equals 65. So the following string should be 65 bytes, but it is 66 bytes. As arubi lined out, there is an error with the double "04" - it only needs one.

Quick proof: when I verify the pubkey, I get the right address: 04f89c713f44615ad5fdc16f1ef8628351a1cce79ee96130a0e4a6eb09d05278cef28cb002a6ad2ad53181b01d03f931538488a7a689d83684e54822305205d5ba

so the pub key is wrongly assembled into the sigscipt. On the S-value: I can see, that it was extended with a double "0", but the value still remains "high":

checking S-value is less than N/2, no...
    --> S is not smaller than N/2, need new S-Value (new_s = N - s)
    new S=4ECBED0519B3649CBEF69530CA8726C4065E1AA8D9128939F120419D62B6313F

when changing the S-Value, the length fields might need to be adapted... Just for curiosity: what tool are you using to assemble the tx?

Answer 2

Let's ignore the high-s value in the signature for now : 46022100dc6c14b905647fc0efde3d37079853bb1cedbcdf2cfdecac6665a3b8b8b2395d022100b13412fae64c9b6341096acf3578d93ab450c23dd6361701ceb21cef6d80100201

The pubic key push seems malformed. Why the extra 0x04 after the 0x41 bytes push?

04f89c713f44615ad5fdc16f1ef8628351a1cce79ee96130a0e4a6eb09d05278cef28cb002a6ad2ad53181b01d03f931538488a7a689d83684e54822305205d5ba is a valid public key, so I'm assuming it's the 0x04 that's out of place.

The pubkey's own 0x04 byte at the start indicates an uncompressed pubkey.
