RUU Error 140: Bootloader version error

I had ota 1.26.401.2 on my phone prior to my phone messing up and then not recovering. Ran two different RUUs, one that was a downgrade image and the other was the same image that was on my phone (1.26.401.2). Both failed with an error 140: bootloader version error. Then I downloaded and ran a newer image through RUU (1.28.401.9), and it successfully flashed to my phone.
Now I have an updated hboot which actually pisses me off because if someone finds an exploit in a prior version and there's not any way to downgrade hboot, then I'm effed. I know I shouldn't be crossing my fingers anyway for s-off, but like to think that there's a good chance. Why did RUU give me those errors?

The error indicates that the bootloader on the phone is a newer version than the one in the RUU being flashed. That explains why the downgrade image failed, but you shouldn't be getting that when flashing the same version as is on the phone. Although you say you originally had "ota 1.26.401.2"; that version was the shipped software version not an OTA upgrade. The first OTA released was 1.28.401.9, so if you had installed an OTA since getting the phone it would have actually been 1.28, which would explain the 1.26 RUU failing as well. Other than that there's no reason I can think of for that to happen.

Exactly as stated, without S-OFF you can't go down an HBOOT version - you can only match or increase it

Yeah I had the factory shipped software 1.26.401.2. Never installed an ota update, so I'm confused why 1.26.401.2 ruu failed giving me error 140. Kind of sucks, whatever I'll get over it.

The same problem

Back up your ROM. Then ensure the device is locked:
fastboot oem lock
Run:
fastboot getvar version-main
To check you have a '401 device and then flash either the 2.17.401 RUU or the 3.14.401 RUU (if you want Jelly Bean).
The hboot I'll be updated, but we're not getting S-Off, and really, there's no need for it.

Same problem with my HTC One X

I am having the same problem with my HTC One X when trying to run RUU. I have tried 3 different RUU's for my Optus HTC One X (CID Optus001),
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.26.980.3_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251942_signed,
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.28.980.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_258004_signed,
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.29.980.11_Radio_1.1204.105.14_release_260560_signed.
I bricked my phone and I have no ROM because it broke when I was messing around with backups, recoveries, etc... If I start the phone normally it stops at HTC Quietly Brilliant.
I can flash a recovery at any time, but I have tried multiple CWM Recoveries to try to mount USB Storage so I can install a ROM but USB storage would not successfully mount, it would just say sdcard0 shared-unmounted.
I have flashed the stock recovery.img and relocked the bootloader, then tried to install those 3 RUU's with no luck.
Bootloader reads:
ENDEAVORU PVT SHIP S-ON RL

CPLD-None
MICROP-None
RADIO-5.1204.162.29

I ran 'fastboot getvar version-main' and it came back with
version-main: 3.14.980.27

Any help at all would be much appreciated as I need my phone working again ASAP.
Thank you.

Flash RUU

Hi
I've a problem i need to flash a RUU to send back my HOX to HTC so i run "fastboot getvar version-main" and i get 3.14.401.619 i chose
this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.27_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_298897_signed.exe
but when i run it it never end so i unplug the usb cable after one hour and it's like nothing happen my HBoot is 1.31 my CID HTC_203
Can someone help on how to flash the right ruu
(ps: i didn't forgot to relock the bootloader)

What's your Cid ?
Fastboot oem readcid
Maybe its a branded ruu you need ?
And did u run the ruu with admin rights from pc

My CID is HTC_203 and yes i run it as admin
don't know what to do :s

Try to do it again, battery has enough power ?
Usb 2.0 port, not a Usb 3.0 port in use. Have seen problems using a 3.0 USB port !
Using the charger cable (original one)

Solved by flashing the last RUU
RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.14.401.31_R_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_302015_signed.exe
thanks

:thumbup: enjoy

I also have a problem, after I run the ruu it says signature error.
CID: HTC__102
version-main: 3.14.401.27
HBOOT 1.36.0000

[Q] Back to basic?

If I really really want to do a super duper factory reset. What should I do? I'm on ARHD 18.2 and hboot 1.39. 3.14.401.31 5.1204.162.29
Back to basic as far as i can...
I have issues with my wifi, I have to restart the wifi after awhile. My screen behave strange and in non responsive from time to time. The battery drains in like 8 hours, earlier it was ok for like 36 hours, that was i think when I used hboot 1.31. All this errors appeared when I went for hboot 1.39 I think.
I understand that downgrading hboot is not possible. But everything else?!?
Thanks for assisting.

Run a RUU for a super duper factory reset ruu.androidfiles.org

I guess you need to do the fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main
I think that the main version posted by henrik is from the custom rom that is based on 3.14.401.....

RUU failed.
Shoud I do anything pre RUU?
Fastboot something? Relock?

Yes the bootloader needs to be relocked. And you have to run the ruu with administrator rights. And keep the phone in the bootloader/fastboot usb mode
Are you sure you got the right ruu. Did you do
Fastboot getvar version-main
And did it came up with the same number you posted in the first post ?

Yes same number.
When i lock it it will only boot to bootloader. To run RUU I need to get in to the phone.
Should I do anyting else in fastboot?
Regards
/Henrik

You can run the ruu in fastboot mode too.

Yeah like i said in my previous post

Thanks allot, now i'm back to scratch. The issues with the touchpanel is still there, the top part is not consistent sometime it works and sometime it doesn't. We will see if the batterylife is better.
Thanks again.

No problem mate, i hope it Works out fine for you in the end :thumbup:

[Q] com.android.phone stopped..!

Hi guys.Im new to HTC one X.I just bought an HTC one X from e-bay and it came pre rooted thought the phone looks brandnew.I tried to insert a sim and my phone keeps on showing an error saying process.com.android.phone is stopped and it does not show any signal bars.After several reboots sometimes signal bars do appear sometimes.But i am unable to make or recieve calls as my phone app keeps on force closing. My phone has stock ICS.
So if i flash a stock RUU will the problem be solved or is there anything that i can do to make my phone work?thank you.

I would recommend flashing a stock RUU.
You would need to check your CID and whether your bootloader is locked or unlocked. To do this, you can hold power+volume up down buttons to reboot phone to bootloader and see the first line.
The RUU you flash must match your CID.

And post the outcome of this fastboot command
Fastboot getvar version-main

Thanks for the help(i hit the thanks button too
one more question.Mine has got super CID.
So what RUU should i flash?

You mean Super CID 11111111?
Did you check with:
fastboot getvar cid
fastboot oem readcid
If my understanding is correct, you should be able to flash any RUU with any CID in that case.
Just make sure the RUU you are flashing is for your device model (HTC One X Endeavor, not HTC One XL or anything else)
I have never owned a supercid device though, so you might want to confirm with someone else.
