Does Anyone have RUU file for Asia_HK_1.28.708.15

As title,
I'm having trouble with bricking my HTC ONE X, but I cannot recover my phone using the older version of RUU with Error 140, and I cannot find any RUU file for Asia_HK_1.28.708.15, does anyone have this version of RUU file?
Or anyway to S-Off my phone? As I know, I can flash older version of RUU if I S-off my phone.
Thank you very much.

Push, anyone help?

No S-Off and no 1.29.708.15 RUU (you got the version wrong, right?)

I can't find that version your looking for.
If your hboot etc updated, you can no longer use older RUU versions.
1.29.708.9 is the latest RUU I think that you can try.

He has 1.29.708.15, that RUU isn't available.
Best bet is to restore android backup and don't forget boot.img.

Sorry? Could you explain more? Thank you very much!

Can you confirm that you have 1.29.708.15 (not 1.28...)?
And secondly, since you can't install the RUU, as it doesn't exist, what problem are you trying to resolve?
You're unlocked, so you can restore a backup (which you should have taken immediately after installing clockworkmod) and its boot.img, or you can install another custom ROM.

First, thanks for your kindly help.
I just forgot to mention that I've relocked my phone before my first RUU
And I cannot get into Android OS ofcourse, as well as Recovery.
When I turn on my phone, it just automatically boot into bootloader.
I've tried to RUU again but unfortunately it didn't work out as I mentioned.

Just pretend your phone is fine and go through the whole process of unlocking and installing a custom ROM.
Oh, you might try
fastboot erase cache
To fix recovery.

I can't fathom why the RUU install would not work.
As long as your in fastboot USB, there isnt any reason why it wouldn't work.
There is a RUU for 1.29.708.9,
I'm guessing he's trying to use an older RUU with an older hboot.

I know I haven't had it confirmed, but through my awesome psychic powers, I know he has 1.29.708.15, therefore no RUU that we have is new enough.

He's needs to tell us his OS software then.
But if his hboot was updated, its his only option.
Unless he's not doing it correctly, I can't see why it wouldn't work.

Thanks both of you first.
It seems my hboot has been updated and it seems there is no way to downgrade it.
The only way I can try is to re-Unlocker my phone.
Hope it will work.

As long as your adb is working, you shouldn't have any problems doing this.
Good luck, and let us know how you get on.
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA Premium HD app

You don't need to find the specific version of an RUU, you only need to make sure the region of your RUU matches up with your phone's country code.
If you are sure you have an Asia_HK device, make sure you download the Asia_HK RUU, if it doesn't work, re-download fast boot, run the erase cache, relock your bootloader and install the RUU.

Why won't any body listen to me?
He has 1.29.708.15, that RUU is not available and NO, you can't flash an older one.

Locating RUU for phone

So the speaker in my htc one has blown and i am looking at bringing it back under warranty, only my phone is modded and i need to get it back to stock. but i am having a very hard time finding an RUU to install on my htc one. I used rumrunner to S-off my phone, but somewhere along the lines of trying to get CWM installed i got S-on..... So i need to find an RUU compatible with my S-on phone. Thanks for the help!

What exactly does rumrunner do?

Kinda self explanatory, what does rumrunner do to the phone. What parts of the phone are effected? Does a new kernel get updated? If I flashed a stock kernel would I be theoretically "stock"? I'm trying to fix my phone because I managed to get s-on and I want to go back to stock and send my phone for warranty.

Well. S-ON is how your phone came.. so that would be stock, for the bootloader.
rumrunner sets the S-ON to S-OFF (Security On/Security Off)
Once a phone is turned S-OFF it's like you have FULL control of the phone. You can flash a ROM and a kernel as many times as you want (as long as it is made for your phone)
You can be rooted and flash ROMs while not being S-OFF, but S-OFF is like the best of the best for HTC.
You can set the flag back from S-OFF back to S-ON for like you want say a warranty purpose.
This is when the "RUU" comes in handy.
Problem is you need to be S-OFF to run it..
So, you would have to re-run rumrunner, to get S-OFF again, run the RUU, (this will set you back to 100% stock)
then you can run the command to set you to S-ON and you should be good to go.

Magic. It does awesome magic.

Well I used rumrunner and managed to set my phone back to s-on using an adb command. If I try to run rumrunner again it doesn't work and says to "READ". So now I have to somehow get s-off. The forum says you need stock ROM and stock kernel, can I flash a stock kernel and then run rumrunner?

Don't forget, rumrunner needs stock EVERYTHING, including ROM, kernel recovery, s-on and a locked bootloader. So if you still have adb connectivity, relock the bootloader. Search the forum for the fastboot command to return to "locked", not "relocked". @scotty1223 made a guide to change the bootloader.

You actually don't need a locked bootloader. I did mine when it was unlocked.

What ROM are you running? Why do you believe you only need to flash a stock kernel and not a stock ROM? You're missing something which is why it says to "READ". You aren't following the directions exactly.
If you want help, you need to provide more information. Why did you run the fastboot command to go back to S-On? (Just curious)

What about the signed RUU? Can't that be run while S-On?

I'm still running the stock ROM. I never found a custom ROM with the things I wanted. I had a hard time getting cwm installed and someone tricked me into using the command to switch back to s-on. But I'm trying to get the s-off so I can use an RUU

Flyhalf has a signed RUU uploaded on his site.

can I use any of those while being s-on?
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app

The signed RUU (the one with the really absurdly long filename) is specifically for flashing while your phone is still S-ON.

There is no special method. If it's an encrypted RUU then it works for S-On.

Sorry I just haven't had time yet to actually reset my phone and I was trying to get all my questions out so when I did finally have time I wouldn't have to ask questions then. One last question, am I correct saying the ruu resets all data on the phone?

Yes, it does.
Also, when you fastboot oem lock, you will see an error message but before it you will see that the bootloader did lock, so don't worry. I just tested it out.
If you want to have the current status on your bootloader just type in fastboot reboot-bootloader

Thanks, I did not know that. Guess I'm still not clear which parts of the nand are protected by S-on....
Edit: Never mind - wrong again

are there any other methods to get S-Off? I've been trying firewater for hours now and it fails every time. even tried loading roms up to the phone whilst it's copying. Nothing works. It's a standard EUR One.

This will give you S-OFF but it's a paid app. Read the whole page before proceeding

Its confirmed to work. It runs tests to make sure your device is compatible before making you buy a licence. Just make sure you have root prior.

I know there are tons of threads about this and I tried to find the correct ones, but I just want to double check I'm doing this correctly. If someone could just give me the basic steps to follow I will be more than grateful.
Basically, the phone needs to be sent back to HTC soon so I want it to be official. Right now, I am S-OFF, TWRP, and running ViperRom. I have an sd card.
Thanks

Flash a RUU? You're s-off, just change the cid and flash away. There are some guides in the general forums

If your carrier has an RUU that's the only method. Unless you have a system image backup that you made in TWRP prior to rooting.
