I'm pretty sure if you can get to your boot loader you can use weaksauce and firewater. I don't think hope is lost.

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.

I have success reflashing Custom ROM with re-unlocking my phone.
Thanks all of your help:highfive:
I have to return my handset for warranty purposes so I want to unroot/re-lock bootloader etc. The process I followed for root and unlock are in this post.
I have the stock ROM the phone came with and I have tried unrooting (which did work obviously) but I am still left with the bootloader unlocked and that warning message when the phone is switched on.
Anybody know how I can remove that and relock the device? I should probably have done that before removing root......
I would just flash back to stock with lg flash tool...

using the restore option with the freegee app just restores the last recovery you had installed before you used freegee to unlock.

Rumrunner won't work with 4.3. You must be on 4.2.2. Shouldn't be long before there's a method for 4.3. Just not yet.

Silly question. Once I use firewater and achieve S-OFF, what next? just install SuperSU from the play store to have root access? Also, do you lose data with Firewater? On 2.10.605.1.
Thanks.
No data loss, but you have to flash cwm or tarp and install superuser from there. At least I think, I'm kinda new at this too.

I believe after you gain S-off you have to install a custom recovery. Then you'll have to flash a ROM with SU in it.
The title is the question. And there is one other question, do I have to use a PC to root or can I find an app that does it for me?

I am aware of sunshine which was made for the latest HTC build. I thought there would be other solutions since I am not on the latest build. Like firewater or rumrunner.

Rumrunner hasn't worked for about the past 4 updates. So unless the phone has been kept in a closet and not updated that would be a waste of time as well.
