Can't run RUU to go back to stock. - T-Mobile HTC One (M8)

Hey guys, right now I'm trying to go back to stock from the GPE RUU. But, when it reboots into RUU mode, it says:
ERROR[159]: IMAGE ERROR
The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.
Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
I do have the correct RUU. I re-locked my bootloader and changed the CID back to T-MOB010. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Sorry, I fixed it. The problem was the HBOOT. I flashed the 3.16.0.000 HBOOT (link), and now the RUU works perfectly.

Hi, can you please explain me the steps you followed to get back your M8 to stock? I need to send my phone for warranty. Thanks.
EDIT: I did it on my own!

Can you post your steps

Sure. I first plugged my phone to my PC and opened android SDK platform tools.
Then, I went to the thread I linked above and flashed the custom Hboot.
Then, I used command fastboot oem lock to relock the bootloader
Then, I rebooted back to normal and I ran the RUU.
After that, the RUU ran fine. Good luck!

You can't use a ruu version lower than your already on until we get s-off I'm afraid

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.

[Q] Can I transfer ROM zip from Fastboot?

I have a problem with my rooted HTC One X. I installed the AOKP 4.2.1 custom ROM on my HTC One X and it was working perfectly. I then tried to flash the CM 10.1.2, by first updating the HBOOT to 1.33.
After updating the HBOOT, I got stuck on the "Initiating Swagger" screen and can't copy any ZIP files to the SDCard.
The Fastboot actually works, as I get the serial from the CMD fastboot devices.
My question is, how can I transfer the cm- 10.1.2-endeavoru.zip file to the device from the fastboot instance?
And, what other steps could you point me to in order to get my device working again.
For reference, my device is CID 11111111, which, was changed to HTC_621 in the HBOOT upgrade process.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Go into the recovery and mount the sdcard as a mass storage device
Mounts & storage - last option in the list (on CWM recovery)
Then copy what you need.

Fastboot orders like giving you access only to bootloader without accessing the hardware , like accessing bios on computer , as dear member just mentioned above you can access your storage from inside recovery or inside a running ROM
beside being stuck at installing swagger it may come to multiple problem, like defective ROM zip file , not appropriate system cleaning before installing , defective CWM or even a defective hard drive
try to erase old system well or try to download the ROM zip again

[Q] HTC Desire Z can't boot, recovery, adb.

Hi.I have a little problem with my HTC, i tried to downgrade and root it but after I did everything it still dont working.I tried to flash with many stock roms from cmd, and with RUU.exe, but its still not working.I tried in cmd and at the end its stopped with radio installing at 95% with:status read failed(too many links) and its now always boots up to fastboot mode.
I have hboot version:0.85.000.5, CID is HTC_102.
Can somebody help me pls?
You will need to find the right RUU and flash back to stock, then if you're able to do this you will need to start fresh with the downgrade and root as laid out in the xda wiki, other methods may lead to this outcome

When i tried permament root it doesnt sent psneuter to my phone, is this a problem or can I unlock the booloader from Fastboot mode?

If you can't find a ROM that will install you can always run an RUU. But I would try to update TWRP or try a different recovery first.
