I had the same problem. Error 140 means there's a corruption in the a cards data structure.
Did you unlock your bootloader?
Pm me with what you have done so far. I'll help as much as I can, but be forewarned you may need to replace your device regardless.

When you run the ruu, you must re-lock your bootloader. Have you locked your bootloader?
Go to this thread, they have the tool you need to fix your phone:

Hope it helps! Good Luck
you say it's bricked, but yet it goes into bootloader you can flash ruu?
i think you maybe misspoke, what happened exactly? can you show pictures?
error 140 bootloader version error is simple, it means that the main version is newer than the one you are trying to flash. since you flashed ics ruu, you cannot go back to gb ruu. you have to follow the guide here by thecubed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529669
if u can take pics first and show me what your phone is doing before you do anything else that will be better
Please don't make two separate threads in two different sections asking for the exact same thing.

IIRC, you have to be able to boot the phone to get this method to work?
I'm having a similar problem and I tried the file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529669 to no avail, it doesn't say an error code it just reboots and goes black after HTC boot screen.
I think my problem started when I tried to flash the OTA from androidninjas; he put the ICS hboot on top and I was too excited to read so I d/l and flash the file (was named PH39IMG...) but when I went to boot it turned black. So I d/l and flash the new file, after using HBOOT to clear out the phone etc. Still no luck. And I've tried numerous GB ruu's as well as every ICS one I can find. Brick?
Definitely interested to hear the fix to this.
Before flashing ICS, did you relock your Hboot & were you running GB?
If your screen went dark, but can still get into hboot, you are fine. Just need a recovery. There is an error with the older standard CWM. So you need to install a new version of recovery.

Yes to both and I thought relocking got rid of root? So I was afraid I wouldn't be able to flash a custom rom.
Moved to General sub section, please pay attention where you open a thread next time

if it's locked..just boot to fastboot, plug the phone into your computer, and run the latest ruu. Then unlock

Hello all,
This morning I decided to clear data/wipe as I wanted to install a new rom, but once I did that the device would not boot up anymore. Yes it was S-Off using the Alpharevx. After I saw that it would not boot up I thought I would try to restore it with the rom that I was using before the S-off (Sasktel Froyo). After flashing the rom I have been stuck in the bootloader with the msg ***Security Warning*** and not been able to fix it since.
I have extracted the rom.zip out of all the stock roms and renamed them PG32IMG but none of them would work... I googled to see if anyone else has had an issue like this and found that an HTC Thunderbolt went through the same thing and all you have to do is flash it with the firmware the phone came with. My Incredible S is from Bell Canada and I cannot find that RUU anywhere...
Can anyone please help me because I really don't know anything else that I can do... I am lost.
I am going to post the image of the bootloader so you guys can see what I am talking about...
Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it.

did you use an goldcard while flashing the PG32IMG.zip? because you will need this
I used a goldcard to flash the Sasktel rom initially, now when I try to flash Sasktel again it says "Main Version is older!". How can I do now when I am in the bootloader?
Is there the stock rom from Bell out by any chance?
When flash new recovery ,do not plug your device in USB.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA App
^ I have already tried that numerous times still no luck.
I don't understand why it will not boot up with Sasktel rom...
EDIT: Is there any way when the phone is in bootloader for Alpharevx to detect it so I can S-Off again? I believe that if I can S-off the phone again I can flash the other ROMs and install Clockwork again... Is that possible?
Anyone any idea?
try get a hold of one of the devs from alpharev, this goes beyond limits for this sections mate ;/

Yes I already have, they have told me that the only way of fixing it is with an XTC clip. Luckily there is someone in my area willing to meet .
Thanks for your help.
An XTC clip is the best option for you...
You cant down grade an S-ON Phone with the goldcard !!! so i dont see ny options for ur case !! u should go with the words of the alpharevx developers !!!

Hey thanks for the help...
I met up with someone that tried to S-Off my phone with the XTC clip and that didn't even work. I think the only way to fix the phone is just wait it out until Bell releases their gingerbread update...
The phone has a froyo Rom but it is stuck with a gingerbread radio. That is why the original froyo Rom you went back to will not work. (Can't downgrade from gingerbread radio to froyo radio) Only option is to some how get a gingerbread Rom on your phone.
I don't think you can flash your phone with an RUU the normal way.(goldcard way)
Check this thread out. Info about flashing an RUU for the a Canadian Incredible S.

I flashed the 6.03.03 radio in gu1dry's thread, but they are actually ruu's (i didn't know) and the "main version" in that ruu was 1400 (ieftm has now pointed it out to gu1dry). I then tried to be smart and downgrade to the optus rom which was a lower version which of course failed half way through but by that time it was too late.
I was however very lucky that the higher version RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1 was posted in Football's thread, so i decide to give it all one last shot. So i ran that ruu with a goldcard and i worked.
Claudiu, i can't reply to your PM for some reason. so just reply here (I think you've disabled PM's)
Claudiu, from command prompt run "fastboot getvar all" with your phone connected while in fastboot this will tell you what main version you are running, you are going to have to get an ruu that is higher than this version, otherwise it won't work.

Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
trying to root back to stock with ruu 5.03.651.3
tried the process in the thread related to this ruu and the aru wizard keeps getting stuck on 1/6 sending been there for about 20 mins have s-on and bootloader locked
Do we need to flash the modified firmware with the newest RUU if we flashed it the 5.03 RUU??
I have noticed on the last couple RUU's if your hboot did not match the RUU it would not work correctly.
So if you are not sure if the hboot matches flash the Full Firmware as that is the one that has the hboot included.
These are my observations...could just be a coincidence lol hope this answers both your questions.

You should be fine the RUU has the firmware included.
Might be a stupid question, but would it be bad to flash the new firmware with an older ROM that wasn't built with it?

I never seen that before, freaked me out a little bit...heh
Decided to install the RUU tonight, but this aruwizard is in front of the ruu window and I cant hit anything but the aruwizard window.
Heres a screenie, any ideas????

Do I need to relock my bootloader before running this? This will be my first time trying to restore to stock so I'm a little hesitant. I'm running stock ROM with some xposed modules and busybox installed. Anything special i should know before running? I've read through the thread and nothing stuck out at me as strange except that some people had to flash firmware first. I'm still s-on and this firmware matches my current one so I don't think i will have to flash it first. Any input to make this as easy and less nerve racking is appreciated.
I cant get my pc to recognize my phone when it is in fastboot. I read in another thread that if I update my firmware it will fix the problem. But I can't update firmware since fastboot doesn't work. Im using Windows 8.1, hboot 1.44. Can I get some advice?

i m trying to flash firmware .zip it just keep saying signature fails and giving error 12 please my hboot is 1.57
So i bought this phone used and i was waiting to activate it because i was on Verizon and didn't have time to switch to sprint. I ended up unlocking, rooting, installing PAC Rom (cause that one was cool on my HTC Rezound). When i went to the Sprint store, the phone wouldn't activate on the network. while i was there i tried to flash a stockish ROM and the phone crashed/froze while installing.
For the longest time, connecting as a media device wouldn't work but i finally got that and adb/fastboot working again. I have tried restoring my old stock backup, installing a new stock rooted ROM, installing a different ROM, reinstalling PAC.. PAC is the only ROM that doesn't keep crashing.
I have tried searching for other threads on XDA and elsewhere.
I have not tried flashing a RUU because i didn't think it would work but am willing to try if someone thinks it might.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I am without a phone now since Sprint already ported my number over from Verizon.

I found the actual latest RUU and that one flashed without error and once everything settled, the phone was as it should have been.
5.05.651.2 (latest as of 10/29/14)
This actually happend to me last night after I flashed ElementalX 18 kernel on Eragon v54.0. The 3 Sense based ROM's I tried to flash after would crash and boot loop during setup. I found I could get a CM/AOSP based ROM to boot., but not setup. Wifi worked but no mobile data, and no phone.
For me it turns out the Radio got corrupted. I Re-flashed the latest radio and all was good again. I was able to flash a Sense ROM without any crashing. I didn't have to RUU and lose any data.
Hopefully this helps someone else this might happen to, so they don't have to RUU and start over or lose any data.

Hello!
I'd like to install ViperOne on my HTC ONE (M7).
[ My phone spec and useful info are on the bottom of this post. ]
Is that the way it should be done(?):
- Unlock bootloader to S-OFF (By using HTCDev or Temproot)
- Install Custom Recovery
- Install Custom Rom
I'm not sure which way to unlock bootloader I should use.
If I choose HTCDev I'll loose my warranty and I will not be able to S-ON again, right?
So maybe its better to use "temproot" in this case?
Also I'm not sure if my ADB is that place where I put other files? Take look at last screenshot!
Sorry for a lame questions, but I really can't figure it out by myself!

No matter which way you unlock your bootloader, if you can not remove the "Tampered" or make it "Locked" instead of "Relocked" you will void your waranty. The only way to accomplish both of those feats is to obtain S-OFF so you can reset it properly. You don't need S-OFF to flash ViperOne, you need an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, root and the current/latest firmware. If you are S-ON, you would need to flash the latest firmware while the bootloader is "Locked", then you could unlock bootloader, custom recovery, ViperOne.
Unlock bootloader using HTCDev method
Flash custom recovery, recommend TWRP (check ViperOne thread for which one)
Obtain S-OFF
Flash latest firmware for your version
Make a nandroid backup
Flash ViperOne
As far as ADB goes, it looks like you are missing fastboot.exe. I would use the Minimal ADB & Fastboot Tool and place my files in that folder.

The reason you want a nandroid backup of your system, if something goes wrong down the road having the backup makes recovery easier. Just remember, this is software and it can fail leaving you stuck in a boot loop the nandroid saved to your computer can come to your rescue.
Hi there this is my first post so excuse me if i'm unclear about stuff. if you need any info just gimme a shout and i can find it for you!
I have an M7 on O2 (UK), I've had it pretty much since it release in 2013.
Upon getting the phone i immediately rooted whilst on Android Version 4.4.3, it's the Sense Version too (i don't know if that's relevant or not).
Anyway it's been a while since this, and i've lost a lot of the knowledge i had on Android & Rooting etc.
I'm looking to un-root my phone to get the OTA Updates which have been alerting my (very annoying) since 2013!
Last week i began watching tutorials and reading up, a few days in and i gave it my first attempt..
I first re-locked my Bootloader successfully and then tried using the RUU Software but was unlucky with numerous versions (i'm still unsure about how to find the RIGHT one). After hours & hours i was at and end and couldnt seem to find the right one for my phone and i gave up.
Since "re-locking" my Bootloader i've been facing an issue where every time i power up or restart my phone it boots in the Bootloader's Fastboot mode, from here i have to navigate to 'reboot'... the phone then restarts and this time round i get my usual home screen.
I'm unsure as to what direction to go now as i'm scared i will brick my phone, i guess i have 2 options;
A. Continue to try and return to stock and then decide if i wish to re-root (probably not)
B. Unlock the Bootloader once again (only this will wipe my phone, and i can't find the original stock rom thus leading to a brick i expect?)
Hope someone can help, any questions please do not hesitate to ask!

If you want to return to stock, you can use the 7.18.206.51 ruu (its the latest version for your phone)
Instructions as post #1, ruu at post #2:

Once the RUU flashed you can unlock the bootloader again and re-root. Be sure to use the latest version of supersu.

Thanks a bunch man! Please could you tell me how you found the specific RUU for my phone?
Please could you tell me the method you used to locate the RUU as i had so much trouble before, i was wondering if there is an easy way find the correct RUU (by looking for certain codes etc) ?

won't unlocking the bootloader after flashing RUU just wipe the phone again?

Unlocking will wipe user data only.

So would that be my media files like photos, music, apps etc?
