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

Stock ROM Reset | 1.31.651.2 + 1.29.651.10 | Stock Recovery Included

If you are still S-On (or S-off but lazy or tentative) and want a simple way to return to the stock ROM and also be able flash back the stock radio and recovery then this may be for you.
XDA member migascalp gave me the idea of packaging stock ROM's with the aroma installer and include the ability to flash the stock recovery also as sort of a poor mans RUU since so many still are S-on and cannot properly run a RUU.
I have been making these for a few different versions for the GSM model M7 UL:
See here: http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/
I got a request to do one for the Sprint Variant, so here it is. To be clear, I personally do not own the Sprint version, so I couldn't test this, however it is a fairly basic script and I only changed the partition info for formatting and copying the data. Thanks to XDA member @(^_^)@ for the partition layout.
If you are looking to run the stock ROM but rooted (You can add root during my installer) or modded then you will probably want one of these:

Thanks to Indirect for the firmware and stock rom dumps.
Thanks to the.emilio for Radio information.
You simply flash in recovery like installing any other rom.
Here are the screen shots of the Aroma Installer. Sorry for some the bad edits, its really hard to get a good pic taken manually at bootloader or recovery:

It seems like the Radio flashing was a problem, so I have removed it from the package. It will not show up as an option during the installer.
ROM and Recovery flash fine.

Stuck on the "Installing Stock Rom" screen. Won't flash anything, just stays at 0.00%. Just stuck on that screen... I'm HTC Dev-unlocked only, on stock 1.31
Edit: Tried it again, this time with just the recovery, no radio, and it worked fine :good: Still waiting for it to reboot but it looks good.

OK, I know in TWRP when finished you have select to reboot, I didn't insert that into the script.
Odd that it is the Radio that has the issue. I will pull the package for now and update it so there is no choice for Radio install only recovery.
Thanks

Uploading new version without the option to flash the radio.
I think most are just concerned with ROM and Recovery anyway.
I will update OP when new link is live.

New version with no option to flash radio is now live.
OP Updated.

And as the post says, it will return me to 100% OEM Stock ROM and recovery without needing S-OFF first?

That is correct.
Well technically 99% as the stock radio was pulled from the package and can't be installed with the rom and recovery. The radio version shouldn't matter but you can always manually flash the correct radio before running this installer.

This demo is of AT&T Stock ROM and then OTA but the install and procedure is the same. I can't update this video for the roms in the this thread because I don't have a Sprint phone.

Well, I can say that this has worked for me. I flashed the radios, did the reset and back on all stock everything. The only issues are that Qualcomm's Enhanced Location stops working, and my phone randomly rebooted once but that may have been coincidental. I just v wished I had saved the firmware update to dropbox so I wouldn't have to download it again.

My issue was I am s-on and running a 4.3 Rom. There was no way to get the entire firmware package (PRI, firmware, radio's, etc) without being s-off. I noticed revone AND moonshine wouldn't work on the new 1.55hboot so I used this download and flashed it then manually did the OTA update to 4.3. Yes I lost root, yes my Qualcomm would not work, however, I got the FULL firmware update. I then just re-rooted and flashed OMJs deodexed and life is all good. Thank you for making this, it helped me a ton. Now I just gotta wait for an s-off method on hboot 1.55.

if you have at any point upgrade to 4.3 from 4.1 using a rooted rom, back up your 0 folder or this process will wipe it out completely.

Doesn't 0 live in the media folder? I checked the wipe script and it should leave everything in /data/media alone and I thought that would include the 0 folder.

New Version Posted
I created a package with the slightly older version. May be useful for those that have older firmware and no touchscreen on 1.31.651.2.

Just to be clear, I can flash this to get back to bone-stock. Then I can do the OTA to get the new 4.3 firmware?
I am currently running Team Nocturnal's GPE(4.2.2) and S-On with ClockworkMod Recovery. Thanks guys.

Yes, As long as your current firmware version matches the version of the stock rom reset.

Ok great! Forgive my ignorance on this, but how do I confirm this? I see I have a Baseband of 1.00.20.0626...

That is the radio version. To check your firmware, boot to your bootloader screen (Hold power and Vol Down) and the firmware version should show for the line OS.

Can't find my RUU

I have been looking around but i can't find my RUU.
I want to return my phone back to stock, since i can't update my phone while rooted.
Also my experience with this is seriously 0 (buddy of mine rooted this), so i'm sorry if i might sound stupid.
I have downloaded all the Ruu files from the return back to stock forum here and non of them worked.
My software number is: 1.29.111.11
Thanks in advance

Alright, now that I have a clear mind and actually read your question completely...
When you tried the previous RUUs before, did they fail during flash or did Android not function correctly when you got in?
If the RUU flash failed, you more than likely still have an unlocked bootloader, which was required during the root process and the RUU does not like, so it fails.
Considering your knowledge on Android/HTC One, I'm going to point you here, download the Toolkit, extract it to somewhere... Note: I am not affiliated with the development of the Toolkit, I have used it before and IMO it is a great program, very HTC One noob friendly.
On your phone make sure USB Debugging is enabled, then, launch the Toolkit -> On the left hand side, under Basic ADB, click Bootloader. Your phone will turn off, then get into the Bootloader.
At the top, it should say Unlocked, if it does, you need to relock the bootloader, now on the right hand side of the Toolkit, check the checkbox under Agreement which will then enable the Re-lock button, click that (DO NOT CLICK S-On), Your phone will reboot to Android, Once back, click the Bootloader button again Under Basic ADB. This time instead of Unlocked, it will say Relocked. Now try running the RUU again, this time it should work.
Once the RUU flash is done, you should be all set to get going again.

[Guide] How to Downgrade from KK to JB S-OFF Required

Okay Guys. here is a guide how to downgrade back to JB from using KK. You will need to be S-OFF and also will to have a locked or relocked bootloader. and just follow my steps. You will need adb and fastboot and you will need the 3.05.651.6 decrypted you will find the file here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576995
(1) From fastboot you need to first re-lock your bootloader. using this command
fastboot oem lock
then you reboot your device into bootloader. make sure your device shows relocked or locked on top of the screen. once you see that then go to step #2
(2) now type this command fastboot oem rebootRUU after that you should see black screen with green HTC logo.
if you got this far go to step #3
(3) now the file you downloaded please rename it too rom.zip (make sure you have it named correctly) my advice i would just found the file you downloaded and right click it and look for rename and i would just type the word rom and hit enter to ensure it is correct. If you did that go to step #4
(4) Now, type this command fastboot flash zip rom.zip , let it run it course during the process you will see this message . " pre hboot 90 " if you see that then just press the up arrow on the keyboard and press enter and let the process run again and then let it run it will flush your device at this point and will lose everything on your storage. once you have done that sit back 10-20 mins. and wait for the process to finish. after that go to Step #5
(5) type this command in command prompt fastboot reboot-bootloader and press enter . Once your at bootloader menu select factory reset and press power button and let it do reset and when it done. your device will reboot and your done.

I'm here to agree! I can't get an older RUU to flash and I'm S-OFF. I've tried on multiple computers and done everything I can think of... With no luck. I've tried the whole "tricking" the bootloader to thinking you're using an older base and everything.

It's odd that some are having issues while others are not. I just ruu'd again from stock kk to make sure I wasn't going crazy with a 3.04 encrypted zip I extracted from the official ruu. Did it in mac os x and went off without a hitch.

Does 4.4.2 perform worse?

You will not be able to take an ota with a rooted rom. The rom must be unmodified in any way for the ota to succeed in the upgrade. So your only chance is to either unroot the rom or factory restore the rom. If you factory restore, remember to backup your data.

iam on stock rom and I can't factory reset it show me the same message

You just said you were rooted, and you can not be rooted to take an ota. I am pretty sure of it.

Thanks for replay but Iam rooted

Root=no upgrade. FleetPhone is saying because you are rooted your phone will not update. You can't have root.

Guys....it's not about being rooted. It's about NOT having STOCK RECOVERY, *or* about changes that were made to /system.
Usually just being rooted won't stop you from taking updates. But you can NOT take an update without Stock Recovery. You probably have TWRP recovery still installed - this will prevent the OTA from installing.
Aside from that, any significant modifications to /system, for example Xposed will need to be uninstalled first.
If you can't figure out the problem, use RSD Lite to flash the entire 4.4.2 ROM, then you can take the OTA.
NEVER DOWNGRADE. You can only do this because you are still on 4.4.2 and haven't updated to 4.4.4. Once on 4.4.4, any attempt to downgrade will likely result in a brick.
Good Luck :good:

You must hide root with SuperSU & use STK recovery

I just got ota last night for att. Is there any root method?

Nope, not unless you unlock through the China middleman. Just search 'China middleman' and you will find the thread.
Good luck

I have AT&T Moto X with unlocked bootloader and root. All I did to take update was restore stock recovery and apply 4.4.2 system.img to ensure there were not system changes and my phone accepted update fine (didn't lose anything either). Then I got root back I installed TWRP and SuperSU again. Done.
You can do all of this with the MotoX tookit. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/tool-moto-x-toolkit-v1-4-0-t2477132
Lots of great info and walkthroughs http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX.htm

Ok, your problem of not being able to take the OTA... that is because of how SlapMyMoto works, and tricks it plays to give you root and write protection disabled.
If you want to take the OTA, you will have no choice but to flash completely back to stock (using RSDLite) and WILL lose root. For how, see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
Keep in mind that with a LOCKED bootloader, you will NOT be able to DISABLE Write Protection when on 4.4.2 and above. If on 4.4.2, PIE or TOWELPIEROOT can be used to root, but write protection will still be enabled, so root and changes made by root apps would be lost at power off/on or "hard boot" and root apps done have the ability to create files in /system and such. There is no root for 4.4.4 with locked bootloader. For more see -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/one-stop-shop-how-root-moto-x-confusion-t2826159 its not a very long thread, so please read ALL of it... including Post #70 of that thread
And before you ask... No, if you are on 4.4.4 you can NOT fully downgrade to 4.4.2 or lower. If you are on 4.4.2 you can NOT fully downgrade to 4.4 (aka 4.4.0) or lower! If you try, you will likely brick your phone or set it up to brick with future OTA's. (this is true for locked and Unlocked bootloaders)
IF you have an ATT, Verizon or Republic wireless, you can try the China Middleman thread in the general section to see if you can get a bootloader unlock code if you want to root and disable write protection no matter what ROM is on your phone.
