Did you take the OTA update? If you install that while S-ON you can't flash the RUU without down leveling your main version (mainver).

how do i downgrade? is the OTA from the settings where you update your phone?

Yes, that's where you download the OTA update. Did you install that? If so, I can give you a link for a file to flash in recovery that will let you install the RUU, but you need to be rooted to flash it.

That's still indicating that you have the wrong RUU for your phone.

Did you unlock the bootloader again?

Try checking your CID and current mainver level by issuing the following commands from a PC:

fastboot getvar cid

fastboot getvar mainver

does the bootloader need to be unlocked or locked?

It probably needs to be unlocked to change the mainver if you are S-ON. I've done it with a locked bootloader but that was while S-OFF.

Did you issue those fastboot commands? Knowing what your current CID and mainver are would be helpful.

I just noticed that you edited your previous post from error 150 to 155 when trying to flash the RUU.exe. The 155 is usually from a an unlocked bootloader so relock it (fastboot oem lock) and try again if you haven't gotten it to flash yet.

if my bootloader is locked how am i suppose to flash setmainversionlow.zip?

Flash the zip while your bootloader is unlocked and your ROM is rooted, then relock the bootloader and flash the RUU.exe.

You never posted your CID and mainver from the fastboot commands, so I'm not 100% sure what you have at this point.
