Error encountered during contract execution - Out of gas

Question

I try to create a smart contract (Simple TokenERC20) with sendRawTransaction().

    var firstMainadress = '0x3c7B83E0Fa6f19B1B61e80A73630cB5Db48b700C';
    var secondAdress = '0x38ebbB608fbb40fca07e0EcBAc89e20520BD33f1';
    var privateKey = new Buffer('xxxprivateKeyThatIcantShowHere...','hex')
    var data =  this.byteCode;
    var nonce = this.web3.toHex(this.web3.eth.getTransactionCount(firstMainadress));
    var gasPrice = this.web3.toHex(1000000000);
    var gasLimitHex = this.web3.toHex(1253608);
    var rawTx = { 'data': data, 'nonce': nonce, 'gasPrice': gasPrice, 'gasLimit': gasLimitHex, 'from': firstMainadress};
    var tx = new Tx(rawTx);
    tx.sign(privateKey);
    var serializedTx = '0x'+tx.serialize().toString('hex')
    this.web3.eth.sendRawTransaction(serializedTx, function(err, txHash){
      console.log(err, txHash);
      this.deployedContract = txHash;

    })

the txHash is not null, and when i put it on etherscan, i see the bellow error :

Can someone help me to found why i have this error message : Warning! Error encountered during contract execution [Out of gas]

Thnaks a lot for your help :)

I don't have enough rep to comment... :/ But, I had a very similar issue and @Ismael 's above answer was spot on! I forgot to prepend my byte code with 0x, and have since added this small validation:

if (tokenSource.byteCode.slice(0,2) !== '0x') {
throw new ValidatorException('Issue with contract source file formatting, ensure starts with \'0x\'', {
  token
});

Many thanks again to Ismael above

it seems you missed to append a '0x' in front of your bytecode.
