Gotten lost.
unlocked the bootloader and made the mistake of flashing a rom without being on S-OFF.
Now have a phone that dosent boot and no working OS, no Nandroid.
Have working CWM and unlocked bootloader. But no working OS and still S-ON
None of the RUU's will get past checking boot token.......
Does anyone have a stock rom that I can flash from recovery? Rembering that its still S-ON
** hanging my head in noob shame**
If you have S-On and flashed a custom ROM then you just have to flash the boot.img from the ROM through fast boot
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
The boot.img will be in the ROM zip, just unzip to find it
Also please read the stickies in the forums, they provide all the info you need for such issues

I bought it yesterday and when I tried to go with the rooting process, when I rebooted into the bootloader, it said ***UNLOCKED*** and above that it said ***TAMPERED***. I figured that it was already unlocked so I resumed with the process. I installed the CWM recovery and the SuperSU.
However, it still say "Ship S-On" in the bootloader. Am I free to flash ROMs or am I supposed to get it to S-Off somehow?
S-Off rooting has not been achieved yet. Unlocking bootloader and rooting with the current methods will allow for custom ROM installation.
hTc One S
One s doesnt have S-off yet,but you can flash rom s anyway .you will just have to fastboot the boot or use twrp recovery ,
I would stick to fastboot tho as twrp doesn't always flash the boot for me.

So I flash the ROM first. Then If i want to install a kernel, I install through fastboot? In that order?
For example: I flash This ROM first and then I reboot into fastboot in the bootloader to flash This Kernel?
Ya you can flash kernel first or last doesn't matter , just fastboot boot.IMG reboot to recovery and flash Rom

My device HTC Sensation
HBoot: 1.27.0000
Firmware: 3.33.401.53
Rooted
S-ON
The problem is I tried to flash a custom ROM (Viper, MIUI etc) but all of them get stuck on the HTC Logo screen.
Currently I have no ROM installed, tried the RUU but always failed to find the correct version. Going S-OFF will help I guess but I can't get that done without a ROM installed.
What to do?
Ur s-on so u will need to flash the boot.img before/after u flash a rom.
Boot recovery
Full wipe
Flash rom
Boot straight into fastboot
Flash boot.img
Reboot
Click the sensation help thread in my sig, guides there.

Also, make sure you have smartflash enabled in 4EXT recovery.
Note: 4EXT recovery is required for s-on users. Also, don't forget to wipe all partitions before changing ROMs.

After flashing proper boot.img either manually or via 4ext recovery, if your phone still gets stuck on splash screen/bootanimation, WAIT ATLEST 10 mins. First boot always takes longer.
Happy to help.
Hi, my AT&T HTC One X is running CM10.2 with S-ON. However, on boot, sometimes the device puts itself into a boot loop. You then need to reflash the boot.img from the computer to the phone. Is there any way I can stop this? Thanks.
Nope, not with your current setup. If you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img with fastboot every time you flash a ROM. Don't even bother trying to boot into a ROM after flashing it without first flashing the boot.img via fastboot. If it has booted sometimes without flashing the boot.img, it's because the boot.img that was left over from the previous ROM is somewhat compatible with the new ROM you flashed, this is not optimal of course. If you don't want to have to flash the boot.img anymore, get s-off. Having s-off removes the restriction that causes the boot.img to not be flashed in TWRP when flashing the ROM.

You misunderstood me. I did flash boot.img and I'm still having boot loops.

Have you read the cm10.2 thread? There have been major problems with getting that ROM to boot recently.

Where is the CM10.2 thread?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
Really? It's in the development section. If you don't even know where the thread is I think I can pretty safely assume you haven't read it. If you're having problems with a ROM please read the ROM thread before cluttering up the forum with an unnecessary new thread. To be honest, recovering from a bootloop is about as simple as it gets, you should know how to do that before beginning to flash ROMs.

I was helping my friend switch to a custom rom and I messed up. His One XL was on 4.1.1 with 3.18 software. I managed to temporarily change the CID by followin guides and unlock the bootloader using htcdev.com. The problem began after I tried to flash boot.img, from an One X rom because I thought this is a One X(ATT's naming). Now the device is stuck in a recovery boot loop. Once in a while I can get out of it and get to the bootloader. From there I'd erase cache, flash new recovery (TWRP for One XL), flash correct boot.img, go into recovery and flash rom. However, upon finishing install the reboot will start the recovery boot loop again. The phone keeps trying to boot recovery instead of normal boot on restart and gets stuck. I've tried both CWM and TWRP, wiped many times, but it refuses to boot normally. Every time after the logos for the rom plays the phone reboots. Unlocked bootloader but no root or S-off. What can I do?
Thanks
What ROM are you tying to flash? And are you sure you're flashing the boot.img from that ROM zip?
Out of interest, is there a reason your friend isn't doing this himself? Handing an unlocked phone to someone who hasn't undergone the learning experience of actually unlocking the device and researching the ins and outs of a modified phone is a pretty terrible idea.

Wouldn't it be advisable if he formatted and ran a ruu? Sounds like he messded up his bootloader with a incompatible ROM.

He can't run an RUU. The fact that he flashed a boot.img would suggest that he's s-on, he mentioned changing the CID which suggests that he has SuperCID. S-on + SuperCID + jb RUU = brick.

Hi,
Looking for some help with flashing ROMs
My phone is HBoot 2.15
Using TWRP v2.7.1.0
Every ROM I flash seems to install correctly but when booting I get the white HTC screen then the screen goes black and/or reboots (into a loop)
I'm using the HTC One S All-In-One Toolkit 'ADB Sideload a ROM' option to flash ROMs.
Phone was on Orange UK, CID ORANG001
Any ideas if I'm missing something simple?
Rob
I assume you're S-On, aren't you? Did you flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot after flashing the rom? Since you're S-On roms won't boot without this step.
