[Need Serious Quick HELP!!!]One S stuck.on bootup

im on my one s, found out that my volume wasnt working an so i tried to fix it by reflashing the rom, but by accident i did a factory reset and the rom was gone, i already wiped the davlik and all that then i barely remembered that i already deleted the rom (was flashing T-Mobile noble series 7.5 for USA version) so now i tried to reboot the phone and im stuck on the bootup and it stays there for a GOOD while..im freaking out right now, anyway i can still get into the bootloader and fastboot but i cant get the rom back into my phone, i did no back ups and im really scared, if anyone can help it would be totally awesome. And if it helps I used the hasoon toolkit 1.0 to unlock my phone and Paul o Brian method to root it.

search for adb and push.
You schould be able to push the rom zip via ADB onto the sdcard and afterwards you can normaly flash it via cwm recovery

any help making this easier, idk what the hell im doing, im just trying to push my rom into the phone, this is confusing, im going insane!!!! ok i need this alittle easier im a noob at this, i got my phone rooted with cwm and i accidentallly erase the rom now im trying to put it back in. is there a certain adb fastboot that im missing cuz i tried it and it gives me the correct prompt file....this is really starting to irritate me, it doesnt even push the rom in......i would really appreciate some step by step process on how to do this today.this is my first phone and i really dont want it to brick at all.

let's assume you have adb and fastboot files on pc, if not you need to either install them to a folder of your choice ie Android or install android sdk and set them up that way:
These are the files that need to be in that folder--
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/28338566/adb_fastboot_win32.zip
but if you have them on pc and can connect phone and open command window, cd to your folder where the adb and fastboot files are, maybe something like cd/ hit enter then cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools, or whatever the path is
when you are there and right after the whatever your path is type adb devices and you should get your phone id #
you can google some of this stuff and see videos
if you can get that far do this: download the same rom to your pc and extract it with winrar. open it and you should see a system.img and boot.img file. copy them to the folder where you have the adb/fastboot files
then after you have the adb devices command recognizing your phone type this:
adb reboot bootloader which will put you into fastboot, to verify that before you proceed you can type fastboot devices and see the phone ID # again--then
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase boot
fastboot -w
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
not sure if you need fastboot -w since you already wiped userdata
you should then be able to get rom booted back up and reset things up again--then nandroid and you should always have an sdcard bu also
if you don't have a recovery anymore you can fastboot it same way by typing
fastboot flash recovery "exact name of recovery.img"
fastboot reboot
I am no expert and you can research this stuff till you feel comfortable or someone can confirm

Yes still no.luck, I'm still stuck on boot up...

You seem to be able to use adb from what you post. So
1) Boot the phone into CWM
2) Put the rom into the same folder on your pc as the adb program
3) Open a command prompt on the pc, and navigate to the folder with the rom and adb in it, eg "cd c:\adb"
4) Push the rom to the phone: "adb push rom.zip /mnt/sdcard" (if it doesn't work, try it again and change "mnt/sdcard" to just "sdcard"
5) In CWM, choose flash zip file. The zip file should be in the root of your sd card.

Yea I'm still stuck and after a long time of seeing a couple of people not being able to fix my issue, I'm wondering of someone can confirm if this works or if it's possible to flash a ROM without putting it in the phone just flash it from adb? Been a while since I got on and I'm just gonna dedicated time on fixing my one s.... I really appreciate the feedback

Yes you can push it thru adb as mentioned above
i have to call it a nite. Just google pushing a Rom thru adb for more Info if needed
---------- Post added at 05:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 AM ----------
You never mentioned just downloading Rom to pc and copying to sd card. Then thru recovery wipe and flash rom.

Never mind guess you can't connect phone pc and mount to copy files

Yea I'm gonna try that today but I was wondering if somehow we can make the computer flash it onto the phone for us (you know technology now a days) for situations like this for people who can't get access to their sd cards since the sd cards are non removable and make it a little more simpler to fix phones in this type of situation....just a thought put out there, I'm just thinking alot of things to make situations like this easier for people who are trying to get the best of their phone.

Yeah with a removable SD card it would have been as easy to just take the sdcard and stick it in the computer.
Just be patient and learn to use adb. In the long run it will make things easier for you. Plus you earn some valuable info and upgrade from noob status.
Good luck!

Just go on bootloader, install CWM recovery (adb is working on it) and send a rom by adb : adb push rom.zip /sdcard
copy the rom in adb folder first and replace "rom.zip" by the name of your rom.
Next go to recovery and flash your rom !
I already have he same problem like you, I was scared too, but don't panic you can install a rom

Ok I just got my phone back and it gets stuck on the boot on the way to the bootloader I can't get into Fastboot or the recovery, any ideas?
Nvm I got it back now it's only the recovery it goes to right away I try to go into bootloader but it gets stuck.on the HTC boot with red text displaying on it. Ok another thing I got into the bootloader and flashed the stock recovery but it got stuck on the boot again....ok another edit, I got the other recovery flashed but it won't boot into recovery it stays on the boot screen with red text.

I get back into the bootloader and flashed the recovery again and then try to go into recovery but it stays stuck On boot up with red text for a little bit then turns off black then turns on again in bootup with red text and stays there, any clues?

Not sure what all you have done by now--so--
First off did you unlock again, as HTC may have locked it--even though you have red letters? (You said you just got it back--assume from HTC)
If unlocked confirmed--
Can you turn phone on and have it just boot into the homescreen
If so, can you connect to pc and have phone with usb debugging on and fastboot off (fastboot is under settings/power). Open command window and cd to your adb/fastboot folder and type adb devices then fastboot devices
if they work put latest cwm recovery image in the adb/fastboot folder and flash it by--
type adb reboot bootloader
then fastboot flash recovery recovery.img of course use exact recovery image name
if adb devices and fastboot devices don't work verify your sdk is set up and drivers are installed--
you may have already done this--sorry, just trying to start at the beginning

Ok so I'm at the point where I'm in recovery and the command prompt is open but idk how to do this...some help would sure be nice this is what I get when. I try to push something
Note: I kinda modified the name to just ROM so I won't have to type so much
Sent from my samsung galaxy player

what is x86 Mac? i just do a cd/ [enter] then cd android/android-sdk-windows/tools [enter]. that is my path. If on windows and sdk, you need the environmental variable path set to that path i just typed, or whatever your's is. not sure on a mac.
on windows I use forward slashes--not sure it matters
at the prompt you show type adb devices, if it doesn't come back with # followed by numbers you are not set up with adb, reinstall htc drivers and make sure whatever you are fastbooting, is in your tools folder

Not too worry, it's very simple, just download the zip, then unzip and double click on the bat file, then follow on screen instruction.
Here is a nice instruction for rooting:

this will work with the specs for my tablet? jellybean etc..?

does not work... i tried this debug already it says failed i think because it doesn't support jellybean.

no, it's for ics only, I thought you are on ICS? well you downgrade back to .30 then use my method above, If you don't want to downgrade, then you must unlocked first then follow this method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1916762
You put your device in fastboot mode, by turn off your device, hold volume down and power button, when you will see white text appeared on the screen release both, hit volume down to navigate to the USB icon, then hit volume up to select and now you are fastboot. plug in your usb cable then open fastboot command on your pc and do your thing.

Not a problem, but I need to verify what your setup first.
1. Are you on Jelly Bean?
2. Are you unlocked? (when you turn on your device, it should displays "device is unlocked"
3. Do you have SDK and fastboot/ADB tool installed on your device?
Once you answered all 3 questions, I will recommend the easiest way to root.

OK, we need to verify if your fastboot is working or not. Put your device in fastboot mode (see my thread above..how to select the usb icon). On your pc, go to the folder that you have fastboot command (should be fastboot.exe). Open window command prompt, navigate to the folder where "fastboot.exe" located (usually located in "platform-tools" folder), then execute this :
type in:
fastboot devices
hti enter, you should be device ID show up
again type:
fastboot reboot
then hit enter
Your device should reboot. If it does, your fastboot is working.

@deocare
first you have to "cd" into the path wehre you store the fastboot.exe.Ideally you've installed a full android sdk with adb, etc. After setup your android sdk and fastboot, make sure that you're tablet is booted in fastboot mode and you've installed the fastboot drivers, e.g. from universal naked driver package. After this you can send fastboot commands to your tablet but please note that it doesn't answer to fastboot devices.
Here are some threads explaining how to setup fastboot and how to after flashing jellybean, e.g. chainfires SU.

Another question is are you planing to install custom ROM??? or you just want root?

I'm lost installing CMW

OMG yes i know im a newb but there is a first time for everybody for anything.
So i'm trying to unlock, root, install cwm and install custom roms but ive looked at all the instruction from many thread and a lot of them had missing steps
Anyways, i've downgraded from JB to 4.0.3, rooted, unlocked and now i'm trying to install CWM. So i installed android SDK and all tools, i've put recovery image in same folder as fastboot.exe, i've booted the tablet and selectied USB icon but wtf do i do now??
I'm basically here:
** FastBoot Method **
1) Install Android SDK
2) Download CWM Recovery image from the original thread and check the MD5 sum (don't skip MD5 check,is there to make sure the file is not corrupted)
3) Copy the downloaded file in the same directory as your fastboot.exe (unless you have /platform-tools in PATH then you can flash from anywhere)
4) Turn off your device and boot into fastboot mode (power on while holding volume down, then select the usb icon and hit volume up to confirm)
5) Plug the device into your computer
6) Run the following command via the command line:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
Where do i get this command line?? is it command line from windows such as CMD?? cause if it is, i've tried it and nothing. Do i have to point to where is the recovery image?? Its in C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools but i'm lost from that point, i'm not sure what command line i have to use, and how to set it up so i can tell it where to look.
Can anybody help me please?

change directory to the folder the recover/fastboot is in, using the CMD on windows. So:
"cd C:\Users\Patrick\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools"
make sure the recovery is called "recovery.img" and that its in the "platform-tools" folder alongside the fastboot.exe, then run the commands:
"fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img"
and
"fastboot reboot"

Yes, command line is in your PC. The location of the fastboot.exe located in c:\android-sdk\platformtools (if you install from sdk).
On your PC, open CMD and navigate to the above directory where fastboot.exe is. Make sure your recovery.img in also copied to this same folder. Now you can execute the fastboot comand:
fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

I think it's easier for you to download Voodoo OTA root keeper to preserve root, then upgrade to JB, then use OTA root keeper to restore root. After this you can install TWRP recover by download goomanager from the play store and install it, once you have twrp, you're home free.
Currently you are on ICS, becareful if you use a wrong version of cwm you could brick your device. Many ppl installed ICS cwm version then upgrade to JB without the right version and they bricked.

Once I realized I had platform tools in a folder on my PC desktop with the command prompt
in it I was able to flash.
Gotta say it wasn't easy to figure out in bits and pieces.
Sent from the inside out...

Thanks guys, you've been REALLY helpful! I completely forgot about the shortcut to open cmd in a folder, and i'm not sure if you were wrong or its because im on windows 8 but its ctrl + shift + right click
EDIT: now i get a problem, it do all this and i get "waiting for device"
i tried different USB ports, same deal...any ideas?
EDIT: EDIT: tried all USB port but one, the last one i used did the trick, thanks for all!

I'm having this exact same problem but changing USB ports is not working for me and I tried everything else. Would it help if I tried a different computer?

I think it's easier for you to download Voodoo OTA root keeper to preserve root, then upgrade to JB, then use OTA root keeper to restore root. After this you can install TWRP recover by download goomanager from the play store and install it, once you have twrp, you're home free.
Currently you are on ICS, becareful if you use a wrong version of cwm you could brick your device. Many ppl installed ICS cwm version then upgrade to JB without the right version and they bricked.

I don't mean to threadjack, but this portion of your post caught my attention.
I just swapped a prime for an infinity. I rooted, installed rootkeeper, preserved root, upgraded to JB and restored root.
Are you saying I can install goomanager and update recovery without unlocking via the Asus tool?
If so, sweet!

No. You will still have to unlock the bootloader to install a custom recovery, unfortunately.

HELP PLEASE!!! Device stuck on bootloop, no OS, no Recovery, not recognised by PC and only boots to fastboot.

I recently tried the dumb move of updating Magisk through the app itself. When rebooted it got stuck on bootloop, I then booted to Orangefox on my Redmi K20 Pro. I then did resetting to defaults in settings which showed 2 errors- Unable to mount system root and vendor(invalid arguement something like that) which resulted in my data being encrypted.
When I tried to reboot it said no OS installed. I didn't know what to do so I watched a youtube video instructing to wipe data and rebooting to recovery to fix this(encrypion) and so i did another dumb move of doing it which resulted in my device getting rid of Orangefox then, and now I am stuck on either boot loop with no recovery or in fastboot mode which isn't really doing much since it's not being recognised by my pc.
I am not much of a knower in this side but I knew some of the basics and followed instructions to install recovery and root and now have managed to break it. And now I'm panicking. SOMEONE HELP!!

If you are still able to go into fastboot mode and bootloader unlocked then you need to download firmware or use your back up of firmware then write them in fastboot mode and see it can help. /user might need to be wiped if it is encrypted. /cache maybe need to erase too if phone does not boot.
I don't know if it is you are already installed custom recovery such as TWRP, CWM, if it is installed then you need to flash /system and /boot. if it is not installed, flash /system and /boot and /recovery (or /recovery_ramdisk).
Make sure you have using same version installed firmware you try to flash.

How do I write them in fastboot mode. Pardon but I don't know more technical stuff that much. My pc is unable to detect my phone so how can I write it. And I didn't quite fully understand the rest of it as well. Could you dumb it down?

If your device is in fastboot mode
Its should recognised by pc
Check your driver's on device manager
Or download adb drivers
Then download firmware for your device
Fastboot type : fastboot devices
Then drag the flash all bat from flash file on cmd press enter
Note- u must have unlocked bootloader

Update- I manged to install TWRP on my device but it was encrypted so unfortunately had to format data to remove it, but it still aks me to "keep data in red only mode?" Anyhow I ccopied the rom to my internal storage but it still shows the error- Failed to mount system_root and vendor(invalid argument). How do I fix that

Download ADB from Here
Download Xiaomi Redmi K20 Pro USB Driver Here
Install Usb driver
If you using windows then select "Download SDK Platform-Tools for Windows"
If you finished downloading zip file, open zip, then put "platform-tools" folder in C:\
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then add "C:\platform-tools" to your environment variables
To add it to environment variables,Ctrl+X, "system details">"environment variables">"User variables"
>"path" variables, add "C:\platform-tools" to "path" variables into the last.
Now you can use adb and fastboot commands everywhere in cmd, but you need to stick with image file, so you need to use Change Directory (cd) command for path of image folder.
Then put all firmware file (img) into platform-tools folder.
If you don't have firmware file go easy-firmware you should pay for it (I am not sure Xiaomi hosting free firmwares)
Ctrl+R then type "cmd" then Enter
In CMD type "cd C:\platform-tools", so you now cmd is looking at where your image files located.
type "fastboot devices"
type "flash-all.bat" or
"fastboot flash system <your system img file name>" / "fastboot flash system_root <your system img file name>"
"fastboot flash boot <your boot img file name>"
"fastboot flash recovery <your recovery img file name>" / "fastboot flash recovery_ramdisk <your recovery img file name>"
"fastboot flash vendor <your vendor img file name>"
"fastboot reboot"
you may need to execute these command too
"fastboot erase user"
"fastboot erase cache"
PS firmware files for Huawei P20 Pro
Filenames should vary but maybe looks like this (I'm not xiaomi user so...)
