[Q]Help can i flash rom using fastboot? - HTC One S

Hello i think i bricked me phone... I unlocked my one S installed flashed recovery and rooted it.
the i installed cm10 nightly, but it stays at the cyanogenmod load screen.
I can get into bootloader and recovery but ive been dumb enough to not backup my stock rom.
Anyone has a suggestion for what to do now?
Is it possible to flash using fastboot maybe?
thanks

Not fastboot! Use an RUU and do it that way.

There might be a problem with your cm10 download. Anyway you can't flash Rom in fastboot but while in recovery you can mount sd card (internal storage), copy any other Rom (maybe download any other nightly) from your pc to sd card, unmount and then flash. No need to run ruu.

im stuck at the first step
"Use the All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery back to stock"
the problem is my phone is an international version
i couldnt find a stock kernel
can some one help me
I don't think there is any real difference between stock recoveries,
so you can take the recovery from any RUU or OTA.
Just flash it from fastboot.
hmm ok i found a strange way of fixing this
i flashed twrp (CWM has it too)
mounted USB storage
the told my pc to format it as fat32
and now its fixed
You should ask the op to add that to the sticky

Flash TWRP recovery it will let you mount the SD card. Then don't use CWM on your One S anymore.

Flash the stock recovery
Boot into fast boot and choose "clear storage"
Flash TWRP
Flash a rom

Here you go, don't forget you have to flash it in fastboot.

Or if you have the All in One toolkit you can place that file into the data folder then press the flash your own recovery button.
Thanks for that. You probably saved a few years of my life. .
Sd card mounted
Now just to find working rom. I have cwm backup in my laptop. How could I push it to my sd. Does it have to be the clockworkmod folder or I can copy to sd root and then use restore in cwm recovery?
Sent from my HTC Hero using xda app-developers app
if you flashed twrp, you can't restore cwm bu with iy
make a new bu with twrp even before flashing a new rom
Actually, I have got twrp backup as well. Just need to copy it to my sd. Ill try that after work. if I'm stocked ill seek sone help here. Thanks guys for help.
EDIT: got sorted, after I flashed boot.img extracted from rom everything working fine.
Only one thing. I cant mount sd card to my laptop.... But...... Too late tonight, leave it for another time.

That doesn't work I tried that before.
Idk, that was my idea.
So it fails even when you try to wipe, that's interesting (also means my assumption was wrong).

I am having the same issue
hboot1.14.0002
radio 0.19as.32.09.11_2
I am unlocked/tampered but S-on.
I thought I made a back up of CleanRom5 when I first put it on the phone, but alas I find that I didnt.
So I am between roms with s-on. Is there a way to achieve S-off with. I can still get into bootloader, and recovery.

boot to bootloader fastboot flash a 2.3 version of twrp i use 2.3.3.0 boot to recovery mount usb transfer rom to phone flash rom be sure to fastboot flash boot.img reboot
This seems to be a bug with 2.4.x.x versions of TWRP. If you downgrade to an old version, it should be OK, from what I've read.

I installed 2.3.3.0 and the factory reset still failed..?
errors given were E:unable to mount '/sdcard'
did you factory reset from bootloader if so you have corrupted your sd card there is a fix let me find it
I did this and this is what Xsmagical and I did to fix it.
Take the stock android recovery from a ruu or stock Rom. (I used the one from 1.85 ruu but it doesn't matter.)
Fastboot flash the stock recovery to your phone and then reboot into bootloader where you originally wiped.
Factory reset from hboot and then Fastboot flash twrp again, mount sd should be available now. Mount sd, copy whatever Rom onto sd card and flash from there.
Freaked me out too man

Thanks brother anyone else this may help

I just about crapped a brick literally

please help me

I recently rooted my one s succesfully. I go through twrp recovery and try to install a custom rom always unsuccessfully. I think the problem is that it cant extract files in my sdcard after mounting it and puting the rom zip manually by pc there, but i am not sure. It stucks in the HTC screen with no further progress. What can i do?
Seems like your phone is s-on. If that's the case you have to flash the boot.img file manually via fastboot.

Mainly you can, better should do these two things:
1. Using TWRP version 2.3.3.0 for flashing as later versions exactly produce your kind of error
2. Flashing the kernel separately from your rom.zip file with 'fastboot flash boot kernel.img'

[Q] TWRP/NO OS - ROGERS - Searching forums and nothing!

I have been reading for the last couple weeks, thinking I have an answer and end up further into the hole.
Rogers HTC One X / EVITA / HBOOT 2.14. / 2.4 TWRP initially, now 2.6 / Unlocked boot loader / s-on
1. Started trying to flash AOKP 4.2.2. Flashed boot.img, then followed with TWRP recovery. All I could get was the language screen and then it stalled. Tried numerous iterations of this with various wipes and flash first and flash after.
2. Next tried Viper 3.2.7. All good till it gets to startup screen then it stops (I understand Viper has its boot.img installed to start not needing it flashed).
3. While trying various wipes to see if it would install completely I mistakenly did a factory reset! Now no OS! No Nandroid! No ROM.zip!
4. To get a ROM on SDCard tried ADB sideload thru TWRP. after running script it says unable to mount SDCARD! Suggests I reboot system! Now a little leery of rebooting for fear it will not.
5. Also tried to MOUNT HTV via TWRP on to laptop. Did not recognize said ti initialize. Formatted FAT 32 (via MAC). Now will not mount SD Card. I did drop Viper.zip into mount (cache and system OK) but can not find it using FILE MANAGER via TWRP
6. Now am in BOOTLOADER screen of Android. Thought I could flash a ROM but from what I read it does not look possible.
Can any one point me in the right direction to get this thing up and running. At this point, as much as I am learning all the time, it does me no good having my phone down for two weeks (sure glad I kept my Nexus One).
Any answer at this stage is a good answer and I appreciate all input!
Thanks

Sounds like you did a factory reset in bootloader which corrupts the sd card after unlocking the bootloader. You used to be able to just mount it on pc and format it but after the jb update I don't think that's possible due to the drive no longer being a mass storage device but an mtp device instead. There was a method to fix it developed by team nocturnal but it looks like the site is inaccessible right now. I'll see if there's a way to fix it and get back to you. Bear with me.
[/COLOR]By any chance have you tried wiping sd card in twrp 2.6?
Also, have done SuperCID yet?

SuperCID has not been done. It is S-ON presently.
I wiped SD Card as suggested. Saw it set up partitions. And now TWRP shows up when I mount . Can I just drop a ROM in and flash via TWRP? Any suggestions for a ROM. Could not get AOKP 4.2.2 to run or Viper 3.2.7.
Thanks for the quick assist at getting it to MOUNT.
Flash a stock sense rom and then fastboot flash boot boot.img extracted from the rom. Then use jet to downgrade hboot and SuperCID and then s-off. It'll save you lots of headaches.

It all sounds simple when you say it.
I will find a stock sense ROM to install then follow with boot.img.
Is it necessary to wipe anything more then Dalvik and Cache?
Thanks again.

In twrp 2.6 the factory reset wipes everything except sd card and system. You don't have to wipe system but I always do when I'm flashing a new rom.
