[Q] Help fixing soft brick - HTC One S

My t-mobile one s has no os right now. I'm unable to run ruu because my hboot version is 1.14.004, I followed the instructions on how to mount the sd card but it still gave me the same error, I'm going to try to mount the sd card again right now but if that doesnt work then I'm all out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is where im at now. The sticky didnt help me access my sdcard so im trying to adb push a rom onto my sdcard but it keeps giving me the eror that more than one device is attached, "adb devices" gives me the same 2 serial numbers but one is offline and the other is in recovery. If anyone can help me please do.

I fixed my previous issue, I'm still unable to push files onto the sdcard, im getting the cannot stat update.zip no such file or directory. I've completely run out of ideas can anyone please help me.

*SOLVED* can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 and "Image Not Found"

I tried searching for help, but can to a dead end. After I installed JF 1.5 and the phone rebooted, it just hangs on the G1 Tmobile boot screen.... I can restart it and load into recovery but get E: cant mount dev/block/.. I also tried the DREAIMG.NBH but when ever I try to load it (Power+Camera) I get "No Image Found!"... I dont know if it cant find the recovery_testkeys or if it was screwed up during the installation process... It does boot so im guessing no brick.
Any help is GREATLY appreciated
*EDIT*: SOLVED, I downloaded the DREAIMG-29.img, renamed the file with a .nbh extension, and bought a SD READER to MAC 4gig San Disk Card. IT ENDED UP BEING THE NEW CARD and READER THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE!
http://koushikdutta.blurryfox.com/G1/DREAIMG-RC29.zip (Rename DREAIMG.NBH..
Hope this helps this pesky problem
maybe
It might be that it's not reading the sdcard right to read image to reflash. But also some people have been saying some apps are causing it not to go past the g1 screen seem the most common factor is desktop theme apps are doing this people have been able to remove these apps useing umbuntu to remove these apps and all goes back to normal.
Hmm.. umbuntu has never been a real good friend to me.. but yea the SD card was my last possible indication. I thought that after doing a factor reset under recovery deleted the apps...? Is there a way to just reflash to stock rc 33 or rcc 29? Im sort of new to the Android Dev scene... Could the Recover_Testkeys.img image be causing an issue also?
Thanks
Edit: Iv heard that the type of SD card might be an issue (Transend, San Disc, ect.)? ..... I dont know though.
deleted comment... accidental duplicate post
Try a wipe. I had the same thing happen to me only i did something dumb, but once i flashed it, it worked again.
It happened to me today, It stayed on the Android screen for about 30 minutes So I removed the battery and turned it on with home+power button,
did a wipe, and applied the update again.
I dunno if doing the wipe helped but it works now
By wipe you mean recovery then (Alt+W).. Iv done it about 10 times. I keep getting the "cant mount SDCARD" and "dev/block/mmcblk0" after attempting to install update.zip.
Any other thoughts..? thanx
please tell me you have adb set up. if so i can try to help you otherwise i can't do much for you
Tubaking182, To be honest, i dont know for sure if I did set up adb... Could you please explain what it is and if it is still possible to set it up? If you could help me, It would be GREATLY appreciated... im about to give up.... such a pain in the a**
Bump.. for help issues
they may have changed the vold.conf in order to support A2SD, but that would prevent the phone from recognizing SD cards that are not partitioned.
I was rooting my HTC Magic 32A and had the same problem when I choose [Flash zip from sdcard] at RA-hero-v1.6.2
The message was "cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk0"
Then I choose [Other > Move recovery.log to SD] at RA-hero-v1.6.2
And went back to choose [Flash zip from sdgard] and then it works.

[Q] Partition problem

Hey, I keep trying to extend my U20i memory following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804574 ..and keep failing
I made it through once, but for some reason it didn't move the apps onto my sd card - maybe cause I haven't flashed my ROM before..
But as I try it again now, with my ROM freshly flashed, SD card freshly divided(http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=SD_card_partitioning), every time I try the command adb shell, it gives me an error Device not found. (card unmounted..)
Could anyone help me? Thanks
PS: Since I don't see a way of searching through this forum, I created a new thread.

roms which are not made for your device will not completely work on it...since the kernel is different..and libs...so i recommend you to flash it again but with one rom made for your device...
ROM BIBLE (lots of roms there) try flashing one with a custom kernel
or flash this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933628
also you can try to restore to stock rom if those roms dont help
How do i return to stock? please id love it if you gave me some help bcuz im a neewbie at all this..

well your phone must mount your sd card while in recovery...so download the stock file and rename it how it should...then try to connect your phone to your pc with adb... it has to be thru debuging..enable it in settings/applications/development/usb debugging check the box...connect the phone to the pc....
it should detect it..maybe to transfer the file to the sdcard you should plug it in to an adapter or something to transfer the file...
then do the steps in adb and see if it works...it should

Okay so i copied them and now its doing this vvvv
SD Checking...
Loading...[ESPRDIAG.zip]
No image!
Loading...[EDPRDIAG.nbh]
No image or wrong image!
Loading...[ESPRIMG.zip]
Then it says...
Checking...[ESPRIMG.zip]
but, after all that it doesnt show me the update thing.. WHAT NOW?
....you should copy the zip file to the directory where it says in the tutorial..../data/local/ (everything has to be done in adb) i think but only then you can start doing the update
Okay so one more thing before i try this... what adb?

android debug bridge...it is used by developers....try to get the android sdk forr your OS and put the commands on the tutorial so the file gets copied over to your device and you can restore it to stock
adb is a program on your computer that can force files and apps to certain system folders and stuff that your phone wouldnt necessarily be able to do on its own.
I'm sure you wont make this mistake again haha
like the guy said above, just put that file to the root of your sd card. not the external sd card but the internal sd card. when you connect your phone to your computer and it pulls up a bunch of folders like DCIM, media, etc.
put the file in that folder right there. thats the root of your internal sd card.
then do the steps with adb again.
we've all made mistakes and have had issues where we need to do these things to reset it to stock. next time I highly recommend researching how to bring your phone back from messing it up before deciding to flash roms and stuff. all the tools are on here, just search for them. dont worry, you'll get it!
hope this helps. I have a Vibrant so mine might be a little different than yours but just do what the tutorial says and you should be all good

This sort of happened to me before. try downloading and installing the file attached. It should do the trick. N.B- You need to have root access.
ok thanks. I have root access (i think, fairly new to all this, apologies).
How do I run the file??
Thanks.
sorry to be a pain

Boot your phone (make sure the file is on your phone), then simply select the file and follow the onscreen instructions. After that, select it's icon in the menu and choose to allow it to automatically operate when USB is connected. Then just allow root access and you're good to go. Try your rom flashing again and it should be successful.
hey
thanks for your help, but I currently have no ROM / OS installed on the phone, so can only boot into recovery / fastboot etc.
not into android os.

Since you can boot into recovery and access your phone from your computer, then just flash the stock windows mobile rom to your phone. I think that would work and it does make sense. If it does work then you can continue doing what you want after you have done it.
Do you mean flash it via fastboot? I'm sturuggling to get files across from my pc... sorry to be a pain...
I can access the SD card to drag files in recovery. but cant isntall from the sd on my phone.
tried flashing files direct to phone with fastboot but coundt. probably just got it wrong. gahhh.

Have you tried a different SD Card or a sdhc card? One of them might help.
I haven't tried another card yet no.
I need to purchase one first, hopefully will get chance this week.
Any links to best guide to make a goldcard btw?
Thanks.

[Q] Complete NOOB, please help!!

I bought an Atrix locally. It has superuser since it was rooted, BUT the seller removed the SD card, so the root isn't working right now.
I tried to upgrade Superuserand I'm not allowed to do so... it says the following: "An error ocurred and su was not updated. A zip file (su-2.3.1-bin-signed.zip) has been placed on your sdcard, please reboot into recovery mode and flash it to update your su binary"
I already inserted my own SD card, but I don't know what to do in fear of bricking my new phone.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks!!
