[Q] Bricked my HTC One S

Hi all,
Got mine today, tried to install a ROM and it got stuck in bootloop.
I did a number of stupid things not to mention wiping the SD and im in serious trouble.
I can get into bootloader and CWM but thats it.
Ive heard restoring a RUU can cure it but I have a MAC and cant find anything to help.
Can anyone help? Im gutted....and fell like an idiot.
Ive got an S4 on the three network.
Thanks

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then after the touch buttons stop flashing, just hold the volume button and see if ot enters the bootloader.

Specifically you'll have to flash the ROM zip file from the recovery and then use fastboot flash boot boot.img.
You can find boot.img inside the ROM zip file

Tried flashing ROM zip but no joy...when should i flash boot img? before or after recovery?

Finally seem to have done it and managed to RUU
The phone is locked to 3 but as a noob I spent 2 days flashing a generic euro ROM.
When i realised i need a ROM to match CID i downloaded 1.53. Tried this a number of times with no joy.
Just tried 1.78 and it seems to be working
Thanks to everyone for your help - us noobs must be sooooooo annoying.

Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

Bootloop does not mean your bricked...means you need to fastboot flash boot.img

This little post just pulled me out of missery. Love ya man!

all you guys getting sorted
make a nandroid and sdcard bu NOW and put them on pc,
obviously leave a copy of nandroid on phone also
makes it a lot easier if you get in trouble again
and you/we will

Mounts and Storage --> Format everything --> Now Mount USB Drive --> Put Gapps and ROM
Flash it, erase cache & and Dalvik...Blah blah blah. Flash boot.img in fastboot, and there you go.
Everybody, please remember this and there won't be noob q&a anymore...

[Q] HTC One X bricked

Can somebody help me?
I just bricked my One X, I had it rooted with recovery, the original Rom, I just tried to install an app to modify fonts and it bricked.
At first it stopped in the screen of HTC one and beats audio, atying to recover it I think I messed things up, because now It stopps in HTC quietly brilliant (sorry for my english). It does not recognize it my PC in fastboot and it does not have enough battery charge.
Can please anybody help me? I'd appreciate any advice!
Thanks!

If it turns on it's not bricked, get it to bootloader, then into recovery, and put it on charge for a while.
Also, you need to tell us exactly what you did to try to recover it, so we know what we're dealing with.

does not sound super alarming...start by charging your battery and let's see if you can get into recovery ?

It turns on, it stops in the HTC screen, it also gets into recovery, I tried to recover it, trying to erase cache, but it did not work, then I tried a factory reset, with no results. HBOOT does not recognize it in my PC.

Do you still have a ROM on your sd card? You could do a full wipe (cache/dalvik/factory reset/system) and flash it again.
You mentioned you did a factory reset, if you did that in recovery you're fine but if you did it in bootloader you've corrupted your sd card and it will need to be formatted.
In that case you will need to work out why your pc isn't recognizing your phone. Make sure you have the correct drivers installed, then you can mount the phone in recovery and format it in Windows. And if need be copy a ROM across to flash.

Use a recovery that has those features...?
Flash twrp 2.6
Then fastboot erase cache
Then fastboot reboot bootloader
Then select recovery.

How do I install that recovery if my PC doesn't detect my HTC?

Do what I said and work out why your pc doesn't recognize your phone. Using fastboot to flash TWRP 2.6 is really your only option right now. So, make sure you have the correct drivers installed and make sure you have fastboot installed.

Installing adb/fastboot is simple, have a look here. Also go to htc.com and go to the download section on the One XL page, and download the latest HTC Sync. Install that and you'll have the right drivers.
Secondly, you might need to try a different usb cable and/or usb port to get your pc to recognise your phone.

I've just been assuming you have the Evita this whole time because you're posting in the Evita forum.
Before we go any further we need to identify your device. Boot into bootloader and tell us what it says, Evita or Endeavour?

Can you boot to the bootloader? On the HBOOT screen choose FASTBOOT then plug your phone into your PC, it should then say FASTBOOT-USB
If you can get to there, you should be able to sort the issue out..... reply back on this thread.....

This. Either you can use fastboot to reflash the kernel or flash a recovery and use adb push in Recovery to transfer a new rom and flash it.

@Ecstacy42 - Couldn't have put it better myself sir!
If you have issues with the push, flash twrp you can then enter adb sideload and it will flash you the rom automatically....

This means your phone's stock recovery or any recovery that you currently have is corrupted .....
There are method to flash only your corrupted recovery , but I recommend to re- flash your stock firmware using pc ( as such methods has always resulted in failure)

I mean your recovery is corrupted ...so you can either revert back to 0.96 and start flashing a fresh stock kernel or stay in the same version and flash..... recovery corruption mostly occurs when trying to flash a new recovery over the stock recovery ....

Surf the cwm and find an option 'mount sdcard ' or 'mount usb ' ( generally found under 'mounts and storage' )
Doing this will access sdcard on phone
check your pc whether you can access it there ....
