[Q] Bricked my HTC One S - 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...

Bricked Htc One S, stuck in bootloader and Clockwork recovery

Hi everyone,
i am so very new to this. here it goes. I tried to root my HTC One S and install cm9. well the root worked. I installed the cm9 rom. that looked like it worked too. so i went to turn the phone on and it booted up ok, showed the cm9 boot up animation, then the screen went completly white and stayed like that. well i booted up into clockworkmod recovery, did a factory reset (i also did a factory reset/clear storage in bootloader), and accidentally erased everything, i think. stock rom, cm9 everything. now i can only get the phone to boot up into the bootloader or clockworkmod recovery. so i think its bricked. it tried to install the tmobile ruu and that failed. idk what to do, im really nervous i wont be able to get my phone back. cwmr also says it cant mount sd card..when i plugged the phone in to the computer, devices menu says android and sometimes it says ville. If someone is able to give me step by step instructions on how to fix this, i would greatly appreciate it because i am freaking out. I have seen the term flash around the forums idk what that means or how to do it. i also tried forcing a new rom thru adb and that didnt work. i really dont know what to do at this point. I would greatly appreciate it, if someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Frank
My guess would be: flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then get a RUU and install it. (and you probably just had the white screen because u didn´t flash boot.img).

try to relock your bootloader with the all in one toolkit and after that, while your phone is in fastboot usb mode with the bootloader reloked, install the offial ruu for your phone. Try to find the download of the original ruu, it is an exe file, when you run it the phone must be connected in fastboot usb, if everything goes fine the phone should be back to stock.
Ok I will try tonight. Hopefully it works.

Did you flash the Rom first or did you even flash a rom
can We assume you have a recovery? Did you make a back up? Hold the power + volume down. From there go into recovery. See if you can flash ur ROM. If says successful, good to go. If not, flash you backup and start over. Or even go back to bootloader & push image again.

Hold power and vol down.. wait for buttons to flash, and shut off but continue holding. After it black for a sec or two, release power but hold vol down for approximately 5 seconds until you see the white hboot screen with skatin droids. From there enter fastboot
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
k got into fastboot now what? sorry im new to this...can you say all the steps...im using rebelmod 3.6.6-evita will this work? so i take the boot img out of it?
1. On your computer, extract Rom. Find the boot.img and move it to where you have SDK, adb and fastboot.
2. Rezip the Rom, but delete the boot.img from it first.
3. Enter fastboot from the hboot screen. (White screen with skating droids) fire up command promt where you put the boot.img. enter this command ----> fastboot flash boot boot.img
4. Enter recovery, flash rebelmod. If it's successful, flash gapps.
5. Profit.
If you manage to get to the colorful x boot ani, you should be golden. Report back bro

Are you on HBOOT 1.14? Did you flash the boot.img in fastboot?
Do you have a backup? You can get back to recovery by holding volume down and pushing the power button for ~15 seconds. When the capacitive buttons stop flashing, release the power button but keep holding volume down. That should get you to the bootloader screen. You can choose recovery or fastboot there.

You shouldnt have to seperate the boot.img in viper 2.4.0. It'll do it for you. Make sure you selected the correct option.

Where did you perform the factory reset? All resetting needs to be done inside twrp.
If that is all truly gone, you need to try and mount the phone as storage when you plug into your pc. From there, reload the Rom you wanted. Go back into twrp and wipe all cache. Then do a system wipe. Finally do a factory reset INSIDE twrp.
Now go to Install in twrp.
Select your rom zip.
Swipe to flash.
Follow Aroma Installer and select your preferences.
Be patient and let it do the install as it will take a little while.
Let it finish and follow steps to reboot.
Once rebooted you need to again be patient as the first boot will take a while.
Enjoy!!

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.

[Q] HTC One X (AT&T) Won't Turn on

Hi,
I am new to rooting the device. I rooted HTC One X (AT&T) using toolkit by Hasoon2000. I followed all the steps as per my knowledge. Everything went good rooting the device, But when I tried to flash CM 10.1 it was giving me failure error. When I did second time it gave me same error but somehow I thought ROM got flashed and went ahead and flashed kernel. While doing so my cell phone battery was till 50% but once I flashed kernel. Suddenly screen went blank and couldn't turn it on. When try to go into fastboot mode it lights up red led and once and stays there until I hit the power button. After hitting power button it shows the HTC logo and displays the message below logo about device being used for development. then within a second screen gets turned off (no red LED) I tried to keep for charging for at least an hour or so with computer as well as on AC power but results are same. Neither I am able to connect it to computer or charge it. I don;t know what is going on with my device. So please can someone help me with this issue?

Hi,
I am new to rooting the device. I rooted HTC One X (AT&T) using toolkit by Hasoon2000. I followed all the steps as per my knowledge. Everything went good rooting the device, But when I tried to flash CM 10.1 it was giving me failure error. When I did second time it gave me same error but somehow I thought ROM got flashed and went ahead and flashed kernel. While doing so my cell phone battery was till 50% but once I flashed kernel. Suddenly screen went blank and couldn't turn it on. When try to go into fastboot mode it lights up red led and once and stays there until I hit the power button. After hitting power button it shows the HTC logo and displays the message below logo about device being used for development. then within a second screen gets turned off (no red LED) I tried to keep for charging for at least an hour or so with computer as well as on AC power but results are same. Neither I am able to connect it to computer or charge it. I don;t know what is going on with my device. So please can someone help me with this issue? I would really appreciate if this issue been resolved.
Thanks in Advance.

Thanks.

While it's off, press and hold volume down and power until the Hboot comes up.

Flash TWRP 2.6 if you're not using that version already.
fastboot flash recovery twrpfilename.img
Download cm 10.1 Check md5 to make sure download was good. Also, make sure you're downloading the one for our device. Link will be in original android dev section.
wipe everything (except sd card) in twrp 2.6
then flash cm 10.1
If you get an error, tell me what the error is.

Thanks you very much exad. Is it important to have S-OFF? Can I install android 4.3 ROM on HTC One X. Have you tried that? How can I check md5 to make sure CM is good?
S-off allows you to ruu without bricking.
Yes. I am running android 4.3 cm 10.2 right now. There have been bricks reported though that issue should be fixed now.
Use an md5 checker program. Google md5 checker.

I have flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.1-m7.img but when I want to go to recovery it is still sticking on that HTC logo screen, giving message in red and getting it off. I don't know what I can do to go in recovery and do the needful.
Could you also provide me link to instruction to install CM 10..2 with that as well?
Thanks

M7 is the new HTC one device you flashed the wrong recovery. You need to flash twrp 2.6 for the evita.

If you are able to boot into recovery, then you should be able to use the command <code> adb push <code>to copy any file from your current directory in computer to the sdcard

Adb won't work, he doesn't have a ROM to boot into.

Even after installing TWRP 2.6 I am not able to flash the ROM. It is saying:

Wrong ROM. You have evita not endeavour.
Look before you download and flash wrong recovery and ROM because you are on track to brick your device. You have burnt 2 of your lives already.
You have no idea how lucky you are as your device should already be broken.

I think I have installed CM 10.1.2 for evita but now it is not rebooting into ROM. I am not able to reboot automatically. I have press and hold power and volume down key to go into fastboot. I am not getting what I am doing wrong now.

Ok. But listen to what Twisteddx said just before, take your time and make sure you're only flashing things meant for your device. He was right, you're EXTREMELY lucky you haven't bricked your phone yet. Only download ROMs from within this forum!

If you are s-on you need to extract the boot.img from the rom you're flashing and fastboot flash boot boot.img or it won't boot. With S-off this step is no longer required.
