CWM cant mount SD you need TWRP for that and a RUU put you back to stock but the bootloader needs relocking. So did you even try booting the rom because the red writing is fine.
you didn't mention it, but you should wipe system and caches as well as data
Not hard brick. you can chose the correct Ruu file and flash it to your phone.... solved your case.

CWM can not mount our sdcard onto your computer over USB.
But it absolutely can mount the sdcard partition onto the root filesystem.
Unless you have the 'unmountable sdcard' problem, for which there is a sticky in Q&A.
My feeling is that the OP didnt mount the sdcard partition. In that case it is normal to see the mount point as an empty folder.
Once it's mounted, you can adb push rom zips to it.

Download the right RUU for your carrier and location by looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1543588 and you can get free download at http://www.4shared.com/folder/jKN2qjTl/HTC_Ville_RUU_Collection.html
Then plug in your phone and follow the instructions when you run the RUU .exe file.
AKToronto
but everytime i try to run it, it says it fails because the phone it is not connected to the computer but it is...
did you ever try to boot into the rom after you flashed it and boot image as in just tapping on reboot system
can you plug phone into pc and get indicator at top of screen that says you are connected. then pull down notification bar and select to mount drive
if so, does it show you your sdcard in the windows screen
you do have an S4 device and assume you are hboot .13 or higher
if you can get into os and see sdcard, you can get twrp and flash image gui and flash rom and boot image with it
i am sure you tried these things, just hard to know when reading posts
also, i don't know if you are running your commands correctly based on how i undestand your posts. you can't run adb commands from fastboot, which is what you were in to fastboot boot image. you would want to type fastboot reboot-bootloader
if you are very familiar with adb/fastboot--sorry. if not need to get up to speed on them
if i misread or misunderstood any of this, sorry for butting in--

Something went wrong which I am not gonna explain too much.
Now My phone doesn't have an OS.
I have Unlocked Bootloader,
I have CWM installed. However, the USB storage Mount isn't working. "No UMS error"
I can still use CWM, but I don't have any rom in the SDCARD.
I can boot into boot loader, I can see fastboot USB.
I want to install a rom, any rom for now. but I don't have access to the SDcard. I couldn't mount it.
Is there a way to write a file or put a rom on the SDCard?
of course the SDCARD is build-in so yea....
Please help~!!!
i could be wrong, but if you can get to fastboot, cant you flash via RUU? i mean its obviously not a custom rom, but a hell of a lot better than a brick.
most RUU is exe file...
I can flash a stock rom. but I need a .zip rom.
I tried using the one of the custom rom. but it says something about a .txt file missing.
Right, RUUs are exe files intended to be flashed via windows. I thought that you could plug your phone in when in fastboot mode, or maybe its after you select bootloader, and then run the RUU and it would flash the phone. Is that not the case? Those are just my thoughts so i could be wrong. This is my first real HTC experience so i may be way off base.

A very similar problem
Hi all,
I've gotten myself into a very similar problem, but the solution posted here hasn't fixed my issue.
I have an HTC One X 2.20 on AT&T. I used the X-Factor exploit to root my phone successfully. I have TWRP 2.3.1 recovery. I have a Mac.
While in TWRP recovery, I pressed "Factory Reset", "Wiped System", and wiped "External Storage." My phone now doesn't have an OS.
I tried the listed solution "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/Download/rom.zip" and the newly flashed ROM would be on my SDcard, but as soon as I rebooted, it would disappear. ALSO, when I tried to "Install" the ROM before rebooting, I get "Failed- unable to mount /sdcard".
Any advice on how to proceed?
Thanks so much!

Well, wiping /system = wiping the OS, so that is logical.
Doing factory reset in recovery means you need to reformat your SD card before doing anything else.

I think you need to uncheck "Unmount sdcard" under "Mount" in TWRP recovery.

Hi, Brand new Noob here, but hoping someone can help…I’ve had a good scour around and can’t find the answer. We have a Htc one x from orange uk (cid orang001) stuck at “quietly brilliant” screen following an attempt to load ViperX 2.6.0. After downloading, the MAC unzipped the ROM so this was just rezipped back up and transferred over to the SD card, without any special conditions. ( I’ve since read somewhere that this might cause issues)
USB debugger was enabled but its not possible to enable it now.
Fastboot works ok, and we’ve flashed the boot ok, but ADP isn’t working, so it isn’t possible to push the correct ROM.ZIP to the SDcard. CWM is installed.
We’ve seen the post for an updated CWM with ADP enabled on this here but that states its only for at&t models. If we could get ADP working we’d be able to push the correct ROM over, so this would seem the easiest way if possible.
I wanted to avoid doing a RUU in case the phone would end up bricked, but I can’t get the correct version anyway.
Command ./fastboot getvar version-main returns
version-main: 3.16.61.6 and the noob guide at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 says we can’t use a lower version….the nearest RUU I can find is 1.29.061.11 (released on 31/01/2013).
Any ideas on how best to recover this phone? The issue might not be anything to do with the zipping of the ROM, but then I have no idea why its not working…I’m hoping it’s a simple procedure, but I fear it may not be! Please Help!

oops, sorry :/
Hi Everyone,
So i followed all the steps to temp root 2.20 including successfully installing TWRP (Team Win Recovery Project). I then downloaded the CM10 rom and extracted the boot.img as per posts and rebooted into the bootloader and flashed the boot.img from CM10 via Fastboot. However after doing then rebooting to Recovery mode in order to flash the ROM, i get stuck in the red text where it gives you a warning about it being in development mode or something.
I am able to successfully boot into the bootloader via Power+down volume. Additionally I am able to boot into the TWRP recovery just fine, however I am lost and have no clue how to restore my phone to either the CM10 ROM or most importantly at least to stock working condition.
When i got to mount the SDCARD via twrp normally i would get a pop up on my screen and allow me to access my SD card, now i get a pop up just telling me that i need to format my SD card first. I'm afraid some how my SD card got wiped or something.
Can someone please walk me through the steps on how to restore my phone. Please if possible i would appreciate using LAME terms as i do not have any experience as you can tell i screwed up :/ Can you please listed step by step instructions including commands for Fastboot/adb etc etc if needed. Thank you very much for your help and support.

I know you tried to help, but it appears now I have bricked the phone. Hopefully i can fix it as i still have access to Bootloader and TWRP recovery. I'll PM you in the morning, thank you.
dont factory reset in bootloader. only factory reset in twrp. sometimes evita has a hard time getting into recovery from bootloader. just keep trying to get into recovery from bootloader. also even if your phone doesn't boot all the way adb sometimes still works. so try "adb reboot recovery" while its trying to boot.
if you did corrupt your sdcard try this method to get it fixed without having to run ruu.
[How to] Fix corrupt/unmountable internal storage on the HTC One X/XL
when you get your sdcard fixed remember to wipe everything and then copy cm10 and gapps to your sdcard and flash. since boot.img is already flashed you shouldn't need to do it again.
you did flash boot.img as "fastboot flash boot boot.img"? i made the mistake of flashing boot.img to recovery instead of boot. i was freaking out. just to make sure flash recovery again "fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.3.1.0-evita.img"

Yes i did fastboot flash boot boot.img from within the Bootlader. FYI that boot.img was from inside the CM10 zip file. I belive my SD card is corrupt i will check out that link. FYI I am able to get into Recovery mode form the Boatloader if i chooser recovery. However since the SD card seems messed up i can't access it currently. Also I tried to use the method to install the CM10.zip file using TWRP recovery. That recovery has a GUI and you can click on the INSTALL button and choose the zip file you want to install, however it errors out.
What is the proper way to flash a rom when i am in the TWRP recovery? Can you provide me with the commands/steps? Thanks for all your support guys.

install/install from zip/browse to your zip/slide to flash (they really should patent that)
now most of us, to do a clean flash, we'd go into the "wipe" menu in TWRP before flashing , factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe system. then we flash our rom.
hope that cleared it up!

You won't be able to flash anything until you fixed your sdcard using the method in that link.

I tried to fixed corrupted SD card as per video. however after flashing the recovery.img via fastboot when it wants me to do a factory reset instead of doing the factory reset it just goes back to the HTC brilliant screen with the red warning text and sits there. If i go to twpr recovery and click on install i can't access me zip currently due to sd card issues.
Is there a way to format via PC since it lets me as long as I am in twpr and just put stock files/folders onto the SD card? Or is it possible to install the 2.20 ruu again? I re-downloaded it form HTC's site while I am in twrp however I cannot install it won't detect my phone. Thanks for your help.
"fastboot oem lock" then run ruu. ruu gets run in fastboot.
after the ruu, reunlock bootloader and flash twrp, copy cm10 and gapps to your sdcard, flash boot.img in fastboot, wipe everything except for external storage in twrp, flash cm10 and gapps in twrp, then reboot.
If you can get into twrp and go to mount, mount usb storage and connect your phone windows should prompt you to format the SD card.
Once that's done you can drag and drop the rom you want to flash then boot into fastboot and flash the boot.img.
If you want to run the ruu you need to relock the bootloader first.
To do that you must go into fastboot usb and then type fastboot oem lock.

I'm sorry i'm not too tech savy. Can you clarify how to Fastboot OEM lock. Assuming i just need to be in fastboot mode and run a command in command prompt?
Also once that is done how can i run RUU via fastboot? Right now i have HTC RUU for 2.20 from august that i downloaded from their site and not sure how i can have it detect my phone. If you could clarify and explain those steps in Lame terms i would greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance.

That's the command you do and the ruu is an exe file so get into fastnoot on your phone from bl and run the ruu after you've locked the bootloader
Thank you both will try that now.
Hey guys thanks for all your help and your support it worked. I had the wrong CM10 file instead of Evita i had the other one :/ That was the issue all along ugh... but all resolved could of not have done it without your support. Thanks!! I can now finally go to bed.. been at it since 10pm, now 3:11am
Maybe you can help me . I'm having the same problem. The problem is, everytime I try to use any fastboot commands, it'll say "waiting for device". I'm stressing out.

Make sure you have the right drivers installed, download the latest htc sync from htc's website.
Install HTC sync connect phone and let the drivers install, then make sure you close htc sync from the system tray and try again.
Like DvineLord said below make sure you're in the bootloader then select Fastboot once selected it should say in red writing Fastboot USB.
fastboot only works in bootloader btw
Hit the thanks button for the people helping you fix your boo boos.

So I have noticed with my phone (hboot 1.14) I have to DISCONNECT it from my computer while in bootloader to be able to boot into recovery. So I do the following:
With phone in bootloader fastboot mode:
1) fastboot reboot-bootloader
2) While the screen is black, DISCONNECT the cable
3) In bootloader, use vol keys navigate to Recovery
4) Hopefully profit
Give it a try

Can you relock the bootloader? If can then download the official RUU(here is 2.20 firmware http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-x-att/software-updates) and that'll probably save your phone.
oh, you can use the all in one toolkit(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426) to relock your bootloader if you can.. good luck

So I have noticed with my phone (hboot 1.14) I have to DISCONNECT it from my computer while in bootloader to be able to boot into recovery. So I do the following:
With phone in bootloader fastboot mode:
1) fastboot reboot-bootloader
2) While the screen is black, DISCONNECT the cable
3) In bootloader, use vol keys navigate to Recovery
4) Hopefully profit
Give it a try

You probably corrupted it at some point in this process. You need to mount with your pc and reformat. It happens.

Sweet! Glad I could help, it took me a while to figure it out too, my palms were all sweaty thinking I derped my phone. And about the un-mountable SD card:
I had the same problem with my Nexus 10 when I was unlocking the bootloader, and all I had to do was actually do a format via Recovery (TWRP). Then I was able to boot into the ROM -- although I wasn't able to mount the Nexus 10 SD card still....so thats still a mystery. But I was able to get into the installed ROM

i tried that, and it failed.
i almost had windows format it, but i don't know which format type (FAT 32?)
and i'm still not clear if it will brick if i do
NEW EDIT: it doesn't brick, use default format type.
looks like i'm out of the weeds, thanks for all the quick replies.

Does your TWRP not have a "Format Data" Option in the Wipe Menu?
Edit: Just read your most recent edit, happy flashing hope everything works out. Oh and add [Solved] to your title if you don't mind
it does, but even that didn't work..
Hi. Please please can anybody help me rescue my htc one s? I had rooted my phone and last night i tried to flash cyanogenmod 10 onto it. I tried several times but it kept getting stuck on the cyanogenmod splash screen. To cut a long story short, i have now wiped my phone of everything, rom and all. All i can do on my phone is access bootloader menu and recovery. I can not even mount my sd card. I have read that i need to flash the stock recovery to remount my sd card but i can not find a stock recovery file anywhere on the net. Can somebody point me in the right direction? also, can somebody please explain (in very simple terms!) if i can flash a new rom on my phone from bootloader or recovery? And if so, how? As i can not 'see' my phone when i connect it to my laptop, and as i cannot access sd card, i can not copy the rom zip file to the sd card and install from there! I am well and truly stuck! Please could somebody help me save my phone??? Thanks in advance!
US or International? Need to give location info or CID to run the proper RUU.
Once you have the right RUU you have to connect phone in fastboot usb mode, relock boot loader using adb command prompt type...fastboot oem lock. Then you simply run ruu file while phone is connected in fastboot usb mode. You will be back to stock and unrooted.
Here is link to all RUUs...http://www.filefactory.com/f/cf061f69b5bf7878/

I am in the UK. Thanks for the reply. Sorry to be such a noob, but i'm not sure what to do with the adb command part? Where do i type the command and what exactly do i type? I am in fastboot usb now.

Unzip and place the folder in C drive. Example: put all files c:\fastboot "folder"
In windows7, go to start-->Run and type cmd then right click on cmd and select run as admin

Thanks for the reply. I have managed to relock the bootloader (says that at top of bootloader screen) and i have now tried to run 2 different RUU files but both times it has stopped half way through saying it is not the correct version. How do i know which version i should use? My phone is a uk model which was not locked to a network when i bought it. Thanks.
You can try a goldcard method, or the PM66IMG or something else, dunno the name for the One S. Just search on how to bypass the CID check, or search for goldcard tutorials.
EDIT: sorry, didn't saw you don't have access to your sdcard. Do you have any other phone with an sd card slot? Or a sd OTG stick?
EDIT: sorry maybe that doesn't work, dunno if the one s has a sd card slot or not.

Unlock your bootloader (htcdev.com) and fastboot flash twrp recovery image..(rename the image "recovery" then place it in your fastboot directory. I use /android-sdk/platform-tools).don't do anything else posted. after you get to this point then follow links that cat gave you..if you want cm10 rom. You can mount your sd in that recovery. Your phone is not bricked
To flash the recovery after you download it (assuming you are unlocked at this point) place your phone in bootloader mode then select fastboot. Now in your command window type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img then press enter.. now reboot into recovery,.
In twrp recovery select MOUNT then select MOUNT USB STORAGE. Your sdcard should now be visible on your computer

If you still can't see your sd card after flashing custom recovery the sd card may be corrupted. In that case you could try following my post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36385593
But you would need root access for your phone so it may or may not work depending on how much of your phone you have wiped. You can access adb commands as well if your in twrp recovery.

Thanks so much for the advice so far, i'm really beginning to think I might actually save my phone! I have done what you said (ie unlocked bootloader, done the steps to remount sd card, re flashed twrp recovery) and have now mounted usb storage and it is visable on my laptop (running windows 8). What should I do now? I don't mind which rom I put on at this point, just as long as my phone works again. Stock or CM10 are both fine for me.
*UPDATE*
I placed the cm10 zip into the sdcard via laptop and then went into twrp recovery and chose install and clicked on the zip. Everything seemed to work but when I rebooted my phone gets stuck on the htc splash screen??

Looks like you have to flash boot.img seperately. Extract boot.img from ROM zip and fast boot flash it with adb command prompt.

Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
Your One S is far from bricked if you can access bootloader and recovery.
EDIT INSERT: Re-unlock.
Just ADB push your ROM to the sd. (Don't worry about the sd mounting in recovery, it's not supposed to work)
Flash your rom's boot.img in fastboot.....and......well......done?
Let us know.
Thanks everybody so much, I now have my phone back!!!!! Such a relief! I have installed CM10 and I love the look of it. Just one last problem though and that is that I have no signal/service?? I looked on the net and could it be apn settings? Anybody know what I should do? Thanks.
First time post and it's been a hell of a day. I need to figure out how to either sideload the factory ROM, load a 3rd party ROM, or actually factory reset my phone to stock.
I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP and SuperSU earlier in the day. I then wanted to try to load Cyanogen11, but there were issues with the load, it constantly failed. I made a backup before I did this, but when I attempted to load the backup, nothing happened, it would just continually boot to recovery.
I attempted a few other things, clearing caches, doing wipes, powering the phone off for 5~ minutes, etc. etc.
Nothing is working, I can't load any ROM now and phone is either stuck at a bootcycle or the HTC Splash screen (Aside from being able to load bootloader/CWP)

Are you still having issues? If so, PM me and I'll help you out.....
Got everything sorted with the great help of Nelvin. I had previously gone to the twrp support IRC and after answering a few questions, they just stopped talking... Glad there are people out there still willing to help! He spent a good hour or so with me making sure everything was working.
Hey you two!
Did you solve your problem via PM, then maybe send me the log of it please.
I dont know exactly if we have the same problem, but i'll try to explain mine:
I wanted to put a ROM on my mini, because it is branded.
I unlocked the bootloader on the htc one mini and then put the twrp recovery on it. It seems to work.
Next i wanted to put super su on it, but I'm already stuck in a bootcircle, so i cant put any files onto the phone. I tried to move files with Qick ADB Pusher, but always when I try to send the file from PC(win7) to one mini it says "Opeartion Failed! Exit Code 1". I tried this when i was in Bootloader. When I am in Recovery ADB doesnt even recognize the phone via USB.
If there is more explanation needed, please feel free to ask.
Thank you for your help in advance!

Hi, can you let me know: Which ROM you want to flash, if you have attempted to s-off, and that you can boot to recovery?
Also, i'd advise against using utilities like the "pusher", please download this http://d-h.st/qmi and create a directory called c:\adb\ - move your ROM and SuperSU zip files here and extract the adb_windows.zip file to the directory.....
I did not attempt s-off, just normal htc dev bootloader.
First i wanted to flash Magio R4, but then i was thinking about Stock Rom Sense 5.5, which tr1gg3r84 uploaded.
i created folder and moved rom there. i also extracted the adb_windows zip there. what to do next? (i just wanna ask, because im a little scared of totaly breaking the phone now)
Thanks for now!

Boot to recovery, then
adb push therom.zip /sdcard/
adb push UPDATE-SuperSU.zip /sdcard/
Remember to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file, and after flashing the ROM and SuperSU, boot to bootloader and FASTBOOT menu then:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
you mean to push with the quick ADB Pusher? but in this programm (on PC) it doesnt find the phone whilie it is is recovery boot.

No, use the adb binary from the download link I posted......
If your phone isn't found, check the windows device manager and verify that you have ADB Android device listed..... if not, download adb drivers for windows and install - then plug your phone back in.....
You are using TWRP 2.6.0.0 recovery image from here right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418938
the adb.exe just pops up the cmd console, showing a lot of commands for half a second and then its gone again.
the android device is listed on device manager.
no, i did not use this one(twrp). i used some explanation how to do it from another forum and another file.
should i use this one now? how exactly to do that? theres no explanation :/
Open a command prompt in Windows and cd to c:\adb
Then when your phone is in recovery, type the adb commands I posted earlier.....

ok got it.
now the rom and the supersu.zip are on the phone.
i cleared cache and dalvik and flashed both files(Stock Sense 5.5 4.3 Rooted Odex/Deodex;UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86; both zip files) and , after that i went into fastboot and tried (fastboot folder) "fastboot flash boot boot.img" but cmd only says "waiting for device"

Check device manager on your pc, most likely the adb driver device isn't listed - if not, reboot your pc and try again.... This has happened to me several times......
ok now it worked. writing boot and so on .. finished. total time: 2.717.
i shut it down and started the phone again.
now it almost made the starting sound. after 5 boot cycles it played the whole starting sound and also showed the second screen with the "o1ne" and "beatsaudio" on the bottom.
but thats it. boot cycling in a different way now .
seems like it just doesnt want to work.
i'm so sorry that I am bothering you for so long now..
another idea?
thanks again!
edit: im gonna go through everything again with magio rom r5...
ok got it now. thanks a lot dude!
i deleted the rom files now from the phone but still there is 9gb used on the phone. this is way to much, isnt it?
is there a safe method to clean the whole phone .. something like c:format ?
thanks ³
No problem dood.....
Download an app called diskusage from the store - start it and choose storage card.... Post a screenshot please!

after the phone went out of battery, it was in a boot cycle again after loading and rebooting.
flashed super su.zip again, but it didnt help. stupid me didnt do a backup yet. so do i have to install the rom again and do all the configs from scretch?
What's your hboot status? Locked/unlocked, s-on/s-off etc
Also, did you do, or install anything before your phone powered off?
