Which recovery did you flash?
Depending on what you've already tried, we can get you back just need to know where you are.

I pushed cwm and twrp using flashboot and everytime i cant mount the sdcard is there any way to flash to stock using flashboot or bootloader

yes. relock your bootloader
from bootloader type fastboot oem lock
then you can flash the 1.85 RUU
just run the file from windows.
After that you can unlock with the same unlock token you got when you unlocked in the first place
then you can install recovery again

but the ruu requires the phone to be on and usb debugging on

You can find a link to the drivers in the first post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1709424
Once you have them installed you'll have to reboot in to fastboot and install the official 1.85 RUU.
Also so you know I had a similar experience when I was on cleanrom 2.6 and tried to format and go to 3.0. I had to relock the bootloader, RUU to stock and install a different rom cause 3.0 would just never install for me for whatever reason, it would always bootloop back in to recovery. However I had backed up my NANDROID to my PC so I copied it back over to my SD card after I was on stock then restored it then did an in-place upgrade to 3.1 which worked. I was able to install cleanrom 4 after a wipe without issue.

The previous response asked a question that may help us determine what the problem is, but you didn't answer it.
I'm wondering the same. You said you tried to install "a few" recoveries. Where did you try to install them from?
In particular, some people are trying to install CWM for the wrong device (Tegra3 quad core) onto our version of the phone (Snapdragon S4 dual core) and messing up their phones.

I was on the onxroot web site and got it from there yeah I just checks I was flashing the qual core version of cwm and twrp I just flash twrp 2.18 or 17 I'm note sure and is working now but I'm not sure because I've see there is a beer version 2.20 I think but I try to flash it and it would not stay I would have to flash it every time I boot up

Don't flash things from random websites. Stick to the development subforum for our device. Also sounds like you may need to slow down, and do more research, before flashing anything more. People have been warned so many times against flashing things meant for the quad core One X, using CWM on our device, etc.
Not sure how to fix flashing the wrong recovery. Maybe somebody has some a suggestion.
My only idea would be to relock the bootloader and run the RUU. But not sure if that can somehow do more harm than good.

Just flash a proper recovery from hboot, then fastboot boot "nameofrecovery".img

I flash the right one already but it's a old version but when I try to flash the update twrp recovery it won't stick I have not done no harm to my phone it still works ims still using it

You may have actually done harm to the phone, since the partitioning on the Tega3 and Snapdragon versions of the phone is different. You're lucky you can boot at all after flashing the wrong recovery.

I had done a back up with the twrp recovery and once I try to boot up it would not load but like I said I have the correct twrp but all o need to know is can I flash the update one or what is the latest twrp version for my att HTC one x

Everything you will ever need for this phone is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237

The latest TWRP available for our device is here:

I can't quite follow what state your phone is in at this point, but if you have a bootable, rooted system try installing GooManager (linked at the site I posted) and run the Install OpenRecovery Script option. Otherwise, download the boot.img and install it through fastboot. Instructions are on the site I linked.

Damnn thanks so much I downloaded goo from the play store and download the recovery script.IMG and i got the correct and updated version of twrp simple as that I just need to thank everyone on here for ur help tread is now closed

[Q] S4 , cant access my recovery or boot normally!

i cannot boot phone into recovery nor can i boot phone normally... I had just installed Viper one S rom on my phone and rebooted into recovery because my wifi wasnt working , so i was just going to revert back to an old rom. After clicking reboot to recovery from Viper rom the screen just went white . I had to power it down manually, after powering it up it would stop at htc screen with the red development lines... tried to go into recovery and it will come up for a second then disapear then phone reboots.... any ideas? oh I also had installed Latest radio in CWM after installing rom.. I hear its buggy in CWM...

I had the same problem. Did you flash the boot.IMG in recovery or fastboot? If you flashed in recovery and its not supported by your hboot version. That could be the issue. Try re flashing the boot.IMG using fastboot. If you still cannot get it to work. I would try reinstalling a custom recovery manually and restarting the Rom flashing process. There are forums all over the place to help with that. Try twrp. Ps this is all assuming you are able to get into your boot loader.

Problem fixed. Don't ask me how lol. All I did was relock boot loader and flash stock ROM. Stock ROM would not load so I just decided to unlocked boot loader and phone rebooted fine. Recover works to.. crazy.

That happened to me when I didn't fast boot flash the boot.IMG file, but only the latest Viper has given me grief with that.

Help! Brick?

Just got the HTC One S( HTC branded S4 edition). I unlocked the boot loader, rooted , flash a recovery , and then installed CM10. Everything went well until the final install , when the Cyanogen Boot was stuck. I have no idea what I did afterwards, but now the SD is unmounted. It doesn't boot up to HTC stock , the HTC developer pages just open and stays on .. I could fastboot. I backed up everything, but somehow everything got deleted.
What to do? I need help!

Sounds to me like you forgot to flash the kernel, then did something else wrong afterwards in the attempt to fix. I have the S3 version, but I had a similar problem with the ROM getting stuck, then my recovery was unable to mount the SD. There are 2 options, one is to use fastboot to re-lock your device, and flash the latest RUU for your CID, or you can adb sideload a ROM if you are using TWRP. I would probably go for the RUU anyway because it is the easiest. Just go into the bootloader, choose 'fastboot', use the command to re-lock the bootloader (I just use the All-In-One Tool) and then run the RUU when the phone is in fastboot mode, the phone will then be good as new (except for the Tampered warning in bootloader, but that can be remedied with the S4 version)

This happened to me just flash TWRP wipe everything and get another ROM on there

I was in the exact same situation as you, it worked for me (on the second repeat). If it doesn't work the first time, then just try again.

Thanks to all, especially to member Ami007. Im back and running again. I relocked the bootloader using fastboot, downloaded the correct RUU file that corresponds to my phone, and run the program.. Kudos to all!!!

[Q] Brick or Hardware Issue?

Picked up an inspire 4g off of cl.Paid 20 for it because it had no battery. Put a batter in it and it boots to the htc screen, black screen, then reboots. Volume down was broken but I fixed it and am able to enter hboot. Phone had already been unlocked through htcdev. So I relocked it and ran the newest 3.20 RUU. It completed successfully and rebooted. However, it does the same thing. So I tried to factory reset it through bootloader. Again it just reboots and does the same thing. So I decided to try to htc dev unlock it and flash a custom recovery. Everything went smooth and recovery flashed. But when I select recovery in bootloader it does the same bootloop over again. Again I've tried using the latest RUU to no avail. Ive tried everything I know of to do. I'm out of ideas. It seems like a great phone and I really want to fix this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

If the bootloader is unlocked and you can flash a ROM, fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip and see if it works. Detailed instructions in my signature.

Unfortunately I can't enter recovery to flash a rom. It just reboots at the white screen. The only thing I was able to flash was the stock RUU. And it still didn't boot. I've also tried flashing recoveries but that doesn't work either. It flashes successfully but never boots into it.
