[Q] HTC ONE S no rom no adb no sd card

Hi !
I have been trying to fix my htc one s (s4) for several days now, and i'm stuck.
I tried to update my HBOOT and get back to stock rom by flashing a RUU but I got the wrong one (signature verification fail) but I'm not sure that's what caused the problem.
When I plug my phone in in recovery (TWRP or CWM) an empty disk is detected on my computer but no sd card so i can't format it or load another ROM to be flashed.
I did a factory reset to see if it would fix it but it did not.
I have no ROM left on my phone, no backup available, adb does not work ( each adb command gets me a error:device not found ) and adb devices can't see my phone.
My HTC Drivers are updated.
Fastboot and bootloader, however, still work.
I have tried changing cable.
When I wipe dalvik in TWRP, I get this line among the other ones in the log:
/sd-ext not present, skipping
when i do a factory reset one of the line is
E: unknowv olume for path [/sd-ext]
And sometimes, although I'm not sure what triggers it, I get a bunch of
Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
My phone is S-ON, H-BOOT is 1.14.0002
I don't know what to try anymore I hope I'm not the owner of a shiny little brick.
Does anyone have any ideas what my fix it ?
I apologize for my english if my grammar is poor, I'm French.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

First, thanks for the quick reponse.
So I flashed a custom recovery but instead of having a menu i get a red triangle and it stops. Then after several minutes the phone goes into bootloop.
Any ideas !

I tried nevertheless to lock and run the ruu.
upon lock:

< waiting for device >
...
(bootloader) Lock successfully...
(bootloader) TZ_HTC_SVC_DISABLE ret = 534642040 (0x1FDDFD78)

finished. total time: 0.944s
upon ruu:
it starts normally and then ERROR 131 error id client
and that's it.

"STOCK" recovery. I think you have tried with CUSTOM recovery.
Here is the link for stock recovery. The second download link is the stock recovery image
Flash stock recovery, then relock boot loader and then follow the above procedure :good:

Actually I did flash the stock recovery I just typed custom by mistake. Sorry about that. The one I flashed even came from the same link .

I searched on the forums and I might not have flashed the right ruu.
But i can't seam to find the right one, because strangely "fastboot getvar version-main" gives a blank result.

[Q] Motorola droid razr maxx hd Bricked or something please help

i was on android 4.4 kitat but i wanted to go on 4.1 Jellybeans
so i try to downgrade it, i use Droid Razr Hd Utillity 1.21 to downgrade it to its stock firmware but phone is stuck and now if i try to put any firmware in it
Via RSD LITE its giving error "Failed flashing process 2/20 flash partition "gpt.bin" phone returned FAIL"
But if i try to put firmware Via RSD but with profile Universal its giving me error "Failed flashing process. 11/15 flash boot "boot.img" -> Phone returned FAIL"
i read it some where if i can create profile Via RSDScriptGenerator its gonna make 3 profile Full,Keep Data,Universal
and i have to use universal if i am trying to downgrade but its not working
i even try to put 4.4 in it again but its also not working phone is stuck on Fastboot Flash Mode for now

"downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for gpt
Partition (boot) Security version Downgraded
preflash validation failed for boot"
can any one help me because i think its soft bricked

You're getting the error because you tried to downgrade. Is your boot loader unlocked? If it's not, you can't downgrade. There's a thread in the general section with the latest FW, grab that and flash it, you should be good. If you're unlocked, you still need to correct the error. Flash the latest FW and use the guide in the general section to downgrade.

Razr HD bootloader screen in bootloader screen after install OTA KitKat

Hello, I need urgent help
My Razr HD stay on screen after updating to fastboot KitKat.
*
Brazil was in retail 9.8.2Q Jelly Bean-50-XT925_VQLM-26_Retail_BR_SIGNED_S12_USAVANQURETBRLA022.0R_S1FF_CFC_fb.xml
*
I downloaded the OTA update and leave when I finish stay in fastboot screen with the following:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
10.98 (*) / sha-07671a2, 29.07.2014 10:41:50)
eMMC Info: Size 16gb
*
Device is Locked. Status Code: 0
*
Battery OK
*
Connect USB
Data Cable
downgrade security version
update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup: 0x35
failed to load GPT
CID read failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
No SP partition found
Fastboot Reason: Invalid GPT
Now I had the bootloader unlocked and had already changed several firmware without problem, even down to jelly bean kitkat smoothly through fastboot.
*
I tried fastboot and RSD lite by several firmware brazil's already had, france, etc and nothing gives me errors so as RSD lite fastboot.
*
I do not understand is that I get locked bootloader if it was just installed OTA retail Brazil.
*
The battery at this time should be 50%.
Excuse my English translator, but I'm looking for help.

The same with me! I found on forums that we need to flash the same or newer than OTA update software via RSD Lite. But where find those versions? Can someone help us ? Thanks!

Yes, unfortunately the SBF file has not come yet.
if someone could help. For my part I kept it to not drain the battery and also wait out the SBF

you can flash jelly bean from your original carrier , and see how that works for you. why didnt you unlock your bootloader? that should be on your list of to do man

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately unlock the bootloader is not an option as we did try but can not retrieve the infromacion.
I have tried several versions of JB but I have not been able to work, so Fastboot as RSD lite

FYI :unlocking bootloader can be done via Motorola website

as a friend? if I come and ask me the numbers obtained through fastboot and explain in my previous post that I can not get those numbers
and look at my email and found the key to unlock but I can not access the command window to enter it. I think something about the bootloader that does not let me do any of these operations

I have hbenz2008, CWGSM3VO and kabaldan to thank for getting my phone out of this problem...

Essentially, you just need to flash the KitKat partition/gpt image and the tz image before everything. Those were the only two files it allowed me to flash. Reboot into fastboot just to make sure your phone goes back to unlocked. Then RSD-Lite can do the rest (remember to remove the partition and tz lines from a pre-KitKat firmware's XML file).

Droid Maxx Bricked?

I have run into trouble using this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb0jKB8OFko to flash stock firmware
My device: Droid Maxx
Bootloader locked, not rooted
4.4.4 at the start of the process
I downloaded the suggested firmware and ran into problems.
The first time I attempted it RSD appeared to flash everything except system.img which got hung up and the bootloader gave me a message in red stating: "no valid piv block in sp for system" This occured with the 1FF-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7.2-release-keys.xml.zip 1.0.0 software.
Figuring I had the incorrect firmware i tried two other roms: 1. CFC-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7.2-release-keys.xml.zip 1.0.0 and 2. 1FF-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7-release-keys.xml.zip 1.0.0. Both failed with a different error message. This time RSD and the bootloader told me "preflash validation failed for gpt".
I have tried this with RSD 6.1.5 and 6.2.4
My suspicion is that I don't have the correct firmware, but I could be wrong.
The bad news is that the phone will not boot into recovery or normally. The good news is that the phone WILL enter bootloader mode and RSD WILL recognize it.
Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated.
I posted an identical thread in the Ultra forum.
