[Q] Fastboot + recovery working, no rom - HTC One S

hi there. I was trying to flash custom ROM. JB+SENSE+ I did wipe, flashed rom, but now the phone is just going to bootloader and nothing else. I can go to recovery but cant mount SD card to push any rom on it. Can anybody help, please?

Flash TWRP recovery it will let you mount the SD card. Then don't use CWM on your One S anymore.

Tried that already, but didnt help. Still cant mount SD card.
Now my phone is just stock on bootscreen(HTC quietly brilliant) and does nothing. Can only restart and go to recovery.

Flash the stock recovery

Here you go, don't forget you have to flash it in fastboot.
https://dl.dropbox.com/s/g4r0ryvjy6oce9k/recovery.img?dl=1
Or if you have the All in One toolkit you can place that file into the data folder then press the flash your own recovery button.

Thanks for that. You probably saved a few years of my life. .
Sd card mounted
Now just to find working rom. I have cwm backup in my laptop. How could I push it to my sd. Does it have to be the clockworkmod folder or I can copy to sd root and then use restore in cwm recovery?

if you flashed twrp, you can't restore cwm bu with iy
make a new bu with twrp even before flashing a new rom

Actually, I have got twrp backup as well. Just need to copy it to my sd. Ill try that after work. if I'm stocked ill seek sone help here. Thanks guys for help.
EDIT: got sorted, after I flashed boot.img extracted from rom everything working fine.
Only one thing. I cant mount sd card to my laptop.... But...... Too late tonight, leave it for another time.

ALL FILES ARE IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION.
First u need super one click root, than you need one click recovery...pick cwm 3.0.2.7 than go to development and download cm7, the gapps are in the same thread. Put it on your sd card and than boot into recovery with power+down vol and pick install from sd card and pick the rom. Once its done flash the gapps and than reboot. Your all done

Are you doing a wipe first? marking the 2-3 options? I say do it again, make sure a full wipe. Not that I have ever done this b4, but I did stay at a holiday inn express last night.. Edit: seriously, take my advice w/ a grain of salt. i've done a lot of reading and people are saying there are 3 options that can be ticked during a wipe.. to make sure there is a clean install.. I haven't used cwm yet, just read about it.. alot.

Easy way really if your on twrp if you can get into recovery download a Rom on your pc and put your phone into recovery and you'll see USB mount option in recovery! Voila!
Let us all hope that he chose to go with TWRP.

[Q] TWRP wont let me flash rom, no OS installed

Well i was trying to install cleanROM 5.1 and cleanKERNEL on my HOX, but every time i would try it would say failed (unable to mount /sdcard, etc.) so i wiped my cache, did a factory reset, wiped external storage, then accidentally did a system reset so i have no OS installed now, i was running 2.20 before but found a tut to unlock bootloader and root. in bootloader it says ***tampered*** and ***unlocked***
So if i have a custom recovery installed that means im rooted right?
and basically what can i do to install this rom and kernel without an error

You have to plug it in to computer, open up "my computer" and click it... It'll ask you to reformat sdcard. Once its done, download cleanrom on your computer, mount your sdcard in trwp, and drag it onto your phone. open up recovery on your phone and flash entire rom :thumbup:

Just wanted to let you know that you are in the wrong forum. This is the HTC One XL forum, you need to ask your question in the Galaxy Nexus forum. That will be the best place to get an answer.

You have to flash the boot.img separately. There are only about 100 threads on this issue.

Resloved.. mods plzz delete

Hello everyone, i have a huge problem. First off my htc is rooted and the recovery im using is CWM and i have been having problem restoing my backup roms that include CM10 and the stock ROM. my first problem arose while trying to restore my stock Rom. i booted into recovery then i performed a wipe, followed by restoring the rom. When the phone booted up, it would sit at the splash screen for 3 minutes then get stuck at a dark screen for about 10 minutes, then it would do it over and over stuck in a boot loop. I then decided to go back to CM10. That rom restored perfectly and everything was fine. However i really wanted a sense rom again, so i flashed TeamVenom's ViperOneS Rom 1.2.0, again a wipe was done prior to the flash. btw i had to manually flash the boot.img using fastboot. ViperOneS worked fine, but i realised that CM10 was just better overall. So i restored CM10, but this time it would get stuck at the CM10 boot animation. Then i went back to viperOneS. SO then i tried to see if i could restore cm10 again. When i went into recovery, it said cant mount /sd card. so i went to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459
and followed the instructions. i then decided to try to flash cm9 and now im ****ed cause i have no backups due to the loss of backups and cm9 is stuck on a whiute screen after the boot animation. someone plzz help!!!!!
Update: i still have no access to sd card. tried flashing stock recovery, didnt work. and somehow, i have no OS, according to TWR. Some one help with these issues.

Ya each time it didn't work the boot.img needed flashing even for a backup so ya you need to fastboot the boot.img for it to work.
any boot.img? or should i extract the boot.img from the rom .zip file

From the rom zip.

I think that right but not 100% sure so better check that or you could use the All-In-One Toolkit.
ok, i just flashed the boot.img, hopefully this works. and this will also solve my unable to mount sd card problem?
no its not working. its still stuck on the white screen when booting up. any other suggestions??

If you don't care of your backups Ny more then just format phone on the pc. Use mount to transfer the rom and remember to flash boot.

[Q] Can't mount internal SD Card

Can't figure out what I did (not relevant at the moment I suppose) but I'm trying to flash ANY rom and I always get the same kind of error (no matter what recovery I am using). It says "can't mount /sdcard or can't mount /media etc etc. Do I need to repartition my internal SD? If so how do I do it ?
Thanks a lot,
Bob
Very unlikely that you have to partition your SD - maybe format oarts of it, but that depends what you did....
What rom, recovery and bootloader version are you on? You sure you flashed the correct recovery???

If you can get to fastboot, reflash TWRP, reboot, then boot to recovery and try again.
