Bootloop! I was out and noticed my Cm10 rom wouldn't connect to the internet , neither after rebooting etc. I tried to flash my backup I created and nothing. I can still get into bootloader mode and recovery. I have TWRP recovery, how can I flash another ROM through recovery ?
Click mount in recovery, mount SD, connect phone to pc with cable, put rom of choice on SD, make sure to safely remove! Then click unmount on phone.
Now you should probably factory wipe, and then install the rom.
If you are 1.14,you need to reboot to bootloader after install, and fastboot flash boot boot.img or you will bootloop

Hold the Power button and Vol- button in till it stops flashing then let go of the power button for sec and press again then wait a few secends and the bootloader should show up. Now you should be able to use the toolkit again first thing you want to do is flash TWRP recovery and then use it again to flash the boot.img from the rom you want to use then reboot into recovery and you should be able to mount SD now, copy over the rom then factory reset and wipe system and then install rom.
Oh ,CWM recovery isn't support mount USB

You'd better using TWRP recovery,it's prefect..
if you can't mount usb or sdcard then the only fix that doesn't involve using linux hackery is to read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...OW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard
you need to go back to stock recovery wipe sdcard everything your gonna lose everything and then after you successfully get control of sdcard you flash new recovery use twrp (I wouldn't trust cwm if I was paid to) and that's the fix. happy hacking

I think he cant mount SD is because CWM cant do it but TWRP can.
I've been there more than I like to admit..it's what made me vow never to buy htc

If you use cwm recovery, not twrp, then it's normal that you can't mount your sdcard onto your PC over USB. This is not a problem, as long as you can mount your sdcard onto your root filesystem. You can still adb push/pull files to/from the device. If not, you have the 'unmountable sdcard' and you should follow the sticky in Q&A on this issue.
However, it is scary that you can not get into bootloader/fastboot mode. This means you can't change recoveries and, depending on your hboot, change boot images and radios.
Try unplugging the device before you boot into bootloader using the vol-down key. If you have it plugged in, cwm will boot into recovery as soon as you power down.

I must agree with many of the posts here.
Go into fastboot usb, and flash the latest TWRP recovery instead of clockwork mod.
After having gone TWRP, I dont look back. You have many more features than in clockwork, including a USB mount of the internal sd card. You can also use adb tools in twrp too.
After mounting your sdcard, you can then transfer a rom over and then install using twrp too.
If your sd card is corrupted (ie will not mount, cannot access, etc), then you may need to flash the stock recovery and then in the bootloader redo a factory reset. There is a thread about this somewhere, as the stock recovery can reformat your sd card partition if its corrupted or wont mount with other custom recoverys.

Good day everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am in desperate need of your help. I recently purchased a HTC One S from an online store they told me it was new never used locked phone. Turns out phone was rooted, 4g does not work, and it could not recognize e drive, (internal sd card)
After reading the all in one i re-rooted it and install the teamwin version of recovery.
Now i never had any back ups or any factory files. as i got the phone rooted with software that did not work. My phone now has no rom and i cannot install from adb sideloader, or an other means. I am new to this and cannot seem to figure out how to get my phone back to even stock un-rooted etc. I tried multiple forums and download links but nothing.
i was able to install vipers rom at one point but despite several attempts to reinstall. recovery does not see files loaded. which i can see on my mac or pc.
the other strange thing i notice is that at the top in fastboot mode i sometimes see unlocked in pink only and other times i see both unlocked and tampered. when its unlock only none of my computers recognize connection.
I also tried boot.img for flash. The furthest my screen no goes is the htc logo, then goes black.
Please help, even to just point me in rite direction to have this resolved.
the boot.img, did you flash it via fastboot? (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
And, one question that comes to mind... they sold you a device as new, yet it wasnt.. Why didnt you return it?

Yes I tried several times loading the boot.img via fastboot.
As far as returning the device i trashed the mailing box but kept original packaging so no return address. I called the company which i made the purchase from "N1wireless" several times and sent several emails to them. They have yet to reply or answer any of my calls. Which is why I am so frustrated.

Boot into recovery, select mount > mount usb storage. From pc move the Rom.zip to your sd card which should now be showing on your pc. After it is moved to your phone select unmount then press home button in twrp recovery. Then install the Rom. After install open up adb and type adb reboot bootloader then press enter. Now fastboot flash the boot img from inside the Rom.zip on your computer. After that reboot your phone and report back

Hi, thanks for the reply, thats just the thing I cannot in recovery install any rom loaded to sd card. It fails. I tried reinstalling the recovery and it still not reading my sd card.
So my guess is i need a new twrc or how to do it from my mac, as now when i try on my pc it is failing as-well. Once I get the recovery to work I will try your other suggestions as I think it will work based on the steps you mentioned.
I am trying to figure out how to use terminal to reinstall recovery. any suggestions or links will be greatly appreciated.:good:
you install recoveries through fastboot, fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

I reinstalled recovery several times now and it wont recognize the sd card. is there another recovery i can download and use? Also is there any instructions for a newby to use terminal to re-boot, everything from scratch. Meaning if the phone is completely blank except the fast boot and a recovery manager no backups or stock kernel etc. what is the format to be used in order for the computer and recovery to recognize the sd card?
I think I need a good recovery rom like cmod if there is one for the htc one s or the stock one if someone has it.
hi i had that problem

I had that problem the sd card would not be seen by my laptop and the phone would not boot at all if you plug in the phone to your go to start and then computer right click on your c drive go to manage and see if you can see it there if so try to format it and then reboot the phone if it works you can then install cwm as a recovery system then you can put what rom you wont on it i am use in zenRom 1.05 and to me its the best coz it like the htc rom that the phone come with if that don`t work let me know coz i have more tricks to try i hope this helps you out.
Theres only TWRP and CWM for the S afaik, and CWM sucks. TWRP is the one to use.
I had a similar problem a few days ago, luckily there's not such a bad solution.
1) Pick a custom ROM you want to install from the HTC One S developer forums (I went with Trickdroid) and download the ROM/boot image.
2) Then download and flash the stock recovery here: http://www.4shared.com/file/1UuxTh0k/stock_recovery.html
3) Boot into bootloader, clear storage and then reset to factory defaults.
4) Flash TWRP
5) Reboot into recovery, sdcard should now be mounted/visible
Then push the ROM to your sdcard with adb or mount USB storage and flash it/flash the boot image and you should be sorted.

got it. will try it asap.
I could not get the stock recovery via that link you provided. If there is another link to the stock I would appreciate it. I had to flash it wit cwm twice then reflash with twrc to get it to identify the sd card. i had tried the viper rom but my 4g and wifi doesnt work. Will try trickmod hopefully that works with no more issues

Hey thanks allot for your suggestions. I made some progress. It kinda worked. However I my wifi and data connections no good. I tried the 9.1 update and then tried the tweaks.
Do you know if it is possible to get stock kernel and stock rome to undo changes on device?
Hi! I have One S rooted and custom ROM PACman flashed. I used clockwork recovery.
Today, I tried to flash a kernel named Bulletproof. I used CW to flash it. After flashing, my phone is not starting, It has gone into recovery loop. If by using the volume button I go to hboot and then to recovery, to reinstall the ROM, it stays in CW for just few seconds and then restarts again. If I try to perfom some actions, it says SD card not mounted.
Need help please ASAP!
Regards,
Mohib

Go into Fastboot USB and flash the stock recovery - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/92451927/STOCKS4.img
Then boot into bootloader, click recovery, this should fix the unmountable SD Card bug.
Then when the phone attempts to boot, soft rest the phone then load into bootloader. Click on fastboot and when it says fastboot USB flash TWRP 2.3.3.0.
Reboot the phone.

Ok I did this and flashed TWRP. It didn't work, so I flashed CW again. It rebooted. It showed the bootscreen of PACman and then rebooted to recovery. I then tried to install zip from the SD, but it said can't mount sdcard!
Whats going wrong?? Any suggestions?
Reinstall the stock recovery and then click Clear Storage on the boot loader screen. You will lose everything on your SD card. Then repeat the rest of the above process as normal. I can't remember if I said to flash the boot.img before installing the OS, but if you didn't flash the boot.img before installing the OS then do that.

Oh thank god its done!!
I cleared the storage and reflashed the recovery and boot.img. But the phone didn't start. So I went to recovery to "install from sd", but it said that there are no files (as I had cleared the storage). Then I got the idea to mount it as USB from the mount menu in CW. It worked and I copied the ROM to SD card and installed it from the recovery. Now my phone is alive again!!
Thanks for you help!
i was trying to root my phone and install twrp in it. Then twrp came on screen then i wiped the data and copied one rom in internal storage and tried to flash it but it got into error.

Now i don't knw what to do. Please help

Have you enable mtp ?
Twrp recovery is best recovery use it
Download twrp.img from official site
Flash it through your present recovery.
After it format everything data, internal storage,dalvik, cache.
Reboot twrp
Install any custom ROM.
Enjoy

You got a option in recovery to enable mtp
If you select keep read only partition them you can only read you can't format or write anything.
When TWRP starts it shows this option Keep read only partition. Many of guys check this and swipe.so they have problems to flash and wipe anything.
Connect a mmc using card reader with PC.
Copy custom ROM
Select install
Select mmc
Select file
Wait for process done
Wipe dalvik,cache
Reboot phone.
Done

Download a ROM, put it on a USB drive, use an adapter to convert USB to microUSB or USBC(whichever your device uses), connect the USB to your device, boot into TWRP, choose the Install option, when you get to where you choose your files, find the USB drive and flash your ROM.

Hi
Thanks for the suggestion.
I just want to know something.
I transferred the rom zip file to my phone as u said and i can also see it in internal storage.Am also able to flash it
The whole story is like i first unlocked my bootloader and then installed the custom recovery...I have heard thatto install a custom rom, u require root
But in the case i did not perform any root.So is it ok to flash the rom+it shows failed to clear cache and failed to mount /product errors highlighted in red colour.
Pls advice <3

No, root is not required to flash a ROM, all that is required is an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery.
I suggest you start over by flashing the exact same stock firmware version that you had before modified the device to fix the errors, then unlock the bootloader again(if flashing the firmware locks the bootloader again), then flash TWRP again, download your ROM and place it in your internal storage, flash the ROM but do not wipe anything until after you have flashed the ROM, after flashing the ROM, factory reset the device and wipe cache and dalvik cache(but not system and not internal storage) then reboot the device.
