That doesn't work I tried that before.
Idk, that was my idea.
So it fails even when you try to wipe, that's interesting (also means my assumption was wrong).

I am having the same issue
hboot1.14.0002
radio 0.19as.32.09.11_2
I am unlocked/tampered but S-on.
I thought I made a back up of CleanRom5 when I first put it on the phone, but alas I find that I didnt.
So I am between roms with s-on. Is there a way to achieve S-off with. I can still get into bootloader, and recovery.

boot to bootloader fastboot flash a 2.3 version of twrp i use 2.3.3.0 boot to recovery mount usb transfer rom to phone flash rom be sure to fastboot flash boot.img reboot
This seems to be a bug with 2.4.x.x versions of TWRP. If you downgrade to an old version, it should be OK, from what I've read.

I installed 2.3.3.0 and the factory reset still failed..?
errors given were E:unable to mount '/sdcard'
did you factory reset from bootloader if so you have corrupted your sd card there is a fix let me find it
I did this and this is what Xsmagical and I did to fix it.
Take the stock android recovery from a ruu or stock Rom. (I used the one from 1.85 ruu but it doesn't matter.)
Fastboot flash the stock recovery to your phone and then reboot into bootloader where you originally wiped.
Factory reset from hboot and then Fastboot flash twrp again, mount sd should be available now. Mount sd, copy whatever Rom onto sd card and flash from there.
Freaked me out too man

Hi all,
Got mine today, tried to install a ROM and it got stuck in bootloop.
I did a number of stupid things not to mention wiping the SD and im in serious trouble.
I can get into bootloader and CWM but thats it.
Ive heard restoring a RUU can cure it but I have a MAC and cant find anything to help.
Can anyone help? Im gutted....and fell like an idiot.
Ive got an S4 on the three network.
Thanks
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then after the touch buttons stop flashing, just hold the volume button and see if ot enters the bootloader.

Specifically you'll have to flash the ROM zip file from the recovery and then use fastboot flash boot boot.img.

Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

See other reply.
I know you have seen this title a lot of times
I have looked for a thread that can help me with this but nothing helps...
Ok so here's what happened:
I had my HTC One X At&t version and everything was fine except i wasnt getting any updates. I was on version 1.73 so I decided to download the RUU for jellybean... it installed the new hboot 2.14 (the original one installed was 1.08). But the installation didnt go through after that.
Then I decided to download the other RUUs for Jellybean but some said that i wasnt charged enough even though i had 100% battery charge...
THEN I downloaded a stock deodexed image, Unlock the bootloader and installed TWRP and then flashed the stock deodexed image on my phone.
Now the phone will not go passed the HTC One splash screen :crying: I have tried wiping cache/ factory reset, and flashing the boot iimg from that deodexed zip
I can still get into fastboot and recovery i guess but not much after that! Can you guys please help me! This is the only phone I had ( just got rid of My nexus4)
Help please!

SOLVED
Alright so i fixed it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1891598
BAsically (Above post) is correct.
Here is what I did:
1) Unlock Bootloader
2) Flash TWRP 3.3.1
3)In TWRP, Wipe EVERYTHING (system, dalvik, cache, everything)
4) In TWRP mount as USB drive ( had to format it on Windows to be able to use it)
5) Move the ROM to your phone's storage
6)Wipe cache,dalvik cache, system, and factory reset (yes again)
7)Flash rom
From here on out i followed this thread's intructions because I was getting a bootloop: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293032
8)If your're s-off or on hboot 1.09 then you can reboot to system. If your're not s-off and have hboot 1.14 or greater go to step 9
9)Reboot to bootloader and select fastboot
10)Open the rom.zip and copy the boot.img to your fastboot directory.
11)Plug phone into computer and verify connection (make sure it says Fastboot USB)
12)Flash boot.img with this command: fastboot flash boot boot.img
13Now you can reboot to system and enjoy the rom.
Now I have a fully stock HTC ONE X (unlocked) on At&t ...with 4.1.1 >>> but these instructions should work for any ROM
Thanks again for your help and concerns!
Thats what I love about XDA, people help you and you learn!
I have been reading for the last couple weeks, thinking I have an answer and end up further into the hole.
Rogers HTC One X / EVITA / HBOOT 2.14. / 2.4 TWRP initially, now 2.6 / Unlocked boot loader / s-on
1. Started trying to flash AOKP 4.2.2. Flashed boot.img, then followed with TWRP recovery. All I could get was the language screen and then it stalled. Tried numerous iterations of this with various wipes and flash first and flash after.
2. Next tried Viper 3.2.7. All good till it gets to startup screen then it stops (I understand Viper has its boot.img installed to start not needing it flashed).
3. While trying various wipes to see if it would install completely I mistakenly did a factory reset! Now no OS! No Nandroid! No ROM.zip!
4. To get a ROM on SDCard tried ADB sideload thru TWRP. after running script it says unable to mount SDCARD! Suggests I reboot system! Now a little leery of rebooting for fear it will not.
5. Also tried to MOUNT HTV via TWRP on to laptop. Did not recognize said ti initialize. Formatted FAT 32 (via MAC). Now will not mount SD Card. I did drop Viper.zip into mount (cache and system OK) but can not find it using FILE MANAGER via TWRP
6. Now am in BOOTLOADER screen of Android. Thought I could flash a ROM but from what I read it does not look possible.
Can any one point me in the right direction to get this thing up and running. At this point, as much as I am learning all the time, it does me no good having my phone down for two weeks (sure glad I kept my Nexus One).
Any answer at this stage is a good answer and I appreciate all input!
Thanks

Sounds like you did a factory reset in bootloader which corrupts the sd card after unlocking the bootloader. You used to be able to just mount it on pc and format it but after the jb update I don't think that's possible due to the drive no longer being a mass storage device but an mtp device instead. There was a method to fix it developed by team nocturnal but it looks like the site is inaccessible right now. I'll see if there's a way to fix it and get back to you. Bear with me.
[/COLOR]By any chance have you tried wiping sd card in twrp 2.6?
Also, have done SuperCID yet?

SuperCID has not been done. It is S-ON presently.
I wiped SD Card as suggested. Saw it set up partitions. And now TWRP shows up when I mount . Can I just drop a ROM in and flash via TWRP? Any suggestions for a ROM. Could not get AOKP 4.2.2 to run or Viper 3.2.7.
Thanks for the quick assist at getting it to MOUNT.
Flash a stock sense rom and then fastboot flash boot boot.img extracted from the rom. Then use jet to downgrade hboot and SuperCID and then s-off. It'll save you lots of headaches.

In twrp 2.6 the factory reset wipes everything except sd card and system. You don't have to wipe system but I always do when I'm flashing a new rom.

What is with you and ADB? With no OS, you can't use ADB.
Extract the boot.img from the rom zip file and put it in your fastboot folder
Mount USB through recovery, copy the rom zip file to your SDcard
wipe cache, dalvik, system
flash rom
reboot to your bootloader/fastboot
plug in your phone
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Should boot and work fine.

so I've got a interesting situation. A friend managed to softbrick his Mini. I don't know how he got it in this state, but, it has TWRP installed, its copy of android does not boot, and it's S-ON. I played with RUUs for a few hours and couldn't get any of them to work. If I can get any working copy of android on it I can then get S-OFF and fix it. As far as I see there's two routes to fix this.
-Get S-OFF without using android
-Get a android ROM on there without S-OFF.
I pretty much have access to fastboot and twrp that can't flash Roms because of s on. Recoveries also have errors about mounting /system or /cache.
Any help in fixing this would be appreciated.

Adding abit more information, I tried using a RUU but get errors because of firmware version. When I get the rom.zip out of the RUU and try to use fastboot to flash it, on windows I get a error about header errors (error 32). On Linux I get errors about the file is too large.
Also, nomatter what recovery I can try, neither can mount either /system or /cache unless you format them, then after a reboot they cant be mounted again.
I had an issue where my os was completely wiped after a botched update attempt. Lol I went through every possible I could think of or find until I see something about using an external drive. So what I did was use fastboot to flash a recovery, which you already have which is good. And then from there I used an OTG cable, and connected my USB drive to it, which had a ROM zip on it and flashed it. It worked. I am bootloader unlocked but not s-off. But as long as you have a recovery you can do this. I actually wasn't even rooted.

You don't need S-OFF to flash roms. As long as you unlocked the bootloader you can fastboot-flash boot, system and recovery. And so you can flash ROMs when in recovery mode.

Well, then it looks like the same issue as in the thread next to this one. So please go over there and perhaps you'll try my next steps written down there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51737651

I followed that and it got me a working recovery, but both twrp versions and the cwm version won't flash the cm zip, regardless if its modified, if I modify it myself or use a attached update-script. Both recoveries simply say "Failed to flash zip".

Then you should repeat the flashing and have a look at the recovery log right after it. At TWRP it's located at /tmp/recovery.log (don't know for CWM).
Either do a
Code:
adb shell cat /tmp/recovery.log
or pull it to your pc:
Code:
adb pull /tmp/recovery.log

Already tried multiple times, of course. I looked at the log and didnt see anything of value though. I can post it if you like.

That's what I recommended in another post:

Meanwhile you could try flashing CM11. There is an edited updater-script and boot.img over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51613028
I used it with cm-11-20140403-NIGHTLY-m4 successfully. Maybe the edited script works with newer versions of the CM nightlies as well, but I didn't test that yet.

This is the 0403 CM11 nightly I modified to match the new partition layout: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5035075/m4kk/cm-11-20140403-NIGHTLY-m4kk.zip
You should be able to flash it with the modified version of TWRP 2.7.0.5
