Bricked Phone when trying to flash stock rom - HTC One S

so my phone wouldnt boot up when i tried to restore from by BACKUP.
so i tried flashing a RUU.
while it was flashing i guess something went wrong because it gave me a system error and now when i try to boot my phone it automaticlly goes to CWM.
cant even get into bootloader mode.
and anyone help? :crying:
i have to say this is one of the most frustrating phone i have ever worked with.

First off that's not a brick. If the device won't turn on..ie screen it's a brick.
Have to relock bootloader in order to run an ruu

My phone is Bricked? Help

Guys - I need help. I think i just blew my phone.
I flashed THE Sense-O-Maniac ICE ROM after a clean wife and my phone wouldn't boot. It kept getting stock on the Beats Logo. So I rewiped everything and reflashed this ROM. - Same result.
I then thought, maybe I should also update the firmware, though I am pretty sure, that my firmware was up to date.
So i reflashed the firmware on phone but it still wouldnt boot.
I took the memory card out and deleted the the firmware file so that I could not flash another rom. But when I tried to boot in Recovery my screen just went blank.
JUST BLANK
When I switch my phone on, I get a blank screen. The screen does light up though, but nothing shows.
If i connect the phone to USB, then the screen again lights up, even without the batter.
Has my phone gone poof??? Please help.
clean wife.
and why do u keep reflashing sense o maniac? why not try other rom?
Did you update your kernel or tried to use backup or install just old ROM, so far it doesn't sound bricked but just something missing, what was your previous ROM?

try "adb reboot recovery" continuously when booting the phone, ignoring all of the "error: device not found"
Boot while holding the volume down key (meaning power btn+ vol-). that should take you to the boot loader. once you're there, go to fastboot and flash a recovery image. you seem to have corrupted yours.
I had the same troubles with that rom.

I have already tried this continuously. No result with pressing boot with holding the volume key at all!! If I could do that, I knew i would be fine.

i have been trying to do this for the past 10 mins, but I cant get anything.
All i keep getting is error:device not found.
The computer too does not give any indication of any device being connected to the Usb port..
You should boot into bootloader (vol- & power) then flash a stock gb ruu. After this you can proceed to s-off, root, firmware ... Etc

Sjeez mate, what is your problem?
Posting here and in my thread with the same issue.
Without any detailed issue report.
I offered my help in my thread and tried to contact you for several days now via PM.
So i can help you out of this mess via Talk or IRC.
But if you fail to reply to me which i see as not accepting my help.
Sort it out for your self and going on by nailing me down.
But don't say i didn't want you to help.
With regards,
The cook of this rom who seems to killed his phone.

Please help!

I have the AT&T One X... Ive rooted it, unlocked the bootloader, blah blah blah. Im sort of new at this, so when something happens, Im a little clueless. The point of learning, I suppose. Anyway, today I did a factory reset and restored to my earliest backup. The phone booted originally but then said process.android something or other has stopped working. Phone turned off. Now, when I try to turn it back on, it wont go past the boot animation. Its not connecting to my computer to reboot it with a command, either. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and ASAP.

Did you Factory Reset from inside the ROM? Or from TWRP?

From the ROM. Thats when it told me process.android stopped, then went to the htc one x loading screen.
Frankly, my dear, you ****ed up.
Whenever you want to Wipe ANYTHING you have to do it from your recovery (TWRP).
Boot into TWRP by holding the down volume and power, for what seems like a lifetime and try to restore from there?

I will try this as soon as I get some charge on the battery. Thanks a lot
I finally got to the bootloader! What a relief. Thankfully I work with cell phones, so I had access to this loaner phone so I could find some answers. Maybe one day I'll be able to actually provide some substance! Haha

Now, however, I cant seem to find any ROMs installed on my phone. I know Ive done this somehow before, but how do I get a rom on the phone when the SD card wont mount to my computer?
And when I try to do a factory reset in TWRP it tells me in the dialog: E:Unable to mount /sdcard
Im beginning if this phone and I just werent meant to be. haha
Twrp did the mount thing to me as well. Still plugged USB and PC found the SD anyway. Copied ROM to SD, flash and bingo. Other option is to download the stock RUU.
PS I wouldn't publicly admit u work for at&t. J/k
Well kinda.

My computer still doesnt show any connection to the phone. I tried downloading the RUU and when I ran it on PC, it said it couldnt connect to my phone.
When doing RUU, make sure you relock your bootloader. Instructions here http://www.theandroidsoul.com/how-to-re-lock-htc-one-x-bootloader/
make sure you have HTC Sync and drivers installed if you are flashing RUU.
Also when u get into your bootloader, highlight bootloader and select it. After, right above that, in red it will read fastboot usb. Until then your pc wont recognize it.
It worked! You guys are all awesome!

[Q] Need help with possible hard brick

For starters, if there is already an answer to this question, please point me in the right direction because I have looked all over the forums and cannot find an answer. I was wondering if anyone could help me return my Nexus S 4G back to stock. I was in the middle of using one click stock when my power went out and now my phone just sits at the bootloader saying "fastboot mode-no boot or recovery img" and one click stock does not work.; meaning, it will sit and ask me to put the phone into debugging mode. I have also tried manually flashing the files from fastboot but it sits at sending file but does not flash. Even let it sit at the sending screen for 3 hours but it never flashed.
Maybe a brick. The same thing happened to me once, no img's, fastboot not working and a broken power button. I just got it back from a free repair
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
Well, is your bootloader locked/unlocked? and try to do it manually with fastboot, at least you know that things are done correctly.
unlock bootloader is : fastboot oem unlock
lock is: fastboot oem lock
you could try to switch once and try to push the recovery image so you can flash a new rom.
Thanks for the help. I relocked and unlocked the bootloader and it did the trick. I was able to manually flash everything back to the phone
Glad I could be of help

Random drops to QHSUSB_DLOAD

For about a month now my phone has been randomly restarting into qhsusb_dload.
I flashed the international ICJ, bricked my phone, sent it away for repairs. I sent it to mobiletechvideos, they repaired the brick and gave me s-off.
After the repairs it worked fine for ~1 month.
Now, the phone will almost always boot to qhsusb, though I can get it to boot into the rom/recovery/bootloader.
I've tried changing roms and even hboot versions but I'm too inexperienced to track down the problem.
I'm confused as to your problem... qhusb_dload is a complete brick, yet you say that you can fix it?
Sent from my evita
I'm just as confused as you.
My phone will spontaneously shut down, no lights or anything. When I plug it in and check device manager I see the qhsusb_dload.
But then after I give it some time and fondle the buttons just right it reboots and I'm back to my bootloader.
I can boot into a rom but it usually doesn't last very long (~1hour) before I get a reboot.
The phone isn't always completely bricked...just sometimes?
It is possible to enter that mode without bricking. Typically holding volume up instead of volume down which goes in to recovery, when booting.
How often does it happen?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
It happens about half the time when at boot it and then frequently at rom startup. I've never had any trouble booting into recovery or the bootloader, and it does seem more frequent when the battery is under 40% (but that just may be me.)
I'd say it's down 75% of the time.
Is your phone s-off?
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Yes, but I paid to have it done so I don't know how it was s-offed
So long as its soff in the boot loader that's all that matters. Its a pain in the ass but I would ruu and stay stock to see if it keeps happening.
Sent from my One X using xda app-developers app
Ran the RUU, now my phone won't boot to a rom. I can still get to the bootloader and the recovery though. All I get is a boot loop to the htc white screen if I let it do it's thing.
Ruu and stay stock for a while to see if it keeps happening while stock.

[Q] Stuck in boot loop and bootloader is also in boot loop!????

Ok so about a month ago i bought an htc one mini m4 from att and since i think im pretty well trained on installing custom roms and such i thought i would do this to my htc. Well i did everything like normal flashed twrp and booted into it made a back up and so on and rebooted fine. so the next day i was gonna flash a rom for it i dont remember which one it was. But when i woke up my phone was off so i plugged it in and thats when this started im in a boot loop as far as the splash screen htc logo but when i try to go into fastboot mode about a second or 2 into hboot it boot loops and keeps doing it over and over and over again. I been looking for a way to fix it but i dont see nothing like this and this is a first time for me as far as the bootloader boot loop goes... Does anyone have any knowledge of how to fix this??? i would appreciate any help!!!!!
oh and my hboot is tampered relocked and s on
hboot is 2.22 and os is 3.10
i dont remember locking it back i might have but idk!!!
and i have no factory reset or recovery now to!!!! smh :crying::crying::crying::crying:
Just to confirm, it is rebooting even when you are at the hboot screen?

Do you know anything about this???
I had a boot loop while attempting to install IC 3.0.3 but the hboot screen let me choose the options and stayed there for as long a I wanted.
When you plug it into your PC or laptop can you hear the USB recognised chime for any time?
