Need more info. What ROM.....S-on, S-Off......what recovery......you know. As much of a description of what you're working with as you can think of. How are you flashing, what had you done right before this happened if anything, etc., etc......

Have you by any chance tried out CWM 6.0 and decided to go back to 5.5.0.4? Did you extract the "boot.img" file from the ROM & fastboot flash boot boot.img thru ADB AFTER you flashed your ROM.zip file since you are S-On?

You won't be too happy with 4.0.0.9 if you ever let your phone go COMPLETLY dead. It will brick it.

Hasoon's toolkit is for unlocking, installing CWM & superuser if my memory serves me though. You can flash your ROMs thu recovery (CWM) but with S-On you will have to extract the "boot.img" file and flash it seperately thru ADB because HBoot will stop an unsigned file it sees as a Radio from flashing if S-On.
There ARE a couple of other versions of CWM....5.5.0.4 & 6.0.0.0. (6.0 has some REAL issues though and has bricked several phones so IF you notice it....don't USE it.)
This will explain it much better to you...... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556

is there anything i can do to fix this problem cause i really need the phone
okay just now i flashed cwm ver 5.0.2.7 and before when i had it i had the option (mounts and storage menu)
i formatted the cache/data/sd-ext/system is that what i did wrong?

If you flashed your ROM and then the boot image after you did that it shouldn't be a problem. Did you read the post above yours and answer those question though? Did you check the link I provided and understand fully what it was talking about? That is VERY important.

if you dont you need to do this ASAP because when you are on you have to fastboot .img files to make it work im not too familiar as i am s-off. follow my first link to set up adb and fastboot then go to the link weekend posted. (which is stickied in the development section).

Move your ROM.zip file to the root directory of your phone first. Then put the boot.img file in the root directory of your computer since it's already in the windows path. that's " C:\ " Since you already have Hasoon's toolkit installed we'll use that instead of putting you thru the ADB installation right now for time & simplicity's sake.
Go to Windows Explorer & navigate to the folder you have his toolkit in and copy the name of the folder down EXACTLY. Then you can pull up your command prompt window again. When it initiates it will say C:\ sumpthin....sumpthin...sumpthin. From there type CD\ and it will "change directory" back to C:\ THEN you can type cd\ "whatever you named the folder that has Hasoon's toolkit in it".
That will take you to that folder just like explorer will do. Just let it sit there for a second.
On your phone in Recovery you wipe user data/ factory reset 3 times then you can....
Wipe cache 3 times and toggle down to "Advanced"
That will take you to another screen where you will see "Dalvik Cache"
Wipe that 3 times as well.
Then hit "Go back" & return to the previous screen & select "install zip from SD card"
Once complete leave your phone sitting & still plugged in to the usb
NOW....go back to your computer and type....
reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot reboot
Once your phone reboots, leave it alone for 5 minutes to let everything settle in and you should be "good to go".

Assistance with Flashing roms please.

My boot loader and phone is rooted.
AT&T Htc one X
I have tried to flash a couple roms + the boot.img but the device pauses at HTC splash screen (I DID clear caches)
but its constant and I have to go into Fastboot-Usb and reinstall the RUU in order to try again.
Does anyone have any ideas?

ok. i'm not gonna beg if you want help I need DETAILS not vague s***t like "TWRP or whatever".. So evidently you can boot into recovery with no problem. What rom are you trying to flash ? You need to extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and flash that in fastboot and then flash the rom.zip in recovery.
If you're not booting it's most likely because your phone is not finding a kernel (boot.img)
So more details or more reading
Good luck to you

Its not a good idea to ask for help and then flame. Honestly what was hard about posting this the first time? I thought maybe English wasn't your language or something. How could you flash a recovery before unlocking???
If you wiped everything, you should reflash bootimage in adb. Then flash your ROM. Please be nice.

OK, I rooted my phone and everything tonight. It went perfect. Until I tried to flash the ViperX on my device. Now I am in a boot loop. Well I booted into recovery and my sdcard is completly wiped, No operating system what so ever on my phone. I can get to the boot loader screen and that is all. Can I save my phone or do I have to smash it and do a warranty claim? I downloaded the stock ruu and it fails halfway thru the install. It says Error: 155 Ant ideas what I can do?

You can try downloading a Rom with aroma installer like Scotts Clean Rom. Put zip on phone in download folder and flash with twrp. If you have hboot 1.14 make sure you get the right one so you don't have to flash boot image via gui.

Find a rom with aroma installer for hboot 1.14. Download and place zip file in sd downloads. Reboot into recovery and use twrp to flash the zip. Reboot and aroma should start. It will guide you through.

TWRP is recovery. You don't need to flash a recovery.
Also, you are not even remotely bricked. If the screen turn on, the phone is not bricked, and is usually easily recoverable. Not knowing what to do is not being "bricked" or "partially bricked". It just means you need to read more.
You may just need to flash boot.img using fastboot. ViperXL is supposed to flash boot.img within the AROMA installer (even on hboot 1.14), but it doesn't always work for everyone.
Also, be sure to factory reset (within TWRP, not in hboot) and also wipe Dalvik and cache (also in TWRP) before installing the any new ROM, as failure to do so can also result in bootloops. Don't ever factory reset in hboot, since it will corrupt the SD card, and you will have to reformat using your computer if that happens.
No offense, but it seems you lack some understanding of basic concepts (what recovery is, how to run RUU), and it would probably be a good idea to read and learn more before flashing anymore ROMs or doing any more mods. Failure to fully understand the things you are doing to your phone can result in a real brick (which you do not have).

I stayed up till late this morning trying to help him and last I heard he installed a Rom without flashing g apps package. I have tried to correct the issue but have not heard anything else. Please take the time to research what you are doing before flashing a Rom. Soft bricks are really tricky.

I know the ViperXL 3.1.0 will install with aroma on hboot 1.14. Any newer version will need to a flash boot image using fastboot or gui just to be safe.

Are you using TWRP or CWM as your recovery?

twrp

You will not be able to flash any custom roms as long as your bootloader is locked. The most you can do with the locked bootloader is use an RUU to get back to stock. Which bootloader are you on now? 1.14?

my bootloader is unlocked at this moment. um would my bootloader be where it says.. hboot? if so its 2.13.0000?

Correct, the bootloader is an all white screen, with the radio, hboot and other such info at the top of it. Well you are good then. Just so we are clear you have a HTC One S S4 right, you dont have a HTC One S C2? Thats very important that we get that info correct, we don't want to brick your device.

im almost certain its a s4.. i got it from t mobile here in the uk any check i can do from the bootloader to confirm?

If you're not S-off, did you make sure to fastboot flash the kernel after flashing rom in recovery?
From my Evo LTE, yup.

im s-on, and no i dont believe i did no

how would i go about fixing that?

You should have read and followed the instructions in the OP of the rom you downloaded so.
Try flashing boot.img in fastboot mode with typing 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' in terminal window. Hope you're familiar with the platform-tools in android development kit...
Else download here and
follow the step by step instructions.

reboot into bootloader with your phone connected to you pc. make sure you are in Fasboot USB mode, it should say that in the bootloader screen. Move the boot.img from whatever rom you flashed and put it in the same directory as ADB and Fastboot. make sure its named boot.img. open a command prompt that points at that same directory as ADB and Fastboot, type
fasboot flash boot boot.img

and after its done type

have tried that and still get stuck on the white htc screen saying this build is for development purposes....
thanks for trying so far

Is it still locked? And you're on custom recovery (twrp)?

You need to reflash the ROM you want. Then reboot into the boot loader from TWRP. Once there, follow my previous instructions.

Thats's already half the way. Please do what impostle says (reflash, reboot, etc.)

Is the ROM not on your phone anymore? If not, just mount from TWRP and copy over.

You guys need to start reading the whole guide before rooting and flashing.

twrp - mount - mount usb storage
Then copy that file to root or wherever you want.
Which TD version do you have?

[Q] Need help fixing TWRP

Hey guys,
i flashed Paranoid Android and gApps last night, and it froze during the loading screen. I went back to recovery, and i could not install anything from TWRP. It showed no files, and my phone said there was no OS installed. My computer would not read my phone after this. I am on a Windows XP machine right now because i normally use a Mac but i cant flash images through that.
How do i fix this? and this is my first rom flash, so i would appreciate all the help!
Thanks!
Ill try to post pictures later, but they will be images taken from an iphone. I just want to get back to ParanoidAndroid!

Not enough information. When you plug your phone in does it ask you to format it? Can you still get to twrp? Where did you get the paranoid android from?

I got it from an xda link. I don't have it cuz I'm on my fiancés iPhone four. It can get into twrp but It shows no files when I try to install. And I I plug in to the computer it just makes noise and goes to htc screen with red lettering.

You probably just did this:

That's amazingly vague. What area51avenger is trying to figure out, is if you tried flashing a ROM meant for the quad core version of the One X (code named Endeavoru), which can be real bad news. If you can figure out what you flashed, and tell us, it would be helpful.
But the fact your screen still comes on is good news. Try to format the SD, and you might have to install TWRP again, but I don't think it will be that hard to get you fixed.

It was a file named pa-evita.zip from xda somewhere. I am jut trying to figure out how to get twrp to reinstall it. Since nothing shows up now.

That's good news. Its the proper version of PA for our phone (EVITA) rather than the quad core varian (EVDEAVORU).

I'd try to reformat SD first, as already mentioned.
If that doesn't work, you can re-install TWRP a couple ways:
1) Flash using fastboot. You will find a fastboot flashable version if you search the TWRP thread (posted by another user). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677447
2) Use the All-In-One Toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1952426

And the original cause of all this may be very simple: you may have forgotten to flash boot.img using fastboot, after flashing Paranoid Android. This is mandatory if you are hboot 1.14 or higher, and S-On.
When the phone failed to boot, did you go into hboot and do a factory reset?

Well, update. I am trying to mount my phone to my windows xp machine, and i cannot get it to read. I can get to device manager, but I cannot figure out how to format sd. I know I am probably being a noob about this, I just want this to get solved. Help!

Ok good news. I have it formatted. What is my next step?

1. Install TWRP - You can find the lastest version here
Once you've downloaded it put it in your adb/fastboot folder. In your adb/fastboot folder shift + right click > open command window here.
Type, adb reboot bootloader, enter. Now that your phone is in the bootloader and says FASTBOOT USB.
Type in the cmd that is open, fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.2.0-evita.img, enter. This should install the newest TWRP recovery.
2. Now make sure that pa-evita.zip and a copy of the boot.img from the zip as well as the gapps.zip for the rom is in your adb/fastboot flolder.
type in cmd, fastboot flash boot boot.img, enter. Now on your phone goto BOOTLOADER and hit the power button, scroll down to RECOVERY and hit the power button again rebooting your phone into TWRP recovery.
type in cmd, adb push pa-evita.zip /sdcard/TRWP, enter
type in cmd, adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/TRWP, enter
3. From TWRP.
Install > navigate to the sdcard/TWRP > pa-evita.zip > Swipe to confirm Flash > Wipe Cache & Dalvik > Back > Home
Install > navigate to the sdcard/TWRP > gapps.zip > Swipe to confirm Flash > Wipe Cache & Dalvik > Back > Reboot System.
All the bold adb and fastboot commands are copy paste-able but make sure the file names are correct
