* Apologies; Had posted this query accidentally in the One S thread section.. sorry for that.
Repost..
Disclaimer: I am a noob! Wont understand jargon.
I tried rooting my HTC device and went through all the instructions as given by an youtube video. 'HTC One X - Root (in-depth)' by 'itvraag'
I guess the recovery mode used there and the one i tried was CWRM recovery.
(I understand no links allowed till 10 posts but this might be an emergency! )
I am stuck at the Recovery section and am unable to get beyond the Recovery mode (screen).
I tried to do both i.e. the Fastboot to flash a custom recovery and again into the recovery mode. I get the same HTC screen and am unable to go further
The video says the next step is installing from the .zip file which I have downloaded onto my sd card.
I have got a bootloader screen which says 'Tampered' at the top. So, I guess, its not yet rooted?
I would appreciate solutions.
Thank you!
p.s. The phone restarts in the normal At&T mode when done so and hence, its working as in stock.
I would be interested in rooting the phone.
Do you have an att one x or an international one?
Oh I see you said att. YOU ALMOST BRICKED YOUR PHONE. YOUTUBE VIDEOS ARE NOT HELPFUL.
cwm can and will brick your phone on this device. You need twrp recovery.

If you can't understand the 'jargon' you have no business tinkering with this phone.

Well here is the problem i have with the HTC ONE SV LTE which i received today. (If possible i could do with some urgent help !!!!)
I have unlocked the bootloader for this htc and not thinking i flashed CWM Recovery to the phone without banking up my stock recovery (yes i know very stupid). I then tried to root the phone with a root programme and this rebooted the phone. Once loaded the taskbar and settings work but nothing else (including the main menu, lockscreen or anything else for that matter).
Anyway i tried to master reset the phone through both settings and my CWM custom recovery which is when i come to realise the up and down buttons work on the recovery but the power button doesnt select anything so i cant master reset the phone at all.
If anyone knows a place i can get a flashable stock recovery for the HTC ONE SV LTE please tell me, ive searched everywhere and just cannot find one that works.
Even better if someone could develop or point me in the direction of a fully working custom recovery i can flash to my phone i would be very happy
Very many thanks !!!!!
You could try downloading fxp kernel for your device and then installing cm through cwm in it(try lupus kernel if it's available for your device)
If nothing works, (please confirm this before using) try downloading the stock ftf file for your device and flashing it via pc.
Edit: tried a quick search of xda from mobile, didn't get anything useful. Try googling

Hello Acalvert2012,
I had the same problem as you. But after tinkering for half a day, I figured out how to restore the phone.
Download the stock recovery from here
Got to fastboot and flash the stock recovery
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img
Lock you bootloader from fastboot.
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Now go to bootloader and select factory reset

witch one do i choose?
That's my first post here in the One S forum and, unfortunately, not a happy one.
I used to have fun with modding a long time ago, with the HTC Desire, but when I bought the One S, I didn't even root it, until yesterday.
To unlock the bootloader and install the TWRP recovery I used the All-in-One toolkit; then I installed a MIUI v5 porting and updated to the latest version.
Not satisfied with it, this morning I decided to try Sense 5 with TrickDroid 10.3.2: I did a TWRP backup, wiped the necessary and installed the zip.
Now the phone is in an infinite loop.. that would be ok, but I can't get to fastboot or recovery.
The problem is that even before I wasn't able to get to fastboot with the button combo (even if I disabled fastboot in MIUI settings), and to access the recovery I used the command provided in the All-in-One toolkit.
I'm not able to use the All-in-One toolkit since the device can't be found while turning on.
So now I'm here with my phone vibrating every 30 seconds or so and that's a bit frustrating...
Do any of you know what to do?
If you need any further information just ask, and sorry for my English, I hope everything is clear.
Thank you in advance
Francesco
P.S.: It is the S4 version.

I'm now having the same problem: exactly I forgot to flash boot.img after flashing the rom, and my HTC One S now seems to be bricked.
Yesterday I could turn it on and go into HBOOT, but when I chose Recovery or Factory Reset it rebooted and after the HTC logo, a warning logo appeared. Now I cannot do anything with this.
Can you pls give me some advise or how I can fix this problem? Many thanks!:good:

That is not a brick lol :laugh:
That warning logo isn't a big deal. Everyone who has unlocked their bootloader gets it. And seems like you have erased your recovery by selecting "Factory Reset".
1. Download All-In-One Tool kit for HTC One S from the Development forum.
2. Flash a custom recovery. TWRP recommended.
3. Boot into recovery, mount sd card, copy your rom.
4. Flash your ROM.
5. Boot into fastboot
6. flash boot.img
7. Restart :good:

Did you try to remove the SIM card? Mine was stuck in bootloop and only way it worked for me was to remove SIM card, press power button for 10 or more seconds and it eventually booted into bootloader. hope it work for you...
I followed all the steps n read many threads to rooting HOX +, i unlocked the bootloader, flashed CWM Custom recovery, everything looked fine on the Windows Command window, after flashing, the phone is still on (isnt it supposed to restart?) and nothing changes, i reboot the bootloader, go to recovery, the phone just opens the HTC logo window n then turns off.
note: the phone is supposed to change to Endeavoru, but it still says ENRCU2...etc.
Please help.

Friend was flashing some roms, something bad happened, and we are now installing RUU through the fastboot. About halfway into it, we get an error that it is out of memory. How can I delete files off the phone if the only phone menu that is woworkings the oem HTC logo screen? Or any other way around it?
Here is a link to a picture that I took. http://imgur.com/7mmVGcR
I'm the friend. This was resolved using the following.
Found this link to HTC One M8 Stock Recovery
allowed me to download the verizon version of HTC One M8 Stock recovery...
Using command prompt and the command
fastboot flash recovery vzw_m8_stock_recovery.img
The phone then rebooted back to stock while keeping s-off and root..
This is my first time having a rooted phone and I believe I installed a GSM rom and threw my phone for a loop causing all the data to delete and format the whole device. All that was left was TWRP.
Anyway this is now resovled.

That's your pc out of memory. Can you try ruu via SD card? Option two on my page
So I went to update my Life One XL and it completely wiped the whole OS. I'm looking for a way to load a ROM on it or how to fix it. I can still access the restore menu (volume up & pwr) but that's it. Thanks again for your guys' help.
well it happens.... what recovery are you running E3 or TWRP......? What build was on it? not that any of it really matters....
I have backup files I just post yesterday. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=69002072&postcount=9

Hi!
My problem is that form some reason, my phone boots to bootloader. It gets stuck at the boot logo. I realized it is bootloader because when I connect to the computer and run fastboot devices, this device ID appears there. I am able to boot to recovery and tried to do a factory reset. But the phone does the same. Is there a way to flash from here?
