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
fasboot erase cache

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.

it says unlocked at the top of the bootloader screen... and i have twrp installed yes

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

how can i get the rom onto my phone now that i cant access the phones internal folders?

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] Help!! Strange problem with desire s

Hi all. I'm new in the forum and i found something really strange with my phone. my desire s is unlocked from htcdev and rooted using super one click.
The strange thing is that i'm not able to flash something like cwm or a boot.img from the phone itself. i can just flash them from pc using fastboot method everytime. i've installed several roms but i can't boot them up because of this problem. Also i tried to flash cwm from rom manager and it said that cwm is installed successfully; but i couldn't get in the cwm.
Now i need some help with this problem. How can i flash my phone without fastboot method? Thanks so much!!

Do not unlock with HTCDev.com
Downgrade and S-OFF instead - there are 2 guides in the Index
thanks. but is it normal that i'm not being able to flash boot.img from the phone itself with using htcdev method? sorry for being a noob.

The HTCDev unlocks the system, boot (kernel) and recovery partitions for custom modifications. S-ON means that your Radio and Bootloader (hboot) partitions remain locked/secured. But when in recovery (when flashing a ROM) or OS mode the kernel partition remain locked. Boot (kernel) is unlocked only when the phone is in bootloader. Then you can use the fastboot flash command to write on it.
This is wise IMO, because is preventing the people that are not familiar with the details to play. So only the ones that know what means partition, kernel, security flag, etc. to use this method. Or the ones that are reading this forum
ok. i want to ask one more question: Will something happen in the future if i flash boot.imgs and any other thing using the fastboot method?

Successful root and unlock, can't get past splash screen :( Help

Apologies in advance if this is the wrong forum.
Today I successfully perm rooted my Doubleshot...
Then I tried to flash CM9 Alpha 5 using CW recovery.. downloaded the .zip...
Flashed it.. hit reboot... and it wont get past the mytouch splash screen.
I've tried flashing other roms, and other alphas.. but they all don't reboot into the rom.
I can still boot into recovery and get into ClockWork..
Any ideas on what I can flash or do to at least get any rom running on here... I'm not even picky at this point... I just wanted something like CM7 or some AOSP.
Thanks in advance.

1) This goes in General. I don't know why the mods can't just add a Q&A board to remove the n00b confusion.
2) Fastboot the ROM's boot.img before booting up.

Did you not read the stickies?
You have to take the bootimage from the rom that you are using and put in a folder and name it so you can reconize it. You follow the command prompt instructions they give in this thread. You have to have some knowlege of a PC in order to be successful. I had the same problems as you did. You can get it to work... Do you know how to use the command prompt for your PC?

Last question before I fastboot, is it necessary to have the SDK or ADB to fastboot? Can I fastboot/flash the kernel using Hasoon's all-in-one-kit (the app I used to attain root)? Or is it too late since now the device wont boot and Hasoon "can't find the device"?
I have the boot.img I want in a place where I can locate it. Can I use the command prompt without the SDK/ADB?
Interestingly enough I was able to mount using recovery, and boot a new kernal... phone won't boot but at least it's stuck at a different splash screen lol "mikroms"..
I'm calling this progress.
*UPDATE*
Ok, got it!
I mounted the phone to my computer using recovery and used the Hasoon kit to flash the CM boot image.. then I rebooted and got the mikroms splash screen. That was because the last zip i flashed wasn't CM.. it was the MikRom..
so I went back into recovery, flashed CM.. now I'm good!

Of course not. 'Fastboot' is an 'ADB' command. BUT if Hasoon's tool 'can't find device'....that's an ADB error message and you probably don't have all the drivers installed that you need but he has the necessary files included for what you need for 'Unlocked" & recovering from a mess-up. You may as well go ahead & install ADB tho....you'll eventually need it.

I believe what you did is 'Flash' a ROM from MikROMs but the kernel didn't go because you have S-On. Take that same '.zip' you just flashed, look inside it and put the file named 'boot.img' where you can find it in the windows 'path' and THEN
'fastboot flash boot boot.img' http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556
You should boot up fine then.

Make sure you are not plugged into your pc when you boot to recovery! - if that doesn't solve it ..
Does the phone boot to the existing Rom, do you have Rom manager installed? - if so update the recovery from Rom Manager. I found that after rooting the One S using the toolkit I could not get in to recovery, the update from Rom Manager sorted it!
All the best :good:

Had same issue with the tool kit, the cwm didnt stick. The Touch work one did stick and I was able to get into recovery. However I downloaded the app ROM MANAGER and flashed the recovery from there. Since then I've had no issues booting into reocvery or bootloader. Just download rom manager and go about it that way!

Which recoveries have you tried, and what version of phone do you have (S3 or S4). These must match.
Make sure you bootloader unlocked OK, check in bootloader screen, should say Unlocked.
The problem youre describing sound like when you try to boot after successfully flashing a ROM but forgot to or the kernel failed to flash with it. Only happens when ROM and kernel are mismatched enough that it wont boot, fex flashing CM9 and still on HTC original kernel. Try flashing the kernel from the ROM zip file with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can also try booting a recovery without installing it,
Code:
fastboot boot nameofrecoveryfile.img

If you have working ADB and fastboot working (there is a sticky by user fibsib that explains this) you can make sure your phone isnt really just trying to boot the OS and failing rather than trying to enter recovery with the command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But anyways figure out which version you have before doing anything more, flash the wrong stuff and you could break stuff. There are good info here as to how to see if you have the Ville=Z520e=S4 processor model or the Ville C2/Z560e/S3 processor model.
Then download a recovery for your phone model and install it with this command from your computer
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryyoudownloaded.img
Should work.
have you actually flashed a recovery yet?
which one and how did you do it?
Make sure you have your phone updated to the latest software version before you root. Download system update OTA and click update.
Otherwise you will have issues.
I am rooted T-Mobile phone with original software 1.54 and still can not do recovery or update, it is probably me but it is difficult.
If you are in the US, make sure you use the US version in the development section after you upgrade your phone. Update then try to root it might be easier.

[Q] deleted htc framework file and phone doesnot start

deleted htc framework file and phone doesnot start.
After rooted my htc One X. In the process of removing at&t crap ware I accidentally deleted something that said htc frame work.
From then on my phone would not start. I unlocked my phone as well. How ever I didnot have any custom ROM installed or didnot have any back up done.
When I tried to reboot my phone after deleting the htc frame work file, it would not start. HTC icon would show up and it would not go further.
These are the things I did.
1. I flashed CWM.
2.I flashed TWRP.
3.I finally flashed CWM. 5.8.3
Then I went to fastboot mode and
removed Dalvik Cache, Erased the sd card
and tried to 'mount usb storage' but it would say
"unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)SD card space free:10169MB"
My phone though shows as a removable disk , when i click on the icon it would say " Please insert disk into removable disk." I tried to save a custom ROM on my memory card and flash it but my system doesnot detect my phone.
Can some one please help me?
Thank you.
HTC Framework is part of the OS. You deleted part of the OS.
Install TWRP and mount USB, then load a custom ROM or one of the rooted stock ROMs in the Development forum.
Alternately, relock the bootloader and run the RUU.
Lock bootloader run ruu start over. Next time the very first thing you do is make a nandroid back up.

You mentioned you tried to mount USB using fastboot (I've never mounted USB using fastboot, so I can't comment on that). Try mounting USB within TWRP, and see if that works. FYI, the USB mount feature in CWM does not work, and CWM does not really support our device, and has major issues. That's why its strongly recommended you use TWRP and not CWM.

No, you can only have one recovery. Flash one, you overwrite whatever you had before.

I'd stay away from CWM. I know it used to cause problems, but I don't know if it does anymore.
Most everybody here (in the One XL forums) prefer TWRP anyways.

You must relock your bootloader temporarily or the RUU will fail. As long as you have your unlock token you can re-unlock once you RUU.
When you are in fastboot, type "fastboot oem lock"
Once it's locked, run the RUU.
Once that is done, re-unlock by flashing the token.

This is like the 3rd or 4th thread in the past couple weeks that Gunny or redpoint has told the OP to relock and RUU but they said it wasn't working still. And then I've come in and said they have to relock and the OP hadn't done it yet. So no, apparently people don't read lol.
But in almost every thread things have to be said 2-3 times which is ridiculous

Go in to bootloader. You already said you were able to do that. Hold down the volume key when you boot your phone, go into bootloader, run the fastboot command.

I cannot tell you how great ful Iam to the entire Android community . Thank you very much. problem solved.
This is what I did.
Went into fast boot.
typed fastboot
and typed fastboot oem lock -- to lock the phone.
Then I downloaded a RUU utility and ran it. My phone works superfine now.
Again. Thank You- All I can say.

See that thanks button. Go through this entire thread and press it for everyone who helped you (aka everyone). Especially gunny.
And remember, things that sound important (framework, build., etc...) typically are important random assassinations typically get the shooter in trouble

Maybe he's more a fan of the Butters cartoon character than he is Totoro?

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?

why don't you start by reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957193
If you have ruu'ed you have to root again and unlock your bootloader again.
What recovery did you install ?
My bootloader is unlocked and my phone is rooted*
And I used TWRP or what ever its called. I can root fine and ez from it Trying to get Viperxl

did you flash a recovery yet and if so which one ? if you want help you need to give us some details ?
What rom did you try to flash ? How did you go about it ?
Thank the android gods it wasn't an international ROM.
Did you flash superuser or supersu. We will need a little more information in the steps you've taken. Can you make a list of the steps for us?
The link crappyvate sent is a great tool for help.

Are you flashing the boot image for your ROM in adb?

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

not sure the boot.img was flashed the right way...or in the right place
Calm down trolls I simply said
I flashed TRWP
Flashed Supersu
Flashboot oem unlock (Successful)
Relaunched back into bootloader
I fastboot boot.img
Then to Recovery where I Cleared cache and wiped System.
I then reflashed recovery because i wiped system.
I relaunched back into recovery and flashed rom

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.
