So I think I made some mistakes upgrading to Cyanogenmod 10.1 -- here's what I did:
I used Hasoon2000's HTC One X All-in-One Kit to unlock my bootloader via the xfactor exploit and the HTCDev method. Then I flashed a custom kernel and cyanogenmod 10.1. It's very buggy, reboots constantly, disconnects from AT&T's data network on a whim, etc. Someone suggested that the problem was that I didn't upgrade my hboot first. I'm currently on hboot 1.14, and after running the all-in-one kit, I now have supercid.
After that, I got the bright idea that maybe I could upgrade to a jelly bean firmware (hboot) after the fact. I followed a guide for upgrading hboot at guidingtech.com. Of course, since my cid is now 11111111, I couldn't verify that my cid was correct, but being a noob, I decided to try anyway. I got through to this command: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip, but that failed. I couldn't flash the new firmware. So I though, "Oh well, I'll just keep using my phone as is until I can figure out how to get back to stock." But then I got stuck in a boot loop where all I could do was get back to the bootloader. I used hasoon's kit to force my phone into recovery to try wiping dalvik/cache. I managed after some finagling to boot back into my broken cyanogen 10.1, but now that phone can't access internal storage. So I can't easily just flash a new rom. I suspect the internal storage is corrupted?
I know many of these questions have been answered piece-by-piece, but I don't know how all of these actions combine. Is it easy to get back to stock now? Can I use an RUU to do so? Can I use an RUU with supercid? Any help would be appreciated.

Never even heard of that website. Where did you dig that up? I'd caution against using guides and mods from random websites. At a minimum, other websites are often poorly organized, and might get you installing a mod for the quad core One X, which may lead to a brick. Lots of websites just steal content from XDA, anyway. All you need is here, so may as well get it straight from the source.
I'll agree that you probably did a lot of needless, and possibly dangerous steps. I don't recommend trying anything else, unless an experienced user here tells you to do it. Playing with a smartphone is not a trial-and-error activity for n00bs.
Sounds like you corrupted your SD card by trying to do a factory reset in hboot. You should be able to connect the phone to a PC, go to Device Manager, and it should give you the option to format the SD. Format it FAT32, and that particular issue should be resolved.
Can you get into recovery?
What hboot version does it say you are on now?
What kernel did you try to flash? I would have just tried to revert to the stock CM10 before you did all this other stuff. I don't think what you were experiencing originally was related to hboot version.

I do get prompted to format my drive whenever I plug in my phone. If I format the internal storage will that erase my rom?
I do admit, I'm a total noob, and I should have done a lot more research before messing around with the guts of my phone. I'm on hboot 1.14. I honestly don't know which kernel I tried to flash. My friend suggested to me what I used. It was from an official cyanogenmod guide for flashing 10.1 to my AT&T One X.
Now that I understand how woefully unprepared I was, I'd like to get back to how my phone came out of the box, if that's possible.

No, it just formats the SD partition (think of it as a virtual SD card). Anything that was on it will be gone, but its corrupted anyway, so its already gone. The partition with the ROM will not be formatted, nor will hboot, recovery, or radio partition.
Can you get into recovery? If so, after the SD is formatted, mount the SD memory USB, move the CM 10.1 zip file to the SD. Reflash in TWRP, reboot and see what happens. Don't flash a custom kernel, just use the stock CM10.1 kernel (flashes automatically when you flash the ROM).

Absolutely not. Heck, I'm on hboot 1.09, and running Jellybean without a glitch.
That's why I mentioned, I doubt hboot has anything to do with it, and leave it alone.

Argh, the problems keep mounting. Whenever I plug it in, I can't even access usb storage. I hit "turn on usb storage" and I get a spinning circle. The only way I can mount anything is if I go into TWRP and use the mount menu. And it give me four tick boxes: 1. mount system 2. mount data 3. mount cache and 4. mount sd card.
Unfortunately the only check box I can't check is the sd card. I can mount the other three. And then I get prompted in Windows to format. But in that case, I obviously will format everything I don't want to format. So I feel kinda stuck.
What about using an RUU? Can that help me get back to stock? My ultimate goal is just to go back to stock. Maybe I'll ROM again in the future but right now, I just want my phone back in a fully functional package!
Any other help out there? I can't get anywhere with this problem.

Did you try to format the SD like I previously mentioned? It won't mount in TWRP (or with the phone fully booted) if its still corrupted. It sounds like you just need to format it. Your problems are mounting, its just the same problem as before, that you haven't fixed yet.

I think using the RUU to go back stock is just a lot of extra unnecessary work. You wanted to be rooted and be able to flash custom ROMs to begin with, so let's keep it that way.
I don't think it would be that hard to get up and running again (without running the RUU). You just need to do it right.

It won't read it as an Android device, or it won't read it at all.
Does it still come up as a bulk storage device or something like that?
bump. Any options for me?
Do you know what adb and fastboot is. It sounds like the prob you having is actually simple to fix. You need to make sure twrp is on your device for recovery for starters if not than flash it through fastboot. Make sure you have HTC drivers ok. You can download HTC sync then uninstall it and it will leave drivers on pc or go to HTC website and get them. 1hr of googling and appling what you learn should get you back on track, if not you need to find a mentor to hold your hand and show you, it may seem overwelming but you will get it.

Hello there, I have a htc one xl on At&t rooted... it has the hboot 1.14. Everything was fine until yesterday when I tried to flash AOKP. I used flash image gui to flash the boot.img then rebooted to TWRP and wiped rom, wiped everything, then installed the .zip for the boot.img I flashed... It would say android is upgrading and cycled through all the apps but stopped at starting apps... wouldnt go past it for 6 hours. I rebooted and tried to reflash the boot.img, but computer didnt recognize phone, and TWRP showed there was nothing on the sdcard
Juts mount your sd in recovery and drag a Rom over from your computer

Sounds like the initial problem was just a bad flash/download. It happens.
Try unplugging your phone, shutting down and restarting into bootloader, then hooking it up.
You flashed an incompatible kernel it sounds like.
Make sure you try flashing the kernel within the ROM

Hello everyone! Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the rushed post earlier, was on the way out the door after trying for a while to figure something out. I'd love to send a rom to it, but TWRP shows that I have 0 mb available of storage, and the computer says I must format it to access files or something. I may have forgotten to mention- I think i flashed rohan kernel b6 improperly... used flash image gui then went to recovery and clicked it and hit install ... it hung at installing for a while, and upon reboot the starting apps problem happened, followed by no rom being on there, only being able to access TWRP, and ... well, above things. If I formatted it would I be able to put twrp and everything back on it necessary to make the thing function properly? Orr.... Thanks for any help!
God bless!
P.S. Forgot to add- Not sure why I thought I needed to try to "install" rohan kernel later on in TWRP lol
P.S.S I tried to mount sd card in twrp, nomatter how many times i try to select it it wont work
Yeah just format it and then it'll show up as a drive for you then you can send a rom to it.

I'm sorry- I really don't understand what I'm going to lose if I format, like... apparently all my data is somewhere in the air now lol, but will I not lose any important things the phone needs to run? TWRP? Will the bootloader still be unlocked?
And, if above "issues" aren't "issues", then will the following steps be correct?
1. Send ROM to phone
2. Throw fastboot.exe and adb thing into a folder with the ROM/ boot.img
3. CMD prompt to flash
4. Magic
?
Thanks so much and sorry to be a pain here if this isn't that big of an issue! I was afraid I bricked the thing, but I was holding on to hope that I didn't since it seemed like a good thing that it would still boot to TWRP.
Also- not sure if this is an issue, I tried to hit adb sideload in TWRP just messing around with options, and it said it couldn't mount the SD card.... so.... yeah, is that an issue?
Whatever data you had on the sd card is gone anyway. You need to reformat to use it.
Formatting the sd card won't affect your /system files or recovery, which are stored on a different area, or cause you to lose root.
You guys are awesome. Thanks so much!
And, as you get a lot: Sorry... for being a noob. lol
When trying to restore/unroot my One S something bad happened. I'm not sure, but I or the program I tried to use somehow erased the memory and completely removed the phone OS. What should I do to get my phone back to life?
EDIT:
My phone is back to life!
The solution that worked was a mixture of a few previously posted on xda.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android#ROM_Flashing
Under ROM flashing I did steps 4-7 and then flashed the boot.img for my chosen Rom(Currently UTB: http://www.connect-utb.com/utb-rom-for-the-htc-one-s/) via CMD. Then I powered down, waited for a bit, and started the phone again. The phone finally worked as it was supposed, I got past boot image and entered the normal phone configuration.
The reason I chose UTB Rom was because someone else have had positive results with this Rom
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25557817#post25850720 post #8),
which also proved correctly for me as I tried to install another Rom without success just a few mins later. (To get it to work again I followed my own instructions above, and it worked)
Thanks for your help! And I hope this solution will guide and help others with similar problem in the future!

Hello,
If you can get to the bootloader then you should relock it and flash the RUU for your phone. That will return it to stock and you can reroot or do whatever.
Rsotbiemrptson
You could also just reflash the ROM of your choice by going into TWRP custom recovery, mounting your sd card and copying the ROM over.
Then flash the ROM, and dont forget to also fastboot the relevant boot.img for that rom.
TWRP recovery is better than CW as it does allow you to mount your sd card. So download TWRP (google it) and fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
then load the recovery then mount sd card. You should be good to go from there, unless your SD Card is corrupted. If that is the case, then check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086156

In twrp, if you click "restore" does it list anything on either internal or external memory? If so, just restore it and don't update.

It just means the SYSTEM was wiped. Just download a small ROM like CM10.1 and flash it. Reboot.
Have had this happen a lot. For a fast fix You will have to load ROM on the external SD card, then when you flash it check the directory where the ROM is stored on the external SD and flash it. Reboot. No need to flash gapps if you don't plan on keeping that ROM.
If you plan on keeping it just download the ROM you want and flash.

Ok so this just happened to me and I turned to this awesome site for help. I had switched from CWM to TWRP and installed the img file, when it rebooted into recovery it told me there was no OS installed. I flashed the above referenced file with Odin... when it rebooted though, I had everything I thought I had lost. No stock rom, it was still running cm10 with all my apps and themes, everything.
I'm confused. I'm not a total newbie to this kind of stuff, but I'm by far no expert. I'm just curious if TWRP didn't recogonize anything so it assumed there was no OS installed?
Easy way around this. Happens to me all the time
what you are gonna have to do it download a compatible rom from your computer to a micro sd card. Put the micro sd card in your phone. Go into twrp and select the rom and flash from external sd.
I tried to install the Maximus ROM from the dev thread, everything was fine until I had to flash the firmware and the recovery. After that, the phone restarted but was stuck at the loading screen, hence I could not mount the sdcard and transfer the ROM into it.
After that, I could not mound the sd card from recovery. I've tried numerous stuff, notably, flashing the stock recovery, clear storage, factory reset and then reinstalled a custom recovery and I still get a problem. Either I get a 0mb sd card in recovery or a 48mb but in both cases, there's errors while mounting them.
I'm not sure exactly how I could fix this problem now, I have read that the easiest is to flash an RUU but I have never did that and I'm not sure if my current setup is compatible with my RUU (which is Rogers).
Since I'm superCID, can I flash any RUU? If so, which one should I flash?
With supercid you can't flash OTA ZIP, you get bricked device.

Also, no where on the thread of Maximus does it state that you can't mount in recovery and have to use sideload to make it work. Kind of confusing IMO as my device was not mounting anyway after the boot.

Hi,
I had a similar issue.. I followed a tutorial on YouTube and the guy forgot to mention that the ROM needs to be on the SD before rooting.
And my device was not reconised by my computer (win 7).
I messed around with a few recovery's.. turned out i was using a older version and after flashing about 3 recovery's my computer reconised my device when mounting SD card.
Hope this helps.

Okay First I don't whether you have an S3 version (VilleC2) or an S4 version (Ville).
Understand this, when you format SD card using TWRP recovery, you can't mount it. It is because only the Stock HTC recovery is able to format the SD correctly.
What you ought to do now is:
1. Download stock HTC recovery for your phone version, S3 or S4.
2. flash the recovery through Fastboot using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Go to bootloader and select the option to erase Storage; if it's not there, then you will have to select Factory Reset, wiping your data and apps too.

Just use this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471151
It will almost do all things for you, Unlock Bootloader, Flash recovery, Root ...
And remember, if abd console says "error: device not found" or when downloading and fail install "HTC MTP drivers" don't worry, it happened to me too.
Remember, you need flashed Recovery, to be able to Gain Root. And Unlocked Bootloader to flash Recovery.
Now I am back to original stock ROM, rooted.
Windows still not recognizing SD card after mount. it gives option to mount internal_sd, but folder that sd is located is called 'sdcard'? I flashed stock recovery, clear storage, then factory reset, then root, then flash twrp.
Even when I put a custom ROM and gapps on the sd through stock ROM, it bootloops after flash. It's like HTC really doesnt want me to appreciate anything other than their crap stock firmware.

Rooting the stock is not necessary flash a custom rom. Most roms that you flash are already rooted and root should be flashed in twrp if you just want a stock rooted rom
Flash the stock recovery, clear storage and factory reset. Then flash TWRP. If that doesn't boot for some reason you may need to flash the stock ruu.
If you chose to keep the stock firmware, you can download the superuser.apk from the playstore. When you run the app it will give you the option to reboot into TWRP to flash the root automatically.

Rooting the stock is not necessary flash a custom rom. Most roms that you flash are already rooted and root should be flashed in twrp if you just want a stock rooted rom

Even after clear storage, factory reset and TWRP flash I still cannot see the SD card in Windows or install a custom rom without white HTC bootloop. Only way I can mount the SD card is on the stock rom.
Also, Win says SD card is 10GB. Does everything else really use up 6GB?

What CID do you have. Have you matched the RUU with the your CID. If the CID's don't match it will give you and error and not flash. If you are SuperCID you can flash any RUU but with a stock CID you need the RUU that matches it.

I already flashed RUU. I can't flash a custom ROM.
