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".

[Q] Unable to Mount SD/No OS

I am at a loss here...I tried installing a new ROM and flashed the boot.img and everything was going good until I tried to Restore my original ROM and came back with an error that the storage/sd card count not be mounted in TWRP. So, I can get into Recovery and Bootloader, but from there I cant get anywhere because I have no OS installed now, and cannot mount the sd card in Recovery.
This is messy, I dont believe I bricked my phone, but I'm stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Please let me know if you need additional info.

I did this once and had to format sd on my pc in windows then recovery saw my sd
Allso if that don't work u could ruu to stock and start all over

asnolid Leven
Yes, it was helpful in that I have hope. I attempted to install the RUU through the boot loader and came up with an Error boot loader version error. Again, i have an AT&T One XL and I tried to install both the 1.73 and 1.85 RUUs with no luck. It hangs on the signature steps. Any advice? Thank you again, you guys are brilliant!

Never factory reset in bootloader. You need to boot in twrp and mount sd. Right click on removable storage, format sd. Drag Rom onto sd when its done. Extract boot.img on comp and drop it in adb/fastboot folder. Flash entire Rom in twrp. Boot into bootloader immediately. Choose fastboot. Right click adb/fastboot folder, open cmd prompt here.
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Success, reboot system

I'm afraid I am "Relocked" and have a "Security Warning" when in Bootloader. I'll try to mount through Windows and format (assuming FAT32) and see where that takes us. Thank you.

No luck, after trying to install the RUU I have no more TWRP...I'm sorry for all of this, but there has to be a solution, I feel that I'm close and my only option at this point is to completely restore the phone to stock and start over.

Ya with no twrp now your only bet is from a pc that sucks hope u get it ruued wish I could help but I havent used ruu yet

I found a 2.20 RUU and it worked! I'm back at stock soon to unlock and get back to a real android experience! I'm officially a heart attach survivor!

Attack* Gratz, By the way, remember not to flash an international rom for your phone and flash the boot image before installing the rom if on 1.14

Having the same problem, I did do the factory reset from bootloader before reading this and so now can't mount SD, RUU fails, what to do?

Relock the bootloader, or re-install the HTC drivers. Also try a different USB port. RUU fail is almost always one of these reasons (or wrong RUU).
Or just try to plug the phone into your computer and format the SD, as already discussed on this thread.

Of course you have no more TWRP after running the RUU. RUU re-installs stock recovery.

Can I format the SD even if I can't mount the SD? How would I go about doing that? I can mount system or cache... And what should I format as, FAT23 or something else? Thanks in advance.
How could I relock it? ADB doesn't seem to see it.

Even though it can't be mounted, it should still show up in Windows as new hardware. Select it and format it FAT32.

It either sees it or it doesn't. Saying it doesn't "seem" to see it is not helpful. Type "adb devices" (no quotes) and you will either see it listed as an attached device or not.
If it doesn't see the device, you can't relock, and its probably a driver issue. Re-install the HTC drivers, and also try a different USB port.

Will try that and update this. Thanks for the hand up.
Got it running. Thanks a million.

Did u relock boot loader before RUU? As for SD card, format it using a windows PC and hopefully u can see it then.

[Q] Please help. Stuck at Boot screen

I was on 1.85, but couldn't get it to root no matter how many times I tried. I updated to 2.2 and was able to successfully root and unlock. I decided to install this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804223. I flashed the boot img from the boot loader. After I flashed it, I tried to reboot into recovery from ADB, but it said the device was not connected. So I went ahead and rebooted the device. I got back to the boot loader and booted into recovery from there. At that point, I mounted the sd card and copied over the zip file of the rom and the gapps. I unmounted the phone and installed the rom and gapps and rebooted. Now im stuck on the Initiating swagger screen. It just sits on this screen and looks like its loading, but nothing happens. Any ideas as to what I have done wrong??
Thanks in advance.

Did you full wipe before flashing? Ie system data cache

The rom said it installed fine, the gapps said it installed fine. I rebooted the phone from recovery. The HTC screen came up and now it's stuck on the screen that has a unicorn and rotating gears and says initiating swagger.

What recovery are you on? You flashed the right boot img correct?

I read he flashed it but he probably screwed it up. It's just more to go wrong when adding more steps 1.09 would have been so simple

4 now open a command prompt within the adb fastboot folder and type "fastboot flash boot boot.img" with out the quotes

Ok I think I have completely screwed myself. I wiped the data and now I cannot mount my sd card.

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.

Well, I'm a little stuck. Help?

Okay, so I decided to do something stupid and forget to backup my HTC One S while rooting. I installed CM10, and it got stuck in a bootloop, so stupid me decided to also do a factory reset and basically delete everything I needed to get out of it. I've tried numerous things, including ADB sideloading a ROM, but whenever I do that, it also gets stuck in a boot loop. I have no idea how to use RUU's, and if anybody could help me to fix my phone, that'd be really really helpful. I'm also kindof a n00b towards this stuff, so step-by-step instructions would be much appriciated Thanks.

Is your device S-off and do you have supercid?
Then I believe you can just use any RUU file for your phone to get it back to stock.
A Ruu is basically a file that installs the stock ROM onto your device.
Find the Ruu you need here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2094414
Just download it, connect your phone with a USB and run the Ruu file ( it's an .exe ) on your PC.
I hope this helps. Don't just listen to my advice. I'd wait till someone confirms my advice to be safe/correct. I'm still a bit of a noob after all who's trying to help and learn.

I think my device is s-off...i used the HTC One S all in one toolkit, and I have no idea what supercid is :s I've tried a couple RUU's before (don't know if i used them correctly, but i did relock the bootloader when i did it) but none of them helped. It just stayed at a black screen with "htc" in the middle. No error triangles or anything.

Did you run the RUU files like you would run an .exe file on your pc with your phone connected by USB?
I'm not sure how your PC will recognize your phone when you're not in fastboot (bootloader).. Or am I misunderstanding something.
Wait. Can you get into your recovery? Do you still have that installed?

Yeah, the RUU's were .exe's with my phone connected through USB. I can get into recovery, I have CWM installed.

I'm not sure if CWM has this option, but maybe you can mount your phone through recovery.
Then just place a new ROM on your SD card and flash it.

Well thats what I've been trying to do with the ADB sideloading, because it wont let me mount my sd card. It just says 'ERROR MOUNTING SD CARD" and when I've tryed flashing a new ROM from ADB sideloading, it just gets stuck in a bootloop again.

My best bet is to run the RUU file.
To know which one is the correct one is to see which RUU title fits your phone's Stock 'settings' the best (ie: provider, country, android version)

Oh and this thread should be moved to the Q&A forum I just realized

I've tried running multiple RUU files, and I have no idea what one to use. The phone when I got it was unlocked, and the android version was ICS I'm pretty sure.
I dunno how to find my stock settings because I cant get past the loading screen.

Did you try flashing the boot.IMG from adb. It sounds to me, that since every ROM you try results in a bootloop that you did not flash the boot.IMG

did you flash boot.img? most of roms will bootloop without it

Pardon my stupidity, but what boot.IMG would I flash? As I stated before, I'm not that good at this kind of stuff :s

You failed to follow the instructions to install the rom. That is why you phone wouldn't boot.
Download or build from source
Download gapps
wipe unless you're upgrading from an earlier CM10 ROM
flash rom in recovery
flash gapps in recovery
unless you have s-off fastboot flash boot boot.img

Take your CM10 Rom and open it up. Inside you'll find a file called boot.img. Copy that file to the location where you installed the toolkit. Place it in the data folder there. Then open the toolkit and press the "flash a kernel" button. Just follow the instructions to flash the file.
You phone should now be fixed just reboot it.
Next time, make sure you read the instructions and if you aren't sure what's going don't move forward. Or use the search button. Finally, questions like this one go in the Q&A forum. :good:

Thanks, I'll try that and see how it goes. I totally forgot to do a backup, and I now know that I should do one...and sorry, I'm kinda new to the forum and went here as a last resort.

It not really a big deal. Your problem is the most common one we see in Q&A. Also, once you finish flashing the boot.img keep in mind that CM10 can take a few minutes to boot the first time.
Also, just a heads up while the toolkits are helpful learning the command yourself actually lets do you a lot more things a lot faster.

heres how to do it using fastboot:

Thanks for the quick responses guys, I'm going to try that once I get home. Do I absolutely need USB debugging enabled? Because mine Isn't :s

Nope, just gotta do it one of the three ways mentioned. If debugging isn't enabled use option 1.
This can either be done via
1 powering off and keeping volume up & the power-button pressed
2 the extended power-menu (If your ROM has it, just select "reboot" & then "bootloader")
3 via adb, connect your phone with the pc, make sure it says "USB debugging connected", go to Android/platform-tools/ & then press shift while you perform a right click with the mouse, then choose "open prompt here", type
