I'm not sure what I've done, but I now know that fiddling around with the clockwork mod while drunk is a recipe for disaster. I wanted to install the newest update from htc, and when I tried it took me to the clockwork mod screen and said that the sdcard mount failed. I reset it to factory settings, and I think in the process I also wiped the /system folder.
Now, I can only get to the bootloader, and when I select recovery to get to clockwork, it goes to the htc screen with the warning that it is a dev build and stays there. I got the All-in-one kit, but it doesn't recognize the phone. Windows sees it, but is unable to access the sd card.
Help?

No your fine, Never use CWM for the One S. The One S It isn't supported, TWRP is better.
1) Use the All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery back to stock
2) Boot into the bootloader and choose to "clear storage" and afterwards to reset to factory defaults.
3) Go back to the all-in-one-kit and flash a TWRP recovery again.
4) Reboot into recovery (TWRP ). Use mount USB storage
5) Copy rom to phone and flash normally.
Remember you have to do an oem relock bootloader as well.

Ok, so I have the all-in-one kit open, but whenever I try to do anything, it says "error: device not found", even though I installed the HTC drivers from the all-in-one's menu. Am I missing something here?

Something went wrong which I am not gonna explain too much.
Now My phone doesn't have an OS.
I have Unlocked Bootloader,
I have CWM installed. However, the USB storage Mount isn't working. "No UMS error"
I can still use CWM, but I don't have any rom in the SDCARD.
I can boot into boot loader, I can see fastboot USB.
I want to install a rom, any rom for now. but I don't have access to the SDcard. I couldn't mount it.
Is there a way to write a file or put a rom on the SDCard?
of course the SDCARD is build-in so yea....
Please help~!!!
i could be wrong, but if you can get to fastboot, cant you flash via RUU? i mean its obviously not a custom rom, but a hell of a lot better than a brick.
most RUU is exe file...
I can flash a stock rom. but I need a .zip rom.
I tried using the one of the custom rom. but it says something about a .txt file missing.
Right, RUUs are exe files intended to be flashed via windows. I thought that you could plug your phone in when in fastboot mode, or maybe its after you select bootloader, and then run the RUU and it would flash the phone. Is that not the case? Those are just my thoughts so i could be wrong. This is my first real HTC experience so i may be way off base.

A very similar problem
Hi all,
I've gotten myself into a very similar problem, but the solution posted here hasn't fixed my issue.
I have an HTC One X 2.20 on AT&T. I used the X-Factor exploit to root my phone successfully. I have TWRP 2.3.1 recovery. I have a Mac.
While in TWRP recovery, I pressed "Factory Reset", "Wiped System", and wiped "External Storage." My phone now doesn't have an OS.
I tried the listed solution "adb push rom.zip /sdcard/Download/rom.zip" and the newly flashed ROM would be on my SDcard, but as soon as I rebooted, it would disappear. ALSO, when I tried to "Install" the ROM before rebooting, I get "Failed- unable to mount /sdcard".
Any advice on how to proceed?
Thanks so much!

Well, wiping /system = wiping the OS, so that is logical.
Doing factory reset in recovery means you need to reformat your SD card before doing anything else.

Hi, Brand new Noob here, but hoping someone can help…I’ve had a good scour around and can’t find the answer. We have a Htc one x from orange uk (cid orang001) stuck at “quietly brilliant” screen following an attempt to load ViperX 2.6.0. After downloading, the MAC unzipped the ROM so this was just rezipped back up and transferred over to the SD card, without any special conditions. ( I’ve since read somewhere that this might cause issues)
USB debugger was enabled but its not possible to enable it now.
Fastboot works ok, and we’ve flashed the boot ok, but ADP isn’t working, so it isn’t possible to push the correct ROM.ZIP to the SDcard. CWM is installed.
We’ve seen the post for an updated CWM with ADP enabled on this here but that states its only for at&t models. If we could get ADP working we’d be able to push the correct ROM over, so this would seem the easiest way if possible.
I wanted to avoid doing a RUU in case the phone would end up bricked, but I can’t get the correct version anyway.
Command ./fastboot getvar version-main returns
version-main: 3.16.61.6 and the noob guide at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1859714 says we can’t use a lower version….the nearest RUU I can find is 1.29.061.11 (released on 31/01/2013).
Any ideas on how best to recover this phone? The issue might not be anything to do with the zipping of the ROM, but then I have no idea why its not working…I’m hoping it’s a simple procedure, but I fear it may not be! Please Help!

Hi!
First of i got a Htc one S from sweden and have been using utb rom for the last weeks with CWR Touch. After hearing that Cyanigenmod 10 was not as buggy as i thought i decided to use it.
This is what i did:
Downloaded the rom with rom manger - the phone restarted and viped everythig and started to install. It then aborted because of something wrong with the file.
Now i dont have a rom on my phone and i cant acces my SD card where i got other roms waiting for me to install.
When i try to use any ADB commands like "adb devices" nothing shows up under devices.
I tried "adb kill-server" and "adb devices" still nothing. When i use "fastboot devices" my device shows. I have tried both Hboot and Fastboot.
I tried to use one guide i found where someone used "all in one toolkit" to go back to stock recovery, delete space, re-enter recovery but that did not work for me.
I tried to adb push roms to my phone but still, no luck because my phone cant be found.
I tried to use the software "quick adb pusher" and with it i could se my device show and i could acces the storage, but there is a folder named "error device not found".
I tried to use "all in one toolkit" so i atleast could get CWR back on my phone, it flashes and finds my device, but when i try to rebot to recovery nothing happens anymore.
Do anyone have a fix for this? 7h later and im out of ideas.....what ever small ammount of knowledge i have about this ended hours ago and google cant help me anymore.
I even tried to download a ruu to try and install it but keeps telling me its the wrong version and then the installation aborts.
i have htc sync and htc usb drivers.
I also downloaded....well atleast 15 diffrent drivers and tried them still no adb device found.
I tried to download android atk but it complains about me not having java runtime but i installed it.
Im using windows 7 x64 bootcamp and osx

In fastboot you can flash boot images and recoveries.
You can only use ADB when booted (which you can't) or when in recovery.
If you are unable to mount /sdcard in recovery, check the sticky on how to fix unmountable sdcard. It's here in Q&A.
Once you can mount /sdcard in recovery, you can adb push roms to it. You have to be in recovery for that, not in fastboot. First flash the boot image for your rom from fastboot, then boot into recovery and push and flash the rom. Wipe your data and cache.
You can do this either on windows or osx but on osx you dont need drivers so you can't have the wrong ones.
Good hunting,
-Jobo
The CWM version shipped with all-in-one doesn't work. CWM doesn't mount the sdcard anyway. I'd suggest TWRP because it can mount the sdcard and also has other features that CWM lacks.
Just boot into bootloader and in fastboot:
fastboot flash recovery twrpfilename.img
Then do as jobo said within the recovery.

What I meant, and what I think aasterix meant as well, is not mount the sdcard onto your computer over usb, but just mount the sdcard onto the root filesystem in recovery on the device.
If that doesn't work, you have to fix that first using '[HOW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard'. Once you can mount /sdcard in recovery (any custom recovery will do) you're good to push and flash your favorite rom.
Hi,

I don't have clockwork recovery, and I rooted my phone using adb and ace recovery, which is not on my phone. I only temporarily used it to flash my rom, stupid I know. :-/ When I connect my phone to the PC it is not being recognized. I tried putting the PD98IMG.zip file on my sd card but it just says that it the image is incorrect. Is there anything I can do? Is this fixable?

I just went through some similar stuff. What type of computer are you using? PC/Mac? Are you using the original cable? What troubleshooting steps for connectivity have you done? Different cable? USB port?
Can you access the bootloader screen when you pull the battery and reboot while holding the volume button down and holding the power button? By accident, I found that the phone and PC will communicate with each other when "Fastboot" is selected on the bootloader screen (you should hear a connection chime and it should change to "Fastboot USB") except I could only get fastboot commands to work. The good news is that should be enough to flash a boot or whatever else you need to get back in business.

That's great you're getting the fastboot usb message! As long as you're not using a hub or some other usb extender, any functioning usb port on the pc will do. Again, I learned this by accident (ie the hard way) and found that in this mode, only fastboot commands will work, not adb. (on a side note, and others should correct me here, adb and fastboot work together when the phone is rebooted normally or in recovery but not in the bootloader screen)
Great test for connection: fastboot devices (if you get anything else except a serial # with fastboot after it, then close the cmd window, unplug, and pull battery/reboot to bootloader), fastboot reboot-bootloader. Once it reboots back into the bootloader screen, make sure you press the power button while fastboot is selected and you should again hear the chime and see fastboot usb come up. This is your phone saying it's ready to accept your fastboot commands.
Do let us know how it works.

Flash a rooted stock ROM from recovery. Whether you have root is in your system partition. Whether your bootloader is unlocked is in your bootloader. Whether you have a custom recovery is in your recovery partition. Three separate things.

I'm guessing that you're trying to flash a PD98IMG.zip or a RUU. You need an actual stock rooted ROM, probably from here on the forum. Or just flash Android Revolution HD, an optimized rooted stock ROM, also from here on the forum in the development section. For more specific steps read the Ace Think Tank linked in my signature.

Dear friends,
I have this problem: I got a brand new TCL S720 and the Google Play did not work, being a known rom issue. So, before doing anything, I've managed to make a backup of it's original rom with MTK Droid tools whichI supose it did it well. Then I've tried to install a CWM recovery to try a custom rom for it. The CWM recovery seemed to install succesfully but I didn't manage to install the new rom. If I remember well, it stucked on boot logo. Then tried to revert at it's original stock recovery, managed to have the phone back as it was in initial state, but doing more tries, It remained stucked on boot logo. The problem is that my computer doesn't recognise it anymore, when I connect it to USB it tries to install MTP usb driver but even before the driver was installed well, now it refuse to install, like the driver is not good or the proper driver doesn't exist. So the only thing I can do is to boot on stock recovery but even I tried to copy the original rom update.zip on external SD and to flash the phone using install update from sd card in recovery mode, It doesn't find the external sd card. So I'm stuck here, the computer doesn't detect the phone to try flashing it with SP flash tool or MTK Droid tool, and I also can't flash it from sd card. Have you any idea how to make it work again?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I hope someone can help me out. I recently updated to 4.4.1 via Clockworkmod. The update worked fine but now I'm unrooted. I still have the SU app, it just doesn't do anything. Is there a way to remove it without rooting again? If not what's the easiest way to root the device (bootloader is unlocked and currently have stock recovery)? The first time I rooted the bootloader was locked and the process I used unlocked and rooted in the same step.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks. Don't want to mess anything up so any info you can provide on how to flash a custom recovery while unrooted would be greatly appreciated.

flashing a recovery, a rom, a kernel, and a mod doesnt require root. the only thing that requires root are apps that need root to work.

Tried sideloading 4.2.2 before I rooted again and can't get my phone recognized in sideload. Now I can't even restart my phone. Tried using a different usb port and cable and nothing. I'm reading the only way to restart my phone is to wait for the battery to drain. Is there anything else I can try? Thanks.

What do you mean you can't restart it? Is it frozen? Try holding down the power button for about thirty seconds. It seems to be the equivalent of removing the battery.

Got it. Thanks. Any idea why it wouldn't recognize the device? I downloaded the driver package from SDK manager and tried to update from the extras folder but it said my package was up to date. The only weird thing is the driver is showing up as Samsung Android phone in device manager. I tried uninstalling, restarted the computer, reconnected my phone and it still says Samsung.... Again, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Maybe read my edit below first. What follows is the manual way for doing this. There's a program that'll do all of this for you if you don't want to mess with this.
Try installing the Google Android USB drivers.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
To install the USB drivers, first boot your phone into the bootloader (hold volume down and the power button while the phone is off). Then go into your device manager in windows. You'll either see something flagged with some yellow icon or you'll need to find some entry that says something about Android or your phone. Right click on that and hit update drivers. Unzip the latest_usb_driver_windows.zip somewhere and then point the driver updater at that folder. It'll find and install drivers. Voila, fastboot should now recognize your phone.
Then follow the steps for getting into the bootloader, flashing the custom recovery, and then flashing superuser from the custom recovery.
Edit: OR, just use the Nexus Root Toolkit http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
It has an option for installing drivers, installing the custom recovery, etc. It's very straightforward.

Thanks for your help. I can definitely try the Nexus root Toolkit but I'd really like to get comfortable doing it manually.
The issue I keep running into is with the drivers. I uninstalled the drivers, installed them again while in the bootloader and it said successful (shows up as Android device > Android Bootloader Interface). Then when I enter recovery and select adb..., device manager lists it as an "Other Device > Nexus 5" with the yellow triangle. I try again there to update the drivers from the same folder that they installed in via the SDK and I get an error that the device driver software can't be found. I have usb debugging mode checked and selected always allowed for this computer. I've tried "adb devices" and nothing is recognized. Any thoughts?

Did you flash a custom recovery while you were in the bootloader? I'm don't think adb works in the stock recovery, but I could be wrong.
As long as you have the bootloader working, that's all you really need. You just need to flash the custom recovery. Then put some superuser.zip onto your storage, boot into the recovery, and flash it.
As for the driver issue, I only did what I told you. If doing it manually didn't work, I'd try the toolkit.

I think the whole point of sideloading is that you can have everything stock if that's what you want. I'm going to try the toolkit because I've tried and tried and can't get the sideload to work. When the phone is turned on I can type "adb devices" and my serial number comes up. I can eneter "adb reboot bootloader" and the phone restarts. It's just when I get to recovery it tells me "device not found". Thanks again for your help and if you or anyone else has any suggestions I'm all ears.

Hmm, from your reply, I'm not sure if you're getting into recovery or not. There's the bootloader and there's recovery, they're separate things. Once you're in the bootloader, you choose to go into the recovery. Then, in the recovery, you choose to "apply update from ADB." Then you issue the adb sideload command from your computer.

Thanks but that's what I've been doing and what's driving me crazy. ADB works when the phone is on. It recognizes my device and reboots on command. I get to the bootloader where it still recognizes my device. Once I select recovery, the phone comes up with the yellow triangle in device manager and I can't sideload after I select the option. A friend of mine who;s sideloaded before watched me do it and was just as confused. Any other suggestions?
**Update**
So for some reason the driver package installed via the SDK manager doesn't have the Nexus 5 "hardware id". I needed to add these three lines in the .inf file within the usb drivers folder:
;Google Nexus 5
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001&REV_0232
One I added those and updated the driver I was able to sideload.
Thanks again for your help
First time post and it's been a hell of a day. I need to figure out how to either sideload the factory ROM, load a 3rd party ROM, or actually factory reset my phone to stock.
I unlocked my bootloader and installed TWRP and SuperSU earlier in the day. I then wanted to try to load Cyanogen11, but there were issues with the load, it constantly failed. I made a backup before I did this, but when I attempted to load the backup, nothing happened, it would just continually boot to recovery.
I attempted a few other things, clearing caches, doing wipes, powering the phone off for 5~ minutes, etc. etc.
Nothing is working, I can't load any ROM now and phone is either stuck at a bootcycle or the HTC Splash screen (Aside from being able to load bootloader/CWP)

Are you still having issues? If so, PM me and I'll help you out.....
Got everything sorted with the great help of Nelvin. I had previously gone to the twrp support IRC and after answering a few questions, they just stopped talking... Glad there are people out there still willing to help! He spent a good hour or so with me making sure everything was working.
Hey you two!
Did you solve your problem via PM, then maybe send me the log of it please.
I dont know exactly if we have the same problem, but i'll try to explain mine:
I wanted to put a ROM on my mini, because it is branded.
I unlocked the bootloader on the htc one mini and then put the twrp recovery on it. It seems to work.
Next i wanted to put super su on it, but I'm already stuck in a bootcircle, so i cant put any files onto the phone. I tried to move files with Qick ADB Pusher, but always when I try to send the file from PC(win7) to one mini it says "Opeartion Failed! Exit Code 1". I tried this when i was in Bootloader. When I am in Recovery ADB doesnt even recognize the phone via USB.
If there is more explanation needed, please feel free to ask.
Thank you for your help in advance!
Greetins,

Hi, can you let me know: Which ROM you want to flash, if you have attempted to s-off, and that you can boot to recovery?
Also, i'd advise against using utilities like the "pusher", please download this http://d-h.st/qmi and create a directory called c:\adb\ - move your ROM and SuperSU zip files here and extract the adb_windows.zip file to the directory.....
I did not attempt s-off, just normal htc dev bootloader.
First i wanted to flash Magio R4, but then i was thinking about Stock Rom Sense 5.5, which tr1gg3r84 uploaded.
i created folder and moved rom there. i also extracted the adb_windows zip there. what to do next? (i just wanna ask, because im a little scared of totaly breaking the phone now)
Thanks for now!

Boot to recovery, then
adb push therom.zip /sdcard/
adb push UPDATE-SuperSU.zip /sdcard/
Remember to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip file, and after flashing the ROM and SuperSU, boot to bootloader and FASTBOOT menu then:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
you mean to push with the quick ADB Pusher? but in this programm (on PC) it doesnt find the phone whilie it is is recovery boot.

No, use the adb binary from the download link I posted......
If your phone isn't found, check the windows device manager and verify that you have ADB Android device listed..... if not, download adb drivers for windows and install - then plug your phone back in.....
You are using TWRP 2.6.0.0 recovery image from here right? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2418938
the adb.exe just pops up the cmd console, showing a lot of commands for half a second and then its gone again.
the android device is listed on device manager.
no, i did not use this one(twrp). i used some explanation how to do it from another forum and another file.
should i use this one now? how exactly to do that? theres no explanation :/
Open a command prompt in Windows and cd to c:\adb
Then when your phone is in recovery, type the adb commands I posted earlier.....

terdingb all
cmd says that the command is wrong or misstyped
(im in c:/adb typing: adb push rom.zip /sdcard/)
Is your ROM zip file called rom.zip? Can you post a screenshot?

ok got it.
now the rom and the supersu.zip are on the phone.
i cleared cache and dalvik and flashed both files(Stock Sense 5.5 4.3 Rooted Odex/Deodex;UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86; both zip files) and , after that i went into fastboot and tried (fastboot folder) "fastboot flash boot boot.img" but cmd only says "waiting for device"

Check device manager on your pc, most likely the adb driver device isn't listed - if not, reboot your pc and try again.... This has happened to me several times......
ok now it worked. writing boot and so on .. finished. total time: 2.717.
i shut it down and started the phone again.
now it almost made the starting sound. after 5 boot cycles it played the whole starting sound and also showed the second screen with the "o1ne" and "beatsaudio" on the bottom.
but thats it. boot cycling in a different way now .
seems like it just doesnt want to work.
i'm so sorry that I am bothering you for so long now..
another idea?
thanks again!
edit: im gonna go through everything again with magio rom r5...
ok got it now. thanks a lot dude!
i deleted the rom files now from the phone but still there is 9gb used on the phone. this is way to much, isnt it?
is there a safe method to clean the whole phone .. something like c:format ?
thanks ³
No problem dood.....
Download an app called diskusage from the store - start it and choose storage card.... Post a screenshot please!
Sent via a weather balloon towed by a flock of seagulls. That's how this messaging stuff works, right?
after the phone went out of battery, it was in a boot cycle again after loading and rebooting.
flashed super su.zip again, but it didnt help. stupid me didnt do a backup yet. so do i have to install the rom again and do all the configs from scretch?
What's your hboot status? Locked/unlocked, s-on/s-off etc
Also, did you do, or install anything before your phone powered off?
