Just got the HTC One S( HTC branded S4 edition). I unlocked the boot loader, rooted , flash a recovery , and then installed CM10. Everything went well until the final install , when the Cyanogen Boot was stuck. I have no idea what I did afterwards, but now the SD is unmounted. It doesn't boot up to HTC stock , the HTC developer pages just open and stays on .. I could fastboot. I backed up everything, but somehow everything got deleted.
What to do? I need help!

Sounds to me like you forgot to flash the kernel, then did something else wrong afterwards in the attempt to fix. I have the S3 version, but I had a similar problem with the ROM getting stuck, then my recovery was unable to mount the SD. There are 2 options, one is to use fastboot to re-lock your device, and flash the latest RUU for your CID, or you can adb sideload a ROM if you are using TWRP. I would probably go for the RUU anyway because it is the easiest. Just go into the bootloader, choose 'fastboot', use the command to re-lock the bootloader (I just use the All-In-One Tool) and then run the RUU when the phone is in fastboot mode, the phone will then be good as new (except for the Tampered warning in bootloader, but that can be remedied with the S4 version)
This happened to me just flash TWRP wipe everything and get another ROM on there

I was in the exact same situation as you, it worked for me (on the second repeat). If it doesn't work the first time, then just try again.

Thanks to all, especially to member Ami007. Im back and running again. I relocked the bootloader using fastboot, downloaded the correct RUU file that corresponds to my phone, and run the program.. Kudos to all!!!

First off I'm very new to everything Andriod coming from iPhone for the last 4 years.
I'm in a very simular problem to ORStoner who posted a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1624431
I have tried everything that people suggested to this user but I'm still locked on the HTC screen.
So I unlock the bootloader which was a success then I flashed clockwork recovery which went well. However then I flashed a zip that I got from this site http://www.guidingtech.com/10821/disable-3-three-dot-menu-htc-one-x-map-to-task-switcher-button/
I went through all the instructions but knowing me probably screwed up somewhere.
My Clockwork version is recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-endeavoru
any ideas because I feel lost with no phone.
Thanks
By anychance did you make a nanroid backup from clockwork before you flashed? Also did you also wipe everything like cache,dalvik-cache,data,system,sd-android secure,you gotta make sure you DONT WIPE YOUR SD card.
Unfortunately I was stupid enough NOT to back up, rookie mistake!!!. I have cleared all Cache including dalvik. No luck, So frustrating.
I just read the last part of your post, I did wipe the SD. I need the original files to flash any idea where i can get them?
Download a rom update utility (ruu) from
Forum. Flash stock recovery (you can find in modacos thread. ) Relock bootloader using fastboot oem lock. Start ruu and follow the directions. You can unlock bootloader again later.

if so then go into recovery mode, wipe clear everything using the two options provided and reboot.

Hi everyone,
i am so very new to this. here it goes. I tried to root my HTC One S and install cm9. well the root worked. I installed the cm9 rom. that looked like it worked too. so i went to turn the phone on and it booted up ok, showed the cm9 boot up animation, then the screen went completly white and stayed like that. well i booted up into clockworkmod recovery, did a factory reset (i also did a factory reset/clear storage in bootloader), and accidentally erased everything, i think. stock rom, cm9 everything. now i can only get the phone to boot up into the bootloader or clockworkmod recovery. so i think its bricked. it tried to install the tmobile ruu and that failed. idk what to do, im really nervous i wont be able to get my phone back. cwmr also says it cant mount sd card..when i plugged the phone in to the computer, devices menu says android and sometimes it says ville. If someone is able to give me step by step instructions on how to fix this, i would greatly appreciate it because i am freaking out. I have seen the term flash around the forums idk what that means or how to do it. i also tried forcing a new rom thru adb and that didnt work. i really dont know what to do at this point. I would greatly appreciate it, if someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Frank
My guess would be: flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then get a RUU and install it. (and you probably just had the white screen because u didn´t flash boot.img).

try to relock your bootloader with the all in one toolkit and after that, while your phone is in fastboot usb mode with the bootloader reloked, install the offial ruu for your phone. Try to find the download of the original ruu, it is an exe file, when you run it the phone must be connected in fastboot usb, if everything goes fine the phone should be back to stock.
Ok I will try tonight. Hopefully it works.

hi everybody today i tried to update my HOX with this stock room "stock rooted 2.33.162.2 - odex/deodex and unsecure boot.img with init.d"
my android version is 4.0.4
HTC sense versio 4.0
Software Number 1.88.707.2
HTC SDK API level 4.11
HTC Extension Version 403_1_GA_4
then after i flashed the room the HTC wont boot (just shows me the white HTC screen) and i still have access to the recovery mode (CWM) i downloaded another room to tried to flash the phone (my nandroid bk shows me an MD5 error when i tried to restore) then i dont have any idea about how can i move the new zip file to the cellphone, i am very frustrated because i cant do it anything yet
please somebody help me
Thanks in advance for your help
If you get it working, the first order of business is to ditch CWM and switch to TWRP as it was not properly ported to our device. Are you sure you have a XL? The dual core version? Make sure you have the right ROM for the right device. I can't help you to transfer as you are using CWM and I'm not familiar with mounting. Word on the street is that there is a good chance it'll wipe your entire SDcard

thanks for your quickly response, well i have an AT&T HTC one X and yes its the dual core version, the phone comes with the CWM, unlocked and rooted, how can i install the TWRP ? because if i connect the phone to the computer doesnt shows me anything (i cane heard the tone when windows detect something new but its all) i tried to use odin but odin doesnt shows me anything and i tried with fastboot and adb but doesnt fount the device connected
from recovery do a factory reset and try again to boot it.... if u have a nandroid backup there is a setting to turn off md5 checking so it will restore......... as long as your using TWRP recovery (which you should be if not) you can mount usb storage and transer whatever you need......

you need to download twrp recovery, should be in the stickies, and flash it from hboot.
stick the recovery image in your adb/fastboot folder and rename it to twrp.img, boot phone into bootloader
from cmd prompt, fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
then on device select bootloader, then recovery.....once in twrp recovery you can mount usb and transfer..
no matter what just focus on getting twrp recovery flashed...your fixes will all come after that

any custom rom that you flash will be rooted already. As far as the red text goes, that is there to stay until the device gets s-off or you go back to completely stock/use a stock recovery.

sorry for the stupid question but what is s-off?
Security-off....see the phones which HTC does allow bootloader unlocking don't really get unlocked. Their unlocking really just partially unlocks and to have a HTC phone with a truly "unlocked" boitloader you have to have s off. Which gives the user full rights over the entire phone....so htcdev unlocked bootloaders aren't really even unlocked, they're simply less restricted.......

I was using the all in one root kit, thought i followed everything correctly.
If I boot the phone up, it get's stuck on the HTC screen.
When I go to bootloader and select recovery it goes to TWRP. When I select a .zip rom to install it always fails.
Suggestions?
I rooted my phone yesterday and got a boot loop. I fix that by downloading the official RUU for the phone from HTC website and relock bootloader, flash the RUU. I don't know what happened to you though

what does it say when it fails installing the rom? are you sure the rom is for the right device?
also, maybe the rom is corrupt? you could try downloading it again (if you are sure it's for your device).
Turn off md5 check in twrp. Then try flashing again. If your on Hboot 1.14 you'll need to flash that boot IMG for that rom in adb first.

Picked up an inspire 4g off of cl.Paid 20 for it because it had no battery. Put a batter in it and it boots to the htc screen, black screen, then reboots. Volume down was broken but I fixed it and am able to enter hboot. Phone had already been unlocked through htcdev. So I relocked it and ran the newest 3.20 RUU. It completed successfully and rebooted. However, it does the same thing. So I tried to factory reset it through bootloader. Again it just reboots and does the same thing. So I decided to try to htc dev unlock it and flash a custom recovery. Everything went smooth and recovery flashed. But when I select recovery in bootloader it does the same bootloop over again. Again I've tried using the latest RUU to no avail. Ive tried everything I know of to do. I'm out of ideas. It seems like a great phone and I really want to fix this so any help would be greatly appreciated.
If the bootloader is unlocked and you can flash a ROM, fastboot flash the boot.img from the ROM zip and see if it works. Detailed instructions in my signature.

Unfortunately I can't enter recovery to flash a rom. It just reboots at the white screen. The only thing I was able to flash was the stock RUU. And it still didn't boot. I've also tried flashing recoveries but that doesn't work either. It flashes successfully but never boots into it.
