[Q] S-OFF Facepalm help please - HTC One S

Hi all not too sure if I am doing this right but here goes (if not sorry).I tried to do the facepalm method a couple of times to get S-OFF with my one S (S4) I did the supercid, installed Recovery and placed a new rom on( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2065357 ) all by using the AIO tool kit from this site. All upto date versions of drivers etc. I can get as far as point 5 on the Facepalm method and first time got “FAILED (remote: 92 supercid! please flush image again immediately)” which from what i can gather is correct. I then proceeded to the next stage which I then found I had not installed SU (Now this is where have a funny feeling where it went Pete Tong on me), so i installed SU then went back to point 6 which seemed to push all the files though fine but I had no S-OFF. So I scanned through the thread and found someone else with the same problem and they fixed it by installing VIPER 2.2 rom I think this is where thing really went wrong. After the rom installed it gave black screen of death but after some faffing I got it to the dead android with the red triangle and the exclamation inside it screen abd it got stuck rebooting like that for a while. I managed (After 6 hrs+) to install a RUU 3.15 EU stock rom and started from scratch again with the original rom that I used (see link above) now I all get is the 99 error (I now have SU and rooted) so any thought (apologies for spelling and grammar I know how you like that)
Hboot version 2.15 or 2.13 (can remember which can get into bootloader if you really need it to be exact)
Recovery is TWRP 2.4.4.0
Hope you can help
thanks in advance

U sure the 'black screen of death' wasn't the stock recovery? That's how it looks triangle with exclamation mark inside
Can't figure out what your problem is try going onto their chat thing and asking the dev for help but before you do...
Do u flash super su in recovery or install from play store? I have a habit to flash it in recovery because a lot of the time it didn't work for me when I installed it from the play store
Also ones you super CID reboot your phone 3 times, I had a problem when after SuperCID I had no CID and jcase told me to reboot a few times then it worked

I think it was stock recovery but it just didn't like the Viper Rom i think when I check the CID it is 1111111 so I know that has worked and I installed SU in the recovery. Oh and was my "windows" take on the black screen of death yes it was the recovery screen but it still took 6 hrs plus to get it from that screen and back to booting normally sorry thought I made sense my bad

Dude you don't flash a custom rom in stock recovery the stock recovery is used for flashing official ota's
Download twrp 2.3.3 (nothing higher) and flash it to the phone by going into hboot
And on computer type
Fastboot flash recovery "name of recovery. Img"
Then boot Into recovery and flash Viper
U need to read properly... Don't do it if u don't know what your doing you can very easily brick your device..

Sorry mate I think I either wrote it wrong or you misread somewhere I have unlocked a fair few phones I didn't flash the custom Rom through stock. After the soft brick with the viper Rom I put an ruu 3.15 on then went through all the aio tool kit from scratch again my bad for not explaining properly I am not that dumb ha ha cheers for the reply though

I'm pretty sure that the 99 error means you have to do a proper reboot. Turn off fastboot in the power settings, turn off the phone, turn it on again to the OS. Make sure the phone is rooted, make sure you have custom recovery. Go through the S-OFF procedure again.
Edit: ALSO WIPE YOUR CACHE IN RECOVERY!

How to apply OTA update on Rooted At&t One X

Hi,
I have this AT&T one x, (I m using on NON AT&T network), so cant have an ota update.
Looking at few forums, downloaded the OTA version on XDA (631 Mb)
Saw people writing, that just rename the file to update.zip and then go to recovery and choose install from internal memory.
That dint work for me.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then few people wrote to choose install from external mem.
That dint work either.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then saw few people saying that I need to root my device and unlock bootloader.
I dint that, and tried from bootlaoder to install from zip.
That also dint work.
Now saw, I few wrote that i need to be S - OFF.
Which I tried doing it, but i m not able to do s-off for myself.
Pls pls pls.... can any of you EXPERTs out here help me.
Waited like for AT&T to release the update, now when it is out, i m not able to make it through.
Your step by step instruction would be highly appreciable.
Be aware, that if you have the AT&T version, and you are rooted, then you probably have SuperCID (in fact, you must have SuperCID, unless it was already changed back). If you have SuperCID you must S-off (or return to the AT&T CID) before applying the OTA, or you will brick your phone!
I am not all that familiar with the process to install using OTA.zip (and haven't done it myself), but it was discussed in these threads:

If you would read my first post, I have already posted that I tried doing that was not able to do.
On the third comment that we need push in , where it given an error 92 or something like that, I dint got that.
Tried many times and then it became a "big" for me.

I tried this method couple of time before : unlocking, rooting and S-off ing
In this case , do i need to relock my bootloader and stock recovery?
If yes, where can i find stock recovery, i have deleted it.
By "i deleted it" do you mean you installed a custom recovery? If so, yes you need to get stock recovery back on.
Only way I know of to reinstall stock recovery is to run the 2.20 ruu. Since you're s-off, you don't need to relock; just run it.

You probably have a custom recovery. Reboot to bootloader and select recovery and see what you get. If it's TWRP, you'll get a teamwin splash screen and then some options. Stock recovery will just show a screen with a green circle.

I have already done that.
And now in case anyone needs help, i can help those people out.
Coz the method is simple, but it is not at all explained clearly in any of the threads.
It has come in bit and pieces.
I have noticed one thing.
That after installing the update and again unlockin the bootloader and rooting, I am not able to see "TAMPERED" being written in the boatloader.
Also, now when I am rooted and also have SU permission, I m not able to switch on my WiFi tether with the files mentioned in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677261
The "TAMPERED" flag goes away when you're s-off and flash a new hboot.
I believe wifi tether is blocked on the new AT&T base. You can flash a custom rom on the 3.17 base and it should work.

Need Help:can't flash any recovery,RUU doesn't restore my soft,One S- no OS

Hi, everything messed up from using the stupid TWRP 2.6.0.0 .... I was going to flash a custom rom , but it didn't let me, so I did a little research that I need 2.3.3.0 in order to instal any custom rom.So I tried to switch to 2.3.3.0 but it didn't let me... after that I tried to push stock recovery and now i'm stuck at the white HTC Entering Recovery ( pink letters) screen, ( The recovery just doesn't load) ... I just want to finish with this , and go back to my stock htc rom with not roots or anything.. im tired of this seriously.....
When I try to run RUU I get stuck at the Black HTC Letters screen , the the setup stops and says that it will try to repair my phone, sadly with no result every time.. I think that I don't have any OS on my phone right now, because when RUU starts it shows :
Change image version from : ( blank space)
To: ..... bla bla bla , ( the version of the ruu) ...
I have no problems with entering fastboot and unlocking/relocking my Hboot.
Any help about restoringmy phone will be appreciated . Thanks , I'm online all the time so if I get any responses I'll answer quick.
P.S. I can't mount my usb storage from anywhere, and it doesn't show up on my PC when i connect the usb

first i was with TWRP 2.5 i think , then i flashed 2.6, and 2.3.3.... now I flashed the stock recovery , still stuck...

Okay, just now I noticed. You used two Different RUUs for two different versions.
The 1st one is for S3/C2 version, the 2nd one is for S4 version.
Use This Thread to download RUU's only for your version (S4 or S3 whichever you have got). In your case, it does matter which RUU you use.
If you need any help further just ask away.
the thing is that the RUU doesn't get to the process of installing , and I have used those RUU's before....
I need some solution the get to a working recovery and instal some kind of OS because the last time I could get in my recovery it said that I don't have any OS installed...

okay you gonna need fastboot for this. What I have been successful with is:
1. Download an RUU (VERSION SPECIFIC!).
2. Go into Bootloader -> Then select FASTBOOT
3. Connect your Phone to PC. It should say Fastboot - USB mode.
4. Run the RUU, it will get you through all the steps.

doesn't work as I've told you , it happens with every RUU ... I get the Black screen with white HTC letters...
I think that what RUU does is : it updates the version my software I think it just doesn't place a new software right away( just an update), but as TWRP said I don't have OS installed...
can anyone help me ?

Man you're making this difficult. The more I want to help you, the more you become hasty.
RUU doesn't do what you think. It puts New software, updates firmware (hboot, radio, RECOVERY), so yes it is basically a one-stop solution.
Please calm down as panicking won't help.
Tell me your One S version (S3/S4) at least? so that we can move forward in right direction. and also your CID
Tell me what recoveries and RUU you tried. and what errors do you get while you run them.
EDIT: Thanks to @tivofool I forgot to mention that you have to RELOCK your bootloader before running RUU
I'm with S3
I wrote the 2 RUU's I tried to use,
before that i tried TWRP 2.5.0.0,2.3.0.0.,2.6 and finally I flashed factory stock recovery that's it and both my carrier and bl are unlocked
P.S. : Yeah i knew about the relocking but still stuck on black screen with white HTC Letters

First I couldn't mount the storage from the recovery , but it was still showing in "My Computer" , I had only one option and it was to Format the Storage. So I did.. then copied this rom with gapps on it ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2164406

HTC one XL evita deleted restore via factory reset

I was running a rom on my phone working fine until the new update came and I tried to install which sent me to my recovery page (TWRP v2.5) I then factory reset hoping this would work and managed to delete my recoveries and now whenever i restart my phone i either get the message of no os installed or when i install a rom and it actually works i get stuck in a boot loop. im not sure if it is the rom or not (KickDroidXL v5) any help would be appreciated, Thankyou
Your problem is your recovery version, TWRP 2.5 is very buggy and has major issues with wiping and with flashing. Download TWRP 2.6 from here. Put the file in your fastboot folder. Connect phone in fastboot mode, open command prompt from within fastboot folder, issue the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery "filename.img"
(the exact filename, minus the talking marks)
Code:
fastboot erase cache
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now you can flash the ROM again and you should be fine.

thanks for that, successfully running twrp 2.6 however when i attempt to install my rom it loaded into recovery as if i chose it from the bootloader screen. when i skipped that one and tried another it got to the htc screen then turned off
thanks again, its now working after looking at your q&a thread! was stuck on the boot loop without the boot.img file, too easy

Yeah, you should get s-off either here or here. Then you won't have to worry about flashing the boot.img anymore. You're gonna need s-off to upgrade your firmware anyway, otherwise you're gonna suffer signal losses and random reboots.
so trying to use s-off at the moment and i am not able to boot into recovery (just goes to htc startup screen and phone turns on) i then tried usb debugging where i got the response, needs to be formatted, tried that and said it was impossible as i didnt have any permissions! any ideas?
Neither of the s-off processes need to boot into recovery, what do by mean by that?

so i tried the rum runner method which got stuck when on test 2 it tells me it must ferment longer, i wait in this process for awhile and it attempts to start my phone however it doesnt start up only a black screen with no led (i assume the phone is off) the only way to start is by holding down the power and waiting for the 15 flashes from the buttons then putting it into bootloader, from there i chose recovery and it starts normally without entering the twrp screen.
Test 2: Booting device
Waiting for ADB (19/120)
must ferment longer...
must sanitize, skunky rum is nasty

okay so i assume it has something to do with the rom, i flashed twrp 2.6 back and recovery works fine! any suggestions on a battery low and stable rom?
Asking which ROM is best/most stable/fastest/prettiest question isn't allowed so I can't answer that, here's why. To say one ROM is better is to infer that the others are inferior in some way. This is disrespectful to the devs who spend their spare time bringing us these awesome ROMs free of charge. Each user has different tastes anyway, the best way to see which ROM suits you is to flash a few and find out for yourself.

Each user has different tastes anyway, the best way to see which ROM suits you is to flash a few and find out for yourself.

You need to get adb/fastboot and your drivers sorted out. Try using an app called pdanet+ from the Play Store, you download it to your phone and then another component on your PC. When you open the PC component it'll install drivers, it's what got everything working for me.

[Q] Help: stucked TAMPERED LOCKED S-ON

Hi guys, a few day ago my One SV had some problems, rebooting itself and runs very slowly; so i tryed to do something like root it, but not knowing what i'm doing 'cause i don't have much time.
Probably installing a wrong rom, now I'm stuck in the bootloader with S-ON Tampered, Locked, and Security Warning flags.
The phone stuck with htc logo, i only manage to go into bootloader, pdanet gives me sync error, twrp recovery doesn't work anymore.
Is there something I can do now?

As long as your device is Locked, you can't flash a custom recovery.
So unlock your device at htcdev.com, flash Twrp recovery and flash back a working rom.
Use a Android 4.1.2 rom, otherwise you will have problems with noisy sound.

How do you mount the sd?
At least pull it out of your device and put it into your PC and copy needed files in this way.
One thing i could not solve earlier (because of bad internet connection): did you already install the Android 4.2.2 update or what was your software running on your device before? Thats important to give you the right rom for your firmware!
I'll give you the links anyway:
4.1.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2254384
4.2.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512742
Rumrunner & moonshine are confirmed working for your hboot, but which you should use at least also depends on your previous software.

Im sorry That error is from the twrp recovery when i try to install superuser.. It says unable to mount int sd.. I think internal memory
Ignore it. Only use the files, recommended in my index thread (use SuperSu, not Superuser), link in my signature.
And answer the other question.

Ok, so you can use the second link for the stock rom. And rumrunner for S-off.

I installed the 4.2.2 versions, seems completed but phone remains with black screen showing only the top bar with the clock, then reboot itself; sometimes after reboot it shows the bottom clock and lock, you can also unlock it, but then it reboots;
One time it shows me the backgroud.
Maybe it's a motherboard problem, what do you think?
Thanks

Have you flashed the boot.img with fastboot? Did you wipe everything before?
May give the 4.1.2 rom a try.

Stop. Did you only wipe data/cache/dalvik.
No system?
You need to wipe all, except internal & external sd!

Also system yes. And if i wiped the internal sd?
anyway after installing the rom, from twrp internal storage is 0 MB
Then i'm running out of ideas
As the roms worked for other people, i also start thinking thats something bugged with your device.
You checked md5sum of the roms? Using latest TWRP recovery?

Yes, used the latest TWRP recovery.
the recovery say to me no md5 file, is this the problem?
How can I check the md5 now?
I don't know the name of the tool (i'm at work), but you will find it with google search, i think.
In recovery this is not a problem, its only to check on your pc, if the downloaded file is the same as the upload.

HTC ONE SV STUCK AT BLACKSCREEN. help please!

Hi,
I'm having problems with my HTC one SV. it powers on then it will show "htc quietly brilliance logo" and after that it shows black screen then stuck on it. i had this problem before so I remove the battery then power it on solves the problem but lately it does not work anymore lets say it's like 1/100 before it goes thourgh. i really dont know what to do tried searching for solutions just cant get it. I'm kinda newbie on terms so if anyone can help me I'm very thankful.
Thank you in Advance!
Seems like a common problem for many HTC One SV's.
Take a look in the Q&A section, there should be many threads, where i described what to do. As long as it's no US carrier phone, then things are different.
Basically:
- unlock your phone with htcdev.com (all data is lost)
- flash TWRP recovery with fastboot
- flash a rom for your model

my phone is from middle east. i assume that its all in htcdev.com? like step by step on what to do? honestly i really don't know how to flash TWRP, flash a rom and etc. I'm just having a hard time learning maybe because it's 1st time for to do it plus I'm not yet familiar with it.
You needto learn, how to use fastboot cmd, otherwise i guess your phone is lost.
But its not so hard, if you can use a computer
At htcdev you can get the basic fastboot files you need.
Try to read and follow the unlock guide, then we see how far we come.

This dll should be in the package that you have downloaded from htcdev.

Hi,
I managed to unlock my phone , TWRP and all that. i also downloaded your "[ROM]Stock odexed Android 4.2.2 Sense 5 " for k2_ul. i followed your instruction on how to install by the way mine is S-on so flash with fastboot (fastboot flash boot boot.img) am I correct? i see some okay it was kinda fast so i feel weird i thought the installing will take a minute or so because its almost 1gig file download. anyway the only thing i did not do is this part "Don't forget to flash Superuser file (look into my index thread) if you want root!" actually i really dont know what you mean by that sorry. my phone still not yet booting still stuck at blackscreen.
UPDATE** phone is just restarting over over again from htc quietly brilliant >> power off >> htc quietly brilliant >> power off.

Why install an odex 4.2.2 Rom when your 4.2.2 Rom is odex by stock?

Have you done a wipe in recovery before flashing the new rom?

sorry it took me weeks before i reply. anyway i did wipe the phone. are there any like reset command while on fast boot or something so that i can start from the beginning? actually im a bit lost.
Boot to recovery -> Wipe menu -> Advanced Wipe and wipe System, data, cache, dalvik cache.
Then go to Install and flash the rom for your model.
Then boot to fastboot and flash the boot.img of the rom with fastboot cmd fastboot flash boot boot.img
If that does not bring your phone back to life, something else is wrong.
