I tried several method that call for install various *.zip from Recovery mode but none of them fixed the problem
Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

start fresh ...follow this guide...to the letter
PS: dont say adb is not working ..you can do everything from bootloader ..i suggest you to read the guide once/twice/thrice

Thank you very much ganeshp! Once I replace recovery to latest version 4EXT I was able to boot into stock ROM.
I take it from there

[Q] Please help! One XL constant loop with red writing

Hi all, I was trying to root my HTC One XL (UK if that makes a difference) and its current status is dire to say the least...
I had unlocked the bootloader and installed twrp on it before, however I stupidly did a factory reset before a rom was successfully flashed on (roms had installed on it before but some like ParanoidAndroid stuck in a boot loop and some the touch screen was unresponsive...
Currently the phone can only sit in the HTC boot screen with the red writing 'For development purposes...'
It can be booted into the stock recovery with these details
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

The problem here is that you've done ABSOLUTELY NO RESEARCH, and as a result have no idea what you're doing.
S-ON + Hboot 1.14 and above, requires that you "fastboot flash boot boot.img" where boot.img is extracted from the rom you're flashing for most ROMs. The ROM thread's OP will usually indicate otherwise. This can be avoided by attaining S-OFF
AOSP ROMs touchscreen won't work with 2.14 Hboot unless you downgrade the touchscreen firmware as an update to the touchscreen firmware was done on this hboot but Source has not yet been released. touchscreen downgrade/upgrade thread is a sticky in original Android development section.
People take the time to create guides and stickies just so you can ignore them. Thanks.

[Q] HTC One S no rom

One day I tried to root and unlock the bootloader of my friends One S, those were both successful so then i thought..why not flash a ROM (stupidly i didnt think about being S-OFF. I flashed CM11 in CWM and it got stuck in a bootloop so i wiped all data/factory reset. The phone is S-ON with an unlocked bootloader. It has a TWRP recovery. The bootloader stats are as follows:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***

Oh and fyi, my friend recently got a Nexus 5 (yes, of course I'm jelly) and he's happy with a custom ROM on that.
All I'm asking for is help to get this phone running on either on stock 4.1.2 or a custom ROM, from there, I can do what i please :laugh:. Thanks in advance anyways

S-ON means you'll have to manually flash the "boot.img" contained in the rom zip via fastboot (Fastboot flash boot boot.img) after you installed the rom via recovery.

[Q] Unable to access recovery with up to date CWM and/or TWRP

Hi.
I have previously had CM11 working very well on my HTC One S. To get the carrier unlock to work I had to revert to a stock ROM to apply the unlock code. Now, I am trying to go back to CM11 but facing difficulties.
I used an RUU (RUU_Ville_U_H3G_UK_1.78.771.5_Radio_0.16.31501S.19_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258982_signed) and that works fine but I lose root when doing it. I still have s-off and super CID.
Anyhow, if I flash TWRP recovery 2.4.1.0 I can get into recovery and flash SuperSu but cannot then flash CM11.
CWM will not let me flash CM Recovery and if I try a newer version of TWRP or any version of CWM Recovery my phone will go to the bootloader screen thereafter but when I select "Recovery" the phone just starts normally and I cannot get into Recovery at all.....
Please can someone give me some help / advice / pointers.
My head is spinning a bit so hopefully I'm missing something simple.
FYI Bootloader says:

There is no old back up and there is no data on the Internal memory.
I can not do 'USB Debugging' to get ADB work, because there is no OS to set it on, and phone will not boot.
I have read many forums threads and tried many things and still im stuck at boot screen- HTC
There is a recovery ; clockwork mod recovery v5.0.2.0
How do i get my HTC work, don't care if its Rooted or Non- rooted.
Im sorry this is my first experience with Android.
Hope that you can help me.

Hey,
I have the same problem (up to the last digit)
What I found out is, that you have to relock the phone
Code:
fastboot oem lock
looks like:
*** RELOCKED ***
*** Security Warning ***

Now we should be able to install a Stock ROM RUU - I am still looking for one that fits.
...and start all over.
What I did to get into this trouble:
- made some experience with an old Motorola Defy and a Samsung Galaxy S3
- got this HTC Desire S with german Telekom branding
- said: " oh no problem, I'll fix you old phone for you." <-- first mistake
- installed the drivers (HTC Sync)
- updated latest android SDK
- used fastboot to unlock <-- second mistake?
- installed ClockworkMod
- rebooted and recognized the T-Branding before the recovery screen coming up
- ignored it <-- third mistake
- OS crash

Thanks
That worked!!
Relocken and then the right RUU
And the phone goes on!
I had to try 2 different RUU before it worked.
THANKS A LOT
