HTC One S villec s3 BRICKED

I have a HTC One S villec s3, and I unlocked it using the official HTCDev method, then I tried to install CWM but I couldn't, then I successfuly installed TWRP, and it worked fine.
I made a backup of the official ROM so good, but after doing factory reset, wiping cache/dalvik I accidentally press power and the phone was powered off. Now when I turn it on I can get into bootloader but I can't enter into TWRP, I tried reinstalling TWRP but I can not get into TWRP, only thing that I see is the logo of TWRP and suddenly restart.

No problem
If you can get into bootloader then all is good.
Go into fastboot and relock your phone with htc all in one application and then flash the europe ruu 4.0.4

You can try writing the recovery from this tool and restore your rom
If this doesn`t work you will have to flash the ruu

Already RELOCKED, but when I choose Flash Facatory RUU zip on HTC One S All in One this message appear:
"This will flash RUU zip file... If you have the RUU zip file and NOT the exe RUU, then you can continue..."
The link you gave me is the exe file not the zip, Do I have to execute this exe and follow instructions?

You can do a little trick to flash TWRP 2.4....you have to download it, rename it in TWRPS3.img and then move it in htc tools directory/Data/Recoveries and replace TWRPS3.img (this is the old recovery)
And try again to flash a rom or to rerestore your rom.

Using TWRP to mount the sdcard on windows, its ask me if I want to format the disc... If I format it twrp will be erase too? Or TWRP is installed in other place?

The recovery is in another place you can format your internal storage (sd) from recovery or from windows without a problem

[Q] Help!! Cant Update OTA 4.2.2 for my One XL !!

I've been running Stock Rom (4.1.1) with Bullet_proof_kernel and TWRP (instead of stock kernel and stock recovery),Recently I was notified on an update to 4.2.2 via OTA. And when I was asked for installing the update package after downloading (424 MB),it simply goes into TWRP,and nothing happens. I tried flashing it through twrp but it doesn't work(I get some errors on it). What if,I flash Stock kernel and stock recovery and then try updating it??If that's possible,Can anyone provide me with a link for downloading them? It would also be great if you suggest an alternate way to update it to 4.2.2 [stock].
Thanks in advance!!

As I've told at least 3 other people in the last couple days: OTAs require stock recovery to install.
Also, I think your bootloader will need to be relocked if you are S-on.
If you are already bootloader unlocked and custom recovery, just install one of the stock (or stockish) Sense 5 ROMs posted in Development. Flash like any other custom ROM.

Its been discussed here countless times that TWRP 2.5.0.0 is buggy, and many ROMs will not install with it. Update to 2.6.0.0.
This is probably your main issue. Returning to stock recovery is a poor remedy.

Try downloading GooManager from the Play Market, and update TWRP that way.
I've tried CWM before, but only the official version, not Philz, so I can't comment on that.

I never personally had it screw things up.. it always just ended up disabled. You can use the RUU i linked above to upgrade without any issue. You will just need to flash TWRP and supersu afterwards.

Then use TWRP and flash a stock rom. You'll find them, using the link in my signature to my index thread.
