[Q] HTC One S unable to flash anything

Hello everyone,
This evening I was tired of CM 10 not working properly anymore (play store kept crashing etc.), so i decided that i wanted a new ROM. I chose Viper S 2.2 and there was the point where everything went wrong.
I used to own a HTC Desire with which flashing was very easy, but with the One S I kept seeing that i had to flash a boot.img or something, i hate the SDK so i skipped it. The Viper ROM went OK until after the reboot after the Arosa installer.
It is now stuck at the splash screen and when i try to reflash anything it just gives me a red "Failed" message, with it saying that the zip could not be opened..
I then tried to go extreme and unroot it bij using the RUU but this keeps giving me the 107 error of it not being connected.. It doesnt work in HBOOT or in the splash screen.
Here is the bootloader info:
*** TAMPERED ***
*** UNLOCKED ***
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.09.0000
RADIO-0.16.31501S.17_2
OpenDSP-v25. 1.0.32.0405
eMMC-boot
and on top of that, in the proces my whole SD-Card was wiped (internal storage)
Anyone any idea what to do? I'm desperate..

Well...all you had to do was flash the boot.img...you can't just skip things that's why it wouldn't boot...no boot.img hence the name..make sense?

Well.. the problem already occured when i tried to reflash CM10 ... I know that not flashing the boot image was not my brightest move ever, the problem of not being able to flash anything already occured before even knowing about the thing..

Have you tried flashing a different recovery? Try clock work mod or 2.3.3 of twrp

I am currently on twrp 2.4, i will flash CWM for now and let you know how it goes.

Oh your 2.44 there's your problem. I'm on the latest 2.4.4.0 as well For the OTG support, but If I run into any problems I just immediately flash CWM.

just flash a new kernel, also my tool flashes .zip files, maybe you should try it, link is in my signature! hope it works!

Nope.. not working, flashed a new custom kernel, CWM, boot.img .. Everything looks fine when installing but when I boot up it keeps getting stuck on the splash screen..

OMG. I don't know why, but it suddenly works.. I threw a CM10 EXPERIMENTAL on my sd and it's booting.. Still not sure on how to flash the Viper though now... Thanks anyway everyone.

reboot into bootloader -> fastboot
fastboot flash the boot image from the 2.1 rom
reboot into recovery
wipe system, data, cache
flash the 2.1 rom without wiping in aroma
reboot into android
let it sit for a minute or so before unlocking
in the setup, you have to choose your carrier and language. you can skip everything else
reboot into recovery
flash the 2.2 ota
reboot into android
let it sit for a minute or so before unlocking
personalize -> skin or scene, de-select and re-select the default skin
let it sit for another couple minutes
reboot
do your accounts, apps, tweaks, settings, etc..

If your recovery complains about signatures on the ota, try toggling signature verification off.

Fixing helicopter issue

Hi,
I'm running ViperOneS 2.2.0 (Android 4.1.1) and still having the helicopter-glitch. So I contacted HTC support and they told me I should backup all my data and do a hardreset. Will my phone be OK after running the hardreset? Because of custom ROM? I've unlocked via HTCDev and I'm running CWM recovery. Do you think this will fix the issue? Sending it in for repair could end up expensive, because of unlock. Or are there any other ideas for fixing it?
Greets
Sorry I didn't use the helicopter-thread but this does not directly concern the issue itself...

no proper fix till now! we are stuck with it

Seriously HTC!? -.-
Chances for a fix with hardreset? none?

Doubt it. You could try running an ruu, but other than that...???

But whats the difference between RUU with Android 4.1.1 and ViperOneS also running 4.1.1? HTC said the fix was added in Jelly Bean?

RUU , will flash new versions of bootloader , radio etc . The rom is just the system partition , I recommend you to RUU the device then restore your ViperROM

Ruu is like a fresh wipe/reset/clean. Wipe everything and re flash all partitions.

Ok thanks, I'll give that a try. Can someone please post how I exactly do that? First time to flash RUU... Found this: http://androidforums.com/one-s-all-things-root/691874-guide-how-run-ruu-your-htc-one-s.html Will that work? And where can I get the RUU I need? It says I should go S-OFF to use any one I want... My phone came with german T-Mobile ROM. And using CWM isn't a problem, right?

my one s stick in boot loop after flash superboot

after i get my htc one s i unlock it using htc development site and after that i use the superboot tool to install a custom ROM but i stuck into a boot loop, and a message under htc logo written in red " this build is for development purposes only" , i still can go into boot-loader and recovery, but no SD can be mount in recovery.
i use different RUU ROM and no one can solve the problem,
HBoot V 1.13 and radio 0.17
and my operator is orange
could any one helps me please????

Flash a ROM in recovery, then flash it's boot.img in fastboot

[Q] OTG isn't working with ICS

hi. i'm experiencing some troubles with my phone. i was on jb and have downgraded to ics. since then i can't connect my usb flash drive using OTG cable. is there a way to make it work?

It's not powered in ics...you need a "Y" adapter to plug in usb power source. Or you could flash beastmode bricked kernel if your rooted, which will enable self powered USB otg.

It only works with JellyBean. And sense 4+
With ICS you need to power the otg for it to work and it could cost like £7 /$10
If you can update to jellybean I would recommend it .
Its a lot easier
If I helped hit me up with a thanks

Hold on... Before getting carried away try flashing beast mode bricked kernel and also download the app usb otg helper. That should do the trick without a y cable

Thanks for your replies. So, I tried to flash beastmode kernel, but it won't work. Here's the steps I made:
Unlocked bootloader
Flashed TWRP
Installed the latest beastmode blocked kernel (went through arome installer, it said the kernel is installed)
Cleared cache and dalvik
Reboot... and the settings menu still shows me the default kernel installed(so there was no OTG support).
May be I did something wrong? Kinda noob in flashing this device (used to work with p500 )

Well, you either need to root or flash a custom ROM first (basically, you need root, then if it don't work, is an old trick to flash fusion kernel first, then beastmode.
Remember only to use these, not the new bricked kernel that was just released..that's for JB

[Q] Telus One S, soft bricked

I can't get a valid rom into my phone, and it currently has no ROM, but can get to boot loader, and fastboot. Please help me get it usable again.
I went to obtain S-Off on my One S (older phone, got it before the S-Off was available). aka, I was getting real tired of flashing CM Roms and having to use Fastboot to flash boot.img.
I selected the moonshine S-Off tool, and reviewed the directions.
Directions said you need stock, so I re-locked the boot loader, grabbed the Telus RUU.zip and tried to flash the phone to stock using Hansoon's All-in-one kit v4.0 for the One S. It came back and said: "FAILED (remote: 12 signature verify fail)"
The RUU filename is: OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TELUS_WWE_3.16.661.4_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_307532nohrvy5j6i2o2i8i.zip
At this point I still had TWRP installed, so I tried to unlock and restore CyanogenMod from a nandroid backup to no avail. It said it couldn't mount several partitions.
Per another thread about that specific error I, flashed the recovery.img from the ruu zip file (it was already unlocked from the last step), relocked and retried. Got the same error.
I've attached a screenshot of the fastboot screen hoping that will provide useful info.
Any help is appreciated, and I'm happy to provide more info as needed as well.

That is not an ruu, it's an OTA.

Thanks for the clarification. The .exe version returned an "unknown error" ... I missed that step in the description above. The RUU filename was: RUU_Ville_U_TELUS_WWE_1.70.661.1_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_254554_signed.exe, and was flashed with the device re-locked.

I think your going about this all wrong. First, you are on a low enough firmware for facepalm s-off. Moonshine cannot even be run with your firmware even if you upgraded it.
What you need to do is super cid, then use facepalm s-off method.

Ok, I'll do that. Do you have a link to a recommended SuperCID method? Normally I'd search and pick one, but I've well... not had the best weekend at that.
Also, once I've got it S-Off, then I can install an RUU or OTA of choice without issue?

There only is one. It's in the one s dev section titled "Super CID 11111111" and I'm sure they linked to it from the facepalm thread as it is a prerequisite.
