I've recently S-OFFed my HTC sensation using JuaopunutBear. However, I'm unable to flash any kind of ROM (currently trying to flash CyanogenMod 10.1). In 4ext recovery the installation gets aborted without an error message. I've also had no luck using cwm recovery.
I can't detect my device using adb commands, but strangely enough I'm still able to use fastboot commands. When I go through these steps:
Code:
./fastboot erase cache
./fastboot oem rebootRUU
./fastboot flash zip cm-10.zip
I get an error message during the info parsing. The exact error message is: remote: 24 parsing android-info fail.
I've spent two days reading on this forum but can't find a solution, and getting a little frustrated now.
Oh, by the way, the top of my bootloader screen shows this:
=JuopunutBear=
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.27.1111
RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M
before flashing any rom do a full wipe
if that fails too then use a ruu.exe to return to stock condition
don't be afraid you won't lose S-OFF
after that flash again a custom recovery and then a custom rom from recovery
I ran the RUU.exe and returned the device back to stock, and reflashed recovery. Before I attempt to install the ROM I wipe-out using the "wipe data/facotry reset" option from cwm recovery. But I my installation keeps getting aborted without any error message. When I try the fastboot commands from terminal I still get an error during "info parsing". I'm really struggling getting around this problem.

i would really suggest flashing 4ext recovery, its way better. anyway, in cwm u must wipe/format all. wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache aswell then try flash the rom.
Yeah, well it seems like my main problem right now is getting rooted again. After I ran the RUU.exe I've gone back to 1.27.000 (but it's still S-Off, though). My cid is also stil 11111111, but I can't get pass the parsing every time I try to flash something. This goes to both of the methods, either it's using fastboot commands or by pushing an PG58IMG.zip over to the sdcard. Any advice on how to get rooted again?
Have you tried a different SD card? The SD card could be causing some trouble...
Sent from my Ouya
which rom specifically are you trying to flash?
(if you dont mind telling us)
Still, i would suggest you to use 4ext.

I'm trying to flash cyanogenmod 10.1 which I got from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115520. I also tried to flash a stable 9.0 version from their official download.

try the stock rom
see how it goes
I finally switched to windows after several attempts of flashing with different methods. And guess what? It worked. The thing is, Mac automatically unzips the downloads so I had to compress them again in order to flash. And I guess somewhere between those steps the files got damaged.
To be honest, I'm a little embarrassed by this. But anyway, thanks for the replies guys.

Hi. My Norwegian HTC ONE S (S4) cid: HTC__y13, unlocked with HTCDEV.
(I have spent 16 hours now trying to get any ROM back up, so yes I have been searching for everything)
I have been running Cyanogenmod but wanted to go back to stock because the official Jelly Bean is just around the corner. In Clockworkmod I went a bit crazy with deleting all /sdcard /data.... etc.. I dont know if this made the problem?
I thought the easiest way to go back to stock was with an RUU, but it stops in the middle of the installation. (the info file contains my cid: HTC__y13)
I later read that the phone must have S-OFF to use RUU, and S-OFF is not possible with HTC One S??
Also tested the trick with manualle installing the ROM.zip off %temp% (relocked, but fastboot returned (remote: 44 hboot version check fail)
I have tried to go back to custom rom, I install the zip from Clockworkmod, after reboot it shows the ROMS Logo, but it doesn`t start up, tried the Cyanogenmod I was running earlier + MIUI.US and Untøchåbles.
Last fix i tried was this, with the same result:
Yes, I just fixed my problem yesterday after some serious trial-and-error.
1) Use the All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery back to stock
2) Boot into the bootloader and choose to "clear storage" and afterwards to reset to factory defaults.
3) Go back to the all-in-one-kit and flash a CWM recovery version again.
4) Reboot into recovery (CWM). Your /sdcard should now be mounted and visible.
5) Now, try the UTB rom (it worked for me), rename the zip file to something short (i.e. utb.zip), and push it to the sdcard using adb as follows:
Code:
adb push utb.zip /sdcard
6) While still in CWM, flash the zip.
The trick here is that only the stock recovery is capable of restoring access to the sdcard by it's proprietary "clear storage" option.
Good luck!
Sorry to bother you all, but is there any obvious reasons why my phone won`t boot?
Thank you in advance
You don't need soff to run ruu unless It's specific for this device. I never soff'd my amaze and still was able to flash ruu after renaming it

ERROR 155
Ok, maybe not... but I get ERROR 155 after a few minutes with RUU....
But If I only could get any custom rom running ...... argh!
I have a norwegian HTC one S, cid: HTC__y13, I can`t find an RUU for "Telenor" so I guess the "EUROPEAN" RUU is the correct one?
FIXED, Finally
Took only 20 hours of testing and failing....
Finally got the right RUU
1. Boot into bootloader
2. Flash stock boot - "ville_recovery_signed.img"
3. Clear Storage
4. Factory Reset

But I'm installing the RUU with TWRP recovery
Hi, seems like my One S's sdcard partition has corrupted. been using TWRP 2.500 and recently upadted to 2.6.30 to use the new Maximus Rom. During the rom installation, I wiped the sdcard sectrion by mistake so I couldn't get to flash the zip file, then, I've tried multiple times of recovery.img flashings via RUU mode or on the bootloader screen. Finally when I got the TWRP recovery mode again, it says the sdcard folder only accepts 48 MB so I cannot push any custom roms since they are bigger than 500MB... Any ideas? Should I send it to the repair shops? Please Help!! Thank you!
FYI, my phone was
Tampered, Unlocked, S-off
also, when I press mount button on TWRP, this list appears
Cache
Data
Internal SDcard
System
USB-OTG
but I select Internal SD, the computer says the removable disk has only 48MB of available space.(I wiped it multiple times!)

Yes, don't sweat it. It is repairable.
It's hard for my to tell what you missed, because you didn't write what you did. So just follow installation instructions in the first post of maximus Rom. (flash new firmware, modified recovery, then Rom).

All of these steps work for me except flashing the recovery as a ZIP. I get the wrong CID error (code 42 if i remember correctly). Thing is, I flash the .img directly usign fastboot flash recovery and that works but then the install process says, in android, transfer ROM. At this point, I don't have access to the SD card and the ROM is not in my sd card (it was wiped anyway?)
*EDIT*
Ok I changed my CID to 1111111 and now it works to flash the firmware. I still get partitions errors it seems though.
What I did is flash the stock recovery, clear storage, factory reset, reflashed the firmware given in Maximus thread, then the TWRP given and still, I get problems with my sdcard not mounting?

if you are talking about mounting usb storage in recovery, then no, you cannot do that on Maximus HD rom. (it's a modified TWRP to work on the new firmware)
You can sideload in TWRP or ADB push the rom to your sdcard.
I would give you a link to a page describing it, but search is unavailable right now, have to try later.
But just search that thread with keyword sideload. There you will find the exact commands to load the rom onto your sdcard.

Then i tried to adb sideload a rom but it didn't work. So i went to boot loader then to fast boot and did fastboot flash zip Energyrom.zip. That gave me an error so i went back to recovery to try to side load the rom again, but my sdcard went back to 48mb.I reflashed the recovery (the one from install package) same thing . What do i do????? I need help asap i want my phone back (IM ONLY 12) Please reply asap.

I think the easiest way is to flash the stock recovery and then do a sdcard wipe then a factory reset.
After that, you go through the process as described in the maximus rom thread, you will have to flash with sideload. That should work afterward
I am doomed
Hi guys,
Yesterday I decided to try MaximusROM 10.0.0 HD on my HTC One S, which is s-OFF and with superCID. The problem is: I didn't flashed first the rom as it was said, and I just used the Installation Package, installing directly the firmware.zip and the modified recovery. I tried to follow the steps written before, but now my phone works with the stock rom but it says that there are only 48mb in sd card, and that means that I can't even take photos, because I have no memory left. I found out that my phone, when is booted up, in settings says that I have 15,96GB of space for applications. What can I do?

Hey guys,
Having some problems with this ROM. I downloaded the ZIP, used Titanium backup to back it all up, and flashed the Rom with no problems at all...got through all the screens and whatnot, and upon launching for the first time it's stuck on the "Beats Audio" screen. Not really sure why or what happened. I'm coming from MIUI ROM and haven't had issues with flashing any other ROM before.
One thing I noticed is on the HD 7.3 first page there is a firmware update that you apparently need before you flash the ROM but all links are 404/not found.
Wondering if any of you pros can offer a hand?

In looking at my Hboot, it's old as sin....I'm using Revolutionary Hboot 1.17.1111 and Radio 10.14.9035.01_M
I run clockwork recovery mod v5.0.2.0 as well. This could be an issue causing the problem. I've been using the MIUI ROM for probably 2 years or so because I enjoyed it but I'm ready for a change. Apparently my phone doesn't agree. lol.
You want me to connect via USB and run the cmd prompt for the getvar command and let you know what it says?

Hmmm....the firmware update didn't work.
I can verify that I'm on the firmware 3.3, Hboot is 1.27.1100, Radio is 11.24A.3504.31_M.
Each time Hboot is run it asks if I want to start the update. If I select yes, I've got 9 on screen options that it runs through and tells me "Update complete. Press power to reboot" The only way to do anything at all is to take out the SD card so it does not try to load up the firmware zip
Pushing power reboots the phone on an endless boot loop. Regardless of what ROM is being used (I also downloaded cyanogenmod) I can not make it past the spash screen.
Could it be that I'm just flashing the ROM incorrectly? To my knowledge I've followed instructions for both and have backed up my phone and it's contents and done everything from a factory reset/wipe to wiping the dalvik cache, etc. I didn't have this many problems rooting my phone and putting on MIUI to begin with and have flashed ROMS before with no trouble....not really sure where I'm going wrong on this one.
Anyway, I'll await your reply.

Update: awww frick. So now it looks like this will be more difficult....I hope you like a challenge. I can now no longer get into my phone. It appears that it's soft bricked. I have tried going to a clockwork mod recovery from my first MIUI in 2012, it goes through the entire process of factory resetting restoring the boot image, system and data information. It asks for a reboot which I do. It goes to the white HTC splash screen and the MIUI initializes and goes black immediately. There doesn't seem to be a way to get my phone connected to my computer to get into the SD card to troubleshoot from inside the phone. Hopefully one of you guys has the answer for me. Is there any way to get into it via bootloader usb?

remove the pg58img.zip from your sdcard so it won't scan and identify any pg58img.zip file
and don't restore your miui rom because probably is a gb one and now you have an ics firmware installed
just download an ics or jb rom
put it on your sdcard
full wipe from recovery
flash the rom
done

With the phone being in a boot loop I can't get it detected by my computer to remove/add anything from the SD card. I do have the HD 7.3 ROM on and the Gapps that's required but it never makes it past the "beats audio" splash screen. I have no idea what's going on with it but will try any suggestions you've got up your sleeve.
Ahhhhh....I've gotten a fix for this!
I was unable to do anything because of the update zip which wanted me to update every time bootloader was initiated. By keeping my case off I removed my SD card to be able to boot in recovery and then put the SD card back in to load the HD 7.3 zip from the card. This seemed to take care of the problem.
Thanks for the help Rzr
HI! Today I got an HTC Sensation from a friend and it was laggy due to it's stock rom with preinstalled apps and stuff, so I decided to move to a custom ROM, the first one which caught my eye was 5.0 CM12 from the development section, so I copied it to sdcard.
I have managed to unlock the bootloader through the htcdev site and then flashed the lasted CWM Recovery available, 5.8.0 and then formatted cache, data, system, dalvik, because that's what I've always been doing on my Galaxy S2, it was very straight forward.
But now, I can't install a custom rom, tried that one and the slim pyramid one, even a cyanogenmod rom but still no luck. It would abort the installation and output an error about filesystems which can't be found or it woudn't say nothing but will restart the phone straight to recovery mode.
Also, tried 4ext recovery and still no luck. At this point I started panicking and tried to resolve this by installing the stock rom, RUU.
Downloaded RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.53_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_280871_signed , which is the perfect match for my phone but also fails to finish installation, telling me something about failed/unknown mounts/filesystem... If it will help, I will tell you exactly what the error is.
At this moment I have S-On in bootloader, and can't see any radio serial metioned at the top. Tried some instructions flashing PG58IMG.zip , but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Please, help me out because at this point my phone won't go anywhere but bootloader and recovery.

HI! Today I got an HTC Sensation from a friend and it was laggy due to it's stock rom with preinstalled apps and stuff, so I decided to move to a custom ROM, the first one which caught my eye was 5.0 CM12 from the development section, so I copied it to sdcard.

install latest 4ext from here
http://d-h.st/rG7
extract the recovery.img and flash it via fastboot command
the command is fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then from 4ext format all partitions except sdcard
enable smartflash( because you are on S-ON)
flash the custom rom
note: enable smartflash exactly before flashing the rom
Thank you very much! I've managed to install SKimKAT now. But how can I get S-Off permanent? Also, I can't install the stock RUU firmware.
RUU_PYRAMID_ICS_HTC_Europe_3.33.401.53_Radio_11.76A.3504.00U_11.24A.3504.31_M_release_280871_signed
It freezes on the "sending" stage for hours.

Hi guys, I had my one s on a lovely viper ROM, but recently I thought id try a lollipop ROM. Did all the prerequisites for flashing the ROM, so I went ahead and flashed Hboot_2-15_cyanide-5.1.1-RC-15.6-ville ROM. It failed to flash so I thought 'oh well ill wipe and go back'.
So I wiped and tried to install another ROM the problem was the SD card was nowhere to be found in TWRP, I eventually got the PC to reformat it for me.
Now TWRP can now see the SD card and I can USB files to it, but try and install any ROM, which they do without error, and you reboot after install all I get is a black screen and nothing else?
Fastboot and recovery work fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Are you S-ON or S-OFF?

S-ON
Did you flash the kernel with fastboot?
