Recovery Issurs

I have soft bricked my phone 3 times due to my recovery not sticking. I followed the OneXRoot.com instructions. When I flashed the TWRP on the terminal ( I use mac) it says sending ok booting ok then boots onto the recovery. Once I restart the phone and try to get back in recovery its either a bootloop or black screen, phone and red triangle. I've tried ./fastboot-mac flash and boot with the .IMG file name. Please help.

That's hopeful. Do what gunnyman said. If that doesn't solve your problem than see if you can get Windows running via Boot Camp or the risky virtual machine.

I think a good first step is to verify you're rooted and the bootloader is still unlocked.
pushing an image to the phone SHOULD fail if it's locked but stranger stuff has happened

Bootloader unlocked ,still rooted.....only Rom I've ran is the CleanRom...don't believe you need puts the IMG file...after I push IMG files is when I notice the soft brick...guess I have to figure out how to get twrp through goomanager

Ok so installing TWRP through GooManager WORKED. Thanks. That's one issue fixed. Now flashing another Rom is the issue. I've tried slim ics and cm9 and after pushing the img file ad flashing Rom in recovery I get an error. Something about assert failed. Any idea what that could be?

You're flashing roms not meant for your phone. Use roms in our development section only.

For slim ics I know it said htc one x....maybe not for the att version. I'll keep that in mind and look around. I guess no stable aosp roms out. Thanks a lot for your help. I'll repost if I run to ant other issues
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2

There's AOKP, CM9, Paranoid Android, MIUI, just to name a few stable AOSP roms available. All you have to do is stay within this forum..no need to wander off to the international One X forums

Lol..feel so dumb. I think that's where I was. Might not know this but is the aosp issue still goin on with the lockscreen when calls come through? I liked miui on the evo but had a ring delay when calls came through

[Q] Bricked my HTC One S

Hi all,
Got mine today, tried to install a ROM and it got stuck in bootloop.
I did a number of stupid things not to mention wiping the SD and im in serious trouble.
I can get into bootloader and CWM but thats it.
Ive heard restoring a RUU can cure it but I have a MAC and cant find anything to help.
Can anyone help? Im gutted....and fell like an idiot.
Ive got an S4 on the three network.
Thanks

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then after the touch buttons stop flashing, just hold the volume button and see if ot enters the bootloader.

Specifically you'll have to flash the ROM zip file from the recovery and then use fastboot flash boot boot.img.
You can find boot.img inside the ROM zip file

Tried flashing ROM zip but no joy...when should i flash boot img? before or after recovery?

Finally seem to have done it and managed to RUU
The phone is locked to 3 but as a noob I spent 2 days flashing a generic euro ROM.
When i realised i need a ROM to match CID i downloaded 1.53. Tried this a number of times with no joy.
Just tried 1.78 and it seems to be working
Thanks to everyone for your help - us noobs must be sooooooo annoying.

Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

Bootloop does not mean your bricked...means you need to fastboot flash boot.img

This little post just pulled me out of missery. Love ya man!

all you guys getting sorted
make a nandroid and sdcard bu NOW and put them on pc,
obviously leave a copy of nandroid on phone also
makes it a lot easier if you get in trouble again
and you/we will

Mounts and Storage --> Format everything --> Now Mount USB Drive --> Put Gapps and ROM
Flash it, erase cache & and Dalvik...Blah blah blah. Flash boot.img in fastboot, and there you go.
Everybody, please remember this and there won't be noob q&a anymore...

I tried every recovery. But I got it working by flashing stock recovery then clear storage then cwm and everything worked. But it won't let me flash any roms it gives me the status 7 error
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

If you have flashed stock recovery I suggest you relock bootloader and flash an RUU. Once you get every stock, try it again from scratch.

Don't use S4 specific ROMs. Use ROMs built for S3 or C2
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

i already get one step forward.
i used the correct roms and the actual twrp
now, everytime i flash a new rom, i need to extract the boot.ini from the rom,
and flash it manual via fastboot flash boot boot.img Oo
then the rom boots normaly and runs stable so far Oo
anyone knows the problem and/or a solution?

Oh.. that's a necessary step to flash boot.img from the Rom.zip ... It's the kernel.
Unless you are S-OFF, you are gonna need to flash the kernel every time you flash a ROM.

Do a research on S-OFF before doing it. It poses some problems too.
