[Q] HTC One S has no OS bootlooping with cwm installed - HTC One S

Hey guys, I was trying to install cm 10 and it would not install. It kept telling me that the installation failed, I cleared all my caches/data etc using CWM than I backed up my trickdroid rom but when I tried to recover it, it failed. Now it wont access the SD Card, and its bootlooping.
I'm with Fido here in Canada I don't if that helps, but definitely need some help here!
How do I reset this, so I can install a new rom.

There are plenty of other threads that talk about possible ways to fix this.
However, if you can boot in to bootloader you should be able to RUU (and you are lucky you didn't completely brick your phone).

I am assuming because you posted in this forum that you have the Dual Core LTE version of the One X? Is that correct? Who is your carrier? Also, I am assuming if you tried to flash a ROM that your bootloader is unlocked and you are rooted?

You could go into bootloader, flash TWRP recovery, boot into TWRP, and you should be able to mount the SD card.

That was my train of thought. On CWM, USB mount does not work, its a known issue. Install TWRP using adb.

CleanROM is great. The regular version leaves in Sense styling if you like that or the Dev edition replaces some of that with AOSP styling (what I like). Both run very smooth and strip the bloatware from the phone.

Why not just try some yourself, and device what is "good"?
Stick to the ROMs, mods, etc. on my index thread. You'll be safe from flashing anymore stuff meant for the international One X:

[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

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

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...

Google says error 6 means an error in the updater script. Since other people have used it with no problems, I would guess a bad download.
Try redownloading the ROM. Then push it to sdcard using adb while booted into recovery. Then try again.

This is an unofficial build of TWRP RECOVERY built from the latest twrp sources

CM is having a new fstab layout for a number of devices. One of these changes include a by-name partition support (instead of say mmcblk0p33 called as "system"). you need this recovery to flash CM from today, and probably all 4.4.2 ROMs soon
That's the major change...other than that: adb fixes (big issue for me while trying to pull kmesg logs for Sense 6 building :fingers-crossed, LED fixes, dual core support, fix of backup and restoration of encrypted backups

[Q] Help!!!

So yesterday I made a really dumb decision by using the TWRP Theme Manager on XDA to use a theme, even though I had TWRP 2.6 instead of 2.7. I tried to reboot, but it was in a bootloop. I got back to the recovery and wiped everything, then flashed my ROM, but it's still in bootloop. I tried flashing CWM with fastboot, but my phone is not recognized. Can anyone help me, please? I want to flash the stock firmware, but I don't know which one is correct. I have XT1032. Thanks.
