You have to compile the kernel first but dont do it. Dont u have nandroid backup of your stock ROM? If u dont have it then search for guide to install RUU on the index in development section

It is my sincerest advice not to overclock...it will heat up your phone..it will cause force closes and most of all it reduces life of your processor..!

I was having same problem.
All you have to do is
1)reboot in recovery
2)wipe/factory reset
3)flash with desired rom
4)wipe/factory reset (you have to do this again )
5) restart your phone
That's it !!!
Hit thanks if I helped you

Let me guess. You didn't partition your sdcard. Sense 4 needs a minimum 512 MB ext2/3/4(4 recommended) partition to work.

[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...

[Q] Problem flashing new rom

I'm using ClockWordMod Recovery 6.0.2.8. I decided to flash S3 feel OS. I followed all steps in the instructions, and then flashed the ROM. The installation only carries on till 'Installing Boot Image'. And then it stops and says 'Update complete', or something like that. When I reboot, my pico gets stuck at the HTC logo.
After that, I tried to flash MiniCM9 and I'm facing the same problem. Does someone know the solution to this problem?
Any help would be appreciated (unless it causes me more problems :laugh.
Thank You.

Change recovery to Yannou. Then try flashing clean. Means wipe everything before flashing ROM.
Yannou is working great for me since I've bought my Pico. CWM gives sometimes error. I've used TWRP but was not good experience. Bootloops.. try Yannou

maybe there is a hardware problem on ur phone before going to repair it from the service center well flash it with the RIFF BOX its a universal flasher that can flash almost every bricked phone no matter its hard brick or soft brick or fully dead.

Did you try the software version 1.43.720.2 available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225776?
In that case, working flashable zip's that don't bootloop are available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40385554&postcount=76
The download links for the zip files provided by OP misses some necessary config files in the /system/etc folder due to which the ROM doesn't boot. I patched it up, and uploaded it (second link).

Hi,
Can we flash this stock rom using twrp recovery? Or should we use only cwm recovery?

@noob nabain hey mate don't worry, it's obvious that a rooted pico phone running stock will go into loop when you do a factory reset (it previously mentioned in the rooting guide).
hope you have a working recovery.
now download any rom.zip
wipe everything(as specified in the instruction of installation)
install the rom
hope this solves ypur problem :good:

u r a life saver
