Bricked HTC One S/Won't boot past start up

I was going through the process and got stuck at the place some other folks are; getting root to work. In an effort to troubleshoot this myself I reflashed the different recoveries and the interim one seemed to boot up fine. When root wouldn't stick I did a master reset.
This is where it gets bad - when root still wouldn't work I went to advanced and formatted everything. I did this because it worked on the GS2 when I would have problems. Now when I reboot it gets stuck on the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen. Please help even though I brought this on myself.
tl;dr
The phone is stuck on the htc start up screen and I cannot get it to boot up or into recovery. Please help!
Update: I can get into bootloader and also into recovery. I cannot mount the sdcard to push any files to the phone through adb though.

Have you tried holding down power button for 10 sec and the hold vol- while pressing the power button? it worked for me when i Semi-bricked.. let me know how it turns out if not try the ruu in the dev section..
---------- Post added at 05:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:30 PM ----------
Maybe you can download the nandroid posted in the dev section and push the system partition..

you formatted everything ?? including /system ?
If so you have formatted the ROM and thats why it wont boot..
Try to put a rom in your folder where adb and fastboot is located.. And type the command (whilst in fastboot) fastboot flash nameofrom.zip
if that fails run an RUU. If you need to change it to match your version, Extract the rom.zip and modify the android-info.txt to match your CID and MID.
If you dont know how to get them, in fastboot, use the command fastboot getvar all
good luck and dont panic you'll be fine

You don't need to mount the SD Card to push files over with ADB in fastboot.

Help Please!
I have this same problem and adb and fastboot not working for me.. can anyboy walk me thru this please..

do you have the right drivers ? do you have all the necessary files in the right location ?

Its definitely driver related issue.. htc sync didnt work.. fastboot connects to usb but im lost after that..

I got adb working but now it says protocol failure when i try to push the files to \sdcard..

I have the same problem as the OP. I tried to flash several ROMs this way:
Code:
C:\androidsdk\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot flash /system Rom_xda.zip
sending '/system' (525202 KB)...
OKAY [ 25.529s]
writing '/system'...
(bootloader) signature checking...
FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
finished. total time: 67.731s
As you can see, the signature verification failed. What can be done about it?
Thanks

The interim version of CWM does not mount for USB storage, try using a different version if you cannot get any ADB commands to work. Not that it will fix your issue with ADB, but if you can get the storage mounted you put the ROM on it and flash. Hope it all works out bro.

Just FYI for you new guys that hijacked the thread. Too many problems posted in one thread can quickly become hard for folks trying to help to keep track of which problem they are responding to.

Have you tried just running an RUU? That'll take it back to stock.

Here is the att 3.18 RUU. All you need to do is connect your phone in fastboot mode and run the RUU, it's an exe file. Make sure HTC Sync is uninstalled (leave the drivers installed), make sure no other programs are running, and make sure screen saver/hibernation are turned off.

because you are locked you are restricted to fastboot commands
flash 3.33 universal from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
it will give you also a patched hboot which is unlocked
follow the instructions to the letter
and before flashing check md5 sums(important)
after that use again the commands for flashing recovery

thank you it worked you are my hero

[Q] One s won't Boot, Buttons Flashing

Using Ubuntu 12.04 linux
Hello, Yesterday i used the moonshine s-off and now my phone won't fully boot. When I hold down the power button the buttons start flashing and if i hold it down until they stop(about 10 seconds) and release it, the HTC boot screen with "This version is for development only" with show up, then it turns back off. Any help is much appreciated
Edit:
I've been able to get it to boot to Recovery by Booting it to the Htc screen with the method above and hold down the power button though the duration of that screen. It will Go black then if I hit the power button again it with boot to Recovery(I have Touch CWM), but I can't access sdcard for flashing(can't mount the /sdcard directory).
I can also get it to boot to Fastboot the same was as recovery but with holding the Volume Down button any time i hold the power button, but Fastboot doesn't seem to detect it

Are you on stock? or running another ROM?
Was moonshining successful?
First I would try going to bootloader and factory reset (you will erase all your apps, photos, files)
If that didn't work I would run a RUU.exe

you could flash this stock recovery. After that in bootloader pick "clear storage". Having stock recovery fixes the sd mounting issues.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/84212943/ville_recovery_signed.img
Then you could put back on your CWM or TWRP and mount usb storage, put on a ROM, fastboot flash boot.img and install ROM.

I hope so, as long as the Moonshine attempt didn't mess with anything.
So, if you haven't, while on stock recovery, boot into bootloader and clear storage.
Then put back custom recovery, mount usb storage for your new ROM, flash the boot image and install rom.
Hopefully your hboot is 2.15 (and I really hope you have an S4 and not a villeC2)

Oops, didn't read about the bootloops part. Did you fastboot flash boot boot.img?
Need to do that since you are S-On.
And by the way, That Cyanogen has been notorious for bootloops even when installed correctly. Sense ROMs don't bootloop or the new 2.16 firmware ROMs are better.

So from the start my HTC ONE SV is softbricked (i think) it tried to update a few months back and half way through the process something went wrong it shut down and rebooted, and it was just a black screen and battery icon (showing that it was charging still)
I then went to Hboot Recovery and started the process, what i found odd was that when it went to the recovery icon, the 2 swirling arrows over the device icon, it would show that for a couple of seconds then reboot itself it would repeat this process for about 5 minuets then finally boot up the phone into the HTC ONE screen, chime would play (but stutters) and then load me back to where i was in the first place a black screen with the battery icon, and time
So clearly something is corrupted either the restore portion or the os it'self, i decided that it would need to be re flashed.
i have gotten as far as Ulocking the bootloader and now i have what i belive is a compatible Rom for my phone,
so all that remains now is for me to actually do the process i've seen a lot of guides around but generally they all default to a ONE S not a ONE SV which either means no one has made a full guid for SV or the S and SV are compatible ?
anyway i was hoping someone here may have the time to help me out with how to do a flash back to stock
HTC ONE SV UK Orange / EE / same carrier no SD card (if that is needed let me know)

Update: just to add it's stock everything i've never hacked or modded this phone so it was on the last official os for HTC ONE SV what ever that was think MAYBE 4.2.2 and i have purchased a sd card just incase it was needed,

You can flash a custom recovery (TWRP) and flash back a working rom, if the bootloader is already unlocked.

ok dude, sounds like a plan,
ummmmm how lmao i see your quite knowledgable on here i see you post quite a bit so thanks for paying attention to mine, i am trying to do exactly what you said but right now nothing seems to do what is explained on the web, i have the latest TWRP.img and i've tried to push it over from adb, i get an error saying "error cannot load "recovery.img" i've made sure it's in the same DIr as my adb
i've been trying to load it onto the sd card and get it to auto update from their no success either
halp
thanks again dude, i'm tryng to not be ignorant and still reading up at the same time but nice to have some help from a pro

I've heard "i have the latest TWRP" many times, but (without wanting to hurt you) this means nothing (latest from their web page? version number? for which model? so many things which can differ)!
You need to understand to provide proper information to us, so we can help better!
Not every recovery is working on 4.2.2, but this one should do.
Read the guide there how to install, you can't flash recovery with adb!
Then we need more information about your phone model, please! There are versions of One SV with or without LTE, carrier based... ...we don't know which one you own.
Connect your phone with fastboot and type into the cmd:
Code:
fastboot getvar all
Put the output here (except your IMEI & Serial number)

ha ok that's fair enough i guess i know where your coming so yeah i can understand that, ok so i have the following
[Recovery] TWRP Recovery 2.7.0.x (recommended for 4.2.2
ADB
AdbWinApi.dll
fastboot

Hopefully that's everything

Ok, use the recovery and the how to install, to flash the recovery.
I'll attach here a dll file which you should also use/put in your adb folder (unzipped of course).
When you are in recovery you should do wipe system, data, cache & dalvik cache (unlocking bootloader did wipe your data anyway) and then you can proceed with flashing this rom.
Your info stated you have a k2ul (with LTE), so use the k2ul version. Or, you can also restore a TWRP backup, see this thread.
Or another option would be a custom rom, like this.
Good luck!

ok so i have added the dll to the adb folder in C;\android
i opend cmd (with admin)
typed
cd \android
typed
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
and got
C:\Android>fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
error: cannot load 'recovery.img'
i am pretty sure it's me who is doing something wrong
sorry dude, i'm a total noob at this stuff, (blame my gf for breaking my phone lol)

Your recovery.img is also in this folder?
What is the output of fastboot devices?
Is your bootloader showing on the top "Unlocked" an "Tampered"?

ok so my folder now looks like this
abd
AdbWinApi.dll
AdbWinUsbApi.dll
fastboot
recovery.img
in C:\android
What is the output of fastboot devices = i'm not sure how to tell really ?
Is your bootloader showing on the top "Unlocked" an "Tampered"? = yes in fastboot usb mode with ***tampered*** & ***unlocked*** at the top

fastboot devices should show you your serial number (which you removed in getvar result).
Something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

i have currently showing

C:\Windows\system32>cd \android

Ok, remove it from your post. Should be fine!
Your fastboot should be able to flash the recovery.img to your phone.
Now its time for me to go to bed.

ok dude, i'll keep trying
thanks for your help
EDIT:
So i randomly managed to do it using one a all in one tool kit from Hasoon2000
one, (all varients kit) so i now have a working recovery manager,
now how do i get the flash os on their Via sd card ?
thanks

So i have managed to flash 2 roms now
1 stock rom which was provided too me, seemed to flash fine, however result is the same a black screen with battery and time with no single for data
2 team vipersv flashed fine tried various different ways of flashing it all seemed fine, boot up to same result black screen, battery icon, no reception for data
i belive that this is now not a rom issue it must be something relating to something else, 2 flashed roms with the exact same result dosn't make much sense that it would be them
i've seen a couple of other posts around is it worth re flashing a stock kernal again ? thanks

Did you flash the boot.img with fastboot?

Hey,
i don;t think i have done that the following things have now been done
Bootloader was unlocked Via, HTCDEV code
WTRP flashed to recovery (working)
superUS flashed fine (working as far as i know)
stock kernel flashed VIA TWRP (flashed fine)
VierpSV flashed (flashed fine) same result)
Saturn III flashed (flashed fine) same result
stock flashed (flashed fine) same result,
they are the only things that have been flashed to the phone, if there is anything else that needs doing i haven;t done it as far as i know lol
EDIT;
i've just seen this in another thread i don't have my phone with me right now but assuming that my hboot is over mentioned version below could this be the problem ?
Quote:
Do I need to flash the boot.img manually in fastboot?:
No, if you're using TWRP and are on a Hboot-version lower than 1.13
Yes, if you're using any other recovery (like CWM)
Yes, if you're using TWRP and your ville has the Hboot-version 1.13 or hig
I have no flashed the boot.img (ViperSV) via fastboot so whats the difference between it being flash from twrp and from fastboot ? it seems to be still flashing the install from twrp

As you are S-On, you should definitely flash the boot.img with fastboot cmd.
Stock kernel for flashing in recovery is only for S-Off devices.

No, you need a working os.

And you can't boot into the os?
