You will have to flash the "boot.img" file which is in the rom's zip.
Put your phone in bootloader, connect it to PC and you should see FASTBOOT USB
Then put the boot.img file in your fastboot/adb directory, open the command prompt window there and type the following command
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Wipe cache and dalvik/cache too...
Then reboot your phone and enjoy.

ok so I started from scratch and wiped everything. I installed the pacman zip from sd card, installed Gapps, and everything went fine. So since there isnt a way to get back into bootloader from the recovery I just rebooted the phone and since it was stuck on the HTC screen I had to do a hard reset to get back into bootloader. I then followed your instructions and flashed the boot.img and everything went fine, it said ok in the command prompt, I then went back into recovery and I wiped cache and dalvik cache and then rebooted. And now instead of just being stuck on the HTC screen, it is now in a boot loop with the HTC screen, just restarts and shows HTC, restarts and show HTC, restarts..etc..soooo not sure what to do now, I feel like I followed the instructions fine, but yet it still isnt working. ugh.. I just must be cursed or something.. Thank you again for the help. p.s. random question, do I need to be s-off? cuz I keep reading about s-off and s-on stuff, but ive not read anything about my phone needing to be s-off in order to flash these roms.
So now im really F***ed.. I tried wiping everything again so I could just restore my stock system that I backed up with nandroid while I waited for more help on how to solve this problem, and now its still stuck in the same f****ing bootloop and wont even restore my backup!! So now I dont even have a goddam phone! WTF!?!?! PLEASE HELP!
Well now I think Im really f***ed beyond my comprehension. Unless someone out there can do some miracle work, I think ive bricked my phone. While I was in the bootloader trying to fix the problem I posted in the post above this one, I accidentally pressed the volume down button one to many times and hit the Factory reset button instead of the recovery button, and now every time I try to wipe, or try to restore my nandroid it says "error mounting sdcard". So now even if i wasnt in the bootloop im in, I couldnt even restore my phone cuz apparently my sdcard wont mount anymore.. FML

I've read somewhere in this forum that it is IMPOSSIBLE to brick this phone and fortunately, that might be true coz I've did too many things which I have NO idea about
It's just a soft brick.
I've faced the "error mounting sdcard"
Go to Recovery, and then in advanced options or somewhere (if you are using clockworkmod recovery) you will find mounts and storage option.
Scroll down and select Format sdcard option.
Then connect it to your PC.
In recovery, select the mount sdcard/USB storage option.
You will find a new disk drive in your PC. You can open it and transfer a new rom (if you have problem with adb/fastboot or flashing boot.img try with DARK S JELLY ROM LINK since for it you don't have to flash boot.img).
If you can't open the New Disk drive in your PC, right click and select format it.
Now, you can access your sdcard. Transfer the stuff and go back to recovery to flash it. Next time, clean cache and dalvik cache after flashing the rom and not after flashing the boot.img. Not sure but it might make a difference.

No, you don't have to be S-OFF to flash these roms. You just need to be rooted.

And try this All-in-One toolkit.
LINK
Install the HTC drivers on your PC if you haven't already.
After flashing a ROM in recovery, connect phone to PC, open this toolkit and select "Boot into Bootlader" option in the 'Commands' menu and it will put your phone into bootlader... then 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'
:good:
so I found the "mounts and storage" menu in recovery, and I tried pressing "format /sdcard" and it said "Formatting /sdcard... error mounting /sdcard! skipping format... Done."
If I plug in my phone and select "mount USB storage" a window pops up and it says "you need to format the disk in drive F: before you can use it." and gives me an option to format disk. Im really not sure if thats what I need to do? or even what I can do at this point.

Flash stock recovery
In Bootloader select Clear Storage
Then you can Flash your TWRP or CWM and the sd card should be able to mount again.
So I downloaded a stock recovery, flashed that, then hit clear storage and my phone restart and showed a weird image of like a phone with 2 revolving arrows above it. and then i went back into bootloader, went into fastboot, and re flashed CWM. I then went to recovery and tried to mount the sd card and still same error as above. So I just decided to go to "mount usb storage" and then format the sd card from the window that popped up, (I have nothing on there really anyway, I copied my nandroid to my comp and that was really the only important thing on there). and now the sd card can mount, there just isnt anything on it now. so back to the original problem now.. I tried installing cyanogenmod while the dark jelly downloaded. I deleted the asserts with that, it installed fine. but back to bootloop. Dark jelly downloaded, in installed it, it went throught the whole install setup and everything, said it installed fine, but back to bootloop. It seems like im just going to be forever stuck in this goddam bootloop...
Well, this is something I never came across. But, you can't say you are bricked as long as you have access to fastboot and recovery. Ask some senior members, they might be able to help you

Well, try this. Try formatting everything in the recovery, system files, devlog, cahce, and all.... Including sdcard. Then mount usb storage and copy ROM and start afresh. May be some system file is obstructing your boot. This formatting will not wipe your revovery or fastboot, dont worry.

I formatted everything, cache, data, sdcard, system, devlog, did a full wipe, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, put dark jelly on sdcard, installed, back to bootloop :'( How do I go about talking to a senior member? I tried PM'ing one a couple weeks ago and havent heard anything back. Is there someone you would reccommend? Thank you for trying to help me btw, I appreciate your efforts

That's your problem,(the original bootloop) you need to update your firmware. Your hboot will go from 1.14 to 2.15. So look into finding a Jellybean RUU.exe (if your particular CID # has this update) or Run your older RUU.exe and go to settings and update it OTA.

There are two versions of One S-
One S Ville(S4) and One S Ville C2(S3)
Go to One S C2 Android development section and try ROMs from there. Don't flash S4 ROMs on S3 version.

did you get to fix this problem am kind of in the same boat
Ok so I am SOOOOO close!! I updated my RUU to the 2.15 and everything went fine. After everything was done, I tried flashing the dark jelly s ROM and it actually got past the HTC boot screen and went to the cyanogenmod boot animation, but then after a few seconds it crashed and went back into bootloop. So I wiped everything again, and just tried flashing CM 10.1 ROM and that actually WORKED!!! It booted up and finally turned back into a phone!! YAY!! BUT.. for some reason there was no Wifi, its not that it just wouldnt connect, it actually wouldnt turn on at all like it wasnt even available or something. So, thinking that everything was solved and fixed, I booted back into recovery and wiped everything to try and flash the very original ROM that gave me my original problem.. the Pacman ROM.. So I flashed the ROM and Gapps, then booted back into bootloader and flashed the boot.img cuz thats what the install instructions (and Chins6509) told me to I needed to do for this ROM. And unfortunately doing this put me right back into bootloop So I tried wiping everything and re-flashing the CM ROM that actually worked, and Im still stuck in this goddamn bootloop and cant figure out how to get out of it again. I just dont understand what the hell it is about this Pacman ROM and this boot.img that keeps screwing everything up. IM SO CLOSE TO GETTING THIS THING FIGURED OUT!!

Hey Guys,
I tried pretty much everything and don't know what else to do. My phone just stays stuck on the android screen. I forget that the "SD card" in this phone is actually part of internal storage, I did a factory reset and lost everything.
I tried flashing different boot.img and getting nothing. I'm afraid I need to get a rom onto the sd card but how is that possible if I cant get my phone to boot up.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
volume down button+power button try this combination until u get in the bootloader then select recovery. once in recovery just restore a backup if you have one, you should have one
i dont have a backup and i have nothing on my "sd" to i can install. I have formatted the ROM and thats why it wont boot..
If you can get into Recovery (CWM) in the advanced settings if i remember, there's a "format sd card" to make it work with the installation of a custom ROM
I posted a tutorial for how to do this:

thanks for the guide but im getting error mounting /sdcard. and if i follow cannondale0815 solution for that problem when flashing the stock and cwm I cannot access recovery mode.
Clear Storage in fastboot and re-install CWM then try it. That's how I got mine to work
Ok if your bootloader is locked and you have a custom recovery first flash stock recovery then boot into fastboot and run "fastboot oem lock" After that restart your phone and boot back into fastboot. Then run the RUU for your model and cid. easy.
Follow the steps which might work
1, If you knows something about adb, you can just simply push a rom into the sdcard(You don't need to do this if there is already a flashable rom in the sdcard), flash the kernel in fastboot, go to the recovery, wipe and flash a new rom. Then everything(except your data) should be fine
2, If you are not able to use adb push, or you have never flashed a recovery/3rd-party rom/ or you have other issues:
Using the RUU updater might be safe and simple (of course everything except those in the sdcard will lost)
a, relock the hboot using "fastboot oem lock"(or the RUU will refuse to continue)
b, run the RUU updater, wait for ~10min, your phone will be "refreshed" to something like the 1st day you bought it, except the Hboot will say it is "RELOCKED s-on"(this should be LOCKED s-on at first)
c，unlock your phone again(if you have stored the .bin file for unlock, just push it to your phone in the fastboot mode which is enough already, it is not needed to do the whole process in HTCDEV again.)
IMPORTANT: the RUU updater and the phone must be the same area. for example an Europe's RUU can't be applid to an US's One S
This is also the only method to update the Radio software, unless the hboot is S-OFFed

I have tried factory reset from hboot, my cwm recovery, and i cant find a custom rom. I have extracted the rom.zip from my original ruu found on htcdev. I put it on sd card and tried flashing thru recovery and thru hboot. I try doing fastboot, with the system.img and it actually crashes my pc, and when loading thru hboot, i get stuck at parsing .zip
I think you need to ask people who are more familiar with HTC devices. Type "htc rhyme" in the search bar at the top right of this page.

I did, believe me, I have spent hours and days googling, and every similar situation ppl have, the soution doesnt work for everybody, lol, and I just happen to be one of them. My rhyme is an upgraded OTA, from the original stock rom which is an ruu: RUU_Bliss_C_VERIZON_WWE_1.26.605.6_Radio_1.15.00.0816_NV_VZW2.67_release_214911_signed, and when i try running the ruu installer it says; From:image version 2.0.0.134076
To: 1.26.605.6, After 16% PROGRESS, ERROR [155]: UNKNOWN ERROR, The ROM upadate uti;ty couldn't update, please find correct RUU and update again. I dont know what else to do, ive been researching for a while and so now im in the XDA forums asking for help, before i was just searching for anything related to this problem with HTC rhyme, and not much about the rhyme it self is out there for support in these situations, so ive been researching the issue with all htc devices, and even android in general. I'll admit i am a noob at androids, but im actually pretty familiar with OS's and computers period. All help is much appreciated too, so thank you and if you know something i dont, please feel free to let me know where I am screwing up. I can get My CWM on it, and actually before all this, i had CWM touch recovery, somehow i lost it too and had to put the one i have now on it. i also parsed thru hboot my boot.img, and recovery before, , and it said it was successful. when doing system.img thru the PI46img.zip with boot and recovery, it freezes on parsing, and if i fastboot the system.img, it causes my computer to freeze, and i got the system.img from the rom.zip out of this RUU, that i mentioned above. ive done all the wiping from recovery of partitions that ppl had mentioned, and still no luck, and also when trying to flash it thru CWm it always says installation aborted. tahnk s for responding too man, ive noticed most questions with The HTC RHyme, get the shaft....and thats why i feel like im at a deadend, and i dont know if there is some number out there for support in theses situations, because HTC wont help after the bootloader has been unlocked, and it would seem a lil easier having someone walk you through it on either a live chat or over the phone

HTC rhyme recovery prob.
Hi I really need help. I unlocked the boot loader from HTC Dev. Then rebooted the the bootloaderbfrom adb. The fastboot flash recovery. Everything was good until I pushed the mount through adb it gave me an error. Now every time I try a factory reset or try to go to recovery it takes me to the white HTC logo and nothing happens. Please help. The phone is switching on everything is working. I just can't factory reset or go to the recovery.
Hey guys,
Finally decided to flash a new rom (NOS M7) and kernel (KillX) onto my phone, I loaded up the zips onto my sd card and just flashed it using recovery only. I didn't flash boot.img in bootloader/fastboot. I know its stupid, its my fault that I was tired and that I haven't really flash roms since mid 2011 on my sensation after settling on a virtuous rom.
Now my wifi doesn't work (haven't been playing with it much - could be many more things that don't work), but the main problem is that I found out adb doesn't work for my phone anymore when i tried to flash boot.img again. Sure, I can still use my phone as a external drive, but that's about it. Can't find my phone though 'adb devices' when the phone is switched on normally, in fastboot usb, and in recovery. However, I can still sideload a .zip file in recovery. that works.
In fastboot, I get 'This device cannot start. (Code 10) - A request for the USB BOS descriptor failed.' I've tried downloading the newest drivers from htc, updated my sdks, installed/uninstalled htc sync manager - which always came up with 'unable to sync with device that is locked, please unlock device' or something like that even though my device's screen was unlocked.
You probably figured out that I'm not that advanced with technology as some of you peeps out there. :angel:
What do you think I should be doing now?
I feel like I have half a phone working. :crying:
Cheers,
Reece
Which variant do u have ... X920d or e ??
Also it might be best to return to stock first and ten start over again ... Also provide the hboot version from the boot loader screen
I have the x920d,
here's the info.
Hboot - 1.39.0000
Radio 3A.21.306.10
s-on.
What do you mean by return to stock, as in relocking my phone etc... but how? I can't even use adb. I can't really flash roms properly either.
Anyone...??
Try the ADB on another computer, it should work.
I'm still getting no luck with adb on another computer.
What else can i do?
I can even use adb .
Hope that help.

Sorry that i took a while to reply.
I just tried going into recovery and wiping everything as per the link,
i can't seem to wipe cache and system. weird. that's what i get for trying to format system or cache
'Formatting /system(or cache)...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p32
Error formatting /system(or cache)!'
I can now flash boot.img, but somehow that won't mean anything until I can wipe my phone.
Can I try wiping it in bootloader?
So here's what happened. I installed MaximusHD and it works fine. But now im looking to upgrade to 4.4, so i tried flashing a 4.4 rom, and the recovery gives me errors. So i tried the red dragon elite method to fix my SD card. All i did was plug in my phone and flash stock recovery and then CWM again.
Thats when a new, very troublesome method started. When I'm in my recovery my computer says that my sdcard only has 48 megabytes free, but when i boot into android my computer says there's 11 Gigabytes free. Also I've noticed that there was a completely different list of folders when I'm in recovery.
When boot into android my phone shows normal folders (Android, Music, Media, all the usual stuff). But once im in recovery, all it shows is clockworkmod and my SD is only 48MB
I've also tried TWRP and CWM with no luck. Please help, I'm stuck on Maximus :crying:

I take it you are s-off already?
What 4.4 rom are you trying to flash?
When you are flashing the 4.4 rom, what goes wrong? Do you successfully flash the rom and go into a bootloop or do you not manage to flash the rom at all?
Can you post a screenshot of what your computer sees when you are in recovery?
Also can you post a picture or type up of your white bootloader screen, if you're not sure what i mean, mine starts by saying:

I've attached the screenshots, a big problem is in recovery it shows different files versus when its booted into OS.
In recovery it says 48MB free and shows /sdcard -> TWRP. thats it. and /internal_sdcard is blank.
but when i boot into OS i have 12GB free and i see normal folders like Downloads, music, media, etc.

just FYI, you need to use the TWRP recovery posted in the original post of the Maximus thread. Any other version of TWRP or CWM will not work.

Thank you so much! this fixed my problem! :laugh:
I have a one sv which:
is k2 ul
normally boots only to HTC screen (no quietly brilliant) and stays there till the end of times
shows tampered locked, which i now changed unlocked status (htcdev)
s-on
has twrp recovery on, but swipes fail mostly
flashing roms in twrp recovery show success but result is still HTC logo without being quietly brilliant
can not be ruu-ed beucause the ruus i find are i think older than required
hboot 2.21, radio 1.18 version
s-off fails because tho fastboot recognizes phone, adb doesnt in fastboot mode and in bootloader pc thinks it is not attached (tried xp, 7, 8.1 and many different drivers)
i am not sure if usb debugging was on before the phone crashed
so i can't put an older ruu because of s-on, i can't get s-off because rumrunner and moonshine can't work without adb, and basically that is it.
does anyone PLEASE have any idea what to do?
and yes, the warranty is over and the phone has gone to the warranty twice with bootloop before.
After flashing a rom, did you also flash the boot.img of the rom with fastboot cmd?
Thats necessary, because you are S-on.
And what TWRP is installed?

yes i did.
twrp 2.6.3.2
now i have made such progress that twrp tells me it cannot mount int sd and when booting, phone stays on the htc logo for some seconds and then switches off. i believe i have actually made it worse (didnt think that could happen).
EDIT: so i formatted the storage like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2576897 and it BOOTED
EDIT2: the phone now kind of works IF it boots. half of booting times it just switches off, the other half it switches off and then reboots and works. i think something is still kind of not good but i dont have the b***s atm to poke it more.
thank you all for your potential help.
What rom did you use?
Please also perform a full wipe (without internal/external sd) in recovery under Wipe -> Advanced

it was this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512742 which is, as i understand, your work, thank you very much, donations will happen when im a tincy bit richer
and i will wipe some time later when im at home and courageous enough.
You can also try to restore this TWRP backup.
great news! today the phone restarted itself and froze on the logo. i tried to start twrp but it froze on that logo too. tried to do a factory reset, which removed the "tampered" sign until next reboot but that was about it.
now i can't reflash twrp or anything at all, with the error remote: image update error. oh please save me again.
Does not sound good.
You can boot into bootloader? Is it locked or unlocked? Did you reflash the recovery to check if you can boot into it?
looks bad indeed.
i can boot into bootloader, which is unlocked. and please specify what do you mean by reflashing the recovery (pardon my stupid brain)
When in bootloader, connect your phone to fastboot and try to flash recovery again.
If you can't get into recovery, i don't know, if there is much i can do for you
fastboot basically tells me to go f* myself with the error "remote: image update error" what ever I try to flash. right now Im trying to find a way to reflash twrp from ext sd. not doing so great
Well, about your country flag i suggest you speak (or you can at least read) russian language.
Go to 4pda.ru and look for the posts of "MikG". He has made zip files, similar to RUU. They are flashed from bootloader/Ruu mode. Maybe they can bring your phone back to life.
I can't tell you how to use this files, because i don't speak russian.
I'll try, thanks.
edit: and it just refuses to cooperate. it kind of does something in bootloader, but still doesnt boot past htc logo or if i try recovery, it stays on teamwin logo. i dont know if im doing something wrong or what... maybe i'll wait for the 4.2.2 hboot 2.21 radio 1.18 ruu then because i really dont know what else i could do.
