Ugh am I bricked? - HTC One S

I've been flashing custom roms to my asus transformer for a couple years now so I'm fairly accustomed to the process. Now that my warranty has expired on my one s I decided to go custom to try and get a bit more battery life and performance from my phone.
steps I took:
unlocked bootloader successfully
installed twrp successfully
installed su and rooted successfully
changed to supercid successfully
S-off unsuccessful. I wasnt paying as much attention as I should have and for whatever reason I thought I had s-off
flashed maximushd rom
then attempted to flash the kernel for maximus obviously didnt work because I had s-on
then I was stuck at the point where my phone was basically a black screen and all I could do is get the buttons on the bottom of the screen to flash. Eventually I made it into the bootloader, twrp was gone or corrupted. Managed to reinstall twrp from fastboot and get it working.
within twrp I was able to push a rom into the internal sd and flash it (cant remember which one atm). phone restarted and was then stuck in a 30ish second bootloop of the htc quietly brilliant screen. tried a couple other roms which wouldnt flash. at this point I went home (i dont have a computer at my house, just android based tablet and xbmc box).
At home I got the idea the roms i'm trying to flash might not be compatible with hboot 2.15. I downloaded and tried older roms that would match my hboot of 2.15. Varying success on these but still unable to boot to phone os.
Here is what ive tried and what results i had with them:
zenrom_v1.05_2.31RUUbased.zip = Wont flash just gives failed message
Toasted_marshmellow-ville.zip = This one flashed, reboot phone goes past htc screen to the custom boot.img then endlessly replays the .gif (highly disaapointed at this point)
mdob_ville_bm_deodex_2.40.zip = phone stays off and can only get lights to flash if i hold power
Blackout_ics_sense_plus_RC2.zip = phone hangs on white htc screen
Anyone got any idea where I can go from here? Am i hooped or am I just missing something obvious?

Ended up bringing my phone to a shop which fixed it and installed a new power button as my old one was shot for $65. One thing he did which pissed me off though is install cm 10.1 instead of maximushd like i asked him. not that big of a deal but my signal is horrible now. with stock I used to get 2-3 bars in my rom now im lucky to get 1, and infront of my house where i constantly had full sigal i'm lucky to get 2 or 3 with drops of no signal and dropped calls. Is this because of the rom or the radio? Tried the ota update to 10.2 which freezes the phone on startup, then had to go back and get him to reflash the rom again. its a 10min walk each way and I'm tired of walking back and forth in the rain!

Are you still s-off?
You don't need to be s-off to install custom rom's like cyanogenmod but you will need to flash boot.img after the rom is flashed.

Nah I'm s-on. I don't have a PC so not going to bother flashing a diff ROM because of the boot.IMG. I'm thinking my problem was because I never v flashed boot.IMG last time. Never had to do that before. Is it just an HTC thing?

[Q] HTC Sensation rebooting after root

Hi all, I am sorry if this is already posted or answered but I spent all day yesterday searching and reading and cannot find the answer.
I have 2 Htc sensations that I messed up some how and would be very grateful if you could help me with them.
Phone 1 has been rooted for a long time and in preparation for ICS I flashed T-mobil: Download 3.32 from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
and now the phone works but it will randomly reboot. I have wiped the cache, delvak cache and battery stats.
I am completely lost please help.
Phone 2 I think I may have messed up real bad here is what I did to it.
I rotted it from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300
I got to step 2 sub step 6 and now it continuously reboots it starts with the white screen with HTC on it then goes to another white screen that says HTC Quietly brilliant for a second and repeats.
Please help me yes I am a noob and grateful for any help.
Wow that was a fun ride (not really) it appears I did not flash the PG58IMG file correctly, after I flashed it correctly I got Insert Coin installed and so far it seems that they both are working. only time will tell.
Thanks anyway guys.

If you are trying to install the latest firmware and having the HTC log restart problem. Try to super wipe on the recovery and install first the 3.12 firmware.

Did I just brick my phone?
I tried to flash the 1.17 firmware and the last step failed, now it wont boot at all just a black screen the only thing it will do is the charge lite will come on bit it stays on after I unplug it.
which of the 2 phones you are talking about?
In a previous post you said that problem was solved, now what?
Also, it would be better to know what your bootloader says and what you were attempting to do before black screen.

Sounds like a brick to me, but since the problem is unclear, it's possible to fix. I wish I could help but I don't understand your issue to be honest!
I had 3.32 on it with Insert Coin ICS and thought I have 2 so might as well restore one to factory setting that's when I tried to flash the 1.17 and it never started again.
T-Mobile HTC Sensation 4G
The other one is working so I am not messing with it.
I had the same thing happen to me and it was over for the phone. Took it in to tomo and told them it died and after I charged it and went to turn it on, bam, went black and never came back. They never got it to work either and replaced it for me
You mean 1.17 is the hboot?
In this case you installed a hboot for GB while on ICS rom. Obviously it won't work.
If you want to downgrade to GB you can try to run a GB RUU while in bootloader - fastboot usb (if you can still reach it)

No what's happened to him is what happened to me. It's like it gets fried or something. The screen goes black and u can't turn it on or get into bootloader. Tmobile told me when it happened it was dead and got me a new 1

[Q] Install Custom Rom without installing to SD?

As my post suggest I want to know if there is a way to install a custom rom on my Tmobile HTC ONE S without moving it to SD. I messed up and ended up deleting the current rom I had on it. I have unlocked the bootloader, and I previously had Zydroid v3.5. Currently I am able to use CWM on it but there is no data on the SD that I can use. Thanks you.

Yea, that's my way of doing it. It pushes it from your computer to your SD Card so you can flash it in CWM from there.
If you have no /data/ on your SD Card, that's ok. I did the same thing. Once you get a ROM installed and working, you'll be fine.

I have spent the last 7 hours just trying to look through all threads to try to address this issue. Right now I am unable to send any zip file to my device through ADB. However by using the recovery tool in the ALL in One kit utility I can send a touch recovery .img file to my HTC One S. At first it shows error: could not find device but then the next line pushes that file with no issues.

Thanks for the replys. I acutally got ADB to work by using the mount feature in TWRP recovery tool. However now any custom rom I run will only crash and get stuck in continous boot cycle if I try to activate wifi. This whole issue started when my stock phone got an update two days ago, and it completely messed up my wifi. I should of waited and taken it to the T-mobile store but now its too late. I have unlocked, rooted and put a custom rom on it. I tried using the RUU file to go to 1.53 but i keep getting 155 unknown exception error. For now I will just have to use my phone without wifi till I have more time to look into this wifi issue.
U get the error cuz ur not using the right ruu for ur phone of ur Europe I can send u the ruu for ur phone

Unable to locate 1.84 RUU, but I heard that a user named "football" has it but requires a donation. The next best step I think is to try a rooted Nanorid of 1.84 that I found in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698861&page=4. Ill try this when I have more time. Right now using Zydroid 3.5 rom which works fine except for my wifi. Loading my wifi will crash my phone and put me in a crazy boot cycle.
Alright so I have use a 1.84 rooted backup and successfuly installed it on to my phone. However I still have my wifi issue, also my blue tooth does not work. I also loaded the boot.img file from the backup through fastboot but still having the same error.
I flashed different radios, tried nanoroid backup of 1.84, but wifi does not work. Wifi stopped working while I was still on stock rom. In the end I paid 20 bucks for tmobile to ship me a new phone, hopefully I wont have issues and I will stay on stock rom.

When you sent it back you went back to RUU and locked bootloader, etc?
I haven't sent it back yet, I will be getting my new HTC ONE S in the mail in two days, and then I can ship my old phone back. Right now my phone is on a nanoroid back up of 1.84 stock rom with root. I tried going back to 1.53 but we dont have S-off so unable to do it. If i try to do that i get 155 unknown error in the RUU launcher. The t-mobile techs didnt know that my phone is rooted cause it basically is the stock rom. I have relocked the phone and I hope that the real techs dont notice that I unlocked the bootloader and it that its still rooted.
Im cancelling my order, some how my wifi works now. Yesterday I did a wifi radio install from europe, but it didnt seem to work. I also relocked the system and rebooted couple of times, this may have helped solve the issue as well.

[Q] Phone wont get past android logo

All of a sudden one day I turned it on and it wouldnt go past the htc logo. It comes on, stays on the logo for a few seconds then reboots. I dont know what could have caused this but my friend had it for the day and when I got it back this started happening. I've tried turning the phone on without a simcard and memory card, fractory reseting and wiping the cache partition.
I am a newb but have gotten a reasonable amount of knowlege on android over the past 24 hours but so far none of the posts or information i've gotten on the internet has proven useful. Does anyone know of a solution or advice which may help me with booting to my os.
By the way I have an HTC sensation 4g on T-mobile
Not to sure of the version of android thou but I have a HBOOT of 1.18.

Need more details...
Stock?
Rooted?
S-on or s-off?
Custom recovery installed?
One thing is for sure, your phone isn't bricked and can be restored. The details of the device in the questions above are needed to determine exactly how to fix it though.
It sounds like your ROM got corrupted. (I can't even guess how) Ultimately you will be able to fix this by installing a new ROM. It's just a matter of figuring out what procedures you need to use based on your set up in order to do that.

It is stock, but i flashed it from gb to ics to try to resolve the problem. Rooted with htcdev, s-on. Also I installed CWM after it began to do that. I flashed a new hboot but that solved nothing, the next day it got worse and wouldn't even turn on.

you should used revolutionary.io method to S-OFF easily your device with that hboot version
that means that you have GB firmware and an ICS rom can't run in that fw version
while your are S-ON you should have installed 4ext recovery,enable smartflash from it and then flash a GB rom
after that you said you flashed a new hboot
i am not sure if you can do that as your are S-ON
and the result is not even turning on!
it seems to me that your device is bricked

RUU Question

So My phone is constantly freezing and rebooting in apps every 5-15 minutes and I am going to try going back to stock and seeing if this occurs. My question is do i have to wipe my current rom? Or do i only have to fastboot oem lock and run ruu? Help would be appreciated. Think it is getting worse..

Yes, just run fastbook oem lock and then run the ruu. Make sure that you have the latest drivers from HTC (use htc sync if you can). Good luck!
For ruu grab the appropriate one .... Relock your bl like you Saud and run the ruu from you bl mode ...no need to wipe anything the ruu will do that for you

Usually, the phone doesn't get detected if the drivers aren't up to date. Is it rebooting even from bootloader? You should be able to install everything from there, hopefully meaning restarts aren't an issue.

finally got it recognized and successfully ruu'd.It was very odd, like the phone was progressively getting worse for some reason.i am not not getting rebooted on stock rooted so it had to do something with my settings on the rom..like i said i under clocked and overclocked it, hot rebooted it, wiped cashe and dalvik...nothing was working and it finally just kept rebooting and freezing at home screen..Maybe a bad successful flash lol.. im not really sure.. or flashing over a bad flash had something to do with it..I might wait till jellybean comes out.
Have you tried to simply factory reset?
i personally like ruu'ing. i should do the same soon just to clean house. in the end it's pretty easy to get fluent on this phone.
i would say immediately after unlocking bootloader to ruu. i noticed some differences in the 1.85 to 2.20 ota vs the 2.20 ruu. it will also clean up any mess that might of been left on the phone. im also pretty ocpd =)
also htc sync imo is useless, i just use the standalone htc drivers haven't had any issues with them.

Viper and beastmode. My phone was going nuts....froze at the start screen 3 times and reset it self into a bootloop, then went back to freezing when start screen appeared..one of the times all I could see is the notification bar but I couldn't drag it Down. Lots of other crazy stuff happened on it as well...to much to tell. But I heard cleanrom is pretty stable, do I have to wipe stock rooted(no custom Rom yet) trying to find a good one and do I have to flash boot IMG if I'm on 1.14 or is it Included in the cleanrom installer? Might try elemental with cleanrom..see how that works out.

[Q] Please help unbrick???!!!!

Here is what I did....
HTC One X (ATT). Unlocked and rooted yesterday. (TWRP)
Today tried to install CM10 and GApps, got stuck on CM bootscreen, then I flashed the boot.img and it still did not work....then my immediate next step (probably stupidly) was to flash modded boot...still did not work....I just got to HTC screen with the red writing on the bottom and nothing else....
So I got into TWRP and restored to my backup (which I was able to do before the above) and just got to the same HTC screen with red type on the bottom......now I started to panic.
I tried to relock the phone...and I did but now I cant go anywhere but the fastboot screen!!!!
Please Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It can be done either way.

That is what is supposed to happen. Once you relock, you need to run the RUU. It won't boot otherwise.

I know what you mean, when i first got my one x and learned of rooting, i felt i was claustrophobic with normal stock. I Read and read and read some more, before I even thought about flashing roms. But I Recommenced flashing Viper JB 3.1.0 As it basically installs the boot img in the boot-loader for you. I also recommend Cm 10.1, except it does not have camera working as of yet. If you dont mind not having a camera, cm 10.1 is a very smooth rom. Also remember if flashing certain roms like cm 10. dalvik, cache and factory reset, as well as flashing the boot img are required for the rom to work. Good luck
