hi I have a big problem. Yesterday I try to put on my htc one s cyanogen mod 10.2.0. First of all i unlock the bootloader and flash via fastboot twrp recovery and everything it's ok. I put my rom into sd card partition with adb and i try to install it in recovery mode. The installation doesn't work so i try to restore my phone with the backup that i have previously done with twrp. I don't understand how, but the backup doesn't worked and now i have my phone without an OS. When i try to install a rom i can't because twrp tell me the error can't mount sd card. PLEASE HELP ME! how can i restore my phone? There is a way??
Try updating to the 2.15 hboot and re-flash a newer (If possible) TWRP or CWM.
Sounds like either a firmware issue, or physical damage.
If this doesn`t help try to restore your phone completely by executing an RUU.
To do this boot your device into the bootloader, connect it to the PC and run the .exe

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

Hello,
yesterday I installed Jelly Bean and wanted to revert it back to the latest RUU. I wiped everything, I did even a factory reset but RUU tells me always error 170 usb not connected.
TWRP and CWMT can't mount /sdcard as a lunvfile is missing. And I am sitting here about 10hrs trying to repair this phone. I have relocked it of course for RUU.
And I can't flash any update.zip via fastboot as it tells my that the signature check fails.

Hello first flash phone stock boot img. Then find ALL in One kit 1.0 for htc one s you can find it in google or on forum, and flash stock recovery via this tool. Boot your phone in recovey and clean strage and factory data reset. After this flash custom recovey( in my case TWRP let me to mount sd card) In TWRP mount sd card and push your rom in to sc card via adb.
Later i can do tutorial step by step just let me know. My phone was turning only to bootloader or recovey, but sdcard was not mounted. RUU was showing error all the time. Its take me 7 hours to fix it

Flash run from fastboot screen.
You must have stock recovery to flash it.
So, a friend came to me and gave me his newly acquired One S and asked whether or not I could get it back up and running..
Apparently, from what I understand, he got the phone, unlocked the bootloader, but then didnt know that he should install a custom recovery image before attempting to flash CM10, so he used the stock recovery to flash the .zip from the SD Card. After rebooting (I have no idea if the flashing was successful) the phone is stuck on the quietly brilliant screen.
So, I took the phone, rebooted into the bootloader and used fastboot to boot up into a clockwork .img. Everything good so far, however, the problem is that its seemingly impossible to mount the SD card. My friend told me he fiddled around and "tried stuff", so I suspect somehow he must have messed with the sd card partition.
Since the SD card partition isnt actually on a physical removable sd card, I am running out of ideas.
Anyone have any bright tips? All I need is to get the Sd card mounted so that I can flash a ROM properly.
Thanks!
Try running an RUU.

Yeah, but I cant get the RUU on the device, since the SD Card partition is broken..

Ruu is installed from a computer, flash standard recovery and lock the boot loader and then run the ruu.

RUU runs life an exe file on a PC, since your friend didn't install a custom recovery, just relock bootloader and run RUU while phone is plugged in to pc in fastboot mode.

Had a similar issue that you can't mount SD from clockworkmod, it mounts ok on TWRP, flash that recovery instead.

Aha, right!
However, this still doesnt resolve the issue of a broken SD Card partition..
It probably isn't broken. I've never managed to mount SD through CWM. Try flash TWRP recovery and mount through there.
Dude just listen to everyone and download the ruu and run it only way to fix it I think

There is a sticky in Q&A on how to fix unmountable /sdcard. (Basically: Flash stock recovery through fastboot, then clear storage in bootloader, then flash your favorite custom recovery again.)
It would not surprise me if this is the same thing a RUU does (except for flashing your favorite custom recovery of course). If so, you don't need to fix your sdcard before running the RUU if you decide to go that route..
Beware that the RUU will also update your hboot, which you may not want.
If you don't want to re-lock, RUU, re-submit token, re-unlock, re-root, just manually fix the sdcard mounting issue. Once you can mount your sdcard in recovery, you can just adb push a rom to it, flash it, (wipe cache), boot it. (Depending on your ROM/hboot/recovery, you may have to flash the boot img through fastboot. The best time to do so is before booting into recovery.)
@djsubtronic: There is some misunderstanding about what 'mounting the sdcard' means.
If you can't mount it onto the root file system in recovery, you have a problem and it must be fixed. In this case you can't push/pull to your sdcard or select a zip from it for flashing. If you can't mount it on your computer over USB from recovery, that's not a problem and you don't really need it as you can still adb push/pull.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Once my mate responds Ill give it a go!
Unfortunately, so far, no luck..
Booting into the bootloader and selecting "Clear Storage" seemingly did little other than boot up into the stock recovery. After going back to the bootloader and selecting factory reset (which also just booted up stock recovery), I made him do a data wipe/factory reset.. which seemingly ran okay, but the problem still persists.. sdcard partition doesnt mount in neither Clockwork nor TWRP, and the boot is stuck on the HTC quietly brilliant screen..
My next idae I guess is to try and install a RUU.. just need to set up a Windows VM as neither of us runs Windows
I had a situation similiar, when i went to flash, i had the recovery twrp, but something happened when i went to flash, and my sdcard got corrupted,
i cant remember if i formatted the sdcard thru windows, but i think i formatted it twrp, and then was up and running,
or in windows7 disk management i had to fix the partition then formatted...
this happened over a month ago took over an hour...
but i really really really dont think ur phone is bricked... i can be fixed...
get the ruu and go over a friends house who has windows.... hope it works...
Thanks, booted up a Win 7 VM and pushed in the RUU, partition table reconstructed and everything is back to normal.. Thats another One S now kicking CM10
Thanks for the advice everyone!
So I tried installing trickdroid and after it would not boot up I went into recovery to try and restore but it was unable to mount my sd card and now I can't boot up or restore through any recovery, stock, twrp or clockworkmod, Can someone give me a link to a boot.img I can flash through fastboot, to restore my device completely?
Okay so I attempted to fix it by re-locking the bootloader and using an RUU but the RUU is not working either and now when I do boot the phone it only goes into the bootloader. Can someone help me out?
Hello guys !
Today i decided that i want to unlock the bootloader for my htc one S C2. Managed to do that and managed to root it too. I installed TWRP (version 2.6.3.0) using a guide made by our firend, Bipe ( link here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2175411 ) flashing it from my PC.
All went incredibly good ! Then,i decided that i should flash a new ROM.
I downloaded VIPER ROM and transfered it to my phone via USB. Now...silly me...decided to FULLY WIPE all the data on my phone,using TWRP's advanced wipe settings. I did that. All good. Then i recieved a message from recovery saying that my phone is not succesfully rooted or something similar and they gave me the option to install a new SuperSU. I accepted,by mistake,of curse,knowing that my phone is succesfully rooted after i used the Root Checher app from the Play Store. And then spoof... my phone stuck into a bootloop. Couldn't flash the ROM because i wiped all the data from my SD card,and also i have no backups saved. Furthermore my pc seems to not recognize the phone !
Using the same cable and the same USB slot it detected my old htc wildfire.
Please help me to get my phone back on track

i can acces TWRP . how do i do that if i don't have any backup made ?
If you can access twrp, than you can try to use the order
adb push ROM.zip /sdcard
...to copy a rom to you sdcard. Than you have the chance to flash the rom again.
But in general... Stuck at the bootloop is a famous failure.
If you are S-On (readable at the bootloader) you have to flash the Boot image after flashing any custom rom by extracting the boot.img outside the rom.zip and using the fastboot order
fastboot flash boot boot.img
In general I recommend to flash your phone to S-off when you want to flash custom roms - it makes many things more easier! You can get s-off in example with moonshine s-off.
Hope this could help

Thank you for tryng to help but i sent the phone to the service and it appears that this whole procces completely messed up my MTP . so i can't connect the phone to any PC. that means no ROMS,no ADB pushes.
time to say bye bye to my One S i guess...

I'm no expert but if you are S-ON and you can see fastboot usb, then your phone is still fixable IMO.
you can flash a stock rom
