Hello, my HTC ONE S is soft bricked, its stuck now at boot loop. I have done many many tutorials, many custom tools tryed, no luck. I don't know what else to do.. The only hope is you guys, could please someone would supervise me on step by step instructions on what to do?
I would try to respond in details as fast as i can about the situation and wait for later instructions.

Booting in to HBOOT Works, booting in to a Recovery also works.
SDK platform-tools installed, USB ADB drivers installed.
FASTBOOT commands works,
ADB commands - does not, adb device not found because rom wont boot.
Adb sideload works.
what i should do?
Did you flash kernel when installing the rom?

as far as i remember - yes, but cm 10 did not provide separate boot.img or instructions about it.
You have to flash it separately since you are s-on. There should be a boot.img in the rom's zip, extract it and flash via fastboot

Good to know I could help.
By the way you said that you installed cm-10, and strongly recommend you to try cm-11. I think it's far more stable right now.
Anyway have fun

oh yes yes, i only used cm10 as a base rom, something clean to wake this phone up now what i will do is supercid, s-off and then go for something like maximus hd
It can be tough to supercid for you. Hboot 2.15 is a little problematic cause it has write protection. I hope you can do it. You shouldn't forget to enable root access to adb from developer options or you won't be able to use adb.
S-OFF

If you use rummrunner.us to S-OFF you wont need supercid.
I used it and it worked fine. You might need to experiment with the ROM.
Some aren't compatible, but you will only use it for the S-OFF.
Hope this helps you :good:

Lol i did it! its now SUPERCID and S-OFF with Hboot 2.15
it was not easy... i did first supercid with hex editing trick, was hard to pull the special file, but i did some actions with manual pulling by recovery and build in file manager, but i managed to change and push back in with adb shell su.
the s-off part was the hardest. i tryed first rumrunner 0.5.0, dint worked, then moonshine 3.16 - dint worked, got error pretty quick, then i did soffbin3 method - no luck, but it might did some shanges in system anyways. Then, i did revone method by chmoding and sending revone commands with adb shell su. it did something but failed, but i told myself - hey, its still s-on, but maybe now i did some changes to the system anyways and now rumrunner will do is job more easily, well, here is what happened: i actually laughed my ass off reading this lol

oh by the way: a little tip: if anybody would get trouble to install HTC ADB drivers with error (as windows cant find the patch specified), i installed samsung drivers instead by force (from galaxy s3 adb) cause i dint find any solution to solve htc driver issue.., but samsung adb drivers works perfectly with HTC!

I've been trying to restore back to stock for over a day now and still havn't figured it out.
All of the guides start talking about adb or fastboot right in the middle of the guide without any explanation.
Aruwizard keeps saying bootloader version fail when I try to flash whats supposed to be stock rogers rom, but everything i see is telling me to download the one im already using.
1. download rogers ruu.zip
2. get supercid or downgrade follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671135
3. use the windows ruu tool ..... or .... get adb and fastboot installed correctly. google this if you dont know how
4a. for windows ruu tool follow my post in dev section
4b. for adb and fastboot do
fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip ruu.zip
it will ask u to run the last command again...

Have you relocked your bootloader?
1. make sure fastboot in android is turned off under power.
2. power off device
3. power phone on by holding down the volume down key + pressing power - don't release the volume down key until you see the bootloader screen
4. select fastboot
5. connect phone usb
6. screen should now read fastboot usb in red
7. type fastboot oem lock
Phone might restart back into fastboot can't really remember but now you can run the RUU.
The RUU should be an .exe for the above
im on 1.73 trying to flash reflash 1.73, so i shouldnt need to use super cid (?).
I download the rogers stock rom (PJ83IMG_Evita_UL_Rogers_WWE_1.73.631.1_Radio_0.16a.32.09.06_10.81.32.14L_release_254934_signed.zip)
and I downloaded ARUwizard to flash it.
I keep getting random errors from aruwizard.
ive tried finding adb tools or fastboot, but they all look like they're for specific phones.

looks like even though im trying to flash 1.73 to 1.73 i still need to do the downgrading firmware stuff...
im curious if my failed update upgraded some stuff and failed on the rest...
now its giving me

As you can see, internal storage is ok, sd storaga as well. What i'm confused about is that info above internal storage "total space 3.0GB - Available 8.32GB"...
Can anyone explain this to me?
Second question is about rooting. I got the phone S-Off out of the box.

I want to root it but i'm not sure can i simply install recovery and root it, or unlock the hboot first... or something else...
Oh yeah, one more thing. Every time i restart my phone i get the message ANDROID IS UPGRADING and optimizing applications.. What's that about?
Thank you very much!
P.S.
I'm not a total noob, played with HD2 and desire HD in the past with no problems..

Hi,
In terms of the storage,I have seen this before,and it is just a "quirk" of ICS.
It is just what is in the build.prop
You are lucky,indeed,to find s-off straight out of the box.
Check my signature (☺ A great starting point for all new Sensation owners ☺)
Look for the guide by ganesh for the rooting.
Look for the guide by joaquinf for the installation of the custom recovery, 4EXT.
Android upgrading will occur every time you clear cache and dalvik,when you reboot.
Nothing to worry about.
Thank you for your reply.
Only thing that concerns me is my hboot version (1.27.0000) as all guides talk about 1.18 or lower...

Hi,
Have a look at the list I gave you.
#2 from ganesh deals with your hboot.
#12 from joaquinf will guide you through the 4 EXT recovery installation.
Thank you for your time. I'll give it a shot!
I did it. Phone is rooted, installed ARHD rom.
I did not flash their firmware, bootloader is still *LOCKED*... what should i do? Should i ulnock it? How to unlock it? HTCdev?
Also, i can't flash touch recovery. I installed regular one via rom manager from google play..

Hi,
If you are s-off,you do not need to involve HTC at all.
The locked means you are restricted when you want to use fastboot commands.
Try using HASSOON'S TOOL to install 4EXT.
Stay away from Rom Manager.
It is not a very good tool.
EDIT:
Actually,if you installed ARHD,then,you will have 4EXT,as it gets installed on first boot.
You can go to market and upgrade it.
It is not expensive,and it helps the developer.
I just tried that tool. It takes me to htcdev to get unlock token.. but htcdev is out of order at the moment...
I will try again tonight...

Hi,
As ganesh says,do not use HTC.
Check your recovery.
Like I said,if you installed ARHD,you should have 4EXT,as it is included in the package.
ok if you want unlocked hboot/eng-hboot ..just do these steps one by one from fastboot
1.get the controlbear ics folder from here
2.extract the zip and go to that folder
3.open command prompt there (if windows hold shift + right click -> open command window here)
4.and then type controlbear -i
thats all ..it will install juopunutbear hboot aka unlocked hboot
Thank you both very much! Everything worked! juopunutbear hboot, 4ext, cid, root, custom rom! All is good.
Unfortunately, i can not make a donation or buy anything because i live in one messed up country...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND HELP!

Ok you have made a very common mistake (that I have made once too, but then there was no ICS RUU, so I was forced to do some mumbo-jumbo) - not lowering your version, which is a must-have in the downgrade process
Anyway you have now much easier path now:
1) Run the ICS RUU
2) unlock the bootloader via htc-dev
3) flash a custom recovery
4) root it manually or with the AIO tool (temp root will not work)
5) lower your main version using the misc_version binary
6) relock the bootloader
7) run the RUU
8) disable the update check in the Settings, otherwise if upgraded the SC will spot the relocked bootloader
Good luck

I am afraid you are out of options. There is no way to lower your version without root.
If you are lucky and still have the custom recovery you can use the misc_version there (it has root). Otherwise you cannot flash anything with this version, only the ICS RUU. You cannot use Revolutionary again when your OS does not boot
EDIT: as I said I have made the same mistake and now my hardware buttons are almost broken and I cannot take it to a repair due to my Unlocked bootloader. But when you downgrade to 1.28.x or 1.47.x there is no "RELOCKED" flag shown in the booltoader screen. So if you keep the older version and do not update there is a chance that the SC will not check it.

Well as far as I remember the ICS RUU disclaimer says that it drops the warranty on the software side. If you have a hardware problem it should be acknowledged and repaired. But you have to recheck that.

What are you talking about? He can just use tacoroot. Either way, he was S-OFF, so he can just S-OFF again, change miscversion, and then roll back to S-ON.

afaik, you MUST flash the RUU in its entirety. I believe h8 did something like just flash parts of the RUU and that bricked his phone. As long as your s-offed, no reason why you wouldn't want to RUU to 3.18.
I don't know if this is the correct place to ask this but I tried to RUU but I keep getting an error.
Torch not working
Anyone else getting FC's when trying to use the torch?

SuperCID? Yes or no?
S-ON or S-OFF?
Is s2w available on this kernel? My power button has been sticky so I've to move to the sense5 rom which I like. But definitely not as much as i love CM10.1

boot to bootloader/fastboot, ruu
So Girlfriend is finally getting tired of her Sense and is open to the idea of me rooting. Besides the camcorder resolution, hdmi, are there any bugs that would keep this from being a good dd. Thanks for the help guys
Hey whats up everybody I have a couple questions, Is it absolutely necessary to upgrade to 3.18 RUU for this ROM? The only reason I'm hesitating to ditch 1.09, is because I'm a bonafide flashaholic, and I'm not looking forward to fastboot flashing the boot image again, every time I want to try a new rom! (been there done that and it is totally NOT the business ) Which brings me to my second question, Does updating to 3.18 require you to fastboot flash the boot image before flashing new rom's? Evita/hboot 1.09/S-Off

Nah, with S-Off you don't need to fastboot flash anything.
Yesterday I was S-On, 1.09, now I'm S-Off 2.14 hboot (after using the 3.18 RUU). I've never had to fastboot flash the boot.img on this phone.

OK thanks! Now can I fastboot flash the hboot using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2156686 or do I have to actually run the ruu?

I RUU'd as per H8's recommendations, so can't confirm if that method works or not.

So I RUU'd and downgraded the touch panel firmware and tried to flash a new recovery but my bootloader is locked.
I tried unlocking the bootloader in HTCdev and I keep getting this in my terminal.
ERROR: could not get pipe properties
...
(bootloader) [ERR] Command error !!!
OKAY [ 0.013s]

Yeah I was a bit worried but was patient and followed all instruction instructions below (from the CarbonRom thread).
InflatedTitan said:
1. Download the 2 files for s-off and place in adb folder.
2. Download the recovery of choice and put in adb folder.
3 (optional) download the remove red text file and put in adb folder.
4. You'll have to downgrade touchscreen if you want to use aosp. Head to original dev sticky to download files from h8rift. Put those in adb folder
_________________________________________
1. S-off! Make sure you confirm in bootloader (it usually works easier from a sense rom btw.) 4.2.2 roms need updated adb but it may work.
2. When you ruu, it doesn't touch sdcard. But I would quickly mount and backup your pics and whatnot just in case.
3. Enter fast boot. Run the ruu on the computer. It'll bring you back to 100% stock.
4. Once you up and running, enter fast boot again and send twrp.
5. I recommend to get rid of the ugly ass red text on splash. Follow Liam's thread to rid it.
6. While in fastboot go ahead and downgrade touchscreen following h8rifts instructions.
7. Now you're golden to flash anything you want :thumbup:

Hello everyone! So here's the deal..
I recently bought an unlocked HTC One XL, which came installed with TWRP and AOKP. I noticed that the device performance was really slow and decided to erase some things. Problem is I deleted the ROM + Recovery. I have tried multiple times to install both recovery and image files. I know how to transfer files using fastboot, but there are a couple of problems:
1.) When I type in "adb devices" it doesn't say 'device not recognized' but instead it shows the apparent list of devices - which my XL is not in. This elevates the problem because I cannot just push files through adb, instead I am stuck on sending files through fastboot every single time.
2.) I have sent recovery.img's and my phone is stuck in "bootloop" - it just turns off and on in the same screen. When I try to access recovery from bootloader, this exact same problem of repetition happens. I can't change the state of the S-On.
3.) I'm still fairly new when it comes to ROM installation, but I wouldn't consider myself a complete retard either when it comes to this.

I don't think I bricked my device, though I might of have softbricked it. I know I messed up by deleting TWRP + AOKP, but I knew that it was (should've been) just as easy as flashing the files back into the phone. If anyone can help me by possibly providing ROMs and recovery files that actually work on boot it would be greatly appreciated.
** Update
I managed to install TWRP = Progress
I would suggest flashing sense 5 stock rom first ..That would get ur adb working n then go for s-off before proceeding further
It worked for me earlier

Firstly, you can't just delete the recovery, it doesn't work like that. Anyway, looks like you got TWRP installed again do all you need to do now is install a ROM and away you go. Once you have a ROM installed you can use the phone as normal, but it's pretty strongly suggested you get s-off.

The problem is I'm having a bit of trouble finding a ROM and getting S-OFF. I have looked up countless guides and I'm either doing something wrong when I follow guidelines, or they just aren't working.
Using firewater method I get an error the file "not being in directory" when it is in the exact same ADB folder.
Also another thing, if I just get a ROM that support HBOOT 1.09, can I install it with S-ON?
You should be able to install any Sense ROM with your current hboot. Aosp ROMs will require a firmware upgrade though which requires s-off. Trust me, you're gonna want s-off in the long run.
Exactly which ROMs have you tried? What errors are you getting upon installation?
Please note: while Sense ROMs will install, they will not run properly without a firmware upgrade (which requires s-off).

I tried installing the most recent CyanogenMods and ended up stopping because of HBOOT. I then tried installing AOKP most recent ROMs for my device - from their website.
I'm currently installing Sense 5, I'm following all the rules that HTC Support says.
Don't worry about HTC support, their rules don't really apply to modified phones. Just read my Evita FAQ thread and my How-To Guide For Beginners thread, both links are in my signature.

Gotcha man, thanks a bunch! I stumbled onto a problem though, How do I enable USB Debugging through TWRP? Using Rumrunenr it says i have to enable it. It says "Debugging On? Latest Drivers?" So yeah.

You can't, you can only enable that when booted into Android. So first you need to install a ROM, then you can get s-off. So you're gonna need to install a Sense ROM purely to get s-off, then you can upgrade your firmware and flash whatever you like.

Rumrunner says that? Don't use Rumrunner, try the Facepalm method instead, it's much less temperamental.

Alright this is really frustrating now. I'm getting this error when I'm trying to flash Sturge's Stock Sense 5 ROM. If it's a USB Debugging Problem then how am I supposed to flash it into the SDcard? Should I try pushing it through adb?

That isn't how you flash a ROM. Did you not read the threads in my signature like I suggested?

What I did is just copy and pasted the zip into the Sd card and just installed it from recovery. I've got most of it working timaaa, I get fine signal over WiFi but I'm not getting 3g. Any idea? I've got the Apn settings fine
If you're not getting any data signal, I'd revisit your APN settings, triple check them, they're usually the culprit.
