Happens ever time when I try to flash a new ROM. The phone will get stuck at the splash screen and nothing else happens. The default backup I made works fine, but if I try any other ROM, it freezes.
Currently using TWRP 2.6.3.0, rooted, and bootloader is unlocked.
Any suggestions?

Without s off you will need to manually fastboot flash the boot.img of every Rom you flash. Recovery has no access to boot partition without s off.

Not my thread, but it still kinda applies:
What about if I'm flashing a stock RUU and it gets stuck on the splash screen (or boot loop)?
Currently the phone has a relocked bootloader and S-ON.
Can't really access much else.
Ideas?

I would run RUU with a freshly formatted sd card. Make sure RUU flash is completed as well and you aren't trying to downgrade or anything. Other than that your emmc may be toast.

Hi Guys,
So I unlocked my phone's bootloader, flashed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery and then tried to flash CM10.... something went wrong and now my phone is stuck on the HTC Logo with the red text that says "This build is for development purposes only......".
I have tried just about everything I have read about, and I am still just as screwed. Have I permanently bricked my phone?
Thanks for your help.
First for the One XL it is suggested you use TWRP and not CWM
You can get it here from their website .
It tells you how to fastboot flash it.
If you did an OTA to 2.20 or your device came with 2.20 you probably need to flash the boot.img /kernel
So in your CM10 zip, extract the boot image.
and use fastboot to flash the boot img with the command
fastboot flash boot boot.img
and that should help you out.
I also suggest reflashing the rom with TWRP just in case. Hope this helps.
Can adb see the phone?

This is the one xl correct, not the international on x?
If you can get anything on your screen, your phone isn't hard-bricked.
First, which phone do you have? ClockworkMod Touch Recovery does not work on the AT&T One X (One XL). If you tried flashing a ROM through it, it's not going to work and it's probably not booting up because the ROM is corrupted.
I would start with flashing a new recovery in adb. Use TWRP, because even the basic CWM is not supported for this phone and can cause issues.
Can you get into recovery? If so is the SD card mountable?
First time I flashed i had a similar issue where the SD couldn't mount. I ended up having to run the factory RUU after relocking the bootloader & then start again. I waited for a later nightly to come out. Also seems to go better if you flash a different rom first like viper.

Doesn't matter. He flashed the wrong recovery (not for our phone). There is not Touch CWM for our version.
i should really refresh pages before replying
Ok, this is my first time unlocking a device and it went well. I used Hasoon2000's kit to unlock and got twrp flashed and was going to get the Paranoid Android rom and Rohan's kernel all set to go. while getting it all set up, I was trying to figure out how to launch the command for the kernel but ran it instead. now my device is in a perpetual booting loop. Is there anything I can do or am I out of luck?

Wipe everything except sd card and flash a new ROM..

reboot into bootloader and "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the stock kernel from PA
How would I go about accessing the bootlaoder if it just keeps loading to the HTC boot screen then resetting itself?

So I am in the bootloader, now whenever I click recover it goes back into the loop. is it possible for me to flash the stock kernel to stabilize it?
that's what i said. extract the boot.img from the rom. boot.img = kernel and flash it using "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
my problem here is that i don't have PA flashed on it yet. Is there a way to fastboot the rom onto it from my pc? there isn't an option to do that from Hasoon2000's kit.
I got into twrp on my device. Do I need to mount the SD to put PA on my device to flash it?

Alright, just started the flash. hope everything goes well. thanks for your help so far.
PA is flashed, but now it won't load the rom. It starts the PA loading animation, then nothing it has been sitting there for about 30 mins.
I have the feeling that I may have soft bricked the phone. I have tried re-flashing PA and even tried CM10, both times clearing both caches. Is there anything else I can do to get past the boot animation?
Are you on hboot 1.14 (2.20 firmware)?
Did you flash the kernel before installing the rom?

yes to both, and I had just read about needing to flash the boot.img first. For my own clarification, the boot.img is the kernel correct? If so Hasoon2000's kit has a section to put the img in and just flash it on. When ever I choose factory reset from the bootloader, it takes me into twrp, by doing this has it already done the factory reset, or is there something else I need to do?
this is starting to feel like a trial by fire situation for me

You factory reset from bootloader? Can you access your SD card in TWRP?
Yes I can access the sdcard from twrp, and I have used the factory reset option a couple of times to access twrp when I was first having issues getting in from the recovery option.
update - I just tried flashing it again and It finally cleared the animation. I am setting it up now and thanks to everyone for their help.
so my stupid head downloads a s3 rom for my s4 hard and flashes it...
now its bricked but i can still get into recovery..
is this the end:[
No, wipe everything and reflash the right one. You should use TWRP so...
Depending on your bootloader version don't forget to 'fastboot flash boot boot.img' within fastboot mode. Remember: **** happens...

For stock ruu you need to be on stock recovery, your device relocked. You can always do that after you've tried it the easy way. :good:
i completly forgot about the relocking...thank you so much
half brick htc one s s4
Hi, so after upgrading to MIUI.us_ville_v4_2.11.16_Eng_Deo_ZipA_Signed_linds6630 for some reason my htc one s s4 storage usb sotrage stopped working and now even wifi wont work, I've tried wiping installing many times and it didn't help.
So I went and flashed stock recovery and locked bootloader I got the ruu file and now it wont flash as I get signature error so went to check mainver and there is a problem it's all blank. I've tried to use mainver error fix from all in one toolkit ver3.3.1 and no luck as system can't mount sd. when on custom recovery windows couldn't recognize file system so i only had an option to format the storage, I didn't want to do that as miumi starts and I was affraid that this operation will wipe some data and I loose phone completely. So what can I do next, can you help me please?
Hi, so i got my phone last week. And yesterday, I decided to try and flash some custom roms on it. My device is pretty funny, I live in Hong Kong and when i bought my device, they have done S-OFF, unlocked bootloader, even custom recovery with twrp AND cwm. Now the default recovery was twrp, I tried flashing some roms, tried different ones, my device doesn't acccept them, after installing the rom, my device boots, shows the red text, stuck there for around 15 seconds and it reboots itself into the same state. So I used my twrp backup and flashed the recovery to cwm to give it a shot, the results are the same. And then at point, i booted up into recovery and it says Entering Recovery, and it gets stuck there forever. I can't boot into the system either. I tried using fastboot clear the cache, reflash the two different recoveries, no luck. I can get into bootloader and nothing else. Tried using HBOOT CL99IMG.zip method, but my phone just doesnt accept the roms. Any ideas?
Thankyou, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Any ideas? Anyone? Because all i need to do is to boot into twrp recovery. However, when i try to boot recovery it just says entering recovery, with the htc screen, and stays there forever. Any Suggestions?
Did you try "fastboot erase cache" command ?
Try to flash the boot.img included in your rom.zip with "fastboot flash boot boot.img"

Yea I did, apparently i got something. I mixed some files from the HTL21 Taiwan zip thingy, with the signed rom. I am able to boot into the os. However once I unlock it it crashes. Recovery still doesnt work :/
Anyways, thanks for the suggestion Appreciate it.
UPDATE: Now the phone isn't accepting anything from fastboot :/
It all says FAILED <remote:not allowed>
This is getting nuts lol
The fastboot is activated in the settings in your rom ?
Not sure about that, probably no :/ but thats the only rom i can get working
I can see it fastboot devices tho
anyone else? anymore ideas? :/
ok, so I got my phone kinda working. I used the htc butterfly toolkit, somehow flashing the X920e recoveries can make it work. I then restored from my previous backup with twrp, which contains system, data, boot. but when i boot into the system, it says loading widget, everything works fine for a while, then it suddenly crashes. I have tried restoring the system with only system and boot without data, still no luck. any ideas?? i have attached my log
any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks

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.
