[Q] One S Stuck in bootloop after installing Viper 3.0.0 - HTC One S

Hi Guys,
Yesterday I installed Viper One S 3.0.0 on my Phone.
Installation went ok. Used TWRP by the way.
After the message of succesful installation i rebooted the Phone.
Now it's stuck in a bootloop. I can get into recovery, but there I cannot do anything. It doesn't seem to see the Internal storage, so restoring the backup I made of the stock ROM is also not possible.
Anyone an idea how to get this ROM to work, or how I can get back to the Stock firmware? I kinda need this Phone.
And does anyone know if the SD card is wiped? Or just not visible?
Any help would be much appriciated.:good::good::good:

Fastboot getvar all
Hide your imei and serial number

Thanks for the update. I Will do that tonight.
Also got the tip from Bilal to flash the Boor.img via fastboot and then try if it boots.
Will get back to you!

Hi,
I had the same problem, i had installed the viper rom twice (second time without wiping) and then it worked. I also had the 'no ds card found' error. This fixed it for me:
1) Use the All-in-One-Kit and flash your recovery back to stock
2) Boot into the bootloader and choose to "clear storage" and afterwards to reset to factory defaults.
3) Go back to the all-in-one-kit and flash a CWM recovery version again.
4) Reboot into recovery (CWM). Your /sdcard should now be mounted and visible.

Thanks for the update. I have the Toolkit, but which button is for the Stock Recovery?

Ok so I'm a bit further. I Flashed an Original Recovery I found in the thread of the Toolkit. That didn't boot.
But afterwards I flashed the TWRP again. Now I see the SD card again.
Only problem now is to send a ROM to the SD card for installation.
ADB is not working properly on my WIndows 7 X64 machine.
Anybody any ideas on that??

TWRP has a mount option. Connect your device to your computer then press MOUNT from twrp. That should solve your problem.

You can reboot your phone in recovery, in TWRP select mount, wait a minute, and then Windows 8 should 'see' your device

Hi Guys,
Got everything working again.
USB connected to my WIN8 machine after all, and i was able to copy the Viper 3.1.0 rom to the SD.
After 2 times installation (1 with TWRP Wipe, and then 1 with Wipe from Aroma installer) it worked.
1st install worked until I rebooted. Then bootloop again.
2nd time wipe from Aroma and all is working fine now.
Everybody thank you for helping. Much appriciated.:good::good::good::good::good:

Nice going! goed gedaan!

Just 1 little thing I found. Maybe someone knows how to fix it.
Every now and then the Phone just reboots. Then it works fine for a while. Is this a known issue?
Besides that I'm loving this ROM. It's fast, customizable it just works great!! Respect to the Developer!!

Help! ClockworkMod: "E: Can't mount SDCard"Did I brick my One S?

Good evening,
I really need your help. Been satisfied user of the Virtuous Ville ROM, but wanted to try Leedroids On S Rom today.
It all started with flsahing the Boot.img via ADB, which worked fine. But hereafter, I think I may have made a bad mistake: I launched ClockworkMod recovery, pressed "Nandroid Backup" - without verifying the message - and then wiped my phone. I should have noticed that Clockworkmod wasn't able to mount the SDCard already at the time when it attempted to do the nandroid backup.
Situation is, phone is empty and won't boot, I have been trying to restore access to my SD Card since about three hours, re-rooted my phone and read some bricking threads here at XDA... could not find a solution.
I have used the android internal encryption feature when I had the old ROM. Could it be that this blocks Clockwork Mod from accessing the SDCard?
Can someone please help me?
Maybe there is a way to flash a Ville ROM via ADB, so I can bypass my SDCard-Problem?
Greetings
Ulukaii
Amendment:
right now, I am trying to revive my phone via relocking it and installing the Stock ROM via RUU afterwards. I hope this works while the phone is in fastboot mode.
If this is successful, I am going to post it here.
Does anyone know if I have to revert to stock recovery before applying the RUU?
Thanks in advance
Ulu

And NO you dont need stock recovery, Just a sense ROM and a relocked bootloader
no you dont have to. RUU flash via fastboot should be no prob.

Edit -- azzledazzle already provided correct link -- apologies for double post
The link works, had to use it myself.
why not just try flashing stock recovery then going back to bootloader and clearing storage and then going back to bootloader restoring to factory and then rebooting into the rom it'll wipe all partitions including sdcard except for system that uses the original proc/mount and restores sdcard to default
worked for me everytime

QUICK WAY TO FIX SD CARD ERRORS
Well this worked for me can't guarentee it for everyone else. I'm running a mac, was able to boot into CM10 very well. Initially it just got stuck at the bootloading image so I had to flash an update boot.img and was able to get in but noticed no sd card even couldn't access the sd card in recovery. So I flashed a TWRP Recovery, still showed that it wouldn't allow me to mount the sd card telling me there is some error, however it allows to mount usb storage which is a life saver.
On mac automatically it comes up with a pop up window that says initialize... ignore eject.
Click Initialize.
Tap on the Drive on the side -> ERASE TAB on top
From the drop down list chose FAT -> CLICK ERASE
After it's done eject the storage safely then unmount usb storage from the phone, you can try and tap mount SD CARD and it will still give you the same error. No worries there, boot into the OS and it'll prompt you that the sd card partition is damaged, it'll ask you to format. Let it format and your in the clear.
This works great if you were able to get into your OS.
I was running CM10
Just use TWRP. Thats it.

I tried this after a whole night of trying to fix my phone and instant fix it mounted as soon as I formatted from computer using use mount. Thank u a ton.
Ok just got the same problem ... unable to mount my sdcard. went back to stock recovery and it wasn't able to format/mount the drive.. I'm on a an OSX machine as well.. was about to RUU update but all I can find are exe (windows) files to run.. anyway for me to do a RUU update with a mac anyone.. Think only option for me is to lock my bootloader and install RUU .. but don't know how on a mac... thanks in advance...
oh forgot to mention i'm stuck on bootloop...
nvm I got it done.. just did a virtualbox with winxp and got all working.. wish they had osx native way of doing this. but at least I got a working phone again.. finally found the right words to search to find my answer..

[Q] Stuck in CWM. Can't mount the sd card. Nothing is backed up.

I tried to install drumlock app and my phone restarted and went into the recovery. I can't mount the sd card either to flash the rom again. I dont have anything backed up. I am really lost and need someone's guidance.
I had the same issue one time what I did is I mounted the phone as a USB drive (don't know if it works with CWM, if not just flash TWRP recovery) and formated the SD card (when I mounted it Windows asked to format the SD card; Format in FAT32!). As you can imagine all data from the SD will be lost but your SD card is mounted again and you should be able to boot again. If booting still doesn't work try putting a ROM on the SD via mount as USB drive function and try to flash it. It should work.
worked but another problem happened :[

Thanks for that advice. Everything worked. I formatted the cd card and it is now seen in TWRP where I installed the viper one s rom. BUT! Now my phone just keeps on restarting - it shows the htc logo with a red banner under it and just restarts and does it all over again. I can get into boorloader mode If i get lucky pressing it before it restarts, yet the bootloader wont let me get into recovery. I am going to try other methods I guess but I am wondering if there is a way just to use RUU and restore it to stock?

You must've done something to your recovery when you formatted your sdcard. Try flashing TWRP again. You can easily bring your device back to stock by running the RUU. Info can be found around the forum.
Relock bootloader and run a official HTC RUU (warning: itll update hboot).

I tried that method and flashed utb rom and when i restarted it its stuck on the loading screen...so i tried the different viper one s rom and nothing either. After i locked it i tried the RUU but it gives me the error 150 ...Im on the right track I know...its probably something minor that I keep on overlooking.

I also tried this method but it brings up the error 150. Could this be the recovery that is causing it ?
So you can't even get into recovery even if you flash it over fastboot?

Phone Won't Turn On; Soft Keys Flashing When Buttons Are Pressed

Hi all,
So, last night I successfully rooted and unlocked my One X on AT&T. Today, I tried putting a ROM on it. I flashed the boot.img first, then tried to install the ROM (Jelly Bean Sense). It failed for some reason, so I wiped and rebooted my phone.
Instead of going back to the stock ROM, the phone now will not turn on, is not recognized on both laptops I tried, and does not recognize even being charged. The only thing that happens is when I press down the power button, all of the soft keys illuminate and flash until I stop holding it. I've managed to get into the bootloader screen once, but the phone reset itself before I could do anything.
The only screen I can get to with the Vol Down+Power combo is the HTC Screen, but it's the one that shows before my custom recovery, with some warning from HTC in red letters at the bottom.
At this point, I just want a phone that works. This is a lot more complex [for me] than rooting and flashing a ROM to the Inspire I had for some reason. I fly out for vacation in two days for a few weeks, so I'd like to be able to avoid having to send this thing back to HTC or AT&T if possible.
ANY help is greatly appreciated.
If it's easier, feel free to Skype chat me.
Thanks!
Im confused.. it won't come on, but you can get to recovery? If you can manually boot into twrp you'll be fine.. may I ask which Rom you flashed? Did you flash the boot.img first? Or after you flashed Rom? Alot of guys will say flash boot.img first.. I don't have that funky hboot but I have to do my cousins alot and his will only boot correctly if I flash Rom first, then boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img.
Try that and let me know how it goes
Also... Let go of all the buttons when you see the white screen lol. That means you found bootloader

I can get it to boot into the Bootloader screen and the TWRP now just fine, but that's as far as it will go. The internal SD will not mount with TWRP either now.
Here's the ROM I tried to flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055490
I put it on my SD card, then extracted the boot.img to the folder I have my dab/fastboot files in, then flashed the boot.img, then tried to flash the ROM.
If I can get it working again, I'll try to do it in reverse order next time and see if that works. Still trying to find a way to get a ROM on here with my Mac, and to make my SD card work again. Everything on it is backed up so it's ok if I need to wipe it.
If you can get to bootloader, you're not bricked. It's just a matter of flashing the right stuff in the right order.
It could be that your sdcard is corrupted. Factory reset from bootloader will do it, but fixing it just a matter of formatting it again. Can you mount it on your computer? What happens when you plug into your PC?
Your sdcard is corrupt. No big deal but you'll lose everything. Plug it in into computer and locate the storage and try to find a way to format it. Sorry, I have no clue with a mac I swore off apple products :thumbup:
Anyway, you seem to know the ropes for the most part. If you can format, drag Rom onto SD. Wipe everything in twrp. Cache, dalvick, factory reset, system. Flash Rom.. immediately boot into bootloader and fastboot the boot.img. choose reboot from bootloader. Good luck!

Yep, I also suggest doing a factory reset from the bootloader ( which will erase your internal storage) but at least you'll be able to mount your SD card, put a ROM on it and flash it. I would highly recommended you to flash viper 3.0.0, you don't need to flash the boot.img and its pretty much stock JB with some tweaks.

I am having this same problem (minus the custom screen).
My phone will boot into TWRP and all, but it won't mount (PC says the disk needs to be formatted before it can be used). When I go to reboot or anything from TWRP, it tells me there is no OS installed and am I sure.
Can anyone help?
That's good news!
I tried doing a factory reset from bootloader, but nothing happened. Maybe because the SD card won't mount?
I only have a Mac, with no PC in sight. It doesn't show up at all on here. Fastboot USB, or when I mount it as USB in TWRP. It does however show up as a device in recovery in terminal. But nothing on the desktop. Apple+Android do not mix well!
I'm ok with losing my data, what I'm not OK with is having to use this pink Razr while my nice phone is broken :'(
Thanks for all the help so far!
I do a factory reset from bootloader, it takes me into TWRP. Now is the only time it will even remotely show up on my laptop, and even then it's only via terminal when I do adb devices. Since it can't mount for some reason, is there a way to reformat via Terminal, and maybe even push the ROM to my phone from there? That's something I'm not familiar with.

Hey dude, I followed their advice (dug out my XP machine) and now my SD card is re-formatted.
Get into the bootloader screen, hit factory reset. (When I did this on mine, it took me right to TWRP)
From there, I mounted as USB and it showed up as needing to be reformatted on my XP machine. Took a few minutes to do on this dinosaur, but it worked, cause everything is gone!
Right now I'm in the process of zipping up the Viper XL ROM (thanks for the recommendation barondebxl, it looks awesome!), which I'll put onto my SD card and wipe/flash from there. (on my Mac now).
Hopefully it works!
I'm unable to flash ROMs for some reason. It doesn't give an error, just says that it failed. Any ideas?

No no no. This is what is corrupting your sdcard. Only do a factory reset in TWRP or once booted up. Start over and format again. Then copy over your rom.
When you and a few others mentioned doing it, what were you referring to?
I've tried three different ROMs now, and each fails without saying why in TWRP.
Problem solved! Got the stock RUU back on there and it works perfectly. Just re-rooted and unlocked again. Round two..

[Q] Wiped and not working HTC One S [s4]

Good day everyone,
Thanks for taking the time to read this. I am in desperate need of your help. I recently purchased a HTC One S from an online store they told me it was new never used locked phone. Turns out phone was rooted, 4g does not work, and it could not recognize e drive, (internal sd card)
After reading the all in one i re-rooted it and install the teamwin version of recovery.
Now i never had any back ups or any factory files. as i got the phone rooted with software that did not work. My phone now has no rom and i cannot install from adb sideloader, or an other means. I am new to this and cannot seem to figure out how to get my phone back to even stock un-rooted etc. I tried multiple forums and download links but nothing.
i was able to install vipers rom at one point but despite several attempts to reinstall. recovery does not see files loaded. which i can see on my mac or pc.
the other strange thing i notice is that at the top in fastboot mode i sometimes see unlocked in pink only and other times i see both unlocked and tampered. when its unlock only none of my computers recognize connection.
I also tried boot.img for flash. The furthest my screen no goes is the htc logo, then goes black.
Please help, even to just point me in rite direction to have this resolved.
the boot.img, did you flash it via fastboot? (fastboot flash boot boot.img)
And, one question that comes to mind... they sold you a device as new, yet it wasnt.. Why didnt you return it?

Yes I tried several times loading the boot.img via fastboot.
As far as returning the device i trashed the mailing box but kept original packaging so no return address. I called the company which i made the purchase from "N1wireless" several times and sent several emails to them. They have yet to reply or answer any of my calls. Which is why I am so frustrated.

Boot into recovery, select mount > mount usb storage. From pc move the Rom.zip to your sd card which should now be showing on your pc. After it is moved to your phone select unmount then press home button in twrp recovery. Then install the Rom. After install open up adb and type adb reboot bootloader then press enter. Now fastboot flash the boot img from inside the Rom.zip on your computer. After that reboot your phone and report back

Hi, thanks for the reply, thats just the thing I cannot in recovery install any rom loaded to sd card. It fails. I tried reinstalling the recovery and it still not reading my sd card.
So my guess is i need a new twrc or how to do it from my mac, as now when i try on my pc it is failing as-well. Once I get the recovery to work I will try your other suggestions as I think it will work based on the steps you mentioned.
I am trying to figure out how to use terminal to reinstall recovery. any suggestions or links will be greatly appreciated.:good:

I reinstalled recovery several times now and it wont recognize the sd card. is there another recovery i can download and use? Also is there any instructions for a newby to use terminal to re-boot, everything from scratch. Meaning if the phone is completely blank except the fast boot and a recovery manager no backups or stock kernel etc. what is the format to be used in order for the computer and recovery to recognize the sd card?
I think I need a good recovery rom like cmod if there is one for the htc one s or the stock one if someone has it.
hi i had that problem

I had that problem the sd card would not be seen by my laptop and the phone would not boot at all if you plug in the phone to your go to start and then computer right click on your c drive go to manage and see if you can see it there if so try to format it and then reboot the phone if it works you can then install cwm as a recovery system then you can put what rom you wont on it i am use in zenRom 1.05 and to me its the best coz it like the htc rom that the phone come with if that don`t work let me know coz i have more tricks to try i hope this helps you out.
Theres only TWRP and CWM for the S afaik, and CWM sucks. TWRP is the one to use.
I had a similar problem a few days ago, luckily there's not such a bad solution.
1) Pick a custom ROM you want to install from the HTC One S developer forums (I went with Trickdroid) and download the ROM/boot image.
2) Then download and flash the stock recovery here: http://www.4shared.com/file/1UuxTh0k/stock_recovery.html
3) Boot into bootloader, clear storage and then reset to factory defaults.
4) Flash TWRP
5) Reboot into recovery, sdcard should now be mounted/visible
Then push the ROM to your sdcard with adb or mount USB storage and flash it/flash the boot image and you should be sorted.

I had a similar problem a few days ago, luckily there's not such a bad solution.
1) Pick a custom ROM you want to install from the HTC One S developer forums (I went with Trickdroid) and download the ROM/boot image.
2) Then download and flash the stock recovery here: http://www.4shared.com/file/1UuxTh0k/stock_recovery.html

got it. will try it asap.
I could not get the stock recovery via that link you provided. If there is another link to the stock I would appreciate it. I had to flash it wit cwm twice then reflash with twrc to get it to identify the sd card. i had tried the viper rom but my 4g and wifi doesnt work. Will try trickmod hopefully that works with no more issues

Hey thanks allot for your suggestions. I made some progress. It kinda worked. However I my wifi and data connections no good. I tried the 9.1 update and then tried the tweaks.
Do you know if it is possible to get stock kernel and stock rome to undo changes on device?

[Q] Soft-Bricked - usual solutions don't work

Sorry, for bothering you with this but unfortunately, I have soft-bricked my phone. It's a WIND Canada HTC One S with S4 cpu, CID is GLOBA001 with HBOOT 1.14.0004.
I had Cyanogenmod 10 installed, ran in some problems, tried to find a solution (among others this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459 didn't work) and bricked it: boot loop, unmountable /sdcard, no working recovery. I have tried for hours all the tips I found in the forums but none helped. I even downloaded a RUU but I couldn't install it (probably the wrong version).
Current state is: I can only get into the bootloader which is re-locked (by courtesy of one of my repair attempts). Connecting via USB to fastboot works. Nothing else, for all purposes the phone is clean, empty and oh so very much dead.
How do I proceed from here? In the end I want to have working version of Cyanogenmod back.
Thank you in advance, guys!

Unlock it first, you can't do anything with it locked.

Okay, the device is unlocked again. How do I continue?
Thanks a lot, by the way!

Okay, flashing TWRP worked. I then booted into recovery, clicked on "mount" and then "mount usb device". After some driver installs I can no see the internal storage. Apart from a folder for TWRP and .android_secure it's empty. Is this where I now put the Cyanogenmod file and install it via the recovery?

Ya place it where you want and then flash it but you will need to fastboot the boot.img file thats in the rom zip, you can use the All-In-One Toolkit to do that.

Copying the ROM and then installing via TWRP worked though I saw that TWRP displayed an error, saying it was unable to mount /cache. When I tried to wipe the Cache & Dalvik Cache I got the same error.
Nevertheless I then went ahead and copyed the boot.img (extracted that one from the Cyanogenmod zip) via fastboot and rebooted the device. Now the phone is stuck in the Cyanogenmod boot loop.

Hmm think you going to have flash the stock recovery then do a factory reset in the bootloader then go back to TWRP and copy over the rom again then factory reset in TWRP and then wipe system and then flash the rom. Do not lock the bootloader.
