Ok so yesterday I installed Viper One S 3.1.2 on my phone ( HTC One S - S4 of course ), first it worked perfectly and flawless then i rebooted my phone into recovery to install the wifi fix and camera sense 5 mod v0.2. After that, i reboot my phone again, and it did had the logo of htc and viper team, but when it booted completely, it only has the status bar and a black screen and then it rebooted itself after 15-20s and then stucked into a bootloop. Sometimes it boots as normal as it did before i installed those mods, i tried to hold the power button to choose the "boot in to bootloader" option but it didnt even appeared the power option So right now i can't not boot my phone into bootloader ( even by holding volume down and power button ) and recovery, It reboots itself so fast that my computer can't recognize it to run the RUU Is my phone completely bricked ?
Recovery TWRP 2.5 ?
Hboot 1.14
Radio < 1.20
I don't remember those information much so i'm sorry :crying:

Is your phone "S-OFF"?
You need HBoot 2.16 for radio 1.20. Otherwise HBoot 2.15 is recommended.
Turn your phone off by pressing Power for 10 seconds. Then press "Vol down and power" to enter bootloader.
BTW how about first READ whats required before installing a rom...
First and biggest mistake was to flash a mod that was not certified to work with Viper. In all the Viper threads (the old 2.x and the new 3.x one), it is stated NOT to flash any mod cause it might break the ROM. There are files replaced and those in Viper are tweaked by the Viper Dev team to work with Venom HUB and the themes and tweaks there. Mods usually replace framework-res.apk and if this happens you could have a non working ROM if the new framework-res file is not compatible with the rest of the ROM.
Follow the steps indicated by LS.xD to enter bootloader again. There's no reason for which you could not boot to bootloader again. Disconnect any power from phone, keep the power button hold for about 12-15 secs until you're sure phone is powered off (eventually you'll notice a faint flash on screen when it's turning off). Then hold vol-down and keep it presed while you press and hold power button for 2-3 secs. Continue to keep pressed the vol-down until the bootloader screen appears. Then go to recovery and reflash the ROM. Since you're on hboot 1.14, if you're not S-Off (you didn't mentioned anything about this), you should flash the kernel in fastboot. If you're S-Off you won't need this. Basically you should follow again the exact steps you followed first time when you flashed the ROM
And don't flash any mods again

Um thanks for your help guys, i wasnt aware of the requirements much, but the problem is now i cant get my phone into bootloader by holding power button and volume down :crying:

Hi guys
I have a normal HTC Sensation (i.e. non-XE). I have had my phone for a couple of months, and have tried all of the different ARHD versions. My phone is s-off, supercid, and I haven't had any problems installing custom ROMS previously.
I was on ARHD 6.0.3. and this morning I was trying to update the firmware to change to the new ARHD 6.1.0 ROM.
I am stuck in a bootloop, after flashing the 3.24.401.1 RUU firmware update.
When the firmware update was completed, I removed the SD card and rebooted. But I think this is where I messed up, because I didn't reboot into recovery!
Now I can't get back into recovery mode. When I hold down the volume key and power key, it just goes to the HTC boot screen, then it gets stuck in the bootloop!
How can I fix this if I am no longer able to boot into recovery
I have tried pulling the battery and SD card, but nothing gets me out of the bootloop.
I did some thread searches, but most solutions assume that you can at least boot back into recovery mode (which I can't seem to do now...) I'd appreciate any help that can get my phone back up and running.
Okay, so I have managed to fix the problem myself after piecing together bits of information from searching existing posts.
While I was searching for answers, I put my SD card into my PC and removed the firmware file. Then I put the SD card back into my phone.
I plugged my phone into my PC while the phone was turned off.
Then I used the windows command prompt to start adb "cd c:\adb"
Then I typed "adb reboot bootloader" to boot the phone into the bootloader. I didn't think this would work with the phone powered off...but it did.
Once in the bootloader, I unplugged the USB cable, and went into Recovery and flashed the ARHD 6.1.1 ROM.
Once the ROM had flashed, I rebooted and everything is working fine again now
You just needed to pull out battery and reinsert.. Then power+ Vol button to enter bootloader ...

That's what I thought. But I tried that several dozen times, and it didn't work.
thanks for posting what you did to fix it...every time i'm flashing something i always think i'm going to mess it up
No problem. At least now I know that if I ever get stuck in a bootloop again, and I can't get into the bootloader with Vol down + Power, I can use ADB
Cellphone versions:
Android 4.1.1
firmware Software Version: 3.17.631.2
I unlocked the cellphone, installed TWRP and SuperSu, rooted it. Everything was fine here.
I tried to install CleanROM 7.0R2 from TWRP. It said successful under TWRP screen. But after reboot, I could not power it up, their is no response to the power button.
I could not enter either recovery or fastboot. Press the power button and volume - will only lead me to the "htc quietly brilliant" screen, and after several seconds, it powered off.
No red light upon charging. And PC could not recognize the cell phone when connected. The battery should still have 90% power.
Anyone has any idea for it? I am hopeless
Thanks a lot for your help!
Your phone isn't bricked.
If you're s-on you need to flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot after flashing the ROM in recovery, full directions in my How-To Guide For Beginners thread (link in my signature).
You need to get the phone booted into the bootloader. Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
While you're at it please post the first five lines of your bootloader screen.

Thank you so much for your help. Yes, I succeed to go to bootloader and flashed the boot.img based on your link. Now I had the ROM running.

HELP!
I have a rooted, unlocked S-ON HTC One S.
I flashed the boot.img from the 4.3 PACRom zip using fastboot since my phone is S-ON and I wanted to flash the ROM, however after pressing reboot my phone and hard resetting my phone would turn on, go the HTC splash of 'for developmental purposes only' and then the screen would just go black. I have CWM Recovery v6.
Pressing buttons would make the phone vibrate twice, however nothing happens. Furthermore the computer recognises when I plug in the USB, however both adb and fastboot devices comes up blank. How can I fix this? Or at least get into Recovery??
EDIT: Problem has been fixed! I was timing the 'volume down' presses incorrectly, I'm in recovery now.
hey i installed Viper 3.2 five hours ago.
After restart the homescreen was black so i tried a new restart.
Now i can only see the "Viper One S" screen and can't do anything.
power button don't work.. sometimes the phone vibrate 2 times.. can some1 help me? THX
did you wipe everything before flashing the new rom?
are you s-on or s-off? if you are s-on did you flash the kernel (boot.img) via fastboot?
did the softkeys start blinking if you push and hold the power button? if yes keep pushing it and hold the volume down button till your phone boots into the bootloader. from there on you can either flash the kernel or install a different rom via your recovery or if nothing else works you can run a ruu.

So, I got my new OnePlus One today and I tried to get CM12 onto it. I was following the [GUIDE] How to Install CM12 on the OnePlus One- Android Lollipop/5.0 on the OPO forums, and everything went well until I tried to get the TWRP on there. I flashed the recovery and rebooted the phone. I turned it off and then tried to boot it into recovery but it doesn't, it just hangs at the OPO logo until I hard-restart it.
I've tried factory resetting it and doing
fastboot oem unlock
but nothing happened. The factory reset pretty much just reset the phone. I think I might've messed up the kernel. How do I fix it?
EDIT 1: I've tried reflashing twrp recoveries and nothing. When I hold power+volume down, it powers on, shows the one plus logo, then reboots and just goes to the lockscreen.
UPDATE 1: I managed to manually flash all the CM12 files and use lollipop. I haven't tried the recovery yet but I'll keep you guys updated (if any of you even care).
UPDATE 2: Apparently flashing CM12 made the recovery work. Everything works as it should and the OTA to the most recent CM12 worked perfectly.
You're probably doing the button combo wrong. Hold volume down, then hold power (so you're holding them together), when you see the boot logo let go of power but keep holding volume down until you reach recovery.

I was curios and enabled advanced reboot to try and boot into recovery and it worked (after I had flashed CM12). Everything's working now.

How did you manually flash CM12? I think I'm having the same trouble you were having. I used the oneplus toolbox from the forum to unlock the bootloader, then flash the TWRP, but no luck in getting into recovery mode. It just boot loops with the oneplus logo until I release the volume down button at which point it then boots to the lock screen.

@Heisenberg I'm also having trouble getting into recovery. I've tried the different button combos (power + vol down; power + vol down and release power) as well as the advance reboot options to get into recovery, but they all fail. I get the 1+ logo and after I let go of the volume down button the screen goes black and boots again to the 1+ screen and then to the lockscreen. It's almost like it doesn't recognize the recovery. I tried putting the stock recovery back on using the image in the OnePlus One toolkit folder, but that one doesn't work either. In addition to unchecking the "CM Recovery Update", are there any other settings that could be causing problems?
For background info, I initially used the toolkit interface to unlock the bootloader and then flash the recovery. The bootloader unlocked with no issue...it wiped my device and I was in sync with the "How to root" video posted by alex.inthi. I got sidetracked after the (seemingly) successful flash of TWRP onto the phone I kept getting booted into the Cyanogen recovery. I realized out that I needed to uncheck the setting to keep it from overwriting TWRP and after that was not able to boot into recovery. After finding your beginners guide (thanks, by the way, very well written) I tried using fastboot from the command line as you show, but still no luck.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Okay, I must have been having a special kind of moment - I've got TWRP 2.8.7.0 running on my handset now. I may have been holding the volume down button too long, or it may be that I was using an older version of TWRP, but I'm going to go with the former. I've also been able to successfully flash and boot into Philz 6.59.2
Having the same problem
I am having the exact same problem and cannot seem to find a solution. Recovery screen just doesn't appear, but goes to lockscreen.
Tried erasing, flashing both twrp, philz etc., but nothing works. The phone doesn't recognize the recovery status. Advanced booting does the same.
Update CM-recovery is checked off, phone is unlocked. I've followed every step of the big guide down to every detail.
Is manually flashing the 12.1 ROM the only way and in that case: is it hard for a relative newcomer?
