[Q] Bricked, only fastboot is working - HTC One S

Hello.
My English is quite bad, and I'm sorry for that. Anyway, I hope that someone of you can help me with my problem, and will understand what I wanted to say.
So, at first I unlocked bootloader. After that, with InsecureBootandRoot script I wanted to root phone. When I did it, in "cmd" it stuck on "Daemon started successfully".
From then, I can't run my phone. Bootloader is working, fastboot USB aswell. I tried to install few recoverys, but none of them were working. ADB is also not working, it can't see my device(Probably because it's not working in fastboot. And if my phone is not in fastboot, computer don't recognise my device). Also, I can't "throw" any files to phone because computer see my device only in fastboot.
I tried to use HTC ONE S AIO kit . It show me my CID(HTC 0_32) and version(3.16.401.8), but that's all. Other commands are not working at all.
I also installed sdk and all drivers. That didn't help, meh.
Any ideas what should I do to have my phone working again? :c

There is no matching RUU, but i will upload you the matching boot+recovery. Will take some minutes. Download both files and flash them via fastboot.
DOWNLOAD

I should add that my phone is S3.
Anyway thanks for the answer, didn't knew someone is going to help me so fast :3.

Are you sure you have a ville c2 (S3) ??? Because 3.16.401.8 is the official EU S4 Jellybean release...

oh well, I'm quite shocked.
When I bought this phone, they told me that it's 560e.
But I looked now, and it's Z520e.
Sorry for that, didn't knew that I have S4. Can you upload files for S4 again?

Dunno if I can paste links here.
Anyway I was trying to root my phone with this tutorial: http://theunlockr.com/2012/04/22/how-to-root-htc-one-x/ .
*Yeah, I'm stupid and I thought my phone is HTC ONE X, not HTC ONE S*

This recovery is also not working.

You have the wrong CID for the RUU.

I have checked the link. The script "only" flashes a kernel (boot.img) + Superuser app. Flashing a new kernel should work for you. What command did you use to flash the boot.img ??

fastboot flash boot boot.img and then fastboot flash boot recovery.img
I'll try uninstalling sdk and all drivers, and then install them using tutorial from this forum. Maybe it will be easier, when adb will work .-.

Did you restart the bootloader after flashing? Have you cleared caches via fastboot also??
BTE adb will not help you without at least a working recovery...

Which command I should use to restart it?
And yeah, I cleared caches.
And thanks for trying to help me, I really appreciate it. U're wasting your time because some teenager destroyed his phone ._. . Oh god, I'm stupid.
@edit
When I tried to run bootloader, it showed me this:

Thats PhilZ CWM Perfect, you have a working recovery I'm off for 30 minutes. I can assisst you via Teamviewer when i'm back, if you want.
Sent from my beloved HTC One S using (most time buggy) Tapatalk

Not at all, these commands under it mean that anything in recovery won't work.
Also, from now I can't even start bootloader ._. .
Oh well, I'll just give this phone to the service. If they can't turn it on, and also turn on bootloader, can they say to me something like "Hey, you tried to change system of this phone so we won't give you another one"?. :c

Philz has a option to boot into bootloader. Have you tried it? If you give it to service they'll recognize that you have modified thze phone. As you were able to flash philz, you should also be able to flash boot+recovery image. Then you'll have to perform "factory reset + clear storage" to fix the sd card issue. I'm sure its possible! Once done you can install a rom manually or change the CID to run a stock RUU EU unbranded.
As your warranty is void I'd suggest to fix it o ya own

Soft bricked and k0nane thread isnt helping

Ok so i followed all instructions on a few different pages on using odin to flash in stock, but nothing i do seems to work, every time i try using odin it fails, ive tried using different usb cords, redownloading the files, downloading them from different sources, nothing seems to work, it was bricked when i tried to flash in cwm, i dont know if i was supposed to root first, but that aside, nothing seems to be working.

What are you using? Gingerbread or ICS? Remember there are two different ways to root this device. One for each version as mentioned earlier. What did you flash in CWM? Superuser? Need to be more specific..

First, no kies isnt installed, kies is the devil, and i believe i figured out what the major problem is, according to the box that the phone was in, its a galaxy s blaze 4g, but i was doing some searching online and it looks like the phone is just a galaxy s 4g, sgh-t959v is on the phone, not sgh-t959, i might be wrong but it looks like ive been using the wrong software for the problem.

For this particular forum, only the SGH-T769 will work with our Odin methods/downloads. You still probably corrupted the NAND rw flashing ours, but at least you know what to do from here on out
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480418 and you should be good to go. remember to download the Odin there, I'm pretty sure each version is phone specific to a small degree. and let us know how it goes.

General Info
Hello all. I had some cm code lying around a couple months ago, so decided to try to compile twrp for the desire. I ended up failing miserably, however what i got out of this was a decently working build of ClockworkMod touch. All credits go to Koush and the rest of cm team who worked on originally creating cwm. All i did was compile it using the latest code (at the time) and run it through the cm jenkins build server to get the touch functionality. It honestly wasnt very hard, so dont thank me too much Anyways, this probably wont be the most popular due to the fact that 4ext seems to be the go-to recovery for the desire, but i thought I'd share anyways rather than leaving it on my desktop for the rest of eternity. Some people might actually like it as afaik the latest available version for the desire is 5.8.0.2 (feel free to correct me if im wrong) so this is a pretty nice upgrade i guess. Enjoy
Downloads
CWM Touch 6.0.3.5
-Dev-Host
-Mediafire
-md5 checksum: dc4a4067ae7fc8456034293cad5cc76a
CWM 6.0.4.5 with Touch Swipe Controls
-Dev-Host
-md5 checksum: e5308a41d96a4cd94c97a07ad83ed223
Bugs
-When you boot into it, you get a message saying "Warning: no file_contexts" for a couple of seconds before the recovery menu comes up. This seems to be harmless.
-Let me know if you find anything else
Instructions
1. Setup fastboot and install these drivers.
2. Download the provided recovery.img file and put it on your desktop. Check that the md5 checksum is correct.
3. Turn your phone off. Boot it into fastboot using back button + power button, then plug it into your computer. On your phone it should now say "FASTBOOT USB".
4. Open command prompt and enter the following commands:
Code:
fastboot devices
If your phone (serial number) shows up continue. If not, it means that your drivers aren't installed correctly and your computer cannot recognize the phone. Do not continue until you are able to get fastboot devices to return the serial number of your phone.
Code:
cd Desktop
Code:
fastboot flash recovery FilenameOfRecovery.img
After the installation is finished, proceed to the next step. (it should only take a few seconds to install)
5. Unplug the phone, and go back into the bootloader. From there you can scroll down to RECOVERY, and boot into it.
Thats great
I think it was possible to create spare backups (or whatrver its called, it just backups changed files) with that version, right?
I will try it later @home.

Aww thats unfortunate. I thought i read somewhere that with the next generation of 4ext there would be plans to add support for newer devices such as the n4, but the developer seems to have slowed down.
I just realized that this actually has a decent amount of downloads considering how dead this thread is.
Is anyone interested in the latest cwm (6.0.4.5) with swipe controls?

V6.0.3.5 was fine, but V6.0.4.5 was not that great, you must select options and zips with trackpad, I always felt like I'm working with amon ra recovery or rmd recovery. CWm recovery was normal, but for having more features, I prefer 4ext recovery, rmd recovery (to flash hboot and other images through recovery that is very useful) and twrp, that is very easy to use. I found a bug (I think) in V6.0.4.5 that was unable to detect and wipe sd-ext.(error: something like wrong path(sd-ext). One error that is annoying in trwp (maybe only for me) is that it hasn't the yes or no feature. For example: wifix, that when you want to flash, you don't see the option to choose yes or no. By the way, thank you chromium. Very good effort.

Already did it, it does'nt help either
I know many here at XDA frown on using toolkit's, but if you having problems try
Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit. Its free and works fantastic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1766475
It will install custom recovery. Just install the toolkit, select your phone model and let it download the needed dependency's then click the advanced button,
then look under Fastboot Flash for the recovery button and follow the prompts to install TWRP.
Best of Luck

One other thought.
Because It looks like you are doing things correctly.
Sometimes changing your USB cable to Hi quality one will help
as cables can sometimes work fine for charging but not work well for flashing.

Hi, sorry if this is a stupid question, but I just noticed Sprint pushed an OTA for 6.0.1 to my stock rooted device (S-on) and I'm just trying to figure out what the best way to get this OTA is going to be. I'm assuming I shouldn't download and install the OTA as-is due to the TWRP recovery and root.
After looking around a bit, it seems like the only option available is to use a stock 6.0.0 RUU file in the bootloader and basically reset the entire device back to factory settings (losing all apps and data in the process presumably), installing the OTA, then re-flashing TWRP and re-rooting.
I guess what I'm asking is - 1. is this the correct way to go about doing this? and 2. is there any better alternative perhaps that doesn't involve losing my data?
Thanks in advance guys.
Been googling around for the last few days and scouring this board for just as long and still haven't come to a definitive conclusion. From what little I've seen the documentation on this seems kind of spotty and I'm just wondering which direction to head in. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Safest way.. ruu back to stock everything take ota and re root/download apps etc...
Thanks for the reply, man.. Thats kind of what I had gathered pouring over all these articles and board posts. I went ahead and RUU'd back to 1.10.651.1 for sprint.. Literally just moments ago though I downloaded the OTA and hit install and got presented with an error screen during the update. Phone rebooted back into the system normally, and I went to check the version # only to see it unchanged, along with a prompt to install the OTA for 1.57.651.1 again.
Any idea why this might've happened or how to remedy it?

What was the error? You may have to relock bootloader to accept the ota...unsure of how they are with their device,GSM device I have doesnt need relocked...(S-Off as well so)

Also the 1.57.651.1 RUU is available... Why not use it?

Thats the weird part, it didnt give an error message, just that icon in the image I added to my last post. forelock the bootloader would be kind of surprising... Might give that a try in the morning after I find out if it can be re-unlocked.
EDIT: Ohhh I just saw your last edit, i didnt see that before, i'll use that then. Thank you!!!

Download the .651 ruu,reboot phone into download mode and run it... Should be up to date after that for a bit id think
---------- Post added at 12:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------
How did you unlock it to begin with? HTC Dev site? If so then should be able to use the same unlocktoken.bin from before... Or can resubmit and get another one...

Thats precisely what I did. Unlocked it with the HTC Dev Token. I gotta admit, I was pretty surprised that I had an OTA so soon after getting the phone and unlocking / rooting it. Just when I had everything set up how I liked it
I just finished flashing the 651 RUU and its just optimizing the apps now, but looks like it should do it!

Actually.. I've hit another wall now tryign to achieve root with this. I've got TWRP back on the device, and I'm using WinDroid Toolkit to flash SuperSU to it. It'll show that it's pushing it, then drop into recovery and naturally ask for me to wipe the /data partition since it's encrypted, before proceeding to install the supersu.zip package.
The only problem is, there doesn't appear to be any supersu.zip anywhere on the device once it gets into recovery, either before or after the data wipe. Any idea where it's going?

And didnt mean that in a snotty,sarcastic way... Those tools sometimes cause issues that could be avoided is all I was getting at...
I want to join this conversation.
The A9 of my mom got is a Vodaphone UK version (cid: vodap001) and got the update message to version 1.62.161.2
I've rooted the device and installed TWRP.
So now i relocked the bootloader, installed the firmware.zip that was inside the OTA Download which i've copied from Update-App Path.
If i now want to manualy update the OTA-zip with fastboot in download-mode, i got Error 7.
If i want to update with original OTA updater Up, it stops at 25% with the red cross.
So what should i do now?
There is noch previous RUU-file for this firmware-version thats why i've already updated to the recovery from this OTA-update.
I hope someone can help with it.
Thanks,
Bond

I have to agree with Wonders_never_cease about the toolkits. I have used many different ones and they are great from a few things but not all things go right using them unlike adb/fastboot. You should have better results from using adb/fastboot here.
That being said.....it would be easier to achieve root by simply going to full stock using RUU or system/boot.img in fastboot, flashing TWRP, format data, reboot into TWRP, flash supersu 2.74 from your SD card either by itself to obtain normal root or follow steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63197935&postcount=2 for systemless root. it's that simple...or at least was for me. I never could get pushing supersu through adb right or to work really.

You will not be able to apply the OTA update if you are not completely stock including being with stock recovery. Having your bootloader unlocked will not be an issue so no need to relock it like you did. Use a system/boot/recovery.img to restore stock completely, or whatever RUU need. Then accept the OTA or flash it manually, then reroot. Thats really the only way you will be able to get that to work.....

Thanks for your answer.
But how to get complete stock without nandroid or RUU?
The Firmware.zip of the 1.62.161.2 OTA Update was installed without Errors. But as i already mentioned i Need stock System/boot-files of my last Version (1.62.161.1) to get this partitions to stock. And they are not available anywhere.

Ah so sorry, it was 4 am when i was replying so i missed that part on it installing correct, or confused it with the other question i was replying to at that same time haha......anyhoo....i looked for you as well and nothing was found on my end as well so I think you may be in the exact situation i was in when i bought the sprint variant of the A9. HTC has faults like all companies but the one that really pisses me off is their lack of proper support on ALL variants especially concerning firmware. The phone was released and i found NO RUU on their site or anywhere online and of course not many people had my specific variant which meant no one on here or anywhere had the means to get me the stock firmware i too needed to restore my phone.
The ONLY reason anyone here, who has SPRINT US VERSION, is able to then and NOW get the RUU on the HTC website is directly due to my incessant badgering and yelling at HTC damn near daily about having a handset on the market for sale but no firmware for it in case of tech service needs. You may have to do the same thing sadly.
I assume you have checked htc UK site for the rom downloads......contact their tech support and see whats up. Till then, like i had to when the sprint version came out....you'll have to just keep checking back on here and anywhere online for someone else who may post what you need or some other kind of solution.
Thanks mcbright80,
as you already said, HTC resists and says RUUs are only available in the US. I'm excited on their reaction that there are still lower RUU-versions of my UK-edition.
It is an annoying mess with all these different versions for tons of carriers, countrys and so on.

[ROM] SU4TL-49 100% Stock

SU4TL-49 Stock Image for XT1254: https://mega.nz/#!TwYShBCb!OFxwiUnUO2MiOHEVc8XluNP1uPSf5tTBaVdmyZ-mwSA
This package will flash every image in the SU4TL-49 firmware package except for recovery. It should bring your phone to almost 100% stock. The only image that is not included is the recovery image, because that would overwrite TWRP. If you need the stock recovery, download this: https://mega.nz/#!LwhxyCaZ!NZVi3pA77t7Qlxm1gFQr340SHurOAJEhDQsiR8QFbMc. Install it using the Install Image option in TWRP.
Yes, it does include modems.
No, it will not re-lock your bootloader.
No, it won't erase your data, but you should do a factory reset in TWRP after flashing this. You might be able to get away without it if you're coming from a modified stock rom, but if you leave out the factory reset after coming from a CM-based rom, you're gonna have a bad time.
Deodexed version here for those who may want it: https://mega.nz/#!zxAEHJjS!hqNDjOGJoE3eI3rwL48h45Lovj764quxFsWP9IsN_Z4
If you need the full, non-TWRP version, here it is: https://mega.nz/#!ao4zmQQB!T2VClxKcTb-ePAhHotvlSR3NCxG0tRY1YEhMtti_H3k
If you get errors while flashing this, try using TWRP Mod 3 instead of Mod 4.
Used this today. Was coming from CM 13. Only notes I had are:
1. Make sure you use the Wipe from the main menu of TWRP and not just the available wipe after you install.
a. Caused my phone to boot but go black after this first half of the boot animation.
2. It asks to uninstall some Motorola services and that will persist. Not sure why but, I did uninstall them.
Overall, it works very well (only up and running 2.5 hours now so I'll have to wait and see if anything happens over the next day or so)
Thanks for this package and all your work...
Nice! Thanks a lot!

1. Yeah, that's kind of what I meant by the last sentence of the OP.
2. That always happens whenever you go from CM to stock. It's harmless.
So when I try to install this, it keeps coming back to me saying no OS is installed. I'm using twrp and have followed the instructions. Should I redownload the zip?

One more thing, If i flash the stock recovery for this....will it take TWRP off my phone? I cracked the **** out of my screen and having a replacement come in from Asurion tomorrow. And would this relock my bootloader? Im trying to make this phone bare stock the day I bought it with out going through computer. Is this possible?
Glad to see the return of @TheSt33v !! Thank you for your work!!

the answers to "one more thing":
1) yes, if you flash stock recovery it will take TWRP off. 2) it will not relock your bootloader.
edit: ****** 3) it will *not* take away all traces you have modded/hacked/rooted
Stock.
NEXT DAY EDIT: i just restored pretty much stock 5.1 su-44. after all the uninstall crud there, i booted to twrp, and flashed this. all went perfectly. Thank you @TheSt33v !!!

Haha the return? I didn't know I left. There just hasn't been all that much for me to do. Then again, the latest Witcher 3 expansion was running my life for the past few weeks, so maybe I did disappear.

I did a system-only backup in TWRP after updating, so I don't think I need this, buuuut, never hurts to have a 2nd option! 44 did save my bacon so update was possible. ?

No luck with de-odexed version
De-odexed version seems to be causing Google Drive to fake load randomly. It'll be doing something, see it flash to Drive at the top with a blank page, then it goes back to what it was before. Was coming from a CM rom, but did do a factory reset via TWRP after installing the rom. Currently trying the non de-odexed version, just waiting for the install to finish.
yeah, i can confirm. same issue. the fix was wiping data for the app via TiBup. i use a transparent google drive, though, and had presumed it was just me.

Weird. I forget, is Drive a system app in the stock rom? If so, maybe try removing it altogether with TiBu and reinstalling it from the play store?
It might be. The non de-odexed version is having no issues on my phone. Thanks for the idea just in case.
Hi, is this include the new .49 bootloader and radio package? or should I install it manually after flashing this rom?
Is anyone having issues with the play store crashing everything you start it up? I flashed the de-odexed and non-de-odexed but play store keeps crashing every time. Any ideas?
