Hi guys
I hope this is the right forum here, but I have still the same problem after asking google for hours.
I unlocked my one s via htcdev and the I want to install trickdroid but after flashing the boot.img nothing works any longer.
At the moment I get team win recovery running and I try to install cyanogen but it doesn't load. There is only the boot animation.
Hopefully you can help me to get anything running on my one s.

What hboot/exact steps for flashing? S3 or S4 processor?
Whats the exact rom and version you're trying to flash?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Check the HBOOT version that you are using with that required. That is the biggest problem when it comes to bootloops in this phone.
Basic question - are you flashing the correct boot.img for the ROM you want.
ie for Cyanogenmod you need to flash the exact boot.img from that ROM.
Thanks for your answer.
At the moment I am running clockwork as recovery. I've tried to flash trickdroid and I used these instructions at
trickdroid.org for the international one s. But after flashing the boot.img and doing fastboot erase cache
nothing happens and I couldn't load anything anymore.
PS: My phone has a S4 processor (with 1,5GHz is this right?)

Can I reflash my originial stock rom? I have no backup.
I found an instruction at usp-forum.de/htc-one-s-root-flash-hack/87944-how-to-htc-one-s-stock-rom-wiederherstellen.html - it worked fine,
I flashed the stock_recovery.img with "fastboot flash recovery stock_recovery.img" and the I did "fastboot oem lock".
I also downloaded a installer exe with the RUU - it found my device and started to install, but it stopped sometimes and said, that
I have a wrong installer or RUU (something like signature error 132). Where and how can I find the right RUU?
I have a CM ROM with Android 4.2.2 running now.
Whenever I try a 4.3 or 4.4 ROM in TWR or CWR I get a failed error during flashing.
If I fastboot flash one of the newer recoveries like the ones listed in the 4.4 rom threads, the phone will just go black when it tries to enter recovery mode and I have to flash back one of the regular recoveries to get back into the phone.
I am pretty sure that the phone is failing flashing the newer mods because the two recoveries I am trying to use can't handle them, but why wont the newer recoveries work when I fastboot flash them, flashboot reads successful.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
What is the filename of the new recovery you're trying to flash? And what is the command you're using?

Just tried it. Still just goes to a black screen when I try to enter recovery, and then it reboots again into CyanogenMod
Could it be because I am s-on?
Better to be S-off (not mandatory I think), What is your hboot?
Try with latest TWRP or Philz touch recovery to see if it the same
Okay I got S-Off but it still won't boot to any recoveries newer than TWRP 2.6.3.0 or CWMR 6.0.3.1
It's hard to tell what's gone wrong but now that you're s-off you should try running an RUU so you can start with a clean slate.

Just ran 3.18 RUU and it was successful. Can you link me to the recovery that you're using?
The SCID + S-OFF + RUU 3.18 seemed to have done the trick!

If you are looking to flash a 4.3 or lower Rom TWRP 2.6.3.0 will be fine.
If you want to go to 4.4 you can try this custom TWRP:

I will give it a whirl. Thanks! Any suggestion on which 4.4 is most stable? I tried the beanstalk 4.4 build but after about five mins of using it, it devolved into boot loops. I also tried the official CM 11 nightly but it wouldn't even post. Maybe it will work better with the new twrp.
Sorry, but asking which ROM/kernel is best/most stable isn't allowed here. This is because to say one is better/faster/more stable is to infer that the other ROMs are inferior in some way. This isn't fair to the devs who spend countless hours of their spare time providing us with these awesome ROMs free of charge. It's simply a matter of flashing and testing for yourself, it only takes a few minutes to flash a ROM. Reading the last few pages in a ROM thread goes a long way too, you'll find out pretty fast how the ROM is performing.

Hiya. Any help appreciated here, Got hold of a Rogers One X (evita)
Heres where I am at right now:
I unlocked the bootloader and attempted to flash CM11 (Got an error regarding update package) *I made no backup- Noob, I know.*
Now, at the very most all I can get into is CWM/TWRP (I can flash both of these without issue using fastboot)
I have attempted to re-lock the bootloader (which says relocked) but I have tried the 2 rogers RUU files I managed to find and both fail with an error 115 and leave me on the htc logo, and boot to bootloader only.
I tried to flash some custom roms, some seem to flash ok but just boot-loop.
I am not SuperCID, and the phone is S-ON.
Hboot-2.14.0000
Radio-0.23a.32.09.29
Nov 26, 2012
I cannot figure what to do next. I dont care what goes on the phone as long as i can get it working. Its been a long time since I messed with android, I only bought this phone for this reason lol, but I made the mistake of staying up too late and probably skipping half of the tutorials i was following.
Any help appreciated.
:laugh:
What version of TWRP are you using? Why did you relock the bootloader? You should unlock that again. Did you flash the boot.img from the ROM zip via fastboot after flashing the ROM in TWRP? You need to do this because you're s-on. You should read the Evita FAQ thread in my signature, as well as the How-To Guide For Beginners thread.

Wow, timmaaa, thanks for the superfast answer chap!
So, unlock the bootloader, flash the Rom (CM11), then the Boot.img extracted from the rom via fastboot?
Sounds like a plan. I will try that now. I think to be honest, I came home last night and ended up following a bit of one tut, a bit of another, and never really read properly. Call it friday evening alcohol induced noobness syndrome.
That should be it. You need to make sure you use the correct version of TWRP though, you're looking for the unofficial modified TWRP 2.6.3.0 by jrior001 in our Original Android Development section.

Thank you. The boot.img thing got me a bit further so far. I will get that version of TWRP installed and try the CM11 again, as i think thats where I want to be at. It should be as simple as CM11 flash, Boot.img flash, then Gapps and im done, right?
Perform a full wipe (cache/dalvik cache/factory reset/system), flash CM, flash gapps, flash boot.img, reboot into ROM.

What is the filename of the ROM zip you flashed? Did you check the md5 of the file after you downloaded it? Are you sure the flashing of the boot.img was successful?
Timmaaa, it seems it just took ages. I went downstairs for some juice, came back up and there it was, the setup screen! Beautiful.
Thanks for the help, it seems its not the technical i need to brush up on, but my paying attention and reading - lol!

Hi guys, a few day ago my One SV had some problems, rebooting itself and runs very slowly; so i tryed to do something like root it, but not knowing what i'm doing 'cause i don't have much time.
Probably installing a wrong rom, now I'm stuck in the bootloader with S-ON Tampered, Locked, and Security Warning flags.
The phone stuck with htc logo, i only manage to go into bootloader, pdanet gives me sync error, twrp recovery doesn't work anymore.
Is there something I can do now?

As long as your device is Locked, you can't flash a custom recovery.
So unlock your device at htcdev.com, flash Twrp recovery and flash back a working rom.
Use a Android 4.1.2 rom, otherwise you will have problems with noisy sound.

How do you mount the sd?
At least pull it out of your device and put it into your PC and copy needed files in this way.
One thing i could not solve earlier (because of bad internet connection): did you already install the Android 4.2.2 update or what was your software running on your device before? Thats important to give you the right rom for your firmware!
I'll give you the links anyway:
4.1.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2254384
4.2.2 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2512742
Rumrunner & moonshine are confirmed working for your hboot, but which you should use at least also depends on your previous software.

I installed the 4.2.2 versions, seems completed but phone remains with black screen showing only the top bar with the clock, then reboot itself; sometimes after reboot it shows the bottom clock and lock, you can also unlock it, but then it reboots;
One time it shows me the backgroud.
Maybe it's a motherboard problem, what do you think?
Thanks

anyway after installing the rom, from twrp internal storage is 0 MB
Then i'm running out of ideas
As the roms worked for other people, i also start thinking thats something bugged with your device.
You checked md5sum of the roms? Using latest TWRP recovery?

I don't know the name of the tool (i'm at work), but you will find it with google search, i think.
In recovery this is not a problem, its only to check on your pc, if the downloaded file is the same as the upload.

Hey guys,
today I got my HTC One S s4. I directly opened the bootloader, installed twrp2.5.0.0 and flashed vanir rom. Afterwards I stuck in a bootloop. Went back into recovery and flashed TwistedKat, next bootloop. Flashed twrp2.6.3.0 from the cm11.2 thread. Reboot into recovery and installed the cm11 rom another time bootloop. So i flashed ClockworkMod 6.0.4.5 and flashed cm11 another time and bootloop. Now I don't really don't know what to do and what the problem is.
Hope you guys can help me out
