[q] Need help htc one s bricked!!!

I've been looking around at different forums to see how to get my phone back to normal and there many ways to do it and I'm stuck.I'm able to use clockwork recovery,able to use fastboot but SD card is mounted and has an error everytime I try unmount , been trying to use the command propmt not that experienced I need some guidance to how to get another rom on phone

Try to flash the stock recovery, relock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" and flash a RUU.
Then try again from the beginning

Do I use the command propmt or Fastboot or clockwork

Open cmd prompt. Navigate to folder where your fastboot program is (i.e. c:\android is where I put mine).
Plug in phone, boot into bootloader and click power to access fastboot.
Type in the "fastboot OEM lock" command in command prompt as suggested by torxx and that will relock the bootloader. Then flash ruu in bootloader

Once u relock bootloader, you are done with command prompt... I think. I havemt done it on this phone, but usually you put ruu on root of sdcard (internal in this case) and reboot into bootloader and the ruu should begin flashing from there. Make sure its named properly. I'm sure there are threads regarding this

Im on fastboot right now and using the command prompt still, the bootloader is unlocked, and i dont think adb has dected my device beacause it does this for every command: C:\Documents and Settings\Jamal\Android>adb shell

I am out from QHSUSB but can't flash recovery!

Hello,
I do not know how but my phone get out from QHSUSB and now I can go to hboot.
The problem is there is no ROM when the phone boots. It's stuck on HTC logo.
I have unlocked the bootloader with HTCDEV but it is not S-OFF. Hboot is 1.18.
When I go to fastboot I can write "fastboot flash.... recovery.img" and it goes OK, but after restars bootloader I tried to go to recover but the phone just stuck on that logo again.
I have tried CWM and 4EXT but it is the same problem.
Can I flash RUU without recovery and ROM?
Help, please!

Hi
Did you see this Thread. Maybe this helps you to flash a ROM or Recovery.

Yes, but I don't see instructions about installig RUU afeter unbricking.
I think that this will help but I want some one to explain more about this commands:
fastboot.exe erase cache
fastboot.exe oem rebootRUU
fastboot.exe flash zip path\to\firmware.zip

Normaly RUU (Rom Update Utility) is an exe that you can run from PC to bring a ROM or ROM update to your device. As far as i know.
Where did you find this three commands?
May you could post you question to the Unbrick thread to, i´m sure that there are people that can help better as i can, because i´m a Themer and not a Developer. ;D

Can you boot your device into Bootloader by pressing Volume Down+Power Button. If yes put the PG58IMG.zip on SD Card and Boot into Bootloader, normaly the device will flash the P58IMG.zip if you start into Bootloader.

I have tried but the ZIP just done nothing. Loaded and.. nothing.
I think the there is some other problem. May be some partition is not accessible.
Also I now see that I have to S-OFF to flash RUU tru fastboot.

Okay, normaly the device should flash Firmware (P58IMG) when booting in bootloader. You sure that you put it directly to SD and not in a folder. PLS ask in the Unbrick thread, there are a lot of people that are more fit in developing as i am. I telled you what i´m knowing. Sorry that i couldnt help you to bring your device back to life but maybe there are people that can help. Give it a try pls.

You got the fastboot command wrong, its:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
In any case you cant flash a firmware with S-ON that why the unbrick thread says find an RUU exe and run it

Flashing an RUU is a must after unbrick.
The error you got wile flashing the RUU is because your bootloader is unlocked.
Relock your bootloader using this command:
Code:
fastboot oem lock
Then, flash an RUU.
If you can paste the output of
Code:
fastboot getvar all
then I can provide you with a link to the appropriate RUU for you.
Please remove your IMEI & Serial Number from the output.

I just was doing this fastboot oem lock but my battery is down.
I will charg for few hours and then I will try again.
The CID is HTC_032 and I think that the MID was PG58130.
I will get them again after charging.
Thank you.

Yup. Just put the phone into fastboot & flash.
You need the one that is for your device. PG13001 is Sensation XE & PG13000 is Sensation.
You said your mid is PG58130 so I gave you both.
Choose the right one for your device.
================================================
You will also need to unlock your bootloader after flashing the RUU if you want to flash recovery.

Great to see that somebody can help him. Thx and thumbs up!

I have successfully flashed the RUU. The Hboot is now 1.27, but still no luck boot or getting to recovery.
Tried to flash custom recovery again. It was successfull but I can't get to it.
I think that partitions in nand /emmc/ are messed.
Some other ideas?

do
this
boot to recovery using this command
fastboot boot recovery.img
then if you booted up fine ..then flash a custom rom from it

stuck on a black HTC screen with 4 warning triangles in each corner

I flashed HPSGill's rom on Friday which is Sense 5 themed, It didn't boot up. So I went back to recovery, wiped everything down, and proceeded to flash the stock ROM. The RUU installation failed, giving me a 150 Error. I have used the same RUU for a year now. I then tried running some fastboot commands but most of them give me "REMOTE: NOT ALLOWED".
The phone goes into fastboot mode as when I execute "fastboot devices" i see my phone serial number on the command line. I can't however access adb. On removing the cable it takes me to the bootloader white screen, only now, the options for reboot, reset factory settings, recovery, etc, are not visible.
It just shows me my phone information, bootloader as relocked, and RUU highlighted. I have tried flashing the RUU multiple times, after each flash attempt, all partitions, except the userdata partition shows userdata FAIL-PU, which as I understand is the partition update failing, bootloader shows - BYPASSED. I have also tried downloading the same RUU just in case somehow the one I had was corrupted. But same result.
HTC service center says since I have rooted my phone, I will have to pay 6000 rs. for a 7000rs. phone to get it repaired. Is there any way back from this ? I have sent it to the service center and will get it back tomorrow, So I can only post screenshots if needed tomorrow. I have scoured the internet for the solution and I have read some odd success stories, but none of them for the explorer, mostly for desires. Any help appreciated.
I will be trying bortak's guide in the meanwhile which is again for htc desire.

Well from what I get so far you're stuck in the middle of a bad RUU flash, idea is you need to complete an RUU flash before you can do anything else, from this I get only try flashing several times this RUU or try with some another RUU else, if there is no fastboot this is hard to be fixed, try sending pm to @legen_dary , he experimented for a while to find some s-off way, so he should know a little bit more about this stuff. I'll continue the search, if find something will share, you also, do share what have you discovered, and if something works what is it.

Thanks for the reply. As I mentioned, the moment i connect the phone via the USB cable, it automatically goes into fastboot mode as when i run "fastboot devices", my device shows up. So I'm considering, not all hope is lost. I have to get to work, will be getting my phone back today, will experiment some and get back here at night.
forgot to mention a couple of things.
1. the bootloader shows relocked. On running the fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin, the command completes successfully but the bootloader still shows relocked. And because it constantly shows relocked, I'm not able to install a custom recovery as well.
2. tried putting the rom in the RUU on sdcard and renaming it as PBsomething.zip. but it wont read the sd card. So flashed it manually via fastboot flash zip zipname.zip runs upto a certain point then gives me something like this
RUU: "FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)" So I tried reflashing it, but keeps giving the same error.
So since the sd card is not being read at all, I guess bortak's method of creating a goldcard goes out the window.

Hmmm.. This is the second such case i've seen..
Have you tried getting the unlock token again from htcdev??
Also, try updating your hboot version...
Or, get any hboot from an ruu, and do a
Code:
fastboot boot hboot.img
If it wrks, you'll atleast be able to unlock the bootloader, and put a recovery on it..
If, however, your original bootloader remains locked, then you wont be able to access the recovery as well..
In fact, it wouldnt go past the hboot...

Edit : The correct filename is pj03img.zip(or something)..
When the phone first starts in the hboot, you should see a series of filenames, along with "not found" errors.. If you do, then it does scan the sdcard...

You can't use fastboot boot or fastboot flash with a locked bootloader. Can you get into HBOOT mode by holding volume down and power while switching on the device? Or does it go straight into FASTBOOT mode?

At least there is some progress. Now I somehow just need to get that menu back that comes up after the volume down + power combination.
4) tried fastboot oem resetRUUflag and it gave me this -

The boot.img file is the kernel bro.. Not the hboot..
The file you're looking for is hboot -something-something.img

You can't boot from a signed HBOOT image because it's a plain binary file and not an android boot image. As you have unlocked the bootloader try fastboot boot with any recovery.img file (CWM or TWRP)

i did that when i got my nand burned after installing cm10 beta 6. But AFAIK and as far as I understand, i need to place the flash_erase file into system/xbin. I am right now stuck in recovery. How am I supposed to do it from there ? is there a flashable zip for it which will run the commands via recovery ?
EDIT : this is FAR better than i expected. since I'm in recovery, adb devices spits this out -

Mount your SD card in recovery and place the file in the root of the SD card. Now, if you have TWRP you can use its file manager to move it into system/xbin and set permissions to 755
If you have CWM you can type the following in adb shell:
cd /
mv /sdcard/flash_erase /system/xbin
cd system/xbin
chmod 755 flash_erase

Oh, the xbin folder should have got deleted when you formatted system. I don't think you can't get rid of the HTC screen without successfully flashing an RUU. Our aim is to get rid of bad blocks which prevents the RUU from getting flashed
Are you sure that it ran without errors? Move it into /system and change permission to 755 and re-run it before attempting to flash another RUU

Yes, the symptoms (bugs) you have described happen when the firmware hasn't been properly flashed.
Also, the most important part is: You phone must be S-Off. Otherwise you need to try a different ROM.

Thanks but
Hi tivofool
Thanks for your help! but i cannot finnish this install..

till here all was ok, but the next step failed :
fastboot flash recovery TWRP2.6.1.0.img
i got replied from the fast boot :
error: cannot load 'TWRP2.6.1.0.img': Unknown error
what to do?
I tried to continue without this recovery and did the reboot, and now the one is working ok but with a few more problems.
Anyway , should I re-install the ROM with the aroma installer?
Thanks and BR!

Yes, flash like robertus12 advised.
Or your command will work if you unpack that zip file so that the .img file is in the fastboot folder.:good:

[GUIDE][S4] How to install HBOOT 2.16 | For first time users

HBOOT 2.16 Installation guide​
Requirements before installing​
Back up your files, your SD Card will be WIPED!
Charge your phone to AT LEAST 30%
Your bootloader MUST be unlocked
You NEED to be S-OFF or else it won't work
You need basic knowledge of Fastboot commands
Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP: You need drivers installed
Windows 8.1: You need drivers installed AND update kb2967917 from Microsoft
Linux: You need "51-android.rules" or "99-android.rules" configured
Mac: Nothing needed that I know of
I am NOT responsible if you break your phone
​
This guide will be from a Windows point of view
Installation Guide​
Download the HBOOT 2.16 firmware file from here: Download from Mega.co.nz
Place it in your adb and fastboot folder. For example C:\Users\(Your Username)\Fastboot
Now open a Command Prompt window and then type in:
Code:
cd C:\(Location of your Fastboot folder)
Now take your phone and connect it to your computer (with USB Debugging ON) and type in:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Once you are in the bootloader and it displays "Fastboot USB", type in:
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Once your computer recognizes your phone type in:
Code:
fastboot flash zip Firmware_4.06.401.1.zip
If you changed the file name make sure to type in the name of it instead of the one above
You will then get an error:
Code:
"FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)"
Don't worry, this is normal. DO NOT unplug your phone. Simply type in once again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip Firmware_4.06.401.1.zip
If you changed the file name make sure to type in the name of it instead of the one above
Then wait until the Command window says "finished" and type in:
Code:
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Next we need to download TWRP recovery. You can download it from MDMower's website and MAKE SURE to get TWRP for "/data/media storage (HBOOT 2.16.0000)" and TWRP 2.8.0.1 or above.
Now we must go back to the command window with your phone still plugged in displaying "Fastboot USB" on the screen
Then we type:
Code:
cd C:\Users\(Your Username)\Downloads
or if the TWRP Recovery file isn't in the above location just direct it to the folder its stored in
Now we type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.x.x-ville-dm.img
just replace the "x" with the numbers on the file. e.g. - 2.8.0.1
Once it flashed successfully press the power button and use the volume buttons to scroll down to recovery and to boot into it, simply press the power button
Now go into "Mounts" and select Enable MTP if it isn't already.
Now copy a ROM of your choice (That supports HBOOT 2.16) and flash it. If MTP doesn't work, simply sideload the ROM
That's it, now you just reboot after installing your ROM.
Hope this helps anybody having difficulty with HBOOT 2.16

You need to change your cid
To change it go into bootloader, then fastboot, connect it to your computer and type
Code:
fastboot oem writecid 11111111
that is eight 1s
If that didnt work then type instead
Code:
fastboot oem writecid HTC__001
that is 2 underscores after HTC

I get this:
Code:

No matter how often I attempt it. Redownloaded the zip to make sure it is not corrupt...
Any pointer?
Ah, damn, because I followed the instructions to the end despite the HBOOT not flashing I can also now not access recovery anymore. It seems the new version of recovery was properly flashed, but as it relies on higher HBOOT I can't get into it anymore. It is still in HBOOT 1.03.
Can anyone help me to get this phone ready for Cyanogenmod?

I was able to load the hboot, but now the bootloader is locked again and I can't flash the recovery.
FAILED (remote: not allowed)

You need the hboot 2.16 specific recovery, you can download it here

Never mind, I found what I needed...

Hi, do you have the firmware for t-mobile to downgrade to 2.15? I tried https://mega.co.nz/#!s54F3YqK!QrNjMlieIG65jsaGWS8eXDdLc5FcYM7IEmqTk_pHbFA but doesnt work. I think because is not for tmobile. I cant downloade the full RUU because the download always fails and my internet is so slow.
EDIT: I dont need it anymore, a friend download the file for me. Just a question. in hboot 2.16, gave me more space for my data, i like that, there is no way to make old roms to work on hboot 2.16?

Cannot get this method to work. I'm unlocked and S-OFF. But whenever I try to flash the firmware*.zip I get the message
FAILED (remote: not allowed)
I'm about ready to give up on HBoot 2.16.

thanks that is what i did.
But i though this would have help fix wifi, bluetooth not working since stock rom before i flash with "LIBERTY ROM - The Sixth Element" (that did not fix the problem)
Did you anything that can help ? My phone is Htc one s (actually : hboot 2.16 , TWRP 2.8.0.5, radio 1.20, unlocked, s-off, rooted, and with LIBERTY ROM - The Sixth Element" .

No the recovery version will NEVER affect anything that does/doesn't work on the rom. Since you are using Liberty rom, make sure you are using the 4.4.2 version because the 4.4.3 version is very buggy

of course
