Hi all,
Got mine today, tried to install a ROM and it got stuck in bootloop.
I did a number of stupid things not to mention wiping the SD and im in serious trouble.
I can get into bootloader and CWM but thats it.
Ive heard restoring a RUU can cure it but I have a MAC and cant find anything to help.
Can anyone help? Im gutted....and fell like an idiot.
Ive got an S4 on the three network.
Thanks
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then after the touch buttons stop flashing, just hold the volume button and see if ot enters the bootloader.

Specifically you'll have to flash the ROM zip file from the recovery and then use fastboot flash boot boot.img.
You can find boot.img inside the ROM zip file
Tried flashing ROM zip but no joy...when should i flash boot img? before or after recovery?

Finally seem to have done it and managed to RUU
The phone is locked to 3 but as a noob I spent 2 days flashing a generic euro ROM.
When i realised i need a ROM to match CID i downloaded 1.53. Tried this a number of times with no joy.
Just tried 1.78 and it seems to be working
Thanks to everyone for your help - us noobs must be sooooooo annoying.
Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

Bootloop does not mean your bricked...means you need to fastboot flash boot.img

This little post just pulled me out of missery. Love ya man!
all you guys getting sorted
make a nandroid and sdcard bu NOW and put them on pc,
obviously leave a copy of nandroid on phone also
makes it a lot easier if you get in trouble again
and you/we will
Mounts and Storage --> Format everything --> Now Mount USB Drive --> Put Gapps and ROM
Flash it, erase cache & and Dalvik...Blah blah blah. Flash boot.img in fastboot, and there you go.
Everybody, please remember this and there won't be noob q&a anymore...

If you try factory reset, the phone WILL get struck in boot loop. Get the TWRP 2.4 recovery, its official, and flash it using fastboot. Then, use a stock rom by jaggy jags, or cm9 or cm10.

MY device isnt rooted..Help now..without S-off how will able to install recovery
Follow the guide on how to root the explorer by jaggyjags and than follow the procedure of install recovery and ROM as per your convenience.
Sent from my HTC Explorer A310e using xda app-developers app
No S-Off necessary...
Unlock your bootloader via htcdev.com or anything...
Follow the tutorial by jaggyjags...
Instead of using A310E Recovery.zip's recovery.img, download the latest TWRP 2.4 recovery and flash it using
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then, flash any custom ROM of your choice...
And remember, don't factory reset your mobile in the bootloader after unlocking your bootloader. It will cause bootloop.
P.S.: S-Off is necessary only when you need to write to partitions other than /data , /system and /recovery. Since ROM flashing doesn't go beyond the /system partition, it (s-off) isn't necessary.
Another P.S.: We don't have S-Off for our device yet.

Hi all,
just bought HTC Butterfly X920D 3 days ago from a guy. I realise he has root this device bcos I cannot do OTA update. System check download the update but failed to install. After that I search for a fix n found CWM & Rom manager. I flashed recovery & try to apply the update manually buy CWM says E:Cant mount sdcard, can access cache, blocking device required. Then I look for another fix and arrived here. After all that mess, I tried to factory reset the device via setting in phone is but after resetting n restarts, my HTC is entering recovery again and I opted from the menu selected "boot systems now". It booted andall the contents is still there!
Looks like the reset function isn't working anymore. Any suggestions on what I shud do?
Thx on advance. Cheers
you have to install the original recovery before applying the OTA.
I have it here

Update: I send my HTC to a repair shop & pay them to do factory reset & unroot. Now I pickup the device & it has been unroot and stock roms again. The problem is it still cannot OTA update also.. I thought after return the phone to standard unroot & factory reset it will be able to receive update. No luck here.. any advise?
Waste MYR60 for this. That's about 20usd. Demmm

maybe there is a hardware problem on ur phone before going to repair it from the service center well flash it with the RIFF BOX its a universal flasher that can flash almost every bricked phone no matter its hard brick or soft brick or fully dead.
Did you try the software version 1.43.720.2 available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2225776?
In that case, working flashable zip's that don't bootloop are available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40385554&postcount=76
The download links for the zip files provided by OP misses some necessary config files in the /system/etc folder due to which the ROM doesn't boot. I patched it up, and uploaded it (second link).
Hi,
Can we flash this stock rom using twrp recovery? Or should we use only cwm recovery?

Try to install TWRP Recovery if that fials, then CWM Recovery
Do a complete data wipe from recovery
Install a stable ROM
Unroot your phone by following a good rooting guide
Now, root it properly

Heres what to do:
-Flash a recovery, TWRP etc. or stick to current recovery
-Download any rom, CM10.2 suggested
-Factory reset
-Flash Rom
-Flash Gapps
Relock the bootloader and then unlock bootloader again.
And flash yannou recovery first,and flash the stock rom and if u partitioned your sd card delete the partitions and create again(backup ur sd-card )
And then flash new rom
