One S Wiped, Detection Error in Windows - HTC One S

Hi all,
I'm trying to save a relative's HTC One S which got its internal storage wiped.
Currently I can access Hboot, fastboot, and recovery (that's it) but I get the error in the attachment when I'm in fastboot USB
I'm unable to mount the internal storage or flash a new recovery too.
Information about the phone:

In fastboot usb do you have fastboot command recognize the device? If you issue "fastboot devices" what you get?

When I type fastboot devices nothing appears.

remove old htc drivers and htc sync too, download and install these latest drivers ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2217396 ) , then try connect fastboot again . If nothing happens tell us.
if you use windows 8.1 try these, same procedure ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544146 )

I got it detected on another computer;
I relocked the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" but now it doesn't enter recovery mode, and has *** SECURITY WARNING *** at the top of the screen

what exactly you did when the computer detected your phone, what steps and stuff you used.

Typed "fastboot devices" to see if the phone was connected
Typed "fastboot oem lock" to relock bootloader
Used WinDroid Universal HTC Toolkit to flash TWRP 2.7.0.0

Bootloader need to be UNlocked when installing recovery, now you need to go back to stock, unlock re locked bootloader and then put recovery. Thats why the security messege appears.

Okay thanks for that! I got TWRP 2.6.1.0 installed (anything higher would cause a reboot loop) and have Internal SDcard mounted in recovery mode. Where do I go from here? I'm just looking to go back to a stock device (no more hassles)
Thanks again!

I guess find an RUU that matches your device. You can run a new RUU as well.

That worked!
Thanks to everyone

Can you tell us what RUU you used?
Thanks!

let me get this straight ..
when you connect the phone from bootloader to PC ..whats the phone is saying ?
HBOOT or FASTBOOT USB ?
if its saying HBOOT ..press power button once ..that will take you to FASTBOOT USB
if its FASTBOOT USB then you are onnected properly
now to test the connection
open command window from the adb/fastboot folder of your PC (if windows hold shift + right click -> open command window here)
and type this
fastboot devices
it should show your device ..and the rest you follow from the guide

[Q] Having a lot of problems after rooting...

Hi,
I'm having a lot of problems after rooting my device.
I can get into the Bootloader and Recovery, so I'm certain it's not bricked.
Here is my screen in bootloader:

Now, when I load fastboot and connect it to the USB, it says "fastboot usb" but "adb devices" doesn't show it in the list.
I had it working when I booted it into CM10, but I needed to get it to s-off in order to SIM unlock it, but "adb devices" would NOT pick it up, in bootloader OR CM10.1 (Yes I checked all settings from within CM10, allowing debugging and root etc).
I then decided to pay $14.99 for an unlock code to save the hassle of going through the s-off problems as I couldn't detect it using revolution or adb. Turns out only stock rom will allow SIM Unlock so I tried to flash a stock rom, several different ones now and for some reason it didn't get past the splash screen on any of them. So I tried flashing PD59IMG.zip which looked like it worked, but then: Splash screen.
I'm now completely stuck. Please help.
Fixed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100182&highlight=stock+rom
Use "Fastboot Devices" when in fastboot and see if it recognizes it then. Also from your hboot it looks like you have a mytouch 4g slide instead of a mytouch 4g. If you are unlocked but have s-on you have to flash the kernal before flashing the rom. Its frustrating but pretty easy if you follow these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1508556
Please go to the mytouch 4g slide forums, you have a doubleshot, these are the glacier forums.

So did you install CWR already, or are you still on stock recovery? Reinstalling drivers for your phone sounds like what might help out.

You need the proper drivers installed for the device in fastboot mode also. They are each their own device, you would need to install the proper drivers for the phone in both adb and fastboot modes. I did this a few days ago when setting up the phone and Android SDK on Windows 8 and I had to install the HTC driver for them separately.

since you are on S-ON you have to flash the boot.img of the rom via fastboot command
or flash 4ext recovery and enable smartflash from it before flashing the rom
as you understand in any case you need sdk tools(adb and fastboot) on your pc

I'm S-on, so flashing recoveries from the SD card isn't possible.

Try following method 2 in this guide( through updating via PG58IMG.zip file) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599816. Be carefule about the md5 checksum of the recovery image. Double check before flashing!!
After this, boot into recovery(from the bootloader menu, select appropriate superuser.zip file(for rooting, search xda ...there are many options) and flash root. You now have a custom recovery and are rooted. Now you can flash any custom rom.
All the above assuming you can somehow transfer files to your SD card through a card reader or any other means...
NOTE: Delete the PG58IMG.zip after flashing recovery.

Still won't work. I have tried flashing stock firmwares, stock and non-stock recoveries, reflashing root.zip, restore from known good backups, nothing has worked. Phone is stuck at first HTC logo screen and will go no further, and with no USB connectivity, it's impossible for me to flash even PG58IMGs' because the phone is S-on.
Maybe this could work for you...just a suggestion

Ok, from your reply i gather that even though you transferred the PG581MG to your SD card, the phone did not update when your got to the bootloader menu. I do not think being S-ON will prevent you from installing from the zip file...but maybe i am wrong. Hey now all i can think is this:
Turn off your phone, remove the battery, wait for some time(~10seconds), then put the battery back in. Now press Power +Vol down switch together. Now at the boot loader menu select Fastboot and press Power button. Connect your phone to your PC now and wait. The check if the next screen shows 'FASTBOOT USB'.
If you get 'FASTBOOT USB' in the next screen, then you have multiple options, but for you i would suggest that you download the latest RUU for the phone depending on your region and cid. Then run the ruu while the device is still in FASTBOOT USB mode. This will restore your phone's firmware recovery and rom back to stock.
But if your phone does not show fastboot usb then i'm stumped dude...maybe the experts here in our sensation community will be able to help out....
All the best ...and report if anything improves...

Of course. the img is either very well hidden or not available from the website :-/
Never mind. I found once elsewhere except...
I can't use fastboot or adb as the phone is not being recognised using usb.
Phone constantly rebooting so get the usb connected, then disconnected dings but won't stay awake long enough to lock in.
If I load the bootloader first than try I get all sorts of device not found errors.
"adb > devices" reveals nothing
"adb reboot-bootloader" = "error device not found"
etc.
(BTW all these work on my HTC One so it's more likely my Sensation that's not set up right here. In fact my Sensation used to work via USB, now it doesn't)

Use volume down and power to boot into hboot, from hboot use the volume buttons to select fastboot and use power to select it. Connect the device to the computer via USB and wait for drivers to install if necessary. Then you can use the fastboot commands to flash the recovery.img use
Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is the name of the .IMG you have downloaded and placed into your fastboot path.

Ok
First I recommend you to unlock your bootloader.
So if you are in bootloader and your device is not recognised I think it´s a driver issue.
If you allready checked it check it once more or update your tools (ADB, fastboot)
If nothing helps you could go to recovery and format your device (not only wipe format) should be clear that all data on device is lost.
Try different recoverys some people report that philz also works fine on M_4. (try install new rom option on philz).
DONT flash stock sense 6 ROM (wrong partition layout for this hboot) with this hboot rather take 5.5.
I´m sorry but without get connectet via ADB or fastboot I think there is no chance to get it working again.

I can not access recovery to wipe anything out, on bootloader if i choose to wipe it attempts to load recovery which goes into download mode. The device comes up as "Device failed emulation" on Windows 8

I tell you in short terms:
If you can´t get a fastboot connection to your device it looks very bad to bring your device back.
For wiping something you need recovery for flashing new recovery you need fastboot.
For flashing a new firmware to fix messed up partitions you need fastboot.
And first of all to unlock your bootloader you need fastboot.
You see all ends up with fastboot.
As what the device is shown in the manager of windows?
Better to use Windows 7 there are much driver problems people reporting on win 8

Ok, I will use a win 7 pc and let you know

If you have a connection via fastboot you first have to decide what ROM you want, search for the matching firmware.
for example flash the latest firmware for M_4... 4.09.401.3 from here (new partition layout for e.g. sense 6):
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzCFBBNdXagdcEMybkdBME5iUE0/edit
After that flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 or philz and format all you have to try one of this recoverys should work.
Next push or sideload a ROM via adb I recommend you one them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921
You can decide what you want rooted or not it doesn´t matter.
After installing with succsess try to reboot that´s it.

I encountered a similar issue when playing around with returning my device to stock. I flashed stock recovery, then re-locked my bootloader. What is the downloading screen you're seeing? Is it the stock recovery screen?
To fix, i had to change CID back to stock (for me that was, CWS__001)
Unlock bootloader again, using HTC unlock.bin (unlock.bin wouldn't work when i was on super cid)
Flash custom recovery TWRP 2.6.3.0 (I'm not sure if 2.7.1.1 works with the old partition layout, so i used this version until i had upgraded to hboot 2.22, then I flashed 2.7.1.1. This may be an unnecessary step, but it always worked for me)
Once twrp was working again...
Flash stock hboot 2.22 found in the dev section
Flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 (again, might be an unnecessary step)
Boot to recovery
From TWRP, adb push the sense 6 rom i wanted to flash (IC 3.07 in my case)
After the push completed, flash ROM and reboot and all was good
As you can see, the steps i took require that fastboot and adb drivers work flawlessly, especially when pushing ROM to the device using abd.
If any of this seems unfamiliar, then don't do these steps. Again, this is just what i did when i flashed stock recovery and re-locked bootloader with a ROM that wouldn't boot.

Did you get fastboot working yet? Does "fastboot devices" show your device? You can't do anything until fastboot works...but I imagine it worked at some point, since you unlocked and re-locked your device.
You can't install recovery because your bootloader is locked. And you can't unlock your bootloader until you change your CID back to whatever it was when you created the unlock.bin file on the HTC website.
Are you getting this error when you attempt to unlock?
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)

Yep! Windows 8 sucks with drivers and didn't work so had to switch to a different laptop!

That's what i had to do when i first tried to root my phone. I was on Windows 7, but it was an old install and had all kinds of software on it that might have been preventing usb from working (iTunes, HTC Sync, some other random software, etc.) Sometimes, I would even have trouble connecting an external HD!
I ended up installing a clean copy of XP on an old computer that i now use strictly for flashing stuff to my phone.
New problem
I have 4.3 on my HTC now and have received an update for 4.4.2, however when I try this it goes a quarter of the way then comes up with a red triangle and exclamation point. The device is still rooted somehow. Can you help me update?

I don't think OTA will work on unlocked/tampered device with custom recovery.I think you need to run ruu.exe if one is available for you to get 100% stock before OTA will work again.

Hello,
I found an FUU for 4.4 Kitkat on the link you posted earlier, It does all the necessary actions with no failures and completes with a Congrats screen but the firmware is the same?
