Is that CWM recovery a modified one that will work with the new firmware that you need for Maximus?
I don't keep up with all the new stuff, but the TWRP provided in the install of Maximus is special. If your CWM is "special" too, then ok.
Now the special TWRP provided with Maximus unfortunately doesn't move files from pc to the phone. I know that sucks.
If you knew all this and your sd card partition has really been corrupted then you will need to install stock recovery. Once that is installed you go into BOOTLOADER and select clear storage.
From there you will need to run an RUU to get back to stock. (so that you can move a ROM from pc to sd card ) then do the whole Maximus install all over again.
if you don't have an RUU that will work you can install the firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322755
This will bring you back to the old 2.15 hboot and older partitions so you can install the 2.15 roms to get a working phone to do what you want.
Alternatively, you could learn what adb push is and that will allow you to move files from pc to your phone on the "special" recovery.

Help! I did something to my phone!

Hello there, I have a htc one xl on At&t rooted... it has the hboot 1.14. Everything was fine until yesterday when I tried to flash AOKP. I used flash image gui to flash the boot.img then rebooted to TWRP and wiped rom, wiped everything, then installed the .zip for the boot.img I flashed... It would say android is upgrading and cycled through all the apps but stopped at starting apps... wouldnt go past it for 6 hours. I rebooted and tried to reflash the boot.img, but computer didnt recognize phone, and TWRP showed there was nothing on the sdcard
Juts mount your sd in recovery and drag a Rom over from your computer

Sounds like the initial problem was just a bad flash/download. It happens.
Try unplugging your phone, shutting down and restarting into bootloader, then hooking it up.
You flashed an incompatible kernel it sounds like.
Make sure you try flashing the kernel within the ROM

Hello everyone! Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the rushed post earlier, was on the way out the door after trying for a while to figure something out. I'd love to send a rom to it, but TWRP shows that I have 0 mb available of storage, and the computer says I must format it to access files or something. I may have forgotten to mention- I think i flashed rohan kernel b6 improperly... used flash image gui then went to recovery and clicked it and hit install ... it hung at installing for a while, and upon reboot the starting apps problem happened, followed by no rom being on there, only being able to access TWRP, and ... well, above things. If I formatted it would I be able to put twrp and everything back on it necessary to make the thing function properly? Orr.... Thanks for any help!
God bless!
P.S. Forgot to add- Not sure why I thought I needed to try to "install" rohan kernel later on in TWRP lol
P.S.S I tried to mount sd card in twrp, nomatter how many times i try to select it it wont work
Yeah just format it and then it'll show up as a drive for you then you can send a rom to it.

I'm sorry- I really don't understand what I'm going to lose if I format, like... apparently all my data is somewhere in the air now lol, but will I not lose any important things the phone needs to run? TWRP? Will the bootloader still be unlocked?
And, if above "issues" aren't "issues", then will the following steps be correct?
1. Send ROM to phone
2. Throw fastboot.exe and adb thing into a folder with the ROM/ boot.img
3. CMD prompt to flash
4. Magic
?
Thanks so much and sorry to be a pain here if this isn't that big of an issue! I was afraid I bricked the thing, but I was holding on to hope that I didn't since it seemed like a good thing that it would still boot to TWRP.
Also- not sure if this is an issue, I tried to hit adb sideload in TWRP just messing around with options, and it said it couldn't mount the SD card.... so.... yeah, is that an issue?
Whatever data you had on the sd card is gone anyway. You need to reformat to use it.
Formatting the sd card won't affect your /system files or recovery, which are stored on a different area, or cause you to lose root.
You guys are awesome. Thanks so much!
And, as you get a lot: Sorry... for being a noob. lol

[Q] My HTC One S has no OS - SOLVED

When trying to restore/unroot my One S something bad happened. I'm not sure, but I or the program I tried to use somehow erased the memory and completely removed the phone OS. What should I do to get my phone back to life?
EDIT:
My phone is back to life!
The solution that worked was a mixture of a few previously posted on xda.
I followed this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android#ROM_Flashing
Under ROM flashing I did steps 4-7 and then flashed the boot.img for my chosen Rom(Currently UTB: http://www.connect-utb.com/utb-rom-for-the-htc-one-s/) via CMD. Then I powered down, waited for a bit, and started the phone again. The phone finally worked as it was supposed, I got past boot image and entered the normal phone configuration.
The reason I chose UTB Rom was because someone else have had positive results with this Rom
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25557817#post25850720 post #8),
which also proved correctly for me as I tried to install another Rom without success just a few mins later. (To get it to work again I followed my own instructions above, and it worked)
Thanks for your help! And I hope this solution will guide and help others with similar problem in the future!

Hello,
If you can get to the bootloader then you should relock it and flash the RUU for your phone. That will return it to stock and you can reroot or do whatever.
Rsotbiemrptson
You could also just reflash the ROM of your choice by going into TWRP custom recovery, mounting your sd card and copying the ROM over.
Then flash the ROM, and dont forget to also fastboot the relevant boot.img for that rom.
TWRP recovery is better than CW as it does allow you to mount your sd card. So download TWRP (google it) and fastboot flash recovery <filename>.img
then load the recovery then mount sd card. You should be good to go from there, unless your SD Card is corrupted. If that is the case, then check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086156

Yes, I can get into bootloader, but can't find the right RUU for my version.

[Q] SD card appears as only 48MB. how come?

Hi, seems like my One S's sdcard partition has corrupted. been using TWRP 2.500 and recently upadted to 2.6.30 to use the new Maximus Rom. During the rom installation, I wiped the sdcard sectrion by mistake so I couldn't get to flash the zip file, then, I've tried multiple times of recovery.img flashings via RUU mode or on the bootloader screen. Finally when I got the TWRP recovery mode again, it says the sdcard folder only accepts 48 MB so I cannot push any custom roms since they are bigger than 500MB... Any ideas? Should I send it to the repair shops? Please Help!! Thank you!
FYI, my phone was
Tampered, Unlocked, S-off
also, when I press mount button on TWRP, this list appears
Cache
Data
Internal SDcard
System
USB-OTG
but I select Internal SD, the computer says the removable disk has only 48MB of available space.(I wiped it multiple times!)

Yes, don't sweat it. It is repairable.
It's hard for my to tell what you missed, because you didn't write what you did. So just follow installation instructions in the first post of maximus Rom. (flash new firmware, modified recovery, then Rom).

All of these steps work for me except flashing the recovery as a ZIP. I get the wrong CID error (code 42 if i remember correctly). Thing is, I flash the .img directly usign fastboot flash recovery and that works but then the install process says, in android, transfer ROM. At this point, I don't have access to the SD card and the ROM is not in my sd card (it was wiped anyway?)
*EDIT*
Ok I changed my CID to 1111111 and now it works to flash the firmware. I still get partitions errors it seems though.
What I did is flash the stock recovery, clear storage, factory reset, reflashed the firmware given in Maximus thread, then the TWRP given and still, I get problems with my sdcard not mounting?

if you are talking about mounting usb storage in recovery, then no, you cannot do that on Maximus HD rom. (it's a modified TWRP to work on the new firmware)
You can sideload in TWRP or ADB push the rom to your sdcard.
I would give you a link to a page describing it, but search is unavailable right now, have to try later.
But just search that thread with keyword sideload. There you will find the exact commands to load the rom onto your sdcard.

I went back to CM, didn't like maximus so much and it didn't fix my EDGE only problem so
It went back to 48mb
Hi i had the same problem with my htc one s.So i paniced and for some reason i put s-on(I deleted the os from the pc using mount storage) I managed to fix it by installing the recovery as zip. Then i tried to adb sideload a rom but it didn't work. So i went to boot loader then to fast boot and did fastboot flash zip Energyrom.zip. That gave me an error so i went back to recovery to try to side load the rom again, but my sdcard went back to 48mb.I reflashed the recovery (the one from install package) same thing . What do i do????? I need help asap i want my phone back (IM ONLY 12) Please reply asap.

I think the easiest way is to flash the stock recovery and then do a sdcard wipe then a factory reset.
After that, you go through the process as described in the maximus rom thread, you will have to flash with sideload. That should work afterward
I am doomed
Hi guys,
Yesterday I decided to try MaximusROM 10.0.0 HD on my HTC One S, which is s-OFF and with superCID. The problem is: I didn't flashed first the rom as it was said, and I just used the Installation Package, installing directly the firmware.zip and the modified recovery. I tried to follow the steps written before, but now my phone works with the stock rom but it says that there are only 48mb in sd card, and that means that I can't even take photos, because I have no memory left. I found out that my phone, when is booted up, in settings says that I have 15,96GB of space for applications. What can I do?

[Q] Where Did I Mess Up?

This rooting crap used to be easier man, I swear. I think I literally rooted my Evo through the web browser. Whatever...anyway, it just seemed a lot less riskier back then. I havent had an Android phone since then so I was happy to see my One S come in the mail. Right now though, I'm hoping I didn't waste my money. I'm gonna try to retrace my steps as explicitly as possible so someone can help me easier.
1. Unlocked the bootloader thru HTC Dev
2. Used this to root
3. Install recovery, TWRP.
4. Downloading CM10.2 ROM and Gapps to flash thru TWRP.
5. Cant mount sdCard. The mount screen in TWRP gives you 4 check box options, cant check 'mount sd'
5a. (Can boot phone as normal until now. Was on stock rooted rom with no problems but I hate sense and wanted to switch)
6. Wipe everything; data, cache, dalvik, sd.
7. Cant see SD Card at all now. No OS. Stuck on white HTC startup screen if I dont go to bootloader/recovery.
8. At this point I just tampered around with random solutions from threads I found on google, now I can see my SD card in TWRP file manager but its still not mountable (Even when I could check 'mount sd' windows doesnt see anything).
9. Tried relocking bootloader, running RUU, error code 155.
10. Right now, stuck with tampered unlocked bootloader, s-on, cant install rom because sd card wont mount and cant push ruu because it errors within 2 minutes. This was from last night, and I havent touched it today, and I wont touch it until someone who actually knows what they're doing can tell me whats up.
help
Hi,
I had a similar issue.. I followed a tutorial on YouTube and the guy forgot to mention that the ROM needs to be on the SD before rooting.
And my device was not reconised by my computer (win 7).
I messed around with a few recovery's.. turned out i was using a older version and after flashing about 3 recovery's my computer reconised my device when mounting SD card.
Hope this helps.

Okay First I don't whether you have an S3 version (VilleC2) or an S4 version (Ville).
Understand this, when you format SD card using TWRP recovery, you can't mount it. It is because only the Stock HTC recovery is able to format the SD correctly.
What you ought to do now is:
1. Download stock HTC recovery for your phone version, S3 or S4.
2. flash the recovery through Fastboot using the command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
3. Go to bootloader and select the option to erase Storage; if it's not there, then you will have to select Factory Reset, wiping your data and apps too.

It will almost do all things for you, Unlock Bootloader, Flash recovery, Root ...
And remember, if abd console says "error: device not found" or when downloading and fail install "HTC MTP drivers" don't worry, it happened to me too.
Remember, you need flashed Recovery, to be able to Gain Root. And Unlocked Bootloader to flash Recovery.
Now I am back to original stock ROM, rooted.
Windows still not recognizing SD card after mount. it gives option to mount internal_sd, but folder that sd is located is called 'sdcard'? I flashed stock recovery, clear storage, then factory reset, then root, then flash twrp.
Even when I put a custom ROM and gapps on the sd through stock ROM, it bootloops after flash. It's like HTC really doesnt want me to appreciate anything other than their crap stock firmware.

Rooting the stock is not necessary flash a custom rom. Most roms that you flash are already rooted and root should be flashed in twrp if you just want a stock rooted rom
Flash the stock recovery, clear storage and factory reset. Then flash TWRP. If that doesn't boot for some reason you may need to flash the stock ruu.
If you chose to keep the stock firmware, you can download the superuser.apk from the playstore. When you run the app it will give you the option to reboot into TWRP to flash the root automatically.

Flash the stock recovery, clear storage and factory reset. Then flash TWRP. If that doesn't boot for some reason you may need to flash the stock ruu.
If you chose to keep the stock firmware, you can download the superuser.apk from the playstore. When you run the app it will give you the option to reboot into TWRP to flash the root automatically.

Even after clear storage, factory reset and TWRP flash I still cannot see the SD card in Windows or install a custom rom without white HTC bootloop. Only way I can mount the SD card is on the stock rom.
Also, Win says SD card is 10GB. Does everything else really use up 6GB?

What CID do you have. Have you matched the RUU with the your CID. If the CID's don't match it will give you and error and not flash. If you are SuperCID you can flash any RUU but with a stock CID you need the RUU that matches it.

I can't recovery my HTC One Mini!

Hi guys,
alright, I've an HTC One Mini M4, to root it i've unlocked the bootloader, installed a custom recovery (TWRP) and rooted using SuperSU by flashing the .zip archive from the recovery... after rooted i got some problems so i decided to return stock completely: on supersu settings i tapped Complete Unroot (or something like that) and i rebooted system, but supersu was still there! so i erased the supersu .zip archive from the storage using es file explorer, tapped on complete unroot and rebooted system, but supersu was still there, so i decided to wipe all the phone data by twrp recovery (including system) because i thought it was a good idea. i was wrong: now i've no os on my phone, i've just custom recovery (twrp) installed and *TAMPERED* and *UNLOCKED* bootloader... unfortunately i didn't backup anything before doing all this things. I also tried to download a ROM and flash it by adb using my pc, but adb doesn't recognize the phone, only HTC sync manager recognize that a phone is plugged...
so i ask you, how can i return factory system, factory recovery, and lock bootloader like it wasn't never unlocked?
Hope you can help me i'm desperate :crying:
PS: sorry for my english, but it isn't my native language.

Well, definitely ****ed up here. Take out the sd card, put it in another phone if possible, and download the stock Rom for your HTC on to the phone you put the sd card in(put the Rom in a place you know where it's at). Put the sd card back into the htc, and flash it through twrp.
@tylerleo you definitely ****ed up there.. M4 doesn't have ext sd card ?
Get rid of htc sync, re-install adb if need be, and adb push rom zip to phone. Failing that get an otg cable/drive. There are posts on this forum already regarding no os that will give you a detailed walkthrough
