[Q] Stuck at T-Mobile's Stick Together Screen

Today I rooted my sensation using clockwork mod recovery and then installed supersu. It was working fine until I restarted my phone. Now whenever I try to turn it on I get stuck the the t-mobile stick together screen. I tryed factory resetting from the bootloader and nothing happened. Please keep any answers noob friendly. Not good with the technical terms. Thanks

Hi,
Firstly ,you should hide your IMEI and serial number.
Can you please explain again exactly what you were doing?

Okay so first thing I did was install the clockwork mod thing (it opens when I click recovery in bootloader)
Then I installed SuperSu through the sd card and clockwork
My phone worked fine for a little, but then no apps would open and I clicked reboot and it got stuck at the stick together screen... I tried installing mEMBERS rom to fix it just a few minutes ago, but nothing changed... thanks

More detailed steps
First I unlocked the bootloader with htcdev.
Then I flashed clockwork mod using onex installer tool kit (I think it's something like that)
I put the supersu zip on the ad card
I went into bootloader and went to recovery
I installed the supersu zip using that

Relocked the bootloader

reflash the RUU of tmobile one ..this way you can get the phone in working condition but will lose all the data fine ?
connect the phone from bootloader to pc and then double click on RUU thats all (btw you should relock your bootloader ..which i think you did it )
TMOUS ICS RUU ..here

AW: [Q] Trying to get HTC one S on stock rom? Please help ?
If you turn ur phone on with holding power and volume down you should be in your bootloader.
Can you tell us what stands on the top?

Just curious to know what this information means , please let me know each line if possible. Appreciate your help

AW: [Q] Trying to get HTC one S on stock rom? Please help ?
Tampered: no stock recovery
Unlocked: your bootloader is looked
VLE: Ville: HTC One S
S-ON: security on
Radio: your radio Version
You have to lock your bootloader.
Download the all in one toolkit which you can find in the development section. There are all necessary files.
Be sure you have installed the HTC sync driver.
1. Connect your mobile To your pc when your are in the screen where you can see hboot version etc.
2. There should be "hboot USB" in blue.
3. Navigate to hboot and press power.
4. It should change to "fastboot USB" in red.
5. Then open the all in one toolkit on your PC.
6. Open the folder where ADB and fastboot exe are located.
7. Press shift and right click somewhere in the folder and open the command line.
8. Then type in "fastboot oem lock"
9. If you take a look to your phone you should see that the "unlock" changed To "relocked"
That was the first step.
10. Go To the development section in this forum and look for the wwe europe ville ics ruu 2.31 or sth like that.
11. Download the file
12. Doubleklick the file
13. Follow the instructions
14. Let the ruu install everything
15. If everything works fine you should be on official ICS 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1 now
Good luck!
I hope I wrote an easy understandable instruction.
If u experience any problems feel free to post it here.
I'm sure I or someone else can help you.

This is the error message when i tried step 8, but when i checked the screen it shows relocked now , seems like it worked okay.
i tried this file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941402
Everytime i runs this RUU application file , after passing thru all steps it says ROM utility stopped working, Seems like i am almost done but just stuck at last point.

Hello NQNH, i tried it one more time and finally passed thru that screen. it started ROM update utility but got back with this error msg
Error (131) customer ID error
The ROM update utility cannot update your android phone
please get the correct ROM update utility and try again

glad to hear that I helped you.
Tampered means that someone already changed something on the phone (unlocked/relocked/custom recovery)
A comparison should be.. if you bought a new pc and if you open the case you have to break the seal. The "Tampered" say that you had break this seal on the phone (e.g. by unlocking the bootloader)
S-ON means that the security flags are on. Its a system protection so nobody can manipulate system data.
S-ON + locked bootloader -> you can do nothing, no root, no custom things
S-ON + unlocked bootloader -> you can flash custom recovery, root, custom rom (you can see an unlocked bootloader as a compromise between S-ON and S-OFF
S-OFF -> you can do everything what you want, change bootloaderGUI, bootanimations, splashscreens.
Unlocked means that you bootloader is unlocked. If its locked you cant install custom recovery, root and custom firmware. It has to be locked when you install a RUU.
You cant find your HBOOT version in your phone settings because its the version of the bootloader.
the bootloader is independed from the rom you are on. Its like the BIOS from your PC and your ROM is Win7 where you either cant find the bios version.
Radio is the module which is responsible for mobile data etc.
no/wrong/corrupt radio = no network/no signal
openDSP .. i don't know
eMMC boot, I guess that this is the partition where the bootloader is located.. but I'm not sure.
Mar 21, 2012, 16:01:09 is the date when .. difficult to explain .. when the development of the RUU was finished?
if I wrote something wrong please correct me.

Thanks a lot for this very helpful information. Appreciate your help. Kind of person like you are the reason these forums are running successfully and helping novice people like me. Thanks again.

Hello.
I'm having same problem with getting back on stock firmware...
After trying to flash into CM10, i got stock in CM boot logo.
So trying to get back to original using RUU.
But it just looks like I can not get right one...
I did everything like in posts above, and when I enter "fastboot getvar cid" I got "HTC_Y13"
Any idea which RUU is correct for that?
I'm still trying, so maybe it will be fools luck... Or maybe someone can put me on point?

Firstly, I would recommend removing part of your IMEI and Serial Numbers from your post, it could be used in bad ways by other people.
Ville is the HTC One S with a Snapdragon S4 chipset, clocked at 1.5GHz (dual core) otherwise known as z520e. (You have this phone)
VilleC2 is what became of the HTC One S when HTC ran out of Snapdragon S4 chipsets in many parts of the world due to a shortage. It has a Snapdragon S3, clocked at 1.7GHz (dual core) otherwise known as z560e.
VillePlus is a Special Edition version of the HTC One S, only available in Taiwan. It has the same processor as the Ville, except comes in a white body instead of the normal grey or black options and has 64GBs of internal storage. The other two have 16GBs internal storage. This phone is quite rare.
You should try RUUs only that say ville, and not VillePlus or VilleC2. These won't work and may even irreversibly damage your phone.
OTAs only work when you already have a previous firmware version. Let's say you were on ICS, a Jelly Bean FOTA is released (firmware over the air) and installs ("flashes") on top of your existing ICS installation, keeping your apps and data.
RUUs wipe all data and wipe everything on the phone when installing through a USB connection.
Could you specify what error code you get on the RUUs?
----
The reason why CM10 didn't boot is because you didn't flash the boot.img.
You need to extract the boot.img from the CM10 zip and put that into your "working folder" (the folder with adb and fastboot files in it)
Open up a command prompt / terminal in that folder and type
fastboot flash boot boot.img
when you are in FASTBOOT USB mode in the bootloader.

Go to Fastboot. Plug in your USB with the phone. Now, ctrl and r --> type cmd --> cd to C:/where your adb is --> fastboot read cid
Then type the 8 digit string that you get. It would help us determine your network provider.

[Q] How to return to stock or s-off without matching hboot ,firmware,cid

error 155 AFAIK is a connection issue
when you connect the device to pc from bootloader before using the ruu.exe in the hboot screen must say fastboot usb
did you check that?

Yes always made sure it said fastboot usb

Hmm,
Then see if your bootloader says locked or relocked
If it is unlocked you must relock it

[Resolved] Problems updating X920d Android 4.3 version 3.15.707.4 from 2.33.707.3

Resolved!
Apparently it was due to the fact that I installed Xposed Framework that causes the update process to fail.
I try to manually update the OTA.zip via stock recovery and found out that the process stopped at
"assert failed apply_patch_check( /system/bin/app_process."

Click to collapse
Further checks showed that Xposed replaced the app_process file and causes it to fail checksum. I then copied /system/bin/app_process.orig back to /system/bin/app_process.
After that, the update was a breeze. The recovery used was from 3.15.707.4 (extracted from OTA.zip).
I've also S-OFF and Super-CID during my testing process.
If your update process stops after 25%, usually some checksum error has happened. Use manual update to determine the error message.

I'm having a problem updating my Butterfly to Android 4.3 from 4.2.2
My current firmware is 2.33.707.3 and the upgrade version is 3.15.707.4.
On my current phone, I have unlock my bootloader, flash recovery to TWRP 2.6.3.0 as well as rooted it. Due to inexperience, I did not backup my original recovery.
As per gleamed from this forum, I've tried to flash recovery from other stock ROM to proceed with the OTA update.
Steps taken:
Clicked Install now on the OTA message
Phone reboots to recovery
Phone icon with Green exclamation mark appears
Bottom part blue progress bar appears
Upon 30 to 40% progress, the screen changes to Red exclamation mark and update is stopped.
Edit: Did a Factory reset, problem remains.
I've tried the following recovery from other stock ROM without success.
Recovery from 3.15.707.4 (extracted OTA zip in phone's Download folder)
Recovery from 1.19.707.1 (extracted from DLXB1_U_JB_45_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.19.707.1_V0.0)
Recovery from 2.28.709.2 (extracted from OTA_DLXB1_U_JB_50_S_hTC_Asia_TW_2.28.709.2-1.18.709.3)
Recovery from 1.12.707.1
Recovery from 2.33 (from @Bassie39's OTA collection)
Recovery from 2.28.709.3
I've searched high and low for stock Recovery from 2.33.707.3 but unable to locate it.
Any tips or suggestion apart from S-OFF and update firmware, PL99img.zip update via bootloader, look in the OTA collection?

@bluheart, How do I go from S-OFF to update my OTA? Is Rumrunner better?

Any help or advice would be very appreciated.

Firewater or Rumrunner are equally effective.
I liked Firewater as its very simple to use.

What's the next step after having S-Off?

Super cid

After supercid flash the TW (Taiwan) firmware not the WWE (World Wide Edition) so that you get faster updates as this is a Taiwanese company. WWE gets updates a lot later (2-4 months later) so think about that.

Yes, This means I have to change the CID to HTC__621? But would this affect my Carrier settings?

No, I have done this with my old Butterfly without any bad effects or signal problems.

Firewater didn't work. Instead I used Rumrunner.

Hope things worked out, and also I hope you took my advice and switched to Taiwan RUU.
You don't have to change CID if you are supercid which is 11111 something like that, you can install any RUU.

I'm trying to find a way to install the Taiwanese RUU on my phone. Looking around this forum but some of the instructions are contradictory.
Any help or useful links to share?

Go to the unlock thread page 9, I posted a detailed S-Off procedure. Any further questions regarding TW firmware they can answer.

[Q] Rooting mistake

Hey guys.
I wanted to root my HTC One S, and I read that the program SuperOneClick was the fastest way of doing it, so I went ahead and connected the HTC to my PC with the USB cable and clicked "root". After like 15 minutes however the program didn't do anything, it just froze and I had to close it. Root Checker Basic said something similiar to no valid root or something. Tried to click "unroot" now so I could start again with a different method, froze again, closed SuperOneClick again. What am I supposed to do now? Is rooting it again safe as I now probably have some half / corrupted root? And can someone link me to the best method? Thanks in advance.

One-click-roots are not suggested...
Did you unlock the bootloader?

Just unlocked the bootloader and flashed cwm, my own fault for using superoneclick. Thanks anyway ;p

Sorry for the double post. I may need some help as I probably bricked(?) my One S.
Didn't do anything root-related for a long time so I think I made a beginner's mistake.
What I did was unlock (htcDEV), and flash CWM recovery.
I tried installing liquid kitkat custom rom, but now it won't boot, not even in recovery.
Help?
EDIT: It's stuck in a boot loop :/

Press Power button for 10secs+ to power off
Can you enter fastboot? Is your phone S4 ville or s3 villeC2?

I finally managed to enter recovery / fastboot.
Sorry for the foolish comment but I actually have no idea if it's S4 or S3, how do I find out?
Also what should I do right now? Flash stock rom on it or..?

FIRST you need to know which phone / firmware you got.
Enter fastboot, connect to pc, open CMD and type "fastboot getvar all"
Copy the log and post it here please. Delete IMEI/serial before you post the log. Then i can exactly tell you what you need to install

HTC One S - S4 ville - generic dutch version
You will just need to flash the kernel contained in the rom (boot.img) via fastboot (S-ON means u need to flash kernel manually) to fix your installation
Generally I'd suggest
Flash this recovery via fastboot --> TWRP 2.7.0.8
(its compatible to the lastest CM11 versions 05/01/2014 and newer
And may be try PAC rom (I just love it)

I indeed just flashed the boot.img seperately which was in the rom, and now it works. It's a huge relief to see my phone work again, thanks a lot!!
One more thing so I avoid messing up in the future; When I decide to install another rom, do I always do a factory reset / clear cache, then flash the rom and flash the kernel via fasboot?

FULL wipe --> format system, data, cache, dalvik --> flash rom --> immediately go to fastboot and flash the kernel --> reboot and done
Just try to get S-OFF, then the kernel get installed with the rom via recovery

Looks like I was cheering too early. Roughly 1 minute after launching my phone, .comSystemGUI or something along those lines stopped working, and whenever I pressed "ok" the message would instantly return. I can't connect my phone to my PC to put another ROM on it since the message won't disappear. Also I tried re-flashing the same ROM, but now it says can't mount storage/sdcard0.
Really frustrating!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2206434
This topic guided me into getting the sdcard mountable again, but in the process I lost the rom .zip file.
And my phone won't boot anymore, it doesn't get past the HTC logo, so I can't put a new rom on it and flash it.
What is there left for me to do? Stock rom? How do I find the stock rom?
Thanks in advance.

I figured it out, thanks for your guidance LS.xD!
Basically what I did was mount the SD storage in CWM and transfer Pac-man rom onto the storage, then flash the .zip, flash Gapps and finally in bootloader fastboot the boot.img (because I'm S-ON). Maybe this will help anyone.
EDIT: Someone may wanna be careful with using TWRP, it corrupted my SD storage for a while.

SD card bug can also be caused by CWM or flashing a rom (Viper really loves to brick SD). I never had any issues with TWRP. The only SD card bug I had in over a year flashing roms to my One S was caused by flashing CWM
