Custom Rom Trouble - HTC Sensation

I have an old Vodafone Sensation that I wanted to update to Kitkat and give it to my eldest son as his first phone.
So I have done the following:
Unlock bootloader
S off
Rooted
Superuser
Ext4 Recovery
So found a nice 4.4.4 rom (Carbon) and deep cleaned the phone and fat32 formated the SD card using Ext4. When I try and install the ROM through Ext4 it says status 0 installation aborted. Tried with a couple of ROMs but all say the same. Now the phone only boots to splash screen no further. I tried to get a recovery.img for vodafone from the RUU but couldnt find the temp files so can't get back to stock or install new.
Anyone any ideas as my son is excited about the phone but I can't figure out how to get over the status 0 error.
Any help much appreciated

Searching for that error code would be much faster instead of opening another thread with that question.
Install latest 4ext recovery and you'll be fine

Have tried that....fastboot flash says unknown partition and kgs cant install the recovery as it cant boot into android
This is doing my nut in!
Is there a way i can get back to stock?
Bootloader is now saying S on today which was off yesterday
If I can get back to stock I can start again but at the mo im fooked

[Q] I am stuck on htc logo screen after updating radio and wimax

I recently just rooted my shift to rooted 2.2 them did a custom rom cm7.1.0 speedy everything went very well.....then i decided to update the radio and wimax....did that through bootloader with a pg06img.zip file containing both....udated fine then went to reboot and i got stuck on the htc screen.......when i did this with the stock rooted rom no problem....except it didn't update the radio etc......
if any body has any suggestions i would greatly appreciate it....thank you
This is covered in the radio thread.. Take the zip off the root of your sdcard, boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot. If it still won't boot you may have to restore your nand, don't worry this won't revert back to the old radios.

stuck on htc screen
ok i seem to have fixed the problem with a little trick....the problem was that i had that pg601img.zip on my sd so every time i would try and go into the bootloader it would automatically load that file so i could not go to recovery could not delete it from sd via pc due to write protection so what it did let me do is rename the file.....so that it would let me chose recovery(clockworkmod recovery) so i could load my rom backup
still a noob

haha I hate when that happens.
I don't think that little trick is very obvious to most of us who flashed a radio our first time.

Bricked Htc One S, stuck in bootloader and Clockwork recovery

Hi everyone,
i am so very new to this. here it goes. I tried to root my HTC One S and install cm9. well the root worked. I installed the cm9 rom. that looked like it worked too. so i went to turn the phone on and it booted up ok, showed the cm9 boot up animation, then the screen went completly white and stayed like that. well i booted up into clockworkmod recovery, did a factory reset (i also did a factory reset/clear storage in bootloader), and accidentally erased everything, i think. stock rom, cm9 everything. now i can only get the phone to boot up into the bootloader or clockworkmod recovery. so i think its bricked. it tried to install the tmobile ruu and that failed. idk what to do, im really nervous i wont be able to get my phone back. cwmr also says it cant mount sd card..when i plugged the phone in to the computer, devices menu says android and sometimes it says ville. If someone is able to give me step by step instructions on how to fix this, i would greatly appreciate it because i am freaking out. I have seen the term flash around the forums idk what that means or how to do it. i also tried forcing a new rom thru adb and that didnt work. i really dont know what to do at this point. I would greatly appreciate it, if someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Frank
My guess would be: flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then get a RUU and install it. (and you probably just had the white screen because u didn´t flash boot.img).

try to relock your bootloader with the all in one toolkit and after that, while your phone is in fastboot usb mode with the bootloader reloked, install the offial ruu for your phone. Try to find the download of the original ruu, it is an exe file, when you run it the phone must be connected in fastboot usb, if everything goes fine the phone should be back to stock.
Ok I will try tonight. Hopefully it works.

[Q] Bricked my HTC One S

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

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

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...

[Q] HTC one accidentally factory reset/wipe from bootloader

I think I may have screwed up pretty big, but hopefully someone can help me out. I unlocked the bootloader on the HTC one, was trying to install the updateSU.zip but it was not showing up in the SD card in clockwordmod. I accidentally did a factory reset and now I can't get passed the HTC logo screen and I don't have anything backed up. I can still get into clockwordmod but I'm not sure how to undo this. I have tried searching about similar problems but it gets confusing on other phones when people start talking about external SD card slots. I think I can still side load roms through the all in one kit, but I am not sure. Any help would be much appreciated, I am so sad!
If you can access the recovery than your good. All you have to do now is to flash ROM supported by the installed kernel or flash another kernel and ROM.
If you're aiming on recovering some data then I'm afraid I have to burst your bubble because factory reset wipes all user data.

Alright, thanks for the reply. I am not concerned about user data, I just want to be able to use the phone at this point. I am not rooted yet, I can't seem to install the zip file. Would I be able to flash another kernel and ROM? or do I have to wait until the factory RUU is available?
You can try flashing a custom kernel and a custom ROM. If you've successfully unlocked your bootloader then you should be able to do it without any trouble.
Also how do you mean you can't install a custom ROM from the SD card? Does it write out any errors?

I can't install a rom from the SD card, when I look into "install zip from SD card" it isn't there. I put the .zip file into the internal memory before it got soft bricked and it never showed up in clockworkmod. I don't know how to access the internal memory now, so I tried side loading the zip with the all in one program, and it starts and says it finished, but it just stays at the HTC logo screen. I tried waiting for about 12 minutes and it never booted up.
Have you tried mounting the USB storage from CWM while connected to your PC? You could transfer the zip onto the SD card that way.
But anyway, if the installed ROM wont boot up then it is most likley due to the fact that you're trying to run it on a kernel it does not support.

You could also sideload the ROM if that is an option in CWM (I use TWRP)

I tried to sideload the custom rom Orio on the HTC one but it gets a kernel error at the end.
As soon as clockworkmod pops up I get
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
I am also using clockworkmod v6.0.3.0
HTC released the kernel source code for the HTC one on their websitefor some carriers, but mine isn't out yet (sprint). Is that what I need to get it back to factory rom?
I found some RUU files for the HTC one (M7) at android files RUU website, it shows Asian and European files but no North American or US yet. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong but it would be nice to start from scratch, or at least be useable.
I'm going through the same thing.. I accidently managed wiped everything on the phone when rooting and trying for S-Off. which i managed to achieve it all, until i saw "TAMPERED" atop of unlocked. That's when i tried to get rid of it and somewhere in that process, I fukt **** up... Now it seems I'm hooped.. Phone just goes to bootloader or fastboot, or whatever's on the screen.. I even used the All in One Kit to try and push a recovery countless times.. Don't know the command to push recovery or n e thing else to device... When i try, "Device not found" is what i get.. Just trying not to take it back, but looks like i may have too... If there's any in sight on this, that'll be awesome.... Cheers

[Q] [HTC one SV][Help] Serious issues trying to unlock and flash

I followed the HTCDev site for unlocking my phone. Before locking it back, I flashed the clockwork from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2113671
I tried to make a backup from there but it was unable to mount system or much of anything. It made some level of backup but I am unable to get to it anyway.
I tried locking the bootloader but it said there was a security warning and wouldn't let me back into recovery so I unlocked it again. In recovery I tried to use the flash from zip option but it was unable to mount the sdcard
Now I am unable to do pretty much anything it seems. I feel like I need to get the default recovery back or something like that but I am at a loss.
Ruu or install twrp using hasoons aio.
