[Q} Soft Brick - looking for the correct RUU/ROM for HTC One s UK Vodafone

Hello
Sorry but I'm a beginner and I have tried fixing my phone for the past 5 hours after failing to install jelly bean
I'm stuck with the sd card mount error problem and the solution I found here doesnt seem to work for me
So it seems the best way would be to "reset" my phone or at least reinstall the existing ROM
Phone is a HTC One S - UK - Vodafone
Didn't manage to locate the correct RUU/ROM
Any help most welcome
Thanks again!
Cedric

Hey, you should be able to manually mount the SD card using ADB/fastboot. Try that first. Do some google for the commands you need, but first try "adb shell" and "mount sdcard".
Cheers!

Thanks for that - I finally managed to install the rom
but now I have another problem: the phone doesnt connect to any network
it's like it doesnt recognise my sim card anymore
any idea?
Would you need more info?
Baseband version is 1.08es.50.02.21_10.09c.50.04L

Ok, make sure that you flash the correct boot.img after flashing the rom. What you experience could be a symptom of wrong boot.img flash or no boot.img flash at all. Try to do that, and also try and wipe cache and Dalvk cache after flashing the boot.img again. Use "fastboot erase cache" after "fastboot flash boot boot.img".
Cheers!

not mmanyQu
Thanks for suggestion
But tried and didnt work
Aslo reinstalled everyting:
Download the ROM
Download Gapps
Extract the boot.img from the ROM and flash it in fastboot
Boot into TWRP recovery and factory data reset
Install the ROM, then install Gapps
Reboot
But still the same pb, any idea?
Getting scared I "broke" my phone now
Spend 10h on it since yesterday....
so thanks again - I'm lost here

Relax, the phone ain't dead. If you can boot it to bootloader, it's fine.
Try and flash a stock RUU and then unlock and root the phone again. I have no other ideea so far...

Any idea how I can locate the correct stock RUU?
I wanted to do that (after reading suggestions in this forum) but didnt know how/where to find them
Thanks again!

Check this out, look at the two bottom links. Get the most up to date one, it should work: http://www.filefactory.com/f/cf061f69b5bf7878/
Hope it helped!

Tried with both links
None worked - same error message - unable to update while updating signature...
Any idea?

Seriously, i have never seen this error message. This means you gotta focus on mounting the sdcard. You can do it step by step in adb shell:
# cd /dev/block/
# mknod mmcblk0 b 179 0
# mknod mmcblk0p1 b 179 1
This worked for me when i had the same problem on another phone. Try it in adb shell, then reboot to recovery. The sdcard should be mounted.

quick question (stupid I guess) but I tried so many things I getting confused now
when I tried to reinstall stock rom via RUU
the steps are:
flash original recovery via fastboot
relock bootloader
start RUU or OTA
Can you please clarifiy "original recovery"- not sure I did the correct thing at this stage??
Thanks again

Usually when you flash a recovery image it is best practice to pull the original one as backup. I assume you don't have it, so try and search the forum for an original recovery for your phone model. Once you have it, connect the phone via fastboot and do a "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img".
This original recovery will only let you return to factory settings, so no nand backup or zip flashing there. After you got your stock RUU installed, you're back to square 1, so you'll need to unlock the phone, root it, push a recovery (whatever you want) and proceed with flashing stuff.

thanks for your help
I'm going to take a break because nothing is working and will come back in a few days
RUU installation always comes back with an error message (same one)
Tried to change my CID but doesnt work - I cant manage to open a shell session (it doesnt locate my phone, even though USB debugging is selected and fastboot says fastboot usb)...
thanks again

do you have any pg58img.zip file in your sdcard which bootloader recognizes it and that's why preventing you to enter in the recovery?
also try this
connect the device to pc in fastboot mode and type in a cmd window
fastboot reboot recovery
or from android OS type
adb reboot recovery

In all honesty I am not sure. And I can't do adb or fastboot. I cant get into fastboot due to the error it gives me when i enter bootloader when it scans it. and when I plug it into a PC with it switched on apart from getting 4 or 5 force closes my computer does not detect adb. I did also try "adb devices" command and was not found.

yeah I am S ON. the pg58img wasn't a zip though, think it said something like nbh or something similar.

bootloader scans sdcard for nbh files and some other files too
and with S-ON you can't flash any of these files

[Q] boot loop cannot get PC to read device

Okay I was flashing a ROM for the S4 version and the phone began rebooting in the middle of the flash. I realize my error so lets not focus on that Im just trying to fix the boot loop issue. Im trying to use fastboot to fix it but when the phone is connected to my windows 7 PC it makes the connected sound but the device cannot be found by fastboot and it is not shown in the sidebar tree. I cannot get into recovery the TRWP splash screen is displayed for 10 seconds then it goes to the HTC developers use only screen. Please help. Are there any options to repair the damage?

well don't give up then, it isn't bricked.
I'm guessing the way you worded it, you have a villeC2 (S3) version and you flashed (S4) ROM? So just make sure you have the S3 version of TWRP flashed and flash a boot.img and rom. wipe caches and you should be fine.
Never mind that if your phone is S4 and I misinterpreted that.
With phone in Bootloader, (fastboot USB) try and check fastboot devices again. Opening your folder with fastboot in it and shift right click, pick open command window.
fastboot devices
(should show a serial #)
flash recovery again, since it was bootlooping. That will probably allow it to be stable again so you can mount USB storage.
If you are in bootloader (fastboot USB) and command window on pc is ran from the correct folder but it still shows device cannot be found then reinstall fastboot drivers. That should fix it for you.

Im on the S4 variant my error was not flashing the boot.img separately
Im needing to run the cmd as admin so Im opening it up from the start button and changing the directory to the folder fastboot is in. I did get a serial # HT251W408295 fastboot. as shown
Just to confirm my next step is to flash recovery so my command line should be C:\Android fastboot flash recovery twrp2.1.6-ville.img
Correct?
Im using an older twrp cause I read that the newest one is not the best for HTC one S devices.
Thanks

That would work, BUT:
I see Maximus HD in that pic. For Maximus and any other ROM that uses 2.16 HBoot you can only use the recovery provided in the Maximus original post. It has been modified to work with the new partitions.
If you have moved back to or are still on HBoot 2.15 older firmware, then yes go ahead and flash like you are.
---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------
oh, and usb storage (mount sd card) will not be available on this new recovery.
Easy way to move a ROM onto the phone while in this recovery is adb push
put ROM.zip in the adb folder and type in command window:
adb push filename.zip /sdcard

Sorry, you need to extract that zip on your pc and put the recovery.img in your folder. Or I guess just extract it in that same folder you are using.
then depending on the name of the recovery.img flash that. But I think that extracts to recovery.img
so
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

One of the possibilities with that error is a bad download. You may have to redownload the ROM.
Another is if you change the name of the rom, just in case you did that.

after that does it do anything further or just stays there?

If the proccess has been done correctly you probably have S-OFF (check your bootloader screen) and as long as you say it is stucked at Juopunutbear screen it means you have installed Juopunutbear enginering hboot so you should be able to flash recovery even if you are not htcdev unlocked.
However if you have not an ENG hboot you can flash a recovery by copying a PG58IMG.zip with a custom recovery to your sdcard (it needs an android-info.txt file and the recovery of your choice with name recovery.img inside the zip so you can flash it from your bootloader).
You could also try a factory restore or an RUU to save you from bootloop (the S-OFF remains).The first time I S-OFFed my device (with wire-trick/without htcdev unlock) I did factory restore to save me from bootloop because when I executed temp_root_remove.bat could not revert my system back.

when you were in the bootloader did you select fastboot
your hboot screen should say fatsboot usb when connecting the device to the pc
otherwise do as Gatosbil suggested if you achieved S-OFF

Hi Guys

boot your device to the bootloader,select fastboot and connect it to the pc
extract the recovery.img from the link above and place it in the folder where you have adb/fastboot files in your pc
open a command window from that folder and type
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot bootloader
then you will have 4ext recovery installed

I've used OneX AIO tool to flash it, and now I have 4ext Recovery Touch and my Sensation is alive again! Thank you!

Hi guys I tried to flash ''cm-13.0-20151108-UNOFFICIAL-pyramid'' via ''TWRP-2.8.7.0-pyramid-r9-cm13'' but that failed, ever since I am stuck at the HTC logo, I tried to flash numerous older firmwares but try to factory reset/wipe I get an ''unable to format storage'' so any Rom I try fails. It was previously running older version of CM fully rooted which I have fully backed up via CWM but now cant restore is due to TWRP & CWM being incompatible.
I have tried so many ADB commands but ADB only responds when in TWRP any time else like in Fastboot I get absolutely no response at all, I have also tried to flash CWM back any way possible but have failed same with ''4EXT-Recovery-Touch-v1.0.0.5-RC5-PG58IMG''. Also tried RUU but kept on receiving 'Connection Error' even though the USB cable was connected & works fine, also tried using ''Sensation_All-In-One_Kit_v3.1'' no luck either with any of its commands.
I have attached the Bootloader screen if it can help with this boot loop.
I have never has such issues with Samsung Phones so I am a total noob with HTC phones so any help would be really great.
Any help would be really great from this amazing community!

TWRP has broken my partition table. I cannot format via parted due to the fact it now has 'overlapping partitions'. No recovery can fix this including 4ext. Completely stuck at the minute. I don't want to use a microsd card as storage when I have internal storage available. Is there anyone that can help or has had any success? I am S-OFF and bootloader UNLOCKED.
Tried stock RUU via P58..zip and get's stuck part way through (I think at system or SD)
Help! I'm sure there's someone that can fix the partition table. The format of the internal storage sd is fat32 - which I believe is where the problem started from. I don't want to let this problem defeat me although I have spent an age trying to sort it...too late to give up
Any help is highly appreciated.
Cheers

Yeah how did you do it? Too late for me now though as my device is S-OFF and I'm stuck in QHUSB_DLOAD bricked mode. I have tried unlimited.io's s-off etc no joy. Wonder if there is ever going to be anything that can take me out of this apart from jtag.

What I've done has been, through a PC with Windows Vista (I have been unable to get anything with Windows 8 onwards ), I installed the HTC One X All In One tool, and in the part where the recoverys are located, there are three (CWM, TWRP and other), I went to the Data / Recoveries folder and I deleted the TWRP, replacing this with an image of 4EXT Recovey Touch, and putting the same name that has the recovery erased. Then I went to the tool, I installed TWRP (which was 4EXT which replaced it) and my Sensation revived. Good luck!

For me it is not loading to 4ext, after flashing it..... stuck at htc logo. if i install twrp or cwm it boots to it... any idea how to fix it?
