From your bootloader you could first try clearing the cache, if that doesn't work the only other thing I can think of is to try to do a factory reset

And rest do what it says.
And don't worry its just a bootloop, your device is not bricked

because you need to wipe(factory reset) when flashing different roms. when you upgrade the same rom, you dont have to wipe.

wiping data(factory reset) should take care of that. wipe, flash rom, flash gapps(if needed), and reboot. thats all.
done all that still gets stuck at the loading screen

I'm not sure why, but sometimes when I flash a recovery and reboot into recovery from ROM Manager, I get the same thing. But if I flash, then power off and boot into recovery using volume+powerUp, it works fine.

Hay guys. Please help me. Some days ago i flashed my phone with 4.0.4 by Kies and everything was ok but after some days using ICS i was totally disappointed from it and decide to back my perfectly working 2.3.6 (Ausrian rom) with which i was before. But now after flashing it with Odin my phone stays on the first screen (Choose lang.) and than some messages start to shows up saying some google services can't start and after some seconds the phone restarts and all repeats again. PLEASE HELP if it's possible! Thanks in advance!!

Or you can flash cwm.
Then u can recovery from the backup.
For my experience, I encouter the same things as u (downgrade to gb, can't bpot).
What I do is listed below:
1. power off phone.
2. power on phone and press home+volume up to enter one mode (I don't how to name it. Also, the mode is like cwm, but only few functon)
3. select factory reset. select cache……
4. then u can reboot to a clean gb systen
5. flash cwm via odin and recovery it to the backup I made before flash ics.

[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
Thanks to everyone for your help - us noobs must be sooooooo annoying.
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

This little post just pulled me out of missery. Love ya man!
all you guys getting sorted
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] Help!!!

So yesterday I made a really dumb decision by using the TWRP Theme Manager on XDA to use a theme, even though I had TWRP 2.6 instead of 2.7. I tried to reboot, but it was in a bootloop. I got back to the recovery and wiped everything, then flashed my ROM, but it's still in bootloop. I tried flashing CWM with fastboot, but my phone is not recognized. Can anyone help me, please? I want to flash the stock firmware, but I don't know which one is correct. I have XT1032. Thanks.
