i AM UNABLE TO GET INTO THE DEVICE BUT I AM ABLE TO USE FASTBOOT USB. AND RECOVERY THRU TWRP. i WOULD RATHER REFLASH CWMR AS THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE GOTO FOR RECOVERIES, NOT TOO SURE ABOUT TWRP. i WOULD REALLY LIKE A STEP BY STEP TO AT THE VERY LEAST GET MY STOCK ROM BACK UP AND RUNNING, THOUGH EVEN BETTER IF I COULD USE A 4.4. ROM. THE DEVICE WAS ROOTED BEFORE I FUDGED UP. i WOULD HAVE BACKED UP MY EXISTING ROM BUT HAD NOT ENOUGH SPACE. YA LIVE AND YA LEARN. WAS TOLD SOMEWHERE TO FLASH ROM THRU FASTBOOT BUT NOT ENTIRELY SURE HOW THAT WORKS. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. THIS IS MY ONLY DEVICE AT THE MOMENT AND NEEDING ABIT OF GUIDANCE. THANKS GUYS AND GALS

you must have pure stock rom to update by OTA
no mods,no custom kernel,no recovery
in this way you can use an ruu.exe to return the device into completely stock situation
but still you can flash a jelly bean rom if you have already the latest fw version
the problem is when your device was not booting after installing a rom because you didn't enable smartflash from recovery(that feature is only for S-ON devices as yours)
and to do that you have to install 4ext recovery

I have an HTC One X from AT&T. I recently got root and started playing. I flashed Clean Rom 6.5 using clockwordmod and it went well. Used it about a week and got bored. (Later I saw that TWRP was needed for that.) I decided I wanted to try a Cyanogen Mod but realized later after research that my phone received the OTA update that only allows Sense ROMS on my phone. After I flashed Cyanogen 10 with clockwordmod the touch screen wouldn't work. I tried to get back to Clean Rom 6.5 and tied to flash TWRP as my bootloader. It went bad from there. Now I cannot get to recovery. It appeas I don't have a bootloader flashed. I used FastbootFlasher_V2.4 and flashed TWRP. It said it was sent. Still won't go to recovery. I downloaded the RUU.exe and tried that process. It failed too. After I tried to restore the RUU it said to reboot. I did and then the cyanogen logo came on and hung. I went to fastboot and typed in fastboot erase cache. No help. Here's my screen info if that helps:

Slow up.... What if anything can you access on phone? Can you access hboot
Power on + volume down
Being your s-on it's near impossible to kill the bootloader

You've given us your bootloader info so I doubt you've killed the bootloader. If it turns on it's far from bricked. Did you mean you can't get into recovery? Have you tried flashing a recovery to fix it?

Hi.
I have previously had CM11 working very well on my HTC One S. To get the carrier unlock to work I had to revert to a stock ROM to apply the unlock code. Now, I am trying to go back to CM11 but facing difficulties.
I used an RUU (RUU_Ville_U_H3G_UK_1.78.771.5_Radio_0.16.31501S.19_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258982_signed) and that works fine but I lose root when doing it. I still have s-off and super CID.
Anyhow, if I flash TWRP recovery 2.4.1.0 I can get into recovery and flash SuperSu but cannot then flash CM11.
CWM will not let me flash CM Recovery and if I try a newer version of TWRP or any version of CWM Recovery my phone will go to the bootloader screen thereafter but when I select "Recovery" the phone just starts normally and I cannot get into Recovery at all.....
Please can someone give me some help / advice / pointers.
My head is spinning a bit so hopefully I'm missing something simple.

I recently bought a HTC Desire S secondhand, however when it arrived I turned it on to find that it just displays the HTC logo then a black screen. It has 4ext installed - which is what loads when try to do a factory reset.
I have no experience with installing custom ROMs but I'm pretty good at following instructions. I'm hoping that someone here will be able to tell me how to fix this!
Some more information, the boot loader menu says:

Read through sticky thread in General section it will get you started.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186401
Not sure what version of 4EXT you have on your phone. Recommend you update it to a newer, if not the latest, version before you start flashing. Download recovery image file and flash via fastboot. Before installing a new ROM, choose "format all partitions except SD card' for a complete wipe.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377745
Your phone is S-on so remember to flash boot.img whenever you flash a new ROM, otherwise it would mostly fail to boot.
Try Cyanogenmod first, It's not the latest and greatest, but a good and safe ROM to get you started

Hi guys,
I hope you can give me some pointers?
I have in front of me a HTC ONE S, it's not mine but a friend of my son, they've tried to flash a new ROM, failed and it's sat in a drawer for months, he volunteered me to have a look!
The only info I have on the failed flashing process is that "this is as far as she got"! So I can only go on what I in front of me.
The phone is stuck in a reboot cycle and never appears to start to run, i only get the HTC logo.
I can boot into TWRP, so she's managed to unlock and install recovery.
I can mount USB storage and copy files onto phone, there were no files here, only what I've copied.
Any ROM I've downloaded just fails, message usually reports that it's failed to mount partition.
I don't know if this is a S3 or S4.
Information I have;
from the label under the rear cover
PJ40100
NM8PJ40100
From the recovery screen;

The version of TWRP is 2.2.1. I can see there's a newer TWRP, I guess I should update, how can I do this if I can't boot the phone?
So, from the above can I identify if it's a S3 or S4?
Do I need to format storage before flashing a ROM, or is there something else I need to do so I can successfully flash a new ROM?
Yours hopefully
Chris
I'm guessing I at least need to update TWRP, but I can't see a way of doing this with the current installed version other than via the phone OS.
What I can't find is an old ROM that works with this TWRP that I can just get running and work through the upgrades from there, anybody got any suggestions?
Chris
Ah ha, so I now know that I have a "soft brick"! I have managed to update TWRP to 2.8.7.0 I've tried a few ROMs but none boot, I'm therefore thinking that I've chosen an incompatible ROM? I still don't know what version of ONE S I have in front of me.
Googling "NM8PJ40100" seems inconclusive , but S4 comes up more than S3, can anyone provide any more definitive answers?
Please?
Chris
You have a European S4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2756192 for more info.
I've got it working, although I'm not really sure what the right combination was. I updated TWRP to 2.8.7.1 and tried flashing a few ROMS, but somewhere in that process I lost the ability to mount the SD card, and back to stuck in a boot loop.
Now more confident I reflashed TWRP 2.8.7.1, formated all phone partitions from within TWRP and mounted SD card. My PC didn't recognised the phone so I then formatted it from Windows, copied over ROM & GAPPS, flashed and now all OK.
I'm guessing the phone partitions got screwed somewhere, by me or by the owner, or both!
Finally got there and knowing what type of ROM I needed helped, so thank you kdd988!

Hi there Chris,
I am having the same problem with a girl's HTC One S as well (I can't remember if I had determine if it was and S3 or an S4 model). After going through the process to try to flash to custom ROM, during the process, it just gave this error message (can't remember what exactly unfortunately, was over 6 months ago), this was after wiping the Dalvik Cache, so I assume that clears out the original factory ROM?
So, somehow it got stuck in a similar fashion as you mentioned

This one, when you power it on, it goes straight to the CLockworkMod screen.
Can you tell me the exact procedure you used to get the ROM uploaded to the phone memory so then to flash it within the recovery interface.
The phone is no longer recognized as a device on the PC currently so no way to access the phone's internal memory to put the files on etc
Cheers
Ross
