Hi everybody,
I unlocked the bootloader of my One S successfully with htcdev.com and next I wanted to flash a recovery image via fastboot, what succeeded. I used this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1583427
But when try to start the recovery, the phone hangs in the boot screen with the red text "This build is for development..." and does not start recovery.
I tried several recovery images for the ville but none could be started.
What i recognized is, that in the Video "How to Install Recovery in HTC One S" in the thread mentioned above, the Bootloader screen locks slightly different, than mine.
First of all, mine only says "Unlocked" but NOT "Tampered" and second the first green line says:
VILLEC2 PVT SHIP S-ON RL
whereas in the video one can see the line
VLE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
I attached a pic of my bootloader.
So I think my phone is a newer One S, right? Is there already working Recovery out there?
Or am I missing something else?
Thx a lot in advance for any hint
Do you have CWM installed?
sure, as I wrote in my first post. I tried several CWM Recovery Images... the interim one, the actual original one for the One S... no image boots...
Well, it doesnt look like the your phone is rooted.
Try TWRP. Quality recovery.

Tampered means rooted. Everything else looks updated. Try to root then see what happens. You may need to root to flash cwm over stock. Not really sure. I just do both always and they work.

What am I missing?
I unlocked the Bootloader on htcdev.com, did the whole thing with entering the token, download the Unlock_code.bin, upload it to phone, said "Yes, unlock bootloader" and so on.. and the bootloader sais, it IS unlocked. If it where not, I wouldn't be able at all to flash a recovery image with fastboot, but this also succeeds (fastboot said "OKAY" when uploaded to phone and "OKAY" when flashed), right?
And the next step after unlocking bootloader IS flashing a recovery image like CWM for then using it to flash the Superuser.zip for gaining root, isn't it? Or am I completely wrong?
Try booting normaly and then connecting the phone to your computer and do adb reboot recovery i know i had problems similar to this when i first flashed a recovery and doing that for the first time fixed it

You can gain root access through stock recovery as long as you unlocked bootloader. Did you try Hasoon2000's all in one tool kit?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using xda premium
Yeah Try the adb reboot recovery method, If that fails, flash the superboot root image, then use something like rom manager to download CWM to the phone.
@stumpyz9: This did not work, same as if i would start recovery from Bootloader
@dooshbag45: I re-locked and unlocked the bootloader again, nothing changed, it is "UNLOCKED" but not "TAMPERED". Yes, I also tried Hasoon2000's Root Kit and recognized, it just does nothing other, than 1. unlock bootloader and 2. flash a Recovery Image. This had the identical result...
I meanwhile tried these recoveries:
r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img
recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.2.4-ville.img
recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.3.1-ville.img
twrp217.img (inculded in Hasoon2000's Kit)
CWM5824.img (inculded in Hasoon2000's Kit)
Now I tried to recover the stock recovery image from the modaco.com site, named "ville_recovery_signed.img"
but this doesn't start either... WTF...
Tampered does not mean ur rooted I had that problem left phone on stock for a week then tried same method again must of been doing Something wrong learn how to do it manually but if u can't download all in one toolkit HTC.one s I think that's what's it called it will unlock bootloader flash and root
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
@azzledazzle: the superboot method didn't work either... downloaded it, fastbooted it, the phone boots but..... remains in the red-text screen as it does when try to boot a recovery image .... I really think it has something to do with the newer HBOOT Version and the "VILLEC2" thing.. something in booting images works other than in the version before...
Just download all in one toolkit HTC one s

@k1llacanon: The All-in-one toolkit didn't work as I posted earlier. This was one of the first things I tried...
I had that problem when rooting mine left it for a week learnt more about my phone and did it and it worked u must be doing Something wrong

Direct fastboot booting of a recovery image also does not work:
"fastboot boot r2-modaco-recovery-clockwork-touch-ville.img"
same result...
@k1llacanon: This is not the first phone I root... did it with the Wildfire S and the old Desire... it worked the same way... unlock bootloader, flash recovery image.. what can be done wrong with these 2 simple steps? What did you do other?
Have you got
Fastboot (unticked)
USB Debugging (ticked)

Dont pay attention to that idiot, he obviously has no idea what hes doing either.
And if you think it is because of this newer version have you checked to see if anyone else with the newer version has been having the same problems? Just to confirm thats it

Hi all, im looking for a bit of help in recovering my orange uk one s. I had unlocked the bootloader, rooted and installed cwm mod recovery without any problems.
I decided i wanted to do the ota 4.04 update which is where my problems started. I read that you needed to restore stock recovery and relock the bootloader to do this, which i did and now the phone wont boot
I can access the bootloader and recovery ok and can unlock and relock the bootloader ok. I still have the original cwm back up i made when i first rooted the phone, have tried to restore this without any joy.
There doesent seem to be a an orange uk ruu out there which would be the easiest way to recover the phone and im presuming i need the phone up and running properly to change to super cid to install a general ruu.
Does anyone out there have any ideas or suggestions to help me restore my phone ?
I know this has been posted before but i have spent the last two days going round in circles trying to fix this, any help greatly appreciated

boot into bootloader
unlock bootloader if you haven't alredy unlocked it
install twrp recovery (because its better than CWM with S-ON)
change your CID to Super CID or a Generic one like "HTC_001"
install stock recovery
relock bootloader
Install European RUU.
It's not bricked if you can get into the bootloader or if the screen turns on.
A brick is what it says, the screen doesn't turn on, nothing works, not the bootloader, not recovery, nothing.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I got sorted this afternoon (I posted this in another thread) using that method. for some reason i couldnt get into adb shell before installing twrp. Wverything all up and running again.
Hi everyone,
About 2 days ago my phone crashed while I was using it and since then it won't boot up properly, all I see is the HTC logo followed by a black screen and back to the HTC logo, I think it's called a bootloop?
I can access the bootloader menu I think it's called (hold vol down + power button), I've tried recovery and factory reset, neither work, I went to the HTC dev website to unlock my bootloader menu and those options still do nothing
I'd like to add I've NEVER rooted my phone or added any custom firmware or anything like that, so I've no clue why my phone has done this, I've seen several similarly related threads but they've usually done something wrong while rooting their phone, nevertheless I've tried so many different things but nothing seems to work, I've tried to S-OFF using juopunutbear, I've tried flashing boot with various "boot.img", I've tried flashing recovery with "4EXTrecovery..." I've tried to flash with RUU, NOTHING works, I'm at the end of my tether and have pretty much given up, I've spent so many hours trying so many things :crying:
This is what it says on my bootloader screen...
*** UNLOCKED ***

Any input is appreciated, it'd be nice if I can get my phone fixed and it can help anyone else in my situation
Hi! So what recovery do you have at the moment? You should be able to flash 4ext recovery. When you do that, you will be able to flash a rom. Here is the thread you should follow! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631861 Do everything exactly! as it is written there and you should be ok to go.
edit: If you would like to install a completely stock rom, you will find this thread useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1672425 (If you want to install RUU, you must relock your bootloader! You find all the info how to do it in the thread!) Good luck! Your phone will be OK!

Hi matekaneve, thank you for your response
I've come across that thread before, it doesn't work for me unfortunately :/
Despite the 4EXT recovery image successfully writing to my phone, each time I select recovery on the menu, my phone goes into bootloop again and the recovery menu doesn't load so I can't go any further than step 3 on the thread you posted
Has anyone run into this before?
That's weird... Have you tried re-download and reinstall the 4ext? Or have you tried another recovery like CWM for instance?
What about installing the RUU? Relock your your bootloader and install the right ruu?

I relocked my bootloader menu, downloaded the correct RUU, ran the programme, it finished successfully, took around 20 minutes in total, it said my ROM has been updated and my phone was ready for use but it's STILL stuck in bootloop! This is so frustrating

It's okay, I appreciate your efforts anyway!
I give up now, I'm tired of getting my hopes up thinking it can be fixed and then having it fail again
I know I won't be getting a HTC ever again, this isn't the first time this phone has given me trouble, time to jump on the iPhone bandwagon me thinks :good:

Boot into the bootloader with POWER and VOL DOWN. If you're going to give up and get an iPhone, I won't be helping you though, since I don't like people who give up easily. What HBOOT version does it say?

AW: [Q] Another HTC Sensation XE bootloop thread, PLEASE help!! :/
Fastboot is unlock ? I think you have bootloader unlock by htc dev.
And you tried Download a custom Rom or an original ruu with s-on.
? Did you flashed an recovery ?

3 weeks ago when i had the same problem i tried to use ruu, but it fails because it cannot boot.
4ext recovery is installed now, but i can't boot to recovery anymorge, because it hangs on the HTC logo (sort of bios logo)
i hope you have some ideas that i can try.
thx

try to reflash the recovery again
already tried, but after the command fastboot reboot the phone boots with hte htc logo and than its going into the boot loop again...
so i think that the mainboard is exploded or something, but could that be possible by using a custom rom?
thnx

After i wanted to install a custom rom on my sensation, it doesnt boot up.
1. First of all i unlocked the bootloader on htcdev.com. But i disconected it when it asked me on the phone if i am sure to unlock the bootloaders. It gets a black screen but at the hboot it says they are unlocked. So i continued.
2. I flashed the recovery (with fastboot) which was explained in this threat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1864053
But i didnt was s-off.
Until there the phone worked fine.
3. So i flashed this rom after a fullwipe:

Now it doesnt boots up, it stucks at the HTC Screen, what can i do?

I'm assuming you installed cwm recovery, if so you can either flash the boot.img or a much simpler thing is just flash 4ext recovery and enable smart flash. And then flash the rom as you did last time. P. S for questions post in the questions forum.

Thank you!!!!!!
It works now.
i flashed the rom with 4ext recovery
I was helping my friend switch to a custom rom and I messed up. His One XL was on 4.1.1 with 3.18 software. I managed to temporarily change the CID by followin guides and unlock the bootloader using htcdev.com. The problem began after I tried to flash boot.img, from an One X rom because I thought this is a One X(ATT's naming). Now the device is stuck in a recovery boot loop. Once in a while I can get out of it and get to the bootloader. From there I'd erase cache, flash new recovery (TWRP for One XL), flash correct boot.img, go into recovery and flash rom. However, upon finishing install the reboot will start the recovery boot loop again. The phone keeps trying to boot recovery instead of normal boot on restart and gets stuck. I've tried both CWM and TWRP, wiped many times, but it refuses to boot normally. Every time after the logos for the rom plays the phone reboots. Unlocked bootloader but no root or S-off. What can I do?
Thanks
What ROM are you tying to flash? And are you sure you're flashing the boot.img from that ROM zip?
Out of interest, is there a reason your friend isn't doing this himself? Handing an unlocked phone to someone who hasn't undergone the learning experience of actually unlocking the device and researching the ins and outs of a modified phone is a pretty terrible idea.

Wouldn't it be advisable if he formatted and ran a ruu? Sounds like he messded up his bootloader with a incompatible ROM.
Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk
He can't run an RUU. The fact that he flashed a boot.img would suggest that he's s-on, he mentioned changing the CID which suggests that he has SuperCID. S-on + SuperCID + jb RUU = brick.
