1.) holding the down volume + power
2.) holding the home button + power
3.) holding the back button +power

oI flashed cwm over to my root, bootloader is unlocked and everything. but when I go into recovery mode I get a black screen with nothing on it, and no touch funtion or anything . I thoughght it was bricked until I held the power button for 10 seconds and my computer registered it as being disconnected through usb and the charge light came on . I then flashed twrp over and still, nothing in recovery mode . just a black screen with my computer registering usb input. I don't know what to do. I had to restart it many times pressing the volume down button, holding down power button ect. before it would boot normally but the recoverymode leads to nothing

My Orange San Francisco 2 is stuck an Orange logo loop and won't go pass. I tried booting with power and volume button up and nothing happens, phone just vibrates with red light on. When I press volume button down and power, it shows an FTM screen which I don't know what it is. Can someone please help me how to install clockwork recovery so that I can then flash a new ROM please
This would be called a bricked phone.
For help refer to the unbricking project of your device.
This morning I tried to install CyanogenMod 10.2 (stable) for my HTC One S. I followed the instructions over here:
wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_ville
Things were going well, untill this part:
3 Boot to recovery mode on the device by holding With the device powered down, hold the Volume Down and Power buttons until HBOOT appears, then release the buttons. Navigate using the volume keys and select RECOVERY using the Power key..
4 Once the device boots into the ClockworkMod Recovery, use the physical volume buttons to move up and down. On most devices, the power button is used to confirm your selection, although for some devices the power button is used as a "back" button to go up one level, in which case the home button is used to confirm the selection.
First I had issues with the recovery mode. I got the red exclamation mark/triangle, meaning my HTC was in stock recovery mode. After following these instructions: theandroidroot.com/how-to-install-clockworkmod-custom-recovery-on-htc-one/
I succeeded (with the 6.0.4.6 version of this site: clockworkmod.com/rommanager])
I was also able to get to the CWM recovery mode, but when I tried to install zip from sdcard, the error appeared that sdcard0 was not mounted.
Fastboot is still working, but when I try to copy the zip file again with ADB I get the message that device is not found. With command ADB devices, the attached device list that is returned is empty.
I'm stuck now. I cannot copy the zip file with the ROM to my phone and again I'm having problems to get to CWM recovery mode (phone is in a boot loop with the HTC logo and the red text below when I start recovery mode from HBOOT). What do you recommend?
Just hold the power button for 10 sec and your phone will turn off.Then try again to get in recovery again with power+vol down.

Unfortunately that's not helping. I'm getting the screen with HTC logo and following red text:
This build is for development purposes only Do not distribut oustide of HTC without HTC's written permission etc.
After a while, screen turns black. I can go to fastboot/Hboot, but these are my only options apparently.
Hi, I had the same issue in hboot 2.16 because of recovery version (Unable to mount sdcard/adb didn't work and more issues)
Fixed it using openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-ville
Try different versions of CWM/TWRP
Check the forum!!
There is a threat how to flash RUU via fastboot....but be careful if you don not want to brick your device.I'm pretty sure that your problem is well describe somewhere.

Thanks for your replies. Eventually I fixed it (with TWRP) and some searches through this forum. I had to erase all my data, but in the end the internal storage was available again and I flashed the Cyanogenmod succesfully
Can someone report this thread to get moved to q&a. I can't do so on mobile

Hello, I just unlocked bootloader, flashed custom recovery (clockwork 6.0.4.8), and gained root on my HTC One S. I then attempted to install a custom ROM, (cyanogen 12.1).
After installing and telling Clockwordmod to reboot, I believe I am in a boot loop. The white HTC screen pops up and then goes to black and stays there. When I plug my phone into my computer, I get the connection and chime, and a new device appears in Device Manager called "HTC MTP Device." When I am in fastboot mode, my phone is shown as "Android ADB Interface" in device manager, so this is different. This leads me to believe that my phone is not dead or off, it is on with a blank screen. I do not believe my computer will recognize a device that is not powered on.
I have HTC Sync Manager and I have the option for it to automatically pop up when a device is connected. It pops up, but with an error saying HTC Sync Manager could not connect to your phone.
I am able to hard-reset the phone, by holding down the Power button for several seconds. However, this just repeats the process (White HTC logo screen, then black screen). I am not able to enter bootloader or recovery by holding down Volume and Power. I have tried Volume Up + Power, Volume Down + Power, and Volume Up + Volume Down + Power.
Also adb no longer recognizes my device, so I can not interact with the phone that way either.
Currently, my only idea is to allow my phone to die so I can try booting it into recovery from power off. But if there are any other ideas that would be great.
Right before I rebooted, after installing the ROMs, I got a message saying something like "Root possibly lost, do you want to fix root." I said yes, could this be part of the issue?
I am on Windows 10.

Just in case anyone stumbles on this. You can boot into the bootloader by Holding down the Power Button for several seconds, the soft buttons will blink, indicated ensuing reboot, when they stop blinking, hold Volume Down until you get to the bootloader menu. The phone does not need to be powered off for this. From there, adb/fastboot will recognize your phone, and you can factory reset if needed.
However, I figured out my problem. On older HTC models, including the HTC One S, you have to manually flash the boot.img file that is included in the zip for your ROM.
But now I've made it to the cyanogenmod boot screen and am stuck there. sigh. i've been at this literally all day.
In the end, I just flash a different rom, specially Candy5 as found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-one-s/development/rom-t2964931 and it worked.
It's possible I accidentally flashed a rom that was incompatible with my device, not sure.
EDIT: I also switched from CWM to TWRP. Not sure if that helped.

I have broken volume down button, what can i do? face the same problem
What does it mean by manually flash boot.img? After flashing a custom rom, do not reboot first but flash the boot.img via twrp which can be found in zip for the rom?
