Oh right thats a bit messed up oh well and it would be fat32
[HTC One S] rb420:
I keep getting this error :eek:
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Thats because you have S3 so you need to S3 stock recovery easy way to get it is from an OTA or can be got from RUU.
[HTC One S] rb420:
no i have s4, orginally with fido/rogers in canada.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Em but your other post says C2.

1.Make ur sdcard backup.

2.Go to phone settings-storage-unmount SD card.

3.Select Format SD card.****(in the phone itself)****.

4.After formatting mount the sdcard.

5.Finally the sdcard mounting problem will be eleminated.

6.Now u can root and install custom rom or anything...

enjoy rooting and also custom rom
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Thats fine if you have the phone working which most people don't.
[HTC One S] only1penny:
what is stock recovery?

instead of cwm can i use twrp?

when i try to flash recovery using this method i get - FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Go here if you losed sd.
[HTC One S] only1penny:
ya i've been all over that thread. it doesn' t answer any of my questions. my problem is that step 4 says flash recovery and i get FAILED "(remote: signature verify fail)" any help would be greatly appreciated. i would even flash ville ruu and start from scratch but i can' t get anything to flash. not twrp, not ruu. when i flash something the phone turns to black screen with silver htc but nothing happens. besides this it's the white htc screen or bootloader and when i try to go into recovery to check if i have it flashed it will go to the white htc screen with the red developer warning thing. but then it loops into the white htc screen with no writing. i can always get to bootloader and fastboot though. i just can't get anything to flash.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Em are you sure you have the S4? also have you tried another pc and cable?

Soft brick

Hello friends, I've got my new HTC One S S3 and I screwed it up :crying:

Now when i try to install the firmware over RUU's it never works, everytime a code 155 (what means incorrect "picture" - translated from czech language).

Dont know what to say to help you to help me, when I start the phone nothing happens (its a brick), if I use the - volume so i get into the fastboot, where is

Now i see only

VILLEC2 PVT SHIP S-ON RL

HBOOT-2.09.0001

RADIO-16.05.20.24_M

OpenDSP-v05.6.0.2226.00.0418

eMMC-boot

May 10 2012, 17:19:49

...

and if I move into recovery its something from Team Win Recovery Project v2.4.1.0

You have some idea, what RUU i should use, or how can I make it working please?

In my stupidity I wiped the backup too :(
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Bootloader needs to be locked for it to work.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
Before you wrote this, my friend sent me some "trickdroid" which installet, but after restarting the phone it went black.

Now I locked the BL, installed the RUU, it worked a lot more time, but now the error 132: signiture error.

:(
[HTC One S] Darknites:
The RUU has to match your CID.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
thats bad, becouse I've found, that i have the J15 and I cant find any RUU, or jellybean :( do you have any Idea?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
If you had the JB OTA then not much you can do but if not then it is possible to buy the needed RUU.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
Ive had the original software, doesnt matter what i put in now, i only need a working phone

Where can I buy this RUU please??

And one more question, is the RUU, or backup the same for One S and One X?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
There a dude in the one x but was here but his name is a bit like football but its not like that if you get what I mean lol but I'm sure if you look for RUUs over there you will see him.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
:D

i think I've found the football player, so you think, that its possible, to install the One X J15 to One S?

I've found this, would be great if it work, bud I have to figure out, how it works.. I dont understand this "fastboot flash boot path/to/boot.img" - how to write in the boot

[HTC One S] only1penny:
when i went through the unlock process at htcdev it said s4 and besides i thought the s3 was a world/euro and i'm on tmobile.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
No that won't work there was a user that you could buy RUU's from you just have to find him.

Oh missed the T-Mobile bit. Hmm have you tried another pc and cable?
[HTC One S] only1penny:
yes, actually i got it to (after clearing system & resetting or whatever it says in the other thread you suggested) recognize the sd in twrp. then i was able to have the pc reformat the sdcard to fat32. then i was relocked with aio kit so i was gonna flash ruu but i couldn't find a ruu zip only exe. so instead of zipping it with winrar, i, with aio kit, unlocked, flashed recovery put a custom rom on my phone. it says the flash was successful but then it hangs in boot animation. i tried jellybam 3.3 (known working rom) and dark jelly s (cm10.0) and they both hang in boot animation. over 20 min. what next?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Are you fastbooting the boot.img?
[HTC One S] kapilrtn:
Htc One S ville C2

for mount sd ext

install super su via fastboot mod
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
OK, thanks, i try to find him.

Another question, is it possible, if i dont get the right RUU, to install any other software, to make the phone working?
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
Now I tried some trickdroid

TrickDroid v4.0.0 (One S C2)

Category: international

Tags:android, custom rom, htc one s, jelly bean, update

New build for the HTC One S (Ville C2) with S3 processor:

First I copied the ROM, Bootflash script and CWM SuperSU, after it I flash the ROM, SuperSU and rebooted into bootloader. Changed to fastboot and used the script to flash the boot.img. Restarted the phone and.. nothing :(

All of it was with no problems, dont know what to do more :(
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Try v3 instead.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
So, now I installed the version 3, but after starting the phone, there is the HTC logo, and after it some turning rings (from trickdroid), after more than 5 minutes nothing changes and the rings are still turning..
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Hmm I would give it 10mins but go into TWRP and do factory reset and then wipe system then flash the rom and wait 10mins.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
It works! :D

After reading some issues with bootloop, I installed v2 and it works, no Iam going to install v3 again (without wiping), I hope it will then work too :)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Ya the S3 is a picky about it roms but if you ever get an ruu you be able to have more up to date rom.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
No I've installed the v3 and it still work, maybe I will try the v4 too, hope it will work now :)

The problem was, I didnt know, that I have to wait the minutes..
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Unless you had 4.0.4 before using a rom then it wont work.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
OK, thanks a lot for your support!! :good:
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Np dude.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
One more question, if I install this

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...-for-htc-one-s-rolling-out-throughout-europe/ (i hope it should work, becouse, this was the update the phone told me to install before the crash was done) can I after it install the trickdroid v4?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Thats best done on a stock rom and also need stock recovery to install.
[HTC One S] CharlitoCZ:
um, dont know if I understand right, so this cant be installed? (i was in mind, that this is a stock rom * the RUU)

or this

http://trickdroid.org/trickdroid-5-0-0-one-s-c2/

Wont work too? (I try to get the 4.1.1 android)
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Its an ATO and not a RUU.
[HTC One S] aph12:
I'm a real noob please help

My sd card wont read and ive been following the directions to retrieve it. I downloaded the all in on toolkit and now the first step is to flash recovery back to stock. The only recovery's offered are twrp for s3 and s4. Am I looking at this all wrong or what am i not doing? Does it mean i need to relock bootloader and flash stock ruu?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Go here to fix it, its much more helpful.
[HTC One S] thecweaver111:
STUCK!

I really need help.

I tried the original method of using the all-in-one to flash the stock bootloader, but my phone stayed on CWM!! i am running CWM v.5.8.3.1 and it has been like this for at least a week... this happened when i accidentally wiped my phone with no backup. i only did so because i was stuck at the boot animation of CM10, and wasnt exactly sure of what else to do.

i cannot seem to navigate away from it!! i cannot mount the sd card, all commands from my computer are useless because the phone itself has no storage that can be viewed, and the everytime i try to flash the stock bootloader i get the picture attached below...the phone reboots, and than returns back to the same old CWM!! i have tried everything, from adb pushes to using this method to going around frantically in all forums looking for help...

So please, all help, replies, comments, and insights are appreciated..
[HTC One S] Darknites:
You have to be in fastboot mode and if you still have issues try rebooting the pc or use a different port or reinstall the drivers.
[HTC One S] thecweaver111:
update the drivers? which ones? the htc drivers? the drivers for SDK? sorry but i really want to be sure of what i am doing to my phone... and thank you for the help.
[HTC One S] thecweaver111:
more and more tweaking

I just updated SDK, and than tried to use the all in one. no good, still returns to clockwork mod.. god this is frustrating. i am not sure what else i can do. i rebooted my computer, switched the usb port i usually would use, updated the SDK library... etc. going to try adb pushing and some other commands. and how do i get from CWM to fastboot? i am so confused as to waht to do...
[HTC One S] Darknites:
SDK is not a driver. Try reinstalling the drivers for the phone.
[HTC One S] thecweaver111:
ok, and how exactly? and i still cant get to fastboot from CWM... i am sorry but this is not my area of speciality. i dont usually screw up a root :|
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Hold the power down and when the buttons start flashing start holding Vol- when it stops flashing let go of the power but still holding Vol- then press and hold the power button for a fews sec and should boot into the bootloader.
[HTC One S] thecweaver111:
more trouble

Ok, i uninstalled the drivers, and reinstalled from the all in one. than i used the all in one to try to flash the stock bootloader. no success... i just cant seem to get the phone to be seen on the computer

---------- Post added at 02:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------

finnally got CWM to go away, thank you!! i followed the instructions for the all in one, and flashed stock and than CWM again, but i still cant see my phone available on the computer... do i still push CM10 through adb unto my phone? i mean, i still have CM10 on my phone already,,, but i will need to use cmd to start the boot animation manually. i am not completely sure if this is the right path...

I'm not sure if this is the exact problem I'm having, but I no longer can get any of my media off of phone storage. And it doesn't mount when I connect via usb to my pc. Using root explorer, I can find my files, and my phone storage reads correctly in terms of space available (some is being used), but when connected it reads unavailable. All of my ringtones, notification tones and pictures are there and unable to be used.

I used the all in one One S toolkit. I pushed TWRP 4 to my phone, then did perm root. I have since gone back to stock recovery, cleared storage and still nothing. (I'm also rooted, stock, no ROM.))Any help would be appreciated...I didn't want to start a new thread because this one is so similar.

if possible could someone walk me through it step by step?

thanks in advance, now praying:angel:
[HTC One S] rootrider:
Mate, felt since 2000 years we pray using TWRP not CWM.

Second thing to do: Check your bootloader version, if it's > 1.09 you'll need to flash the kernel (boot.img, you'll find it in nearly any nameoftherom.zip, just extract it) in your phones fastboot mode with 'fastboot flash boot boot.img'.

Mate i promise: All your trouble will be gone.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Inside your OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_1.11.50. 05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301852xf01hejl416oev96-1 folder, you should find a file named firmware.zip. Unzip it, and you should find a file named recovery.img or recovery_signed.img.

That's a stock recovery image.

After you flash the stock recovery, doing a factory reset or clearing storage in bootloader menu should make it mountable again. (Empty!! but mountable.)
[HTC One S] stevieag:
Gods of the highest order

Thanks, my phone is almost alive now.

i did as said and now can get into the phone and see the sdcard

cant mount usb as it says no ums lunfile. ill fight abit further but all i can say is your the best
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
You can adb push a rom to your sdcard and then flash it in recovery.
[HTC One S] stevieag:
finally got somewhere

1. You guys are awsome

2. its been a baptism of fire

after going round in circles as my phone would not show to adb etc

finally i got to pushing the rom and gapps

they would not show in sdcard after push but by renaming them to update.zip they were seen and installed

i now have cm 10 on my phone

thanks
[HTC One S] stevieag:
cm 10?

Keep crashing now?

what rom is best for use at the moment? i need it to be stable

going to try trickdroid 5?

will the ota i downloaded work? anything special i need to do to run?

Can i go back to stock? and how if so
[HTC One S] crakarjax:
Anyone know what is causing this corruption of the sdcard partition? It only happens when I flash new roms. I updated from one nightly to the next and the sdcard got corrupted. I also had lots of errors until I manually flashed the ROM's boot.img... not sure if the mismatched boot.img and ROM would cause this but I thought that TWRP or CWM would flash the boot.img for me... perhaps not.

It seems to be easily fixed at least by flashing stock recovery->clear storage/factory reset -> flash modded recovery.
[HTC One S] philipjacobs:
Can't get this to flash correctly

Hi,

Maybe someone can help me. I feel like I've been reading a lot but still getting stuck. I have the ALL IN ONE KIT and follow the directions but once I get to the part to load the default recovery, nothing happens. I'm a total noob at this and just need some step by step stuff.

I unlocked the phone no problem, then I installed the Team Win Recovery Project following directions here...

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_ville

Once I instaled the rom, it has never booted and I cannot get it back to custom at all. I've tried everything everone here has talked about.

So for whatever reason, I can't get the all in one to work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I manually flashed the TWRPS4.img without using the kit. Followed the directions but the TWRP recovery is still there.

Thanks.

SD Card Error

Last time I had this problem I resolved it by changing my recovery from Clockwork to TWRP using the All-in-One and it would then mount ok. Hope this helps someone.

[HTC One S] gooner98:

Thanks.
[HTC One S] philipjacobs:
Is there a way to get my phone recognized so i can use fastboot. I'm guessing no one has looked at my previous posts. I do not know what else to do at this point. The phone is useless. Doesn't boot into recovery or with a normal rom.

adb devices shows nothing while it's plugged in. Windows seems to recognize it, but I'm guessing I need to turn on debugging. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do this if I can't get it to boot anything but bootloader.

hopefully someone replies.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
AW: [HOW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard

Yes mate. Read your posts. In fact, last time no photos showed in your link and your description was way too vague.

Now I see you get into boatloader. It shows a healthy boatloader on your pics.

So why don't you just flash a recovery and then a ROM or run a RUU to get it back to stock? The state the phone is in in the pictures is completely normal and easy to recover into a running android system. Nothing fancy needed there. Ask you'd need to do is look up how to fastboot flash a recovery.

[EDIT]

Just seen you had another post a page back describing your ventures with the toolkit. Leave that alone it's an easy thing for beginners but it's also obfuscating the things and processes happening underneath it so I recommend to not use it because it makes learning harder.

First off, my above comments are still valid. The photos show a live and healthy hboot. From there on you can actually relock, RUU, then back to where you where.

Sent from Viper 2.2
[HTC One S] Red Dread:
I'm trying to unbrick my One S using this method, and am hitting a peculiar problem. My SD seems to me mounted, as I have the 'unmount' option available in CWM. I've then tried to push several ROMs over via adb using the 'push utb.zip \sdcard' command. Something definitely happens, as I get a message telling me the following

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push utb.zip \sdcard

1447 KB/s (176351235 bytes in 118.952s)

The issue is that the amount of KB pushed is nowhere near as many as the size of the ROM. This happens whenever I I try to push one, be it CM10, Miui or UTB. Subsequently, when I try to find a zip file on the phone to flash, I get a 'no files found' message. I've also tried flashing to stock recovery, relocking it and using RUU to go back to the stock ROM (Orange UK), but this just keeps saying it can't update my ROM (presumably because there's no ROM on there to update? I'm guessing here).

I'm at the end of my tether. Any help would be appreciated!
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
Change to TWRP 2.3.3.0. This works better than CWM.

Try making a folder in the SD Card called ROMs and then do adb push utb.zip /sdcard/ROMs

Once again, try the ROMs folder. Also, try Viper. I don't like it personally but it's reliable.

You have to make sure that the RUU is for the correct CID (we both have the joy of being stuck with ORANG001, which I still have found no RUU for). You could try to change the CID to HTC__001, if you know how to do that.
[HTC One S] Red Dread:
Thanks for the pointers. I've tried a few times to switch to TWRP, via All-In-One tools, but keep getting stuck at the HTC logo screen whenever I try to boot into recovery. CWM and stock Recovery are fine when flashed the same way.

Re a new folder on the SD. I can't access it to do that. The only way I see it is as mounted in CWM. I can't do anything with it other than that.

The RUU I founds was called RUU_Ville_U_Orange_UK_1.78.61.5_Radio_0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L_release_258995_signed - I figured this would be the right one, but maybe not...

Also just found this one at Android files via a link in All-In-One. I can't post the link yet as I haven't posted enough, but it is called -RUU_VILLEC2_U_ICS_40_Orange_UK_1.11.61.126_Radio_16.13.20.02U_16.05.20.24_M_release_268587_signed.exe
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
This is just a guess, as I'm not certain, did you do the 4.1.1 update that came out in January? Because I have a feeling that that top RUU is a 4.0.2 one, and I don't think that you can downgrade. And also, check your phone's box. Is it a 1.5Ghz or 1.7Ghz processor? If it is 1.7Ghz, then the bottom one should work. If it is 1.5Ghz, then the bottom one will not work, as that is designed for the 1.7Ghz variant.

Also, I can't explain why TWRP doesn't work, it should work with no problem.
[HTC One S] Red Dread:
Ah, I see. That might explain it. I did get that update, yeah, though at the moment have no ROM installed at all, as I can't, so would that apply?

I have a 1.5g processor, so an S3, I'm led to believe, so it seems the second one won't work either. God, what a pain in the backside...
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
1.5Ghz is the S4 variant, 1.7Ghz is the S3/Ville C2 variant. Try CM10.1, that's very good, the only bad thing about CM10.1 in my opinion is slight screen tearing at times. If that doesn't work then try everything again. Remember, when adb pushing to the SD Card, use the forward slash for the destination, not the backwards slash.
[HTC One S] Red Dread:
That's why TWRP didn't work, then. I was flashing the S3 version! Will try again. I was using the \ when pushing, too. Hmmm...

EDIT - Wait a second. TWRP worked like a charm this time. Mounted SD Card, copied CM10 to it and now installing....

I have a very pretty CyanogenMod Boot screen...

I still have a very pretty CyanogenMod boot screen 5 mins later, but I know this is usual when installing a new ROM...
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
I'm surprised the phone still bloody works if you flashed the wrong recovery, on multiple occasions!
