I have also tried many times to unbrick mine htc one s. I Did not work. Untill i tried something different at step 3.

3) Go back to the all-in-one-kit and flash a CWM recovery version again.

At this point it is very improtant

not

to flash the recovery "Clock WorkMod Touch" instead you have to flash TWRP S4.

Now you will be able to mount and format the sd card. You can sent one or more rom's to the sd card.

And you will be able to install them.

Good luck

To flash an stock recovery RUU succesfull, it is very important to look for an RUU with the same radio that is running on your device.

Good luck
[HTC One S] devilsneck:
I had the same problem when I accidentally selected factory reset instead of selecting recovery option in bootloader mode.

I just mounted my sd card in usb mode from twrp recovery and formatted it from my pc in fat32, copied a rom zip and flashed it!

Oh and I had to reflash the recovery via fastboot also before installing the rom zip.

[HTC One S] khan.orak:
you may try the adb method.

adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/

replace DCIM with the pics folder or leave it as it is if it contains the files. Execute the command and you'll have the whole folder inside adb folder copied.
[HTC One S] thewonderer:
I have the HTC One S S3 and put TWRP and Villec2 CM10.2 on it.

It seems to work pretty good for an early build but today i lost my SD card.

I've been looking at this thread and can see i need a stock ROM to put on my S3... does it have to be the same as my carrier?

I don't know all the acronyms of the post but will have to learn if i am to get my SD card back.
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Not a stock ROM, a stock Recovery only.

A stock recovery can be found in the forums

OR

from an OTA.zip

OR

from an RUU.exe
[HTC One S] spavodka:
Thanks a lot but really don't know how to do it ...? You mean I have to get the black screen first and then type adb?

Please tell me how to do step by step

But how can I get the black screen with prompt and I am afraid PC will not recognise my phone. But it does have sound from PC when conncected.

But in folder I cannot see the phone

Thank you very much....
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Yes the black command screen on PC.

Go to the second link in my signature and read its prerequisites and common steps only and then use adb pull method. It will take you through.
[HTC One S] spavodka:
made ldsthati

How can I get to the black screen?

And what is your second link on your signature? Is this it : Get back to Stock Using OTA zip???

As I told you before ...I need in simple language step by step otherwise I am guessing and will destroy my phone more:(:eek:

Thanks again for your time and patience
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
yes that's the link. Just read its PRE REQUISITES and COMMON STEPS to get an idea on using FASTBOOT AND ADB. Then refer to my previous post.
[HTC One S] spavodka:
Really I already got stucked at the beginning. Too complicated. I downloaded the adb for the pc. I opened command promp. So what now???

I have to download OTA zip. But is does not work because it does not exist anymore. Then I try too choose one more below in the website but there are so many. Dont know which one to choose.

I am sorry but as I mentioned before .....I dont know all the terms and names. I need easy language.

[HTC One S] khan.orak:
I asked you to read the Pre reqs and common steps only. Not the whole tutorial.

You just have to download adb, open command prompt, and connect your phone. Then enter the following command.

adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/

In place of the DCIM you can write the pics folder name if it is different.
[HTC One S] spavodka:
Hi again.

I tried the adb pull in the black screen of the adb folder. I got bunch of text, that is it

Nothing is happening.

I am using CM 10.2, 4.3 android.

It is like the other half of my storage has disappeard.:(

What else can I do? I also have downloaded a ADB pull software and it show nothing. I canot even scan my phone .

It is like the phone is not connected. But my phone does say Fastboot USB

:crying::crying:
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Check the Adb folder, is there any addition of files/folder

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

SD corruption then maybe.

Must reformat with stock recovery. Then using some data recovery software to recover photos.
[HTC One S] spavodka:
Well I have tried other adb command just to see if my phone is recognized. I tried the bootloader recovery command and it worked.

And my pictures are in folder Camera

I tried to pull but nothing is happening except a lot of text in command window
[HTC One S] thewonderer:
Hi.

where can i get the all in one toolkit from? I've tried the links from the forum/dev but they are all down. I have the villec2.

When i try and use adb push command and i am in fastboot usb it comes up with 'error: device not found'

UPDATE: Went into recovery mode and adb can access my phone.
[HTC One S] spavodka:
Any tips?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Clear storage with stock recovery and then use DATA RECOVERY software??

Also, have you tried the Adb pull command while in the recovery? (Twrp or stock)
[HTC One S] spavodka:
Well I tried the adb pull in Fastboot USB and when the phone is on....both times whole bunch of text and adb command coming out.

Then I was wondering maybe I am using the wrong directory? I remember there is a folder Camera where all my pictures are....

So I tried adb pull/sdcard/Camera but unfortunately nothing

TWRP the mount botton does noet work.....A sd manager app does not see sd card

So you think I just format or clear everything and reinstall stock? I am using a software which will do the wipe and installation.

Which data recovery software I can use afterwards..?

Thanks again
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
I was asking if you can enter the TWRP and from there use ADB pull command.

The command is

adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/

The slash at the end of directory Is necessary.
[HTC One S] spavodka:
Yes I have tried this command many times......nothing. Just a list of adb commands are listed

What do you mean by TWRP? I have an app on my computer Teamwin TWRP. In this app I also cannot mount the sd card
[HTC One S] thewonderer:
Looks like i've lost my SD card again. Upgraded to latest CM 10.2 after wipe dalvik and cache. Then went into twrm and installed ROM from phone, rebooted and it started upgrading ok. Realised I hadn't done boot.img from ADB so went into fastboot usb and did the commands. Then it rebooted but stays on boot screen. Went back into twrm and tried wiping dalvik and cache again but it came up with errors and no sd card!

Can someone help please.

Adb can't find device, can't mount sd card.

Can someone please help me? I have an One S, S4 version, which is S-ON. I tried flashing a CyanogenMod 11 for it, and it worked fine. I also flashed Gapps. But when I booted in to CynanogenMod (I had to use fastboot to boot) it couldn't find a SD-card. So I booted in to CWM recovery, and it couldn't mount it. So I found this thread and tried the first method. I found the original recovery, flashed it, but when I tried to open it, a red triangle with an exclamation mark inside popped up. I waited, an after a while the recovery opened. It too said it couldn't mount the SD-card, but I tried formatting everything that I could format (I don't know if this was smart or not).

So now I am here, with no rom installed. I tried opening bootloader and going into to fastboot, then I type "adb devices" in cmd, but my device isn't shown. What do I do?
[HTC One S] tivofool:
The point of the stock recovery is that it will fix the sdcard mounting issue. Once you flash the stock recovery you don't need to open it, you pick the option "clear storage" from bootloader.

Then you should be able to flash CWM or TWRP recovery and mount usb storage. Then move a rom to your phone from your computer. Fastboot flash a boot.img and install ROM.
[HTC One S] Muzzy011:
I have exactly the same problem on sprint note2. I didn't managed to get back SD card, but at least I can give you solution for putting ROM back if you have working cwm.

This is what I posted at android noon questions, message #4014, hope it might help you:

Found solution - not sure about all steps, are they required, but for me, was like that:

Sprint Note 2 stuck on CWM with wiped all data on internal SD card and not recognized external SD card.

1. Removed all Samsung USB drivers and KIAS

2. Installed new KIAS with unified Samsung drivers

3. Installed kingo root - he found drivers that system didn't (SPH-L900) and helped in a way that through that app I saw that PC got connected with Note2 in CWM recovery mode

4. Installed Android SDK for Windows, 64bit version (doesn't matter is it 32bit or 64bit)

5. Went to sdk\platform-tools\, copied ROM and GAPPS to that dir, went to ADB sideload mode on CWM, started "ADB sideload FILENAME.ZIP", and that is it.

This is the way to install any file on android phone without having any access available except USB port.[/QUOTE]

[HTC One S] mbourd25:
Hi gang, I have a Telus HTC One S which is stuck on the FastBoot menu for a while and I've tried to flash it back to stock HTC android version to no success. I can't see the SDcard anymore and every time I boot it up, it goes to the fastboot menu. Also now, the problem is every time I run a command to push files to the phone, I get device not found, but i've installed the HTC drivers, not the HTC sync software. The Fastboot menu changes when I plug in the USB to Fastboot USB. So I know that the connection works.

Every time that I ran a RUU, I either get error 155, but when I finally found a zip version of the Telus OTA RUU for the HTC One S, I used All-in-One toolkit to install the OTA RUU zip file to no success., I always get error 133.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If more information is required, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One S] mbourd25:

i tried unlocking my phone with the htc/dev but it say failed (partition does not exist), i closed the command prompt and i say a notification say unlock done, so i went ahead to flash a rom without doing a nandroid backup now i am stock in the recovery mode please help me
[HTC One S] Adel_Linux:
If you are on stock recovery

1 - go to recovery mode (power + volume down)

2 - clear storage

3 - reset factory

4 - You need to flash a custom recovery. I personally recommend Clockworkmod recovery, just look it up on google and download the latest version, once you do that. It should let you mount the SD card then you can push your rom to in and install

gd luck

Where's the "clear storage" option?

Hey all, I seem to be up a creek here. I've combed this thread, which is directly related to my problem, but haven't seen someone with my particular set of issues... My HTC One (Sprint) is soft-bricked like others here, holding up on the HTC logo screen. I can fastboot new recoveries without any problem, but like others here the sdcard isn't mounting for me in order to move over a new ROM. I flashed the stock recovery, but am not seeing a "clear storage" option anywhere. I've done factory resets and cleared the caches, but it's still not mounting the phone's memory. Additionally, adb pushing and sideloading aren't working — I'm receiving messages that the device is not connected (even though fastboot works fine, adb isn't). Very much in need of some tips, and thanks!!

[HELP] can't mount sdcard no OS

hi I have a big problem. Yesterday I try to put on my htc one s cyanogen mod 10.2.0. First of all i unlock the bootloader and flash via fastboot twrp recovery and everything it's ok. I put my rom into sd card partition with adb and i try to install it in recovery mode. The installation doesn't work so i try to restore my phone with the backup that i have previously done with twrp. I don't understand how, but the backup doesn't worked and now i have my phone without an OS. When i try to install a rom i can't because twrp tell me the error can't mount sd card. PLEASE HELP ME! how can i restore my phone? There is a way??
[HTC One S] mannte:
1. You need to install the stock recovery: https://www.copy.com/s/umDeRk7nfBq9hU8S/recovery.img

2. Then in the bootloader select factory reset

3. flash a custom recovery and rom.

You can use one of the toolkits like the windroid toolkit or the toolkit from squabbi to flash a recovery.

Hello,

I have rooted my one s successfully Ive flashed recovery etc.

but i have installed the magio ROM which i did not like because of the app drawer icon so i changed it (the ROM) to MaximusHD and here the errors start. in the first few days it was OK but i started to notice that the phone kept loosing signal and i had to reboot the device to have signal again.

Now i wanted to install my favorite game "real racing 3" and when it cane to downloading the game said that there is no space on phone.

so i checked it in settings and the phone said that there is 16GB free!?!?!?

well i did know that is not true so i double checked with X-plore and the program said i HAVE ONLY 2.2GB FREE!?!?!

and when i wanted to copy a different ROM to my htc it would not let me i would take ages to be finished and the progress bar does not move

so i decided to download the rom via mobile and it worked and than i booted into TWRP and factory reseted the phone and tryed to install the rom but each time i tryed to do that i "FAILED" and when i wanted to reboot my device it said "NO SYSTEM INSTALLED DO YOU WANT TO CONTINUE?"

So im begging for help And i really badly need my phone

Wow men.you must have s off to flash maximus.

What the f did you do??!?!!

Best way to solve this problem is to imstall an ruu that match with your build number.

For install the ruu you must flash stock recovery and relock bootloader.then start install the ruu with camputer.it is like to install an app on pc .so dont worry . you can solve it

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

Another thing that you can do is that to use" usb storage "to install the rom.just mount it in recovery.then you can access the usb storage and flash the rom

[HTC One S] bkholy:
Hello everybody.

I am here for a slimmer of hope. Yesterday I installed Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my HTC one S through CWM. After getting the loop problem and losing access to my internal SD card, because it would not mount, I finally solved the problem by pushing boot.img to the phone. That worked great, except that SD could not still mount. Being a dummy that I am, I decided to reinitialize the SD card. Well... of course that worked and my internal SD card mounted. Except that all of my pictures and videos were formatted! I am in distraught now, and don't know what to do it. I have tried several methods by copying the whole memory block into an image and running recovery software, but nothing. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Is it possible that all of my pictures and videos are now gone?

Please help!

Either S-On With Signal Issues or S-Off With Bootloop/Preparing Phone Storage

[SOLVED] Either S-On With Signal Issues or S-Off With Bootloop/Preparing Phone Storage Forever

Here is the situation I have seen others had with the same problem :

After going s-off and installing maximus-hd, I wanted to downgrade, and long story shorten, I came to a situation where I was s-off but could not install any other ROM because they either ends up in boot-loops or crash in the first screen showing "preparing phone storage".

So the only thing I could do to solve it was going s-on, original CID and RUU. but after that the signal and antenna have random situation and there were no 3g also.

Here is what I did based on this post : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46308487&postcount=106

and it worked. :good:

0) I started when is was S-off (moonshine), SuperCID, hboot 2.15

1) Flash a RUU. (I used RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L_release_279577_signed)

2) Flash latest TWRP (I flashed 2.6.1.3 via WinDroid HTC One S Toolkit 2)

3) Boot (it will crash and freeze on Preparing Storage)

4) Boot into Recovery

5) Fix the rcdata, (mmcblk0p20 from here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46045168&postcount=1194)

-a) "adb push mmcblk0p20 /sdcard/mmcblk0p20"

-b) "adb shell"

-c) "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p20 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p20"

6) Flash a RUU

7) Install any Rom

2 when i "clear storage" phone is reset in TWRP 2.6.3.0 don't know why...(after that step if i go in bootloader and try go enter again in recovery i get red triangle)

3 i go factory reset and reflash new recovery and can't mount SD-Ext

i go in CWM go wipe dalvic cache and i take again E:unknown volume for path [ext-sd]...

even his cwm recovery was corrupt or gone.

i installed the cwm recovery .

but then there was a problem cwm has problem with mounting the internal sdcard.htc hasn't a external sdcard port.

even clean cache, etc was nothing, always errors.

i could copy a custom rom with adb to the sdcard.

but cwm and even twrp couldn't install it , again error mounting sdcard.

after reading and reading and trying and trying .

i read that the htc one has otg usb support.

i had the change that i have such cable.

i copied a custom rom to a usb stick.

plugged it in the otg usb and restarted cwm recovery.

in cwm recovery i mounted the external usb stick.

and taked install zip (custom rom)

AND BAMMMM THE PHONE WAS BACK ALIVE.

so i share this guys with you because maybe you can use it in the future if your device has otg usb support.
