I know, dude. I suppose I just lucked out there! Hmmm. Still at the CM10 boot screen. Any idea how long should it take to boot up first time?

EDIT - Never mind. I was stuck in a bootloop due to having the wrong HBOOT, I think. Sorted it and now have a working phone again! Thanks for your help, kylepont.

AW: [HOW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard

lol. Nice story. Two pages because of dangerously half-informed flashing guesses and a wrong recovery.

:D May I recommend that people please learn basic stuff about their device and the required procedures before attempting to mess around? That adventure could have easily ended in a brick... :D

I find it interesting that because of insufficient reading and learning from one person other people where made reading and understanding something that was not their stuff in order to help fix avoidable mistakes.

I believe this is part of our human nature and the reason why manufacturers are tempted to lock their products away from nosy dangerously half-informed people - they don't want to put up with all these stories...

I could only give him that help because I was in a similar situation two weeks ago, I had no OS installed and the SD card wouldn't mount. I had to fix all of that on Mother's Day, depending on help from random people on here. Boy, was that eventful... So yeah, I just spend my time helping people and I try to reply as quickly as I can to save them waiting hours for help, although I don't know an awful lot.

And whatever help you can give is appreciated more than people making unhelpful, smartarsed comments about other folks' travails.

Bravo. I'm not new to rooting, as it happens, I just happened to balls this one up, and with other folks' help managed to sort it out.

Luckily not everyone is an elitist, otherwise no-one would help anyone. They'd just mock people for not knowing as much about something as they do, because, you know, that's what teh cool kids do.
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
Just note this Red Dread, unless you manage to S-Off, which won't happen for a long time if you did the Jelly Bean OTA (like another clot in this conversation did), then remember to flash the boot.img that came with the ROM (if you double click on the .zip file then it is usually visible immediately) in fastboot BEFORE flashing the ROM in recovery. This is why 99% of bootloops happen.
[HTC One S] Red Dread:
Oh yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way already! I'll be sure to do that in future should I want to flash again.
[HTC One S] philipjacobs:
Right, so this is my dilema. I cannot get the fastboot to flash the original recovery. If I am doing it correctly, nothing happens. It never goes to recovery and continues to loop. If you wouldn't mind walking me through this, that would be great. I've tried everything from all sorts of threads.

It's a lot of information for sure, but getting back to to basic phone is far more challenging.

I actully have CM 10.1-20130312-Nightly-ville installed. But no sd card. So, yes I would LOVE to get this thing back to the beggining and start fresh. Just can't seem to do this. Also, do you know where I can find the original RUU?

Thanks!
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
Maybe you don't have a good copy of it. I have the stock one for the S4 version on my dropbox, I'll edit in a link for that later. Try putting it in the all-in-one kit folder and flash it through there to eliminate human error. Then boot into bootloader and click recovery. If that doesn't work, then back onto bootloader and click clear storage. The SD card will be fixed.

Also, to find an RUU for you we need to know your CID. Unless you have SuperCID, any random RUU won't work.
[HTC One S] philipjacobs:
Ok, I was up late last night fixing this thing. I finally found the correct RUU and have gotten everything back to stock. Turns out it was this version that worked RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7.

So how do i correctly get the CM nightly mod to work? Start from scratch with this article http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_ville?

This is what I originally started with but then I lost the storage properties. Any suggestions or something I'm forgetting?

[EDIT] Still cannot get this to work. Tried two different sources. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583427) I've never had this much problem installing a ROM for a phone!! It's just stuck in the CyanogenMod logo. And I reboot and it loops. So frustrating considering I had it installed but it didn't recognize the sdcard.

Any ideas??

[EDIT] Finally got it working. Unfortunately, I didn't do anything different. I kept flashing the boot.img file from the rom, then installed the rom. After it finally booted up, I installed the gapps.
[HTC One S] BilboSwaggins:
Make sure you flash the boot.img before you install ROMs. That's why most people are stuck on bootanimations for five minutes plus.

T-Mobile One S. Unbranding and Installing WWE RUU .

Hey guys needed a bit help.

I have my T-Mobile One S on Stock ROM.

That is ICS 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1.

The exact RUU I have is- RUU_Ville_U_ICS_40_S_TMOUS_2.35.531.7_Radio_1.08ts.50.02.16_10.08e.50.04L_release_279577_signed.exe

Now coming to the point, I have debranded my device

Changed the CID to HTC__001

Have TWRP Recovery

I want to flash with the RUU- OTA_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.8_1.11.50.05.28_10.27.50.08L_release_301852xf01hejl416oev96.zip

Will this work for my device ? Is there any chance of radio related issues ?

My main concern is I have Radio - 1.08ts

but this RUU has no radi mentioned in it.
[HTC One S] Sneakyghost:
AW: [HOW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard

That RUU has 1.11.50 radio in its name :D

For debrand you might need to change to super CID though. Try with that WWE CID and if it works all is good, if not try scid.

But why do you post this in the SD Brick thread? It's not related, is it?

Sent from Viper 2.2
[HTC One S] Jnanadarshan:
Because I knew I'll get the answer for sure.

And one more thing I have now Radio 1.13.50.xx...

AW: [HOW-TO] Fix soft brick & error mounting sdcard

You know what I don't like your answer. Don't mess with supportive people. Go to Q&A and ask there please.

But I won't be there to help you out. How someone else will. Good luck.

[EDIT]

I just realised you were asking similar stuff over at viper thread.

You must either be seriously confused or intentionally abusing the development forum for your personal support questions. I'll assume you're just confused. So: there's a Q&A Forum dedicated to these kinda questions. Also, in general forums you will find much valuable information on the basics.

This forum here is more for discussing specific new things and for keeping this as organized as possible, users are generally requested to stay on topic. So you have to go somewhere else to inform yourself.

i wont blame you

This thread is getting real long so its hard for people to sift through to the good working stuff.

The post you read (8) does work but is better explained on page 25

If you take all in one and push using 'your own custom recovery' the recovery.img from the ruu zip ( if you have the exe just change the extent ion from exe to zip)

This will get back to square one

Now factory reset at boot loader then push twrp or whatever you like

Sdcard is back now then you can at fastboot at bootloader

adb push customromname.zip /sdcard

Now in recovery you select your zip and then install

As said page 25 is best, this is just an overview

Good luck :)
[HTC One S] crakarjax:
Has it been confirmed that sdcard is lost when boot.IMG is not explicitly flashed?
[HTC One S] stevieag:
I have looked everywhere and no one seems to get back the sdcard

as can be seen from my posts, when i get into the recovery and try to mount usb i get lun file missing (whatever that is)

i have no idea how to put it back, but getting access has been easy for me (until now) by following the instructions given me on here.

At the moment alls good apart from i cant get adb to see my device to push to it

if you can install the recovery

boot into bootloader (power + vol-) then fastboot

push your zip via a command terminal (start menu - run -cmd) command - 'adb push romname.zip /sdcard'

boot into recovery (power + Vol+) or select recovery in bootloader

select install from zip

install then

push boot.img

i hope that helps BUT i really need help with my prob

has anybody got any idea how i can get adb to see my device

hey guys

i sort of have the same problem, i was a total idiot and tried to flash the viper3 rom but didnt back up my stock.

long story short i erased the whole phone.

i can get in to cwm and also tried tmpw but cant get the sd to mount.

But the real problem im having using the all in one program or anything to recover it is the adb command prompts.

im just at a complete loss as to what to do, i managed to put in the cwm using adb but i cant figure out how to push the viper3 rom.

I was putting down adb push ViperOneS.zip/sdcard, and the cmd prompt just says cant recognize adb.

Im just completely lost with the proper way with adb commands

also with a lot of tuts on the all in one it says just click and recovery will install when i click on revover twrp (s3) the cmd window pops up i shut that down and the second window pops up yet nothing happens. i know i managed to flash it before but it now appears it was sheer luck on my part.

Update

I finally figured it out.

I was having the main files in seperate folders, once i figured out i had the roms and recovery files in the wrong place it was sorted in a short time.

First you must relock the phone

Get into Fastboot. For me, I have to turn off phone, then then with the volume down button held, press the power button.

Connect the phone to your computer and issue the following command

fastboot oem lock

The KEY if you have T-Mobile HTC One S is you must find this RUU

I believe I got mine from a link here. Try this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2200930

Turn your phone off or put it in fastboot and run the RUU. The RUU only works on Windows 7. I couldn't get my XP machine to work at all

Relocking phone before flashing recovery back to stock

Thanks for the info as I am having this issue now. However, to flash my recovery back to stock using the All-in-One-Kit, I need to relock my bootloader and I have not been do it from the command prompt. How were you able to flash the recovery?

I am using HTC One S the has CM10.0 and using CWM 6.0.2.1 (I was trying to install 10.1 but apparently 10.1 requires a different kernel and I soft bricked phone in the process. I can get to the HTC menu showing unlocked etc but CWM cannot mount sd card.)
[HTC One S] amac7079:
Relocking bootloader and using right RUU

I have sorted my questions and since it was a challenge to find that first step that needs to be done to relock the bootloader, I am leaving this follow up that may help some other noobs if they find similar issues. As a noob, the only thing that I was certain was that my soft brick could be recovered, I just wasn't sure that I could.

a) it helped me when I matched the RUU file to carrier, country and RADIO and there a couple of good links to mirrors in the threads. The RADIO version will be on your fastboot screen at the top which simplifies which RUU you need to restore your phone after you relock the phone.

a note) also other noobs may not know but your phone still charges so make sure that you take time to keep it charged. if the power goes during a restore operation, a soft brick can become permanent.

b) Relocking was a challenge when I was having a hard time keeping it on the fastboot screen as phone kept going to CWM which was useless since SIM was unmounted which is why I was relocking to run oem to remount SIM. HTC Sync was not useful either. Downloaded HTC Driver exe file and then shift right clicked to on folder with fastboot file to run the relock command.

c) Once phone relocked, ran RUU in my case with RADIO1-08ts.50.02.16 for TMOUS. I tried this a few times but in the sequence it was only done once after I did step b) and it worked perfectly. After phone booted back into stock ROM my phone service was not working but that is a carrier issue. Seeing and having to work with the stock ROM reminded me how lucky I have been to have been running custom ROM's and recovery for the past year.

d) Since I probably deleted my original unlock token, went to HTCDEV and quickly got new token and unlocked with no problems.

Now I am flashing new recovery and am on my way back from a trying soft brick experience.

SD card not mountable

Hello guys,

I'm pretty new to the scene and my device is currently stuck between ROMS.

I had cm-10.0.0-ville installed and running smoothly when I decided to use the build-in updater.. this is where things went wrong.

Upon the reboot he failed on the MD5 check. To make things worse: no nandroid.

When I wanted to re-flash my original .zip (pushed it through adb), I received the SD unmountable error.

So now I wanna try and fix it with the all in one tool. But I'm not quite sure which RUU to take.

nOOb alert

Hi everyone,

So I have an HTC One S with Virgin Mobile here in Canada. Since I have successfully hacked both PSP's and iPod's I thought it would be fun to try and hack my phone...not so much...Using Hansoon's All-In-One tool I successfully unlocked and rooted the phone, however, when I flashed to cyanogenmod 10.0 and restarted the phone just stayed on the cyanogenmod loading screen and didn't do anything. After reading a few posts in these forums I followed some directions to try and recover. To my surprise my sdcard was completely wiped out, the directory doesn't even exsist anymore. So something I did during this process erased everything on my phone including my backup and recovery files.

So following the steps listed in this thread I was able to find a RUU zip for my phone and I've attempted to restore the original image but with no luck. I am unable to mount the sdcard in order to push a file. I was able to use the RUU file and Hansoon's tool to attempt a flash but the process fails the signature check and will not continue.

I'm desperate at this point and before I take it to the local cell phone recovery place and spend a bunch of money i don't have I'd rather find a fix I can do myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated I can provide any further information if need be.

RUU exe to go back to stock - the only option

Actually, the all in one tool didnt help me at all. I had a soft brick after successfully unlocking the phone using HTC dev and flashing Clockwork/TWRP recovery. Couldnt get past that stage because of the "failed to mount /sdcard" errors. I spent the last 20 hours trying every combination of options to get the phone to live again, to no avail. Finally, the only thing that did work was this:

1. relock the phone

2. flash stock recovery

3. download and run appriate RUU executable (not zip).

In the process of running the RUU everything got fixed and I am back to a clean "factory reset" state of phone.

Incidentally, trying to run RUU.zip from the All In One Tool didnt work either... I've read some success stories on this forum, but for me the tool turned out to be a flop.

Hope this helps someone!
