[HTC One S] :
Since HTC provides you with the means to unlock bootloader thru their website, not sure just being unlocked would prohibit return--not sure. But, I never say no to anything until I try--

I believe some have done this though

You're commands are correct to fastboot into recovery, I forgot the .img at end--sorry--
[HTC One S] luccos:
Thank you for your interest, the thing that annoys me is: not being able to understand why, even if I format the SD card in windows "Disk Drives", when I go to "charge only", I find the entire contents of SD, as if I had never formatted. I want to ask one thing but the HTC one S. how much memory is available for the system? my marks 2.21 Gb total, its correct?
[HTC One S] :
I used sdformatter, but as mentioned, it didn't seem to work as well as it did on my N1. Which I formatted quite often.

Under Quick System Info App I show

2.34gb Internal Storage total

1.60gb System Storage total
[HTC One S] :
Two things:

1. This should be in Q&A

2. What about trying "fastboot erase recovery" then re-fastboot recovery

I would also erase cache

Not sure again if that command will work with no s-off. Haven't tried it on this phone--
[HTC One S] frdd:
Did you try what Jobo wrote a few posts up about what to do when recovery just appears very briefly? Also you can relock bootloader with 'fastboot oem relock' if you need to
[HTC One S] luccos:
Clear the cache was a task that I have done dozens of times, the ONE S restarts all the time, and as often returns to the same previous state.

If you read the post 21, you'll see what I return to the command: "Fastboot oem lock", making it impossible to close the bootloader and then reflash the RUU.

And 'as if the memory system to be read-only and can not be overwritten, or there is an error in the recovery position and lock it instead of charging what they had previously, in fact every time you restart charging me an e-mail to GMAIL (this happens even without WIFI and DATA) 2 weeks ago, as if it had arrived a few minutes.

Unfortunately I think this problem there is no solution (at least until now), I just hope not to have to use it as a paperweight.:(
[HTC One S] luccos:
I agree it is a problem more Q&A, even though I've already opened a post and have a few to answer.

For the 2nd issue, I tried and I think I do not have permission, or did it but nothing has changed, I do not remember.

I think the solution is to find a way to reflash rom through fastboot.
[HTC One S] :
Right, I just thought a Mod would have moved it to Q&A. More coverage there for help. As I don't always look at General much any more myself.

Did you try to erase recovery and reflash

Not sure if we can install a rom thru fastboot with s-on. Someone awhile back mentioned that. I did it on occasion with my N1

Commands would be something like--??

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash data data.img

you may still want to try to erase recovery and flash before those lines. but, i don't think they will work and don't know consequences

again, if you have any means of backing up anything at this point--do it--including sdcard

have you tried the other suggestions
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
Pretty good chance it will work. We have write access to the system partition (mmcblk0p33) in recovery and even while fully booted, so probably also in fastboot. But even if not, we could dd it in recovery.
[HTC One S] luccos:
I can not understand, you're a step ahead of me, I do not know what the partition-mmcblk0p33-But then again I can not access the recovery, I can go into fastboot, I can go to SAFE MODE, but not in recovery, because I can see only for 1 second icon orange with black hat of the cwm.

However, if you tell me how to go check "mmcblk0p33" or rewrite I can try.

P:S Do you know if you can use to "ONE S", the RIFF BOX, because I have one available
[HTC One S] :
I think he was saying since we can access the system partition which is named (mmcblk0p33) you may be able to fastboot the rom. I think you said when at that screen you did try to press either vol+ or vol- to access stock recovery. If, that is the screen you are seeing.

I forget what stock screen looks like as I rooted day 1.

Without being able to get to recovery, I still think you are sunk--sorry--:(
[HTC One S] luccos:
Tomorrow I'll try to put make a video recording and then put it on youtube during the reboot into recovery to try to make you understand better what is happening. OK?
[HTC One S] :
@MODS

Ok, will ask if MODS can move this to Q&A for more views--
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Yes, you can use RIFF box, and you'll get S-OFF in the process.

Sent from my locked, tampered ville
[HTC One S] luccos:
Uoooh! ..........Give me more news please! I just have a link where you can learn, thanks.

I tried to find something on the net, but my search was useless, I could not find anything about "one's" and "RIFF BOX"
[HTC One S] luccos:
I tried all day, but it seems that the "RIFF BOX" as yet does not support HTC ONE S (version V). then return all to the use of Fastboot.

I could try to bring in ONE S support but I'm sure with the bootloader unlocked I would validate the fault. And then it bothers me to have to leave all my data on the SD, with mail, account number, personal pictures (nothing hard, just family), would not be fair. I have to at least find a way to delete everything.

P.S.

OK - Ok, will ask if MODS can move this to Q&A for more views--
[HTC One S] rixrasta:
I now tried to do a factory reset, but even that flashes me the horrible recovery error :(:(:( So basically I cannot do anything connected to bootloader, fastboot or flashing with my phone.... every time pops up that nasty recovery error :( and its all because I flashed that One X recovery.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
It isn't an error. It is normal, it is just telling you that HTC takes no responsibility when you unlock your bootloader. Everyone has this.
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
If you see your recovery for a split second, I had that same issue once, and the thing that fixed it for me was to erase cache from fastboot.

fastboot erase cache

Right. I haven't tried it, but I think we can flash a system.img from fastboot on an unlocked device.

fastboot flash system system.img

If not, we can dd it from recovery.

dd if=system.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p33

-JB
[HTC One S] rixrasta:
Thank god, so you can tell me how to get in the recovery, past that note? none of the button combinations work when that picture comes up...

I have flashed my recovery with cwm recovery img files. I cant even do a factory reset, it brings up that message.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Jobo below my post had some instructions. You could try that.
[HTC One S] luccos:
I tried,fastboot erase cache, but nothing has changed, I can now try to force the filter system.img, but where can I find it? between the recovery file is not there, I found a file system.img inside rom.zip but is 1.073.737.728 bytes, too big is not it ? Where can I download system.img stock?.

I tried Droid EXplorer and I noticed three file as corrupt, you think there is a connection with the claimed defect?
[HTC One S] :
what button combos did you try

hard boot is hold down pwr and vol- at same time. after screen goes black wait 2 seconds and release pwr while still holding vol-. may take 10-20 seconds or so

also, if these guys can't access recovery will flashing system image thru fastboot or dd work? just asking--

other problem is we have two OPs in same thread, i have to look back thru thread for each history of what has been suggested and tried/not tried

anyway, intriguing problem to solve--if possible

---------- Post added at 10:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

have you guys tried to fastbboot the boot image from the rom you are using

like fastboot recovery.img, erase cache, then fastboot the boot.img,
[HTC One S] luccos:
In fact, I am an intruder in this thread, but since the two defects are similar and generated probably by the same error in the flash of a Recoveri for ONE X, I allowed myself to fit in, I had opened in Q & A my thread, but they had little interest and few answers.
[HTC One S] :
No problem being here, we just got to be careful on replies, since solutions may take two paths. It is a tough problem, at least so far. So, you may not get many replies. But, it takes only one to solve issue--:)
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
That is the correct size for a system image. Yes, you can try and flash it in fastboot. Flash the boot image from the same rom.zip as well, and erase data partition.

BUT.. I would not just ignore the fact that you have no functional recovery. I dont have a recipe for that if erasing cache didnt work, unfortunately.

In your first post in this thread (post #19) you write:

..this indicates unmountable sdcard. You're actually working on your ramdisk. There is a sticky in the Q&A forum on fixing unmountable sdcard. It involves flashing stock recovery and clearing storage.

You should be able to boot into recovery and mount sdcard there before trying to flash any ROMs.

It seems more likely that this is an issue with droid explorer, not with the data filesystem itself.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
At this stage, I would possibly lock and run RUU, then use your unlock code to root again. This usually solves most problems.
[HTC One S] luccos:
As I said before you can not lock the bootloader, see post 21.

Without locking the bootloader and without flash the stock recovery, you can not start the RUU, error 155 or 170.
[HTC One S] SaHiLzZ:
Silly, but have you tried another OEM usb cable, a new computer, a new USB port.

I have had the 'too many links' error in fastboot because of cheap chinese cables.
[HTC One S] luccos:
...... yes, try it! 3 pc or even three different cables.
[HTC One S] luccos:
So in summary, the problem is that I can not in any way to reflash the stock recovery, the problem is due to not being able to write to the SD?, Or is it the other way, that I can not overwrite the recovery because maybe in the wrong reflash the recovery I moved to a memory location and hence the error?

The phone works fine as long as you do not use too much in the content of the SD.

But there is no trace on the phone (such as a log file) errors? because I saw that entering the phone with Droid Explorer, I can read files and also clean the Dalvik cache as well as some. apk file. But when I reboot meeting all there.

Through fastboot you can copy the recovery from the phone to the PC
[HTC One S] usaff22:
How about renaming Rom.zip in the RUU to PJ40IMG.zip? Then flashing through bootloader?

Sent from my locked, tampered ville
[HTC One S] luccos:
I tried to do it a few days ago, the problem is how to copy the PJ40IMG.zip file on the sd ? Do I have to load it from fastboot, otherwise if I copy the file first and then restart fastbboot, it disappears. I do not know if I have explained myself well, unfortunately my English is bad.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Have you extracted the rom.zip though?
[HTC One S] luccos:
Of course, the last statement the EU RUU 4.31, but I do not know if there is a way to copy it using fastroot (if they can) on the SD.

Today I also tried a system installation RUU through cancellation of two SU file on the system, but even that is not successful, because everything that needs a change before a restart, the restart is not successful because the change is gone.

Unfortunately, I have also seen these days that many of fastboot commands do not work on our phone, type the delete the recovery, boot and others.

However, do not despair, partly thanks to your advice.
[HTC One S] usaff22:
How about extracting the images and flashing those from the Rom.zip?

e.g

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash data data.img (not sure about this one)

[HTC One S] luccos:
fastboot flash system system.img = error *. too big img

PJ40IMG.zip adb push / sdcard / = OK, copied file on sd, but when I reboot to go into fastboot not find him on SD.

Then with droid explorer I got the two files boot.img and recovery.img and transferred them to the PC two files are of course most of their big file "stock", you think I could compare them with other files copied from a "ONE S" functioning and possibly overwrite in mine?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
So fastboot doesn't find it, or its not in the SD card at all?

When you reboot into bootloader, do you use the adb command or press volume down and power while the phone is off?

Sent from my locked, tampered ville
[HTC One S] luccos:
I'm sorry, maybe I explained evil, the file is copied to the SD with fastboot, after I restarted the phone to detect at fastboot PJ40 file, but the file was no longer present, as I have said many times, when I restart the phone, you will lose any changes you made previously, and new applications are installed or copied files are deleted. As if gate applications from the System or even if I format the card, or simply restart mount and dismount the SD and everything returns as before, then the uninstalled applications, reappear, and if I had formatted, reappears everything that was there before the SD. In practice, the phone always comes back with the program files, and settings of the day on which it started the fault (about 3 weeks ago). I hope I explained, thank you for your patience.

In Bootloader I can not use adb commands but only those for fastboot, adb commands I can use them when the phone is up and running (but not in bootloader)
[HTC One S] usaff22:
What I mean is, when your phone is searching for PJ40IMG, it it in fastboot or HBOOT?

Sent from my locked, tampered ville
[HTC One S] luccos:
....no it does not find the file is found in hboot nor in fastboot, because when I copy the file to do so the phone is on in normal mode, with ADB. Then I have to restart ........
[HTC One S] luccos:
The exact same my problem, on a galaxy S.

I tried it with "fastboot flash" files of this rom, system.ext4.win, recovery.emmc.win, boot.emmc.win, all regularly copied, result:

nothing has changed all the old files are in place, so in the end I realized that basically resets after every reboot, the rom already exists.

I also recalled that after the update 4.31 I had some problems with SU, it is possible that this has created some problems on the partition table?

No one has an idea?
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Have you tried remount rw?

If this doesn't work, I honestly have no idea, this is beyond me. It seems like your internal storage has been corrupted or has bad sectors/blocks and I have no idea how to fdisk on android. It might be adb shell, and then su, then fdisk mmcblk0p (partition no.)

You could possibly try your luck with the store you bought it from. Have you tried wiping the SD card in Settings (if you can get into the ROM)

damn, I really wanted to review his battery saving tips tips as i am already down to 84% after 2 and a half hours of the lightest use possible

EDIT: never mind, another classic case of a developer comparing apples to oranges. I am not going to name names but if I was to run those settings on the ICS rom I was running, I would get well over 24 hours of battery life. What is the point of having the convenience of Google wallet, if you have to fumble around in the menu turning on and off the NFC every time you use it. What is the point of having a Samsung based JB rom if you are going to turn off almost all of the Samsung baked in goodies (animations, S beam, ect). Might as well run CM 10, have NFC turned on and still have respectable battery life.

Don't get me wrong, he has done great work on this port but its like saying my 800HP small block chevy will get you great gas mileage.....if you bolt on a 2 barrel carb, limit the throttle travel, and under drive the blower.

Maybe drew did this in purpose and that is why he half assed (excuse my French) this release and made us wait for so long for it? Maybe he was tired of making roms for us but didn't feel like telling everyone so he intentionally sabotaged himself. If anyone else noticed during the flash it states that the build was made on 9/20; why would he make us wait 11 days for a completed build? Just throwing this it there, no hate please..

Came looking to check on how people are doing with this ROM. For one, the time it picked up was wrong but that corrected itself by morning. Also signal is weaksauce for me. Drove by a cell tower and got 3 bars and switched to 3G in some spots. Usually it's 4G all the way with full bars. Also the rotation is messed up that seems to be across all ROMs from latest leak. Though some already have fixes - hopefully we'll get one soon? Lastly battery seems much better, but I did have to pull out the battery from a crash earlier. Other than that it's pretty smooth! Some slight stutter in the app drawer but that's about it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ghstudent:
There is no need to pull battery, if you hold the power button for around 5-10 seconds it acts as a breaker switch for your phone, doing the same as pulling the battery without the extra work.
