The red exclamation point is the stock recovery. Once you install a custom recovery using the fastboot commands you will be able to boot into the recovery partition.

I'm trying to install custom ROM on Incredible s following the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337105
I can't boot past the htc screen. only after getting to this stage did I come across the whole S-ON/S-OFF thing. unfortunately I am stuck with S-ON and no ROM to boot into. from everything I've looked up you can only achieve S-OFF through adb mode and considering I have no android to load I can't exactly do that.
I have Clockwork Recovery v5.0.2.0.
...and no I don't have a nandroid backup. I'm doing this on my brother's phone coming from my GNex where we don't have these problems.
also I've tried running RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_Optus_AU_2.12.980.2_R_Radio_20.2803.30.085AU_3805.04.03.12_M_release_185028_signed.exe but that just fails.
another question would be given the current situation would a nandroid backup solve my problems and if so is there anywhere I could get one as I can't find one online atm.
perhaps would there be a way to force the phone into adb mode?
any help will be greatly appreciated.

With S-OFF, you can place the rom on your SD card and flash it, no need to extract or run adb. You can flash the whole rom without touching your computer. It is just easier in my opinion.
Hello, i got my One yesterday and promptly rooted it via the HTCDev site. i have gotten supersu installed and cwm installed. however, when i try to install a rom, everything says it works but when i reboot it stays at the HTC screen. the only one ive gotten to do anything is viper rom and it comes up with no signal and no apps installed and then reboots about 2 minutes later. any suggestions? any info i need to give?

pull it from the rom zip(boot)and put it in your fastboot directory.
i have not had to install a rom since i got my htc evo 4g lte last year. this is a new step to me. im assuming this is done before installing the rom?

boy, i don't know at this point, you may have borked the radio, i would try to ruu, get back to stock and start all over.keep in mind if you run an RUU you have to relock the bootloader to do so. then you can unlock again and go from there.install recovery etc/

Also, I suggest using the revone s-off method from the revolutionary team. It allows you to flash ROMs more easily without flashing the boot.img separately. The link to the thread on how is in my web signature.

i have tried all of this with both recoveries. I just tried cleanrom and it boots into safemode only with no signal. this is so frustrating...
What rom are you trying to install? The losing signal after reboot I've experienced but that's from trying to install intl

Device: HTC One (Sprint)
Hello All, Following the steps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618 I managed to..
Successfully unlock the bootloader.
Successfully install Clockwork recovery mod using the 6.0.3.2 Sprint version.
Installed Android HD 12 from clockwork recovery. Install goes off without a hitch. Phone reboots into bootloader over and over again. I can't get out of it if I try to hit POWER DOWN or REBOOT it keeps going back to bootloader. It also will not let me enter Recovery anymore it just goes back to the bootloader screen. I tried fastboot erase cache, which did not do anything.
Please help!?
Fastboot flash a different recovery and then in recovery you can adb push a ROM file to your SD card.

I flashed TWRP and tried installing Android HD again but same thing. Im going to try a different mod perhaps that is the problem?
Maybe try reading the thread. ARHD 12 is not compatible with the sprint One. And don't post in the development section unless you're developing something
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4
Sprint doesn't have the ability to flash any 4.2.2 ROMs so you need something that's either built from source like cm or aokp or need to find a 4.1.2 ROM.

Hi.
After unlocking my HTC, installing recovery and a custom ROM (ARHD 13.3) I have a problem with flashing kernels through recovery. Every time when it starts, phone reboots into system, just after the flashing starts, withough flashing the kernel. Any ideas?
Anyone? :-\ tried reflashing Rom with full wipe, tried other roms, changed the recovery...always the same.

Sounds strange! What kernel are you trying to flash? Did you also make sure your download's MD5 is correct; could be a bad download.
Yes, md5 sum is correct. I'm trying to flash anything strange is that after full wipe and reflashing Rom I can flash anything before first boot. After first boot can't flash zip files, like Rom cleaner or kernel. Phone always reboots just after flashing starts.
Once I've found that someone had such problem and formating something through adb helped...but can't find this info again
I tried flashing almost every kernel available.

I think Rom Cleaner should be flashed before first boot anyway, but not the kernel. Are you clearing cache and dalvik before trying to flash?
Yes. I even clean cache through sdk :-\ yep, the Rom cleaner should be flashed before first boot, but anyway it shouldn't reboot even later as I think.

Weird
Just for the sake of trying, a couple of ideas:
1- wipe the cache from recovery (not fastboot) and also wipe dalvik, then immediately flash kernel
2- perhaps there's a permission issue with the zip(s) / folder(s)
EDIT: perhaps you need to update recovery?
I reflashed recovery, tried CWM, TWRP...same on both think about going back to stock with RUU, then trying everything again from the start:-\
First advance...tried.
Second...U mean fixing permissions? Don't know if it's related to that problem, but of course will try.

Though I don't think custom recovery would have issues with permissions (since it's su privilege), it could be the folder where your zip files are doesnt have rw permission, and the recovery attempts to access the folder, is unable to, and therefore just reboots.
Try putting the zip file in a different directory (or maybe even the root folder) and try again.
In root folder? Don't understand where exactly...tried to place it on different locations in storage.

Latest TWRP. I found that I can't even change the permissions to any file on sd card. But I have root access:-\ also tried fixing permissions.

Obvious question, but the kernel is for your version of Android isn't it? You're not flashing a 4.3 kernel on to 4.2.2?
of course not I'm on android 4.2.2 and flashing the 4.2.2 kernel version
---------------------------
as for now everything's ok. Frankly speaking I didn't do anything new. reflashed recovery for the third time i believe, did the full wipe also few times, flashed arhd, rom cleaner and the kernel one by one and it works...for now
---------------------------
and no..it's still the same. After first boot, I rebooted into recevery, tried to flash different zip and what....and reboot just after flashing:/ it makes me sick...:/
Thanks to one and all. I was facing the same issue of being unable to install the Bulletproof kernel on my HTC One having ViperOne 4.2.0 custom rom and TWRP 2.6.3.3 recovery.
I followed the advice here and wiped 'Dalvik cache' and 'cache' and (without rebooting) directly dirty flashed the Bulletproof kernel which did the trick.
Hope this helps someone else too.
Got the same problem. Tried with TWRP 2.6.6.3, 2.6.6.4 & actual CWM with failed tries to flash kernel,bootscreens,themes & the 360 camera fix.
Also tried to flash these recovery via fastboot and at least the m7&m7ul versions.
It happens suddenly
Btw: i'm on an tampered,unlocked hboot 1.54
Any help or ideas are much appreciated
