[Q] S-Off Incredible S Stuck in the white screen with htc logo

Hi there,
I hope somebody can help me with this.
I have a htc IS S-off, rooted and running with a custom ROM (the mike1986 ROM, which is incredible!!).
Yesterday, my kid took my phone and start "playing" with it and when I´ve realized it, it was to late... He had entered into the recovery (Clockworkmod v3.0.2.6) and deleted some important/ sensitive data (i guess).
The situation is that, now, the phone doesn´t start working. It just stucks in the white screen with the HTC logo.I´m able to enter into the Hboot and, which is more strange, into the Clockworkmod recovery but when I reboot the system it just doesn´t start.
I´ve tried to reflash that ROM and other ROMS, but the result is always the same (Which gives me to the conclusion, speaking from my absolutely ignorance, that it shoudn´t be a ROM problem...).
I´ve also tried to make a "Factory reset", but the result is the same.
Important: When I enter into the recovery, it appears different lines of tex2t informing that: "E: can´t mount cache/ recovery/ command, log & last log. I´ve also browsed in the "advance" options of the recovery, and the system appears always unmount, and it doesn´t allow me to mount it (I don´t know if this is important or not).
Does somebody have an idea about how to fix this problem?
I would really appreciate if somebody could help me with it.
Thank you in advance!

Go to the mounts and storage menu ... format everything except your sdcard and flash mike's rom again ... see if it pops out an error ... should be fixed now ... temme if the recovery says anything wierd ...

If things dont work out ... here is a last hope-
*take the rom.zip from a RUU
*rename it to PG32DIAG.zip
*mount your sdcard to your pc in CWM recovery from the mounts and storage menu
*paste the zip unto your sdcards root folder
*reboot into bootloader and it will ask you if you want to update ...this will revert to stock and you can start the whole rooting process etc again
Also if you are alpharevx soff ... you will need a goldcard ... but not if your are xtc soff

You cannot install CWM without S-OFF. What else have you done to get your phone in the state it is in.

I have a dincs in the same state. It's stuck in a boot loop and won't do anything. Spent 20 hours trying to fix it and still no luck
--------------------------
On a side note. If he can not do anything with his phone being s-on could he not just wait till later this month and s-off through HTC since that will be an available service very soon?

Ok what have you done to the phone to get it into this state? Have you gained S-Off? Are you trying to install ClockworkMod? More info please!

I believe I tried a custom Rom and did something wrong. Radio or something. No access to recovery and lost s off

Ok thanks. Since you have a Bell Mobile IncS, have you tried flashing the official BM GB RUU? That should at least get your phone going and usable.

Sorry for the late reply. I was away camping. Excellent. I will try it out and see what happens. I'll post results tonight

I actually ran the exe without extracting the Rom.zip and it worked perfectly.

[Q] Bricked phone?

Is my phone totally bricked now? I installed "battery icon mod", cost about 1USD, and now it just keeps on "reflashing" the text "quietlly brilliant", and making that typical sound... I have S-OFF and root on my phone.
My question is, can it be restored somehow? I've tried to run through bootloader and do a factory reset, but that didn't help at all.
Also, is there a way to put a new rom on sdcard and flash it from bootloader, if so, how? I'm a bit newbie, and could use a step for step guide.
If nothing workes, I'll toss it out the window and never ever again buy a new phone stuck with a monthly payment for the next 1½ - 2 years

have you install clockworkmod recovery?
If yes:
0. make sure you have >50% battery
1. download any custom rom
2. go to bootloader and choose recovery
3. install from zip and find the directory of your rom
4. let it flash

Since your phone is bootlooing ... enter the recovery and open the mounts and storage menu assuming you have clockwork mod or 4ext installed ... from here u can mount usb storage to your pc ... i think this is what you want ...
But if you have stock recovery and system ... just run an ruu ...

Hade to be "stuck" in the loop by "quietly brillian (sound)", in order to flash it with a stock rom. Nothing else managed to work, and even that was just a long shot. Now it works again.. *phu*

I did that, same issue though. It does say unlocked s of now.

Make sure it is indeed unlocked. If it were me, I'd try reflashing that phone to complete stock and start from the beginning. I carelessly flashed the wrong kernal the other day and my only way out was going back to the beginning and it still took me 2-3 hours to get it back to working.

Follow all those steps to the letter and in order. You're gonna be wiping your phone too, try to get any data off you need first.

I ran into the exact same problem tonight that the OP was having. I followed that advice and when i run the command "fastboot oem lock", it tells me "....INFODevice was already locked!"
I know for a fact this device is unlocked and as I'm looking at hboot right now, I'm S-Off too. Now I have done this a couple of times trying to fix the problem, but even when I reboot to prepare to install the stock RUU, I still get the same white HTC Boot screen that just keeps trying to load but doesn't do anything else. I need some real help here....or maybe I've completely bricked this thing!
Thanks

Can you get into hboot ?

It won't boot to recovery so I can re-flash my back up rom though. I've tried going into fastboot and locking then unlocking then locking bootloader again and trying to boot regular or into recovery. Nothing works.

I've had that same problem and after hours of searching for an answer I found it and its so easy...Go into fastboot and enter this command..."fastboot erase cache" and then you can get into recovery again

That may work. Or you can try to reflash custom recovery. It sounds like somewhere in jd's process he managed to get stock recovery reinstalled (red triangle with an exlamation point?). If so, you can just use the tool to flash recovery, or grab the recovery.img and fasboot flash it "fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img". Then you'll be able to get back to recovery and flash a backup, or a new ROM

If you flashed the jb_hboot.zip after s-off'ing it would say "JuopunutBear" up top and everything would be fine..

HTC One Stuck at HTC Logo (bricked?)

PROBLEM IS FIXED WITH THE HELP OF USER: daorderdillon
Hello guys, i'm searching for a solution to my problem (for several hours now) but i cant find anything useful. My chrome browser is full of tabs now
What the problem is, i had Android revolution rom installed on my HTC One. I wanted to try the Maximus rom so i downloaded it straight on my HTC. I rebooted into recovery and made a nandroid backup. Then booted into the Android revolution rom again. Looked at the nandroid backup if it was there. Then rebooted into recovery again, did a wipe and wiped cache partition. Then i flashed the Maximus rom and followed all the steps via Aroma. I went away and let the installer finish. When i got back i saw the CWM Screen but no sign that the installation finished. I clicked on reboot system anyways and thats when everything started going wrong. I'm stuck on the htc logo. I can go into bootloader, but when i click on recovery it restarts, shows the CWM logo very briefly and then powers down and starts getting stuck on the htc logo again.
I've searched on xda and google but found only tutorials about adb and stuff. But when i try it, it doesnt find the device. In the tut it asks to enable 'usb debugging', but i don't know if its enabled, cause i cant boot the rom.
Can anybody please help me?
PS. Fastboot works, but i cant find a command to boot into recovery.

Well i have never used adb before, so i wouldn't know for sure. When i check how to install drivers, they all say that usb debugging must be turned on. How can i check if its installed?

ive stumpled on upon a quite annoying problem..i have an HTC ONE X+ which i unlocked my bootloader on and everything went smooth until i wanted to start recovery via hboot.
it did not start and i tried several times and restarted etcetc, i then tried to flash in another recovery and then tried more and more but nothing..
then i cant remember now exaclty how i did it, but i have several RUU, kernel, recovery, boot and roms n such items downloaded
so i tried to feed in another flash or rom or whatever its called to get the recovery funtion to work (i am not very pro at this) and then when i wanted to start my phone normally it all of a sudden wont boot properly.
it freezes on the bootscreen.. i can turn off and go in to bootloader but i cant do ANYTHING from there, i cant do a factory reset (wich i also tried when the recovery did not want to work) i cant do **** there. tried to lock and unlock bootloader.. feels like im out of options..
the only thing i can do now is command the phone via cmd and the toolkit i use from here "Hasoon2000s htc one x AIO kit"
using this guide on this thread mostly..
ive tried so many things now, searched this and other forums since friday and i still can not get anywhere... starting to think this is what the definition of a bricked unit is??
if you need any more info please just ask.. i bought the phone a week ago so kinda sucks if it would be useless for me right away haha..
i would appreciate som help and tips... please
Sincerely Jeff

Need some help daorderdillon...I have an HTC One M8
I wanted to flash to the UNROOTED Google Play Edition...so I rooted, TWRP'ed and did the S-OFF
and then tried to flash the ROM while in RUU mode...it gave me back a "41 error"...
so I tried to change the ModelID in the android.txt file...flashed, and then my HTC One M8 kept going into the HTC logo screen with 4 triangle error screen
When I do fastboot oem reboot, it gets me back into the device - but any normal restart after, and I'm back in the HTC logo error screen
I can't go into recovery mode either - using the POWER and UP / DOWN buttons or through the software...
Stuck, and I really don't know what to do
Thanks in advance!

[q] hard bricked !!!! S.o.s!!

Hi guys, i was trying to unlock my bootloader, i succesfully got it unlocked, i tried flashing the viper 2.7 rom on it and it didnt work, when i went back into recovery i did a hard reset but somehow i ended up deleting all of the Os's from my phone, i even got the message saying "No OS installed". To make matters worse it also relocked my bootloader, and i cant flash back into recovery. When i powerdown and turn the phone back on im stuck in the same screen in the bootloader, no matter what option i select to try to reboot or flach recovery im kicked back into the bootloader screen with three flags at the top ****Tampered**** ****relocked**** and ****Security Warning*****, I have no idea what to try anymore.

Interesting.. it's not hard bricked though...

Unlock the bootloader again using hasoon2000 's all-in-one-toolkit and reflash recovery. After reflashing recovery (TWRP), find the ADB Sideload option, and use it to sideload a rom from your computer to the phone.
