[Q] HTC Incredible S problem

I gained S-off on my HTC Incredible S.
When i go into recovery there comes first a picture of a phone with a green update circle with an arrow facing down, after a few seconds there comes a phone with a red exclamation mark. It stays like that, but if i push the power button + Sound Up it gets into recovery but it only has: Reboot System now, Apply update from sdcard, Wipe data/factory reset, Wipe cache partition.
And the end of the screen it says: E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
I don't have Superuser, and if i download an app to show if i have root on my phone it says i don't have root.
If i want to flash a rom it i push on: Apply update from sdcard.
And then it says: --Invalid Operation--
success reboot by reason em-00...
And then it just reboots my phone.
What can i do to flash my ROM, get superuser and gain root?

U flash superuser-3.1.3-arm or something like that. You can find the file on pretty much any rooting guide.

How on earth did u get S-OFF..... I mean you dont get S-OFF without unlocking bootloader > Flashing recovery > Flashing superuser > downgrade (if needed) > Then its S-OFF.....

You still have the stock HTC recovery in place. That is why you cannot flash the superuser.
You need to install either ClockworkMod recovery or 4EXT recovery in order to flash custom zip files from your SD card.

HTC OTAs can only be installed from the stock recovery. If you really want this, you've gotta copy the OTA for safekeeping (right now it's in /sdcard/Download/OTA_*), then install stock recovery try again. If you are not prompted to install the OTA, you can boot into recovery and do it manually (using key combinations to unlock the options, which are initially hidden).

you can check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463387
if you can't find an exact match to your firmware, then get one as close as possible; if it's not the same version, it could hang during the update procedure because it's unable to reboot, so you'll have to manually reboot using POWER + VOLDOWN, and let it continue it's work.

[Q] HTC One Freeezes after installing Custom ROM

After Installing custom ROM my HTC One is freeze at Welcome Screen. Touch Screen is not working. Only volume key and power button are working. Any Solution?
I am installing this ROMhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023&page=5
This is the process I took:
1. Turn OFF the device
2. Turn ON the device in bootloader mode (hold power + vol down)
3. Enter recovery mode using navigation keys
4. Selected "install zip", then "choose zip from /sdcard"
5. flashed Android Revolution HD ROM
At the end of the AROMA installation there was a message "se_metadata_recursiv: some changes failed" but it allowed me to continue
When finished it said Rom was flashed successfully I rebooted, it went to splash screen and went no further.
I tried re installing the Rom again same result
I completely wiped phone clean, restored to factory default re installed Rom.
sd card wont mount so due to not having removable sd card on this device I cant put any other roms or backup files on phone
I tried reinstalling the ROM without using the touch functionality on AROMA, with no success as well
Phone info is
Recovery Clockwork mod v6.0.4.8

Do you have a Sprint or Verizon phone? If not, try CWM 6.0.4.3 or TWRP 2.6.3.3 or 2.7.1.2

Try to get into bootloader/FASTBOOT USB and run the following:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
If you have a nandroid backup of your stock rom, you might want to try it.

Also you needed to wipe cache and dalvik cache and data before you installed the Rom. So your device is so fresh and so clean

Well no arhd wipes cache and dalvik as part of the install script. I would flash twrp 2.6.3.3. It works best with that Rom

Thank you all guys, the phone is back working again.
I changed the TWRP recovery to 2.7.1.1 and did the dalvik/cache wipes and it got back to work. The splash screen took a somewhat long time to finish in the first time, but everything worked.

Whenever you flash a new Rom you should wipe data, cache and dalvik.

I am not sure about OTA yet, maybe for OTA it will overwrite recovery and must do the process again.
Well before the android one rom you could not boot into recovery by holding vol + and power.
Unfortunately during the bootloader unlock process you cannot use the volume button.

[SOLVED] Stuck with TWRP - Can't flash OTA package

Hey everyone !
I have a rooted Honor 5C NEM-L51 (European variant) with TWRP custom recovery and, as some of you may know, Nougat update is now available to download using Huawei Firware Finder.
However, a stock recovery is needed in order to get OTA updates and since I couldn't find a stock recovery image by browsing the web, I decided to go back to a full stock ROM.
So I tried to do this the usual way : creating a dload folder, placing the update.app file in it, powering off the phone and back on by pressing simultaneously the volume up, down and power button... but this always lead me right to TWRP, no matter how many times I tried. I restored my phone from soft brick using this method about two months ago with no issue, but now I can't get it to work, even if I release the power button once the phone boots or do any other shady manipulation. Could this have anything to do with the latest TWRP update ?
I also tried to do the "Power on method" by dialing " *#*#2846579#*#*" to go to the project menu and flash the file from here, but it rebooted to TWRP...
I'm at a complete loss here. Can anyone please help me with this ?

Thank you for answering. The problem is, I don't know where to find stock recovery image, all I can find with Huawei Firmware Finder is the full stock ROM. Browsing the web didn't help so far.
Can I flash the whole ROM through ADB ?

Extract the update.app of full stock rom using huawei update extractor. There u will find recovery.img. Extract it and flash using fastboot.

I did that and then tried to install the update through the dialer. It rebooted and I'm stuck on "Your device is booting now..." screen. Can't even turn it off, it reboot automatically to this screen. Seems like there is no recovery at all and it tried to do the update through this inexistant recovery no matter how many times it reboot...
What can I do now ?

Don't do it through the dialer. After flashing the stock recovery, just restart and then try the three button configuration(volume up + volume down + power)

I can't. I am stuck on the "Your device is booting now..." screen. If I turn it off, it automatically turns on again to this screen.
Edit : Nevermind, looks like I didn't press the button correctly. Only the recovery was missing, I finally could boot to system by pressing the power button. Then I reinstalled TWRP with ADB and restored my nandroid backup. Back to the start...
I may have a hint about what went wrong. Extracting the Nougat UPDATE.APP file gave me two recovery files : recovery.img and recovery2.img. I only flashed the first. Any idea why there were two of them ? I am going to try with the FULLOTA-MF file (tried with the FULLOTA-MF-PV file before), or maybe should I try to extract files from the previous update ?
EDIT 2 : Still stuck with TWRP. I extracted several UPDATE.APP files and all have two RECOVERY.IMG files. I tried flashing them both, one after another and then reboot to erecovery, but TWRP is still here. How can I get rid of it and get back to stock recovery please ?

I have flashed several times Twrp recovery on my honor 5c, and i didn't even had to flash the stock recovery to get back to stock rom. I had placed the dload folder with full update in it, and used the 3 button method to flash the full rom. And i was once again in full stock including recovery. Try this. If it doesn't help, just flash the stock recovery. Then type fastboot reboot, let it boot. Then power it off. Now press volume up + power button. Just see which recovery it boots.

As I said, the three buttons method is not working and boot right into TWRP.
Which stock recovery ? There are two of them. Anyway, I tried this again, it led me back to the endless "Your device is booting now..." screen.

Well, I tried with or without uninstalling SuperSU which has an option to try to restore stuck boot and recovery images (which didn't work in my case).
I used adb to reboot into bootloader, from where I flashed either RECOVERY.IMG or RECOVERY.IMG and then RECOVERY2.IMG which I got from Huawei Update Extractor and reboot from fastboot. Then I tried to power off and back on my device by pressing volumes up and power button which led me to TWRP or endless booting screen. Flashing boot image from Update file gave me the same result.

Did that. I even flashed the previous version of the official TWRP beforehand. Still nothing. I even wiped everything from TWRP except internal storage and external SD card and still, the three buttons method led me right back to Meticulus TWRP.
However, I did notice something very strange. If I boot normally by pressing the power button and then, on the "Your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted" screen, press the volume up button to "boot into erecovery to restore my device", it boots into... official TWRP 3.1.0.0 !!! What the hell ?!
Do you have any idea ? This whole situation is so weird...
EDIT : This is just complete nonsense. I even wiped the internal storage and this abomination of TWRP 3.1.0.0 was still there. I really am at a complete loss here. ><
