[Q] [HELP] Can't load Recovery or Boot into ROM after HBoot 2.16

Hi everyone,

I tried to update my HTC One S (S4) HBoot from 1.06 to 2.16 so that I can run KitKat 4.4.4. But after the update, I'm not able to boot into TWRP or my original rom. I followed these instructions to update HBoot: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=39216236&postcount=274&nocache=1&z=674317537341266

If I choose recovery, it just reboots and gets stuck on the CyanogenMod Boot Screen.

I tried RUU but that failed -RUU_Ville_U_JB_45_S_TMOUS_3.14.531.11_Radio_1.13.50.05.31_10.30.50.08L_release_309489_signed_ICS_2.exe.

I tried flashing TWRP again but that failed - twrp-2.7.1.0a-ville-dm.img, twrp-2.7.1.2-ville.img, twrp-2.7.1.2-ville-dm.img.

I tried fastboot erase cache.

Any other thoughts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

p.s. is there a big difference between official and unofficial cyanogenmod releases?

Thanks! I actually fixed the issue before i saw your post.

I tried to install this rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2322755

found my cid wasn't correct so i changed it to 11111111 -> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317536

this finally allowed me into twrp, but my internal storage was corrupted.

so this helped: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086156

then i was able to install the rom from the first link, after that updating to cm11 was a breeze.

hope this helps someone.
