[Q] S-off mistake

tomlennart · Jun 20, 2014

Hey!

I tried to flash the Maximus rom onto my one s today and I needed quite a few tries.
Unfortunately I forgot to check if my phone is s off and it isn't. Now I flashed the rom and after I start the phone I only see the htc starting screen for a few seconds and then it turns black and flashes a little bit every 4-5 seconds.
Do you guys know how I can turn the device to s off and then flash it?
Thank you so so much!
Tom

Go to bootloader and conect the phone with youre PC. Read carefully the description. Follow the steps.

Thanks for the answer but the problem is that I can't start the phone to activate the developers mode or do anything else! It would have to be through fastboot or recovery! Also my computer doesn't recognize the phone, even though I was able to push something on the phone through adb sideload!

Did you make a NANDROID backup with a custom recovery? If so, restore from that.

I didn't!

What recovery do you have on there? You can flash a custom recovery on there like TWRP.
If you get TWRP on there, you can mount the sdcard and copy another ROM on there. Then do a full wipe and install the zip and then flash the boot.img to get something like CM11 on.

Alternately, you can relock your bootloader with fastboot usb, then install an RUU to bring it back to stock, then try something like moonshine.io to get S-OFF, then try maximusHD again.

I do have TWRP on there!
So, how does it work? I choose Mount, then which options do I pick? And does my computer automatically recognize the phone in the list of the connected devices or do I have to download a special program?
Which rom should I take and how exactly does it work? Is there a tutorial out there so you don't have to do all the work?
Thank you so much!!!

So reboot into bootloader. First see what HBOOT you are on. It will determine what ROM you should try.
If you have 2.15 you go with ROMS that support 2.15. If 2.16 then go with something that supports 2.16.
As far as mounting, go into TRWP. Choose MOUNT and choose Internal Storage. This will allow you to mount the internal storage on your computer.

I guess mine is 2.13 right? I don't have enough posts to post pictures so please delete the space between https:// and the rest of the link!

When I go to mount, I can't click on internal storage! I choose all I could, but the last two are "unclickable"

Thanks for taking up with my stupidity!

Someone chime in, but maybe you will want to upgrade your HBOOT to 2.15???
What is the carrier? Where are you located?

This _may_ be your RUU - don't run it until we know your carrier/location:
http://mobilefileserver.com/download.aspx?get=167185

PJ40IMG_Ville_U_JB_45_S_HTC_Europe_3.16.401.9_Radio_1.15.50.05.29_10.30.50.08L_release_314432_signed

Running an RUU will get you back to stock. After that, you may want to upgrade your ROM so it's compatible with moonshine.io or other S-OFF application. Once you become S-OFF you are much more free to do many things to your phone.

BTW: in your picture data might be the the choice to try. Try and mount data and see if you see your files on there.

tomlennart · Jun 26, 2014

I'm using AT&T right now, but the phone doesn't have a simlock. My location is a little bit complicated, I'm in Wisconsin right now, but the phone is from Germany, and I'll go back to Germany in about two months.

My computer doesn't recognize the phone at all, but makes the noise like you unplug something...

How would I upgrade the HBOOT?

808phone · Jun 26, 2014

I hope you have fastboot installed on your computer (windows?) if not:
http://dottech.org/21534/how-to-ins...ows-computer-for-use-with-your-android-phone/

Boot into the boot loader, make sure it ways fastboot USB
On your computer in terminal, type: fastboot devices

Hopefully it will return something.

tomlennart · Aug 4, 2014

Okay, finally I'm back in Germany and have time to try it!
I did what you just told me and it returned this:

C:\Users\Tommi>fastboot devices
HT23RW400512 fastboot

Thats good, right?
So what would the next steps be?
Thank you so much for your help!

Anyone?

Is there anyone who can help me?

OK you said you had TWRP. Start up in recovery, go to mount and then select internal storage.
See if the sdcard partition mounts on your computer.
If so, at that point you can put a rom on there and also the boot.img that you need to start your phone up.

tomlennart · Aug 23, 2014

No, I can't mount the internal storage!
Somewhere I saw how to fix it before but I don't remember how and where I saw it!

But where do I get the stock recovery? I googled a little bit and saw that there are like a thousand different ones!
Sorry for all the stupid questions

And thank you all for the help!
