Hi everyone. Long time lurker here. Great help and info is always found on the forums. Im a bit inconsistent in the android department, have done a few flashes on android phones from friends here and there, but its been a while since Im stuck like right now.

Anyways, i have an HTC One S (idk how to identify if its Ville_U or VilleC2) on stock(?) v.4.0.3 from Rogers, yesterday i spent all day trying to;
-Unlock bootloader (htcdev method)
-Root (v4.0.3)
-Install Custom Recovery (been using both TWRP and CWM)
-SuperCID (Succesfully changed from i believe ROGERS01 or something like that to 11111111)
-S-Off (main goal was because i need to flash a 2.15 hboot , CM 10.2 install was giving me an "assert" error about that
- Finally install CM 10.2

Anyways, i was able to successfully do all those things in an exhausting whole day, but after installing CM 10.2, i was getting an HTC logo bootloop.
Yea, i know about flashing boot.img via fastboot after finishing with the CM install, but actually, THAT boot.img was what was causing the bootloop. I tried flashing my original boot.img from my nandroid backup back just to see what happens, and it doesnt actually bootloop, it just hangs on the htc logo.

So i guess thats my /first/ problem : i cant get cyanogenmod 10.2 to boot. Can anyone help me out here? Ive got:

VLE PVT SHOP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111
HBOOT 2.16.0000 ****note on this on next paragraph
RADIO-0.17-31501S.10_2
OPENDSP-v28.1.0.32.0504
eMMc-boot

My second problem is : after this problem, today i got desperate and started doing some stuff, updated hboot from 2.15, tried out a "Bulletproof v2.1" kernel, i dont remember what else. Anyways, now internal sdcard says its 48mb.
How can i fix this? im on twrp recovery right now. I cant flash my nandroid back bcuz nandroid >> 48mb

Thanks to anyone who has the time to help me out. I posted this on the cyanogenmod boards, but havent got a reply back.

First we need to know Ville or ville c2 !!! Can you post a link to the hboot update u used?

No matter if ville or ville c2 --> download this toolkit pls --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2471151

i suppose you have installed htc usb drivers?! If not --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2217396

Boot your One S into bootloader mode (Pressing "Vol down + power") ad connect it to your pc. Open the toolkit from the upper link and perform:

-> Fastboot commands --> "Get MID"

it will show you the model id. PJ401xxxx = ville ///// PJ402xxxx = ville c2

ok, i got:

mid: PJ4011000
finished. total time: -0.000s

So its a Ville. S4 right? Nice.

To achieve S-off, i used Hasoon2000's tool. i remember DLing this : http://d-h.st/sE6 in the process.
(PJ4010000-OneS.zip)

Ok, waiting on you now.

Im back at hboot 2.15.

I tried flashing cyanogenmod 10.2 and wasnt stuck at bootlogo.

i got alot of errors in recovery. SDcard said it was 0mb. I mounted usb storage inside TWRP and formatted in windows. Si Then flashed cyanogenmod.

Entered cyanogenmod but getting an error inside cyanogenmod: Encryption Unsuccesful, to resume using your phone, you need to factory reset.
So i went into TWRP and did factory reset.

I am now successfully inside cyanogenmod. Thank you. But how can i fix errors in recovery?

FLASH the stock recovery from the download link --> boot One S into bootloader --> perform "factory reset + clear storage"

THIS will only work with STOCK recovery!!! When finished you can flash a custom recovery and a new rom. I recommend you some KitKat rom. Simply the best ;) I'll get some links for the needed files for you :)

BTW it does not hurt pressing the "thanks" button :p

Do i NEED to flash stock recovery? stock recovery was ALREADY on phone, after i did the process. i couldnt get passed the ! Screen.
After that, i flashed TWRP back with fastboot and flashed cyanogenmod and am now on cyanogenmod. Thank you very much for your time and help. I think i will stay on cyanogenmod, but first i want to see if i can use my nandroid backup to downgrade to stock whenever i want.

Im a bit afraid of using other custom roms. On every android phone, i try to install cyanogenmod, it makes me feel safe/stable. I feel the USB file transfer is slower than on stock though.

Flashing a Kernel can sometimes mess up your SD-Card (But you know now how to fix it ;) )
+
With HBOOT 2.16 CM 10.2 CANT boot properly.

I can't exactly recognize what messed up your phone BUT can give some tip for your next instllation:

Before you perform a change, make sure that you're well informed about what you're going to do

When you're S-OFF you don't have to flash the kernel (boot.img) manually! Just Flash Rom.zip and you're done :)

Always use recommended (or compatible) recovery version + HBOOT version ;)

NEVER try mixing kernels from a rom with another rom! Only use included kernel, or a compatible custom kernel. :p

on hboot 2.15, i couldnt boot properly either. Now all that`s left is to remove "TAMPERED" from bootloader. Do you know how to do this?

Maybe u can help me one last time? i can only find guide for HTC One (M7)


You'll find a how-to on the first page here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1777223

You should use this tool to safely change your HBOOT from 2.15.0000 --> 1.14.0004 --> 2.15.0000 --> modded 2.15.0000

HBOOT-flasher --> http://d-h.st/DxE

When finished tampered + warning are gone ;)

Later you also can flash a custom Splash screen (The HTC picture when power on the phone). I use inverted original (black background + white text + green htc logo )

    ok, thank you. Cyanogenmod tells me ..
    Internal Storage Total Space 2.26 GB
    SD Card Total Space: 9.92

    Also, i only have 794mb ram, even though i am on 3.4 kernel, Is this information correct? how do i fix this



    Yes, everything is fine ;) 16GB are splitted to System/data/SD-Card.

    794MB Ram ist the value ;) Thats how it is :p And the phone is super fast with latest kernel :p

    Got rid of the "tampered" ?? You can easily change the hboot versions with the hboot-flasher-03.exe


    And i just found a link to make your OWN bootsplash ;) --> http://jb4m.homeip.net:81/bootsplash.php
