I hope you guys can help me out with this one, being a n00b rooter myself..


  1. Followed Cyanogenmod instructions for rooting and for installing 1.0.0.0 stable Cyanogenmod, couldn't find /sdcard folder on the drive so i uploaded the zip to ROOT and just took it from the openrecovery to install the CM ROM
  2. Bummer, didn't get past the bootscreen, started looking for the solution and found out i didnt wipe the data before installing CM. Wiped data and cleane both caches in openrecovery still no boot
  3. Followed these instructions (see quote below) from XDA developers that's where i found out my One S isn't recognized by my PC
you need to do that using your PC!!

After flashing downloaded cm10 ROM.zip and gapps. reboot to bootloader and select fastboot
1) connect your phone to PC - fastboot will change to fastboot usb
2) Ensure your pc has android sdk and usb debugging is enabled on your device
3) open command prompt -- Navigate to folder having android-sdk/platform-tools
4) extract boot.img from cm10 ROM zip file you downloaded and place it in same folder
5) run command "fastboot flash boot boot.img"
6) reboot phone and it should load fine.

I am stuck in this process because my PC doesn't recognize my phone anymore, when executing the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command it keeps waiting for the phone. It seems i am missing some drivers here? It is the same PC as i did the CM install (step 1) with..

Hope you know what to do :(
 
some more tips for troubleshooting connectivity:

troubleshooting connectivity issues:
-try a reboot of the PC
-try different usb cables and ports
-dont use a usb hub
-dont use usb 3.0
-make sure nothing capable of comunicating with the phone is enabled and running. htc sync,pdanet,easy tether,and even itunes have all been known to cause issues.
-windows 8 has been known to have issues. try a windows 7 or older machine

failing the above,
-i use these drivers for fastboot and adb(donwload and run as admin): http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe (mirror)

failing that,try manually updating the drivers in the following manner:
-put the phone in fastboot mode(select fastboot from the hboot menu)
-open device manager on the PC
-plug in phone,watch for it to pop up in device manager.
-update drivers with device manager,pointing the wizard to the extracted
driver download folder from above

note that you can check the connectivity of the phone,and make sure drivers are working by in the following manner:
-open cmd window. change to directory containing adb/fastboot utilities

-adb with the phone in the booted OS,usb debug enabled,enter:
adb devices in a cmd window

-fastboot with phone in fastboot,enter:
fastboot devices in cmd window

in either case,a properly connected phone with working drivers installed should report back the phones serial number.
