Root Phone stuck without rom, unable to load

[danagu]

Hi,
I'm working on this problem for three days now, dont know what else I can do.

I have an htc one s (s3), hboot version 3.1.0, cid htc 612, twrp v 2.5.0.0.
My phone is stuck on the htc white screen ("quietly brilliant, this build is for...").
I could not find the correct ruu in the web so I cant go back to stock.

I am currently trying to change my cid but I get stuck at running:

adb shell
su
/sbin/sh: su: not found

I tried to flash root and it seems like I have one, but the procedure above doesn't work..

does anyone know what can I do to be able to run su?

Thanks in advance

Hello danagu! Welcome to AF.

I think you will get better help up here in the all things root section.

I hope you get it straight!

I don't believe you can use that method to change the cid on an s3 version of the one s. Did you make a backup in twrp before attempting that stuff?

I had a root problem but after installing "adb insecure" - I have no more problems. See if that will help.

adb shell
su
/sbin/sh: su: not found

I got this same thing before because I was trying to run adb shell commands while phone was in bootloader or recovery mode - after trying lots of things someone asked if I was booted to normal function of the phone.

There is most likely nothing wrong with your sh.
It is supposed to be an executable, not a directory.

Are you doing this in recovery or while fully booted?
I bet you're in recovery and I bet you have to be booted in Android.


An adb shell in recovery is already root. You don't need/have su. Both pm and su are in /system/bin/ when booted in Android, as is sh by the way. In recovery your shell is /sbin/sh (like yours is) and you have no su or pm.
