so i tryed to get on the hboot to fastboot the root but it took me back to the clockworkmod recovery
It's a bummer you can't do a battery pull. Can you use fastboot commands to get to your bootloader? With phone hooked to computer use
Adb reboot bootloader

Can you get to your bootloader like this? Sometimes this works when other methods won't.

did you also follow the directions to install the boot image?

remember,you were going to do this:
if the rom installed successfully,then prolly you just need a kernel(boot image). so if you can flash the boot image from the rom,it should boot.
in the event you need to run the ruu,download the one agentc13 linked(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941402)
to run the ruu,heres what you will need to do:
-download ruu
*charge phone to 100%
-place phone in fastboot(select fsatboot from hboot menu),plug in
-open a cmd window,change to android directory
-fastboot devices (if you get serial number,then procede)
-fastboot oem lock
the phone will try and reboot,or it will give you a security warning,and lock you into bootloader. dont worry,this is normal.
-make sure the phone is in fastboot. run the .exe file(the ruu you downloaded) on the PC as administrator. when it finishes,it will reboot,you will be stock again.
if you have trouble getting the ruu to run,you can re-unlock the bootloader at any time with your original token.
after you are up and running,if you want to reroot,a couple tips:
-i personally do not use clockwork,when possible. id condiser staying with twrp recovery,or possible ext 4 if it is available for the one s.
*do not use superboot. after re-unlocking with your original token you can use fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img to install your recovery,or fastboot boot recoveryname.img to temporarily launch it into memory
-you may want to just install superuser and stick with a stock rooted rom while you get the feel of being rooted and learn how to flash roms. you can root the stock rom very simply by downloading superuser from here,then simply flash it in recovery
-in the future,make sure you always make a backup of a good working rom,so youll have something to fall back on. then,do not delete it. this situation would have been alot easier on you if you had a backup to restore.
then if the reboot failed,you were going to do this:
if the rom installed successfully,then prolly you just need a kernel(boot image). so if you can flash the boot image from the rom,it should boot.

nope... no s-off for any of the one series(except LTEvo). only option at this point is htcdev unlock,wich,as we see is better than nothing,but confusing for new rooters.

cool,if you can get your boot image flashed,you should be able to boot.
if not,you may have to run the ruu.
im off to work,but i will try my best to watch if you have troubles. in a worse case,ill be home around 7 EST,so if you dont here from me for awhile,im not ignoring you

unfortunately,we cant gaurnatee you anything. especially since we are unable to obtain enuff info to even figure out what happened to your phone in the first place.
on the bright side,since htcdev unlock protects the bootloader and radios,it is next to impossible to brick an s-on,htcdev unlocked device with software flashing,so the chances of any permanent,irreparable damages are slim to none
have you ran the ruu yet? are you sorted?

I didn't read the rest of this thread,because, well, i'm lazy, but i am here to try and help you.
in CWM if you scroll to the bottom under Mounts and Storage, Press that, then Mount SD. ( i dont think you have an SD card, but it will mount the internal "SD" )
Then you can pick a custom ROM that you want, put it on your phone since it should now be mounted, then press back. This will unmount your phone.
Then Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe cache. Wipe everything.
Install from Zip.
navigate to the rom you chose, scroll all the way though the nos to the yes, select, watch it do its magic.
Wonder how much of this has been said, like i mentioned, i didn't read this thread.

Hello all, I have the same problem! However, I can't get the fastboot boot command to work. I can get the serial number with the adb(?) command, but when I try to boot with a rom from my c:\android folder, the command prompt just stalls saying waiting for device.
Can someone help? Thank you in advance!
