Hey there,
i was wondering if there was anyone who could help me with unlocking the bootloader and rooting my HTC One mini running android 4.3 and HTC Sense 5.5. Its an unlocked model from the UK. Im kind of new to this and was very confused and so am hoping someone here could give me or link me to a tutorial to do these things. If there is a similar post then i apologise for making another one.
Hope someone can help me :good::good:

Unlock your bootloader at htcdev.com. Then flash the twrp 2.6 and install the root if you want. You get a option to. Then if you want to s-off use the revone method or the rumrunner. I prefer the revone.

Hello there, Thanks for they reply! How do I flash twrp 2.6 and how do I install the root? I think I have seen tutorials for s-off so i'll be ok with that.
Thanks Again

After you unlock bootloader, you can just google or search on the fourums on how to install twrp using cmd if you have windows.

I was planning to install CM7.1, then realised that the update from HTC changed the HBOOT along with the Sense 3.0 update. But apparently the bootloader can be unlocked officially by HTC.
Question is, how do I install a custom ROM with this method? I'm assuming you need to install CWMR, which needs root. Then use that to flash the ROM. Can anyone who has used this method tell me exactly how it's done on the Desire S?
Help is really appreciated, thank you.

Good luck with that.
I assume that you already know how to do this.
You must have a custom Recovery for you to flash ROMs initially.
Note: This ROM must be using an UNMODIFIED build.prop and the OFFICIAL boot.img of RUU HTC_EUROPE_2.10.401.5

Guys i didnt understand this .. explain me please, i unlocked the bootloader and im on step 3 and i dont understand.
Please, I need some basic help:
I have a HTC One V, he's unlocked bootloader and root.
I unlocked my bootloader using a tutorial that is here Forum HTC One S. Same method.
Now I want to install ROM an official from another country (I want a European ROM).
I need to lock the bootloader again?
Can I install this ROM for HTC Sync?
Could anyone help me with this question? Thank you for your attention.
(Please do not move the question for another forum, because no one in another forum, and devices V and S are nearly equal.)
Thanks.
for official ROMs you need an RUU. whether or not a One S RUU will run on a One V device is unknown..
RUU's can be found in development section

But, and the question about bootloader:
I need lock bootloader again, or not?
HTC Sync install RUU, with bootloader unlock ?
Thanks !
yeah. i have done it like that.. you should be fine..
but if your flashing One S stuff on a One V there is no guarantee it will work
you take the risk flashing files meant for a different phone.

I downloaded the RUU original HTC One V.
I will install using the HTC Sync then, since i do not need S-ON again.
Thanks for help.
I think your supposed to install RUU's through fastboot

I didn't need gold card. My DS has Htc firmware without branding...

STOP! More info please! Are you only rooted? Bootloader unlocked? S-OFF or S-ON?
If you are ONLY rooted, DO NOT follow the instructions on the link below....
Provide more info, THEN we can help!

Hey chief.... Please don't take this the wrong way, but I'd advise against anyone following those instructions. No offence intended to the OP.
I salute you for trying to help, but to help, you need to ask what actually he needs help with......
Sorry ...thanks buddy....lol

Hi,
I've just rooted my htc one mini 4.2.2 before updating to 4.3 -_- (so i can't remove blinkfeed cause i get an error when i try to update)
I'm wondering how i can do that ? Do i have to unroot or can i bypass this error ?
After some searches :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2598367
with dl links for the OTA file for 4.3
I could flash it with superCID "on"?
Or try the link before and update while in the system ?
Thanks
I'v followed the tuto before to get s-off and supercid (as i was s-ON). I had some difficulties but gaining root access by taping su in adb shell make it worked. I now have supercid and s-off but still can't install the OTA...
If i have well understand i should flash a stock rom before ? The fact is i didn't flash any rom i've just unlock the bootloader and root the device.
My build number is actually 1.32.401.2 and the thread i've followed to get supecid and s-off doesn't give this build number rom.
The dl links i've shown before points to an OTA file containing "1.32.401.2" in it's name so it may be compatible ? How can i trust those files as it's an 632Mb file (631.7) but the OTA is 630.55Mb . . .
OR,
I could directly flash the international 4.4 rom you gave in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2665746 as my goal is having the most update system and sense (to remove blinkfeed) and be rooted to uninstall those f***ing gapps i don't want ?
It was much more easier with SGS3...
