After FACTORY RESET NO LOCK SCREEN

Ok so after i factory resetd my HTC sensation now i do not have the lockscreen ring to drag accept or decline when i get a receive an incoming call while the phone is locked prior to the incoming call. When i get a phone call it automatically has the red and green button where i can simply just press to pick up or decline. I WANT THE LOCK SCREEN RING BACK! i always end up picking up calls on accident when i'm trying to get my phone out from my pocket or purse. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?????

Lol. Thank u..

N if i were to root would that mean i have to change the Rom on the phone also, cuz i have looked into the different Roms out there but i think i like the stock Rom.

(Don't forget that rooting ure phone will stop ure guarantee)
2)you install a stock recovery from the ROM u use and it will install Stock recovery and stock ROM (Including Stock lockscreen) We will help u for that

Step of what i did and what i saw:
1. Pulled battery out and placed it back in, pressed volume down along with power button
2. then i see this
3. I chose "Fastboot" just to see what would happen and i saw this
From here i chose "bootloader" it did nothing then i chose "reboot bootloader" it didnt do anything.. in the end i just chose reboot
4. so then u did steps 1 and 2 again..from there i chose "recovery" this time n saw this
I saw this picture for a few seconds and then it changed to this :
That is what i see.
Thank you for all your time and patience in helping me solve this problem

now i see you are completely stock
the only solution i can think is to run a ruu.exe
see here

then only you have to do is to find the right ruu for your device and run it from pc(connect the device via usb)

if you S-OFF the device you are fully unlocked
you can flash whatever you want
with S-ON(but unlocked bootloader) you can flash only roms and kernels

The solution may be as simple as going to settings , security and going to screen lock.
It may be set to none

1. Flash 4EXT recovery via fastboot commands.
2. Enable "smartflash" (tools>smartflash)
3. Reboot and enjoy!
Look here for 4EXT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20015407
By the way, if you're coming from a different version of android or from a sense ROM, then you must format all partitions from recovery before flashing the ROM.

Smartflash is a convenience.
You need to flash boot.img manually. This is an issue for 90% flashes. Just Google how to do it.

You already have s off. No need for smartflash. Just format everything except sdcard and flash.
Also, it is possible to have locked bootloader and s off.

If the OP is trying to install a Sense 5 OTA, RUUs are not available yet.

Oh my bad, I guess he can unlock the boot loader, flash twrp, root, s off, install one of the sense 5 roms but if he doesn't want to do that he should just call at&t or something. Sorry for the confusion.

Necronhyperion, there is no where near enough info in your posts to offer any advice. You need to tell us what phone you have, what version it is currently running, supercid/s-off status and exactly what update you are trying to install.

I'm not an AT&T customer i live in Greece
How can i see the boot loader details ?

*sorry for the Greek language but i don't have it now in my hands to change it.

Turn off your phone, once it's off completely hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding them together), after a few seconds let go of power but keep holding volume down until it reaches the white screen with text. This is your bootloader.

Your software version is 1.88, which is pretty out of date, and you've missed one or more OTAs. So you therefore will not receive any more OTAs (they must be received sequentially, and you will only get the latest).
Your best bet may be to RUU to the latest available software. But if your phone is SuperCID and S-on, and you run a Jellybean RUU, you will brick the phone. Which is why timmaaa is asking for your hboot details (for more info, so we can help properly).

All ota are still available from HTC. The update is failing on his phone likely because it has been modded.
The user is just very slow at answering questions.
Once we can confirm lock, soff and super cid status best bet is still likely a ruu.

At&t and Rogers confusingly marketed this phone as the One X but it is actually the One XL (Evita). You have the Endeavoru.

You need to have the Firmware.zip with the hboot 2.22 to upgrade again, you will find it in the OTA file for example.
You did not say anything about the rom / OTA version (cidnum) that is installed on your mini, but you will need the exact version from the CID, that is now displayed on your Mini !!! For example HTC__001 !
I do not have the hboot 2.22, but i did a firmware flash from hboot 2.21 to hboot 2.19 and back again to hboot 2.21 so I think it should work, but I am S-OFF already !!!
Maybe there is someone around here with experiance of hboot 2.22 and knows which kitkat version/OTA has the needet frimware.zip file.
I only know about the different hboots 2.19 and 2.21 because I flashed these to get my 4.4.2 update.
So be sure you have your version of files that you have now and want back after S-OFF
Try this
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip firmware.zip (maybe there is a notice that you should do this a second time, then you net to type line 2 again!)
fastboot reboot
As I am not an expert, I don´t know for sure if that works, sorry

Yea, sorry for not telling you. I already s-off it with rumrunner. I just had to flash a different rom that has unsecured kernel. Thanks though. And also ty for ur ruu extracted files. I downloaded it and flashed the hboot then took the ruu back a while ago when my phone didn't work.

Ive been trying ages to s-off my rooted HTC One Mini (m4) just so I can removed the startup sound, and move some notification sounds into the system notification folder and do other things with the system and remove some bloatware. Here is my setup:
HTC one Mini (M4) Rooted
Stock ROM - Meteor Ireland
Version: 4.3 HTC sense Version 5.5
HBoot: 2.21 0000
Tried Fire Water looks like its going through motions and then says whelp phone is not supported DO NOT COME TO IRC ASKING FOR UPDATES OR ETAS! ... if we are able to fix this issue, it will be announced ********** ********** bye bye.....sorry it didn't work out
Then I tried revone but that failed error = 1 after typing ./revone -P
im stuck now, dunno what to do/try - I dont really want to go down road of wiping/installing different rom if i can help it - phone is too good to brick!

Rumrunner will s-off your device even after 4.4.2 update.

well what dya know tried rum runner (soju.exe) again today an got a whole lot of new words like 'hmm cap is on tighter than expected' (didnt get that yesterday when I tried it out) and I think (not sure until I try to right to system file later) that it might have done it!

My custom kernel has selinux disabled so there's really no need for s-off.

[Q] Bootloop. No recovery.

A friend owns this. Somehow the phone went into bootloop. Just shows the htc logo and then turns off and on, again shows the htc logo. Plus theres no recovery. When i tried going into the recovery a red error drawn up on a phone appeared, thus couldnt enter into recovery.
Phone is stock. Non rooted, nothing modified, tweaked. Bootloader locked.
[Picture attached just incase if its needed]

Solution
OK. For this you gonna need to unlock Bootloader. Use this

.
WARNING: It will Factory Reset his device!
Then download any recovery (CWM, TWRP or 4EXT), and flash it through fastboot.
There is the complete guide of how to do that:

I suspect the phone has been xtc clipped to remove s-on and sim unlock. In any case the exclamation mark is a stock recovery. If you run a ruu (ROM update utility) you will restore the phone to factory settings. Hboot does not need unlocked as you have s-off

Simply running the ruu will fix it?

Its quite simple tell me your region of the world/carrier the phone was on if you know it. We will locate the correct software version and you will download it. Plug phone into the PC In hboot mode and run the program. It will do its business and flash factory software. Reboot and done all going well

@heavy_metal_man I live in Pakistan but i guess as long as the ruu is not locked to an operator, its gonna work right?
Plus i found this. Indian one. This is Gingerbread right and not ics? Or any other reccommendation?
thanks man.

http://www.shipped-roms.com/downlo...AU_3805.06.02.03_M_release_199605_signed.exe I would use this one, the source is trusted yeah it will work allowing the phone is not sim locked and this ROM is ICS based HTC sense.

Yeah man that's all. If it fails then we can extract the file required and give it to hboot manually, but we shouldn't have to all going well
