Very unusual situation with HTC One Mini - Any Help? - HTC One Mini

A friend brought a HTC One Mini in a very unusual situation to me. The phone bootloader is "Locked" and "S-ON". It only boots to fastboot usb mode only. The battery is still ok because I checked with a script that is used to charge in that mode when the battery is low; at least it still has about 3870mV, and the minimum is around 3680mV. The problem is that:
1. When I try to unlock so I can flash a custom TWRP recovery the unlock spalsh screen does not appear, although the unlock command says sucessful.
C:\fastboot-win>fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin
sending 'unlocktoken' (0 KB)...

writing 'unlocktoken'...
(bootloader) unlock token check successfully
OKAY [ 0.006s]
finished. total time: 0.161s

2. I downloaded this stock file OTA_M4_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_3.10.708.4-2.12.708.3_release_351634.zip because it matches the OS version showing on the fastboot screen on the phone. When I try to flash it from fastboot I get this error:
C:\fastboot-win>fastboot flash zip OTA_M4_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_hTC_Asia_HK_3.10.708.4-2.12.708.3_release_351634.zip

Can anyone please render any help? I can follow any instructions to the letter, just that I have never come across this kind of issue before.
Thanks in advance.

Hheeellllpppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been trying to flash a stock recovery or CWM Touch onto my HTC One using fastboot.exe that came with the latest version of ADK.

Why don't you just flash it through the app? Or flash twrp through goo manager. It's also touch based.

It sounds like your bootloader is still locked. Unlock it through htcdev before trying to fastboot flash recovery.

HTC One Mini will not boot, stuck at Fastboot

My HTC One Mini has developed a problem where it will not turn on, it just keeps loading up the Fastboot screen. If I power down or restart the device many times, I can get lucky and it will boot the OS. Right now, that seems to not be working.
If I select the Bootloader option and go to Recovery, it just flashes up the 3 Android guys on skateboards and goes back to Fastboot. Reboot and Reboot Bootloader both reboot the phone, but I end up at the Fastboot menu again. Also, if I power down, it doesn't show the charge animation, it just jumps back into the Fastboot menu, unless I have removed power/USB from the device and then it will power off.
I've read quite a few forum posts, too many I think, and I'm not stuck on what to do/try. Any help would be great, I currently have no phone!

[Q] Loopboot on Android logo

Hi,
Just received my opo yesterday and the phone never booted successfully.
When I turn the phone on, the android logo appears and, after a few seconds, it vibrates and then reboots... Over and over again.
Recovery mode doesn't work, but I can enter fastboot mode.
Tried to unlock the bootloader to flash the factory image but it seams that it isn't working even if the command returns successful because when I try to flash something it says that the device is locked.
I filled a ticket on OP's support but I'm afraid I don't get a response before 10+ days.
Does anyone have any suggestion to help?
Thanks!
This situation seems like a situation I've heard in the past. Did you happen to use a toolkit to root?
Are you able to boot into a custom recovery by typing fastboot boot recovery.img (download TWRP and rename it to recovery.img putting it into fastboot)
Please don't use a toolkit to do this.
I didn't tried boot into a custom recovery yet.
I'll try that as soon as I get home.
First I tried manually and then by using a toolkit and the results were the same.
Thanks!
I tried booting into TWRP recovery:
fastboot boot recovery.img
downloading 'boot.img'...
OKAY [ 0.442s]
booting...
OKAY [ 0.021s]
finished. total time: 0.463s
But when the booted again it didn't go to the recovery and started the bootloop again.
Any other ideias?
Thanks!
Hi, I believe your phone simply has no rom, so you have to flash one with fastboot. I've seen you already have fastboot working, so that will greatly help.
Follow this and your phone should hopefully work as expected :

Did you fastboot oem unlock? I don't remember the exact command by memory, sorry. You can probably find it on any One plus forum.
Edit: yep, command is correct.

Yes...it's the last piece of my last message. Sorry if it wasn't clear.
Apparently, it works fine...but then I get those messages when trying to flash anything.
Hum, I don't know then... Weird.

Your bootloader isn't unlocked so there's no way flashing the factory images is going to work. Can you copy/paste the text from an attempt at unlocking the bootloader?

The text from the attempt at unlocking the bootloader is already in a previous post and it returns ok!
Nevertheless, as soon as I get home I will try again.

Did you buy the phone directly from OPO? Or did you buy it from somewhere else? If so, where?

I read every post of that topic, but it seams that to use that mod it's necessary to have the bootloader unlocked or to temporary boot into a custom recovery...and I can't do neither.
Temp recovery mode is from fastboot.
Get into fastboot mode, connect to PC. From PC, enter
fastboot boot <recovery.img>
You'll need the recovery.img file in you PC. That'll get you into temp recovery mode.

HTC One Mini M4 - S-ON - Stuck on Bootloader. Can't unlock, Can't flash recovery

I am not able to fix my dad's HTC One Mini M4. It just starts into bootloader screen and can only be switched to HBOOT and vice versa. Screen on the phone is attached.
>> Interestingly I have also damaged the volume buttons and they just don't work. While replacing the battery the volume flex was unintentionally pulled out of the board and now it has no connection to the board whatsoever.
Only power button can switch the modes from bootloader to HBOOT or HBOOT to bootloader.
>> I am not sure if any firmware is still there on it. I am not sure what RUU I need to use in that case.
here's what I have tried so far.
I tried to flash recovery but it fails at (bootloader) signature checking.
