[Q] HTC One Mini not booting up fully and no access to recovery - HTC One Mini

Hello,
My phone was updating and crashed. The phone turns on but only the HTC logo appears and then goes to a black screen. I can't fastboot into the device as it is not recognised. I can't access TWRP recovery any more and goes to a downloading screen and then restarts again. While in the bootloader the phone shows the following:
***TAMPERED***
*** RELOCKED***
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
CID-11111111
HBOOT-2.19.0000
RADIO-1.22.40e.00.07
OpenDSP-v19.2.0268.0927
OS-1.31.401.1
eMMC-boot 1024MB
Aug 7 2013, 17:37:54.0
Please help me, any help greatly appreciated!
Update:
The phone is working and has an update but it can not update on the device, is there a way i can get the downloaded OTA file on to my PC?

Ok
First I recommend you to unlock your bootloader.
So if you are in bootloader and your device is not recognised I think it´s a driver issue.
If you allready checked it check it once more or update your tools (ADB, fastboot)
If nothing helps you could go to recovery and format your device (not only wipe format) should be clear that all data on device is lost.
Try different recoverys some people report that philz also works fine on M_4. (try install new rom option on philz).
DONT flash stock sense 6 ROM (wrong partition layout for this hboot) with this hboot rather take 5.5.
I´m sorry but without get connectet via ADB or fastboot I think there is no chance to get it working again.

I can not access recovery to wipe anything out, on bootloader if i choose to wipe it attempts to load recovery which goes into download mode. The device comes up as "Device failed emulation" on Windows 8

I tell you in short terms:
If you can´t get a fastboot connection to your device it looks very bad to bring your device back.
For wiping something you need recovery for flashing new recovery you need fastboot.
For flashing a new firmware to fix messed up partitions you need fastboot.
And first of all to unlock your bootloader you need fastboot.
You see all ends up with fastboot.
As what the device is shown in the manager of windows?
Better to use Windows 7 there are much driver problems people reporting on win 8

Ok, I will use a win 7 pc and let you know

If you have a connection via fastboot you first have to decide what ROM you want, search for the matching firmware.
for example flash the latest firmware for M_4... 4.09.401.3 from here (new partition layout for e.g. sense 6):
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzCFBBNdXagdcEMybkdBME5iUE0/edit
After that flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 or philz and format all you have to try one of this recoverys should work.
Next push or sideload a ROM via adb I recommend you one them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc...-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921
You can decide what you want rooted or not it doesn´t matter.
After installing with succsess try to reboot that´s it.

I encountered a similar issue when playing around with returning my device to stock. I flashed stock recovery, then re-locked my bootloader. What is the downloading screen you're seeing? Is it the stock recovery screen?
To fix, i had to change CID back to stock (for me that was, CWS__001)
Unlock bootloader again, using HTC unlock.bin (unlock.bin wouldn't work when i was on super cid)
Flash custom recovery TWRP 2.6.3.0 (I'm not sure if 2.7.1.1 works with the old partition layout, so i used this version until i had upgraded to hboot 2.22, then I flashed 2.7.1.1. This may be an unnecessary step, but it always worked for me)
Once twrp was working again...
Flash stock hboot 2.22 found in the dev section
Flash TWRP 2.7.1.1 (again, might be an unnecessary step)
Boot to recovery
From TWRP, adb push the sense 6 rom i wanted to flash (IC 3.07 in my case)
After the push completed, flash ROM and reboot and all was good
As you can see, the steps i took require that fastboot and adb drivers work flawlessly, especially when pushing ROM to the device using abd.
If any of this seems unfamiliar, then don't do these steps. Again, this is just what i did when i flashed stock recovery and re-locked bootloader with a ROM that wouldn't boot.

Did you get fastboot working yet? Does "fastboot devices" show your device? You can't do anything until fastboot works...but I imagine it worked at some point, since you unlocked and re-locked your device.
You can't install recovery because your bootloader is locked. And you can't unlock your bootloader until you change your CID back to whatever it was when you created the unlock.bin file on the HTC website.
Are you getting this error when you attempt to unlock?
FAILED (remote: unlock token check failed)

That's what i had to do when i first tried to root my phone. I was on Windows 7, but it was an old install and had all kinds of software on it that might have been preventing usb from working (iTunes, HTC Sync, some other random software, etc.) Sometimes, I would even have trouble connecting an external HD!
I ended up installing a clean copy of XP on an old computer that i now use strictly for flashing stuff to my phone.

New problem
I have 4.3 on my HTC now and have received an update for 4.4.2, however when I try this it goes a quarter of the way then comes up with a red triangle and exclamation point. The device is still rooted somehow. Can you help me update?

I don't think OTA will work on unlocked/tampered device with custom recovery.I think you need to run ruu.exe if one is available for you to get 100% stock before OTA will work again.

Hello,
I found an FUU for 4.4 Kitkat on the link you posted earlier, It does all the necessary actions with no failures and completes with a Congrats screen but the firmware is the same?

[Q] Device not recognized in fastboot

I have, in the past had fastboot working on my Desire S in Windows 7 so perhaps this is a Windows 8.1 driver compatibility issue?
Firstly, I tried to downgrade from a very slow Jelly Bean to the Ice Cream Sandwich RUU, but the device got stuck in a bootloop showing the HTC logo and the RUU USB connection times out. So I figured that I might need to re-lock my device for the RUU to work. So I tried, but fastboot devices, and fastboot oem lock dont work. Windows 8.1 says Device unrecognized and I have tried reinstalling different versions of the drivers.
adb devices works when the phone is in Jelly Bean. It's just fastboot that doesn't work.
Please help?
i have the same problem,only i have ice cream sandwich perfecto linaro edition,and my phone is not recognised on 5 different pc,and 3 macs.
fastboot does not work,neither adb debugging.
i don-t have a notification when i plug in the cable,and also i can-t use mass storage.i tried flashing a new kernel,but it wont-t flash.
recovery works,i can flash other roms,but i get a boot loop and cannot start the phone.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks.

unfortunately it didn't work.
the driver provided didn't detect my phone.
if i format the sd card will it work?
is there any method to relock the bootloader from hboot or fastboot?i can enter recovery but every time i flash a new rom,i get a bootloop .

Sorry for the newbish question, but have you both tried using different cables? I had this problem once, and it was the cable that was faulty. Charged fine, sdcard mounted fine - but neither adb nor fastboot worked.
allexander: I dont think PG88img.zip will run with s-on unless its an official, signed update thing. I think thats correct, anyway.
hello.
the pg88img.zip file is in fact the rom.zip renamed after a stock RUU installation.
I tried usint 3 different cables for the phone.
i can however connect through wifi adb.
can i do something to flash a different boot.img and then flash a ROM i know it works with usb connection and adb debugging?

Hmm interesting problem. Generally when the hboot says 'parsing PG88img.zip' but then that flashes for a second and goes away again, its because its trying to find a valid PG88IMG.zip but cant find one it thinks is valid enough to use. So I still think this relates to you being S-ON. For example maybe the hboot file is too old for your current version, in which case there may be fixes available using misc_version hack. That's just my instinct though. My radio has always been s-off via a cheap hardware clip, but I still struggled at first to flash PG88IMG.zip because I didnt understand the file format.
There is alot you could do if you could get PG88IMG.zip working.
Regarding your strange bootloop: are you certainly using 4EXTRecovery to wipe all partitions except the SD card before flashing a new rom?
nothing worked for me in windows 8.1 , cannot recognise the device in fastboot. only recognised in adb.
so just installed windows 7 in another partition. then fastboot recognised the phone. and i could flash the 4ext recovery. :good:
I am using twrp 2.4 and i can't flash another recovery.every time i try,it says recovery flashed then i get the same recovery when i reboot

Hi your biggest issue is with windows 8 and Fastboot. They don't play nice. You will need a windows 7 PC to proceed. Once you have that. Reunlock your bootloader and flash a stock ROM from the dev section.

You are correct good sir, s-on is the issue here. If the IMG.zip passed to the hboot is a lower version that the img installed to the device the hboot will skip it anyway. A misc hboot downgrade would work but you would need a unlocked hboot+ working recovery and to make a gold card to bypass the cid check of the ruu.
Its not that hard to do once you have done it before, but it can be daunting at first
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk
i flashed just now flinny cm,and i got passed the htc logo,and the boot animation started but it was in a very low resolution and not centered on the screen.
i get to the point where my charging led is on,then nothing.it remains the same,through the boot process.
i am usint twrp 2.4 and i cannot flash another recovery ,not via terminal or apps in the phone.i will try to flash in recovery.can i do that?

Makes sense. I'm surprised there isn't a fix for it in Windows 8. My phone is already unlocked and I am wanting to install the RUU. Are you suggesting that I can't downgrade with RUU and need to install a stock ROM instead?

correct. while you could do it, its alot of hassle you would need to edit your misc partition so it states that your mainversion is lower than it really is. then the ruu is considered an "upgrade" and gets flashed. you would also need to make a goldcard using your sdcard and the goldcard tool in order to bypass the hboots cid check on your ruu. then it would run.
but much easier to flash a rooted stock rom go for one of these

It is the incompatible of the driver with either Windows 8 & 8.1. I have to PCs, one with Windows 7 and the other with Windows 8.1; under either bootloader or recovery mode plugged in works with Win 7. On the other hand on win 8.1, recovery mode plugged in works fine but bootloader mode win 8.1 does not recognize the phone. I have tested them with the same phone and the same rom C11 by Devin Kin. No matter which HTC drivers installed, I got the same result.
i have now windows 7 64 bit,and it doesn't recognise my phone.
if i install usb mass storage app on the phone,if i connect the usb cable the phone notifies me about mass storage toggle,but not the usual from the ROM,the one from the app.
if i enable the usb mass storage the device isn't recognised,if i disable it it is also not recognised.
i can connect through adb wifi,i will post the logcat here,maybe someone can help.
also,can i use a command in adb shell to relock the bootloader?
if i can do that i cand try to flash PG88IMG through hboot .
i noticed i can push files through adb,can i flash boot.img from a different rom then flash the rom vie recovery immediately after?like fastboot flash after flashing a rom in recovery.

[Q] Bricked...Sorta....

Hi there, long time reader, possibly posted before but I cant remember my account name so I suppose I am a newbie.
1) Unlocked boot loader fine
2) Installed TWRP fine
3) Rooted fine
4) Installed CM11 and Gaaps
5) Restored all my apps from Titanium
Yaaaay ready to rock or so I thought. Only to be faced with "mobile network not available" so my intention was to flash another CM11 or other CM if it was possible to get it actually working to make phone calls. In my attempts to do this I cleared everything, so no OS. I can get into the bootloader and recovery mode still but that
ADB thing refuses to work. So as of now my PC cannot see the device to copy the rom files onto it.
Am I right in thinking if I get a USB OTG and put a rom on it, I can flash it from there??
I would settle for any custom rom at this stage that functions and doesnt have bloatware.
Failing that, would it be allowed here to ask for an image of a working htc one mini m4 to be uploaded somewhere that I can work with?
I wont be able to do anything until i get the USB OTG. Ive tried everything with ADB.
Your help would be so much appreciated.
hi,..
So first I´m not quite sure if an otg will work but it´s really worth to try it...
But after a (maybee) sucsessful flashing of a ROM via OTG there is no way around to get adb and fastboot to work.
Next I have to say is you should post some information about your phone.
h-boot Version
OS version
CID-Number if you know.
Only with this information sombody here can help you to find the right ROM.zip for flash trough recovery.
(if the firmware and the ROM do not match you are running in to multiple issues)

Thanks. adb devices will sometimes show the serial number I think, adb push CMupdate.zip I get "cannot read cmupdate.zip"
Fastboot flash recoery recovery.img works.
I have ordered a USB OTG so hopefully by friday I will have it. Im not sure how to show you the firmware? I thought I listed everything needed?
No, its not your fault...
Normaly firmware ist listed in bootloader under OS-3.10.401.3 (for example).
But sometimes after a bad flash when the partitions are messed up or so OS dissapears from bootloader like we can see in your case.
I know from HTC ONE M_7 that there are also some releases of TWRP-recovery that make dissapear OS-Numer from bootloader
but I don´t know if this is similar to the HTC One Mini.
If you get a a serial nuber from adb in recovery mode.. adb should work.....
Do you know how to sideload a ROM via adb and have you allready tried it?

So,.....
It would be very interessting what firmware was on your device..
But as we can see the bootloader shows "OS- " so I suppose with h-boot 2.21.0000 it was 3.10.xxx.x.
I ran in same Problem a few weeks ago.
Recovery write: Can´t mount sd card and can´t mount data
I formated data in TWRP-recovery....(formated not only wipe...deletes everything on device).
As far as I remember after that adb returns to work and I sideloaded a new system.
I recommend you to flash first a stock or stock "near" system then and try to get s-off (to get rid of your problems)
But your first goal is to get a working OS on your device and get adb to work
A little help could be:
In fastboot mode :
"fastboot erase cache"
then reflash TWRP 2.7.1.1 with "fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img"
If this don´t work out the only way is USB-OTG cable.
greets
edit: honestly I think the CM11 thing is a story after getting device back to life...
an other question ....what do you get if you type in adb when device is in recovery mode: "adb devices"
If needed here you can find a working sense 5.5 rooted stock rom (should work with your frimware) to start with:

Yes side load does not work.
I have a serious headache now. I tried so many roms and none of them let me make or recieve calls. The 3g mobile data is working. Would this work if the IMEI was blocked?
I also tried to update the firmware and ran into problems error 155 and error 132. I am really close to giving up.

[Q] [Help] My HTC One S not booting on after rooting

Hi Everyone,
This is the first time I am playing with a mobile software.
I did the unlock bootloader as per the instructions given in htc website, and my phone status shows unlocked, but it is still S-ON.(Hboot 2.51)
I was planning to install a custom rom either CM11 or MIUI5.
After reading many threads in xda as well as in other sites, I tried to do a S-OFF to install a custom ROM.
I tried Rumrummer, Moonshine and firewater, but nothing has made my mobile as S-OFF.
I tried to restore back to the original stock rom, and followed the process in htconeforum(how-unbrick-restore-htc-one-s-stock-relocked)
So, I tried to do an oem lock and it got relocked.
Now, I tried to do an RUU, and it didn't work with data transfer error.
Only Hboot comes on my phone with the below details
***Tampered***
***Relocked***
My Phone doesn't start now; tried pushing lot of CWM and TRWM recoveries, it got stuck in sending recovery for long time, and i exit.
Can anyone please help me and let me know, how can i restore back to htc rom or go forward and install custom rom.
Thanks,
Deepak

Stuck in sending recovery/sending zip flash
Some how , I managed to push CWM recovery to my phone.
But when I select install from zip, it says "Error mounting SDCard".
I tried the fastboot oem lock using all in one tool kit and now it says Tampered, Relocked.
So, i am trying to run factory RUU exe , it stuck at sending recovery.
I tried to push the .zip factory RUU, and it says sending and stuck there.
Even I tried the adb sideload, it says data transfer failed.
Looks like all the data on the SD card(in my case internal storage) is gone during erase and I don't have any flash zips on the device and I am not able to send any flash zips to the device.
The drivers are installed correctly, and my HBoot 2.15 says fastboot usb when in bootloader, but when i type adb devices, it gives no device.
Can some one please help me in getting my phone back.
Thanks,
Deepak

I suggest you get the OTG USB cable. Load the ROM on a Flash USB and then use TWRP to install the ROM (Remember to mount the OTG in TWRP) Check Amazon, it only cost less than $3. I've never push the ROM to the phone. Saves a lot of time when you have multiple phones.

[Q] Unlocked, reflashed, app ran into problem phone restarted and bricked?

Hi there,
Im still kinda a noob with android...
but i managed to unlock my htc sensation trough the steps @HTC,
changed the recovery, tried to flash a rom.
it failed due to my phone not being S-off. so i flashed it back :/
no problem there i thought just a rooted htc.
downloaded an app to remove bloat. and all seemed fine...
I was playing Clash of Clans, and it gave a message that the Google play services stopped and the phone rebooted.
when booted the lock screen was frozen, i pulled out the battery to find out my phone is unresponsive..
When i connect to windows 8, it cant recognize my phone at all
When i connect it to a charger i dont see the charging light.
and the worse thing is.. i cant get into the recovery.
any idea's what i can try?
i checked out the [unbrick] tread but i cant seem to figure out which "Package" i need and the links on the bottom of the page dont work when i click them
Thanks in advance
-Aline
At first you have not to be S-OFF in order to flash a rom.
Your rom will get installed just fine.You just need to flash the kernel of your rom manually through fastboot using the command fastboot flash boot boot.img.
What exactly do you mean by telling "so i flashed it back"?
Did you relocked your bootloader with fastboot oem lock and you flashed an RUU?
You said you are just rooted.If my theory was right you probably unlocked your bootloader again by flashing the unlock.bin and a cwm recovery and then you had to use a (Superuser , SuperSU zip).
The first time you unlocked your device was you using the same computer with windows 8?
If yes this is a problem.Check your device manager for unrecognised devices.Can you see the device?
Check this out.You can also check this.
(You can try with win7 or a linux destribution instead.)
Are you still able to boot into bootloader (hboot) using (Power)+(Vol-) Buttons?
If you have enabled usb-debugging and a working adb shell despite you are in a bootloop you can try:
Code:
adb shell
su ------>(If you don't see # instead of $)
reboot oem-78 -------> To get in RUU mode
or
reboot bootloader -------->(To reboot into hboot)
* reboot recovery could bring you to recovery *
If you can get into hboot or RUU mode give the command fastboot getvar all and copy-paste what it prints.
I know it was possible to flash with S-on,
thats what i tried and it failed (manually flashed the boot.img resulted in a bootloop)
so i flashed back to the "stock" rom.
resulting in a "normal" rooted device
since i've replaced my recovery and got root access
it never has been oem locked again.(still isnt)
i cant get into my bootloader/ruu mode. nor start up.
when i plug it into my computer (windows 8) it makes the sound as it does when you connect a device.
but in device manager it shows nothing, not even a yellow ! as it normally would if it can recognize a device.

As you have not access to bootloader but your device is still seems to get connected i think you can only try HTC Unbricking Project.If the brickdetect.sh is not working you can try a different linux destribution.

[Q] htc one sv soft bricked :/

Hi everybody !
I think i'm in the right section to expose you my problem, and no one on this forum had been confronted to such fails ! but i'm new in this forum to write threads (altough i already read many of them)
i'll try to be quick :
a year ago i bought a htc one sv , i unlocked the bootloader and then i stopped because i was with windows 8 and it was boring with usb 3.0 (i can use windows 7 right now..!). then i got some problems with "android.phone", or android.process.media" stopped et i believed my phone dead, but i learned things, installed the TWRP recovery 2.7.0.1 and flashed therom stock odexed jelly bean which allowed me to get back to stock my phone! (the twrp was with the root (or the rom odexed...) so i became rooted! but when i updates the superuser app few months ago, i got problems of binaries so i didn't install the last supersu app update (2/3 weeks ago). unfortunately,2 weeks ago, my phone did a reboot in the night (which awoke me) but in a bootloop...
First i tried factory reset then clean storage du bootloader, but it did nothing.
at the beginning i could not acceed to the recovery, but, lucky i am, a boot in fastboot usb and now from the phone, i can go to my recovery twrp 2.7.0.1 -or 2.8.4.0 by boot fastboot usb) however, TWRP shows "no os installed"it s been 2 weeks that i'm searching, but without results... that's why i'm asking here to the best in android world ^^
the things that i already tried without results:
flash the same zip odexed from recovery and from fastboot usb
flash hboot, but i'm s-on
update recovery ( i only can boot by fastboot usb)
flash rom custom venom with the installer in the rom
find files for sdcard "pl80diag.zip et nbh et pl80img.zip et nbh"
but i'm S-on and can't be S-off, the process with moonshine stopp when the devices has to boot...
i also tried adb sideload and simple adb with the phone in recovery recovery but:
recovery is unable to mount internal storage partitions (unable to mount int-sd, etc............)
my phone shows "tampered" "unlocked" and "s-on" hboot "2.00.000".. ask for more...
from now on, when i boot the phne i don't have any more bootloop, i'm directly in the hboot..!
i tried extract rom.zip from RUU.exe of ICS but i didn't used it...
so i'm wondering if there is a way to unbrick this soft bricked devices 'casue i already tried all of the unbrick things for soft brick but the partitions being unable to mount killed all my tries... i hope i gave you many informations ! all the suggestions and ideas are welcome!
(i can't find nbh files..)
thanks for reading this busy text, i'm a bit bored of using a very old phone in remplacement if i can repair my lover htc..!
i trust you people i'll check and answer suggestions asap!
Well, you are S-on, there is not much you can do.
Flash twrp recovery 2.7.x or 2.8.x and try to flash a rom for your device model.
Don't forget to do a full wipe in twrp and to flash the boot.img of the rom you are using with fastboot.

it that i was thinking... i already try this (i have already twrp without booting in fastboot or flashing) but the fact is : twrp cannot mount any partitions so the step "writing" is impossible.. even the wipe fails..
If i remember right, in TWRP 2.8, under Wipe - Advanced there must be a button "Repair broken filesystem".
Not sure if this is working on SV, but it is worth a try i think.
What version of this phone do you own?

hey guys, it's been a while but i was searching during all this time. I've experienced some things with adb shell and what i saw :
my partitions are messed up, not annihilated, but messed up. 2 reasons : partitions can't be mounted in the last recovery of TWRP, and when i use Fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0 and the partition table of mmcblk0 and what I see is that my partitions table are not in disk order. My partitions are overlapping.. Perhaps it will help. I tried some ext2fd and mkfs.ext4 but it as not worked properly... maybe you have ideas... because it's been about months that my phone is useless and a paperweight.
by the way on my computer under windows 10, my phone used to be in qhsus_dload..! perhaps there are issues with that!
Thanks.

Well if you can extract the RUU from the .exe program then you can boot to your hboot then select fastboot from the screen. Plug device to your pc then enter:
Confirm pc reads phone and displays serial number before proceeding...
Code:
fastboot devices
Code:
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Code:
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
If terminal shows it has completed successfully then reboot:
Code:
fastboot reboot
If terminal shows it didn't complete successfully then do not reboot but try again:
Code:
fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
I went through this last weekend for my K2CL because I was converting my device to f2fs and messed up in the process.

OK well i'll use my computer under windows 7, but i know that when i extract the ruu from the .exe (using the folder temp, you know) the file can't be flash with recovery but i'll give a try with fastboot (fastboot devices always work) if this can work you'll be my heroe haha because i've tried so many things with the adb shell the recoveries, the flash with fastboot (which taught me some things about android) but nothing worked!

Yea, the RUU extracted is not made to be flashed in the custom recovery or any recovery for that matter. Must be flashed with the device in RUU mode as instructed in my last comment. If you are S-On then make sure you relock the bootloader first before doing it. If you are S-Off then it does not matter. It will fix your device. Like I said, I borked my partitions last weekend and the RUU fixed it right up for me with no problems. However, I used a decrypted RUU but the process is still the same.

On linux in general and decrypting the RUU is way more complicated and difficult than it sounds. An encrypted RUU will do you just fine.

What do you mean by putting the phone in "recovery"? You shouldn't be in your recovery when using fastboot. You should be in your bootloader. Power off device, then press and hold the volume down key and the power key. Release when you see your hboot appear. Using your volume keys to move up and down you want to highlight the option, fastboot. Hit the power button to select fastboot. You are now in fastboot mode. You will see fastboot in red text. Plug your device into your pc and you should now see, fastboot usb, in red text. Using the terminal on your pc proceed to lock your bootloader using fastboot. Then proceed with my instructions in the other post.

yeah of course i did it. Being in the recovery was just a try with a toolkit which is used to relock.
i know how fastboot works but i've got error messages with fastboot oem lock and by flashing the ruu the last thing after the signature checking fails because of my bootloader unlocked i guess.
