[Q] Identifying my problems with 2nd hand device - HTC One Mini

What's up forum,
so I just got a second hand HTC One Mini and it came with Sense 5.5. I tried to update, but it failed in the middle of the process after reboot with a red exclamation mark and an error saying that some HtcVoiceRecorder.apk is missing and it cannot update. So my device is stuck here. I guess that the person who had it before me tried to put it in stock, but did something wrong. Some info from bootloader:
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000
RADIO-1.24.40e.00.26
OpenDSP-v19.2.0268.0927
OS-3.10.206.6
eMMC-boot 1024MB
Mar 12 2014, 19:28:44.0
I guess that "RL" in the first line means that this phone was "ReLocked" in the past as my personal untouched M8 doesn't have RL in that same line. What are my possibilities to make the phone install OTAs? I already found out that I probably can't get S-OFF, so I'm lost.
Thanks in advance!

i have this:
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-on RL

This is an error with Revolutionary but if you just keep doing it it eventually works - bit annoying tho

Lost of volume up key and no GPS fix after rooting

I'll try to keep it short but with the necesary info:
I bought a S-on ATT HTC on ebay last week
it had:
ACE PVT SHIP S-ON RL
Hboot-0.85.0024
MICROP-0438
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot
Apr 12 2011, 00:55:45
android 2.3.3 build 2.47.502.7 CL93396
I applied this since the conditions met.
After the process I lost the volume up key, it was working right before the procedure and after the root, not (very unlikely that it would have mechancally died in that time).
The Hboot says now:
ACE PVT ENG S-OFF RL
HBOOT-0.85.2425
RADIO-26.10.04.03_M
eMMC-boot

The rom is the same as before
Here says that could be related to the Hboot, thought is not the exactly the same problem.
I'd like to know if that could be the reason and what Hboot should i use to fix it?
About the GPS, it doesn't fix the position, while it used to lock with agps almost instantly.
I tried this: but it says the it can be written cause the device has no space left
I read too that maybe updating the radio it could be fixed, but it was also said that it's "dangerous" and should be done only when needed.
also read that formatting the EFS partition could fix it, but since I also read that there is where is the mac and imei stored, dont want to mess with it.
Anyone have any ideas how could I fix these issues?

Help please!!

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site and I really need help. This is the first time I've tried to S-OFF and root my phone so I'm kind of a noob.
Yesterday I unlocked my HTC Sensation using HTCDev.com
Everything went great I unlocked it and the phone was fine, So today I tried to S-OFF my phone and root it using JuopunutBear method and when I got to the wire trick part I tried SEVERAL times but every time it fails and it says
[s-off failed
errorcode: 66732337
errormsg: Still sober]
And now every time I open my phone it goes to JuopunutBear screen and it stays on it till... EVER!
And when I go to the Bootloader screen and try to factory reset my phone it goes to the HTC screen for 3 seconds or so and it goes back to the bootloader screen.
The Bootloader screen says:
****UNLOCKED****
PYRAMID PVT SHIP S-ON RL

RADIO-11.24A.3504.31_M

Restore functionality of my phone

Hi guys, I need some help. Well the thing is that I want to go back 100% stock, but I can't do it (because I'm a the biggest noob on earth and I don't have much experience with HTC devices) I'm currently on stock ROM, I don't care about having root functionalities anymore (I just wanted to SIM unlock my device with a method somewhere on the forums, that's all), the phone keeps restarting by itself and there's nothing I can do about it (it will boot as it should but after a few seconds restarts itself), and I have to wait until the battery dies, or when go into bootloader (or whatever the thing is) then go into FASTBOOT and selecting POWER DOWN. I just want my phone working again. I have the T-Mobile US variant.
