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.

I tried unlocking the bootloader in a normal fashion (via htcdev), following log is presented on the command prompt and no prompt on the phone's screen appeared.

Is there anything could be done with this phone as the screen on the phone is attached with this thread?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

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.

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.
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!

What do you mean the device is locked?
If the bootloader is locked you can not manually flash a factory image.
If the IMEI starts with 35 it is a verizon Pixel XL with a locked boot loader.
Go to this thread and try to unlock the bootloader.
If you are successful.
Download this Fastory image: 10.0.0 (QP1A.191005.007.A3, Dec 2019) from Prerequisites b.
in the guide below.
Download the latest SDK platform-tools r29.0.5 from Prerequisites c. in the guide below.
Use this guide to update to android 10 (Q). Do #4 'wipe data' then do #9 if you want to root.
