thanks for the quick support.

exaclty i get into cwm and into bootloader but cant get past these two.

i tried to make one at the beginning but i said not enough storage which was not possible becauce i had more then 6 gig of space. so that failed and i dont have a backup of a stock rom.

i let magio do the wipe.
[HTC One Mini] dizzyman1180:
OK the easiest option will require 2 things: an OTG cable and a USB drive. Put a ROM zip you want to flash, on the USB drive. You plug in the USB drive into the cable and then plug it into the phone. You can now use this as an external drive to flash the ROM in recovery
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
To me this looks as if you got a new partition layout, too. See my thread over here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2708997) for details. I'm also on HBOOT 2.22.

First you should verify what partition layout you have.

So you could fastboot-flash this TWRP 2.7.0.5 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51612358), boot into recovery and do a

adb shell cat /proc/emmc

to show the partitions. Then please paste the output here or compare it to the output listed over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51181357

[HTC One Mini] maetty1:
sadly that didn't work :(
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
edit:

No, the output matches to the 4.4 emmc info (with new partitions mmcblk0p36 and mmcblk0p37).

------

So as you can see it is the "new" partition layout with mmcblk0p35 as system, mmcblk0p36 cache and mmcblk0p37 as data.

First of all you should stay on this special TWRP 2.7.0.5 until new versions will be released which regard this new partition layout (at least I hope they will).

If you want to flash a custom ROM, you have to modify the install script first since curently all of them expect the "old" partition layout.

For this purpose you have to extract the zip file and edit the file META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

Just find every line that is referring to a partition (i.e., containing mmcblk0p33 or something like that, just use a text editor and search for "mmcblk").

For example, you could find this line:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p33", "/system");

You have to change it to

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p35", "/system");

since according to your new partition layout /system is now at mmcblk0p35.

So I hope you'll get an idea. If you're done editing the script wrap everything back to a zip file.

Since you're apparently working on a Mac, be aware of all those crappy dotfiles (e.g. .DS_Store) Mac OS X is creating. Remove them before you do the zipping. To get rid of them open the terminal at the location where you extracted the zip and run this command:

find . -iname ".DS_*" -exec rm {} \;

Then, from the same location in Terminal, run:

zip -r ../my-modified-rom.zip *

After this you'll find the new zip file next to the folder where you extracted the initial zip.

Boot into recovery. I recommend formatting /data unless you still have some important files on it (then you better use adb pull to move them to your computer first). Put your modified zip to the device (adb push my-modified-rom.zip /sdcard/) and flash it normally.

Reboot to bootloader and fastboot-flash the boot.img from within your zip file.

Reboot to system, you're done.
[HTC One Mini] maetty1:
thanks for the guide but it didnt work all the way,

now im stuck at the flashing, it tells me "md5 file not found" and cancels the whole flashing

any ideas?
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
You should check the Settings Menu in TWRP. There is an option "zip file signature verification" which should left unchecked. But it's off by default so I don't think that's the point. Just be sure that all of the settings are unchecked.

But as far as I remember TWRP shows this "md5 file not found" message anyways. Isn't necessarily an error.

You should repeat the flashing and have a look at the recovery log right after it. It's located at /tmp/recovery.log.

Either do a

adb shell cat /tmp/recovery.log

or pull it to your computer:

adb pull /tmp/recovery.log
[HTC One Mini] maetty1:
my terminal tells me that there is no such directory
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
That is quite unusual. Maybe you should try running

adb shell

on your mac terminal first. And then on the shell do the

cat /tmp/recovery.log

If this doesn't help you should check the log TWRP is providing in the background. You can switch to the log view by tapping the lower middle button. Are there any error messages right when TWRP has started? Are there any errors after trying to flash the zip?

You could also try a

ls -ls

on the adb shell and post it here. Just to be sure that you're in the right directory.

Hm, so probably something wrong with the zip file. Did you zip it as I suggested?

It is important that the boot.img, sytem and META-INF are right at the top level of the zip file. There shouldn't be a toplevel folder or something like that.
[HTC One Mini] maetty1:
when i open the zip the following show up: boot.img, check-data-app, data, META-INF, system
[HTC One Mini] maetty1:
i think the problem is in the editing the updater-script

im not sure if im doing it right

right now im just replacing 4 numbers all with a 5

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p33“, "/system");

becomes

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/

mmcblk0p35“

, "/system");

is there any way i can just go back to my stock rom without a nandroid backup? or get the phone somehow to work?
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
Looks good so far. What ROM do you want to flash? Maybe I can have a look at the updater script (but not until tomorrow night).

Currently I don't know any.

But I can upload my nandroid backup. It's from a German stock 4.4.2 (3.10.111.4). You should be able to flash it with TWRP. I already did this. Again this won't happen until tomorrow night (have to get some sleep now ;)).

Meanwhile you could try flashing CM11. There is an edited updater-script and boot.img over here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51613028

I used it with cm-11-20140403-NIGHTLY-m4 successfully. Maybe the edited script works with newer versions of the CM nightlies as well, but I didn't test that yet.
[HTC One Mini] maetty1:
ill go to bed as well, right now i dont care which rom is on my phone as long as i can use it again

btw are you german? :D it would make writing a little easier and understanding even more
[HTC One Mini] maetty1:
it would be awesome if i could get an nandroid backup.

is it that easy to just put that in my phone and back it up?

i have the t-mobile version btw and i think since you have the 3.10.111.4 you do too
[HTC One Mini] morschesholz:
Here you can download my nandroid backup: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...oid_20140403_151658_Stock_3.10.111.4_TMOB.zip

As I already said it is a 3.10.111.4 (Android 4.4.2) from a German T-Mobile device.

Just unzip and push each of the files to a folder in the TWRP backup directory on your sdcard (via adb push):

adb push file.xxx /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/__here_goes_the_device_name__/back-to-stock/

Then boot to recovery (remember: you need the modified TWRP 2.7.0.5 for that) and restore the backup. Since you're S-ON restoring boot has no effect. Just restore system and wipe /data and /cache. Then immediately boot to bootloader and fastboot-flash the boot.emmc.win

Then reboot the device normally and you should be back on Stock Android 4.4.2.

So what?

Obviously you have the new partition layout. So get a modified TWRP 2.7.0.5 to your phone and flash one of the modified ROMs which respect the new partition layout.

Just read the threads I showed you in the your other thread next to this and you should already know what to do.

A few posts up you can find a nandroid backup which is safe to restore.

Here's a modified CM11 nightly: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51779324

And here you have modified versions of the Stock 4.4.2 ROMs (software version 3.10.401.4): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51779967

If you want to flash a different ROM you will have to modify the update.zip yourself. This thread will give you an idea of how to that: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2677919

Right now, I need to flash the hboot via adb shell because the usb isn't recognized in fastboot. I tried to go back to stock for an eventual send-in but as soon as the old hboot was flashed, fastboot stopped working with W8.1.

So, I need to flash a new(er) hboot using dd, and then I might be able to flash the whole firmware zip from rebootRUU. I googled a bit and it seems the command is this:

dd if=/sdcard/LOCATIONOFHBOOT/HBOOT.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12

Where location is the location and HBOOT.img is the name of the hboot file. Will this work?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NxNW:
Yes, this can work.

As you discovered.

But if I had to rank the the ways of flashing an HBOOT (RUU/OTA , manual flash in fastboot , or using the raw dd command) I would say dd is by far the riskiest.

Glad this worked for you.

Sometimes you have no other choice.

Just be aware that some noob might read this and feel emboldened to try to write something directly to his HBOOT partition. Anything less than 100% perfect combination of choosing what to write *and* actual success in writing will turn the phone into a brick.
