[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
It's Tampered and Unlocked. I totally formatted everything, put CWM and using stock software.. It's the Sense 5.5 with Android 4.4.2. ClockworkMod Recovery Touch 6.0.3.6
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
I'm only going to use TWRP 2.7.1.1 because that's one that i know will work, so i recommend you flash that.

Is your device bootable into OS right now?
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Yeah, I tried editing but it doesn't let me because I'm a new member..

I'm gonna install TWRP whenever my phone charges, in about 20-30 minutes, I've already downloaded the TWRP image. And yes, I can boot to the OS, everything works perfectly. I still get the message for the new update

Edit:

I've installed TWRP and downloaded a superuser.zip from another source... it seems to have worked now.. gonna try installing revone now ^^ wish me luck! If I succeed, I'll have unlocked S-OFF and this brings me closer to OTA updates ;3
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
Yep, i get that when not rooted.

Flash twrp 2.7.1.1.

Enter TWRP

From inside TWRP, Press Reboot

Select System

You'll get a screen that says "Install SuperSU?"

Swipe on that screen to install

TWRP will install SuperSU and automatically reboot into your system

Once in OS

Go to App tray

Find SuperSU Installer and open it

You'll get a message saying that SuperSU is not yet fully installed...

There will be two options at the bottom, Play and TWRP. Select TWRP.

You'll see an installed screen then option to continue or cancel, press continue

Phone will reboot into recovery

recovery will automatically finish install of SuperSU

Once finished, it will automatically reboot into System.

Once rebooted

Enter adb shell

Type "su" and press enter

After you press enter, you'll get a prompt on your phone to Grant SuperUser access to adb. Grant that!

Now your adb shell prompt should change from $ to #

Now redo all of the revone steps and you should be good to go

No, I don't think you will get OTA, but you'll be able to flash sense 6 firmware and stock ROMs from the dev section.

The only way I've gotten OTAs to work once I've unlocked bootloader was to factory restore using the RUU.exe. I think i said that in one of my first posts.
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Thanks for the tip for revone.. I was just thinking why it wasn't working xDD I also tried rumrunner again and it didn't work.. hmm.. I hope it's gonna work now with revone, I've done the steps you mentioned :)

Also.. I saw that I can use OTAs when I revert back to stock firmware and re-lock my phone.. do you have any idea if this is true or not?

Anyways, gonna try revone now and post the results when I can post again. Thanks!

Edit:

I got a message that the Superuser su binary was out of date.. I clicked on it to update via TWRP but it got me to the recovery screen and then did nothing.. any tips?

And I can't get revone to work.. error code = 1, can't find anything about it.. there is tons of info about -1, but not 1... ;/
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
Since you are s-on, and have never been s-off, you are already on stock firmware. The only way that you can change to non-stock firmware is by being s-off first. S-On is basically Firmware Security On. S-Off is Firmware Security Off. It's a protection against people bricking their devices by flashing incompatible firmware.

So, getting s-off will not get your firmware any closer to stock than it is right now. It will only allow you to update to a more recent version of the stock firmware.

I haven't done too much testing on when OTA fails because they are so slow to test, but i don't THINK that OTA will work after you unlock your bootloader. Have you tried running the OTA with your bootloader "re-locked"?
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Yeah, I've tried running the OTA a few hours ago, when I re-locked my bootloader and installed the stock recovery that iourikil posted... Still failed ;/

And I'm trying to set it to S-OFF so I can at least flash the stock Sense 6 ROM available HERE
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
reboot into os, open SuperSU app and see if it gives you the message about updating again. I think you get error 1 when you don't have root and are trying to revone from withing recovery.
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
When I opened SuperSU again it said there are other apps in conflict and this may cause trouble. It asked if I wanted to let it uninstall them so I clicked OK and it removed the Superuser app.. All good for now..

I started my command prompt again, got into adb shell, my phone displayed that it has granted superuser permissions to the command prompt but I still get the same error code = 1.. ;/
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
I've never been on 2.21, but I read that revone doesn't work for some people on it. Something I read made me think that there was a later release of version 2.21 where revone stopped working.

Now that you are rooted, see if rum runner will work. Make sure to follow the instructions regarding disabling anti-virus and firewall and having HTC sync completely uninstalled.
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Yeah, thanks for the info!

There's a big mistake I made because I raged.. I installed SlimRom without making a backup and now I'm left with nothing but SlimRom.. I hope I can get a nandroid backup or something .. we'll see. Can you suggest something? Or something efficient? Sorry, I just totally ruined everything -_-
[HTC One Mini] apjashley:
OTA works fine on re-locked.

There's a thread here with a nandroid backup of the stock Europe ROM. Restore that with TWRP, then install stock recovery and re-lock. You'll get three OTA updates in a row and will be back on the latest stock ROM.
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Whoah, that's awesome news!! Thanks for the info ;3 I'll try that soon enough ^^

Edit:

I just read that revone works with 4.2.2 ROMs only.. so if I need to set S-OFF I need a 4.2.2 ROM.. would that be needed when I download the nandroid backup from here or it'll work out by itself just by re-locking the bootloader ?
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
So... I've disabled my anti-virus, firewall and whatnot... tried rumrunner, it rebooted my device 3-4 times, one time it had a red text saying it was for developers only or something like that.. at the end rumrunner displayed the message that it wasn't compatible with my ROM and it failed.. so I rebooted into bootloader and what do I see - S-OFF :victory: finally!

Thanks to everyone for the help. I'll be installing the Sense 6 OTA pretty soon ;3

Edit:

I'm thinking of installing this stock ROM. Do you think it'll work best? And I'll have OTA updates, etc... Gonna update HBOOT to 2.22 as well
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
I have used this sense 6 stock Rom and firmware.

http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-mini/development/rom-official-stock-sense-6-rom-firmware-t2817921
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Thanks for that! I saw someone else post a Stock Sense 6 ROM with the missing apps.. but I have an issue right now.. I can't use fastboot, any help.. I think it's from the hboot I installed.. this one. I need a stock hboot.img to flash back ;/ also I'm using a stock Sense 5.5 Android 4.3 ROM atm.. the one in my previous post.. The only issue I have is that after the update to HBOOT 2.22 I can't use fastboot so I'm kinda stuck ;/
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
Ummm...that's not a full firmware file. That's only a modded hboot that just removes the red developer text, tampered flag and modifies a few other things on the hboot screen (changes your os, changes s-off to show s-on, except you're still really s-off). I'm not sure if that file actually changes anything relating to the firmware or hboot. I know it says you're now on hboot 2.22, but I think what you flashed just shows 2.22 when you're actually still on 2.21.

You should have flashed a full firmware,like the sense6 one i linked you to, then flashed this to remove the red dev text and the other stuff I mentioned above.

I'm not sure if that's what's causing your fastboot issue, but I would definitely not flash anything else until I got fastboot working again. Maybe one of the developers can help you, but I have no idea what you should do from this point. Does adb still work? If probably focus on my computer first, making sure that the fastboot driver didn't just stop working. When you're in fastboot does device manager show your device?
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
The Device Manager shows 'My HTC' as a device when on fastboot but Windows doesn't recognize it and I can't use fastboot.. the only way to fix it is to install the stock hboot which I guess is 2.21 since the thing I installed isn't 2.22 ;/ But I can't find a stock hboot.img except the ones from the firmware you gave me.. if I install that hboot, will it be ok? And after that flash the whole firmware?

Also.. I'm gonna install a stock 4.4.2 ROM and see how it goes..

Edit:

The 4.4.2 ROM is perfectly fine for the moment. I'm gonna install the hboot from the Sense 6 firmware, then flash the whole firmware. Then install stock recovery and hope for the best. Wish me luck! ^^

Edit 2:

HBOOT updated successfully, fastboot works, HBOOT is 2.22. Not gonna install the one that shows S-ON and the other stuff for now.. gonna flash the recovery and hope for the best :)

Edit 3:

Installed the HBOOT that shows false info and now gonna download the OTA update via the phone.. hoping everything will work. I've relocked my phone

Edit 4:

Well, the OTA update doesn't work.. gonna flash the OTA from the forums :)

Edit 5:

looks like the HBOOT that shows false info is messing up everything, not gonna bother with it again..

Edit 6:

I guess that's it.. My bootloader is locked, the recovery is stock, I can't use fastboot.. check mate for me. Can't use root commands from adb shell.. gg wp
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
If you can get adb to work, since you got s-off, you can now use revone to unlock the bootloader, but i don't guess that will help you much if you can't get fastboot to work. How did you get it working in between your first and second edit?
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
I hadn't yet installed the stock recovery, hadn't locked and hadn't installed the faulty HBOOT ;/

Yeah, I can get adb to work, but if revone can unlock my bootloader, I think I can get some root privileges on the adb shell.. hmm.. will try later, thanks!
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
haha. yeah, if you're booting and your phone works, take a break for a while
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Yeah, it's booting and works perfectly.. Android 4.4.2 and Sense 5.5.. I don't wanna do anything for a while, just installed Poweramp and that's it.. not gonna do anything for a while. Thanks for the support again ^^
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
By the way, I can't use revone because it asks for root permissions, else I can't do anything with it.. so I'm stuck with 4.4.2 Sense 5.5 at the moment with no way out :D
[HTC One Mini] nicniewid:
just read it: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one-mini/help/ota-t2831640
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
I don't think you understood.. I can't use fastboot, I don't have root access and I have stock recovery.. I can't execute any other command than adb which doesn't do anything for me.. I can't flash hboot, boot, recovery or anything else.. I'm completely stuck, can't install ROMs..

If I put this where the OTA updates usually go and reboot to recovery, do you think it'll install it? And then, how can I return to a better HBOOT.. I'm with 2.22 but it's this one installed on top of the Sense 6 one because of stupid reasons.. it doesn't let me use the fastboot command or flash anything (yeah, same command).. so do you think it'll work the way I planned it?
[HTC One Mini] apjashley:
The fastboot not working sounds like a driver issue which would be very easy to fix from device manager while the phone is connected in fastboot mode. Open up device manager, right click on the phone, choose update driver and whichever option lets you choose the driver from a list. Choose the same driver that works for adb and ignore any warnings that say it's not compatible.
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Well, I go to Device Manager where it says 'My HTC' as the unknown device. When I tell it to automatically update the driver it says it's already up to date and when I choose to browse my computer and then 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer' I get only 'My HTC' and 'HTC Android Interface'.. Neither of them works -_- no fastboot
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
If it's showing as an Unknown Device, then it's almost certainly a driver issue.
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
It's not showing 'Unknown Device' .. it shows 'My HTC' -_- I doubt it's a driver issue.. it's from the HBOOT mod ;/
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
I've flashed that mod a bunch and never had problems.

I do constantly have problems with Windows not using the correct driver for fastboot or adb. In your post, you said it listed my HTC under unknown device. It should be listed under android usb devices. That's why I thought Windows was using the wrong driver.
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Ah, you didn't understand or I didn't write it correctly.. I said:

.. so.. 'My HTC' as the unknown device :D
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
You're right. I don't understand. Why do you say unknown device of it's not under the unknown devices category?
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
I said it's the unknown device.. Windows pops an error where it shows it can't recognize the device.. but it's not under 'Unknown Devices'.. And no one can help about that problem.. ;/
[HTC One Mini] Peshyy:
Sorry for the bump, but I have to post this update :D

So I've finally decided to dual-boot on this PC again and I installed Linux. Installed adb and fastboot tools and guess what.. fastboot recognizes the phone ^__^ I'm so happy right now. Will try rooting and getting all of my stuff again :3

And thanks again for everyone's support on this thread!

Edit:

Yep, everything's fixed.. gonna re-root it for the 100th time now :D And install the Sense 6 and stuff :3
[HTC One Mini] jollywhitefoot:
Thanks for the update. Glad to hear you got it working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ezsoulja:
Just curious and I'm still debating whether I wanna stay for the note 4 or jump into the iPhone 6.. My main issue is how fast a jailbreak comes and being able to tether my account like I do now with the note 3.. And tether I mean use my regular lte data vs my hotspot data..

Would be nice for expandable memory but I think i can live with on-board memory... Maybe??

What are yall thoughts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sirobelec:
Here's the rundown.

Probably both gonna have 64-bit processors, with the coming of L, the Note 4 with the Exynos is going to be a monstrosity. Now, it's another story that 'Murica is gonna get the weaker Snapdragon version with no 64 bit support, the SD810 is scheduled for early 2015 at best... :D

Both gonna have some metal, the iPhone will be unibody, the Nope is gonna have just a metal frame.

However... The Nope usually has better battery life than any iPhone, and also the battery is user replaceable. Also, as you mentioned, the microSD slot.

Also... that enormous 5.7 inch display. :D The bigger 5.5 inch iPhone probably won't be launched until December, if rumors are to be believed.

So... it's your call.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ezsoulja:
Oh believe me I know the note 4 is gonna be a monster and I love every aspect.. Just considering something besides another Samsung device this go around just because the hype is pushing behind this iPhone.. Just intrested in seeing the unveiling of it but I'm more likely gonna stick it out with the note 4 just because it's the top phone year to year

I don't think you will find much support here for the upcoming iPhone. Seeing as XDA is an android community.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aryanparker:
Hi. I bought a Lenovo Ideatab A 1000 today. I created a hotspot of my college proxy network using my laptop, and connected the tab to it. I can browse the internet on the tab without any issue, but when I try to open play store or any other google service, it asks me for my login details, and when i enter those and click next it displays - "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server ". Also i cannot open any https site from the browser (gmail etc ). But to my amaze, when I created a hotspot using my cellular data from my phone ( not a proxy network) , the play store issue gets fixed as long as I'm on that hotspot.

I googled a lot about this issue, and mostly it is mentioned to root the device and edit the hosts file. But I dont want to root my device on the first day itself. Please suggest some fix to get over this error. Thanks

P.S. my friends can access play store using the college proxy network on their android phones

Make a backup of your existing NV:

su -c dd if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/nv of=/storage/external_SD/nv_bkup.img

Now pull nv_bkup.img from your devices external sdcard to your PC with whatever method you prefer.

With a hex editor, I use wxHexEditor, seek to offset 00004800 and change '00' to '11' and then go one more byte to offset 00004801 and change '00' to '01' and save.

Now use fastboot to flash the nv_bkup.img to your NV partition:

fastboot flash nv nv_bkup.img

Enter the code from the link you just posted in to a command window:

adb -d logcat > boot_log.txt

Now reboot phone. Pressing and holding Power for 10 seconds will reboot the phone as well as "fastboot reboot".

[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] shinobisoft:
I'm sorry. I musta had a serious brain fart. I was thinking about the L90 not the L9. You need to search for fastboot in the L9 forums. There are two fastboot packages floating around for the L9.

You can also copy the edited nv image back to your external sdcard and then write the partition with

su -c dd if=/storage/external_SD/bkup_nv.img of=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.1/by-name/nv

I highly suggest getting fastboot working for the device before attempting this.
