Brick phone

I have S-off, Unlocked bootloader. But it cant run TWRP custom recovery. I can flash it easily but it just not starting and i go back to fastboot. What shall I do?

I am also trying to get back to stock rom but the phone doesn`t read the zip file from my Sd card.

When rebooting it always starts in Ramdump mode.

Can you plz help me?

You need to remove that IMEI unless its fake.

Can I know which device is this, Europe, Asia or American ?

Are you facing any errors when flashing TWRP ?

How are you flashing Stock ROM ?, You can't flash stock ROM with TWRP, you will need to use Nandroid backup with TWRP. For stock ROM you will need to flash stock recovery.

Can you connect to PC in fastboot ?
[HTC One Mini 2] Ledobr:
Thank you for your anwser.

I guess i have european phone, but I`m not sure.

I can flash TWRP without errors but when I try to start recovery from Hboot it flashes back to Hboot.

Fastboot on PC is worknig fine.

I`m trying to do

fastboot boot recovery.img

but it says that remote dtb not found

Yes, to return to stock rom I am flashing stock recovery first, it works but when i insert SD card with 0P8BIMG.zip nothing happens.

How can i remove IMEI?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
What I meant was to remove your device IMEI from your original post and replace them with zeros.

What version of TWRP have you flashed ?, flash this version : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934533581 for European device this works fine. the right way to flash TWRP is

fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot erase cache

Nothing happens because you are on S-On and the file you are flashing is most likely a lower version than your currently installed version, so in this case you need to flash the provided TWRP version and then restore this Nandroid

The process to restore form Nandroid can be found here
[HTC One Mini 2] Ledobr:
Thank you. I changed IMEI.

I flashed this recovery now. It flashed fine. But still I can`t launch it. Maybe that`s because I installed different firmware?

My phone says I have s-off on it.
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
If its S-Off then you shouldn't be having any issues flashing any version.

I believe you are SuperCID as well, I'm guessing you have a network-unlocked device ?, you need to know your actual device OS to flash the right one onto it.
[HTC One Mini 2] Ledobr:
I flashed this recovery now. It flashed fine. But still I can`t launch it. You may be right about netwok-unlock. I don`t remember.

I wiped all data / did factory reset so I dont know if I have any OS now. But the phone says that OS - 2.19.401.1

I guess i have a SuperCID. What shall i do now?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Which recovery have you flashed, Stock Recovery or TWRP ?

If you have flashed TWRP and are able to enter TWRP then you can download the Nandroid from here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347818782 and follow the steps below to restore through TWRP.

STEPS TO RESTORE NANDROID BACKUP THROUGH TWRP:

- REBOOT AND ENTER TWRP, PERFORM A BACKUP (THIS WILL CREATE A TWRP BACK UP FOLDER WITH DEVICE SERIAL NUMBER IN THE SD CARD)

- DOWNLOAD AND EXTRACT THE CONTENTS OF NANDROID BACK UP FILE IN A PC

- PLACE THE EXTRACTED FILES IN TO THE TWRP>BACKUP<DEVICE SERIAL NUMBER> FOLDER IN THE SD CARD

- RESTART THE DEVICE AND ENTER TWRP, CHOOSE RESTORE

- LOCATE THE FOLDER COPIED IN THE ROOT OF THE SDCARD

- SWIPE TO RESTORE

- FOR SOME REASON THE NANDROID BACKUP DOES NOT CONTAIN CALCULATOR, FLASH LIGHT WHICH CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/
[HTC One Mini 2] Ledobr:
That`s what I am trying to say. I flashed TWRP recovery. The one you provided. But I cant enter it. It is not launching and i return to Hboot screen. I installed it with no problems.
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
The proper way to flash TWRP is :

fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache

If it still doesn't work, I would recommend to go about it this way :

1 - Flash boot file

2 - Flash Stock Recovery

3 - Flash stock ROM (since you have S-Off you should be able to flash any stock ROM)

All this has to be done through PC and make sure the device is fully charged before starting and remember to use fastboot erase cache after each flashing.
[HTC One Mini 2] Ledobr:
Ok. thank you very much. I`ll try in a couple of days and then I`ll write here. Thank you
[HTC One Mini 2] Ledobr:
I flashed boot file and recovery with no problems and used fastboot erase cache everytime. Stock recovery launches. I relocked the phone. I have 100% percent battery. But i can not instal the stock Rom file. I use my SD card. I connect it to computer, copy file 0P8BIMG.zip but my recovery doesn`t see any SD card and Hboot doesn`t update itself.

Maybe it is because I installed other

firmware

file?

What file system should Sd card have? (fat or ntfs?)

Can you plz tell me how i can install this rom?)
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
The SD card should be formatted as either Fat, Fat32 or exFAT.

The firmware file should be placed in the root of the SD Card, the flashing should start automatically once you enter bootloader.

You need to keep your eye on any error that shows up, it will be too small to read a text, so you might have to try more than once to flash it to read the error.

What other firmware have you installed ?
[HTC One Mini 2] Ledobr:
I tryed the original one from other thread and the firmware to disable the red text. But it must be the file system. I`m trying to do fat32

When the phone restarts I get an error

KP: subsys-restart: modem

crased. htcpid.c:531: Not

supported PID
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
I'm unable to find the problem with your device, your device is S-Off and yet you are not able to install any stock ROM on it, you are not able to run TWRP either.

There could be a error in the emmc partition (IO error) as far as my understanding goes which is not uncommon, an IO error is a hardware error and is not repairable, meaning you will have to replace the NAND memory which is not possible for this device as its not available as a replaceable part which means the board needs be replaced.

Another possibility is that some flashing has gone corrupt and but I am not able to trace it, all possibilities have been tried.

You might want to try a lower version of TWRP as your original device might or might not be European.

And by red text you mean you have flashed the HBoot that removes the red text ?

Which red text are you referring to, the one that says This environment is for development purposes or the red text in the HBoot itself ?
[HTC One Mini 2] Ledobr:
Yes I mean the red text for development enviroment. but i returned it back and somethings like system.img or splash can be corrupted on my phone. Do you have a link for good stock firmware please?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Stock firmware will of no use since you don't know where is your device originally from ?

You will need an RUU (preferably exe but zip will be fine as well) for this, in most cases it should solve your issue but you need to know where your original device is from to get the right RUU since your device is SuperCID, I have not come across any European device RUU neither in exe nor in zip.

What is the storage size of your SD Card ?

You might want to try all your process with an SD Card of NOT more than 16GB, I have come across issues where SD Card was the problem.
[HTC One Mini 2] Ledobr:
I have 8 gb SD card.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

I have an error

KP: subsys-restart: modem

crased. htcpid.c:531: Not

supported PID

is it due to firmware?

Where can i find all firmware for this phone? I`m sure it was working before i changed it.

What other RUU should I try? You linked them. It is Gsm. not Orange or O2
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Since you have S-Off you can try any fimrware however I doubt it will work with that error as the error relates to android system and not necessarily hardware. I was unable to find any reference to that error but Sony devices have that same error and in most cases flashing did not solve the issue, no solution was found.

You can try this, its the last available version for your baseband : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555506

Your baseband has more than one firmware available you might want to try them as well.

[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
FIRST REMOVE YOUR IMEI AND SERIAL NUMBER FROM YOUR POST.

Second, you will need to SuperCID your device to remove carriers firmware and put any other, this requires your device to be S-Off which it isn't.

SuperCID modifications steps can found here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2317536 and http://sakitechonline.com/how-to-change-the-cid-number-of-your-htc-one-to-supercid-m8-or-m7/

I am on an unlocked device so I haven't tried it myself.
[HTC One Mini 2] zak809:
Thanks

all done
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Appreciatively, please do provide your steps and outcome for others to follow in the future.
[HTC One Mini 2] zak809:
Heres what i did.

Its not possible to change CID without being S-OFFed.

I followed the guide at http://highonandroid.com/android-howtos/how-to-get-s-off-htc-smartphones-using-firewater/2/ but Firewater simply dose not work with HTC ONE MINI 2.

Heres what happen

C:\adb>adb wait-for-device push firewater /data/local/tmp

1605 KB/s (4519496 bytes in 2.749s)

C:\adb>adb shell

shell@htc_memul:/ $ su

su

root@htc_memul:/ # chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater

chmod 755 /data/local/tmp/firewater

root@htc_memul:/ # /data/local/tmp/firewater

/data/local/tmp/firewater

root@htc_memul:/ #

As you can see the firewater file simple dose not do anything.

So i used Sunshine to S-Off my device. I had to pay $25. It was relatively easy. I had to relock my bootloader for sunshine to work.

Once i had S-OFFed my device i then changed my CID to supercid by doing the following:

Enter the command "fastboot oem readcid". Make a note of your original CID.

enter the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111"

enter the command "fastboot read cid" [it should confirm your CID is 11111111]

USB debugging must be ticked in developer options.

Once the CID had been changed i flashed the european RUU provided at the beginning of this thread via my SD card.

As TryllZ said you cannot flash stock RUU if your device is S-ON either via the micro-sd card or ADB. I read somewhere that when you flash signed RUU then it checks the CID and if the CID dose not match the flashing will fail.

Thanks for your help TryllZ and the XDA forum

Man I think I have installed firmware from this thread http://xdaforums.com/one-mini-2/general/stock-ruu-rom-recovry-htc-one-mini-2-t3250020 . And I guess it is for UK phone. as far as i know the radio also included in firmware. So I may have made a misstake and installed different version. Where can i find other firmwares for this phone?

I have done all good but when I reboot the phone with the zip file in Sd card nothing happens. It just loads the bootloader and that`s it. My stock android was working untill i did a total erase of everything. and now I can`t install the stock version.

[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
EDIT THE IMAGE AND HIDE YOUR SERIAL AND IMEI

You need to be S-Off to be able to do that, its called SuperCID, its risky to do it when S-On, you might end up with a bricked device.

For now the only S-Off method is of Sunsine for $25..

Hi, i know this is a really old post but i'm kind of stuck.

My Phone is bugged and i need the France Orange Rom to fix it but the link is not valid anymore.

Would it be possible to reupload it?

The only "valid" link i found is on paid site (easy-firmware.com or firmware.gem-flash.com)

And the only method i found for s-off my device and put the european version is not free too
[HTC One Mini 2] perrin21:
Im stuck on the last part. I followed all of the instructions, flashed the bootloader etc and im now on the final part installing the actual rom. The problem is that when I re locked my bootloader it wiped the original rom and now there isn't one installed that will boot to turn off fast Start and Shutdown in power settings. Im assuming this is why im not seeing any recovery happening. Can someone please help? Is there another method for triggering this to start? Im basically getting an icon of the phone with a red triangle and exclamation mark inside when I try to boot into recovery with the SD card in. The file is correctly named and in the root of the card (which is formatted Fat32 and the file is named 0P8BIMG.zip)
[Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimaXtreme:
I live in a rural area where my best chance of getting service relies on having my phone shoved in a window. However, I carry a Samsung Gear Live on a daily basis, and it's very convenient and capable.

Because of where my phone is placed, I often have no access to it, and I do a lot of things at home that don't warrant wearing a watch, not to mention it's not exactly comfortable. Because of this, I've searched for various solutions to the problem of using my phone when I'm away from the phone. Thus far, there's obvious options like AirDroid, but that's unappealing since you need to leave this tab open at all times.

Yappy was an idea, but what made it most painful is it hardly ever sent my texts, and there was no configuration or history for the notifications when it passed through. Apparently, Microsoft's Cortana can integrate with the phone to allow notifications and texting from the PC.

What just baffles me is... why is there no app or extension that just uses the Wear API? Am I missing something, or is there just nothing out there that can connect via the Wear API, to offer as many features as a Wear watch, and not need to do much more than that? I imagine a simple app that connects like that would work just fine. I do understand the case of there being Wear apps that it would wanna use, but I also know that 4.4W was very rudimentary. So rudimentary, I couldn't even install much more than a Wear Bottle Spinner app. No new watch faces, no Skype or Music integration. It's so simple, I could imagine someone using the basic 4.4W framework to create an app to connect to Android Wear.

I'm unimpressed by the existence of apps that do their own thing, like Desktop Notifications, or Yappy, that ask you to use their apps together to achieve the best results. A Chrome extension, a Windows application, something simple that just connects with Android Wear over Wi-Fi. I think it's so simple, but so capable.

Have I just not searched enough? Am I missing something, a core aspect that makes it impossible to use the API in a simple Chrome extension, or has there just been no one who wanted to do it?

I recently have been trying to install Xposed on my S4 but I seem to get in same problem everytime.

Everytime I try to install the framware for Xposed on my S4 With recovery it seem to og in blooploop.

But I had installed unstall xposed before just in case something happened. so everytime I blooploop I use that.

Here is the problem. I still cant do anything with Xprosed because everytime I try to install the framware it seems to og in blooploop and I have to unstall again.

The farmware I had tried is on here xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk21/arm/

I tried the 79 Version and some others.

So I dont know what to do, please help!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] folgore95:
The problem is: you are trying to flash the xposed framework on the stock firmware-> bootloops because there are incompatibilities. Look at rovo89 thread to get more info about it.

If you want xposed on your s4:

- flash a custom ROM ( xposed is link in thread )

- downgrade to kitkat

Hi there, and thank you for you're respond.

I visted the rovo89 thread, but I can't seem to find how flash a custom ROM for Xposed, I already have TWRP recovery installed. is it possible that you can send me a link?

and why do I need to downgrade to kitkat? rovo89 has posted Xposed for lollipop 5.0
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] folgore95:
Listen to me.

You can go for " Resurrection Remix " rom or " Dirty Unicorns " rom. Just google this name with i9505. You will find xda threads of them. For me, Dirty unicorns is better. btw they are similar. ( RR is based on cyanogenmod / DU is based on android open project source ). I think you need xposed for customize status bar etc... you don't need that in this roms.
