[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
Dear community,

About a year after i really wanted to root my htc one mini 2, i decided I wanted to factory reset my phone.

So after this year I forgot everything i knew, and managed to wipe the whole OS...

I would really appreciate any hints that might help me to fix my phone again.

Info on where i'm standing with the problem:

1. I tried to find my stock ROM on this site and couldn't because under "firmware" i can only find 2.18.161.2, though mine is 2.18.166.1 - does this matter? It's the vodafone one, and they even have a nandroid backup for my version, but not the stock firmware.

2. I have TWRP installed, and the site tells me i need to have my bootloader locked to flash stock roms. I have no problem relocking or unlocking it, but in the relocked state, i can not access TWRP recovery and use the sideload feature to flash the rom. The phone always goes back to the bootloader screen and the title says " **security warning** ".

3. i would really like to get my phone back as close to it's stock state as possible.

I am kind of afraid of flashing the available stock firmware, as I don't know how to proceed from there without TWRP.

I read a lot about this topic, but i'm kind of loosing it right now...

Can some kind soul lend me their wisdom and help me out?

Would be much appreciated :)

Hi,

You can either get put back everything to stock, as in flash stock recovery, relock the bootloader, get the available version from their site but the version number should be higher than the one already installed, however with S-Off you can flash any version.

Or

Leave everything as it is and perform a Nandroid restore.

What file are you getting from the website, is it RUU file, ROM, is it exe or zip ?, RUU will be beneficial to put back to complete stock with proper conditions met ?

WITH CUSTOM RECOVERY YOU CANNOT FLASH STOCK ROM.
[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
I would actually really like to put everything back to stock, because the reason for the root is somewhat gone now.

As already mentioned, I sadly can not find the stock recovery that i need.

I need the Vodafone x.xx.166.x format, and the closest i get would be the Vodafone x.xx.161.x format of the stock recovery.

What happens if i try to flash the available one? Do I brick my phone once again, or does it say something like "recovery version not matching device version" ?

Also, if by any chance the flash is successfull and the stock recovery x.xx.161.x is on my phone, how can i flash the stock firmware without TWRP?

Though I really like the idea of a more or less complete stock phone, I could totally go with the nandroid backup too.

The problem is, I already downloaded the files but as my OS is gone and i didn't turn on usb-debugging, i can not move a single file onto my device. (I assume that's the issue, because my adb push file /sdcard/TWRP/Backups didn't quite work...

Edit: Because you asked, I don't actually know what would be the best solution right now, but the only file fitting my device version is the nandroid backup, but there are RUUs for x.xx.161.x - which, as already mentioned, is the closest i can get to x.xx.166.x
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Here's how you can do it without developer option enabled.

- Make sure device is 100% charged, if you don't know how much charge exists, leave the device on charge for about 1-2 hours.

- Find an MMC of 4GB (Hoping your MMC slot is working)

- You will need Serial Number of your device for Nandroid restore, you can get it from the device box with IMEI stickers.

For RUU (zip file)

- Download the available RUU and rename it to 0P8BIMG.zip (I'm assuming its the same a normal HTC One Mini 2)

- Copy the file into the root of the MMC

- Insert MMC into device

- Boot up device and enter boot loader

- As the device enters bootloader it will automatically start flashing, if all conditions are met.

NB: I frankly can't remember if this will work with TWRP installed.

For Nandroid restore.

- THIS STEP NEEDS BE DONE FROM A PC, Extract all files from the Nandroid restore zip, connect the MMC to the PC.

- In the root folder of the MMC create a TWRP folder and inside it create a folder named BACKUPS and inside this create a folder named YOUR DEVICE SERIAL NUMBER (I haven't tested it with a different named folder so I don't know) inside this folder create a folder with the OS version number of your device and inside this folder place all extracted files.

- Put the MMC into the device.

- Enter TWRP and choose restore

- Locate the folder created in the earlier step, the TWRP Backup folder with files extracted in it.

- Let TWRP restore.

- As far as my knowledge goes it should work fine.

I will advise that you do a restore from Nandroid, because you have TWRP working this is the easiest method, to get the phone up and running then you can decide to go for RUU by enabling developer options and more.

I'm using a Nnadroid restore more than 6 months now, no problem whatsoever.

Good Luck
[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
That is exactly where I'm stuck with my nandroid backup.

I just can't seem to find a way to push the folder with all the files onto my sd-card.

I tried with "adb push \myfolder /sdcard/TWRP/Backups/myphonesnumberthingy", but it gives me "Device not found" error.

The device is connected, and with "fastboot devices" it shows in the list.

Did I miss something important here?

All the drivers are installed, and I shouldn't be able to lock and unlock the bootloader if the device wasn't properly connected right?

Edit: Nevermind, it seems I can't read. I will try to put my sd-card out of my phone and connect it to my pc somehow :)
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Use an MMC reader for working your MMC with a PC.

Your device connecting to your PC in the bootloader does not mean your commands will work, ADB works with device switched on, in bootloader its fastboot and NOT ADB.
[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
So i have an adapter for connecting the MMC to my PC.

I plug it in, and it shows me THIS.

Inside my recovery, if I use the file manager, I can't seem to access/find a single set of directories that looks like the one above...
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Have you extracted files from the Nandroid Backup zip and placed them into TWRP>Backups>Phone Serial Number>OS Version Number folder

Now, in TWRP choose Restore from the main screen, and locate the folder where your files are placed.

When in Restore, make sure you choose Storage: Micro SDCard at the top below Time, Battery and CPU.
[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
Yes i did extract the files in the zip, and placed them in TWRP/BACKUPS/serial/osversion.

But there is no way to locate it or access it.

When i open the file manager in TWRP, i see directories like "boot, cache, data, dev, devlog" etc, and also sdcard and external_sd.

External_sd is empty, and opening sdcard gives me only the directory created by my own nandroid backup, with the path /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT533WR02324/2016-07-17--08-52-32.

Edit: Okay now we are getting closer to solving this.

I tried to change TWRP backup from internal storage to micro sdCard - but it shows (0MB) beside it.

Choosing it either way, does nothing. The checkbox internal storage stays checked.

I'm going to restart my phone and see if something changes...

Edit2: Did nothing, unfortunately.

If i remove the card, the box can't be checked.

If i insert it again and tap on it, it stays highlighted for about 4 seconds and then internal storage is still checked :/
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Firstly it shouldn't show you 0MB for SDCard, anyway, place the extracted Nandroid files in the /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT533WR02324/2016-07-17--08-52-32 folder and then try again, if this folder is accessible then it should work.

MB: YOUR CONSTANT USE OF THE TERM FILE MANAGER IN TWRP IS GIVING ME AN IMPRESSION THAT YOU ARE ACCESSING THE FILE MANAGER IN TWRP WHERE AS YOU HAD TO PRESS THE RESTORE BUTTON FROM THE MAIN SCREEN, THE FILE MANAGER BUTTON IS DIFFERENT ALTOGETHER IN TWRP.
[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
Oh it appears I didn't mention this.

The folder i CAN see, is inside the internal storage under "/sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT533WR02324/2016-07-17--08-52-32" - and I can't access the internal storage, i would have pushed the files if that was possible.

No no, I use the backup function to locate my nandroid backup files.

But with the backup function, I couldn't change directories and look for files so I used the file manager to do that.

The file manager doesn't allow me to change to sd card either way, so that doesn't work.

Edit:

The sd-card i have inside my phone right now is 64gb big - is it possible that this is too big to be recognized?

I also have a 32gb one, would that make a difference?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
As per spec, this device supports 64GB too but I myself use a 32GB one, so yes you can try that and again you will need to access TWRP restore through the RESTORE button in TWRP main screen and NOT BACKUP button.

What you can do is copy the /sdcard/TWRP/BACKUPS/HT533WR02324/2016-07-17--08-52-32 folder into you SDCard TWRP folder and place the extracted files in this folder and try a restore.
[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
Okay it seems my 32gb one is broken, it's showing up but not as a mass storage.

Well if I could access the sd card with twrp at all, that would really help me - but I can't.

Backup botton and restore button behave the same when choosing the Micro SDcard (0MB).

And with the file manager, accessing the sd card gives me an empty directory...

Edit: Googling this problem tells me I need to format my card, as TWRP doesn't recognize it.

I read FAT32 somewhere, I read exFAT somewhere, what format does TWRP work with?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
First can I know if you can see any file/folder in SD when accessing it through Restore in TWRP ?

Format it as exFat, hopefully it should work..

You mentioned its not showing as Mass Storage, what is it showing up as ?
[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
First, through restore I can't navigate to other folders at all.

All I can do there, is tapping on Internal storage and choosing micro SDcard - which doesn't work.

It's like TWRP knows there is a sd card in my phone, but somehow can't access it.

That's why I assume it's due to it's formatting.

Switching folders/directories is only possible with the file manager with the advanced button - but this only shows me two things.

1. External_sd --> shows me an empty directory

2. sdcard --> shows me the folder where TWRP created the backup folder when I did the backup myself. (I assume that's the internal storage because under the restore button, this is the only thing that i shows up)

I read somewhere, that exFAT is only recognized by TWRP if you have a newer version of the recovery installed.

I don't know exactly but the version i'm using is definitely on of the first versions that came out.

Also, I checked my SD-card on my laptop, and apparently it allready is exFAT.

Edit: I was talking about the 32gb card not showing up.

I don't think it really matters, but my description wasn't very accurate.

The SD-card (32gb) is shown as the SD-card like it should, but the PC doesn't show any kind of used/free space bar underneath it.

Also, opening it gives a message like "There is no card connected"
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
The SDCard not showing free space bars is windows could possibly mean SDCard error.

FAT, FAT32 and exFAT work for Android so yes if you format it in any of these it ought to work. exFAT format is most commonly used in mobile devices in terms of SDCard.

Card disconnecting in Windows, I am guessing your card is having I/O issues, what this means is that if you try and format it and the MMC disconnects during the format process there is a chance it will be permanently damaged.

What you can do is just use Quick Format, this will not check for any errors, however if there is any sector errors in the MMC, flasing through TWRP could cause unexpected problems if that sector is accessed.

Advisably get a working 4GB SDcard to avoid any hiccups.
[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
I have the 64gb one i was always using, and the not working 32gb one.

Both are exFat.

I just wanted to know if it might work formatting the 64gb one :)

Edit: Concerning formatting, this is the thread I was referring to.
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
The device supports 64GB and so does TWRP, now concerning your SDCard, yes it would work (as long as its hardware-error free)..

I'm using TWRP version 2.8.5.0 and my SDCard is exFAT and works fine with TWRP..could be that older versions of TWRP might not support exFAT but I personally can't confirm that as which is the older version that you are using.
[HTC One Mini 2] Montor:
Update!

I realized, it's probably really the 64gb sd card, that's the issue here.

I took the 4gb one out of my fathers phone - bam.

TWRP recognized it immediately and restore is in progress!!!

Will keep updating!

Edit: IT F*ING WORKED!

Thank you SO much for your help!!!

Is there any way I can give you somethign in return?
[HTC One Mini 2] tryllz:
Great...:good::good::good:

Frankly I never imagined it could be the 64GB, I was purely under the assumption TWRP would accept 64GB MMC, anyway I lacked that information but now I know.

Nope, its working now is more than enough for me.

[Zenfone 5 General] Siddharth.NK:
Hello guys... I'm here to give you guys a quick review of the Zenfone 5 Bumper Case I purchased from Amazon

Link:- http://www.amazon.in/Asus-Zenfone-Bumper-Original-A5001CG-Black/dp/B00OTDCWIW

*-Now currently unavailable... got to buy from e-bay or other website-*

*-Pictures of the cover have been attached-*

THE REVIEW:-

The Case is great... I mean really great, regret all the money that i spent on all those cheap silicone covers.

The case is made of TPU, it weighs 50 grams and came in really nice Asus package.... like the one our zenfone came in.

Perfect cuts for everything... The volume button and power button is covered too thus protecting from any damage to buttons from falling, It even makes the buttons easier to press. The cover raises the screen from front thus protecting the phone from any scratches on the screen caused due to placing the phone down towards the screen. The cover is having completely smooth matte finish... the downside- makes the phone a little slippery but on the other hand gives it a premium feel. The cover is not completely

black, If you will look closely it has some extremely tiny white spots. The thing that i was missing in all covers was the actual and perfect Asus logo, the cover has an engraved logo under the camera. The cover is extremely minimalist. The only part i will complain is that it is a little pricey INR-700, According to me it should be worth around 300-400. After all it's just like any other TPU case.

Thanks for taking time and reading my review... do leave a comment about which case do you use.

And a note for all the Devs- Continue your awesome rom projects, All the best!:good:

Hi

I’m just about to turn on my new S7 Edge and I don’t want it to sync all my google apps or Samsung apps or any settings…..

I only want it to sync my google contacts…..

Any searches I’ve done on the topic brings up how to turn on or off the backups from the phone handset.. which only stops my S5 from making the backup in the first place. Which doesn’t help as my S5 is already backed up on google and Samsung account…

Question

So has my S5 is already backed up on both google and Samsung accounts how can I login the phone without triggering the app sync but allow the contacts to sync…..

is there a way to reset the cloud (google/Samsung) so there are no app or settings to sync.

Thanks paul
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Geoz:
To stop your account synchronizing setting/accounts and select Google accounts and turn off what you don't want to sync. Samsung's is a little tricky, setting/accounts and select Samsung accounts and enter profile (password is needed) and you log out any device connected to their servers and it will be removed.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericthered5000:
I am looking for a Developer or someone else who is very experienced to help me upgrade my Note 4 Developer Edition to the latest version and possibly to a ROM. It's currently rooted, bootloader is unlocked, and on BOG5. All the threads out there that say safe Retal/Dev upgrade are confusing to me. I tried one in the past and it locked my bootloader and had to send it back to Sammy. I don't want that to happen again.

What little experience I have with rooting and changing ROMs are with my old Galaxy Nexus, which had way easier methods than this phone, in my opinion. I also, don't want to have to use King Root or Kingo Root because I don't want my IMEI stolen. All I need is for someone who knows what they are doing to tell me exactly what to do for my phone and its setup, help debug if I have issues, and be somewhat easily accessible by email or chat if I have questions.

I'm not a total noob at this stuff. I can't say i completely understood what I did on my old Nexus but it worked. I bricked it a few times but was able to fix it by reading forums. The margin of error for the Note 4 Dev Ed just seems to be much narrower since I am trying to avoid the shady rooting tools.

If you are interested, shoot me a private message with how much you would charge for this, briefly describe your experience level, and when you can be available to help so we can coordinate.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] MontyV77:
Ok just recently unbricked my phone and started flashing once again. First I did the HARD SPL change from 2.03 to 2.10 Olipro. I flashed the current vp3G a few times but I was getting no phone service. I flashed the schaps and it did the same. My was getting no service and when I clicked on settings it said this.

Did some googling and found some sources where it said my default PIN was either 1111 or 2222. I went ahead and called ATT and explained to them I was getting no service but of course never mentioned I had a cooked ROM. They said the same that the default was 1111. Of course for some reason when I was talking to them I could not get to the settings to enter it. I told them I would call them back.

Finally got to enter it in and nothing. It is still not working. I'm in some desperate need of suggestions. Thank You.

If you are in USA and if you have a CINULAR sim card in your phone go to a AT&T store for a FREE AT&T sim card. It might resolve the issue as AT&T just changed some settings in some towers.
