Hi guys,

Does the pure stock rom (no superuser) come with the stock kernel as well?
I'm hoping to return my htc one mini to pure stock which gets OTA updates as well.

Also what should i change my CID to, in order to get OTAs with this rom?

Thanks
Sadly once you have unlocked the bootloader via HTCdev.com you can't go back to absolute stock.

( don't know if you can use the AT&T RUU, which is the only RUU available for the Mini for now )

Yeah everything stock or it wouldn't say stock pal [emoji12]

You can fastboot a command to relock your bootloader that's about it....

For all of you who are on HBOOT 2.22 and got the new partition layout, here are modified versions of the ROMs from the first post.
Don't touch them if you're not sure that these are the right versions for your device (that's probably everyone having HBOOT < 2.22)!!!

The 3.10.401.4_odex for the new partition layout:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByRc8IR1ZBivQmFOclYtMzl3bm8/edit?usp=sharing (MD5: 080f80f7153e319a52a0b75334a367a4)

The 3.10.631.5_deodex (labeled as 3.10.401.4 Deodex/paid apps fixed in the first post) for the new partition layout:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByRc8IR1ZBivMXNjcncwX1ktcmc/edit?usp=sharing (MD5: bdbbb950280d65938cea41dacfeeeb1e)

Both zips are ready to flash via recovery. I only modified the updater-script to match the new partition layout.
Just be sure to flash it with the modified TWRP 2.7.0.5 (successfully did this) or the modified CWM 6.0.4.7 (didn't test this).

I hope it's okay with @tr1gg3r84 and @jmz.
Which rom may i flash?

(bootloader) version: 0.5
(bootloader) version-bootloader: 2.21.0000
(bootloader) version-baseband: 1.24.40e.00.26
(bootloader) version-cpld: None
(bootloader) version-microp: None
(bootloader) version-main: 3.10.709.8
(bootloader) version-misc: PVT SHIP S-ON

well if you look at the info you posted and the first sentence of the post you quoted, my answer would be 'none of the roms you listed' :).

To get perfectly back to stock to receive OTA's again you need: stock rom of your region, stock recovery of your region, stock kernel of hyour region, stock '/data/preload' of your region. The rom you can flash from TWRP-recovery, then the other files you can flash from fastboot mode. Afterwards relock your bootloader and you're as stock as you're gonna be.

The only files around here on this forum seem to be from some chinese region or from the Europe-international region, and I believe the very very very first stock AT&T Rom, but I'm not sure about all this.

all I know is, if you didn't backup your stock recovery/boot/preload you might be in for a hard time trying to get back to stock-so-i-can-get-OTA.

I managed to get my HTC__E11 phone back to stock-for-OTAs at least to upgrade from 4.3-sense5.5 -> 4.4-sense5.5 -> 4.4-sense6. No clue how well it will work on the next OTA whenever that might be. But it was hard and required a lot of patching and tweaking of the OTA files till finally the last OTA executed without modifications :p.

I was lucky that my phone was the same region as some of the posted stock-roms and OTA's around here, otherwise I would have problems.

If you are completely s-off and supercid you might be able to do more, but once again: no clue.

If you are _almost_ stock, the OTA files can be edited easy enough to be executed through TWRP and that might be enough for you. If your phone tells you there is an OTA, let it download the zip file, copy it to your PC without executing it, editing the update script so it removes any CID checks. If you don't have your /data/preload files anymore, you can remove the patches and checks for it from the script. Finally, remove the 'firmware.zip' setup at the end of the script. Zip the whole OTA up again into a new zip file and try to run it from TWRP. If it fails, try to see on which file and try again after making sure that file is absolutely stock. After the OTA zip flashes, you can flash the firmware.zip from fastboot-bootloader mode, and after all is done you can reflash TWRP to get your custom recovery back. Next OTA, you gotta do it all again :p.

Honestly, if you didn't backup all you could before starting, you might be in for a rough ride to get back to stock.
For what it's worth, my phone got sent to HTC directly, modified and custom ROM and all, and I just got it back in the same state without anything done to it or different costs. Can't guarantee that every service center tries the same though.

Official ROM for the HTC One Mini M4

Sorry for asking..
I want an official international ROM for the HTC One Mini. My device has the bootloader locked and it is not rooted..
I bought it from a european e-shop and unfortunately after the first boot I found out that it doesn't support the Italian or Greek UI because it was designed for the north european countries (Sweden, Norway..)
From the HTC site it is possible to get official Rom's and updates for other devices especially for the HTC One M7 and M8 which can be installed via HTC Sync manager.
Is it possible to find and flash also a rom in this case for the HTC One Mini M4?
Thanks!
