[Q] HTC One mini: no Operation System, no StockROM?

[Mr.Nieto]

Hey Folks!

I got the following problem...

I have unlocked the bootloader of my HTC One mini. After that it doesn't reboot.
It's possble to enter bootloader and recovery but adb commands doesn't work...
The newest htc drivers are installed. adb tells: "no device found"

What can i do now? No system to boot and no possibility to run adb commands.

I dont have found a StockRUU for this phone to make a recovery.

This device is a german HTC One mini from Vodafone Germany.


Thanks alot for help!

Try flash via Fastboot. ADB requires the phone to be switched on

 

[Mr.Nieto]

Hi. I cant install ROM via fastboot. i have downloaded cm11.zip and when i try "fastboot update cm11.zip" it says:

archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txt


So do you have a link to a stock rom (RUU) from vodafone germany?
Or what can i do to get this phone run. Please help. Thanks!

 

[RuffBuster]

There is no German RUU. They're is only a at&t US RUU available. why try cm11? it isn't complete yet. have you tried flashing Magio or one of the stock roms? And have you flashed the boot.img from the rom zip also?

SERIOUSLY PEOPLE STOP FLASHING STUFF TO YOUR $500 PHONES WITHOUT READING EVERYTHING ON XDA FIRST. MAKE NANDROID BACKUPS AND READ!

Hi RuffBuster,

currently the phone is unlocked and tempered. But when i enter the bootloader it shows "S-ON"

Its not possible to install CM11 on the phone, because its a ZIP File and that must be on the "SD Card"

I am not able to change the CID for other ROMS. I have downloaded the ROM from cingular,
but it doesnt installs - i think its because the CID is set on Vodafone Germany...


What should i do? I cant copy any ROM on the phone because it's not mountable to the PC.


Do you have a good idea what i can do?

 

[Mr.Nieto]

When i try the following: "fastboot flash boot.img" or "fastboot update boot.img"
it says:



C:\adb>fastboot update boot.img
EOCD not found, not Zip
error:
C:\adb>fastboot flash boot.img
unknown partition 'boot.img'
error: cannot determine image filename for 'boot.img'

 

[RuffBuster]

has ADB worked before? What windows are you using? your CID shouldn't matter if you use one of the WWE stock builds.

That is wrong syntax, the command must be

fastboot flash boot boot.img

and not fastboot flash boot.img

 

[Mr.Nieto]

fastboot flash boot boot.img

and not fastboot flash boot.img

İ have Do that but nothing happened.
Before I do that I got to install the ROM, right?

And the problem on that is that I can't copy the zip to my phone...


Any idea how to solve that?

 

[RuffBuster]

Have you tried the command "ADB devices" does this show your device connected? also are you using windows 7? You can use the "push" command to copy the rom zip to your phone. or if you have a OTG cable you can use a USB flash drive and install from that.

Flash twrp recovery and see if your adb would work or not.

If you are running Winsows 8 or 8.1 there are no drivers i guess and ADB will not work because of that.
If you´ve got the chance to use another windows version try this.
And read about adb sideload to push the rom zip file to the phone to be able to flash it in TWRP.

I kinda had the same issue with ADB/windows a few month back......see from post 5 on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2587477
Try boot in to TWRP recovery...
Then ADB push your Rom zip & latest SuperSu zip to /data/local
In TWRP look for the /data/local folder. Flash the rom zip then the supersu zip
(i would suggest flashing one of Tr1gg3r84’s Roms as they are stable and up to date)

Hope this helps, if it does thank nelvinchi as it was him who helped me

Hi. The Problem is, that adb cannot detect the device so I can't push files.

"C:\adb>adb push revone /data/local
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found"

Do you have the same problem before?

 

[RuffBuster]

your ADB isn't setup right. What HTC drivers are you using? I used the driver's that installed using the phone when htc sync manager connects thru USB cable. Maybe try different drivers and make sure htc sync manager is disabled while connecting to ADB. Also I'm sure you need java SDK installed to use ADB, I may be wrong. Search Google for a proper ADB installation guide. And maybe you need to run command prompt with windows administration rights.

it just sounds like your ADB setup is wrong. I'm not an expert with this. But if you keep having this issue invest in a OTG cable and install from flash drive.

Hi. So when I buy the OTG cable, what can I do with that?
I can plug a usb storage but how should I install a Rom from it?

Do I see the usb storage on recovery when I plug it via USB OTG cable?

Thanks

not sure about CWM, but with TWRP you can install from a USB flash drive or copy zip to phone and install from there. I've done this myself. The cables can be bought cheap from eBay.

I think you could also use a female to female USB adaptor and put that on your USB sync cable to turn it into a OTG cable. This would be a very cheap option but untested by me, so maybe stick with the normal OTG cable.

Also from my tests only flash drives are supported, not USB hard drives.

BUT... I just thought you might still have to use ADB to flash the boot.img file from the zip. But it may work without doing so... Maybe... Have a look at triggers roms maybe you can get away without needing to flash boot.img. try asking trigger about this.

your best bet is to try following one of the ADB guides on Google to fix your ADB installation.
