Stuck in Bootloader

[wolfiesmith]

Hi apologies if been asked many times but going to ask again.
My sons HTC One Mini is looping on the bootloader.
Cannot do a factory reset either, any options just loop back.
I spoke to HTC who said I could send back but if there was any damage they would charge.
Its got a couple of cracks in the plastic casing so guess thats enough for them to charge.
Before I decide is there anything I can do to sort myself without invalidating any warranty etc? (its still under contract)
Thanks in advance

unlocking bootloader "will" void Warranty, but here are some ways to get back to a clean state.
But the easiest and safest thing would be to apply a RUU if you can find one for your device.
Try "HTC One Mini - Stock ROM wiederherstellen via RUU" in google, it is in German.

Phone contract is with EE, Closest thing I can find is an Orange download it has the same version number 4.15.61.1, is this the same?

Your bootloader is locked in that image. Did you ever unlock it? If the answer is no, then you should be good to go as far as warranty.

As for the cracks, if they're the hairline ones that appear on the sides, you shouldn't have any issues. That's a known problem with this phone. HTC will probably just swap the phone out because of them.

put your phone to ruu mode and try manually flash the zip you get from the executed ruu out of the temporary directory.
you tube video "Flash an HTC firmware zip" this might work not sure with s-on, you can also unlock your bootloader and install a recovery and custom rom
