You need this Rom and kernel to do s-off, after it you need the nandroid backup to get the 4.3 ota :)

Glad that u got it :)

Let me get this straight. My phone is already S-OFF and unlocked.

What I need to do is:

1) Flash JmzM4StockRootedOdex-WWE-1.22.401.1 with a custom recovery
2) Flash JmzM4_Kernel-09-4-13 with a custom recovery
3) Restore to the nandroid backup you uploaded using a custom recovery like TWRP

Then I should get the update?

By the way, the link you uploaded is not working anymore.

No!
Now goto twrp recovery and restore your system with my stock nandroid backup. Boot the system and let him check for an ota. Follow my guide now. You only need the custom Rom and kernel for s-off. If u already have s-off you don't need them.

Yes, dropbox is limited to 10 downloads, that's why I asked some of the guys such already downloaded it to upload it somewhere else. My internet speed @home is horrible.

I will upload my system dump tonight.

It's an stock system backup of the international HTC one mini and with supercid u will receive otas as first. And only with it and it's stock recovery it's possible to install it.

how do you get the supersu working mate!!!
Google for an zip for android 4.3 superuser.

But I will provide an link later for the zip file I used.

Half way to a success

Near to succeess but i need to confirm:
1. My Stock Rom is 1.25.708, got it since I bought this device. Is it okay to continue with this ROM?
2. If yes, how can i get the recovery.img?

Another info:
1. S-off is a success
2. Supercid is a success
3. Relock the bootloader is a success, i did it with ./revone -r . (If i didn't relock it, i'd enter the bootloop)

Thx

I think you should flash the standard recovery because mine can't get the OTA with TWRP installed

Little confused here...
  • Here just some other commands for revone:
    • -u --> Unlock Bootloader
    • -l --> Lock Bootloader (It will not simply lock it, it will lock it like it was never unlocked)
    • -r --> Relock Bootloader (mark the device as unlocked)
    • -t --> "Tampered" will be removed from bootloader
    • !!!IMPORTANT! YOU NEED FULLY STOCK ROM, STOCK RECOVERY AND STOCK BOOT BEFORE YOU CAN USE THIS!!! fastboot oem writesecureflag 3 --> restore S-ON


  • Should i restore s-on to get the OTA as you write below?


    Copy this nandroid backup into the TWRP backup folder.
    Important (It should looks like /TWRP/BACKUP/SHA********** [Ur device ID]/Stock 4.2.2 - 1.22.401.1 Odexed/backup files)
    Now reboot your device into recovery again and restore it with the backup we copied.
    After it sucessfully restore your device boot it up
    (Maybe TWRP will ask you to restore root, answer with NO!)

    1. Wait until device booted and connect to WIFI.
    2. Goto settings -> info -> Software-Updates and let him check for an OTA
    3. If you have SuperCID you should get an OTA notification.
    4. Download it but NOT install it.
    5. Connect your phone to your PC and copy the OTA
      (sdcard/downloads/) to your PC.
    6. Reboot your device into Bootloader and open CMD
    7. [Make sure you have WinRAR installed, its the only one wich worked for me]
    8. Open the OTA file with winrar, inside it there is a firmware.zip file.
    9. extract it somewhere.
    10. Open the firmware.zip and extract the recovery.img and copy it to your adb folder.
    11. Boot into bootloader and connect via fastboot USB to your PC
    12. open CMD to use (in my case) cd /Android/ (if your adb folder is on C:/Android/)

No :) just restore the backup now. For the ota you need:
S-off & Supercid
X.xx.401.x Rom or Backup
And stock recovery
