In a practical sense .. when do you need to have S-off on these devices .. for just flashing a custom ROM it doesnt seem so .. would I be correct in saying that?

 

[MirageBlader]

For a custom rom u dont need s-off. Change cid or install a stock from other region, for that u need s-off

Just out of interest ... I have an Australian HTC one mini .. updates take aaaages to get here ... if an update becomes available for a foreign carrier (Lets say AT&T) .. if I change my CID to that carrier with the OTA update become available for me? Is that why people bother changing the CID?

To fix the bootloop with the combination of s-off and unlocked bootloader, delete the file at /system/bin/hcheck

@jmzdone it, and it works like a charm. now I can continue to flash the kitkat.

to delete that hcheck, user twrp, mount system and delete it via file manager.

To all having problems with update verification just after download. Check your Model ID. It must be PO5820000. If it is different check this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601525

When will hboot 2.22 be available to be s-off? I don't have the hboot 2.22 files so I can't flash older ones and flash 2.22 later.

How did you changed from Vodafone Germany HTC One Mini to International HTC One Mini? Can you help me do the same thing?

First and the most important thing is you need S-Off
If you have s-off then just follow my tutorial.
You just have to install a complete stock rom and update it to 4.4.2
IMportant, no root and no modifications or you will get update errors
thats it!

Now I have One-Hybrid Rom installed. My phone is S-ON, bootloader unlocked, hboot 2.21. Can you help me revert to stock in order to do s-off and update to international 4.4.2?

@MirageBlader - GREAT TUTORIAL!

May be off-topic, but is there any way how you can unlock the bootloader without HTCDEV.com?
I tried REVONE, but it did not work.

Thanks.

 

[MirageBlader]

No theres no way. The only way is if you have s-off but for s-off you need root and for root you have to unlock your bootloader. :/ so Sry mate but there is no way

Thanks for the kind words. When we get Sense 6 Update I will update the thread

Great! Thanks for reply.
Finally, somebody replied.

So, I will unlock my bootloader today - I want to install a new CM 11 [Milestone 6 (released today)]
+ Kernel that supports DoubleTap2Wake + Sweep2Lock.

Do you have any procedure how to go back to FULL STOCK?
(I read many threads, there is no procedure for HTC One Mini - only for One M7.)

Btw. I found this RUU that I would use, but I did not find any description if I can use it, or not?

You need HTC unlock, and a Full wipe before flashing cm11. Just follow the instructions of the Rom. Iam in the M8 Forum now xD if you need Support just pm me or add me in hangouts, Ian glad if I can help

Its a at&t ruu, its Not a real help. Follow my guide will give you a stock wwe Rom. You will be able to get updates if you wanna cm11 just install a custom recovery and Full wipe your device and install cm11 and Kernel but its better to have s-off
