Hi,
I tried to root my HTC One mini 2, but at some point got stuck. So now My device is not rooted, but not stock either, I try to install an update to the OS and it just reboots and then tells my an update is available.
When I enter fastboot it shows **RELOCKED** and S-ON.
I tried to re-unlok bootloader (adb and all in one toolkit) but when i choose "Yes" for unlock bootloader, "Entering recovery..." message shows and nothing happens. I still can choose between "Yes" or "No" option.
Please help, I can't stand this anymore.
Thx guys.
Did you reflash stock recovery?

No, I don't know how to do that, I assumed that first i need to unlock again.

Got it, all I had to do was to keep power button pressed for about 10 seconds when asked to choose YES or NO for the Bootloader unlock, obviously after choosing YES option.
After bootloader was unlocked it was OK to flash stock recovery.
Everything back to normal now.
THX.

For some reason when I install a custom splash screen in Redemption it doesnt stick.
The way I have done it is put the PB31IMG.zip on the SD card. Boot into hboot and install the file from SD card. Ive wiped the Dalvik Cache. Then I hit reboot phone. It acts like its going to reboot, flashes the factory boot screen, then goes back to hboot. I then install the zip file again and nothing.

Sounds like you got a corrupted PB31IMG.zip. Be very careful with what you do in hboot and always compare md5 sums.

When you say, "Installed from sdcard", what do you mean? You weren't in recovery, right, but rather HBOOT? There should be a question like "Do you want to install update? Vol+ Yes / Vol- No" and after installing it should ask if you want to reboot. You can't flash a splash screen from recovery.
P.S. This is the wrong forum for this question.

In hboot there is an option to install a .zip from SD card. Thats what I used.
So the location of the .zip was wrong? It never asked me if I wanted to install update unless your referring to the update option in hboot.

HBOOT does NOT have that option. That is recovery. HBOOT has a white background to the screen, not black. To get into HBOOT, power the phone completely off (Yank the battery if you have to). Hold down Vol-down while pressing power. When you get to the white screen, wait for the red bar on the right side of the screen to load up and it will ask if you want to install update. Follow the instructions on screen and reboot when prompted.

Yes, I did. I tried "adb reboot recovery". I tried select recovery in bootloader. It just boot, reboot and then boot normal. No error but no recovery...:crying:
This is embarrassing.....I powered off, walk out of the room. When I come back and try again, it works ......
I was trying for about an hour but never think of "power off"........

No problem. It's a little weird the first time I flashed it 3 times and then finally it went. Maybe it's something with the fact once we update our recovery our phone becomes bootloader unlocked.

Yep. It says unlocked and then when you flash it goes to tampered. Maybe that's why it's a little sticky about going into recovery after.

First of all - Please format your posts into paragraphs. People don't like reading a wall of text and will probably make it less likely for you to receive help.
(Im going to assume you haven't made a Nandroid backup and made a safe copy)
I'm new to Android a couple of months so there will be people on here with more experience than me who might be able to help you with an easier/quicker method, but this is what I would do:-
Download the latest Android Revolution HD (a Sense-based ROM that is the same as stock but better - read about it), other Sense-based ROMs are available but I like ARHD.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
Rename it to something like arhd.zip
Use the All-in-one-toolkit to side-load the ROM to your phone. It will begin to install automatically. Use the volume/power keys to install - it makes it less likely for the installer to crash.
There would be no need to root as ARHD comes already rooted.
You could also look/ask around for a Nandroid backup of your device/carrier and adb side-load to your phone but that would be more work for you. This would put your phone back to stock like new again. The best guide I've seen on here for people new to flashing,backups, etc. is here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
**Tampered** happens I think when you flash a custom recovery. S-ON is normal - don't worry about it.
Good Luck. Hope I've helped...
If I've made any mistakes here, someone please correct me...

To be honest mate I can't totally remember, I've only used it once and it's been a few weeks since I messed my phone up and had to use the toolkit sideload to fix it. I'm on a Mac at the moment so can't even check. It wasn't too hard to figure out though!
The toolkit (by hasoon) you already have is the toolkit I'm talking about. Sideload is just installing the ROM from somewhere else when it's not stored on your phone. (i.e. on your PC).
The installer (if you get that far) is called 'Aroma' and quite buggy when using the touchscreen so just use the volume keys to move around the options and the power button to select them.
Ty lol, Im currently using volume and power button to moving in the bootloader, it a brand new phone and im panic lol. Ill try all of that tomorrow

Like I said, I can't remember 100%, but its in the toolkit under 'Extras' -> 'Sideload a ROM' or something similar. It might even guide you through the steps. There's probably guides and videos online somewhere. Just call your zip file something simple to help reduce the chance of error.
Not sure I understand what you're saying... If you press recovery, you're taken to the recovery screen?

the tool work from fastboot mode in bootloader. so you must be in bootloader to use it but the toolkit has options that will boot the phone into bootloader

Tried what before? When you press 'fastboot' on the device nothing major happens on the phone - it's waiting for commands from your PC.

Try to push it to your device without the toolkit. Read this site
http://m.androidcentral.com/android-201-10-basic-terminal-commands-you-should-know
Use adb push command to send the ROM to your phone while in fastboot mode. Once it's on your phone, just go into recovery and install it from zip.
Place the 'android-tools' folder you download from that site directly onto your c:/ drive, not on your desktop etc. It just makes it easier.

Forgot to say - put the arhd.zip ROM into that folder also.
Try to go into recovery first to see what folders you have, if any. I had a folder called '0' when I messed up so my command would have been
adb push arhd.zip /sdcard/0

I think EMMa should work also with unlocked bootloaders.
http://developer.sonymobile.com/services/flash-tool/how-to-download-and-install-the-flash-tool/
Nope man, I think you need to install Flashtool on your pc, then install adb drivers from drivers folder in Flashtoll installation folder. Next download any firmware which you want to flash and move it to C:/Flashtool/firmware/here. Then just connect phone in flash mode and select that light in the left corner and select that firmware and tap flash. Done, your phone should boot now. :angel:

wich tutorial did you use, because you're sure it worked?
Whats the version your flashed?
When you shut down... wait few seconds after phone is shut down.... hold volme up and power button.
That will bring you to recovery
The tutorial:
http://xiaomitips.com/guide/how-to-install-twrp-v3-on-mi-5/
Same version of the tutorial.
FYI after unlocking bootloader my data didn't wipe! so I tried to unlock again but the mi unlock tool said that »the phone does not need to be unlocked.« I tried adb device info command to know if phone is unlocked but it failed!
twrp was successfully flashed according to adb message and because the"phone with cable" image for not come up again.
I waited up abou 30 seconds but it just was rebooting and rebooting and...!

Glad you got it, that's whats XDA is all about: helping each other:good:
Easiest method I found was to be on China developer latest ROM. Once you got bootloader unlocked, theres an option to root your device in permissions. The global doesn't have this option. Then i went to the playstore and downloaded the twrp manager. Use version 3.02 not the latest. It doesn't work. Let it go do it on its own and your good now.
