I've already accepted the fact, that I bought a wrong phone and i won't be able to install custom roms like lineage os or cyanogenmod, etc. But I want to know why? Here on xda nobody even knows about desire 628, and I have to write in 626's forum.
Same reason there are no roms for the 626. Not a popular phone and no developer interest. Also most if not all 626's sold in the USA are locked down variants with rooting a mixed bag of results. My VZW 626 is rooted but that is the extent of any mods that can be done with it, No roms for it.

You can use kingroot to root it.... Worked for me after several failed attempts.

hey guys, and gals...I really need your help. so after holding off for over a year and a half i finally decided to root my gs3 and unfortunately I unknowingly accepted the 4.3 OTA update and well, you can probably guess the rest...so here it is. i used safestrap to get around the locked down bootloader and i installed the wicked_sensations ROM and had so many issues i decided that maybe this whole rooting thing was a lost cause...then i installed the alliance ROM and it worked much better....the issue i am having is that i cannot seem to get the wifi to work or the mobile hotspot either...i flashed the ROM and the ML1 modules and well, i just cannot seem to find a solution to my problem. I am relatively new to this android rooting process and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

is there any way you could give me more information? i dont know anything about swapping out the kernel or if that is even possible with the locked bootloader? in case it matters, i am using safestrap to bypass the stock verizon bootloader...thanks again
Hey guys,
So I recently got the HTC One Remix (the Verizon version of the HTC One Mini 2) and I would like to root it and install a custom ROM for it (preferably Cyanogenmod). The problem is verizon makes it hard to do any of these things and sadly switching carriers isn't really an option any time soon so I am trying to make do.
HTC-Dev reportedly won't work with verizon phones and many of the solutions for the HTC One Mini 2 don't work for the Remix even though they are essentially the same phone. Cyanogenmod has the HTC One Mini 2 listed as a supported device but I am not sure if that will work with the Remix because a carrier is not specified.
I have yet to see anyone who has had any luck, so is there anyone out there at all who is running a custom ROM on a rooted HTC One Remix? If so, what did you use to obtain root (sunshine maybe?) and what custom ROM are you running?
I'm majorly new to this sort of thing so hopefully the solutions are relatively easy so I don't end up bricking my phone.
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

As far as I can see there aren't many hardware differencec between the two phones. The only problem is that at this point there is no other way of unlocking these phones then trough HTC dev. I don't think there is a lot of development going on with unlocking with other methods. How do you know HTC dev isn't supporting your device? Did you check if "All other supported models" in the list?

It a verizon exclusive and HTC Dev doesn't work on verizon phones. The carrier blocked it. There's also a disclaimer somewhere deep on the htc site.
Thanks though. I'm just frustrated because I like the phone but I also really want to root it. I've tried a couple of the easier methods like sunshine and towelroot and those don't work I'm only on 4.4.2 but with my low skill level in this area I'm not sure if there's much I can do. I know s-off and root aren't the same thing but that's supposed to make it easier to find a way to achieve root right?
Aha then i'm afraid there isn't much you can do. Only wait for s-off because but I don't think it is goanna happen. My previous device is a One X and they had a huge user/developer base but never achieved s-off. It seems HTC really did a good job at closing this down.
stock rom?
Hi all, I accidentally nuked my memwl stock rom via twrp.. am desperately seeking anything that will make it usable again..
Anyone know where I might find the original ROM? I have only found the stock recovery so far.

I need Stock recovery Please Send me the link :crying:
HTC One mini 2/remix stock recovery
Hi. I might be able help you here.
Here is a link to what I'm pretty sure is the stock recovery. Note this dumb forum won't let me post links, so reassemble this yourself..
h t t p s
w w w . androidfilehost . c o m
/?fid=95784891001615233
Can't remember the exact cmd line.. something like adb flash recovery <file>
Now for the rom, I'll have to see if the link I got it from is still valid when I get home. There's a guy 'jcase' I think on the IRC that uploaded his personal backup that worked for me.
To be clear, the rom is for the HTC One 'remix' - Verizon's branded HTC one mini 2. There is NO working cyanogenmod that I know of.
btw you will need the TWRP recovery to restore from the rom backup when you get it, so the stock recovery might only be useful if the flash still has the recovery image on it.
Certainly worth trying first.
Good luck,
-M
Xda Devs, please we HTC one remix users need a custom Rom and s-off for our device.... We would really appreciate it if you help us
Hey guys
Im sure I'm not the only one who's thinking this but I really wish I purchased the original mini. The reason for this is the only ROM at the moment for this device is CyanogenMod and nobody seems to be making one. Anybody else feel this way?
Also just in case are you involved or do you know anyone making ROMs for this phone?
Thank God that we have at least cm.... I agree with you, and since I have this phone from July, I have been asking for roms since the first day, but this device isn't so popular yet... Vi there are kernels and mods, better than nothing. This forum sometimes is dead for weeks, I wouldn't be surprised that there is no interest in development
You guys really want a custom rom ?

Absolutely.... Preferably lollipop xD
@Will972 is one of the biggest contributors, as he gave us stock roms for every update
A sense rom based on lolipop will be planed soon on 2015 .. we must first have a kernel dev for a possibility to have it earlier but we don't have it.
The only thing we can have is a custom rom with 4.4.2 base
I just miss xposed since there is no idiot rooting guide.
I will make a rom with some stuff like xposed and sense 6.0 toolbox and maybe harman kardon mod instead of boomsound

I know rooting a HTC is not as easy as rooting a Samsung but still it is not hard. The most annoying part is unlocking the bootloader, but even this is easy, but killing time. Once this is done, you need 2 files: twrp recovery

HI indy140
You are not the only one thinking this, read my Statement(s) under Johann A. Sutter in this Forum!
I have made the same experience, for some reason or another it is obviously, that it is not so interesting (or to complicated) for developers to keep them busy with this device!
Good Luck, I'm keeping myself busy, to buy another one, looking before, if there are already valuable possibilities, to be my own Boss about my property.

Hey guys,
So this is a bit of a repost, but I wanted to ask again since sunshine now supports the HTC One Remix and bootloader unlock is possible.
I'm pretty sure this phone isn't going to get lollipop so I wanted something new to spice it up. I unlocked the bootloader and rooted using sunshine and downloaded xposed, but I wanted more of a different feel out of my phone. I would really like to install a custom ROM on it, but seeing as it isn't a popular phone it is hard to find anything that I can confirm as legitimate. I've been told not to use HTC One Mini 2 ROMs because, even though the phones are pretty much the same, there are little differences that could mess things up. Is this true? Has anyone out there tried using them?
Does anyone know of any reliable custom ROMs for the HTC One Remix? Or am I out of luck?
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

Doesn't look like there are really any. However, I'm playing with the idea of porting it over to the the Remix myself (as I grow more and more annoyed with stock...). I've been pretty busy with college until recently, so I might see if I can get something booting pretty soon.

That's awesome! I'm just getting into this sort of thing so I didn't really trust myself to port anything without bricking my only phone,but I couldn't really find anything legitimate out there. I really wanted to try cyanogenmod or lollipop but would even be happy if I could just flash stock Kitkat because a ton of xposed modules don't even work with sense roms
Let me know if you need anything a total noob like me can provide!
Any updates so far? I have an HTC One Remix as well and I'm looking for a CM 12 build or any ROM for it.

There's stuff on this forum regarding the 64 bit system and the simple reason to why there's not a whole lot of development going on for it is because us devs can't work on something we can't see and don't have! Most of the devs are in the USA and we mostly have the 32 bit phone and that's why there's a lot more development going on for it...
Maybe this can help you out and at least get you rooted and going in the right direction...

Well you could still benefit from rooting it you know... You could get rid of the boost bloatware and do lots of other thing's. If you like eye candy you can use the Xposed module and there's tons of stuff for that!
There is someone working on a CM rom for the 64 bit phone to so being rooted and ready when that comes out would make it easier.
