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.

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

Hello XDA,
I realize there is not too much information around about Japanese version of HTC ONE (aka J HTL22). I am wondering should I get the japanese version with osfaiukeitai and microsd slot or normal version. Here are my concers - please let me know if anyone has any clue:
1) Will it be possible to root the HTL22 ? if so, which method works?
2) Will iot be possible to use/install custom ROMs from this forum to HTL22?
3) Will MicroSD and/or osaifukeitai work with a custom ROM? I realize drivers will be needed for that. Is it possible to retreive the drivers from original ROMs and incorporate them into the new Custom ROM?
4) is it true that HTL22 is sold sim-unlocked, as rumor suggest?
any advise and info will be very appreciated!
Thank you
Bump. anyone. pls?
I think you better to consult with Mr.fnoji - you can contact him with Twitter @fnoji.
As far as I know -
1) yes. Use the revone with alternative binary.
2) I doubt it, but, people like tako0920 or fnoji are maintaining their custom roms.
3) J One's custom rom can exploit the unique MicroSD slot, but I don't know if xda's custom rom does have that feature also.
4) No, you should unlock it with fnoji's method.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your reply. Any chance to get URL where HTL22 ROMs made by tako0920 or fnoji can be found? i could not find those on XDA.... woul;d be great to have HTL22 dedicated forum...
Checking twitter meanwhile.
Thanks so much

I'd like as much information as possible as well. I just picked up this phone and would like to know what options are available. Does anyone know if regular HTC One accessories will work for this device?

I think the accessories will work, but it will help if you are more specific about which ones you want to use.
As for root - the only way to root and unlock the phone is to send it to someone who knows how to do it. Root-unlock method is not available publicly.
Althouh it seem like J-version ov Revone will work and unlock the bootloader. It will be easy to sim-unlock the phone once bootloader is unlocked. However, i do not know which command does it. trying to find out now. any help/ideas are welcome.
Yeah, if I fail to find an unlock method for HTC-One online, i think I am going to Galaxy s4 Active-Orange... I know it is not quite water-proof but I like the design very much
hi,
actually, i am still on the stage whether to choose HTC J One or other phones (like Galaxy S4 SC-04E or Xperia).
so, i would like to get your opinion about HTC J One.
right now i am still using Softbank but I am planning to switch to au or docomo by next month.
is it really worth getting the HTC J One? or if you have the chance you're getting a different one like SC-04E or Xperia?
are there any problems like lagging, stuttering, freezing, etc?
at first I plan to use it as it is. simply stock. just to have all the functions/features working.
but I noticed in your signature that you have successfully rooted your device.
i might do the same as well if i'll choose HTC J One...
Any comments will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I have recently bought myself an htc j one and am looking for an easy step by step guide for rooting it and installing a custom rom. Also will I be able to make the handset sim free so that I can use it overseas when travelling? I hope somebody can help me. Thanks.
Hi Guys,
I have been trying to find the information through out quite a few different threads. I keep finding threads that list "compatible with all variants except Sprint (until 4.2.2 is released)", however if I understand what that is saying correctly it's mentioning anything over Android 4.2.2 would work (ie Android 4.3). Unfortunately I have been out of the rooting/flashing game for about 2years and the last one I had was the Evo3D so I don't think I had this variants problem back then. I have already unlocked my bootloader (htcdev method) and as far as I know i've rooted it (CWM Recovery and SU), so as far as I know the ROM is the next step.
Are there any ROMs (preferably Android 4.3) that are compatible with the sprint HTC One?
Thank you guys so much for any info and suggestions you guys can throw my way.

Sprint user here, Ive been running elegancia for some time now, excellent rom. Find it in Android Developement in this forum. Q/A would have been a better place for this question bro. Hope this helps ya man.
Oh sorry. Like I said it's been a long while since I last dove deep into these forums. Thank you so much for the tips guys. I was really starting to get frustrated and thought I was just screwed. Thanks again guys.
I bought an HTC One (M7) second hand. The previous owner had rooted the device among other things.
It's currently working on Rogers network.
Can you help me find out what the original software version/carrier was on it?
I was thinking of using the latest Rogers RUU but I don't want to wreck anything.
Is there anything that may hinder me from using the RUU?
The phone shows, S-On, *Tampered*, *Unlocked*
Please give me any advice you can and I can clarify anything you need.
I have experience flashing roms on other phones this one seems more complicated.
My main goal is to have a stable Android 4.4+ on my device.
Thanks!

You're saying I should leave it alone and just flash a custom Rom vs a stock one?
I actually like that idea.
But, if I wanted to go stock in the future could I just use the RUU or would I need to do some other changes first?

Yeah just install a custom rom.
I need to go back to stock for warranty still trying to figure out what to do execty.
there are some guides on how to do that. but since you have a second hand I don't think you will have to ever go back to stock for warranty issues

stuck in bootloop
help! im stuck in a bootloop and my phone is locked en Son what to do?
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.

Pushing this thread up to the top since I urgently need a working ROM for the rooted HTC One Remix aka "memwl"!
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.
