Stock Recovery, Nandroid, Boot | One Mini 2 - HTC One Mini 2

Hi All,
I see a lot of people asking for stock stuff for the HTC One Mini 2, please find them here:
Stock RUUs - https://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/general/htc-one-mini-2-official-ruu-t3425930
BOOT IMAGE
Signed Boot Image : boot_signed.img for booting problems (FOR INTERNATIONAL/EUROPEAN DEVICES ONLY)
PROCESS
Enter bootloader and then enter fastboot and type the command :

STEPS TO RESTORE NANDROID BACKUP THROUGH TWRP:
- REBOOT AND ENTER TWRP, PERFORM A BACKUP (THIS WILL CREATE A TWRP BACK UP FOLDER WITH DEVICE SERIAL NUMBER IN THE SD CARD)
- DOWNLOAD AND EXTRACT THE NANDROID BACK UP FILE
- PLACE THE EXTRACTED FILES IN TO THE TWRP>BACKUP<DEVICE SERIAL NUMBER> FOLDER IN THE SD CARD
- RESTART THE DEVICE AND ENTER TWRP, CHOOSE RESTORE
- LOCATE THE FOLDER COPIED IN THE ROOT OF THE SDCARD
- SWIPE TO RESTORE
- FOR SOME REASON THE NANDROID BACKUP DOES NOT CONTAIN CALCULATOR, FLASH LIGHT WHICH CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/
THANK YOU

What is the exact problem you are facing when flashing the stock file. PLEASE EXPLAIN FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDNG.
ELSE YOU CAN TRY THE BELOW.
NB: I AM ASSUMING THINGS AND GIVING THIS INFORMATION, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS AS I DONT KNOW THE EXACT PROBLEM YOU ARE FACING.
Make sure device is 100% battery.
1st try this:
1-Download this file: [ https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_1zjuazXSqbQ0p6NWtvRk9OMzA/edit?pli=1 ] and install in Windows (Run as Administrator).
2-Open Command window and type:
Code:
cd c:\adb
3-now on your device use Vol keys to choose and power key to select, and choose FASTBOOT
4-now download the attached file boot_signed.rar (extract the file in C:\adb folder)
5-type in the command window:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img
5-type in the command window:
Code:
fastboot erase cache
6-type in command window:
Code:
fastboot reboot
IF THIS DID NOT WORK, THEN TRY THIS:
Download this [ https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934555508 ] file and rename it to 0P8BIMG.zip and place it into the SD card (MMC Card), restart the device and let it boot into the HBoot menu.
Reboot device from the boot mode, if the device automatically reboot into the boot menu then it will start flashing the file automatically.
Good Luck, let me know how it went.
Try and let me know.

this is excellent, all in one place...
However, please forgive my ignorance in recovery/backup terminology (I hope it is not just me) but I get confused by the use of 'Nandroid' backup, Stock Rom, and .zip and .img files for flashing.
I have successfully used TWRP to flash the NostromoPop ROM, but have not been successful with any other .zip file supposedly a Stock ROM.
I have been hoping that somebody could put a rooted Stock ROM so that I can try it as a way to get around the KitKat blocks on writing to the SD card for some of my autosync apps.
Am I making any sense?
Many thanks if you can help

Hi,
As I understand you cannot flash a stock ROM with customer Recovery, as far as I know you need stock Recovery to flash a stock ROM, I remember trying stock ROM on TWRP but it failed, could be due to some other reason, I read somewhere it has something to do with file signatures.
As for SD write fix, you need to have root access other than that there is no fix for it, rooting with SuperUser Binary... I myself did want to try it now that I am back on stock but then I am greedy for Marshmallow (if they could fix that Loud Speaker issue) I am all in for Android M, I tried to get in touch with people on the Cyanogen Forums but no luck as I have not yet received verification email, tried so many times, no luck and as it seems there is no Marshmallow development on HTC One Mini 2....
I will wait and see how it goes...
If I am correct you can keep stock ROM and flash SU Binary and get root access and then install https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix to get it done with, it ought to work, haven't tried myself...

The recovery image you gave seems a little broken, but the backup worked...thought I recommend a factory reset unless you want the system language to be weird...

Which recovery image have you used, I have flashed the newer version successfully, yes the backup worked and has non-English language as default.
The command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
fastboot erase cache
If you could elaborate a "little broken"

I maneged to reflash twrp from android, ok these is what happened, I flash it as a recovery image with twrp, when I reboot into recovery later then it just showed a picture of my phone with a red triangle icon in it, after a while my phone resets...and goes back to booting from the main installed os...

Hi,
I believe you flashed a recovery with another recovery, which I think is not the right way, the right way is to use the command to overwrite TWRP with stock recovery.

HI,
Just wanted to know if you are having any issues with low audio after restoring Android backup from TWRP, I feel my audio is way too low and cant be heard just if I am outside my room..

I didn't have any audio problems, it could just be you being used to cm's 3rd party BoomSound replacement
---------- Post added at 01:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:21 PM ----------
Well that would exsplain why some elements of the stock recovery remained after I reflashed twrp with a app on my phone, e.g. it fixed the image I get when I hook my device up to power when it is turned off...before that it would just boot me into a unusable twrp homepage

The stock RUU file is corrupt! (tried 5 times now)
Where can I get a A stock flash or a ROM that is NOT ROOTED please?
I tried the 0P8BIMG.zip on SD card method and that did not work either.
Also, I thought the RUU file is meant to be an executable not a zip file. I'm confused...

I doubt its corrupted, which OS are you running currently ?, when I tried it, it failed due to the installed stock ROM being newer than the one being installed and since I have S-ON I cant downgrade it...
You can Nandroid Restore the stock backup, I have personally tried and it works....
Another way to do it is to have the Nandroid Restore and then use Sunshine to S-OFF (as sunshine only works on stock or near-stock ROMs) and then flash with 0P8BIMG.zip, it should work then, just a thought...

Hi, thanks for these links & info. Just about to give this a go. But, what does boot_signed.img do?

Its a signed boot file, meaning it flashes successfully should the device fail to boot or stuck on boot or in other words if the device does not boot and remains on HTC, this flashing this should solve your problem.

Hi all I have been directed here from another thread as I am looking to place a stock rom on my htc one mini 2 without bloatware, I have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP but the stock rom remains the same all I want is to install a rom via TWRP if at all possible. Is the 1gig one ok for that or will i need to completely put the stock recovery back on and the phone is unlocked to all networks if that makes any different
Thank in advance

Hi,
Its not possible to flash stock rom via TWRP, plus you need to have S-Off.
The only way to go complete stock is to restore Nandroid Backup and then flash stock recovery.

so is this the nandroid back up of a stock rom that I can use with the latest update for use with twrp and when I mean stock rom I mean a rom that has not been majorly altered to class it as a custom rom. I.e still has sense and no additional apps added
Again Thanks in advance

Hi,
Yes you will have to restore the Nandroid Backup, this backup is completely of a stock ROM, no edition, however it does not have some apps like the Calculator, Flash etc for some reason.
However I found the missing apps from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/htc-corporation/

Excellent much appreciated for this right, so I need to first copy the nandroid backup to my Phones root and run TWRP and restore using the downloaded nandroid yes?
if yes could I please have the steps to put the stock recovery on with ADB commands as I really don't want to brick my phone (Yes I know you take no resposibilty etc) just happier to have as least the correct file names and adb commands.
And last I just copy the new stock RUU to my phone and install?
You help is as always greatly appreciated as no one seems to be ddoing anything anymore for this phone

Hey guys
Unsure if I should be hijacking this old thread or creating my own, however I'm having trouble.
I am in a quandry as follows:
6.11.980.7 is the current version of both boot rom and OS me and my partner are currently running on our M7's. I unlocked our phones @ htcdev and installed CWM as replacement for the stock recovery but now want to revert to full stock.
I have a backup of my factory rom but not the recovery. I came across a thread that had a pretty exhaustive list of stock recoveries but I cannot find one for the version we are running. My partners still has 6.11.980.7 ROM on her phone but CWM recovery so I cannot update her phone to the latest OTA as it fails due to the CWM recovery that has been installed.
Can I please have some help regarding this? Can I install a version of the recovery that does not match the ROM or would that be a bad idea?
Thank you for any help that you guys can offer regarding this.

no you cant flash a recovery that doesnt match your phone, however there is possibly another way.
when your phone downloads the OTA, select install later, plug your phone into your computer and pull the OTA from the phone to your desktop, its in the downloads folder on your internal storage, its just a zip file.
Open the zip file, inside there you will find another zip file called firmware.zip, open that and pull out recovery.img, flash that one, then try and update your phones again.
Let us know if it worked. :good:
Hit thanks if I helped you
Hi there
Unfortunately not Tried that and CWM did not accept the zip. It said cannot open zip, installation aborted...
Not sure if CWM can be somehow forced to accept the zip? I assume the img file has something in it that is different to other custom rom files?
Great idea though!!

interestingly the OTA file had Optus in its name. So would I be able to somehow restore an Optus stock recovery?

???What??? it doesnt sound like you read my post properly, you cant flash the zip like that.
first of all you need to restore you backup (skip if youve already done this) YOU MUST BE 100% stock to run an ota.
then download the update (OTA), select install later, with your phone still booted into your rom, plug it into your desktop computer or laptop and copy the OTA to your PC desktop its just a zip file, when your internal storage opens on the computer, just look in the downloads folder, its in there.
open the OTA.zip, and then open the firmware.zip using something like winRAR, winzip or 7zip, whatever it is you use, and extract recovery.img, you need to flash that recovery.img the same way you flashed cwm.
so boot your phone to the bootloader so it shows fastbootUSB on the screen, and with the recovery.img in the same folder on your computer as adb and fastboot type these commands one at a time into an elevated command promt, wait for each command to finish before you issue the next:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery (name of recovery).img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot reboot
when you phone comes back on, update :good:
I cant make it any easier than that.
Thanks. It worked a treat. Sorry for not reading properly, it's been a rough night
I would highly recommend adding this to the reverting back to firmware post BTW. Would have saved me a boatload of time..

No. But I do have a backup that I had created using CWM recovery. But currently, I have flashed Philz recovery on my phone as it has more feature than CWM recovery.
I also have a backup of my current rom (created using Philz Recovery) which I had made after changing the bootlogo.

Where can i get the Stock Symphony Roar A50 Rom? I didnt had backup also! :/ No one here also Shared their Stock Symphony Rom here....
Hmm. Tell any of your friends using it and tell to take backup
thanks that was useful...but...
dude,
great job... will definitely hit the THANKS button... the procedure of running into recovery without installing a custom recovery is indeed very helpful. but i got caught in a slight snag: (a) i choose backup, (b) it suddenly pops an error [it was about to finish the backing up procedure] and does not continue.
questions:
a) to do the backup procedure - will it REQUIRE an unlocked bootloader?
b) will one also have to root first, that is, using the 'virtual custom recovery', should one install ROOT ACCESS first, then REBOOT, then proceed with backing up following your procedure?
thanks so much,

[Q] Couldnt Update to Lollipop, LF USA XT1063 Mirror

First of all I just bought Global Moto G 2014 (XT1063) from US Amazon and that was KXH21.85-23 (not updatable to Lollipop via shared OTA.)
So I did manage to unlocked the bootloader and flashed KXH21.85-17 and tried to flash the "Blur_Version.21.11.17.titan_retuglb.retuglb.en.US" which supposed to flash the Lollipop.
Unfortunately at first it failed to update me because "Printspooler.apk" mismatch the hash check. After attempt to flash (yes, I ignore the abort message and redo the process, It passed.... I don't know why) and stuck at some "xxx.apk" mismatch the hash again. After redo the process and bypass (for unknown reason that redo bypass the mismatch) I stuck at "velvet.apk" mismatch and this time It won't let me bypass and keep going on update to lollipop.
In my theory, Is it possible that I flash KXH21.85-17 from other country? Yes, any XT1063 (latin american, whereever on earth) supposed to flashable, but maybe the different country has slightly different apk. So that's why I failed the hash check.
Can anyone give me a URL or mirror to USA XT1063 for KXH21.85-17 that confirmed updatable to Lollipop? Since SBF-Dev and MotoFirmware is now down I couldn't find any.
I know what I'm saying is sound ridiculous, but I have no other theory that support my conspiracy anymore.
Hi @bankkung, I was facing similar problems. First you'd want to get back to stock kitkat which is up-gradable to Lollipop, so I would suggest downloading this file, http://180upload.com/bzl3ah1wov5g, which is 21.85-17, you can flash this file with fastboot by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/index-guide-update-to-lollipop-android-t2941340. Next you'd want to download both Lollipop files, the first and second one. (The second one is the newest update that fixes memory management). First file: https://mega.co.nz/#!UoQ02KLQ!22OUNBctGLoAUOMd_frTRT9jgbB3tRPUa4pPqfesGho.. Second file: https://mega.co.nz/#!s8ZSVJDA!SqUWPZODvM4-GYuXo6MC2JWTmpE9_jdyqlH-ycWi78I. Download both of those files and put them somewhere accessible (like your SD card) so you can flash these in stock recovery, so after you downgrade to kitkat you can flash the first one, then boot up and then go back into stock recovery and flash the second file. I'd recommend factory resetting your phone after this to smoothen everything out.
If all else fails you can flash TWRP recovery using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/recovery-twrp-2-8-0-1-moto-g-2014-t2896165, and then download this TWRP backup of the latest Lollipop, and place it in /data/media/0/TWRP/backups/(your device name here). All of that can be done right in TWRP recovery using the file manager (no need to root your phone). https://mega.co.nz/#!59AAiQaR!cPUsNpI5j-ZaIMX10uiS93EJqpLxua-iwKHj30InX1U
I would really recommend the first option tho, just in case any other updates come you can easily upgrade your phone.
Hope I helped!

I'm thinking about getting some Nandroid backup (never used TWRP before but I think this methond you gave is the same thing as I think) to get straight from Custom Recovery to Lollipop.
So what I need to do in the 2nd method is
a
flash TWRP
Place TWRP Backup of XT1063 Lollipop
restore
reflash Stock Recovery + Locked recovery
Is this sound corrected?

Yes once you place the backup on your SD card, flash TWRP, reboot into recovery and go to advanced then go to file manager, then finish following the instructions above. Once you place it in the right place then you restore it. As of the stock recovery issue, it wouldn't make much sense to do that unless you followed the first option, where the stock recovery would actually be needed. But if you find a recovery image then yeah. If you do the second method you won't be able to receive updates nor update it manually unless doing the first method.. But the TWRP backup is the latest lollipop so enjoy!
If you still need help you can just flash TWRP recovery, and download this and flash it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...-stock-rom-t2970427/post57438355#post57438355

I had the same problem a few days back. I tried everything but at the end, I had to flash the stock ROM using SP Flash Tool. After that, I was able to boot into Stock Android and rooted the phone again and installed the Custom Rom later.

My phone got a bootloop to twrp 3.0.2-7 after I wanted to restore to factory settings (from settings menu), I tried flashing 'new' RR-N-v5.8.5-20170926-aio_otfp-FINAL (during flashing I had 2 errors - logs available), tried to flash with some other roms, I tried to restore some old backups - same thing = bootloop to twrp.
I don't want to brick it like the guy from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/help/help-unbricking-k3-note-k50a40-charging-t3699007

I did not had time to revert rooting and remove custom recovery, so can't say much at this moment.
But your bootloop issue is most probably due to presence of TWRP, you need to completely remove root & TWRP, restore stock boot and recovery, then try.

Fortunately I've made it working again.
What I did, I flashed phone with SP FLash Tool 5.1628 and K50a40_S433_160909_ROW https://forum.xda-developers.com/k3-note/development/official-build-lenovo-k3-note-k50a40-6-t3370537. But it was not success at that time. Phone acted weirdly couldn't boot, only vibration after power on could be felt. So I tried to flash only the recovery Lenovo K3 Note Stock Recovery.img 10,2MB (also in the package but not default recovery image for S433) with the scatter map from S433 stockrom but SPFL said that it didn't end successfully, so I flashed only rocovery from stock rom S433 target_bin folder recovery.img 12800kB and then voila, it started to boot, there was a Lenovo logo, took some time to start but eventually phone is working.
Now I want to root it and / or flash correct version because my phone is actually k50-t5 not k50a40.
So thanks and good luck to those with similar problems after restoring factory settings on AIMROM.

Exactly the same thing happened to me.
So I tried your idea and updated my TWRP, going from 2.8 to 3.1..1
But exactly the same thing happens - it still bootloops, but to the new TWRP.
I've tried flashing several different ROMs that all worked in the past. But no change.

do as what i have mentioned above,..and give update
It worked ! Thanks.
The reason I didn't try it straight away was all the comments about wrong links etc. And some of the links afterwards didn't work. So I was looking for a recovery.img file in other places.
I read your new message, so I used the first link in your post which gave me the recovery img. The TWRP link doesn't seem to work, but I already have an up to date TWRP on the phone.

Any updated GUIDE for install kernel ?

Hi so im new to HTC modding, i bought second handed M7, its complete stock.
I want elementalx kernel (i suppose its best ? ) to have htc logo functional (and also little underclock etc for battery saving).
Is there any step by step guide for do that, with no screw anything ?
(mine is M7_UL)

There isn't much more to say about the install process than what's already said in ElementalX thread:
INSTALLATION
1. Install zip from recovery
2. Follow the instructions, if you don't know what to do, use the preselected options
3. Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Your bootloader can be unlocked using instructions at www.htcdev.com/bootloader
Twrp recovery is flashed using fastboot in bootloader mode:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-3.2.1-0-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
and finally save the correct elementalX version on your phone storage and install with twrp.
ok but in future how i recover stock recovery and kernel ?

It's very easy. Just go into fastboot mode, switch into RUU mode via "htc_fastboot.exe", install the stock RUU zipfile even via "htc_fastboot.exe" and that's it. In the HTC stock RUU-zips everything is included, even stock recovery, kernel, and so on...
I recommend for ALL fastboot-operations with HTC devices to use the special "htc_fastboot.exe", it works smooth for me.
Code:
htc_fastboot.exe oem rebootRUU
Wait for the silver HTC progress bar, then:
Code:
htc_fastboot.exe flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip
If this step failed after installing "pre-update" hboot, that's normal. Start the flash procedure IMMEDIATELY a second time (or -- as in my case -- it is automagically done by the flash proceeding).
This flash tooks approx. 10 minutes. If you got your windows command prompt back, the final step is (even if the silver progress bar is NOT at the end, that's normal too):
Code:
htc_fastboot.exe reboot
and the system will start like a brand new original M7.
I did this many times with one of my different M7's (one for daily use, several others for testing and experiments), and all the time it worked without any trouble.
(Yet I'm using Slim7-1.17 7.1.2 Nougat with GPE-firmware on all devices, it runs much much better as any stock rom from european HTC Sense).
Happy flashing,

If your phone is running the latest version, you won't need the stock recovery anymore so there is no need to backup the stock recovery.
You can backup your stock kernel using twrp "backup" menu. Make a backup of the "boot" partition, this is the kernel. If you need to restore your stock kernel, just restore that backup using twrp "restore" menu. Also, stock recovery and kernel can be extracted from a firmware.zip or ruu.zip matching your phone version if you really need them (someone probably already extracted them and uploaded somewhere, if you can give me the output of "fastboot getvar version-main" I can tell you if your stock recovery and kernel are already uploaded).
You can still flash a ruu to restore your phone back to stock like described above, but flashing a ruu only to restore the stock kernel is a really drastic solution (will reset the whole phone back to stock, rom/recovery/kernel/everything and you'll loose your data).

If using htc_fastboot.exe you must NOT do the flash command a second time. htc_fastboot.exe will take care of the hboot pre-update itself: will flash the hboot, output the "90 pre-update error", make the phone reboot itself back to ruu mode and flash the remaining partitions without any action from the user. Just so you know it's not magic but how it's intended to work when using htc_fastboot
The second flash was only needed if using the regular fastboot.exe from the sdk-tools for 6.xx.xxx.x RUU and older (7.xx.xxx.x ruu must be flashed with htc_fastboot.exe because of the ruu file size)
thanks all, it working
Well until i tried magisk, can't get safety check pass
