Your TWRP link is broken :{
I can't find 2.7.0.5 for htc one mini. From the official site all they have is 2.7.0.0
Will this work?

uhhh... not sure about this mate. There is no TWRP 2.7.0.5 for this model, then I don't believe you can mount USG OTG with TWRP.
Did you test this mytohn ?
Plus do you have any un-rooted rom ?
Thanks

Hi, can you be more specifict on the flash process.
So you flash the ROM from USB GTO.
Then wipe cache/dalvid cache
Then flash boot.img
Also, is that normal that when right after i flashed the rom, and shutdown the phone, its say no OS installed?

Can you upload the rom again?
Hey, can you re upload the ROM and what HBOOT do you need, will it work on 2.21?
Thanks

The link for the rom is halfway down the first page of this post' no need to upload it, it don't matter what hboot your on as the link to OP has link for rom for hboot pre 2.22 and another member has put up links for a modded version on the last pages of OP for hboot 2.22 and above. just make sure you download a twrp recovery that supports your partition layout (your hboot will give you and idea) I gather you have an OTG cable or a dual flash drive USB.
Everything and every answer you need is in these forms...you just have to read! That's how I managed to give yo this answer in under 10min of searching.

Hi there,
I got a HTC One mini. I bought an USB OTG and installed TWRP v2.7.1.2. I can see the USB OTG under "Mount" but I can't mount it. "adb sideload file-name.zip" is also not working.
Please advice.
Thanks.

What may be?

Hello to everybody!
All these things are OK:
1. Unlock device with Unlock Bootloader
2. Download ROM and Copy to Flash Drive
3. Flash recovery TWRP 2.7.0.5
But when I try flashing ROM "m4kk_4.4.2_3.10.401.4_root-odex.zip" from "Install" I get what you can see in attacked image.
Flashing lasts only three seconds. When I reboot, I get loop booting.
What I can do?
Thank for all

Help!
Hello, I have an htc one mini in state like the one in the picture (first post) stuck in bootloader (tampered, unlocked, s-on).
The only difference is that ''OS-'' section is empty!!!
I've flashed this recovery: twrp-2.7.0.5-m4kk.img using adb and then flashed this rom: m4kk_4.4.2_3.10.401.4_root-odex.zip as it is mentioned.
Everything went well and phone started in 4.4.2! Almost everything... Once I had opened the data (3g/4g) everything messed up (lag lag lag)!
I've tried to reboot via power button and after restart I stuck again to bootloader.
I've decided to flash the rom once again. This decision was harsh...
Flashing procedure never completed succesfully (interrupted by reboot) and from then till now in recovery mode the touch screen is not responding, the touch buttons neither!
So, I cannot flash nothing!
Please help me! Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the ROM!, everything went ok!
[BTW, I used Philz Recovery and also works, and got the ROM from Mega]

I have tested it on the xt1023 but from what i am told it should work on all models because supersu.zip is universal and same with TWRP if i am not mistaken.

doesn't reboot into recovery
Everything seems ok during the process but when the phone reboots it stays in the Motorola logo/Android screen, never moving on to TWRP. This also happened when I tried the normal Fastboot method. Bootloader is unlocked and usb debugging is checked, of course.
Any ideas?
edit:
More info-
1. The only command that seems to work on my phone is when I install stock recovery.
2. When I go into bootloader and try to restart in any mode but normal restart I get a blank screen
3. I previously bricked my phone by doing something stupid so I reflashed one of the factory firmwares-
RETUAWS_XT1023_4.4.2_KXC20.82-15_cid9_CFC.xml
Could this be the source of my problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for your script, mate...just used it for SuperSu installation and made the rest by other way, but worked flawlessly for that, and that's the point !!! :good:

Update won't work if you have modded system partition in any way. Even if its just blotware uninstalled. Just flash system partition only and it should work. The .1 .2 .3 file extension files I mean

Hey guys. My little brother just got a Moto E, and I'm trying to get it rooted/Recovery'd.
I'm using your toolkit, but so far, no luck. Doesn't want to root, nor install recovery. It's stuck on "waiting for device".
I don't know what's wrong. I checked that USB debugging was on, and he unlocked his bootloader earlier. Everything should be fine.
But, it doesn't work.
Could someone provide some help, please ?
Thanks.

Did you extract the zip to your desktop? And are the right drivers installed also try using a different USB cable or port.

[Q] Upgrading to Android 5.0

Hi all,
I got the message about upgrading the OS to 5.0.
When I try to upgrade, It starts to download a file, and the the device is restarted.
Then, instead of automatically begin the installation, I get some menu (construced of several rectangle buttons).
One of them is "Install".
When I press it, it asks me to find a zip file.
What file and where is it???
Thanks, Tal.

Do you have a custom recovery? If so you will have to flash a stock recovery and install the file.

I think you havr custom recovery, because there is no option in stock recovery for selecting a zip file. I also have to ask are you using stock rom and are you unrooted?

I know where you are. Thats the bootloader.
Thats when you power on holding the volume down button and power at the same time.
Use the volume buttons until the arrow says "recovery" then hit power. It should boot into whatever recovery you have.
Prob TWRP

Ok, so I have the "Team Win Recovery Project" 2.7.1.1
And I am rooted (checked with "Root Checker" app
I'll be happy if you can help, but anyway I sent them a message (hopefully they will answer sometime...)

Where did the ota download to do you know? If not then try to find the ota zip on these XDA forums. Then when you are at twrp main screen choose install zip, browse to where you downloaded the ota zip on your phone (check downloads folder) then choose it and swipe to install. Once that is done (it could take some time, be patient) then choose wipe cache or something I can't remember exactly what it says, after that's done reboot using the button on the screen. Don't manually reboot. You should be upgraded to lollipop now

I searched and did not find any relevant zip file. I even did not find ny file which is above 400M, as I remember that was the size of the download...
Maybe the OTA process do not download a zip file, but another type of a file??

Check the /cache folder using es file explorer not your computer
You might need root
Or just download the newest ota zip it's probably available in a thread here on XDA search for it

Follow this post it's the easiest guide I found.

It's gonna wipe your phone clean so back up pics, files, music, etc first. If you want to root after then there's a guide on that to in XDA.
Don't use any toolkits etc that is probably how you ended up with twrp recovery and didn't even know it lol learn the proper commands and use only those commands

Thats TWRP, you need to put your phone fully back to stock to install 5.0 then re root and reflash TWRP back on.

[TOOL] Mi Toolkit V4 (Root, TWRP + Stock Recovery, IMEI Backup)

Because Manu11 didn't update his thread about the toolkit. I decided to post this to help Mi 4i users that got into trouble with TWRP unable to flash dh.harald's CM12.1
FEATURES
-Root (MIUI only, CM users can enable Root in Developer Options) Working on MIUI7 (thanks to @ss.suryakant95 for testing this out)
-TWRP Recovery
-Stock Recovery (just in case)
-EFS (IMEI) Backup and Restore

DOWNLOAD
(Some users had problems unzipping this ZIP with WinRAR, consider using free alternatives such as 7-zip)
MAIN URL: Click here to download (Please use this download, but if in any case you can't extract, you may use the mirror I provided.)
MIRROR: Click here to download.
HOW-TO
1. Enable Developer Options (Tap MIUI version 7 times in About Phone), and then in Developer Options, enable USB debugging.
2. Have you downloaded the ZIP? No? Download it, now.
3. Extract the downloaded ZIP wherever you like, keep in mind that all files must be kept together.
4. Connect your phone to the PC.
5. Run the Start.bat file.
ATTENTION: Please do a ROOT (I'll assume you're still in MIUI) before you flash TWRP, or you may be brought back into stock recovery. (Thanks to @omerjerk for testing this)
---
UPDATE: This toolkit's TWRP is deprecated (download the newest version here), but if you don't want to hassle with downloading another fastboot driver, you can still download dh.harald's recovery .img file, and copy your downloaded recovery to the extracted toolkit folder, then change dh.harald's recovery filename into twrp.img (UNTESTED)
I'll repack this toolkit with dh.harald's newest TWRP whenever possible.

This toolkit is made by magdag, all credits goes to him.

I can't speak for magdag, the dev. So, this is literally the version that is usable for flashing TWRP.

Backup everything (all partitions) except the first in the list.
You may want to use the compression.
The backup should be somewhere between 3.5GB and 5.5GB depending on the options and the data.
You could install ROM Manager (from Koushik Dutta) from the Play Store.
Choose the TWRP as recovery and Unknown Device as device.
Then you can use this to backup with TWRP and it will choose the right options for you.

Backup everything (all partitions) except the first in the list.
You may want to use the compression.
The backup should be somewhere between 3.5GB and 5.5GB depending on the options and the data.
You could install ROM Manager (from Koushik Dutta) from the Play Store.
Choose the TWRP as recovery and Unknown Device as device.

Just Google it. Seriously. Or go to MIUI Forums and see the options you got there, there should be plenty of MIUI Fastboot ROM since 6.5.6

Is it the root or the twrp flashing?

Both root and twrp

I've MiUi 6.6.10 on my device.
I used this toolkit to flash twrp but I'm not able to do so.
Whenever I select the 2 option, it flashes the recovery successfully. But, when I boot to recovery again using adb reboot recovery, I get the stock recovery and not twrp.
What I'm doing wrong ?
P.S. I haven't rooted the phone yet.

It worked after root.
I think it should be added in the main post that root is required.

Hi
Not able to restore stock recovery with the toolkit. I've tried to flash stock.img manually in fastboot., but not able to get into stock recovery even fastboot show succeeded.

NOTE
There are 2 versions for this recovery, SEMI-PERSISTENT & PERSISTENT.
1. Semi-Persistent Recovery
[Works on stock rom and custom rom] Not permanent, requires command in order to boot and needs to reflash it every time you need it and then reflash stock boot.img after using it in order to avoid bootloop.
2. Persistent Recovery
[Works only on custom rom] Permanent, you can boot on it anytime without a command and doesn't need to reflash it and stock boot.img.
Flashing TWRP Recovery
Downloads:
[SEMI-PERSISTENT] TWRP 3.2.1
[PERSISTENT] TWRP 3.2.1
1. You need to be rooted first. Root Guide: Magisk
2. Flash TWRP image (Download link above) using the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash boot_a pathtoimghere
and
Code:
fastboot flash boot_b pathtoimghere
Note: In this state, you will encounter bootloop when you restart your device and proceed to OS. So please, don't.
3. Boot to recovery using the button combination (VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON).
4. Once you are booted in TWRP, you might notice that /date doesn't work. To fix it, you need to decrypt your phone.
For now, flash the vendor.img found here.
5. After step #4, Hit Wipe and Format Date on TWRP, type yes in the dialog, and then reboot to recovery (not system). TWRP will now be useful.
6. If you are on 10f or 10h stock rom download this TWRP then mount vendor and system, flash the zip through TWRP to enable semi-persistant.

Me (for the initial G7 TWRP device tree)
Rashed97 (for his great help to make me understand how recovery works on a/b devices)
Skullpluggery (for polishing the thread)
I hope i didn't forgot anyone , if i did im sry , hit me up and i will add you here.

Why is this TWRP semi persistent
So The g7 is a a/b device meaning it has 2 system paritions etc , but it doesnt have a recovery parition anymore so recovery is now a binary inside of boot.img which gets executed when hitting the button combo , but to have to you need to flash the boot.img containing it , and thats the point the boot.img containig twrp isnt compatible neither to aosp nor to stock meaning your phone would probably stuck in a bootloop or a reboot loop , so only thing we can do for now is flashing back our boot.img after were done with twrp, im working on it and i was able to smack twrp into the stock boot.img but it doesnt work correctly anymore then , I've finished my work on a variant that works without a pc needed

Persistance reached us , YAY
This is ONLY for AOSP OREO AND PIE flash this bootimage using fastboot flash boot_a pathtoimg or fastboot flash boot_b pathtoimg
Then TWRP will be always present no annoying flashes anymore

Can I flash normal zip files with recovery? because not everything is supposed to go.

yes you can do everything once your decrypted , this twrp just wont stick

can someone please tell me if i have the buttons before warning that the bootloader is unlocked or after the warning? it's about booting to recovery after flashing the recovery.img. Unfortunately, I did not manage it yesterday.
should you flash at step 4 the file on the recovery, or via adb sideload?

hello mate long time no chat lol thinking of getting the g7 got one plus 6 at min will the fix for the one plus that makes the recovery stick work on this ?

will the error be corrected over time? because after the first reboot into the system the recovery disappeared again. I would like to boot again into recovery after being in the system, it no longer exists. I followed everything according to instructions

thats what non persisrant mean youi always have to flash the recovery boot.img first

Great to know development is picking up on this device. Waiting for supplies to hit the rest of the world so I can get an European variant. ** Thumbs Up **

stupid question but does the locked bootloader on usa versions disallow booting unsigned images over "fastboot boot" command also?

just got a g7 what we going to cook up this year

As a developer, do you think it is possible enable HDMI out via kernel update?
