How to root, install Cyanogen Mod - HTC One Mini M4

cache/dalvik cache is all you need to wipe when flashing a new nightly.

it's recommended to do a full wipe, but you can get away with just that.
 
Yes, all your settings will be there. gapps should still be installed but you can check afterwards as it's easy to flash back.
 
Glad it's working well for you :). In terms of Cyanogenomod release it usually goes from Stable > Release Candidate > Snapshot (M) > Nightly.

Nightly is usually very biggy as they're testing out a few things (although sometimes they're good enough to be used normally). Snapshot is usually released once a month and is where the developers ensure most things are working and stable. Release Candidate means there's almost no bugs and they're ready for a full stable version. Stable is well, stable :p. I usually tend to stick with the snapshots if I want to use it as a daily driver.
 
Hi again,

Want to update the One Mini to the latest snapshot as it still does crash on occasion, and I do get Trebuchet has stopped working a lot. Do I just go to system update and click the little download button next to the snapshot?

Cheers
 
Not sure with Cyanogenmod but it might be better to download the zip file, and flash via recovery. As you're already on Cyanogenmod you don't need to wipe your data, just wipe cache and dalvik cache.

Trebuchet is the stock launcher, I suggest replacing it with Nova Launcher.

Would reflashing remove all of my app data and apps etc?
 
You will need to factory reset, the files from CM is incompatible with Sense so it will cause major problems if you attempt a dirty flash.
 
Okay that's no problem.

So copy the .zip to SD card, backup then factory reset of current install, flash stock, wipe dalvik and cache and then jobs a good 'un? Is there any way to "re-lock" the bootloader too should I want to sell the phone?
Thanks for your help!
 
Checking that thread it looks like a TWRP backup. So what you need to do is go into TWRP, connect the phone to the PC and paste the file into the TWRP folder. Then, wipe /system, /data and the cache partitions with TWRP and then select the "Restore" option, selecting the TWRP backup. Then reboot the phone and see if it boots into Sense. If it does, then your phone is back to stock ROM wise. Go back into TWRP and connect it back up to the PC, and delete the TWRP folder on the phone. Now go into fastboot mode and then with fastboot do the following with the stock reovery you downloaded:
Code: 
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

This will flash the stock recovery, once that's done do:
Code: 
fastboot reboot

Now your phone should be fully stock and OTA updates should work as well.

Thanks a lot for this, I owe you one :)

About to do it now, when I flash the recovery.img do I need to copy/paste the stock recovery to the phone first?
And when I connect the phone to the PC in recovery the phone doesn't show up in my computer?

The stock recovery will be in the same folder where your adb files are on the PC.

As for not being able to access your phone while in TWRP, boot normally into your phone and connect to the PC, find the TWRP -> BACKUPS folder and paste it there, then reboot back to TWRP and try to restore.

Thanks, it's literally restoring as we speak

Do you know how long it takes to restore? The blue bar seems to be full but it's not finished yet, does it take over 5-10 mins usually?

It's done
