Stuck in fastboot - No running ROM, recovery , ADB

Dear Community,

I reached a state with my mobile phone where I really do not know anymore how to proceed to get back to any running ROM on my HTC Mini 2. :angel:

I read the other threads on this topic, but they did not help my situation.

Maybe someone see's what I am missing, or what I can do about it. In the end, I would like to go back to a CM 11 / CM 13 ROM, but as I understood, I should first go back to stock to enable S-off, using a nandroid recovery backup. Then flash a new custom rom. However I am stuck without any recovery running properly. Only the hboot/fastboot menu is working, and the phone will always boot there again.

Some more info:

- ADB does not work currently. I tried Win and OSX , so I believe its the phone rejecting it.

- With stock recovery, reading in the 0P8BIMG.zip RUU file containing a 2.19.401.2 or 2.18.401.3 system fails.

- Flashing recovery TWRP 2.8.5.0 / 2.8.1.0 works, but the phone will not start it.

Code:

---

C:\Users\USER>fastboot flash recovery "Z:\Installs\HTC Mini 2\recovery-twrp-2.8.5.0.img"
sending 'recovery' (11796 KB)...
OKAY [  1.393s]

- My bootloader is ***Unlocked*** according to the fastboot screen. However, I cannot lock it :

Code:

Please let me know if I missed to provide important information.

Is there any way for me to start over on a lower level ? Or is a mobile shop / HTC my only solution left?

Thanks a lot for any feedback! :)
