If I have convinced you, or if you want to learn more about this operation, don’t hesitate and check the guidelines from below.

CM 11 is a free aftermarket distribution of Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS and is developed by third party devs, which means that the update isn’t official and has nothing to do with HTC or with Google. Furthermore, installing CM11 on your HTC One Mini for updating to Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware implies in completing an unofficial tutorial that is complex and risky. Because of that, don’t perform things without consulting this guide. Don’t worry, the flashing operation can be easily applied even by a newbie but only as long as the guidelines from below are being checked out.

CM11 can be used on your HTC One Mini also for improving the performances of your Android smartphone. Using this custom Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware will be perfect for those who want to speed up the One Mini or to improve the battery life of their handset. Moreover, CM11 will bring a custom and modified version of the stock Android KitKat OS while stock and extra features, capabilities and apps will be then installed on your phone. On the same time, with CM11 flashed, you will have access to the internal system of your HTC One Mini, thus you will be able to remove in built programs, the bloatware and also to add or remove custom apps and programs.

CM11 for HTC One Mini brings a stable version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat OS that runs without issues or lags. According to those who have already installed the update, the software is smoothly running and there are no bugs reported so far. Therefore, as you can see, you have all the reasons for completing this step by step guide. But first, take a look below and complete the pre requisites list.

• Root your HTC One Mini or else you won’t be able to install CM11 Android 4.4.2 firmware on your Android smartphone.
• Gaining root access isn’t official and the binary flash counter of your phone will be increased. Because of that, after rooting your smartphone, its warranty will be void.
• For restoring the warranty downgrade your HTC One Mini to stock Android OS, or update with an official release of the firmware – do note that on rooted devices the OTA releases can be installed only manually.
• Install a custom recovery image on your phone because CM11 can be updated only by using the same.
• Use the latest version of CWM or TWRP recovery or else you won’t be able to safely update your HTC One Mini to Android 4.4.2 KitKat firmware.
• Make a backup for saving everything that’s important to you – save only the data which is there on the internal storage memory. Do the backup because a wipe will be required.
• For the backup you can use suitable apps from Google Play; also use the recovery image you have installed for making a Nandroid backup – for saving the current ROM and for restoring it afterwards if CM11 will not be on your taste.
• Use a computer and your phone’s SUB cable as a connection between your devices will have to be established.
• In order to make things right, first of all temporarily deactivate the security protection from your computer; programs like antivirus might interfere with the update operation.
• Also charge your handset if the battery status indicates less than 50% power left; if your HTC One Mini gets turned off in the middle of the installation process, it might also get bricked.
• Use this step by step guide for flashing CM11 Android 4.4.2 KitKat custom ROM firmware only if you own the HTC One Mini Android smartphone; the steps from below are compatible only with the mentioned device, so try not to mess things up.

• It is more than recommended to backup the data which is being saved on the internal storage memory of your device before starting the root operation. Make sure you are saving all of your personal info from your phone, as all the system might get wiped out
• Enable the USB debugging option on your handset. You can do this by going to “Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging”.
• Also, take a look over the battery status; if there is less than 60% power left you should charge the battery, else skip this step.
• You will have to use a Windows running computer and the phone’s USB cable.
• On the computer and handset there shouldn’t be any security settings or programs (like antivirus or Firewall protection) installed; if different uninstall or deactivate the same before going any further.
• Apply this guide only if you have an Android based device as the one-click root solution will work only for the same.
