HTC one mini 2 - Died during software update

Hi guys,

I have searched number of forums but have not been able to fix this phone.
Basically I have HTC One Mini 2 which have died (run out of battery) during software update.
Now it will not boot, it will not go into recovery. I have only fastboot mode accessible.

Important: Phone is locked and I cannot unlock it it. I'd loose all pictures when doing so.
This what I'm trying to avoid.
The goal is to get all the pictures from the device.

The phone is not mine, but this is not important right now. My friend asked me for help here.
We just need to get the pictures from the device.
There was no memory card so everything should be stored on 'data' partition.

fastboot getvar all returns this:

Code:
