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:

[HELP] Rooted phone died

Hi!

Today I made a software update for my Lenovo S580 phone and while installing the update I got an error. Now only boots in to Recovery mode.

What should i do? I ahve these options only:
- Reboot
- Apply udpate from ADB
- Apply update from external SD Card
- Apply update from internal SD Card
- Wipe data\factory reset
- Wipe cache partition
- System partition check --> when i do this, it drops me back with this message: "system have been Root!".

Please help!

My phone died

2 weeks and it's a paperweight. Touch screen wouldn't respond to any touches, although the s pen still worked and could work the phone.

Waiting on ATT to send me a replacement next week.

{DISCUSSION} Xperia Z died what's next ?!

i'm and Xperia Z owner i have had it since 2,5 years and one month ago i lost it due to water damage "somehow"

i sent it to the service center and they told me after 3 weeks of checking that the water got inside the phone and damaged the motherboard of it and it will take almost the same price as a new phone to fix it .
so now i have to buy a new phone unfortunately...

the Xperia Z was such a great phone for me all was great (except the low voice ) and now i'm in dilemma shall i go for Sony again or shall i change ? i'm disappointed of the new versions of sony Z3 Z3+ they have no such differences of the Z2 however the Z3+ has less flaps so more comfortable to use and less damageable i hate Samsung tho they have a great S6 edge but hell no for the touchwiz maybe Htc m9 ?

what do you think guys any experiences you want to share with me ?
