HTC One Mini 2 - bootloop/issue?

[AC Question]

Hi,

I bought a HTC One Mini 2 through giffgaff just under a month ago, but for some unknown reason I'm getting a peculiar issue. I checked my phone about an hour ago and it was turned off, when I turned it back on it loaded a white screen with code within it with a message stating:

*LOCKED*
MEM_UL PVT SHIP S-ON
HBOOT 3.18.0.0000
RADIO-INVALID_VER_INFO ?
OpenDSP-INVALID_VER_INFO ?
OS 2.16.401.1
eMMC-boot 1024MB

I have absolutely no idea what this means, my phone isn't rooted which I've read can cause an issue....

Hopefully someone can help me out! Some suggestions highlight taking the battery out (don't know how to with the Mini 2) or resetting the phone. When I try the factory reset or recovery, nothing happens.

Thanks!

Welcome to Android Central! Are you able to boot into Recovery following these steps? http://forums.androidcentral.com/ht...ow-reboot-into-stock-recovery-htc-one-m8.html

I'm assuming the steps for the M8 will be the same for the One MIni 2.
