The radio etc should be in the folder containing fastboot. These are flashed using fastboot from the folder on your pc/mac/box etc to your phone.

Do you know how to use adb/fastboot? If you do, you should know this. If you don't, please Google the hell out of it before you start. Make sure you know what's what and that fastboot works for you.

I don't want to be a ****, but I'm reluctant to help you as I fear that I might become partly responsible for you making a nasty and expensive mistake. Plus also I have to go out in a short while and won't be around to help you if you need it later.

If you are unsure, please please Google around for adb and fastboot and make sure you have everything installed and running on your computer if you are going to proceed.

Someone else here might be of more help, if they have to time to write out detailed instructions. Sorry, I don't have time just now but there are also plenty of online guides.

Just be careful :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TDQuiksilver:
I guess what's keeping most of us US 16GB Wifi Flyer owners from running this is the fact that we don't have a RUU to go back to stock if a problem were to arise. It's what keeps flashing safe should something go wrong... a bummer really, because I'd love to run this. :(

Anybody working on a CWM-flashable version?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] geek78:
Even with the ruu you can't go back
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TDQuiksilver:
I understand that. Guess I should have implied "failsafe" instead of RUU.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.J.Su:
There are a lot of apps that was available to either 2.x and typical Honeycomb devices cannot be found in the Market. It didn't bother me so much in the beginning, but I keep having to side load bunch of apps, it's starting to really irritates me.

I hope this is just an compatibility bug on beta. Has anyone have this problem and have a solution for this?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nobnut:
Try changing your device fingerprint in build.prop.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sookieball:
Had a "? " about the honeycomb i run and love.

At some point during flashing HC to my wifi only flyer,

Was there a step to s-off?

I can flash the custum roms and flash nandroids but my hboot says

Xxx. 0006

:?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.J.Su:
Thanks! Is there a particular fingerprint I should change to? and where can I find this fingerprint code?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nobnut:
In build.prop look for ro.build.fingerprint. xxx and change it to whatever your other device has in that line.

BACKUP THE FILE FIRST.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.J.Su:
Ok. I'll give it a try.

Thank you!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
If you have flashed the Honeycomb RUU, is there any way to unbrick? Because I heard @pndo1 saying that once you ran the RUU, your permanently bricked.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] twinturbor:
So I have a problem. Followed all the steps so far very well. The part I'm stuck on is after unlocking the bootloader. Once I finished it my 16gb bestbuy wifi only flyer is back to s-on. And now I can't do the next step which to flash the revo recovery img. Do I need to flash the stock ruu and start over or is there a way out?? Please help...

so after leaving out for a while powered off and plugged into my charger. i just tried to flash the recovery image and it worked. even with the s-on, is that normal??? i've got honeycomb now and its awesome flashing flyhoney0.2.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
When I try to use fastboot I get I line that says fastboot not recognized. I can type fastboot windows devices and the flyer shows up though
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] triniboi:
Step 17

Flash the Honeycomb system zip by copying / pushing to sdcard (adb shell mount /sdcard && adb push stock-hc-flyer-system.zip /sdcard/) then using the on screen menus.

A bit lost here. Which Honeycomb system zip file is he referring to here?.

Edit: Just realised the file was not downloaded properly. Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbmitchell:
I've got a bootloop. Any suggestions on what I should look at to track down my problem?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbmitchell:
Nevermind. I figured out what I did. I will not repeat it. It is pretty embarrassing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
I'm stuck at this step too. I get advanced help menu. When you say destination do you mean like /sdcard?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbmitchell:
Are you remembering to go into recovery before you push and do you have an sd card in the device?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
Yes and yes. Thanks for your reply btw. Ya I'm in cwm there's an external card in
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
Anybody?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
All you need to do is put a "/" at the end of the command. (Without the parentheses I'd course.) That's what my problem was.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
Tried that (I think) I tried so much stuff. It said not valid file or directory after I stopped adb and started. I don't understand that though. I know the hboot is in the platform tools folder with adb and fastboot. I can still get into hboot and recovery so I shut her down and going to bed. Ill get it tomorrow. Oh and is there a space before the /?

If anyone where to be around tomorrow to help me via gtalk or irc that would rule. I'm obviously very very new to adb lol.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aurelienv:
for me

after re-install SDK android and adb work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
Also, if I get cold feet how would I roll back to gb after flashing the Hc radio and boot.img
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Well what version flyer do you have? (us 16 gb or the 32 gb )
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
Us 16g
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
I also have the 16 gb and there is no ruu for us to run if we want to unbrick or roll back that i know of. When i switched to honeycomb i just took the risk anyway and relied on my knowledge of adb and fastboot from the past to get through. Which steps have you done so far if any?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
I flashed the radio and boot.img stuck on the adb push step. Says invalid directory. The hboot is in the right file on my PC so idk why wouldn't restoring a nandroid replace the new boot.img? The radio idk about though although its a wifi only device?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
So the hboot is in the platform-tools folder? or wherever adb is located on your computer? hm. and when you type in: adb push stock-hc-flyer-hboot_1.11.0006.nb0 /

that gives you the help list? do me a favor and copy and paste that command making sure to include the forward slash and tell me what happens.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
Ok ill do it when I get home soon, although last night it either said the help menu, or stat: stock-hc-flyer-hboot_1.11.0006.nb0 is invalid file or directory. And it is in the platform-tools folder
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
Got it! I'm an idiot didn't unzip hboot lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Awesome!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
Thanks for your trying to help me Gumby. Appreciate it. I'm glad your flyer got better after you bent it btw
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
No problem man. And yeah me too I would've been super pissed if I didn't fix it lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] triniboi:
Hey guys after I flashed HC on my 16GB Wifi Flyer I see S-On. It was S-OFF before flashing HC. Is that normal?

I guess I can't flash a another HC ROM on the flyer being S-On. :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gbmitchell:
Mine did that as well but I was still able to flash fly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] triniboi:
I guess maybe because the device is unlocked via the htc developers site you can flash with s-on. I'm not sure, but anyway thanks for your response. Going to give flyhoney a go...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oneseeker:
Just flashed honeycomb on my Best Buy US wifi only Flyer. Had to choose UK English, and defaults are European, but it works flawlessly (so far anyway).

BUT, the pen/stylus now works like it always should have! This is huge for me, because it is the reason why I chose the Flyer. No more automatic screenshots, now I can use the stylus to select options and write in non-HTC apps.

I'm loving my Flyer again!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ricwhic414:
NVM its working perfectly. Im an idiot. Great work guys.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hasseye:
Hey guys,

Any idea when the official software update should be released? Any leaked info yet telling it?

I care because i have the evo view and we'll prob got the update after you guys do...so anxious though.

Hows the stlyus work? Hows their notes app work? On gingerbread it juts seems slow and laggs a lot..its always saving and "waiting" too...managable, but def tedious and irrating.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sickwitit:
I managed to mess up my flyer 16gb when I tried to load HC the first time so I had to send it to HTC to be reflashed. They reflashed it with software 2.27.1540.31 when my original was 1.36.1540.32. My question is can I change the CID to a different number so i can load a different RUU software so when i try to load HC again I can have something to roll back to if I mess it up again?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] johnchad14:
Really digging honeycomb on my WiFi Flyer now that I got it up and running. Was a bit scared with no ruu clearly stated to use for mine but had no actual problems with update so all good. Just followed instructions closely. Did have to power and vol up then power and vol down to get out of bootloop at end of htc site unlock step.

Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] veria100:
I found somethings about my WiFi problem!

I removed my SIM and wipe data / factory reset, wow WiFi working fine!

Then I inserted the SIM and problem appeared again immediately!

WiFi does not work until I remove the SIM and wipe data again.

Any idea? what I can do?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lpasq:
thanks to all trailblazers for work done so that my 16gb wifi best buy flyer now rocks HC.

anyone know how to get pass the htc unlock screen, it wont let me select yes with the power button.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Did you flash the radio?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rbebber:
yes, and when i try to flash the sprint ruu, i het a hboot error
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Well if you did that you either:

1. Tried to run an RUU on the wrong device

2. Already installed honeycomb on the wrong device...neither will work.

The flyer and view are not the same device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rbebber:
ok here is my issue:

followed the hc flashing instructions, , flashed all until the htc unlocker, wouldnt let me hit yes with the power button, can get to fastbook and bootloader.

tried to run the sprint ruu from the sticky, but it give a bootloader version error, now i am stuck, any ideas? i am still able to fastboot and bootloader it.

hboot 1.11.006

radio 1.05.11.0531

32gb view from sprint.

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------

its a 32gb sprint view
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Without being able to boot to recovery or unlock the hboot to allow fastboot flashing you are completely stuck. You have no choice but to send it back for re-imaging.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Unythios:
Wait.......if all you need is a nand backup of the stock rom to get RUU then why in the hell do people say there isn't one for the Best Buy US WiFi only Flyer????

Are you sure this works in order to recover from a HC failure??????
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Yeah, my only suggestion is to very carefully try the HTC unlock steps again. You have to get past that. At this point you cannot go back. Otherwise go head in hand to the vendor and say when I turn it on it does this and look puzzled.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
It will only work if you don't have the new HBOOT.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rbebber:
Thanks, anyone know how much and how long to send to htc to get reflashed? This is the 1st time Ive ever had an issue flashing anything, I was hoping the ruu would be the lifeline, but I guess not.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Wait did you try to do this on the View?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rbebber:
Yes, 32g view from sprint
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
This procedure only works on the flyer. If the ruu isn't working then you need to send it in to HTC :/
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rbebber:
Damn, i assumed it worked on the view, as i saw the 16g was a no go for the ruu.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
rbebber, there is a very slim chance I might be able to do something for you, but it will be tomorrow before I can look at it.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxdc5:
YES YES

I've been flashing stuff and hopping from ROM to ROM forever on my Incredible....but there's no way I can do like half of the steps in this process LOL
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
alright, im pretty nervous to try this so im gonna rely on the community for some help. steps 1-7 are easy for me, as i know how to download of course and i have the device unlocked and revolutionary on here already, its everything from step 8 forward im nervous about or slightly confused.

at this point should i just load up adb shell or whatever the exact name of it is on my computer through DOS and run these commands? just copy and paste them as they are in the steps?

step 9 for instance...."Flash your device's radio with the Honeycomb radio with the fastboot command 'fastboot flash radio stock-hc-flyer-radio.img'""

how does one do this? im at work right now and just seeing with my thunderbolt what im gonna be doing tonight when i try this, and i got into HBOOt on my phone and found fast boot, went in there and theres a few options like bootloader, reboot, etc. would i just go here on the flyer and leave it on this screen and run the commands through ADB?

thanks for helping me learn this...excited to get this on my new flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RMarkwald:
Yes, you'd put that radio .img file in the directory where fastboot lives (SDK's Tools folder), and CD to the directory where you have your SDK (Example, mine is C:\SDK\tools). From once there, you'd type that command into the command prompt window with your device hooked up via USB.

When you run Step 8 (which you'd also type into a command prompt window), that'll put your device where it needs to be in order to run step 9 and beyond.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
so its just as simple as it looks im just getting nervous over nothing. its just copying the downloads into the sdk/tools directory, and copy and pasting commands into command prompt yes?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
well im stuck already. must have spent over 2 hours downloading those files, ill never be deleting those thats for sure.

so i got all the files and dropped them into my c:/sdk/tools folder for safe keeping. i attempted the first command and heres what i got...

what could i have possibly done wrong? ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
adb is located in the platform-tools folder. Fastboot is located in the tools folder.

So if you are running an adb command make sure you cd to platform-tools
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
i ended up figuring it out, i was putting "adb" before the commands. i stopped doing that and they worked. i now have everything running great and ever installed the flyrom rom today. this is great. thanks all for your help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RMarkwald:
Correct. To make things easier for me I just copied fastboot.exe to platform-tools, so it exists in both locations. Sorry about that, I should've stated that, my bad, thanks for clarifying Gumby63!

:)

EDIT: You got it working, good job bro! Wasn't that bad now right?!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
not at all. once i figured out the commands didnt need adb in them the entire process probably only would have taken 15 min maybe. the worst part was downloading the files.....wow that took forever.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] milomak:
adb shell puts you into the units shell interface which is why you do not need the adb in front.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
ah, see that i didnt know. so if i was just at c:\sdk\tool i would use the adb before each command? shell kinda throws it on there automatically?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxdc5:
welp... I'm noobing it up in here.

Think I've got everything.... just waiting for everything to boot up
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxdc5:
Sub question;

I can't just continue from step 9 by flashing everything from the recovery menu? Like If I stored all the files on an sd card?

edit: I did everything using adb once I figured that out. But kinda still want to know if I coulda just flashed everything from recovery from my zip
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Well I did this guide without ever using adb shell. Just curious, why are you?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxdc5:
For some reason the Google music beta app from ics won't install. Anyone have better luck than I?

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
I'm done! Was scared when my phone didn't boot up past the HTC splash screen, but turns out I hadn't flashed stock-hc-flyer-boot :eek:

You'd probably have better luck if you ask in an appropriate new thread in Q&A...I can't answer because I haven't tried.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxdc5:
It's more or less in the appropriate thread. Everyone else running this ROM will most likely encounter the same problem, so it could be helpful to diagnose the issue together.

ics music works on every other device I've tried it on, I've only encountered problems with it on honeycomb. So here I am. I figured other people would have this issue as well since the app is so popular right now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
so there is absolutely no way we WIFI only owners can upgrade to this either? we cannot revert to gingerbread, now we cannot get the new HC leak either, this sucks. :(

there has got to be a way, there just has too. in the world of android, the word "cant" barley exists....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
Maybe by fastboot flashing every piece seperately
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
Oh that sounds complicated and confusing. :( sigh....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
No go, you can't flash the radio.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aostl:
And it probably won't boot with old radio? Even though its wifi only?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lpasq:
last resort is return to HTC for factory reset...as you probably already know. what does it take for an ruu to become available? i am not clear on what an ruu is exactly other than it being a reset flash to OEM and the soft/firm-ware components as such...excuse the noobidity
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
id like to learn as well. :) i feel kind of lost.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
RUU is Rom Update Utility. It's a complete system wipe flash to stock update used when a update patch is not possible. It's keyed to a particular model and checks to make sure before it installs. Some models have never received a full update (US wifi for example) so no RUU ( in public ) exist for them. HTC does have a universal RUU that they use if you return a bricked unit, but we don't have a copy of that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lpasq:
Is a RUU package only created/available/released by OEM or can one be created by some extract and compile method? Thanks for sharing information :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
With S-OFF in theory anyone can create an RUU, with S-ON only the OEM (HTC) can do it because they have the private keys used for signing the RUU.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
now that you mentioned S-OFF isn't there a guide on here with steps on how to gain S-OFF? wouldn't that help us to perform the needed steps?

and since you seem to have a wealth of knowledge and we are interested to learn, can you define what exactly S-OFF and S-ON are? whats the "S"? (just noticed YOU wrote the guide) :)

now did i lose S-Off (whatever it is and means) when i did the honeycomb install? because i used your guide to root initially when i got this thing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
You lost S-OFF with the Honeycomb upgrade.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
Figured that did it. Bummer. I still have faith, this isn't permanent, someone will figure a way around it. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lpasq:
:( now i know... ...next time that will be my first effort... S-OFF and create enviornment to package a RUU file :mad:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxdc5:
Mine is WiFi only and I went through this process and installed the HC leak just fine...

PS I have S-off
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
Not the 'new' leak that came out last night though
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxdc5:
ahhhhhhhh.... there's always a "new"

time to figure out how to make that one work. LOL. give it a few days
