[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] clubtech:
Try to run the RUU of the original ROM you came from before installing HC while in fastboot mode.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] peterhao:
Ok now. Thanks

Can't downgrade in Linux :(

What was done:

Go to fastboot mode, plug the Flyer, write in the console

./fastboot oem lock
... INFOLock successfully...
FAILED (status read failed (Cannot send after transport endpoint shutdown))

Extract rom.zip from RUU

In fastboot mode, write in the console:

./fastboot oem rebootRUU
... INFOerase sector 163328 ~ 163839 (512)
OKAY

Next:

./fastboot flash zip ./rom.zip
sending 'zip' (507706 KB)... OKAY
writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOsignature checking...
INFOzip header checking...

[B]FAILED (remote: 43 main version check fail)[/B]

That's all...

Try to flash PG41IMG.zip from goldcard without success - it wrote, that "main is older" and exit

To go back to HC I perform bootloader unlock again. Any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] clubtech:
I can confirm this works though i didnt use a gold card but simply flash the RUU i came from before installing HC and it works just fine.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Scabes24:
Can you include some info about your device please..?

Sent from my HTC Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ninkustar:
During the first initial bootup using the goldcard, it will read the PG41IMG.zip and flash the hboot and radio first. After which, it will perform a restart and re-read the PG41IMG.zip again and continue with the rest of the partition.

Hmm... I tried running the RUU but hit with a customer ID error. I didn't flash using console but through goldcard. What is the info of your device.

I was previously on 1.48.707.3. I used the goldcard to upgrade it to 2.23.405.3. From there I s-off and upgrade it to HC. Mine is a Flyer 32GB 3G+Wifi.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] i00:
I confirm ... just re-lock the bootloader and re-install via the RUU exe ... make sure u have the fastboot drivers installed first

Kris
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ninkustar:
I have expanded the first post with more details. Hope it helps. If you need me to expand further, do let me know.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] i00:
Seems a lot of un-nessassary instructions ... and just adds a lot of room for user error...

Follow steps 1-4 then run the RUU exe...

Gold cards do not work on the Flyer anyway ... and since step 2 states "RUU file for your device" ... the RUU will already be for your device so no gold card will be needed anyway!

Kris
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ninkustar:
Gold card works for Flyer, at least that's how some upgrade their Flyer with a different CID. In my case, the RUU did not work. I had to use the gold card method to downgrade. So I guess the situation differs.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] foggy69:
Using the RUU didn't work. I kept getting a 'error[131]: customer id error'.

I made up the goldcard and it worked like a dream.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kokkein:
Working well using goldcard method... thanks... :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ilovepiaggio:
When you in Gb again :

- How about you Hboot ,s-on or s-off. Locked,unlocked or relocked?

- Can you flash ship RUU

- Can you flash recovery, root and install cook Rom ?

- Can you flash to Hc again?

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mikecoffee:
grrrr mmmmm

Again i can confirm this works if you followed pauls guide, just lock the bootloader and just re flash your RUU boom back to gingerbread and then unlock via revolutionary

Simples .......

or follow the guide for the long winded method.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] i00:
- How about you Hboot ,s-on or s-off. Locked,unlocked or relocked?

Is factory settings - as it was when purchased... device is locked but can be unlocked again

- Can you flash ship RUU

Yes (only for your model)

- Can you flash recovery, root and install cook Rom ?

Yes

- Can you flash to Hc again?

Yes

Kris
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] westbrand1:
This is an example of a really great instruction worked without problems. Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
So I'm not sure if I'm missing something... is there anything to stop installation of a cooked ROM from CWM recovery? :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rock4mayo:
sorry noob question....,how to do step 4? i tried to write "fastboot oem lock", but command prompt did not recognized it

thanks

edit : still no go with RUU and gold card method, cid error :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] keithleyson:
Is it possible to use a different RUU with this method?

The reason I ask is, before I did Paul's guide installing HC, I have already updated my Flyer with the OTA. I tried using the shipped RUU of my Flyer and I got an ERROR[130] when running the RUU directly after I have relocked the bootloader again. The RUU I am looking for now is 2.27.707.1 which I think does not exist since this 2.27.707.1 is an OTA not a shipped version.

Any idea on the matter is much appreciated.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sylph:
Yes, Possible

Yes, very possible and without 'goldcard'. I just RUU mine with a higher shipped rom.

I used this version "RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_HK_2.27.708.1_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204709_signed". You can find it from the link at the first post. Yes, I know it's chinese. But, you can change language to english in the setup wizard. So, not a big deal.

I followed step 1 - 4 of this guide, then I run the RUU.

Now, I'm back at GB.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rock4mayo:
strange..i tried with all ruu and doing step 1-4 with and without goldcard method with cid error
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sylph:
What is your version before HC? Should be able to see when you try to RUU your device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rock4mayo:
2.00.405.3
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MindController:
I couldn't get my gold card to work properly. I tried 2 different sd cards and followed the instructions closely.

I also tried relocking my device and going from there, but that too did not work.

For me, the issue is probably because I can't find a 1.36.1540.32 RUU. I suppose there just isn't one out there.

I have tried 2 different versions of various RUU's, but they have both failed, either citing unknown error or a cid error.

So it appears I am stuck with honeycomb indefinitely. Which sucks, because half the apps I use are either not available with honeycomb, or just work strangely.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] keithleyson:
Thanks.

I'll try it out someday butright now I kind of enjoy HC. Well except that alot of my games are not working now but still having most of the news readers and google apps being better in HC, and I think I'll stick with this for awhile.

Thanks again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
Can someone explain what the above statement means in a little more detail? How do I know what my RUU is?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] keithleyson:
before you upgrade to honeycomb using Paul's guide, you should have a backup firmware similar to the one that is currently on your Gingerbreab flyer. The RUU file should match your original firmware.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] keithleyson:
just to update.

I was able to downgrade my Flyer back to GB but using a different RUU than what it originally had using the GoldCard method. Running the RUU directly resulted in an ERROR[131] which is the wrong Customer ID error.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
Thanks. How do I do that?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] keithleyson:
Go to Settings > About tablet > Software information

Under software number you'll see your firmware. With this number, you can use it to compare and search for the matching RUU in the list of RUUs found linked in Paul's guide or in the XDA Flyer Development forum (shipped ROMs for flyer).

Recently I was able to downgrade my Flyer from Honeycomb to Gingerbread using the Goldcard method - essentially a way to allow you to install any RUU you want - but it is an advanced method and a leap faith. A Goldcard method of updating the firmware can be found in the XDA forums and in the Monaco forums.

I highly suggest to read up on the following topics first before doing anything:

Making a Goldcard

Issuing ADB commands

Extracting ROM from RUU

Proper Command Window usage

Paul's guide (modaco forum)

HC to GB don't downgrade (XDA flyer Development forum)

Goodluck.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
keithleyson

Which RUU did you use for the goldcard. I have a US BB Flyer which I believe is the same model as yours, but I tried a couple of the RUU with gold card and it error our with "wrong model number" I know there is no exact match RUU for the US wifi only.

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rock4mayo:
I was able to downgrade gb using goldcard method, need 5 sd card to try and succes.

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
It would be really helpful for all you posters to do a little better than just a nebulous post of "i had success"/ Please share the details of what model and RUU you are using. For example I have a US wifi only Best Buy HTC Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rock4mayo:
hey i tried many times and doing step by step to follow th 1st post.

you must keep reading and trying, try another sd card if yours failed or had some cid error.

i thought 1st post instruction was correct.

I had been asked and no one help me too, so keep trying....ok

just for information i used 2 gb Transcend sd card for goldcard and finally it works

sorry, bad english:p

cheers
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
Thanks for the details. I have been using Android rooted phones for a while now and was familiar with some of the details you mention. Your information is extremely helpful and I believe must be added to FAQ's or in the first post.

One last question. I see that the HC ROMS are 3G/Wifi ROMS. Has anyone who has Wifi only tried them? Do they work? I am getting my HTC Flyer (Wifi Only) from Best Buy today and need this info before I update to HC.

Thanks again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jrentzke:
Thank you for this! My flyer is back up & running again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I have loaded successfully three of the HC ROMs onto my US wifi Only Best Buy hTC Flyer. Including stock HC leak and Honey Flyer v0.2
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
Thanks. So following steps in the "Installing Honeycomb on your Flyer - the complete guide" should be skipped since there is no "radio" or we need alternate radio (wifi only)?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I did not skip any steps.

Be warned though. I am stuck on HC and no goldcard or other process will revert it back.

If anyone has successfully reverted a US wifi , BestBuy Flyer back to Gingerbread after HC, please advise exactly what you did includng which RUU you use
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
In that case, I will hold off. I am not an expert and will most likely cause damage to the tablet.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
What if I'm already running a custom ROM - How can I find out wuch RUU I should be using?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] keithleyson:
I used the RUU frm Hong Kong as was suggested by one of the users here. I believe it is ok to use new RUU that is of higher version that what your device came shipped with. I'm not 100% on this though but isn't it the purpose of the Goldcard method to allow you to flash roms from RUUs of the different region?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] keithleyson:
I will try to post some steps that I followed in making a Goldcard and downgrading to GB later when I get back to the office.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
That's really the question. Can you use RUU from different regions. There are no RUU for the US. Please be very specific about which model/region you have and which RUU you use.

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
I don't follow. Pardon me if I am missing the obvious. I got HTC Flyer in mail today. Its the wifi version from best buy (USA)

Here are its software details

I did a search on "Baseband version: 20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M" in following thread

[ROMs]Flyer Shipped ROM Collection and I was able to locate my RUU

Please note that there is an extra space before 30. It should be 3501.30 but is 3501. 30 instead

Is this the RUU needed to revert to GB or is there something else?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
You sure you read your software version correctly? The only one for the US BB wifi flyer I am aware of is 1.36.1540.32. The one you listed appears to be a Europe version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
You are right. Thats my software version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
yeah, no RUU available for 1.36.1540.32
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
how do I know which RUU to use if my Flyer came with a custom ROM? :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sickwitit:
I sent my best buy 16th WiFi only back to HTC to get reflashed and they flashed a different version. 2.27.1540.31
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Hummm, that's an interesting one. Does not match any of the available RUUs. Does it allow you to select English (US) for a language?

By the way, what did they charge you for the reflash?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] keithleyson:
My Flyer is from Singapore and I used the Hong Kong RUU to downgrade to GB using the GoldCard method. Running the RUU directly of course resulted in an error because of wrong CID but by extracting the rom.zip from the RUU and then using the GoldCard to flash it, I am now back to GB.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
Do you think its worth flashing HC beta roms? Why do you want to revert to GB? I am asking because currently I am on GB ROM and really want to flash HC ROM.\

Edit:

Just played around with GB and its working great. I am able to watch netflix, 720p home videos (mkv) as well using plugplayer/vplayer. Have Viber running as well. Have no reason to try HC at this time will wait for real release. Will all this work in HC ROM?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sickwitit:
They didn't charge anything. I can select English.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
There are many varieties of English available, Can you see and select English (US) ? Some versions of the ROM have English (UK) but not US.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sickwitit:
Yes I can select English (US)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
wow, that's a new one. Anyone else ever seen a US version 2.27.1540.31 ???
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
That's the official update for HTC unlock support.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Wish we could get the RUU for that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ba3abbad:
Hello guys , I m a HC user and I wanted to know if it is woth to go back to GC ( I installed Honeycomb just after buying the tablet). Regards
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
It depends on your needs and what apps you use. Main reason i went back to Gingerbread is that Skype and other apps that use the camera did not work with Honeycomb and that the mail widget would stop working routinely. Most of the other functions were better on HC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
Were you able to go to GB? Which RUU did you use?

FYI - Fix for mail widget issue

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18475056&postcount=355
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
if you have the US wifi flyer you cannot go back, Others can mostly
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
Why is that?

My biggest concern (and the reason why I haven't gone to Honeycomb yet) is my fear of being unable to update officially to HC in case something goes wrong.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Opperhoofd:
I bet there will be a rooted HC version soon after the launch of the official ROM by HTC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
You can't roll the US Wifi model back because there is no matching RUU available to perform the rollback process. If anyone has found another method, please post it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
Sorry I misunderstood. You mentioned in your earlier post, I thought you went back to GB successfully.

Did you mean to say "Main reason i want to go back to Gingerbread"?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I have two Flyers. One is stuck on HC and I cannot get back
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
ok. Got it. Thanks. GB worked fine for me, but I was very curious about HC so I installed HC yesterday. It appears I am also stuck now. Will want for official update.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thecoogster:
used this update to restore a Euro WiFi Flyer back to stock gingerbread:

RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_Wifi_2.27.1114.31_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204727_signed.exe

relocked bootloader and ran the RUU, was using gingerbread custom rom before upgrading to honeycomb. Revolutionary works after the restore and I can flash back to honeycomb
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
That's because your have a Europe model Flyer and that's a Europe RUU ROM. A couple of people have said that they used that for a US model rollback, but it did not work on my Flyer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ILRider:
I was wondering if you tried any other RUU other that the one mentioned. If so which ones. I also have a US WiFi Flyer from Best Buy currently on stock HC. I am just curious to see if I can downgrade.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I tried a couple including the WWE wifi RUU using both direct execution and gold card and got errors either CID error or "wrong model" . Someone is claiming they will soon post a universal roll back method on this forum. we shall see, I hope it works.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
Looking forward to that!

I should have just bought a 3G/Wifi Flyer, instead of importing a USB one.

great to hear that, i am from Malaysia, HTC flyer P510e, 3G version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nsxt99:
i got my done!!!!

folks that trying to revert back to GB are advise to use goldcard method, but take note on the MMC2! dont use the paste function, cause it will copy mmc1 value!

i have sucessfully revert my h-boot back to 1.10.0000, happy!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Not enough detail for me to follow what you did. I think most of us have tried the Goldcard method without success. And yes I know it's the MMC2 external SD card
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nsxt99:
hope this explain what i have done. where by i believe what brand or card or what size of card doesn't made different.

1. insert micro SD to pc & format it.

2. insert micro SD to flyer then again format it.

3. download goldcard helper & run it, note down the mmc2 reverse ID.

4. go to PSAS website & then key in the value manually!

5. once download the "goldcard.img" run HxD hex editor & follow what other have done, do take note previously in my goldcard image have only 170 string, but this time i have 180! copy & paste & overwrite removable drive 1 then safe.

6. copy & paste the rom.zip desired & rename it to PG41IMG.zip.

7. put the goldcard in flyer & boot to bootaloder.

8. by running the command from ADB, "fastboot oem lock" to relock bootloader.

9. restart bootloader & let it run thru the whole process.

10. at first round u will notice the hboot version have downgraded depend on which rom u use. after it flashed the hboot it will restart by itself.

11. after restart let the fastboot run the process 1 more time. it will update the system & others. & u are done!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
No I meant what was your original software version and model number vs. what did you flash with the goldcard?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Alastor_ru:
@nsxt99. Try to follow your instruction - got absolutly the same problem as before - at step 9 I've got "Main Version is older! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot". So, what was the difference?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
I believe the problem resides with the RUUs themselves and the checks they do before they flash the ROM. Some models will pass with some RUUs and some will not pass with any RUU. The US wifi for instance, I don't know of anyone successfully reverting to Gingerbread from HC by any means including the goldcard.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Alastor_ru:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Update your recovery image. There is no off-mode charging on HTC devices, that is handled by the recovery image so if you have anything other than a stock recovery or the recovery from revolutionary it is unlikely that you'll ever be able to charge without the device fully booted.
