I've been using HC first leak for two months, so far is okay. Is it worth to upgrade to the second leak? It's so painful if I must revert to GB before upgrade to the HC second leak just to get minor improvement, or even getting some new problems.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
There is a list of what's different if you read the thread. Nothing earthshaking. You don't have to revert but its recommended if you can revert. US Flyers cannot revert so they are just flashing the new system image and boot image. If you have 3g , you would have to revert 1st to flash the new radio.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
I can't tell you whether it is worth it for you to do the upgrade.

The improvements are not night and day but they are definitely there. The user interface is a little snappier. The mail widget works.

It was worth it for me. I feel like this is a release quality leak.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
Ah I figured it out - I had tried to power off the Flyer but it didn't power off. That's when the auto rotate stopped working.

Powering off the Flyer still doesn't work for me. I've left the Flyer overnight but it's still on, back to normal.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hasseye:
awesome news that HTC is actually committed to bringing HC to the Flyer. It's now almost a guarantee that HTC is bringing a final version soon, instead of possible bailing on us like before.

As a Spring EVO View 4G owner tho, it's a little discouraging we still have yet to have anything to play with though :( Coming from what you guys are saying that there still is significant work needed, it's a little disappointing and hopefully Sprint/HTC are working on a different branch to bring this to us ASAP.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Lets hope. Typically the cell carrier will announce a couple of weeks ahead of time when there is a major upgrade coming. Sprint is not going to announce anything until they are sure its working. If the cameras still don't work with video chat and other apps, then its not ready for prime time yet.

is anyone able to power off or reboot their flyer anymore? mine wont do it. i have to use the volume up/down power button restart method to do it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] barry99705:
I can reboot, but hitting power off reboots as well.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lawguy:
Yes. The power/restart button works normally for me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
when i try it appears to power down, and the screen shuts off, however i hit the power button and its still in android. what could be causing this guys?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] barry99705:
I spoke too soon.. Now it doesn't power off or reboot. Screen rotation quit as well.:mad: When I try to do a reboot from the terminal I get a permission denied, even as root. Poweroff doesn't seem to exist.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] M@|ice:
so im not alone.....sigh.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
IS everyone having this issue or only the folks who are on Best buy flyer and did not revert to GB having this issue?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tangcla:
I can reboot but not power off. But if you've gone to the power menu and tried to power off, you won't be able to reboot and the rotation sensor stops working. Hard reboot required.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Brau0303:
Same boat here as I noted in Pauls thread.

My guess is anyone that did not revert to GB regardless of BB, 3G since we did not apply the other new files Radio, Boot, Etc.

so let me get this straight, for i am contemplating on buying a flyer. so theres no turning back once installing hc on the flyer?so this means there's no clockwork recovery or any kind of recovery app available at this time? in if no, is there one in the works?

None of those statements are true. And we now have a revert path.

Sup guys, this is what happens when I don't check the forums for a weekend: theres a new leak, the world ends, there's some hope, everything's impossible, breakthrough, new methods, light at the end of the tunnel.......

I'll get back to reading all these threads and trying to catch up LOL good work everyone.

-BB Flyer 16gb running first HC leak

worst case scenario is that you'll get a headache but you'll eventually fix it via help from the forum, OR send it back to HTC where they will probably fix it for free or charge you an insignificant fee.

Can someone please help? I am unable to execute following step. It just hangs after I select bootloader. Its probably because I got an error "Unable to install recovery" while tring to get s-off using revolutionary. What should I do?

"fastboot flash recovery revolutionary-cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.hboot0010.img"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
I had tried that, but it was not working at that time. I got an error "device not recognised" I ended up reapplying GB RUU and starting from scratch and it worked.

Lesson for me and others: If you get an error applying revolutionary recovery during the leak2 upgrade DO NOT GO TO NEXT STEP. Make sure Revolutionary CWR gets installed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
What is the ramifications if step 12 fails or can not be completed? I would presume no hboot or a bad one spells bad fortune for your device. I ask because I want to understand everything prior to attempt and obviously this is not something you can test out for ****s and giggles

Regarding the command itself, it is first pushing the file then removing the old and placing the new? Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cnewsgrp:
This is what happened to me

I ran revolutionary.exe. s-off was successful. Then it asked, do you want to install Clockwork Recovery. I said "Y". I got an error message "Unable to download and install recovery"

I thought that I already had recovery since I was on BrightStar RUU so I could ignore and move on to the next step. In hindsight that was probably a mistake

Next I executed following steps

It failed at step 11. I would see HTC screen and just hang there. I was able to use Power & Volume buttons to go to fastboot & bootloader screen, but never into recovery. I thought let me install recovery (step 15). I don't recall 100%, but now I think it worked, but still no recovery. This was probably because I did not have new HBOOT (you need to be in recovery for that).

I used power buttons to get to fastboot screen and reran the BrightStar RUU and started over and completed successfully this time. It is likely that I could have installed Clockwork Recovery image at that time since I had access to fastboot but did not know where to get one. The image we have on step 15 did not work for me at that time because HBOOT was not updated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nihil47:
Hi all, I would like to know if the custom recovery systems is customized for each Android phone or you can flash a custom basis for all recovery.

Let me explain:

I purchased a cell phone with Android 2.3.4 Star A3. dual sim with 1 WDMA (UMTS) and GSM 1, I have found some new images of the system (boot) with several improvements, but before proceeding with the flash of the system I wanted to do a full backup with the image of the boot and all the NAND. Now I am in the condition that the recovery of the mobile phone there is a backup of nand and the whole system and so I have to install a recovery detailed "Custom Recovery." So I flash a custom recovery, but for my Star A3 I found only two custom solutions, 1 in Chinese and 1 in Russian and then indecipherable.

Now I've found some versions of custom calls recovery "recovery clockwork," but not for my star. Well you think you can flash it anyway. And if you can not be a brick that I give my mobile and if they do not always be possible rifleshare a custom disaster recovery "perhaps the Russian or Chinese?"

thanks

I know I will almost indefinitely be flamed for asking this, but oh well here goes.

When I first got my AT&T SGS2, I installed an international rom (villain) It ran perfectly fine other than the fact calls were not operating properly. I immediately jumped ship though scared for my phone's life. I reflashed stock and AT&T modem, but now that I think back on it- wouldn't having flashed the at&t modem remedied that problem? and if truly need be couldn't an at&t version kernel be flashed( i.e. Entropy's DD) Everything seemed to operate perfectly fine (install went well, booted properly, smooth homescreen, apps running great)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
In theory, replacing kernel/modem (and making sure the ROM doesn't include a bootloader) should work - however this is untested.

I'm going to be trying it tonight with SensatioN, as I did like that ROM when "hellraised" on Infuse and someone requested it, and it's about time someone tries to do a "hellraise" on an I9100 ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1328110 - Once I get permission to do so from the SensatioN ROM dev, I'll post it in dev as a proof-of-concept with details of what I did to port it.

Note that I don't have too much time to continue maintenance of a ROM - it's not where my skillset lies and between Real Life and kernel work, I'm pretty busy as is! :) But at least this will provide a starting point for those that want to go further.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
you're correct bro. ports from i9100 roms are very possible. the one thing you will need to do is change some of the lib and bin files to rid the issues with the mic on in calls. i think ive successfully ported just about most of the i9100 dev section so far. lol. for personal use only. if you need some help just let me know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hammersuit:
Ha! Completely understandable. Thank you so much though, this proof-of-concept is wonderful news. It would be most beneficial to see some ports of well-supported GT-I9100 roms such as villain and DLEV rom etc.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Which files are those? I tried to find the relevant CM7 commit (since they had mic issues in calls) but couldn't find it.

I know that turning Samsung Noise Reduction off (or on? It's freaking unclear whether "on" is the current state or destination state in the menus) seems to work around the problem on a per-call basis.

I'm with SGS2 and I connect without problems to a WPA2/PSK (AES) WiFi, so the phone should work.

How have you loaded the configuration of the WiFi?

In my case since is hidden, I've added it manually (maybe you could try to do so if you configured automatically). Also check the MAC if you have a MAC Filter (maybe is not included and the phone wont connect).

It should work from stock, so maybe the problem is something in the configuration of the device.
