[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Start off by running the mini ruu from the end of the procedure first, that will let you boot to recovery.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matthewallen72:
Tried. Can get into hboot and fastboot. No to recovery though
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
why, what happens?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matthewallen72:
I go to hboot choose fastboot, then when i choose recovery it hangs again at the htc boot screen
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
did you get to make a HC backup before you screwed up?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matthewallen72:
no, i was going to do that, but my kids were asking me to do something, and wasnt thinking, so I restored instead of backing up.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ----------

i have the honeycomb.zip on the memory card, but no way to even try and run that. should i try from fastboot?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Set up team-viewer for me and pm me the login details. I'll put you back to GB for now and you can run through the upgrade again. I have neither the time nor the remaining energy to explain a procedure right now, because I didn't get much sleep last night, but I can do it in a few minutes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matthewallen72:
ok never done a team viewer please explain how. I will send a big donate
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
go to teamviewer.com, download and run the software.

It will give you a long number and a 4 digit password, I need these two values.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
got them, just a minute.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Segnaro:
Thank you, everything went smoothly. Now I can get rid of that NASCAR app :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m00nelph:
Thanks for making rooted HC happen so dam fast Globatron, really appreciate you burning the midnight oil to get it done for X-mas! :D

(sent you a lil egg-nog money donation just now, conf: 4820574915605424C, Merry Christmas!!)

Sadly I have to wait until after dinner with the family to do it but I have something great to look forward to tonight!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Thank you Globatron, everything went just fine.

Rooted HC View, yes!

Just got my View back from HTC and they decided to change my hboot from 6.14.5556 to 1.14.0005 and "upgrade" me to HC. I was able to use htcdev to unlock my bootloader, but not sure how I go about getting my hboot to a version compatible with Revolutionary or back to 6.14.5556 (unless I can just download the 6.14.5556 file and flash it manually?). Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Heres the problem I see with this... You said they changed your hboot from 6.14.5556.... You do know that IS HC right?

To explain a bit further

6.13.1002=GB compatible

6.14.5555=HC compatible

6.14.5556=HC compatible

---------- Post added at 04:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 AM ----------

also it's not as easy as just "flashing the hboot", you have to downgrade, revolutionize and then you can "flash/update to 6.14.5556"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mumbles202:
Thanks for the link, will check it out tonight(compatible with do or windows 7?). Will i have any issues since i unlocked the bootloader? When I sent it in I had 6.14.5556 iirc and was running the Desensed rom. When I got it back it had 1.14.0005 and HC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Yes my tool is compatible with all systems. If your computers default language isnt english you will have to download the "fix" also.

Download V10 and V10.1.

Before you had 6.14.5556 HC (Desensed Rom) now your running 1.14.0005 HC (Stock).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wRexz:
does anyone still have RUU link ?

please I needed
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
which ruu?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
hmm I was on GB and I'm trying to go back to HC but then RUU posted in the OP updates the hboot and a few other things then reboots the bootloader, then it just gets stuck on "Sending....." forever.. I even tried unzipping rom.zip and flashing the images (hboot, boot, system, recovery) in fastboot and it gets stuck on sending(the hboot image will flash though) I know I had a similar issue when I went from HC to GB but I dont remember how I fixed it. I'm trying to get back to HC so I can work on seeing about porting over that Evo design 4g ics rom to the view

nevermind, I got it. I just put the rom.zip on the sdcard and changed the name and let the bootloader do it

Hie, am new here, i have a HTC Evo View 4G from Sprint, made a mistake whilst playing around with tablet and i believe i flashed wrong bootloader and the view no longer switches on, and cant get into Hboot, but if i connect to pc it is recognized as My HTC i need help flashing the bootloader and the necessary files needed.

any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the goods, now to have some fun.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
There are pros and cons.

I wanna watch my TV full-screen from Vulkano, and bottom buttons are always there.

Also, how to change the wallpaper on HC?:confused:

Edit: can't go back to GB.

Damn.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] killerb777:
Thanks for this! Only issue I ran into was when I try and go into recovery, i get a black screen with a tablet icon and a red triangle so I can install the SU zip. Anyone have any ideas on what went wrong?

edit: well tried flash the img for cwm, and it hangs on a the white screen with the htc logo. hboot states s-off and HC loads fine. vol+ doesn't go into cwm nor does it work from hboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
So how do I go back to GB?

Tried to restore GB Nandroid backup from recovery, got soft-brick HTC logo.

Help please.

I played with this thing for a while, made backup (smart guy! :D), went to recovery and tried to restore GB, did not succeed, went to recovery again and restored HC.

HC is OK, but I wll wait for the custom ROM with the ability to get rid of the soft buttons during TV/Video playback.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Incorrect.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Thanks.

So every time I want to switch from GB to HC and vice versa I have to go thru GB RUU and entire procedure?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matthewallen72:
globatron was kind enough to help me out big time. As far as going back and forth between honeycomb and gingerbread, no clue how to do that. I dont think just doing the ruu procedure will do it. Once I know how, I will try honeycomb again, however I noticed on honey now of my music on internal mem or sd card showed up, or videos I could play in gingerbread couldnt be played in honeycomb so for me, thats a huge huge drawback
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Mamma, I wanna go back too!:D

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

after following the steps and installing HC I have decided to go back.

Flashed RUU.

Now it is soft-bricked on HTC screen.

I can boot into fastboot, but can't boot into recovery.

Please help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] huntman21014:
Guys he said no support until the 27th and this is for developers only. If you screw something up you are going to have to wait until after the holidays.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
repeat step 6.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
I can't.

adb does not see the device.

Edit: never mind.

Did this.

Still cannot reboot into recovery or anything else.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TeknoJnky:
I had to flash the express mini ruu twice, but other than that, seems to be up and working.

Made no difference whatsoever.

I do have HC Nandroid backup.

Just can't get into recovery.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] huntman21014:
You made that choice by flashing a developer release with no support, the fact globatron is providing support at all tonight is amazing. Reap the consequences of flashing something, screwing it up, and having to wait until he said he would be available.

New hboot is not compatible with the old hboot.

That's the problem as I understand it.

I reflash to RUU and it can't boot with the new hboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] immjg:

100$ for help or bounty

Hey guys all is well with my view. I stupidly upgraded it to HC w/o being s-off.

So I'll PayPal someone 100 bucks to walk me through the way to downgrade back to GB if/when it's possible? Or this is a bounty.

Thanks,

Mark
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Thanks, tried this already,

Revolutionary does not see the device.

Only fastboot.

Fastboot reports the device with the serial.

adb does not.

Revolutionary gives "waiting for the device".

But thanks for helping troubleshoot.

What did we learn:

we can not go back to GB as of now.

we have to have zip file wth the old hboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] PapaDocta:
could someone please re-upload the RUU to another hosting site such as multiupload .. filefactory is not acting right and the speed is super slow
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spiicytuna:
Another tip to perhaps help someone else to not freak out. I too am on windows 7 and the first time I sent over mini ruu it failed with this message:

. . .
(bootloader) start image[hboot] flushing...
(bootloader) [RUU]WP,hboot,0
(bootloader) [RUU]WP,hboot,100
FAILED (remote: 90 hboot pre-update! please flush image again immediately)
finished. total time: 7.103s

View rebooted back to the HTC screen and I sent it over again and it worked. I also hung at 75% but the "fastboot reboot-bootloader" had me back in business.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deejayspinz:
Merry Christmas everyone. Another noob q: Before I try any of this, I keep hearing about backing up first. I have a stock View with GB on it (and a bunch of downloaded apps). I'd like to back up the unit, and have tried Titanium Backup but the device needs to be rooted. How do you do a backup or take an image of the entire system before jumping into the HC upgrade? Where do you save the back-up to?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] matthewallen72:
you must be rooted to do any kind of backup. If you want to go down that path there are instructions on the flyer android development page. once you are rooted you can backup the whole system. Please note, if you root and try HC and do not like it, its not as simple as just restoring your backup though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] deejayspinz:
So, would that be achieved by running the first step Globatron posted in this thread:

1. You must be S-OFF using revolutionary on gingerbread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nabiladeeb:
Thanks a ton globatron :D

Here is the RUU hosted at 4shared: LINK
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] killerb777:
I had to reflash the mini ruu and cwm is back up. seems like it needs a few tries to go through.

here is the ruu on filesonic if it helps any. thanks to newalker for the initial post. http://www.filesonic.com/file/U8OJsVw
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
anyone care to share their honeycomb cwm backup? looks like my /system is screwed up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Globatron,

Whenever you have time and energy, please explain the procedure.

This View was supposed to be a gift to my wife.:(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
What do you need help with? I did mine this morning and it went off without a hitch.

BTW Globatron said explicitly no support from him today and limited tomorrow. He is a busy man so let him have time with his family.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
At the moment, not possible I think bc of the differences in the Hboot. Have you tried re-running the mini ruu to get back into HC? May be your best bet right now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
sent you a pm.

[edit]like they're saying no way to go back to GB with the new hboot right now, best bet is to get back to HC.[/edit]
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
I am not pushing or anything.

I am just asking for..whenever...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Ok, so a lot of people seem to be new to the Evo View and have questions about the step-by-step procedure for using Globatron's method for getting rooted HC, so here's my write up as I did it:

Need:

HTC Evo View 4G stock unrooted on Android 2.3.4 (if already S-off skip ahead)

ADB/Fastboot Setup: see here how to do that http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532719

Use these Fastboot drivers here http://downloads.unrevoked.com/HTCDriver3.0.0.007.exe

Download Revolutionary here www.revolutionary.io and follow instructions to root and S-off your View on 2.3.4 (Remember to copy Superuser to your sdcard, yes you need a micro sdcard to do any of this)

Put this Superuser.zip on your sdcard http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...h-signed.zip&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13248412747271

Once you've succesfully completed using revolutionary, run an RUU from here http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...1.0531_NV_2.28_SPCS_release_198141_signed.exe

Then follow the instructions from the first post. NOTE: You may have to flash the mini-ruu more than once to get it to go (took me two tries). If you get to where you flash the mini-RUU and the green bar is at 70% just type in fastboot reboot-bootloader to get back into the bootloader and go into recovery.

Boot into recovery from the bootloader.

Flash the superuser.zip from recovery, do a nandroid backup, reboot into HC!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Tried several times.

Succesful flash, then stuck on HTC logo when trying to boot into recovery from the bootloader.

Same when just trying to boot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
White screen, green HTC logo or black?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
White screen, green HTC logo.

And yes, s-off w/revolutionary.

At this point I don't care whether it is GB or HC, as long as it is not a soft-brick and can stay s-off.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
can you get into the bootloader, recovery? Do you have a nandroid of your HC build?

When mine was in a softbrick state, I held down the power button to turn it off, but I had to quickly hold vol - and power right after it shut off or it would boot right back into that screen. Once I did that, it went into the bootloader without a hitch and i booted into recovery. Might not be the best option, but I tried.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
I can get into bootloader and then fastboot.

I can connect to PC and fastboot.exe from can flash, erase, reboot device.

I cannot get into recovery from bootloader, there is only green HTC logo on white screen.

I do have nandroid backup of HC on the sd card, as well as GB backups.

Doesn't do any good since I can't boot into recovery, either new or old.

It seems to me that only solution is to get an "old" hboot, flash it along with "old" recovery, erase everything else and try to restore one of my GB backups.

But I do not have an "old" hboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Thank you.

Did both steps.

Still the same after step 1, still the same after step 2.

White screen w/green HTC logo (splash screen).

But thank you for your help, I really appreciate it.

As of GB recovery and boot, recovery is from Revolutionary, I have it. Might extract boot from my GB Nandroid backup.

Thank you.

At this point I am convinced the new hboot is the problem and no matter what I flash, it won't boot.

But I try anyway with GB recovery and boot.

Edit: just tried with GB recovery and boot.

Succesfully flashed, but after an attempt to boot into recovery same thing - green HTC logo.

I start to really hate this picture.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
damn that sucks. i have the new hboot from the HC OTA update, and i was able to use htcdev.com to unlock my bootloader and then flashed recovery.img from the OP, and i can get in to recovery just fine, i just don't have HC in my /system so i'm stuck w/ GB and no HC backup so can't boot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
I've tried to upload system.img for you, but my provider only lets me upload 300MB. System.img with the highest Winrar compression takes 445MB.

Are you sure you can use just /system.img from other tablet and get into HC?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
well thanks for trying. i tried updating my system files with the ones from the OTA update, but the update also applies some kinda patch, and that i don't know how to do, or even if i can without decoding the apks or something like that. that's why i was thinking if i can just use someones freshly backed up /system it might work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
I thought about this and I think that would be a mistake. System.img has to have quite a few unique IDs etc. so it spells trouble .
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wolfpack612:
hmmmm...I'm gonna try newalkers suggestion to you to see if it takes it but i believe I've tried it a few times, maybe I'll download the ota file again from the post.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Maine_Coon,

Set up teamviewer and send me the details. I am not ready to release a downgrade procedure yet but I'll do it manually for you.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
This guy is incredible, I am telling you.

View is up and running and ready to be handed to my wife (not that I won't borrow it, he-he).

Many Many thanks Globatron!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
I know I said no support today, but the kids are now in bed so I have maybe an hour.

PM me, I

think

I can get you downgraded if you are unlocked, and then you can re-upgrade to HC or run revolutionary on GB and then upgrade.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Possibly the same for you as the previous post.

Both of you will need to have teamviewer or ssh set up for me to connect.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] geert56:
Dear globatron, am I correct to conclude that you have a method to downgrade a stock HTC View Honeycomb to Gingerbread? I mean, the device was never S-OFF-ed nor rooted before and has received the Honeycomb OTA. I assume that the method is not yet ripe for the general public. I do hope you will post it soon.

Thanks for your incredible effort in helping other people. Great dedication.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
You've got youself dialed into the correct station, just not broadcasting yet :D, but if you really want to go back, I'll do it for you now. Takes maybe 15 minutes, and I'll need you to have teamviewer on windows or ssh linux running.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
If I understand that right, essentially it means that "any" View no matter what brand of Android it currently runs can be brought back to virginity/stock GB by Globatron and after that get s-off and be rooted and upgraded to HC keeping the root and s-off and CWM if so desired.

Same path for ICS.

HTC View 4G should jump in popularity.

Globatron should get plenty of donations.

Me thinks :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Not quite virgin but back to GB or HC certainly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Well, virginity is overrated anyway :)

I saw the reports about new Views being shipped with HC already installed, I was afraid it would be close to impossible to get new View and be able to get root.

Not anymore.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AFSOC_Commando:
Thanks globatron! I am back in my HC with full root! Just like my Transformer! Love the power of root!
