just followed the steps and everything was smooth ..so far i like the honeycomb i dont know why some people didnt like it or wanted to downgrade
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
two words:

hardware buttons
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] raed81:
I don't know to me its not a big deal
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ExBrasil:
Haha just as I was figuring out ADB and fastboot...

Thanks so much, Globatron!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Not to you, it is to some people. It depends on how you use the device. Once we have source for the view they can be re-added anyway.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
OK, let's move this discussion out of here.

This thread/section is for the development.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] pdiggity123:
Exactly - The view is pretty slick with the hardware buttons. I also felt like it ran smoother between page screen transitions, I preferred the landscape view w/ GB, and also the browser seemed to be a little snappier. I think that GB has lower overhead graphically and in terms of memory since it's geared towards phones instead of tablets. I'll probably stick with GB until a custom rom comes out, but am currently stuck with stock HC from the OTA upgrade.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wyldkard:
Contradude has a custom honeycomb ROM out. A GB ROM as well
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Once again, in the future release is it possible to check first whether the device is s-off w/revolutionary and if not, just refuse to run?

guess would save some support time for the users who refuse to read thru.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
It won't run on an official hboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wyldkard:
What mode does the tablet have to be in before I have to run the ARUWizard, fastboot or usb storage mount?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jperkonline:
stuck

Needing a little help. I followed the mac instructions (simple as they may be) to a "t" and when i sent the command to load the RUU I received this error:

sending 'zip' (686023 KB)... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002be

FAILED (data transfer failure (No such file or directory))

now i am locked on a black screen with silver "htc" letters and if I unplug the usb cable I am on the white dev screen with RUU as my only option and none of the buttons fnuntion, and I believe I would be "bricked" to some extent at this point. I hate to be one of those you guys have to coddle, but I'm a little lost on my options and internet searching hasn't proven much help. Thanks for any advice

I am revolutionary s-off fyi

*Update*

View dropped out of this state and rebooted, and I found my error. Thanks for all you guys do

and now I have encountered a new error: ERROR: could not clear input pipe; result -536870163< waiting for device >

if anyone has ideas I would be grateful. Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Great, that's what I wanted to know.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Anything except hboot.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RedWingsFan:
Just followed the steps in the first post and took my stock View to Honeycomb without a hitch. So far I like HC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ohwimgc:
lost cwm after upgrade to honeycomb

I updated to hc following the instruction.Everything is good except I lost the cwm..I tried to fastboot flash cwm-4.0.1.4-express.IMG. The flash is successful but cwm still doesnot work. When I tried to go to recovery from fastboot,it stuck at white htc screen. I can reboot to honeycomb without problem. Only cwm doesnot work. What should I do? Should I flash a different version of cwm? thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
This is the wrong cwm for HC. That cwm is for GB ONLY.

Globatron WizardRUU installs the correct cwm during the upgrade process.

I am not going to suggest anything, although I do think that flashing the recovery from express-mini-ruu.zip should work.

But let's wait for the answer from Globatron.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
http://www.multiupload.com/UM02MB8H4F recovery MD5:cb0683f249e6ad2d754949719104c1a8
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
If it doesn't tell you to do something in the instructions then you are not supposed to.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Did you try to boot into recovery RIGHT AFTER you upgraded? and you could not?

If the answer is yes, what flavor of GB were you running (stock/custom ROM), did you have s-off/cwm/root on your GB before you ran the upgrade?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jperkonline:
no dice

after several failed attempts using the os x method, I made a pass at the windows option, and when the ROM Update Utility checks for battery level it fails giving an error (120) stating that the battery is less than 30% and exits the installer despite having a fully charged battery. Kind of at a loss here and thinking about calling it a night, but wanted to give another update on the issues I am encountering. Could be something specific to my device that is failing. Any thoughts are appreciated
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ohwimgc:
thank you all, my cwm works

I flash the cwm for hc and it works! Thank you very much Globatron for your quick reply and thanks for all the suggestions from other members
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
for the mac method you need to have the zip file in the same directory you are running fastboot from.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jperkonline:
i did so, and posted earlier the errors i encountered. I'm not a dev of any sort but can get around a bt, and follow instructions to the "t", seems the tab just won't take it
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
The error was coming from the OS/Fastboot not the device....try running with sudo
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
If that doesn't work shoot me a PM tomorrow and we'll work through it to figure out what's going on.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jperkonline:
and that is why you are awesome. up and running. thanks for everything
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
Used the old instructions (soft-brick) and updated two views tonight. I also made my own su zip file that installs busybox along with su. On top of that, I was able to get my old twrp recovery port to work with honeycomb. Thanks for the base globatron. Now to get cooking on a personal hc rom for myself. I may be stuck on a winblows laptop but at least I can still do some android deving...just no kernel stuff :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Install ubuntu on a usb drive...I did that with my mothers laptop at my parents house while we were there for Christmas, nothing goes on the PC at all, not even grub.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
I use ubuntu thumbdrives to recover windows pc's.

My linux box has the entire android environment (full source code for aosp from froyo on up) and that's what I use to build the kernels.

The other dev stuff I can take care of in winblows using cygwin for now. No worries :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
thanks for this. now i can work on my rom :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] oldpueblo:
EDIT: Nevermind, seems to be fixed. Move along. :)

HANGS Completely & Doesn't show any indication the load is progressing :confused:

Issue with Windows Process:

RUUWizard.exe reports battery is less than 30%. I charged the battery overnight directly to the wall outlet so this doesn't seem correct.:confused:

So it seems I am in the exact same state as the other Mac/Windows user who reported the exact same results.:confused:

Maybe we can work with Globatron at the same time tomorrow since we have the same issue with both approaches. I am going to let my battery continue to charge but seriously doubt the battery level is below 30% after hours of charging.

NOTE: The device boots past the white HTC screen and goes to the "Quietly Brilliant" screen, shows the Sprint screen, plays the music, and shows the 4G logo and reboots and repeats in an endless loop when the device is not put into the boot menu or recovery.:confused:

NOTE: I followed the procedure Globatron provided - when he asked us to hold on until he got a solution together. That included loading the first ExpressRRU and the "therest.zip." This restored my recovery & I thought I was on the right track.

NOTE: Prior to this, I performed the PG file upgrade (as instructed by Globatron) and placed the file on the SD to run the update process two times.

This has been an adventure for sure. Thank's to Globatron for taking the time to sort us out. As a software engineer, who uses Android's SDK daily, I thought I was advanced & could handle this. The instructions were/are simple.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] HiredGUN.45:
Hello globatron,

I just did your S-Off Honeycomb install on my View. I'm a real noob when doing these things but I followed your updated instructions and got it done quickly and correctly, everything works great! Thank you for making it such a simple, easy, and painless process.

FYI, I will donate tomorrow (once I figure out how). Really appreciate all the hard work you put into this and in helping the community.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] graffixnyc:
globatron,

Nice work man, I followed the steps (the first proc that lead to a soft brick) and it went without hitch. I'm curious to know how it was done. I remember with the evo 3d when they released a new hboot that couldnt be s-offed with revolutionary we tried (me, IEF from alpha rev and a few others) tried many things to get the hboot to downgrade. We tried the mainver misc partition hack, swapping sd cards midway through, and countless other things and we couldnt get it to downgrade because it seemed like HTC built it tighter than a ducks ass and put in all of these extra security measures. I would have thought they would have used the same security techniques on the new hboot for the View. So I'm thinking that maybe what you did for the view could help the evo 3d users (I no longer have the evo 3d) that have bootloaders that cant be s-offed anymore.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Afraid not. Myself, IEF, kmdm and a bunch of others have tried everything we can think of for the 3D, including unlock/misc_version. HTC really thought about what they were doing on the 3D and sewed it all up really tight. I was afraid initially that they would do this on the view being a sprint device and hence my original warning not to upgrade but luckily that was not the case. There is however a big difference between the two devices, we got radio S-OFF on the 3D and only ENG S-OFF on the view so they may have felt it was not worth the hassle.

The way the original process worked was by depending on the hboot protection from the revolutionary hboot ( the OTA fails to update this ) Since we are still on an S-OFF revolutionary hboot we can write whatever we want, the whatever in this case is a pre-patched hboot that keeps us S-OFF.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
That's all offset by the fact that you have a Mac :p
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] turbooutlaw:
:) yeah yeah.....ha-ha. So do I have a 7" 4G table coaster, for a pair of beer cans, on my hands (based on my description)?

I did also try using a Windows 7 VM and I got the battery % below 30 error (and the battery light was green (~100%) when I unplugged it to run the Win method). So I did try again with a fully charged battery.

Summary:

Mac method fails to load the RAW.zip - just sits at the black HTC screen until it times out.

Windows method fails to load the image from the ARUWiz.exe due to the battery error.

Here is what is displayed in the boot menu:

-Revolutionary-

Express PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
ok, if you're still stuck, set up a teamviewer session and I'll take a look.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] brettbee:
Noob question: ARUWizard is offering to update from Image Version 1.22.651.2 to 1.11.651.1.

Is this correct? Or did I screw something up along the way?

I did the Revolutionary S-Off procedure. I made a backup through the CWM and I also backed up my apps with Titanium (to the SD card).

Am I good to press "Next?"

Sorry - I'm a nervous first-time rooter/rommer!

Brett
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
That's normal, the version number gets set lower to facilitate future downgrade procedures.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wxwxw:
After this procedure, all the accounts setting and installed apps are gone and we need to re-set everything just like a new machine, right? Thanks a lot
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
yes, same as any RUU.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] pdiggity123:
Great work Globatron - I got my View set back to stock GB after doing the OTA Honeycomb update. Worked perfectly.

I don't know why, but I can't get s-off to work. I'm running revolutionary and putting in my serial, but it keeps telling my invalid beta key. It's my first time doing it, but haven't seen others with this problem in other threads. Something to do with the HTC unlock/relock ?? I'm not seeing locked or unlocked in the bootloader. Hmmmmm.

edit: nevermind, got s-off . Darn fonts.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JaxChris:
Just received Evo View today, took about 30 mins to charge it to 70%, and about 15 mins to Unlock/Upgrade/Root it to HC. Very smooth process, no issues with 1.09 HBoot.

Thank you Globatron!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wxwxw:
Thanks. Can we use the titanium backup to backup everything in gb and restore the backup to hc? Thanks,
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AFSOC_Commando:
Question...

I have been upgrade for a few days now to HC and everything is fine except for one thing...

Adaway fails with the error "The busybox binary could not be found. To install it from the Android Market click the button below"

Busybox was installed previously and I have since installed it. I uninstalled adaway and reinstalled and still get the error. Any idea if this is related to the upgrade to HC? It was running fine under GB.

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
no

There are some problems with the bb installer, I believe I had to use one of the other busybox installers to get it to work properly, but just look for a flashable zip version and use that it's easier.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] futango:
No root?

Just followed the steps. Everything went smoothly. On HC now. Still have CWM as recovery. rebooted and installed superuser. Downloaded terminal and tried SU. Says permission denied. Any ideas?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
install busybox
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] futango:
Awesome. Thanks Bro. Your are fast and a great dev.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m00nelph:
Finally got around to doing the upgrade today, went from stock GB to rooted HC without a problem, thanks again Globatron!

Sadly I had a little let down after installing, happily went to the market to install the new adobe touch apps i'd been waiting to try (they require Android 3.0+) and it won't let me :(

Guess the screen size is too small or something.. :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
I've installed Photoshop Touch on HC w/o any problems (if that is what you are talking about). Try again. App should not care about the screen size. Only your eyes will ;)

---------- Post added at 08:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

Speaking of busybox: do we want the latest and the greatest or is it OK to let it go as it is?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] J03Y4G:
I installed busybox but it said that SU grant failed where at the root uninstaller worked fine.

Also I was wondering as to why they disabled the hardware buttons outside.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
I didn't understand any of that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
First part of the post:

Can you possibly rephrase and explain little more what happened?

Second part of the post:

Yeah, me too.

Ask Google.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] m00nelph:
I can't even get it to show when I go to market on the View running HC and from the web interface it tells me none of my devices are supported. :confused:

just to make sure, I can see/install the photoshop express app (the free one) but not the $9.99 full blown photoshop touch app..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
well, your market is screwed up.

Find alternatives.

Has nothing to do with the topic though.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alfredojra:
Hello

Will this work on hboot 1.14.0005?

sorry I tried to search for it but no luck.

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
You need to make it s-off with revolutionary www.revolutionary.io .

This is mentioned in the first post as prerequisite.

After you do, your hboot will no longer be 1.14.0005.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alfredojra:
I have tried the revolutionary with my htc sensation before but it was supported but for the view it only says that is supports HTC View (express) 1.09.0000 and 1.13.0000 I'm afraid if I use it I will brick my view or something.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AFSOC_Commando:
Thanks!! Actually found a free app on the market that allows you to pick and install the busybox of your choice

BusyBox Installer by Jrummy16 worked like a charm!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Wait for Globatron.

He might have an answer for you.

Is your View a new one with HC already installed?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alfredojra:
No, Its the old one I manually updated it to HC through HTC Software Update. Thanks I won't do anything till someone's sure that It'll work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Then you probably have to go back to GB as per Globatron thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1414137

then perform s-off and after that use procedure described in this thread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] PapaDocta:
just got my view today and upgraded using this method without a hitch... thank you so much
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Correct answer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] megabyte2365:
Has anyone tested the nandroid backup? I keep making them, but afraid to restore with it to test. Had cwm not wok correctly before and I like what I have now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
I did the restore.

Worked flawlessly.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] chimstar:
Globatran thank you for the work you have done first off.....we all appreciate it...am about to take the plunge! seems straight forward...quick question as i have not played with hc too much are we still able to use the calculator to get into the !!3424! data/epst screens as i use my view with clearwire for 4g use and just want to make sure that i can still get into these screens to alter the winmax addy etc. in case it reverts to the sprint realm a simple yes or no...anyone can answer just go to calculator flip it horizontal and see if typing in any !!3282! gets you to any screen that asks for msl etc. Thanks otherwise looking forward to going to hc and again many many thanks for the hard work!

How to fastboot

I have S-OFF done, trying to boot into fastboot, but I can't seem to get to the screen? Is the key combination volume down + power button? I hold it there until all the keys hardware keys light up but nothing on screen. Do I have key combination incorrect?

EDIT: Nevermind, screen came as I let go of all the buttons.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] megabyte2365:
Confirmed DM command service and EPST mode on HC upgraded here. Cool trick, not seen this advertised anywhere.

recovery stuck on htc splash screen

I am S-OFF on Honeycomb, but can't get into recovery to flash root or any other ROM. Whenever I boot into recovery, it hangs on HTC splash screen. Tried using revolution to down CWM and tried fast booting to flash cwm.img, still same affect. Any idea what I can do? Thanks for the help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Bud, you are doing the wrong things to your View.

Try to boot into bootloader/fastboot and flash the appropriate recovery.

The one for HC.

Globatron had posted a link somewhere on this thread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nhidog:
I did boot into bootloader/fastboot and flash the appropriate recovery. Still same thing hangs on HTC splash screen going into recovery.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
This one?

If yes, wait for Globatron :o
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] nhidog:
Ah no, mine didn't have -HC. Mine was cwm-4.0.1.4-express.img taken from revolution thread. Thanks will try one you posted.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] s0cal:
hey guys i need help with my view. i followed the instructions and got stuck in step 6 but then i found out what i needed to do fastboot. so i installed all the drivers and now when i go into fastboot on the view, and i type in command the following:

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip express-mini-ruu.zip

i get the error, malformed 1

someone please help me... :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Are you s-off? are you in GB?

Why don't you just run ARUWizard.exe ?

The procedure has changed, it is very straightforward now.

All you have to do is to flash SU file after ARUWizard is done upgrading your View to HC.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] geebee1932:
First of all thanks so much for all of your work and efforts. I have been flashing my regular Evo 4G for quite a while and am familiar with the procedures. Are you going to post a simple path to downgrade from rooted s-off HC to GB through revolutionary? I take it that is not as simple as just restoring the GB backup.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] s0cal:
I am on GB I guess since I ran the RUU that in the original steps that were given. I have S-Off through Revolutionary. I was stuck in the HTC boot screen.. And when I go into fastboot and on my pc, in Command, I type fastboot oem rebootRUU or to flash the other command, it says error.. malformed 01.. :confused: Please help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Try going to fastboot mode, not hboot mode, it might just help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] s0cal:
OMFG. Thank you so much! It worked and now my view is back to normal. Loving HC!! TY! :D

should i unlock my bootloader from htcdev.com?? if i do will it effect my honeycomb? revolutionary s-off? what will happen and should i do it?? :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ExBrasil:
Rom Manager

Is there any reason that Rom Manager is telling me that I don't have CWM installed when I clearly do?

When I click on Backup Current Rom it tells me I must have ClockwordMod Recovery installed before continuing, and then it prompts me to install the recovery through Rom Manager and asks me to confirm Phone Model,and it doesn't have the Flyer OR the View.

Am I not supposed to be using Rom Manager to make backups?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] monyozt:
can i perform from flash from ginggerbread?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
No you're not.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Go ito the bootloader and choose recovery, from there go to back up and backup the rom there.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
You can.

But after that your View will be soft-bricked.

Been there, done this.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Updated release:

Additional method supported, SD-CARD/bootloader now supported.

New hboot, 6.14.5556 - bug fix...you are strongly recommended to take this update, the old version is no longer supported.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mumboender:
