im just a little confused. I go through the process of downgrading but I cant flash any recovery's except the one that came with the RUU. When my tablet starts up it has a million force closes and I cant do anything at all.. I dont under stand what Im doing wrong
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sinner1168:
I used the recovery from post #1 and that worked with no problems. You might want to try that and see if it works for you. Also just asking to make sure but did you run the HTC bootloader unlock first?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Hmm, maybe reading the instructions would have been a good idea, see line 2 in red at the top of the first post.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I did run the revolutionary tol when I had 1.07... but when I was following the 1st post with instructions to upgrade and unlock I thought I had to uograde...

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Magnus_CA:
globotron,

Thank you for all your work (and sticking with us) on the View.

Forgive me for this newbie question but I'm trying to be extra careful since I'm trying this on my wife's View...

If I'm currently on GB with S-ON and want to get to HC with S-OFF and custom recovery all I have to do is run the Revolutionary S-OFF method and accept the HC OTA update and the bootloader will remain unlocked and recovery will remain in place?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
No one asked me, but still..

No.

- first do s-off on GB thru revolutionary;

- then go there http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409306

and follow the instructions.

Make sure you did NOT unlock your hboot thru the htc site.

and he is globatron, not globotron
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Magnus_CA:
Much thanks.

My most humble apologies for the spelling error. :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] geert56:
Biding my time....but how about Linux?

Indeed I knew that sooner or later we would have a fantastic downgrade procedure for the "fools" that rushed to accept the Honeycomb OTA. I am one of them! Thanks to the awesome work by globatron the method is sound and complete.

There's just one thing that I would like to see clarified: in what state is the View expected for the last step, i.e., running the big RUU.exe file (are we in the bootloader at that time)? And I assume that this must be done on a Windows box; how about Linux? All the other steps involving adb and fastboot are identical for Linux/Mac.

Is it possible to do everything but the last step on Linux and then plug the View into a Windows PC and run the RUU? Are the special fastboot drivers needed in that case? Or is there an alternative to "run the RUU" for Linux?

Sorry for the many questions. I hope someone has the answers.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sinner1168:
If you look at the steps just past the Windows installation steps, there are the downloads and steps to use Linux. Also your View should be on and booted to Android to run the big RUU.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
unruu: http://www.multiupload.com/TKROLFQLSK
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] geert56:
Downgrade from HC to GB - Linux

I think I have all pieces together now. Globatron, maybe you mixed up your various posts in your mind: The #1 of this thread does not explicitly mention the "unruu" step to get rom.zip. I see the post was edited overnight and now adds the flashing of rom.zip instead of running RUU.exe.

To summarize, for Linux:

Get the rom.zip file from the big RUU.exe file by:

# unruu -k RUU.exe

It might be obvious to you, but it would still merit a mention that doing this procedure you will reset your device to factory settings, hence you lose all your account settings and installed apps. The very first step, i.e., unlocking the bootloader via the htcdev.com method implies this.

Thanks for all the great work.

Of course you get the soft brick, you were told not to do this if you were S-OFF. It's line two in red.

Put your view in fastboot mode:

fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip dumb-ass.zip

Then run the RUU.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:

sorry, couldn't resist:D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsoplinger:
sudo didn't help. Bootcamp boot to Windows 7 64 bit did the trick. Since I had to do that for the next step (Revolutionary + root) wasn't a big deal. Still I wish I knew why it failed.

I have been sitting on the htc logo with the green progress bar completed for some time. Is it supposed to auto-reboot or is that done manually?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
looks, good to me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
thats what it is supposed to do. Its supposed to flash 2 times. You have to restart your device manually.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsoplinger:
If you look at the PC instructions (or perhaps it was the Linux) on the first page you'll see that there's a final reboot command missing. As the previous post you'll want to reboot right after the 2nd good flash.

May be a silly question but does this downgrade keep S= on once completed, & if decided to upgrade back to honeycomb or ICS if it comes out, will you still be on the OEM versions ?

thanks for your time & support
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Yes and yes, however this procedure does require that you use HTC's unlock. You should probably consider using this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428106 if you want to stay completely stock and not use the unlock procedures.

You can use this misc_version instead, it does not require the use of an SD card.

lol, I am dumb. I looked all over this thing and didn't see a way of putting an SD card in there. Did a websearch too, albeit quick, and didn't see any evidence it had a slot. I figured it must have a partition set up as a virtual SD card or something.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
check your pm...

as for a video, this program is as easy as a video.

http://www.multiupload.com/1S84TVT7AX

choose option 4 for NO HTC Unlock method or Option 2 for the OTA method.

OTA method has more steps while option 2 has way more steps

if you are already on s-off HC use option 3
