Thanks for the PM, wasn't around much this week, but I finally have S-Off and am very thankfull!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KrazyBazturd:
My issue was resolved thanks to the online help that kevinrocksman provided. The problem was quickly identified and the rollback to GB, S-Off, and update to HC using the Multi-Tool and Revolutionary all went smoothly. Thanks again!!!

Hello Ulumia,

Sorry for late reply, I've had a lot of work at my office.

You are absolutely right, I did not pay attention to each file name, because it was the first time for me in a long while.

You've been very kind and incredibly helpful !

PS. I apologize for my not-perfect English, I'm italian.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Ulumia:
Did you successfully downgrade to 2.3?

I like 2.3 better than 3.2 but 2.3 doesn't run some Angry Birds games

And on 3.2, all the Angry Birds that didn't work on 2.3 work, which is why I'm on 3.2 now.

I'm going to try to make a custom kernel for 3.2.

But don't expect any results at all.

PS: I don't know English well enough to write and speak it without an interpreter either

That's okay.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] LoReNz_P:
Oh yes, I am using GINGERBREAD again - thanks to you !

There are not many apps that I can use, but I need to use Flyer for on-site surveys (I am interior designer).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wa0qbu:
will not boot

I was reverting to Gingerbread from Honeycomb. I am at S off 6.13.1002 but will not boot stops at flash screen.

I tried to rerun Gingerbread several time with it stalls at sending. I tried to run RUU with the same results.

I am now able to get into bootloader only can someone point me in the right direction?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wa0qbu:
fixed

with Kevin's help he got me back to where I wanted to be.

The tool is great and I can not thank you enough for the personal attention to get me up again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
No problem :-).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alizahid:
hello everyone I'm new to this forum looking to root my HTC view 4g running honeycomb.

can I use the multipurpose tool to root my HTC view on honeycomb? this is my first Android device and I would really appreciate any help with rooting my tablet.

thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Yes download and click on the .bat file

Use option 6 if you want gingerbread

If you just want root on gingerbread then follow the instructions on globatrons thread to put superuser on your tablet.

After that if you want hc run option 4

Sorry... I was so close to adding auto install of superuser but my motherboard died...lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Edit........ Wrong thought process there lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
megaupload.com is dead as of now.

put the files somewhere else.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Crap... Hm my computer is dead right now.... Use the alternative link for now. I will have a new link tommorow
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Wow...your eloquence with the English language and brusque manner make me want to extricate myself from this miserable world and defenestrate anyone who doesn't aquiesce to your demands.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
Hey Kevin, just want to make sure I am clear on this. I will be receiving my EVO View hopefully next week and would like to have it rooted with S-OFF running honeycomb. It is suppose to ship with Gingerbread.

Do I need to do the Revolutionary S-OFF before running your tool? Then use your tool? Will your tool actually install Honeycomb and give me superuser? I assume it is Revolutionary's step that will give me CWM?

Just trying to see that the best way is to get me to Honeycomb and rooted and not miss any steps...

Thank you!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Yes the only thing outside of this u have to run is revolutionary.

Once u run revolutionary it gives u cwm, to answer your question shortly for now. V4.4 will hopefully be released today which simplifies superuser even more. But after revolutionary run the "update gb to hc soff" option. I will answer a little more thourough when I get my computer
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
What is your problem, buddy?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
To avoid causing a barrage of off topic posts in a thread that I did not start while keeping this courteous, I found your post to be a bit snarky and I was in a similar mood. Therefore, at this time I have no problem as I have discovered most of your posts are structured in much the same way as the one I quoted.

Maine_Coon, this post is intended as an apology and never did I intend any of my posts as an attack. I don't consider myself better than anyone of any origin. If you choose not to take it as such, I can do nothing about that. Should you wish to continue this conversation, please PM me as we are not following the Rules of XDA Forums.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Case closed after your last edit.

Let's concentrate on the technical issues.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
....if ur going to continue this conversation PLEASE do it by pm.. getting off topic in the thread.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Can we get a new link for the 4.1 update?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
It will be up 30 min. Just replaced my CPU and reloading windows now..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JJsax:
I'm trying to understand if this tool is useful for me. I'm on GB HBOOT 6.13.1002 s-off root via rev.io I am running a ROM and it's giving me all kinds of issues right now. I want to upgrade to HC will this tool help me do that?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
yes just run option 4 then option 5 if you have V4.1 of my tool.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JJsax:
Cool trying now. If all goes well and is a pretty simple too I will do a review of it on my site. I will let you know how it goes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
It would be cool if someone could do a video walkthrough....

So going from gingerbread to hc as long as we have a-off we would choose option 4 then 5...so will the honeycomb ROM be rooted when it is flashed? I am pretty sure the answer is yes but want to be certain.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Yes if you download v4.3 it autoinstalls superuser after hc or gb flash. V4.3 also has option 9 to flash supervisor on any rom
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I will make a video soon
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
if you have previously downloaded V4.3 before this time, please redownload before running the Stock HC to GB Downgrader option
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ricfenrir:
No words for how great this is.

This tool works like a charm, really the best out there for its purposes...

But my comment isn't as much for the tool as it is for the tool's developer: kevinrocksman.

This APP has the best support i've seen. Kevin helped me trough a 5 hours (mainly because of my internet... 1mbps connection FTL) process of downgrading from official stock HC to GB, S-OFFing, rooting, flashing a custom ROM, etc!

He was the nicest, very patient trough all the time and answered all my questions (which is pretty important to me, being a new member to xda-developers and to Android world in general)

I really appreciate the help man, i really do...

Let me know when you get the update done, so we can work on that support :).

Take care, and again, thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alizahid:
i totally agree with you! the couple of times i have asked a question i have gotten a quick and thorough response.

now that you guys have figured out everything from downgrading to s-off root custom rom. it would be great if you guys can post step by step directions or tutorial video. i think a lot of newbies like me will highly appreciate it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JJsax:
Alright, this tool is the coolest effing thing ever! I wish that every tool out there worked like this one. I will be doing a step by step video and a review of this tool very soon for my site. kevinrocksman, thanks for talking me through it on IRC
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
We look forward to hearing your feedback! If you should need any assistance, we are glad to help and easy to reach!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Your welcome :-), love to hear feedback also. If you need help just get on my irc channel.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Can't wait for my new View to arrive so I can test.

My wife took her View from me.

I had to order another one :D She does not know about this - yet.

Thanks Kevin

thanks a lot Kevin, you have helped me remotely to downgrade my view with no HTC unlock, hc to gb, s-off, upgrade again to hc and then root the view with the different ways.

I really appreciate your help and I'll do the translation (although only a little help) when the next version is ready. I also will make a review at my blog.

Thanks again Kevin, you're rocks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JJsax:
Once again worked like a champ for me. I'm now on HC from GB :-) This is the coolest tool ever! LOL
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] warlord002:
Thanks Kevin i download the V4 and use the V4.1 update on the first past and select option 6 as you said on IRC . It did the job is it said . Down grade HC to GB with only a flew click .

Once again thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] youvebeengoosed:
i I'm very new to this like earlier today and I've been looking at the post and like ubuntu forums I don't know what the help I'm looking at I was wondering if you may know of a book idiot guide available to help me understand what I see in the forums and be able to root and mode my view

Plus with the view not really being supported do u think its worth keeping? Any feed back would be hot thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
View not being supported!!?? theres a ton of support lol

if you look at globatrons threads it tell you how to mod and root your device

it has linux based instructions too

IRC,d Kevin with questions on how to use the tool and wow was I surprised by the support I got from him. Not only did he help me, but he spent over an hour walking me through step by step on installing the tool and taking my tablet back to GB from HC. What can I say other than THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU GLOBATRON FOR MAKING THIS WONDERFUL TOO ALSO.

Hat's off to you kevin for this tool. Glad we have somebody working this. Keep up the good work! :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] soundimpressions:
Thanks Dude, I got my View yesterday and I am not a Dev, but this was the easiest Root I have ever done. Thanks again! I just bought you a beer. If I weren't so broke it would have been more.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
hello guys:

I was trying to s-off my View, at the end of the process when it says Waiting for fastboot...Rebooting to fast boot <Once moar...>

it said FAILED - Go have some lemonade!

but then, when I tried to run revolutionary.exe again it said: "Device already S-OFF"

then it downloaded and installed the clockworkmod recovery...blah blah SUCCESS!

is this ok? or the FAILED from the first part mean something?

THE ONLY thing i can think of is that I forgot to extract the su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip before i did the s-off
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Ur good to go just run option 10 now if you want to root your GB if you want HC then run the update GB soff to HC soff option then run option 10
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
yeah I did all that but at the end of the GB to HC update it ask to press POWER/DOWN ARROW...but when I do it doesn't go to the revolutionaty menu, it just boots to the normal OS
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rekerdguy:
I'm getting ready to try this out and I'm a bit confused. I'm currently on stock HC, locked bootloader, S-ON. Do I still need to run the HTC unlocker first or does V5.0 of this tool take care of that? I know that V4.0 required me to use the HTC tool first, so I just wanted to make sure before I screw anything up right out of the box.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JJsax:
You need to turn fastboot off in the settings. You get there with Menu>Settings>Power>then uncheck the fast boot.

That will allow you to enter into the hboot after you power down by pressing and holding the volume down and power button.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
It's tricky sometimes just keep trying and it'll come up
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
No u don't have to do HTC unlock just run option 6. Then after it is done run revolutionary. After revolutionary run option 10 to install superuser
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rekerdguy:
Great, thanks for the speedy reply!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
V5 is the one you want for the option to install superuser. Also b4 doesn't require u to use the HTC unlock its hut that its a hit and miss depending on if the volume ip, down and power buttons are pressed right. V5 fixes most problems from v4. Please let me know howbit works out for the both of you :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rekerdguy:
Cool, I'll probably get started within the hour. I'll let you know how it goes.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
ok....when trying to install SU i get this message: "windows cannot find apps\sucheck.bat make sure typed named correctly and try again"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rekerdguy:
A few more questions, if you don't mind. I assume that this will wipe my apps and data, right? Since I'm not rooted and can't use Titanium Backup, is there any way to back up my stuff before I run this?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
In a long answer I assume u can use titanium backup after it gets to the step where it says press power, volume up and down, but i cannot verify that answer. Tacoroot temp roots your device so u can downgrad it to GB. Please check ur pm
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
my sucheck.bat file is missing in my v5 folder. i ran the tool a couple of times after deleting the folders as i was instructed in irc but somehow it is still missing. any way i can get it from somewhere and put it in a sdcard that i have?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Here u go, let me know how it goes

https://www.dropbox.com/s/shp5aoi8r1hnb97/sucheck.bat
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
ok...I copied the file on to the v5 folder in my desktop (did not used the sdcard) and now I didnt got the file missing error message, but I got this:

PLEASE TYPE SU (IN LOWERCASE)

WHEN THE # APPEARS.

WAIT FOR THE DEVICE TO BOOT

THEN PUSH ENTER

IF IT SAYS ACCESS DENIED OR

UNSECCESSFUL THEN THERE IS A PROBLEM

AND RUN THIS AGAIN.

The system cannot find the path specified.

Press any key to continue . . .
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JJsax:
BTW anyone that wants an app to backup apps and messages/data etc... Use MyBackup it's the most amazing and easy backup app to use.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] abkotel:
Your APP saved my device!

I was stuck with the dreaded white HTC boot screen after trying to downgrade from HC back to GB on my HTC evo view! I was getting nervous, as I was pushing various recovery images manually with the android SDK, but with no luck. I believe my Hboot had to be downgraded and I had not yet figured out how to do it when soft bricked. I had to use the hboot usb mode to get your app to find my device, and then selected the HC to GB S-off downgrade option. Seems like I had to do it once or twice, but then it worked!! I cannot thank you enough for your forum support and this application. I'll be sending a donation your way to pay for a dinner so you can continue to be an asset to this forum!

Thanks..............
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I appologize. Apparently superuser (option 10) does not work. I am going to fix it when i get back from training in fort Knox... 9 days in counting
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rekerdguy:
Kevin - It took several tries, but the Multi-tool definitely made things much easier for me. I ran into a few snags, but in the end it was pretty darn smooth. I have virtually no skills (but luckily even less fear) so when I ran into problems, trial and error came to the rescue.

Thanks to you (and globatron) I downgraded from a View with HC and S-ON to GB S-ON, ran Revolutionary for GB root and S-OFF, installed su, then updated to HC S-OFF. My biggest problem was trying to do the initial downgrade. I finally had to move the Tacoroot files to the v5/Program Files directory and then it went smooth. One more thing...like jmsilva22 mentioned, the tool said it couldn't find the superuser file, but when I looked on the View, it was there and working. For some reason, the tool said the installation failed, but it actually went OK for me.

Anyway, between finally getting this View rooted and installing CyanogenMod ICS on my HP Touchpad, it was one heck of a day. Thanks so much for your help!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
congratz man...I checked and now I have it too! :eek: At first it wasn't there, but now I have the grey/green superuser icon. when I click it shows a lot of different settings.

BTW....I already disabled 4G (im only gonna use it over wifi)...but what other things I can shut down permanently to save battery?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rekerdguy:
Hey, it's great to hear that yours is working, too. I've been using mine for about two months (Wifi only) and the battery life has been pretty good. I'm too tired to try it tonight, but I may have to give this ROM a try:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1416868

The guy has removed a lot of the HTC and Sprint stuff. Looks promising to me...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Glad to hear u both got it working. Sorry about that hassle. I promise u I will fix it first chance I get. If you can please send me a pm on exactly what u did to fix the problem. Also one little thing try to stay on topic lol. Roms not so much. ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
In regards to the multi-tool, I think its great. You guys just need to figure out why is giving those false errors. The fact that I'm a total newbie with tablets (let alone hacking them) made it more complicated than it should. Thanks again guys for taking the time to help me out. :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I definitely will. I spend hours and days making sure things are right for you all to ensure 100% operability. but in the case of this one I was trying to push it out before i left for fort Knox. It will be fixed I promise that one :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rekerdguy:
I'll send you a detailed wrap-up PM, Kevin. And sorry about the thread hijacking. My bad.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
its all good man :-)

thanks for the detailed description on how you fixed the problem... its weird though because i didn't write it to look in those locations for the files... I will defiantly look into this.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wa0qbu:
Kevin

I just did a second tablet with ver. 5.1 All went well with the exception of SU gave a false error message. However it did the job no problem. Thanks again for this great tool
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Excellent! We will dig into the SU install error ASAP; shouldn't be difficult to clear up.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
V5.1? did you travel to the future? Apparently I made it through training successfully. How did you like V5.1? Did I do anything different in it? lol

when you say false error, do you mean it actually did install it and you have root?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] KDOG2020:
Been looking around for a new tablet and have been looking at the A100 since the price has dropped. Anything I should know about this? I like the 7inch form factor. So is it rootable? Will ICS run on it? Is it overclockable/upgradeable? Just wondering if its worth getting or if there is another 7" tablet that coming out soon that will be a better deal. You get the idea of what I'm asking. Thanks for any info!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] eman3316@optonline.net:
If you know where to get one at a decent price please PM me. They looked to be sold out everywhere!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] notsointeresting:
If your not going to get jealous of the quad core tablets coming out this year then you shouldn't worry too much.

Things to loom out for: Viewing angles- it doesn't sound like a big deal till you buy it, but in landscape the viewing angles are pretty bad, portrait is fine.

Development- currently it is capable of gaining root access, but there is no bootloader unlock as of yet (which means no ROMs/Kernels) I suspect(hope) development will pick up after the ICS updates come out.

Overall, for the price I cant complain much, its a nice tablet that has the specs of the 10 inchers , has the tegra 2 chip so games play wonderfully and no need for an app like Chainfire. Viewing angles is really the only thing that pisses me off from time to time.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] TheUndertaker21:
Pm ill link you to one on eBay
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] KDOG2020:
Well I'm only going to buy something like that new. As far as the quadcores, that sounds great but is there going to be any 7" tablets with the quads that don't cost $600 coming out soon/
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] bsharitt:
Your best bet it probably in store at Walmart(and maybe, but less likely, Best Buy), but probably don't plan on getting one online for the $250 price.

But getting back to the OP's question, the biggest issue I've seen with the tablet is the terrible battery life that has me missing my old Nook Color at the end of the day when I don't have a charger handy. The other nitpick is that the screen isn't great, but unless you're a videophile, most people won't care once they get used to it(though again I'm missing the Nook Color at times, but not as bad as with the battery).

Otherwise it seems like a decent little 7" Honeycomb tablet especially for the new $250 price that many are carrying it for. I wouldn't pay much more than $250 for it though(got mine for $189). Sure there are cases to be made for the Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet/Color in that general price range, but it's a trade off in each direction. What the others gain in battery life or display(at least for the Nook), they loose in not having a hassle free full tablet experience.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Havent seen one yet. But ya its probably gonna be in the $400s. Since IMO 10.1's are roughly gonna be in the $500s. I'm considering selling mine since I want a 16gb instead. Anyone here with a 16gb they wanna sell? And anyone wanna offer me something for my 8gb that I bought Nov 26th? I should post this as a separate thread.
