Shouldn't be too bad, it's much more straight-forward than what we did on your device during testing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
OK, with your approval should be fine.

I do realize it should not be too difficult to pack a few commands into the package.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Im ready for it lol, gives me something to do :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
files up finally.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] contradude:
you probably want to change the fastboot reboot-bootloader line to fastboot oem rebootRUU. that's what it took in my case.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Awesome! Good to see tools like this finally out for the View.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Its really all thanks to globatron :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Hm. I was actually wondering about that. Ill bring that up to globatron.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
Hi, I looked at your batch file. You are flashing rom.zip twice. Why?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] invensmaster:
Keep up the good work

Help Stuck on BOotloader

My Evo View is stuck on the bootloader screen running Recovery.exe it said the life give u lemons and give it back blah

and then said goin to fastboot once moar and just hung on there

now my evo just is on the bootloader screen saying fastboot usb..

I did the downgrade to GB already, and the first part of recovery seem to have worked I don't know what happened?? the volume or power buttons not workin it seems to be frozen on the screen
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Your fine. Just force restart your device. It might say failed bit it didn't fail. After it festarts go into the OS and go to settings, applications, development, and turn usb debug on. Then run the revolutionary software again and it will ask you Y or N on recovery install. Press Y and press enter.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsmoove386:
Yea it worked all is well. Now I'm updating back to HC s-off. I had to wait for it to die and power back on. What is the force restart because no buttons volume up/down or power button was working?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
The force restart is done by pushing and holding the Power and Volume Down simultaneously. You may have to hold them for a bit before the device responds but it will force the device to power down, and usually reboot into the OS.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gratefldiver:
Great job!

Kevin, I just finished using 4.0 to take my S-Off 6.13 View (replacement fresh out of the box) to HC 6.14.5556. Took all of 15 minutes and worked flawlessly. Thanks so much for a great tool, and please keep up the good work!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Excellent! Please feel free to PM myself or Kevin if you have any suggestions or ideas to be included with the multi-tool package. Thanks again!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wa0qbu:
Ok 5.0 - I am always looking froward. Yes it did install but said failed then said all is good (I think twice) and rebooted. May not be exact words but anyway when it rebooted all was good to go 100%.

Thanks again
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
Okay, so I rooted GB with the revolutionary process. Now to go to HC I need to use options 4 and then 5, correct? I will still be rooted? Then after that do I need to run the superuser option as well or will it be included in the HC update?

Also, which version should I download? Is it version 5? Assume I need to download the full one that is over 1gig?

I would like to install this on my other computer that does not have ADB setup. Is ADB needed for this?

Thanks for the help!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Option 4 is all you need, your Hboot will update during that process. Run the SU install as well, it won't hurt anything if it is already there. You may see a failure message when you run the SU install but reports are stating that it is still functioning despite the error message.

Version 4.0 + Version 4.1 is a full pack solution meaning it totals over 1GB. Version 5.0 is automated to download only the files that you need per the options you choose.

All available versions of the Multi-function Tool contain the necessary adb.exe and fastboot.exe files. They should be located in the 'programfiles' folder after install/extraction.

Hope this takes care of your questions! Should you need any additional assistance, please don't be afraid to contact us shouting "HELP!" :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DssTrainer:
It is not quite clear from the first post..

I have GB S-off with custom rom.

I'd like to go to HC with s-off.

The closest option I see is

4. Update GB to HC after s-off.

Is that what I want? Not sure if it means I need S-OFF already on HC or what.

Do I need to immediately flash an HC rom after doing that?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Option 4 is what you would want to run. The option just means that you are already S-OFF on GB. Once the process is complete, you will be S-OFF Honeycomb. This is the same process that I have used multiple times in testing and am personally S-OFF HC.

As for the ROM, that is up to you. Once the upgrade process is complete, you will have a clean install of the HC OTA and your device will function. I personally have a slightly customized version of the stock HC ROM as I have not found any one ROM that I want to switch to. It will at least give you some time to "shop around" for a HC ROM
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DssTrainer:
Ah, I see

Prerequisites

Revolutionary S-OFF on GB

I guess that is what I want then... here goes nothin! :)

---------- Post added at 02:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:07 PM ----------

Ah thanks for the info. I was misunderstanding the bit about it automatically installing the stock HC rom for me. Makes sense now. it is in progress now ... thx
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Let us know how it goes! If you need help I am available for the time being.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Yep no prob. Glad it worked for ya. Sorry if I sounded mean there lol.. I was trying to turn that into something funny ;-). I'm a bad joker.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DssTrainer:
All was going along swimmingly ....

it seems to be on HC now but after the step it tells you to goto recovery... I do that.. it starts the adb daemon... then shows:

http://screencast.com/t/QWytjkV7q

I'm using the 5.0 version so it should be DLing these things as needed with wget but looks like it missed that "sucheck.bat" file.

Meanwhile the tablet rebooted into HC now and it seems to be working. I am assuming SU isn't installed.. but should I just install that manually with the superuser zip file I have from my initial GB root?

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:23 PM ----------

superuser is there.. and it looks like it is all working.. so maybe no big deal
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Actually, SU is installed. This was the error I mentioned in a post earlier today. If you look at the screen shot where it shows 5842Kbs and 4367Kbs, those are the adb pushes for the SU files.

Easiest way to check is Root Checker basic from the market, or if you are familiar with using adb, open the command prompt for adb then do:

adb shell

SU

The cursor after adb shell will be a $, then with SU it will change to a # and your View should state that shell has been 'Granted SuperUser Permissions"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I see what the error is now. Thank you. Go ahead and download a program called terminal emulator. When you open it please type SU and a box might pop up asking allow or deny. Click allow. If you don't see "Permission denied" after then you are good to go and have root.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
Help Please...

Trying to go from S-off GB to S-off HC. I am choosing option 4. It then tells me to go into fastboot. After I do that it reboots back into it, then says finished and the device sits an a black HTC screen. Nothing is happening. I just reboot the device back into my GB Rom?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Have u ran revolutionary to get soff? Try to run option 4 again. If ur still having problems txt me 3163006157
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
I tried it 2x, same thing. What is suppose to happen? I am suppose to start the process in GB or in Fastboot?

I am using V5. It downloaded a bunch of files but once I go into hboot it doesn't do anything after it reboots into it again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I'm on irc
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
If anyone is having a problem with option 4 please restart your computer. It seems to fix the problem. If the app is freezing or your computer is freezing the problem lies with your computer.

Still let me know if you have a problem
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
hello...I downloaded the app. When i open it on top there is a sentence like $ export PATH=/data/local......

then below that is just the $ sign...when I type SU and press enter on the keyboard I get "permission denied"

as far as I know I rooted correctly and I have the superuser app installed and it runs

??????
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
That usually means ur not rooted. I appologize please install superuser manually or run option 10 again... When I get home I'm deffinatly doing a overhaul on the superuser option... And a small bug I found on the GB to HC option. Nothing big but needs fixed
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
ok...i just installed "Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip" manually from recovery. installed successful.

what next?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Your good to go.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
ok but how can I make sure if Im rooted or not? sorry for all the questions but im still learning man...

because im still getting "permission denied" on terminal emulator
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
It's all good man.

Just open terminal and type su and see if it says permission denied or not. If it does say permission denied then ur not rooted
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
so do I have to erase my tablet and start all over again? because i already have HC and some apps installed

---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 AM ----------

when I boot in to revolutionary it says:

EXPRESS PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-6.14.5556

eMMC-boot
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
No u should be good. Just boot up your tablet now and download terminal emulator and type su and see if it says permission denied
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
still permission denied....

does this have to do with something that im not doing while on revolutionary?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Go ahead and get on my irc channel
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] eman3316@optonline.net:
Just wanted to thank Kevin who spent like an hour with me getting this to work...I wanted to go from s-off GB to s-off HC.

I was already s-off through revolution so I was trying to use option 4. The problem was I would get stuck on a black HTC screen and nothing was happening. The computer was telling me it was finished. I let it sit there for 10 minutes and nothing so I would just unplug it and was able to boot back up to GB.

Kevin actually remoted into my computer and helped me out. He was able to run the update manually. While we thought it was not working eventually after a while it started to push the file. Bottom line was my computer was slow or possibly having some memory issues and took a really long time to push the file.

Seems like if I would have left it there on the black HTC screen the computer would have eventually pushed the file but it would have been a while...Anyway, HC is working now thanks to Kevin and it is cool to play with something different...

Thanks again!

Have a beer on me.....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Thanks man. Have fun ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
yeah.... Kevin's da man. Yesterday he took the time to help me out in the IRC channel until my problem was resolved. Xda rules! ;-)

MD5 for version 5.0

@kevinrocksman,

Thanks for all your hard work...

Question - I downloaded V5.0 (twice) and have not run it yet because the MD5 check on the file does not match.

Has the file changed since it was posted without updating the hash? Just being careful I guess, as I want to run it on a friend's device.

Thanks again...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I apologize, it was a bad on my part, that is the hash for V5.0 before I had uploaded it (strangely no one else has said anything to me). I will have the real hash up when i have the chance. But yes that is ok to run. I have had 23 people download it within the last couple hours and no complaints so I think its good to go. If you would like to wait I can have the (Verified) MD5 sometime tonight around....8 or 9
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drenner99:
Thank you Sir.

With everything you are doing, I can see how a little thing like that can be overlooked. I had reviewed most of the thread before posting, thinking it could just be something unique on my end. Glad to know I'm not (completely) losing my mind:)

Now if you can just verify there really is gold at the Fort...

Thanks for your service to our country !!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] futango:
Just wanted to say THANKS. You tool has made going to HC and coming back to GB a breeze. The v5.0 worked like a breeze. No issues.

Super User Error

Hi Kevin! First off, I would like to thank you for your hard work! This method worked flawlessly! I came from GB S-OFF to HC S-OFF. I just have one problem... When i try to install su it doesn't work. I am aware that there is suppose to be an error message after the installation but even after I type su in adb or termnial i get Permission denied. Should I go ahead and flash su from recovery or is there another work around?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
go ahead and start of the system and go and download root checker and run it and see what it says . you can also go to terminal emulator and type Su and see if it gives u a error message.

I'm going to try the best I can today to fix the problem .
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DCBatman424:
Kay so after running Root Checker I'm getting "Sorry, this device does not have proper root access". After running su in terminal i get "permission denied".
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Go ahead and download http://goo-inside.me/superuser/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip

Put that on it memory card and flash it through recovery

Until I fix the self install this one will work
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jmsilva22:
Mr. Kevin to da rescue... :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DCBatman424:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
The best I can tell you right now is to go ahead and try V5. You are on irc right now but not responding. I have to get off in a bit. Please let me know how it goes
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Binary100100:
I wanted to jump in here and say thanks to the developer(s) of this method. It made things a lot easier. I did have a road block during installing though. My fault really. I was in the process of flashing HC on the script when I had to leave urgently. A real emergency! I returned ten hours later and the device was DOA. Fastboot wouldn't even pick it up. The battery was completely dead. I was only able to get the black HTC fastboot oem screen with the four triangles in the corners. I let it charge for about three hours before trying it all over again. Kind of a headache and I was a bit nervous for a while since some HTC devices won't even charge with a certain recovery and at this point I had absolutely no clue as to where it was in the flashing status or what I even had. Did I have GB? HC? CWM Recovery? Did I have anything at all? I literally didn't have a clue. But with some patience and persistence I'm running strong. Kinda sucks that I don't have any data service for it. I guess I'll have to get Sprint now. :(

BTW, I

LOVE

the wget option. I've been looking to implement such in a tool for myself. Thanks for the idea! Don't worry... I don't kang anyone's work. I know better. ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Lol the wget is what saved ya here LOL. The good thing is that you left probably while it was downloading the files needed and not before it started the actual processes. Plus it starts downloading where it stopped. The idea was globatrons for wget I just figured out how to implement it. There is probably a better way but the code I wrote works for the purpose LOL. Well glad it worked for you.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Rronnie:
Had an issue with option 2 using the multi tool. Kevinrocksman helped me remote even though he is out of pocket for the next several days. Appreciate it!!

If you are having trouble with the downgrade option you will want to contact Kevin as there is a slight issue that he can help you with to get it working properly. (version 4.1)

Big thanks to Kevinrocksman and Globatron ! I am now back to HC, and I have S-off and root. !!!!!

For those reading and deciding about this I say read up, and go for it. These guys will help you out, and Kevin keeps upgrading the tool to work better.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
You can contact me as well :D

I don't have as much availability as he does, but I am very familiar with this tool...tested almost everything since 2.1ish...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
It was before 2.1 :-)

I don't know how to do a multi quote from multiple people but the one that was talking about option 2 not working properly that is also in v5... I have fixed it but it needs tested before I release it. Plan on a few days going to try to spread my herizons also...I know i spelled that wrong... But I'm going to try to add other options for recoveries and roms hopefully. We'll see though ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
I'm not s off and I've been trying to use this, getting no results. Do I have to be rooted or unlocked to get back to gingerbread?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Can u tell me a bit more info? I need to know which option ur trying. I also need to know if you are HC or GB right now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Lifesaver!

Thanks so much Kevin, you are such a lifesaver! I am so happy to have my GB back and a pretty much brand new device with some root on it lol. You have officially made my day so much better. Now I can love my htc all over again! :D

This guy is a freakin' genius! Mad Props!!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Your welcome crystal! It was a bit of a pain but mainly the waiting part for flashing the zip took the longest. Glad to hear your good to go again!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Everything is great except.. there was a HTC update: system enhancement 4.56mb that I tried to update and when it restarted there was a black screen with a white symbol and a blue android.. I had to power/vol down to restart it. Also I went to the android market app to get tunee music back but it and other music apps were unclickable. I did go on the browser and was able to download though..

Other than that everything is perfect :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
.....can u all start leaving feedback on how to make this better.... It pains me to see EXCEPTIONALLY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND... I need to know how to make it better... It's very demotivating to me to hear people are having problems with a program I developed to make people's lives easier...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
I wasn't trying to make anything sound bad.. the app market is fine now. I also dont plan on making any updates anymore. You did an outstanding job I'm not complaining I just didn't know why I got that screen. I'm sorry.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
No it wasn't you. I'm talking about the poll at the top of the page. People voting so negatively when I bust my butt(to put it nicely) to support each and every person on xda. Even during training in the muddy, cold and wet backlands of fort Knox I have helped a total of 18 people during my training in my free time...

I don't think I ask for much..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] FabianaS:
I can honestly say that Kevinrocksman rocks! He helped me with his tool and he fixed me up in no time!! I am very green in all this development stuff but he really did a huge thing for the community with this multi-tool.. the tool fixed 2 problems that I was having!! thanks Kevin.. I have to admit I was scared to ask for help at first but he was awesome!

thanks again!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] TRUEVO:
Not that difficult, just not working for me...

Long story: got my View from the 1saleaday firesale and I was astonished on how fast and fluent it was, then, stupid me, did the OTA HC upgrade.

My fantastic tablet became sluggish and with a less attractive feel and look, I want it back to GB desperately, and well, you know what they say: "Google is your friend" and so I came to this place, that is full of great developers who volunteer their valuable knowledge, time and effort to us simple mortals but the more thankful I am to these guys for that, the more frustrated. I have spent 2 full days trying to get my View back to GB, but what I have ended up with is a semi-brick tablet that I can't return to the seller or get support under warranty because I unlocked it.

My apologies to Kevinrocksman, I wasn't complaining. It's not you, it's me.

I've tried the V5.0 FOOD tool and downloaded all the files, several times, tried all the applicable options, rendering my View to a softbrick, (I get the white HTC screen) I'm guessing I erased the image and won't re-flash, I know I am doing something wrong but I can't figure it out for my life.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:

Problems with tool

Hi there. I also purchased my tablet in one of those recent sales and foolishly rushed to upgrade to HC. I'd like to root. So I used the HTC bootloader unlocking tool and then tried to use this tool to downgrade to GB so that I could then root and upgrade back to HC. The multi tool ran but I'm still in HC. I'm unsure how to proceed. I don't want to mess up my tablet. Any help would be appreciated. When I go to the boot screen it says:

Relocked

Express pvt ship s-on rl

hboot 1.14.0005

hey buddy you mind helping me out? I recently got a View from a trade in the market place and it came with HC and I seen roms that would let you use the home button and all that or switch to the HC buttons and I'd really like that.
