[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
are u on a virtual machine or a mac?

this problem occured on someone elses computer and he tried another computer and it worked fine.

That (revolutionary) isnt part of my tool is just another tool from revolutionary.io

hm... ya just try another computer with that part. also make sure u dont have HTC SYNC installed.

Now...I will be leaving in 3 hours to go out to the field so I wont be able to assist you for at least 2 days. ETHeil on the irc channel will be able to help you though but he works at night and that is when he is on.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
my apologies... Someone brought it to my attention that even though I had V7.8 up it was downloading V7.6... It is fine though all you have to do is run the tool 1 or 2 times and it will update you to V7.8.

I am trying a new way to update the tool so you don't always have to download the newest one...I hope I have not inconvenienced anyone.

Also what ever you do DO NOT give any information or TEAM VIEWER INFO to ANYONE EXCEPT @KEVINROCKSMAN AND @ETHEIL on my IRC channel.

If it has a @ symbol then that is someone you can TRUST.:)

As for the "FIX", someone has brought to my attention that there is a way to make it so that isnt needed but I will need someone to test it for me that is having trouble running it.

Please let me know if you would like to help out with this.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] coolbird:
I apologize if this has been asked and answered before, it's a long thread. I am on GB with Revolutionary s-off, with HBOOT v6.13.1002. Do I first need to upgrade to v6.14.5556 before I can upgrade to HC rom, or I can just choose option 4 in Multitool and directly upgrade to HC. Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Running option 4 updates u to .5556 before it flashes hc. It does everything for u
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] coolbird:
Thanks for your help!

Back to you..

I'm using a desktop computer running Windows 7 Ultimate. Following your instructions I did try a different one, a laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium, installed ADB/Fastboot with same results. I really appreciate your help, but that's OK, I can live with a tablet un-rooted.

Thanks sir.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
When i get home I will try to help u out

Feedback MultiTool v7.8 & CypherRom

Thanks for all your hard work. Lovin the multitool

Gets easier with each release.

I tried it last night & wanted to followup with outcome

My View was running clevername GB S Off

Last night I used MultiTool to flash new CypherRom HC

Tool auto updated from 7.6 to 7.8 fine

I first used tool & setup Stock HC S Off (upgraded bootloaders etc)

Next ran Developer Rom option to install Spartan Cypher HC

Tool worked great until it reached Cypher_HC_Blue_Theme_Release_Test2

MT window closed lightning fast when running install -- I was hoping

it finished properly, but nope

Booted View & found stock HC still intact

I copied the zip installs from the multitool developer folder on my laptop

& zip installed via ClockWork Mod

I didn't try to flash any other roms, or reflashing Spartan's

but don't mind trying any of them if you need a tester

Let me know :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Thanks I try the best I can to make it easier for everyone. :-)

That's awesome. I love when people give me feedback, it really helps me see what the end user is seeing.

Thats good I had some worries about that no working correctly but looks like it's working fine!

Now this is where I need a little more info. Once it's done downloading the file a window will pop up and say a whole lot of information telling you what to do THEN PRESS A BUTTON TO CONTINUE. Did you happen to press a button? DId it download both files successfully to the developers folder? (see the instructions are supposed to tell you to go to recovery, then it would push the files to the device "not install them", then it instructs you on how to install the rom)

Possibly maybe. I will definably let you know ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wa0qbu:
Rom flash

I had a similar experience it upgraded just fine. I then downloaded the Cyber Rom all went well. However it did not download the Theme.

It provided instructions but I believe now I waited too long and it did not push the file to my card.

Fix was to put the Rom and theme on my card and flash both. All is good and I beleve it was working but operator error caused the minor glitch.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
I downloaded CypherROM Wi-Fi only through the Multi-Tool this morning and it automatically downloaded the theme right after.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
yep that's what it's supposed to do. ;-) Hopefully it does the same for the 3g version.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gmanvbva:
Just wanted to note that I was on GB HBOOT 6.13.1002 and portions of the Multitool would not work.

Selecting option 4 and upgrading from GB HBOOT 6.13.1002 to HC HBOOT GB HBOOT 6.14.5556 allowed me to flash the HC Stock ROM.

I didn't see anything specifically stating 6.14.5555 or 6.14.5556 were required (here or FAQ).

May be worth noting that you should update to the appropriate HBOOT prior to using the Multitool.

in the FAQ other than contact kevinrocksman.

BTW. The tool rocks. Thank you very much for your time and effort. Donated!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
What part of the tool didn't work?

When u choose option 4 it flashes the beset hboot then flashes hc. It auto updates hboots and downgrades hboots when required. The option that updates .5555 to .5556 is no longer required but I leave it there as a backup. In my video I do say exactly what u need for GB to hc update.

As for instructons...well let's just say that there is something coming "soon" that will tell you any and everything u ever need to know about the view ;-)

Thanks for the donation :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gmanvbva:
After it downloaded the ROM and asked to reboot into recovery... It just froze and I could not get into recovery at all. I could enter the bootloader fine (but still 6.13.1002 HBOOT) but when selecting recovery it just locked on the white HTC screen. I tried the process again and got the same results. I was just going to flash the recovery again from fastboot but saw you mentioned to another user on my HBOOT to do option 4 then option 5 (upgrade HBOOT). I figured it must be safe to just use the tool to update the HBOOT then.

I was watching the video but honestly probably wasn't paying close attention initially since I knew I had winrar, ADB and everything setup.

EDIT: Went back and checked and didn't hear anything mentioned about a specific HBOOT version.

I just ran option 5 to update the HBOOT and then ran option 4 again. Worked perfectly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
U said after it downloaded the Rom it said go to recovery? Which option was that?

When u are on 6.13 GB the option u use to go to HC is option 4 which will update ur hboot and install HC with a hboot of 6.14.5556.

Hm.. Idk some users computers act wierd. Out of 9657 users that have ran versions 7.0-7.8.1 this is the first I have heard of this problem. Lol.

Well if ur at hc now then have fun ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gmanvbva:
Having issues using Multitool to flash CypherROM. I go to recovery and hit enter (after DLing and everything) and it fails when trying to mount the SD card.

I get "device or resource busy".

Or I get "Mounting SD Card" and command window just disappears.

I briefly get some error before the window goes away but cannot read it.

I'll reboot and give it a shot later.

I manually copied the ROM and theme to the SD card for now.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Do u have a sdcard in ur device? Also do u have any other Android devices plugged in? Also do u have HTC view installed?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gmanvbva:
Yes. No. HTC View installed? You mean HTC Sync? If so, No.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Hm do u have the HTC drivers installed? Also have u checked ur devices sdcard to make sure the files are on there? Can u give me 1 hour so I can log on with team viewer and see what's going on?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gmanvbva:
Drivers are installed (using Multitool).

Files are on there now with the manual copy. (mounted USB storage through recovery and copied them over). They were not previously.

I installed CypherROM and the theme through recovery. Rebooting now.

Edit: Staring at a psychedelic boot animation now... Think I'm in a boot loop. Heading home for now. I'll jump in your channel if I get back to this tonight.

I thought I had read something about having to flash ROM's through fastboot now (on HC).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
K. Hm looks like I'm gonna have to modify a few things... It also seems like cypherrom is the most flashed through the multitool than any other Rom. Lol. I will be pushing out a new update this weekend that will address a few problems and a few things will be added to make life easier for users ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] robpet2:
question about how to use the multitool..

it downloads the wifi rom for cypher, and then says to reboot into recovery, and then says press any key to continue, and nothing happens.. tablet is in recovery and still in recovery.. i have revolutionary cwm 4.0.1.4

s off and correct bootloader .. im using clevername rom currently
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
give me about 5 min and ill let u know what to do ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gmanvbva:
Just to update.

The theme for CypherROM seems to be giving me issues (bootloop or touch input FC's).

I loaded CypherROM through receovery and everything seems fine.

I was stuck at the same point robpet2 was.

I received a brief bust device or resource or just a mounting sd card and command window closing.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
ya ive fixed that in my next update this weekend. :-)

Good to go!! Got the executable to work correctly without showing up as a virus!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
multitool helper works now...wow i was lazy lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Thank you all for your support so far within these last couple months.

I'd just say that the tool has been downloaded approximately 10000 times and has been ran over 20000+ times.

KR

It is a fabulous tool -- More great stuff every day

I just tried to install nexus (1-2) boot animation

Downloaded ok, but would not install

Error missing readme file

Reporting to you, as requested

:D

I checked, & the readme folder is there with 3 files in it

I copied one of the readme.txt files to the container folder

& retried, but NG

This was on CleverName v1 GB rom & kernel -- also tried with LoveThyEvo kernel

using MT version 8.2 bat

Thanks !
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
can u please get on my irc channel

http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=htcevo4gmultifunctiontool
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I fixed it.... not a large problem

1. delete the folder named "bootanimations"

2. then rerun the tool and select the boot animation again

MADE A SMALL MISTAKE ON THE ACTUAL ANIMATIONS BEING THAT YOU CAN FLASH THEM WITH AND WITHOUT MY TOOL I FORGOT TO ASSOCIATE THE TWO TOGETHER...STUPID CAPS LOCK..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
servers are syncing right now but my files have got moved over to the other server so the slow speeds should now be faster :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tselling:
Is there a way to go from (GB) S-OFF to S-ON without wiping all data? I cannot flash the security update for GB from HTC while S-OFF. I have two Views and I used this tool to go back to S-ON with one of them but it totally wiped everything on the tablet. I recovered most all with Titanium Backup but it was very time consuming, so if I can go from S-OFF to S-ON, flash the security update, and then go back to S-OFF on the second tablet without it wiping that would be ideal. Thanks for any help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
not 100% tested yet... but if you choose option 14 and then option 1

14. Reflash hboots (only if necessary)

1. HBOOT 1.13.0000 (STOCK)

After the disclaimers

It will say

ERASING CACHE

REBOOTING TO RUU FLASHER

FLASHING HBOOT 1.13.0000 DOWNGRADER

REBOOTING BACK TO FASTBOOT

When it says REBOOTING BACK TO FASTBOOT close out of the tool and unplug ur device and restart the device. Then you SHOULD be back at S-ON (without wiping data). If you try this let me know if it worked.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Wait a second... what security patches?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I don't know what security patch your talking about but I'd recommend researching it to make sure it wont affect s-off capability.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
if anyone wants to update to 8.3 please download the .rar.

The updater is having "difficulties" due to server movement.

Thanks for the patience...​
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tselling:
I got a notification that there was an update for GB. Says its a System enhancement 4.56MB. This new software contains an important security update....

From reading I am guessing its this one:

http://www.goodandevo.net/2011/10/a...es-are-now-receiving-ota-security-update.html

I was able to go back to S-OFF on the first tablet so seems a worthwhile update.

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 AM ----------

Option 14 and 1 not working. When I press Y, nothing happens. This is in version 8.1 of your tool. I tried downloading the rar for 8.3 but the file isn't found. I will have to take another look at this a bit later when I get more time.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
8.3 is up now... man this server is driving me crazy...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
Hi Kevin,

I was checking out the newest version of your tool (8.3). Normally I just flash a ROM through recovery without it, but I wanted to check out all of your hard work. I got to the part where I was in recovery and was ready to install De-Sensed 1.5. It then gave instructions on what to do in recovery to install the ROM and this is where I stopped. My question is, at this point will the tool wipe my data/cache/davlik or do I still need to do that first before getting to this step? I have also noticed on this device that when I try to manually wipe my davlik cache in cwm i get a message that says "E:unknown volume for pat [/sd-ext]" so I always wonder if it really is wiping it (I like that clean fresh feeling on a new ROM). I am used to using Amon Recovery on my phone and have not seen this before. My sd card is not partitioned.

Thanks for everything you and all of the View devs do here :)

P.S. would love to get Amon recovery for this device...just dreaming lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
well as for that error yes it is common, i get it every time. It just means the rom that WAS flashed before wiping didnt make a EXT4 partition. As for the rom install did it actually work with no errors? Did it download the rom and push it to your device with no errors?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
I didn't go through with the download, I wasn't sure if it would do all of the wipes or not. I've read over and over that the wipes are essential to avoid issues so I was a little paranoid. I'll try it out and let you know.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
what it does is it downloads the rom/and or tweaks and mods then pushes them to the sdcard then it instructs u on what to do to install it. Once the files are done downloading and pushed to the device its all manual after that.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
ok so I'll do my wipes first then...thanks:)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
id wait to see if the rom downloads fully first then wipe just incase the download is slow
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
bad news...

the tool will not work for a day or so

i will let you know when it is good to go​

:mad:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bolthousekris:
Hey Kevin thanks again for taking the time to help root my View. Sent you a donation. Did everything you said to do, so far so good. Will comment if I come across any issues.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
It pushed the ROM to my device fine, I did my wipes before installing. Maybe the wipe instructions should be added? Some folks may not be aware of this step...just a thought.

Sent from my PC36100
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
ok the tool is back up and running and there should be no more 5kb/s speed ;-)

i am sorry for the slowness and crapyness of the tool within the last couple of days.

Server swap was the reasoning behind it to give you guys faster speed :-)

:)have fun!:)​

LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEMS.. i RECOMMEND STARTING FROM SCRATCH ON THE INSTALLATION THOUGH..

V8.4 (CAN IN THEORY BE COPIED TO THE SAME FOLDER AS 7.1-8.3)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marisabru:
you saved my life!!! :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
happy to lend a hand
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] brandonc_mail:
Sorry for the newb question- but I'm not too familiar with HTC or the View just yet. I've flashed my Samsung Epic and Nexus S a few times...

I watched your 1st youtube video- but your device was running Gingerbread in that video. I bought my used View and it has honeycomb installed- from the looks of this- it should not matter and I should be able to use your tool and go whever I want (s-off, CWM installed, HC OS, perhaps load a ROM) or do I need to flash back to stock GB before I do anything? ( I thought I saw that no longer matters...but I'd hate to brick this on my 1st try)

Also, I don't see any threads on LeeDroid's ROM for View - has anything similar been ported to our device?

Lastly, does anyone have a flashable tweak (perhaps a d/l in your tool?) that keeps sense but allows the resizing of widgets? Would really like to make the sense widgets slightly different aspect ratios on my homescreens...

Thanks for all the videos and this great tool- this thing is amazing!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
if you have a flyer DO NOT use my tool for downgrading it.

It is meant entirely for the view.

Thanks for the compliment though ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] brandonc_mail:
LOL I said View twice and flyer once in the same post above. (edited post) Thank you- I do realize the 2 are very different and I do indeed have a View.

So I've been doing all this reading up on HOW to root this device and NEVER loaded the bootloader (I know dumb on a used device!!)

To my surprise- IT's got Revolutionary and lists the following:

EXPRESS PVT SHIP S-OFF RL

HBOOT-6.14.5556

MICROP-0656

RADIO-1.05.01.1006_3

eMMC-boot

Oct 25 2011 16:35:13

When I go to Recovery it's got Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4

so- from what I've seen I can just start using your tool to load roms and shouldn't have any issues...

Got any recommendations of where to start with regards to my other questions above or no luck for View owners looking to resize Sense or Lee Droid's ROM?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
um.. cant garauntee no problems lol. But id recommend downloading cypher rom

Option 1 then option 1 or 2 depending on if you want wifi or 3g only then folllow these instructions once it downloads and gets tot he point where it tells you the instructions on how to flash with the tool...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlVLDVdkAyE&list=UU1WjAybMTLAmnwIA1bopIIg&index=1&feature=plcp

...hope thats not to confusing...it confused me lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] brandonc_mail:
Ok, so 1st I did a nandroid to the SD so I backed up what I had which was simply S off and rooted. Removed the SD card (paranoid) then followed your video above... factory, cache partition, format system, dalvik wipes, and then I did a reboot (which I think was my problem- I've never been told to use that option to be honest...) I realized I had yet to have any ROM installed on thecard yet which I thought I would get through your tool... should have questioned before reboothing I know... and now I have a black screen. (ugh) I can only hold power and vol down-and get it to reboot but only toHTC screen and then a black screen...or will that just take a loooooong time to 1st load? Or is it because I didn't flash anything after the sytem format that there's no longer ANY rom for the device to find? (shudder)I can't seem to get it to go to the bootloader- or am I simply just not waiting long enough?

Somehow I finally got it to turn off without rebooting and I am charging it as I'm sure all the flashing and rebooting drove the battery way down and I don't want to zero it out while turned on (which I hear is bad somehow)

So now what? Any pointers/tips/prayers appreciated.

Also realized in hindsight that I didn't notice if Superuser was installed...isn't that odd to have Revolutionary and yet no superuser? Or did I really not see it in the app tray? (suppose it's possible...)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
If you have the time, I am on our IRC channel (see first post) to try and assist. The thing is, when you boot into bootloader, you shouldn't see the HTC screen it should just boot straight to it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] brandonc_mail:
Thanks for the offer- I may take you up on that- but let me see if I can work this out... after letting it sit and charge- I finally was able to get to the bootloader by holding power and down a looooong time. (longer than I had on this device before)

I've wiped cache, dalvik, system wipe AGAIN, and before anything else, I'm flashing the ROM via SD.

I'll let you know if I get things worked out- but shoot- just getting to the bootloader screen again was a good start.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] brandonc_mail:
Ok so a BIG thanks and shout out to ET Heil for the morale support via IRC. Amazing to have you and Kevin available- you guys are hardcore w/ the support hotline! Got no questions about getting the View over the Flyer now.

ROM, Theme, working capacitive buttons- all go!

Never did get around to trying Kevin's tool after all as I'm not a stranger to CWM and just flashed all I needed via SD and CWM- but I plan to check it out after I get some sleep.

FYI- I didn't have to key in the key assignments- I saw they were already there when I went to input them so I guess the .zip was updated to include that step now?

There is a glitch if you change orientation in the app tray the new orientation capacitives won't work till you go to the homescreen... no biggie- however my capacitive menu button works only sometimes... it consistently works in the Market, (aka Play Store) but not in the app drawer, not in Calendar... is this how it works for everyone else?

Oh- and honeybar for .99 is completely worth it. Now if only we can get capacitives to dim after a few seconds... them suckers are bright! I may have to get some tinted window film for them or something.

Also, has it been confirmed the buttons work without the theme? (It is growing on me - love the bigger app drawer for sure) And are there other themes that can be flashed over this one on the View? (curious to see what others have done looks wise too)

Thanks to all the devs involved in all these Roms/themes/hackstools/support- Loving this thing now more than ever!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Glad I could help! Enjoy the View!
