hm.. were does it say s-on to s-off? After u press option 1? I appoligize I will fix this tonight. Option 1 puts u from s-off to s-on

I will try to add s-on to s-off a little later

To get s-off you have to go to revolutionary.io and download revolutionary and enable usb debugging on the tablet on the revolutionary website choose

View

hboot 1.13

(enter serial number)

and push generate

copy and paste that code into revolutionary and it will flash ur device to s-off

if the device doesnt reboot and it says (rebooting once moar) and u press the volume up or down button and it doesnt do anything then press and hold the volume up and volume down button till the device reboots back to the bootloader and select fastboot it will then ask you if you wanat rec overy press Y

then you use my tool to go to GB s-off to HC S-OFF with option 4. I also made a video tutorial in the middle of my thread (on the first post) that shows u exactly what should happen with option 4

let me know how it goes
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WestRoxbury:
Error in title ...

Thanks for the fast reply. I've already watched the video re option 4 and it was very helpful. The confusion arose from the first video listed in your first post: Option 1 S-ON to S-OFF------------------------------NOT DONE YET ... I just wasn't sure if the tool did everything or if other steps were necessary. Thanks for describing the revolutionary steps.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Ohh I see. I need to change that to help with mass confusion thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Wait. Are u talking about the video labeled (old) saying s-on to s-off
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WestRoxbury:
Video Title

No, the video is listed on your first post under "Instructional Videos" The same post that has the download link for the latest version of the too.

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 PM ----------

OMG ... just looked again (4th or 5th time) and you are correct ... there is a very small (old) listed in the title ... everything else is very large and the vids seem current. Sorry for confusion I double apologize ...

Maybe it would be better not to list the title for old vids on the same page where the current tool is downloaded from.

Anyway, thank you so much for your work on this project!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
ya i think ill delete that ;-)

Added option 10 tutorial (Install Superuser)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] drenner99:
Kevin. Thanks for your continuing efforts to make your tool better.:)

I noticed a minor issue in the script for installing the andmer ROM. I see that you added verbage about that ROM being GB and asking for confirmation before continuing to d/l files (thanks for that). But, after the script finishes downloading the necessary files, there is another confirmation that says, "You <<must>> have a custom recovery, S-off and

HC

. I think that should be GB, no? Not a biggee but may cause some confusion.

I also had an issue when testing the script (in V7.2) for downloading viperboy ROM, in that it downloaded an incomplete .zip (13k), but it was still seen as being valid when the script was re-run. It did not try to re-download, but rather just went to the installation instruction. Have not seen this mentioned before, so may just be me, but I don't know if you have built-in error checking for those files.

I would also like to suggest that you modify the OP and faq to include the prerequisite for using revolutionary tools. That would make the information for using your tool complete and might keep new users from assuming that the tool includes all necessary steps to access all its features.

Oh, and one more thing - could you explain the need to place newer versions of the tool in a separate folder? I'm assuming some of the files are changing and others may not. Can I safely assume that large folders like GBUPDATE, HCUPDATE and DEVELOPERS that have previously been downloaded can be copied or moved into the new version's root folder?

Thanks again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
WOW. Great review!

To start

I try the best I can every day to help the community the best I can, If its not being able to program ROMS and APPS its batch files ;-)

Hm nice catch, no ones brought that up before. Ill fix it in the next version :-)

Someone "testing" my script for me? Looks like ETHeil has some competition ;-) lol. Yes I have not put HASH checks in for the Developers roms yet, that will be in the next version also, as for using 7.2 the Viper rom was a link for the EVO 3d rom... that was a mistake on my part but its fixed now in 7.4.

I was thinking of doing that but just havent had time. (Hopefully) in the next version i have revolution download with the tool and automatically open the website with the instructions on how to use it... but thats gonna take a bit. As I go along the video tutorials I will be making one for the revolutionary tool.

Yet again its awesome that u noticed those folders never change ;-) Well... long story short I have modified certain "things" that allow the tool to run also finding a few corrupt files and fixing them so they download correctly in the version I post. Most of the time GBUPDATE, HCUPDATE and DEVELOPERS "can" be copied over but.. Im not 100% sure if all the files are good to copy. Granted I wouldnt see a problem with trying since all I really modify is the main tool files.

In the next versions it will check for the files first (on ur computer) then copy them over to the tool (next version) but i am also adding a "update" option soon that will allow people to update the tool without having to go to the thread every time.. right now i have it so it checks for v7.4 and tell u u HAVE to update but I don't like that... and i'm guessing neither does anyone else..[/QUOTE]

Hope I answered all your questions ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I try to push out a video every day.. but tomorrow I will be working 30 hours straight so I wont have a chance.Sorry to disappoint anyone :-(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] xxxdc5:
SON OF A......yeah for a second I forgot how different the internals are on each NAME thought they're essentially the same damn device LOL. I forgot that one size doesnt fit all. Damn I hate this thing. lol. Thanks anyways and for your time!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
I don't consider it competition, more like back-up as fast as you are updating the information! Plus, working on the projects that I have "in-the-works" for the Multi-tool, I will take all the help I can get! LOL
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
true it is going to be a dosey! ;-)

help upgrading

Hi maybe can help me, i have an evo view with gb and i did s-off with revolutionary, in the s-off process i got an error like failed make limonade or something, but finally i see i have s-off. I use the multitool to upgrade to hc i follow all the spteps as mention in one video tutorial, but in the part of boot to recovery, i get stuck on htc logo, so the only way to revert is the option to s-off to s-on in multitool, then i back to stock gb. So what im doing wrong? maybe is the problem of the recovery? anyway i cant turn the view on after that step, just stuck on the htc logo.

Thanks for any suggestion, and sorry for my english
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
please go ahead and get back on the.orc channel and ill try to help you out
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] janocool:
ok, im on the irc now as jonacanar, thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] janocool:
I have problems with the tool but the reason was my antivirus (av), so try it with the av off, it should run just fine.

If you already run in trouble redownload the tool and the files with the av off.

Thanks a lot to the developer, really great person, help me a lot.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
to those certain few I am sorry I was busy for a couple hours.. my work day consisted of 30 hours and I got off work and wasn't all there. I will defiantly be there for you all on the weekend :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cutter311:
Hmmm...for whatever reason, I still have no joy when Revolutionary starts...Set my device to USB Debuggin', restated View a couple times, swapped USB ports...The PC is seeing it, but Revo isn't

Any thoughts?

EDIT: nm...I had to install the HTC Driver tool, thang...back on track :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Check ur pm

Nvm LOL good
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I probably should have put that in the instructions....crap next version
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cutter311:
damn...you are on it...Thanks for jumping in so quickly, I appreciate it. Everything went according to plan, and then I Option 10'ed it...

I'm always astounded (and grateful) that folks are willing to share their knowledge on places like this...Fantastic stuff...

Now, I have to decide what do mess w/ next :D

Thanks Kevin, this is great work and good stuff for a new View owner looking to goof around.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JetSurly:
Have to say, KevinRocksman definitely rocks. this guy needs a job working for google or something! Thanks again man, it was a pleasure getting assistance from ya. Tablet is on its way back to Gingerbread land
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Will this work on my iPhone? :p
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
LOL nope
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Damn, this isn't iPhone-developers?!? wtf! :p

this tool rocks like it's creator.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
if you have any version between 5.0 and 6.9 you will not be able to use any version between 5.0-6.9 after the 4th (at noon).

you can still use 5.0-6.9 options only if you have used them before.

i am sorry for any inconvenience...​
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I need 1 person to try this out for me. I have figured out why the tool doesn't work for people that have Chinese and other languages.

this has been tested and works (so nvm lol)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Huge makeover!

If you have v7.5 it will be updated to v7.6

if you have any version between 6.5 and 6.9 they will no longer be supported or work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
Wow Kev I can't believe how much you have done with this in such a short time...nice work!!! Hard to believe just a short time ago you helped me root with V4. I wish you developed for the OG EVO 4G :o

This community is much better with you here...THANKS!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Lol thanks. V4 was when I was out in the middle of nowhere training ;-)

Now back at home I have about 8 hours a day and 20 hours on weekends to work on it so I have a ton of free time especially when I get out of the military in 62 days...just need to find a job lol.

As for any other device idk what Im going to do. If I get a great job once I get out I might buy some new devices and start learning how to do roms and tweaks, maybe even apps.

I really do appreciate all the feedback, donations, and support the community has given me :'-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
I'll teach ya! ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 2fastkuztoms:
one question, I'm on a custom HC rom with s-off, and I want to downgrade to GB.

All that I need is to use option 6, right?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
it would be option 3 my friend
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Im gonna guess since Ive had no one on the IRC channel or any messages lately my tool is working wonderfully :-). Granted when things are working right I get lonely lol ;-)

Any more Ideas for the tool?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
also if you used my fixed (cough cough) the 8 people that have downloaded it (cough) let me know how it works out for ya.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] elmanortega:
wooowww man this is in china lang man

i dont understang a bit shhhhhnitttt

holy cow
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
please tell me this is sarcasm ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] elmanortega:
im on it now

going from hc to gb

to be able to s-off

then to install all the good stuff

ill report back soon
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
goo server is down for the next 30 min...sorry...

If you are having problems with the tool let me know.

:(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] elmanortega:
ohhhh ok

after 5 hours of downloading i was going crazy trying to find out why the software went nuts
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
lol...ya sorry, its back up now lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] elmanortega:
its all good man

question

wich rom are you using right now

whats the best rom out there

and what are you thinking right now we are gonna see en the next month or so in this tablet?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Well, I know kevinrocksman was using ViperROM recently...not sure about right this second. The thing is, each ROM has advantages and disadvantages. One ROM may be perfect for you, but it won't work for me. We have a small number included with the multi-tool, and I would recommend checking them all out. Basically, it is going to come down to personal preference. Hope this helps :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] skroegerj:
Thanks to kevinrocksman for help downgrading to GB. Server issues and a li'l stupidity on my part contributed to making the process harder than it is. Multitool is GOLD! :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
um..hm

Answer 1: Well I use to use Viperrom all the time....but it has "problems" that need to be addressed before I continue using it. It may just be my tablet. Now i am on and off on Cypher rom.

Answer 2: I don't like to "favor" just 1 rom, I like to be equal on all but so far GB roms are my favorite but that is slowly changing thanks to a "few" developers here.

Answer 3. Well I know a "bit" but I really can't say anything... but all I can say is that there are a few that ar working on some awesome projects... I think this tablet will flourish for quit a while being that it is cheap and AWESOME!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Maine_Coon:
OK, that takes care of my question :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
first is a partial and the other is to finish. :-)

Getting writing zip/failed remote not allowed on the 529436kb zip write? Thanks again, what am I missing?

Edit: Well the process zapped my recovery and view won't boot (hang on white screen of death) but left both Soff and HBoot 6 (revolutionary) intact.....rerunning ARUWizard and going to give it another go!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I sent you a PM
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Does it fail at sending the zip the 1st time? and does it flash the 2nd time?

or does it fail on both?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Does it fail at sending the zip the 1st time? and does it flash the 2nd time?

Check your PM
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
For those of you having problems PM me, I fixed the "Getting writing zip/failed remote not allowed on the 529436kb zip write"" problem in V1.2. I just want to test it 1-2 time more before I release it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] japclev:
Ty for all the help...problem solved and back to stocked unroot...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
no prob! :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GODZSON:
Stickied,thx for the share to the community..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Awesome :'-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] invensmaster:
It fails on both
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] invensmaster:
V1.2

Ok it went trough

So i tryed the the v1.2 and i got a sucsses

It took some time though but i ended s-on with Hboot 1.13.0000

so now i will go on and do the HT OTA and see how things will go then later maybe by tomorrow i will try to reverse back to Gb. any specific steps i should do before attempting the downgrade? also i am not sure if i should be s-off and rooted on HC before the downgrade?

Any ways for now you did a great job and congratulation on the automated s-off on gb

will update u with any news my side

Thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I think hes working on that right now. I think thats what we did to mine the other day but I'm not sure.

Im not sure, hopefully globatron answers that for me :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] invensmaster:
well i tryed hc did not seem to like it or may be i did ot just give it enough time...thought to go back to Gb.. so i tryed the secounf option of downgrading but it is no go. It keeps saing my device is locked.. coz i did not find how to unlock the bootloader with rev on HC . so i am stuck on Hc till someone find a way to unlock bbootloader
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
there's a way, globatron has a way (not sure if its done yet) but one way if I'm correct (correct me if I'm wrong) You use the HTC unlock then you follow the instructions on globatron's s-off page. I'd wait till someone verifies that before you try that though :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rodhvac:
Please i cant figure how to get back to GB , s-off on Honeycomb on view not ota
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Just wait a bit longer. Globatron is only one person. He has to sleep too :-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
The downgrader is up
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
If anyone has an ideas on making this program easier to understand and use please let me know. Recommend pm me
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] awtryau89:
I like where you are headed with these comments. I am also on Viper GB but probably going to switch to Cypher very soon. I hope more developers get involved.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] elmanortega:
thanks man

i think you are right this is cheap and awesome we need a very good kernel, can we get a kernel dev to work on this baby?

if we get a very good rom and an awesome kernel we will have one of the best tablets out there
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
That we know of, HTC has yet to release the source for the View kernel. Rest assured that once they do, we can have things like capacitive buttons and our screen size back!:cool:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
...as I said surprises await
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Yeah we haven't had luck building any kernels either for GB or HC. The HW is similar to that of the evo shift, but there are still things that have to be merged in to work properly. As we will be getting ICS soon, or be porting it from a euro rom, Cayniarb has decided not to make a GB kernel.

I hate GB on the View. period. I have had this since it launched and hated having a pen that I couldn't do anything with. Now I use it all the time. Honestly the current beta for CypherROM pales in comparison to the final build which is 99% finished.

I wish I had more knowledge to do stuff like Leedroid's team does, but as his job is to work on android and mine is to sell android devices, my time to learn and apply things is limited. Once the final build comes you guys will be in for a treat as there are no other roms like it for the view.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] elmanortega:
well this is awesome and i am too a seller here in costa rica, i need a good suplyer can we talk?

and i would like to donate to that rom

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] elmanortega:
its not much but at least its something enjoy

im still downloading the hc rom to go back from gb to hc

and then super user

and cypher rom

i cant wait
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] :
Kevin came through again

This guy is amazing at what he does and I commend him for it. Thanks Kevin!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gadgetgirl88:
another noobie question

Hi, I also bought one of those fire sale Views and paused briefly before updating to HC, which I actually like, except for the various apps I can no longer use. I want to downgrade to GB and I just downloaded your latest version of the tool and then read through all these posts to try and ensure I don't do anything stupid. It looks like as of the latest version there are not too many issues, but just wanted to be sure that all I have to do is run the tool. I have stock HC updated OTA from GB and this is my first Android anything. It looks like I use option 2, correct?

Thanks in advance
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] elmanortega:
are you s-on?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
well the true question is do you want root or no?

If you just want to go back to GB you do option 6 (option 2 will also work but don't recommend it)

After you are back at GB, if you want root you run option 0

then

option 10

hope this answers your question. if you need help get on my irc channel at the very top of the page and i can physically walk you through it step by step or (even do it for you) lol

also sorry I didn't notice this post till 30 min earlier...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
yes she said she did the OTA from GB so yes she is S-ON, HC and no root.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gadgetgirl88:
Thanks

Thanks for replying as I see it's slowed down a bit here. And thanks for giving me the right option #. I will probably try tonite when I get home. No problem on the late reply, I was too tired to try last night after reading all the posts in this forum and the other one with you and Globatron. I was afraid I would have to send my View back to HTC to downgrade until I found this. I know I haven't tried I yet, but you still rock! I will post back how it goes.

---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------

Sorry, forgot to answer your question, no I don't want to root or rather dont care as I am not in need of it that I know of, if that makes sense.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gadgetgirl88:
Sweet Gingerbread Success!!!

Thank you so much for such an easy to use tool, all it takes is time, everything else is done for you!!!! This is fantastic!! I am so happy to be back to GB! I might have to go investigate all that other stuff, like rooting now that you made it so easy! I will be sending a donation your way, I am kind of broke so sorry, but thank you so much!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] sanmiguel213:
Hi,

Since I got my View (December 19th) I 'm trying to root it with no luck.

I upgraded to HC but didn't liked, so following globatron's guide downgraded to GB, but what I really want is root it.

Thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
if you are on GB just run option 0 and it will run u through how to unlock ur device. Once you are done with option 1 (revolutionary) then run option 10 and you will have root

Just make sure you follow EVERY instruction and read EVERYTHING before pressing any button lol.

Hope this helps
