Hey Rocksman can you make the online tool available for download? Alot of the devs links are down and all i have downloaded is desensed 2.1 and for some reason it keeps giving me bootloops after a few days. So i would like to try a different hc rom and if i read it right your online tool lets me download other roms. Thanks in advance
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
Here is the stock kernal you can flash..

http://db.tt/orIt509V

The jmz kernal causes the bootloops, the stock kernal will not.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] davemw2:
And I tried that even flashing it over a fresh install of 2.1 but then my view just hung at the white htc screen for 10 minutes... You think I got a bad download? Whenever i flash a kernel i always wipe dalvik and cache and for some reason it just wouldnt work. Any ideas? Sorry for talking about it in this thread! I Know the rules and wont discuss it any further. A repsonse would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
I've flashed this kernal a few times with Desensed and had no issues. If you haven't done it, let it boot once after flashing the ROM then go back and flash the kernal wiping cache and dalvik.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
yep flash the rom, then reboot, then flash the kernel.

if that doesnt work for you the only version of any rom i have is cypherrom 1.0..... granted i say that is the best one out of all of them but thats just me
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dljor:
why is it stuck at 'wait for device'?

trying to downgrade to GB from stock HC

- i am on stock OTA HC, trying to downgrade to GB

your script is stuck at 'wait for device'... i had drivers installed and the view is connected to the pc. what's going on?

thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
its not my "script" thats stuck at waiting for device. It's waiting for you to go to fastboot, it instructs you to go to fastboot right before you press enter. Any time you see that it means go to fastboot
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] dljor:
Is there a way to install fastboot using your tool set?

i followed the instructions and 'fastboot' is not mentioned anywhere. is unlock the same as fastboot?

my device is currently pure stock...

I haven't been following this for a while. what should be the first step for me? can i use your tool set to do everything if my device is pure stock (with ota HC)?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
if you are doing option 6 (with no unlock from htc) follow this video tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eMyQayN78zQ

If you have unlocked (which I doubt because you don't know what fastboot is) run option 2.

In summary to get to fastboot:

1. Shutdown your device by HOLDING VOLUME DOWN AND POWER UNTIL THE DEVICE RESTARTS TO A WHITE SCREEN with little androids skating at the bottom.

2. You should see FASTBOOT USB HIGHLIGHTED IN BLUE (If you don't press the power button 1 time)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tyoung22:
Im in the same position as dljor. I just started following this but im running option 2 but when its fully complete it says i should have hboot 1.13.xxxx don't know exact number. At the end when I check i still have 1.14.0005. What am i doing wrong?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mikecd234:
Same Issue

I am having the same issue, my Hboot does not match what it says I should have.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I don't know how many times I have to say this..... If you run option 2 (which is the one everyone has a problem with for some reason) make sure to follow the instructions exactly how they say step by step..... You are missing a step (meaning that you are doing a step wrong).

The best I can do besides tell you to try again and follow the instructions exactly down to the T is go to my irc channel on the 1st post for help... I am usually around at night. Right now it is 2:35pm. I will be online around 11:00pm-2:00am and I will help you
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Phred99:
Thanks

Hey Kevin, Just wanted to say 'thanks'. I restored my View to working order in part thanks to you and your hard work. I haven't seen a batch file this epic since the 80s. That's a compliment, trust me.

Donation coming your way!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] richard1075:
Hi Kevin,

I just successfully finished option #4 of your tool, S-off GB to S-off HC. Worked like a charm. I had the video on play and pause while going through the process which helped reinforce what was happening. I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work. Can't imagine how this could be any easier.

Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Thanks man, appreciate it. Not to many donations anymore lol ;).

Well I had very very large plans to make it easier... but had to sell my view so the development stopped... Idk... maybe if I had more time and could pay some of my bills off... I would try to add a few more features (such as making it totally automatic.)

if you have any ideas on how to make this easier please tell ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alaindesjardins:
Anyone here know if this tool works with USCC's HTC Flyer? Looks like it's a View with the Flyer cover. All I want to do is install SuperUser and I have it Unlocked but I'm not sure how to push the files with Fastboot.

It's a 3G Tablet... I don't know many people that have it. Been trying to root it or find the stock files to bring it back to Gingerbread since I updated it to Honeycomb and I can't find the files. I'd rather have a better rom but the Gingerbread one seems to be what it was designed for. The honeycomb rom turns off the hardware buttons and introduces a few more bugs/issues
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
um.. dont know anything about the flyer and usually i would say no dont even think about using this tool or the consequences may be dier BUT once u have a custom recovery and s-off on your flyer u can use option 10 to flash superuser. DONT use any other options though
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alaindesjardins:
That's what I thought. Apparently im one of the few with a USCC flyer, LOL. I didn't even buy it... I won it during the holidays and really it isn't that great the way it is and the data plan that came with it is really making it more expensive than it should be.

I got it unlocked using htcdev but really I can't do much with that can I? I tried flashing a recovery.img with fastboot and it broke the stock recovery so then I upgraded the software with the only stock RUU I could find which is Honeycomb. Now the tablet doesn't have hardware buttons and I am having other issues with it. HTC says they won't revert it to Gingerbread and the USCC Techs say they don't have the files to reflash it.

Right now, I would just like to have root... I thought fastboot could push files, but I guess it can't?

Ugh, I should have never played with that Nexus 7 tablet at Sam's Club. I thought I could breathe life into this HTC Flyer and put it to use... but I guess I'm stuck, for now!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
lol u flash the superuser through recovery not fastboot, here is the section about the flyer. u'll find some good info over here:

Hey Kevin, do you know if the stock HC or GB are available through your tool still since Goo had their issues? I want to go back to stock unrooted so I can sell my View. TIA :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
man.. everyones sellin thier views.. that sux man. ya if your on hc just run the option to downgrade to gb s-off then the option to s-off to s-on

that will bring you back to gb stock with s-on (or just run the downgrade to gb s-off to have s-off gb stock)

or you can try options 7 or 8 (never fully tested though) meant to flash just the roms
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
Thanks I'll let you know if I try 7 or 8. The View was fun but I want a 10 inch tablet and there's some good price points on them now. I wish things had gone farther here for this device. You helped the development on it immensely :thumbup:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] richard1075:
I'm not selling mine yet. I've got three of them in the family, one on a two year data plan with Sprint. Just waiting on someone to perfect ICS or JB. I appreciate you restoring files to Goo.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
no prob, someone also brought my attention to the online one not working at all, working on fixing that now
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alaindesjardins:
Problem is... I cannot find a recovery that works. When I flash the recover, all I get when I try to go to Recover is a white screen that says HTC and it stays there indefinitely. I have to flash back the only RUU I have which is HoneyComb to get recovery to work again. So I can't push SU if I can't get recovery to work.

I tried recoveries for the view and pretty much all the recoveries I could find and they all result in the same behavior. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
have u tried option 11?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] alaindesjardins:
Yay! You rock :)

I have the recovery! Thank you soooooooooooo much.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bacoksai:
hey kevin, I've downgraded my View from stock S-On HC to stock S-On GB then do the revolutionary using your offline tools.

the thing that make me confused is that I can't do the nandroid backup on the recovery before the downgrade process :(

it says that E: can't find cache\recovery\command and some other stuff... tried the method posted by xda members by formatting the sd card from the pc then reformatting it over the device, still no luck.

so I decided to wipe everything inside my tablet and lost all of my apps.

anyway, this is a really great tool tho...

another question is, I am on a custom CGROM_RC2.2 JB now, S-Off & rooted. how can I flash it to stock GB S-Off & rooted? or stock HC S-Off & rooted?

I've tried the option 1-2 and 1-3 from the multitool helper over this custom rom without any luck. the device won't reboot to fastboot or recovery, so I have to do it manually.

thanks.

EDIT*

one more thing, I saw your thread about changing the boot animation the other day. does this also works on custom roms? or does this is just for the stock rom?

thanks

Just checking

Hey Kevin, I have had a stock honeycomb tab for a while now and I think it is time for an upgrade. I have read through some of the post, however it seems pretty confusing with upgrades to your tool and whatever else. I am use to working with samsung, which semes to be much easier when it comes to rooting and getting a custom recovery. Can you give me, or point me to hte right place, the quick way to get to H.C. rooted with custom recovery. I want to try some of these jellybean roms. :)

Will donate for help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
you will want to run option 6 and follow all the instructions (if option 6 doesnt work after 2 tries then htcdev unlock and run option 2)

after that you will be GB S-ON

Then you will have to run option 0 and watch the video and you will have GB S-OFF

Then run option 4 to go to HC S-OFF

then u can flash the JB roms
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mattyhank:
Wow that was fast, I will let you know how it goes later tonight when I get home from work. Really appreciate it.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tttuning:
how do you go from a ICS rom to factory state locked??? i'm wanting to sell the tablet thanks
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
option 3 then option 1 ;) That will give you S-ON GB
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] yunchuli:
Hi, Kevin

I went exactly the steps as you suggested mattyhank:

option 6 -> option 0 -> option 4

However, when I tried to run option 12, I get the error when running this line:

%adb% shell mount /sdcard

"mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory"

so I tried to mount sdcard from recovery menu:

mounts and storage -> mount /sdcard

but I still get "Error mounting /sdcard" message

Did I mess up anything? Or any extra step should be run before running option 12? Thanks~
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
do u have a sdcard in the back of the device?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jataadroid:
hey just got my replacement view and again having issues getting s-off. running side by side with the video keeps gettin me to "waiting of device" not sure what im doin wrong. after pressing power+vol-/+ and then pressing y and enter on the pc gets me that msg every time. any help when you have time would be great thanks.

keep rebooting to HC with no notification bar lol a lil hard to use.

htc view 4g activation reboot

iam a newbie. upgraded my view from gb to hc via ota. downloaded 300 applications on it for the kids and it worked fine for 1 month solely on wifi. lately the 4g activation logo keeps rebooting every 2 minutes but it is not bricked. took it to the sprint store they said i have too many applications thus need a hard or factory reset. i dont want to go that route again because my cousin already did that for me the first time it happened. i need to root this and find the lastest workable OS either HC or ics that can have a adhoc patch add on after rooted. please point me to the right direction because the information on xda is great but overwhelming at the same time. thank you for your time.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
well 1st thing you have to look at is memory use. How much memory is being used? second is no matter what you do the tablet (relating to changing the system) it will wipe it. Bootloops can be common on a modified tablet with a custom kernel but yours is stock so that is an interesting one. My tool will get you to s-off gb or s-off hc. Granted I say get rid of HC and go back to GB s-on or s-off and try that. Using option 6 will bring you down to GB S-On but will delete everything (downgrading will always delete everything). There may be a "special way" to backup all the apps but the problem with that is it "may" cause a lot of FC when you restore data from a HC system to a GB system
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jijiquang:
Now I am not sure if it is rooted or not (or rooted wrong by my cousin). When I used emulator I see $ sign then I typed "SU" but was denied so I thought it is not rooted. I was trying to delete some of sprint 4g apk by using ESfilexplorer but I couldn't. I see the files but just couldn't delete them.

today I tried holding vol down + power , this is what I see but don't know what it means or what to do with it:

well I didn't know what I did but nothing has changed. the 4g activation screen is still up every 2 minutes. Please tell me what I have and how I can fix this. Thank you Kevin.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
when u typed "su" was it lowercase or upper?

Did u run option 10 to flash superuser?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jijiquang:
I didn't sellect lower case or upper case. it's whatever the keyboard in the emulator gave me. but I'll try the lower case "su" later his afternoon because i forgot to bring the tablet with me. I didn't install Revolution so my cousin probably did all that. now i need to know which options he flashed to.

I am curious why you had suggested to downgrade to GB? don't we all want the lastest, rootable, and supported OS since newer apps are designed for them. JB is out there so GB is relatively 3 version back. my guess it's more stable for HTC view 4g (?) thanks Kevin.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I do specifically say gb is better but i do prefer it. as in the recent posts i am telling you the steps i would usually use to get to where im going. in the case of this i said that proccess because im not sure if the "flash hc" works.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jijiquang:
thanks. lower case su granted emulator access. i have about 4gb left on sd1 and 7gb on sd2. what do i need to do next?

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jijiquang:
Hi Kevin,

sorry I didn't understand the process at first. the device is probably rooted since emulator was granted SU access. what is the best route to get rid of the 4g activation loop and to add ad-hoc to it? thanks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
that one i cant help you with... those files got wiped when goo went down. I didnt have a copy...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
Graffixnyc created this zip to stop the device from trying to connect to 4G at boot up if that's what you're looking for. Don't know if it works with another ROM other than his but you can try. Just make a nandroid backup in case it borks your tablet. Just flash it in recovery wiping cache and dalvik first.

Great tool and developer

Kevin, I can’t thank you enough for all your help, you are a true asset to the xda community.

For everyone else that’s considering using this tool. This is a great piece of work that significantly simplifies the required steps to accomplish the described goals. Using this tool does not add any more risk to doing these actions as following the steps themselves (actually reduces risk by ensuring important steps are not missed.)

Most importantly Kevin (tool developer) is very responsive, VERY helpful and dedicated to ensuring the quality of his tool.

Enjoy

Thanks Kevin Thanks Casmi,

I flashed the removehandfree zip as instructed but nothing changes. guess I need to wipe everything clean. When i do a factory reset does it unroot my device? sorry if I asked a newbie question. I am learning so much in 1wk but still scratching the surface. I know you hate this question " what's the best rom?" so I won't ask it. instead, I am asking what are you currently using on yours. That way I know which Rom is prefered by the experts. thanks. I actually don't know what I am talking about. What about this one:

[CG ROM][RC2.3][9/21][AOKP][Jelly Bean][HTC VIEW]
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I havent had that tablet for months now. I used to run cypher rom but that can be a pain to install. As for factory reset no it wont make u lose root.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] casmi:
I have run the Desensed ROM primarily but it has some lag with the launcher. Tried CG a while back but it was a little too buggy for me. It seems to have progressed well so I may give it another try. What ever you flash, always have a nandroid of stock to go back to if needed.

What is the process to get stock Honeycomb -> downgrade to GB -> root -> rooted Honeycomb?

I ask because:

A) The FAQ was removed / deleted.

And B) Option 2 Downgrade STOCK HC to GB says "NOT DONE YET".

What is the proper sequence to perform this?

Thank you!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
ya that wont ever get done... but here you go

option 6 (if option 6 doesnt work you will have to hcdev unlock and do option 2 but there have been very few cases "when people read and do everything 100% of the instructions before pressing enter" where it doesnt work.

then

once on gb

option 0 (for root) S-OFF GB

then

to go to HC S-OFF

option 4
