[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
1. option 2

2. option 0

if option 2 has a problem then do

option 6

option 0
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] monyozt:
not working :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Ok, could you be a little more specific? What is not working, where did the process fail, what were you trying to do etc.?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] monyozt:
Just follow Kevin instructions but my view still on gb.. waiting him to remote my PC. Good night
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
Ok, but in your original post you stated it was on HC and you wanted to downgrade to GB. My apologies, I'm not trying to be difficult but there is conflicting info here.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] monyozt:
yes.. its stock HC and already unlocked bootloader.. try to back tp GB and s-off but ended with no luck :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RED ZMAN:
Amazing work my man. Just used the HELL out of this today.

I wish more developers would help out users by doing things like this.

HBOOT 1.14.0005

Was unlocked, used Option 2, showed three fails, finally ended up showing "Relocked". Tried Option 6, showed two bin files not found, same HBOOT, still Relocked.

Am I still able to use Option 0? Per the pdf, I think not. Ideas, suggestions? Thanks.

ETA - forgot to mention. Was stock HC also.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I noticed you got on irc for a second then logged off. Unless (after) running option 6 you have hboot 1.13.0000 then no u r not good to go in which case you need to contact me through irc
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] toenail_flicker:
Really appreciate your help. Wonderful tool!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kudosmog:
Downloading new tool, hash doesn't match but size is correct.

Usually I wouldn't use the download, but you think it's allright?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Ya that's prob the hash for 8.4 I say go ahead and use it ;-). It checks all hashes of all files itself

Using my awesome EVO 3D! While working! shh..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I have corrected the hash. That was a bad on my part
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
There you go.(For all those that are having trouble with the online version) I present the offline version. For those of you that like downloading files that are over 1GB ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] paradox183:
Just wanted to say that the multitool worked great - I'm now upgraded on HC. However, the offline multitool gave me some "file not found" or "folder not found" errors before I got to the main menu. I checked the hashes so it wasn't an incomplete download. I didn't want to risk any problems so I used the online version and it worked fine.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Hm after looking at it you are correct my good man. But since you ran the online version you are good to go on the offline version. You were missing 2 files but nothing major. Just for fun go ahead and run the offline version to the point of the error and tell me if its still there ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wyldkard:
damn kev, you really uploaded a GB sized file! gonna be a strain on the bandwidth but at least it auto updates so we wont have to download a gig every time

props
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
well.. u r correct (kinda). Right now that's the offline version. The problem Im having is how to update it

Right now it will not auto update and neither will the online version

Either:

A. Add it as a seperate download (patch)

B. Let the user choose to update with a option

C. Make it auto update...seems like I've had a few problems with this do to server restrictions.

What do you think would be the best?

Remember though the offline version isn't a necessity its just a option. The online one is much smaller but works "just as well"
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
I have noticed a minor glitch that renders the offline version useless..

To fix it all you have to do is run the online option and get to the main menu with the options 1-15 (give or take)

then

exit and start it and enter offline mode and it should work perfectly...

sorry for the inconvenience but i will be fixed in the next release.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] wyldkard:
well, lets face it, dev section on the view is pretty slow to update so option B would make the most sense (pun intended) to me

for you to update a gig sized file every time and re-upload it and have people re-download it would be a waste of time and effort on both sides

but then, it all depends on how easy/hard it is to add in those kind of options. I actually think the online version is perfect as it lets you download only what you need and nothing more

keep up the good work bro
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] quickquest88:
problems with both versions

just downloaded v10. trying to get from hc to gb. sick of slow ass hc. option #3

watched the video(when it asks if you want to watch a video, answer yes, it takes you to video for #4).

the yellow screen didnt say anything other than path or file not found.

if i run the offline version, it will close the window after it talks about forcing the hboot (which i already have).

if i run the online version, it will get past the hboot section, and give an error about "." being an unrecognized command. then it will say the files in the ./programfiles folder all have bad md5s. thats why i went and tried the online version.

should i move the folders out of the folder i have them in and move them all to the root folder? right now they are in c:/user/downloads/multitool_v10_offline.

50 some odd pages is hard to read through, sorry if this has been answered
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
..hm that's odd. Can you please get on my irc channel, id love to see what's going on.

This is another thing that is odd...

KEVIN ROCKS MAN!!!! lol.

no really, he does. got on irc with me and fixed the issues i was having.

we got 'em fixed and everything is running well.

now, if only we could get HTC to support that well. hell, if i could get ANY company to support that well.....

again, thanks dude, you are the best,

TO ANYONE WHO DOWNLOADED V10!!!!

YOU NEED TO DOWNLOAD THIS!!!!!

CLICK HERE FOR V10.1 PATCH (OFFLINE)

OR

CLICK HERE FOR V10.1 PATCH (ONLINE)

THERE WAS A SMALL ERROR ON MY PART.. JUST EXTRACT THIS UPDATE TO THE SAME FOLDER AS v10
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
oops. Wrong links. Updated now
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
I have HBoot 1.14, but revolutionary just gives me an option for 1.13. Should I proceed with the previous Hboot to generate the key, or would that put me on the path to bricking? I just want root, and my TB always had the correct Hboot.

EDIT- Nevermind. It says not supported. Can I downgrade using this tool to get to a previous Hboot version, then root?

EDIT2- It appears as if I have partially been answered above. Not sure how I missed that post, sorry.

EDIT3- Option 6 or 2?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
lol alot of edits. Well in the case of NOT being htcdev unlocked you want to run option 6.

Make sure you read ever instruction carefully as they appear.

If you need help just go to my irc channel on the 1st post.

There really is no fear in destroying your device. I have helped a total of 300+ people myself personally and I have not heard of a single person out of the 30000+ people that have viewed my thread destroy their device completely :-)

Wifi issue after downgrading to GB

First of all, amazing work, Kevin. :)

Anyway, I have a little issue here. It has been 3 days of research in and out of XDA to find an answer, but for now, all has been in vane.

I first made my View S-OFF with Revolutionary during its GB phase, with everything working buttery smooth. I then decide to do the S-OFF upgrade to HC - everything went A-OK. I get bored of HC and decide to go back to S-OFF GB, so I go ahead and make a backup, wipe everything for an obvious fresh start, then head in for the kill. When I am finally done with the initial setup, I go and try to connect to my home's wifi network, one which has been working flawlessly for the device since it arrived. Turns out that it accepts the networks, gets an IP address and all, but when I jump into a browser nothing wants to load (nor the market), and it's as if I didn't have any network at all - mind you, still connected to it, with perfect signal strength.

Things I have already tried:

1. Re-flashing S-OFF GB.

2. Connection through another network - my cellphone's hotspot - works, but not feasible due to obvious reasons.

3. USB internet pass-through from my main PC - again, works, but not feasible due to the need for portability.

4. Assigning a static IP.

5. Restarting my modem.

None of the above have worked or are reasonable enough to address my issue. When I changed networks (only ever happened in re-flashed GB, not original one), that scan-forever bug sticks until I mess with other settings or restart the device - not a problem. When I was in S-OFF HC I could connect to every single network without a sweat, even if I had to end up applying static IPs due to that reconnection bug - not such a big problem either.

What the heck is wrong with my View now? :confused: Could it be a badly-flashed modem? Could it be my home network? :(

"Wifi issue after downgrading to GB"

Have you tried turning WiFi of then on again ?

I have to do that now on then to get it to connect to my WiFi.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
Don't let it happen again ;)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] E.T.Heil:
I noticed you said you did a backup...are you restoring information from this backup after installing gb?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
ET!?! Where have you been bro?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Pancho Punch:
The back-up made was on stock HC. I didn't restore a single file. I just got my hassle saved by kevinrocksman and reflashed a fresh HC rom plus a few other stuff, with everything working as intended now. ;) I'm just going to stick to beautiful HC and its roms, because if it ain't broken, I ain't touching it.

Thanks for the help, guys!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
Kevin....two things.

Getting ready to take the plunge and use your tool.

First...I DLd the offline version and it pops up an MD5 sum mismatch for quite a few of the files when I chose option 4. Just thought you'd want to know.

So....I'm going with the online version. My question is we need to download both the version and the patch...correct? What is the patch for? What do we do with those files? Run the tool from the patch folder or from the regular tool folder? It's confusing....for me anyway.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
on the offline version did u download V10 and the patch (V10.1)?

The patch is for a few things I missed that make the tool run correctly, It was a few problems I had when converting the tool from online only to offline and online.

Once downloaded extract all files into one folder, if it asks u to overwrite anything say yes.

If you run the tool and it asks something like (7zip (S)Skip all files blah blah blah) type S for skipping the files.

If you need help dont be afraid to get on my irc channel. I will help you out
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] GoodVibrant-ions:
Thanks man.....probably gonna flash to HC tomorrow. It all makes sense now. Love the support of the tool too...feels like if I were to mess something up I'd have help. Planning to donate once everythings up and running.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Remember the irc is always there ;-).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cardude280:
problem with revolutionary

I'm having a problem trying to run revolutionary (option 0). It reboots into fastboot fine but it never does the second reboot, and when I try to force restart it as mentioned in the video it never reboots while i'm holding the power and vol down buttons. :confused:

Any suggestions and thanks for the great tool
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Trust me if you hold down power and volume down IT WILL reboot. It might take a bit longer than others but JUST KEEP HOLDING till it reboots ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JetSurly:
So with this, can i get my view back to bone stock? If so, is that the option that says from GB to GB? Will that install the stock RUU?

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

Sorry, i should state that i am rooted and running viper rom GB
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
option 1 will return u back to (stock)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] JetSurly:
Once again, this tool has saved my a$$. Let me know if you want some help rewording/marketing the tool a little bit.

No doubt in my mind that we could go from 67.85% easy to use to 100% :D

The only thing that confused me in the two times I used this is what each one does. Although very easy to understand the options, I had difficulty understanding what option 1 specifically did. Maybe i am just an android noob?:confused:

Thanks again!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cardude280:
I got it working, thank you though and as everyone has said, amazing tool :)

I ended up having to try a different computer (USB problems on my end)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] spartan1987:
This tool sucks. It never works with my iPhone even though I swear I have iTunes installed correctly and hit option one, something GB, whatever....

I might use it again if it can jailbreak and unlock iOS 5.1 like everybody else... :rolleyes:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Demonhawk1313:
I'm about to use your tool to root and was curious if I need wifi access on the tablet. I can use the passthru feature, but this requires the HTC drivers to be installed on the PC. I'm at work without wifi, but can wait until I get home if needed. Thanks for any help
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
The tablet doesnt require any type of wireless, yes u WILL have to install the drivers that either A. Came with my tool (which it will install when prompted) or B. If you install them manually. If you get on my irc channel I can help you. I will be on tonight for another hour.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Demonhawk1313:
Thanks for getting back so quickly. I have to do some work first, so I probably won't start for a few hours. I will give it a go and let you know if I have any problems. Thanks again

Problems installing superuser

Hi all, I am looking forward to getting my new to me View rooted and flashing some custom roms however I am having some difficulty installing superuser.

I was able to run revolutionary fine and I am now S-Off on my otherwise stock HC View.

When I try to run option 10 in multitool 10 with 10.1 patch I am told the MD5 hashes do not match for numerous files

I have downloaded several different times and keep getting the bad md5 hashes this happens with both online and offline versions of the tool. is there something I am missing or am I just having really bad luck with downloads?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Did you follow this instruction also?

once extracted please rename READMES to README and verifyMD5filesmain to verifyMD5files
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] saigashooter:
Doh! This is what happens when you start these things at 3 am.

Thanks for the help.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
lol did u get it working?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Demonhawk1313:
posting from my HC rom'd view. Tool worked awesome! Thank you guys for your hard work
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
yep as long as you follow the instructions carefully itll work 100% of the time 99% of the time ;-) lol
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] saigashooter:
Yes, it did install superuser fine after I had some coffee and followed all the instructions.

Now if only I could get roms to boot after flashing, they hang at the white HTC screen.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
WHich roms are you trying? If your trying Cypherrom or Desensed you have to be on HC (HBOOT 6.14.5556)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] saigashooter:
Actually those are the two I have been trying. My View is currently running rooted OTA HC, with hboot 6.13.1002. Is there an upgrade path for that hboot version?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
6.13.1002 is GB.... Use option 4 on my tool to update to HC 6.14.5556 then flash the ROM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] saigashooter:
Worked like a charm, thanks for the guidance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Life is so much easier at the click of a button ;-)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] a1exus:
is it possible to use this tool on non-windows computer? I have MAC, Linux and at work I have Windows, but when I tried your tool it gave me bunch of errors and it doesn't seem like it's working like expected (could be me doing something wrong) but I get errors pretty much from the very begging
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Did u do all the steps that where listed

1. download V10 (online or offline)

2. Download V10.1 (corresponding to online or offline)

3. Extract V10 into a folder

4. Extract V10.1 into the same folder and overwrite any files

5 Rename READMES to README

6. Rename verifyMD5filesmain to verifyMD5files

7. Start up the tool by clicking on the V10.1.bat

8. The tool starts

9. If it says something like (Skip files, overwrite files ect.) choose S (to skip)

10. Then everything should run fine :-)

Sorry for not making it easier at first... I released V10 and didnt realize what I did until over 100 people download almost 1.5GB and I didnt think people would be happy about having to download it again so I made a patch.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
JUST ADDED A NEW "TOOL"​

With this tool can I downgrade to GB?

Ok, So I'm on Honeycomb S-ON And I was wondering if I could downgrade to GB with this tool?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Yes this tool does everything

for you you will want to do these steps in order:

1. Run option 6 (which will bring you down to GB S-ON)

2. Run option 0 (If you want GB S-OFF)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vgomez916:
ran the new kernel light tool 3 times all successful but no lights on. what am i doing wrong. running CypherROM
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Really? Cypherrom V1.0? When you start the tool are you on the system (OS)?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vgomez916:
yeah Cypherrom V1.0 and yes im on os
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
please go here

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hotguzmanguy:
Thank you so much! I didn't want to do something wrong and end up bricking my tablet! Thanks! :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Im confused lol.. are you talking about the multitool or the tool to flash the kernel and lights?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hotguzmanguy:
Im using the multitool.

but I have a second question. I downloaded both of the files. the offline version and the patch. but they both have the Multitool in it. which one do I run? or do I have to merge the files or something?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
1. Download V10.

2. Extract it

3. Download V10.1

4. Extract it to the same folder and overwrite.

5. Change READMES to README and VerifyMD5filesmain to VerifyMD5files

6. Start V10.1

7. If it asks if you want to over write anything say S for skipping
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hotguzmanguy:
Ahh! Thank you! :D I finally got it! Thanks! ^_^
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
No prob, let me know how it goes
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hotguzmanguy:
Well I successfully downgraded to GB and have just got S-OFF on it and im about to install superuser but I am not sure if I want to upgrade to HC S-OFF. What do you recommend?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
If you do upgrage to HC, id recommend cypherrom, thats what ive been running for the last month. With the "mini tool" i made you can also get the buttons to work
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
Just gonna throw this out there, I have had:

over 20000 downloads

over 25000 times ran

about 1000 people needing help on (my irc channel)

I have assisted over 300 people on team viewer.

If you have used my tool please rate it at the top of the thread with easy to understand, sorta hard to understand ect. I really appreciate it... After putting 254 hours of work into working out all the bugs and making this thing easy fr everyone out there I love to see how many people it has really helped.

After 21 more days I don't know how much more help I can be besides leaving behind my legacy of this tool.

I am getting out of the military in 21 days and I don't know how much free time I will have to help people and to constantly keep updating this tool... I will still try the best I can.

I never thought this tool would get so large, it seems like just yesterday Globatron spent 2 days helping me and I started building this tool :'-( and now I've ran him out of town jk lol.

I thank all those for the donations and thanks I have recieved, they have made my life in the military that much more enjoyable and easier :).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hotguzmanguy:
Hmmm I like the idea of the buttons working! :D I did not think it was possible once upgrading to HC! But thank you! I will upgrade to HC S-OFF With your Multitool and where may I find the cypherrom? Are there instructions?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
use this video to install cypherrom with working keys

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlVLDVdkAyE

and instead of downloading the "lighthack" and kernel just download the rom and the (mini tool) in my first post.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Just used this to downgrade to GB so I could try out the DeSensed GB ROM. Worked great after I stopped being an idiot and downloaded the correct files.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kevinrocksman:
lol, downloaded the correct files?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] freak4dell:
Yeah, I don't even have a clue what I did wrong at first, but once I deleted everything and started from downloading the tool and patch again, it worked without a hitch.

I know for sure the first time around I downloaded the online tool and the offline patch because I wasn't paying attention, but I did something else wrong, too, because I didn't get a Programfiles folder at first, which resulted in me getting an error saying the MD5 for a bunch files didn't match. I'm often impatient and don't always pay attention to what I'm doing.
