There are allot of threads here in development that would of helped you avoid this. OK here is my under standing.

You rooted gb then did HTC dev unlock. You then proceeded to attempt to flash a honeycomb rom on a gingerbread bootloader, which of course, would not boot. You then panicked and possibly may of fastboot flashed some ruu or it may of failed, I am not certain here. Ultimately you are rooted with custom recovery and HTC dev unlocked bootloader.

The ruu flashes likely failed because you needed to OEM. Lock bootloader prior to reboot OEM ruu, then fast boot flash zip. OK so your device now is dead. Is the led light under the power switch red? You need to get more juice into your flyer. If I were you, I would hope that you can gain charge, find the correct ruu for your device, relock the bootloader then run the ruu. All goes well you are back to stock gb. Then follow s off instructions in development.

If it won't charge hopefully globatron reads this thread and is kind enough to lend his knowledge
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Take out your SD card and see if it will stay at the bootloader.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
I have an HTC wall charger (5v 1A) and an HP Touchpad wall charger (5v 2A) and regardless of which one I use it keeps looping off then to bootloader screen then off then bootloader screen etc....

If I unplug it it does nothing, the battery is dead I'm assuming

When unplugged there is absolutely no activity which leaves me to believe battery is completely drained. When plugged in the LED blinks orange when it boot loops into bootloader then goes out when the screen is off.

It only stays in bootloader for maybe 5 seconds before looping off again.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
I'm starting to think I should tear it down and charge the battery with a USB cable ... is that a good course of action?

I have taken many phones and laptops apart so I'm confident I can take the flyer apart and put it back together, although I do no know how long to charge the bare battery for and from what, the wall charger or USB from my Mac.

Tried that and same result. Boot loop.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Definitely not. you'll destroy the battery.

You have a 3.6/37v litium battery charger or a phone with a 3.6/3.7v lithium battery, you can bootstrap from that to charge. It's extremely ugly but it will work.

Ideally you'd have a DF57-6P-1.2V connector, but if you get a universal phone charger kit, pulling the flat pins out of a sonyericsson / old nokia connector will give you some flat pieces that can be wedged into battery battery connector. Wiring the two red connector pins to the + and two black to the - of the phone battery pack and putting the phone on charge would allow you to get some juice into it.

I have some pictures here somewhere if you need any clarifications.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
Ok it is now disassembled

here are some pics

So you are saying DO NOT take a USB cable and connect red to red and black to black and plug that into a wall charger?

For phones I currently have a,

-Torch 3.7v, 1270mAh, 4.7Wh (sticker on battery)

-Galaxy S 3.7v, 5.55Wh (sticker on battery)

-Sensation 3.7V, 1900mAh (sticker on battery)

The battery from the Flyer is rated @3.7V, 4000mAH according to the sticker.

....how do you mean bootstrap from that? Connect with wires the Flyer battery to another phones battery and have them charge together?

Can you give me a descriptive ho to or perhaps a pic?

Thanks for all your responses so far to guys !!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Sure, give me a while to find the pictures.

Yes, bootstrapping I mean creating a parallel charge circuit with the device's own battery.

In the meantime can you upload pictures of the galaxy s with the battery removed, (focusing mostly on the battery connection in the case) that'll allow me to advice you which one to use. The battery capacity of the phone is not really important. The connectors on the sensation are a bit small for this.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
You'll need charger adapters like the sony-ericcsson ones here: http://www.sinomart.com/uploads/fck/201011/1001401709956.jpg, and you need a total of 4 of the flat connectors.

images 16 and 17 show what they look like when removed, and then with the spring-loaded part removed.

21 is just a picture shown the wire i used to connect the whole lot together, stripped and also showing the trimmed SE connectors.

23 is the connectors joined with the wire from 21, in this picture they are just twisted together.

26 is the same again, with some heat shrink placed over the wires to stop the exposed wires from shorting, tape would also work ( Actually they are soldered together in my case, but well twisted together would do just fine. )

26, shows the "plate" connectors inserted into the batter connector.

27, is the phone I'm using, and the location of the + and - terminals

28, is not very clear, but the other ends of the red an black wires and wedged between the battery + and -terminals and there respective contact on the phone. red to + and black to -
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
Ok found a couple of old dumb phones that are also 3.7v

Anyway here are the pics of their battery compartments

Also just an FYI the battery from the Flyer has 6 wires, if you look at the pic I posted a few post up. While these phones have 3 or 4 connectors.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Use whichever one give you the best chance of trapping a wire between the battery terminal and the contact inside the phone, blue an pink ones look best from here.

You bind them in pairs:

Two blacks on the flyer -> - on the phone

Two reds on the flyer -> + on the phone
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
Thanks for your help it is VERY appreciated, just a couple more questions,

How do I know which pins on the phone are positive and negative?

How long should I let it charge for?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Match to the battery, it will be either embossed in the plastic or on the label (like in my picture27)

2 or 3 hours should be enough to give you enough power, don't leave it charging in this way and go to bed.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] BigChef:
is this common to my case? :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
Thanks for all your help globatron, you saved my butt

My status thus far is I got the battery charged enough (via your ghetto method) to boot into CWM recovery and flash WestfireROM Flyer v1.4 (Gingerbread)

I guess my course of action now is, find the correct ruu for my device, relock the bootloader then run the ruu. All goes well I am back to stock gb. Then follow s off instructions in development.

But because I bought this Flyer in a private sale I am not sure where it was purchased and thus do not know what my correct ruu would be.

When I "./fastboot getvar cid" I get this:

HTC_621

When I "./fastboot getvar all" I get :

INFOversion: 0.5
INFOversion-bootloader: 1.11.0003
INFOversion-baseband: 3809.07.04.06_M
INFOversion-cpld: None
INFOversion-microp: 0950
ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002e8
getvar:all FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory))

Any suggestions?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Not sure I've seen a 621 RUU, it would be one of the Asian ones.

Try running revolutionary to get S-OFF on what you have currently (the hboot is compatible) . If that works then you can install any ROM.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
I tried revolutionary with before all this with 1.10.0000 and it failed, I just tried again with what I have now (1.11.0003) and it failed again to gain root. No go.

:/
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
What is your version-main ( from fastboot )
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
./fastboot getvar version

version: 0.5

./fastboot getvar version-main

ERROR: usb_read failed with status e00002e8
getvar:version-main FAILED (status read failed (No such file or directory))
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
Also everytime I try and run ruu in Windows it fails with errors

I am pretty sure this is my ruu:

RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_HK_CHT_Wifi_2.27.1302.31_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_205140_signed.exe

But I cannot run it, have tried several times...anyway I can run it on Mac?? I am more fluent in Mac's OS. Or if anyone has the IMG.zip I can run from hboot?

or extract the rom.zip from that ruu for me so I can try to make a goldcard?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
That's version, not version-main.

I'll extract a rom.zip for you but only if I'm sure it's the right one, I don't want to waste time downloading and then re-uploading half a gig of data if it's not right.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
Thats all it gives me, when I ask for "./fastboot getvar version-main" I receive that error

I think the rom.zip extracted from that ruu is my best option now
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
I've tried to run ruu's and they fail, PG41IMG.zips in hoot and they fail, revolutionary fails etc...I'm really hitting a wall here, have never had this difficult of a time before with an Android device.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
I'm on my way to bed...give me a shout tomorrow if you haven't managed to get an RUU that works. I'm pretty sure I can figure out something that will sort you out.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
Thanks will do!

Good night :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
according to "fastboot getvar cid" i am HTC_621

after some digging it looks as though this would be my correct ruu;

I downloaded this ruu

RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_HK_CHT_Wifi_2.27.1302.31_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_205140_signed.exe

-i have tried to execute it via windows, ,from fastboot, with htc sync on, with it off, with flyer on charge only, and in sync mode....all failed with message to get proper ruu version

-i extracted the ROM.zip from the ruu and have tried installing it via hboot, fastboot, with bootloader both locked and unlocked (via HTCdev)....alll fail with mostly incorrect CID

-ive extracted the radio from that ruu and tried flashing via fastboot, fails signature verification.

-retried revolutionary several different times from windows pc and within virtualbox on my macbook and fail every time.

-have made goldcard, and tried flashing via hboot and fail with incorrect cid, remade goldcard and same error, tried different micoSD and same error.

I am just stuck and out of ideas
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Good news, I found it. Uploading now.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
Downloading now...fingers are crossed! :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
I see that its a zip, can I just rename it "PG41IMG.zip" and flash in hboot?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] AidenM:
Though I'm not globatron, but yes, the rom.zip out of an RUU is the same as a PG41IMG.zip
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
lol, doesn't make your answer any less correct :D
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
CLOSE!

I got

Main Version is Older!

Update Fail!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bobbytomorow:
I found this tool. Is this something I can use and if so how exactly do I use it and what version should I apply?

Also I contacted the seller of my Flyer and it was purchased in Taiwan.

Hi,

I am in the same situation, and my flyer does not boot up even after i have plugged it into the charger for good 2 days now. I have a question here, when we boot strap the wires from the phone to the flyer battery do we need to put the phone on charge? or is it enough to boot strap it and just turn on the phone?

---------- Post added at 03:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:52 PM ----------

Looks like you did not even connect the black (-ve) wires.. does it charge?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Yes, you are using the phones charger to provide enough powere to slowly charge the flyer's battery.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hocer:
Looks like you did not even connect the black (-ve) wires.. does it charge?[/QUOTE]

ofcourse, i am take a photo, before connect the black wires with duo point
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] prgopala:
Thanks globatron... Just one last question.. how much time do you think should i charge the battery... i have a 3.7V/350 mA charger.. I also have a 5V/1A charger
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] prgopala:
ofcourse, i am take a photo, before connect the black wires with duo point[/QUOTE]

Sorry, i did not understand... did you connect the black wires? Will it charge if we do not connect the black wires?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] prgopala:
Thanks Globatron... Finally i got the battery charged so much so that i could get into fastboot. But instead of running an RUU i just used this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19607833&postcount=3) and flashed the CWM for GB (from revolutionary)... After that i popped in the sdcard and restored GB from a backup that i had created before... And now the Tab is up and running...

Thanks guys..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] 1454:
Correction, it just all of a sudden worked. Anyway, thanks for the assistance.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jobvandonselaar:
My Flyer just crasht when i was using it, not responding to anything. Since we got no reset / battery pull option i choose to let the battery die, charge and be good again...

NOT!... But i managed to charge te battery with the method described, it got 4.1V now so it must start again right? To bad, no respons at all, no charging light when i put in the original charger and it will not boot...

Is there soemthing else i can try?

PS, i was runnign Cool3D Honey v6

PS2 The only signal i get is one orange.red light blink from the power button after i keep the power button pressed for 10sec

htc flyer bricked

Hi hope you can help.

I have been running my flyer rooted on stock honeycomb with no trouble. I wanted to install Dexters JB18 rom, something went wrong after the install and now i can only access hboot screens, flyer wont boot, and recovery (was cwm with no issues) just brings up htc screen with nothing else.

I have tried flashing several recovery/boot images via fastboot, without any noticable effect. I get the messages saying image is written okay from command prompt but rebooting device or attempting to enter recovery just brings me white htc screen.

I have run getvar cid and got the result htc001, but attempting to reboot using adb gives the result device not found.

this is the info on the hboot screen

****unlocked****

flyer pvt ship s-on

hboot-1.11.0011

microp-0950

radio-3822.10.08.07_m

emmc-boot

A few threads here look promising, but i cant access them to be sure or find the right links, such as finding RUU type etc altho I dont think Im that far along until i can flash and get in to a workable recovery?

re help with bricked flyer

Hi Mcord,

I dont have one (kicking myself), just downloaded the pg41img-wifi-light.zip, but I cant get in to cwm recovery to flash this as a zip
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
light is if you have a rom to flash and or a backup. you will need the full without.

and this is a fastboot flash. Read the instructions in the thread that I linked

this, if you are s off, will give you correct hboot and recovery to operate recovery. If you flash the full it will also give you the system

Edit:

you are posting all over the place and it is hard to follow your sittuation, but it appears you maybe s on from something I missed. where did you get the recovery that you are trying to flash and are you sure it is for honeycomb?

it is hard to advise on a fix because I am not sure where you started and what you did.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tashditdit:
ok, i started off stock honeycomb, unlocked thru htc dev so s-on, recovery was cwm flyer (adding file).

downloaded dexters rom,

put flyer in recovery

wiped dalvik, cache etc

installed rom from zip - installer ran, went thru options, and completed.

attempted to reboot flyer, got caught in bootloop.

restarted, bootloop again, so i started in bootloader

when hitting recovery, htc splash screen and hangs.

when attempting normal boot, htc splash screen and hangs.

I realise i needed to flash boot.img via adb, but cant detect device when running 'adb devices'

Am about to attempt installing adb on a fresh pc in case of a driver conflict.

does this give you any more useful info?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
you can not use ADB in HBOOT or Fastboot. What you need to to is go into hboot then sellect bootloader.

You should now be in fatboot

then in cmd prompt enter

fastboot devices

it should see your flyer

then you can flash the boot.img
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tashditdit:
i have tried that, thinking i either have an issue with adb or im using the wrong boot.img. do u or anyone know how to restore to stock? hopefujlly from an extsd card as no joy using adb thus far, as cant get in to recovery or boot the device.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
I believe, and you will have to search some stuff out as I do not have all the exact details here, you can find your RUU for HC. Open it but not run it. Then look in your temp files and there should be a zip somewhere of the system zip. You take this zip and have to rename it to some file name I think if you look at the first thread I listed it has it. You then take the zip and put it on the external sd, place the sd into your flyer, then boot into hboot. The first thing Hboot does is check for this file, if it finds it, it should flash. I have not done this before myself but it is the only suggestion I have. You being unlocked may or may not cause an issue with this. I hope not because you need to be able to use fastboot to relock your hboot
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tashditdit:
i have the ruu but i cant run it as it doest like the flyer in its current state, i also have a process monitor that can be run alongside the ruu as it runs, if you add a filter called rom.zip as the ruu is running, it should highlight all the zip files from this rom. when they appear you hit jump to, then the .zip files can be extracted and copied to an external sd card. if someone could run this for me and post the .zip files that might be my solution.

the ruu for my rom is the

RUU_Flyer_HC_S_HTC_WWE_3.55.405.1_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M_release_226690_signed

and the process monitor app is attached.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
1) First you need the RUU.exe that you intend to install.

2) Start the RUU. Don’t let it start flashing your device.

Search your C:\ drive (or where you have Windows installed) for “rom.zip”.

Once you found this file, copy it somewhere safe.

3) Rename the rom.zip to PG41IMG.zip

and put it on to the root directory of your MicroSD card in your phone.

4) Shut down the phone.

5) Press the Power button + Volume down button at the same time and hold them untill you get to HBOOT

(white screen with skateboarding android, the button combination is different on different phones).

6) Wait for the HBOOT to parse the zip file.

7) Follow the on-screen instructions.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] tashditdit:
yeah the trouble im having is runing the ruu and extracting the zip files, cannot find them in any temp folder no matter how many times i try and run the ruu, im aware of the process involved just doesnt seem to work on my machine, if someone can do this for me and upload the relevant files would be much appreciated

Thanks,

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] TomTcom:
While this isn't silicone, it may be what you are looking for. I am to interested in being able to hold both.

[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ziffos:
I do not know of any silicone cases that can remain totally in position when the tablet is attached to the docking station HOWEVER you can just release the silicone case from the bottom of the tablet and it then fits easily into the dock BUT remember that whilst on the dock the case is bent up at the back of the tablet a little.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] goodintentions:
You mean like this? Look at pictures.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] goodintentions:
There's another piece for the dock. I didn't have it on, though. In fact, I just took the silicone off and put on carbon fiber skin. The silicone added probably 50 pounds to the overall weight.

It's the following skin.

http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...Soft-Gel-Case/6434147/product.html?cid=123620

Just measure very carefully and very very carefully cut out the bottom. Just use your imagination. Look at my pictures again. See how everything fits?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] goodintentions:
You have a pretty crappy imagination :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Spoontain:
I think he used 2 modified skins from his link and modified both to fit the hinge and dock.

Also it looks like a decimal was misplaced lol. .50 lbs I could see.
