All over the place
1. Yes, you *must* use the older O2 RUU.

2. No it didn't install without errors when you ran the RUU, that would never have worked, ever. You just didn't see the error because you used the RUU executable. Check the logs in c:\ruu_log and you'll see it never installed hboot.

3. The instructions in post 3 of this thread are quite clear on how to downgrade. If you used the other thread then you didn't read the first line of post #1 in that tread.

4. No you won't be S-OFF after a downgrade, rerun revolutionary.

Hi Globatron,

Thank you very much for your great work, for making it so easy to upgrade to honeycomb. Isn't it nice!

...Oh, Just one thing though, is my flyer meant to hover in the air in a ball of white light? It's following me round the room too... Does that mean it's S-Off?

Hey I am a bit new to flashing via fastboot and had a question on the syntax of using fastboot to flash the zip.

I tried typing in

fastboot flash <PG41IMG-WIFIB09.zip>

and I receive an error that says The syntax of the command is incorrect. In the fastboot commands list it says I need to do

fastboot flash <partition> [ <filename> ]

Was hoping to get the exact syntax to type in, thanks.

thanks for the info.

when I type that in I get a response of error: cannot load 'PG41IMG-WIFI-B09.zip'.

I have tried two different cards, and each of them I have been able to find the zip via CWM (revolutionary).

Any ideas?

If you do this method you can not flash an ota over it. Any future update would require a flash of an updated rom or a full s on revert to Gingerbread stock prior to attempting

If you are asking how you get the OTA with s-off and root, well if you followed this thread you already do.

I have my Flyer Wifi from iBood. It was netherland/luxemburg version, becouse only that regions and language were available out of stock. I have succesfully S-OFF and flash HC from this thread but still in first setup I have only Netherland/Luxemburg to chose as region/language...

What can I do to enable all languages in first run setup? I want polish language...

PS. Other thing is that I have wifi only version, I have downloaded HC for wifi only and I have mobile networks options?!

Hi Globatron, Merry Christmas,

I have noticed over past 2 weeks that my Flyer seems to have an issue charging. It takes about 10 hours to charge 10%. I am currently at 40%.

I first used your method to go from stock GB to v48 and don't remember having an issue then I upgraded to v55 using fastboot method and didn't have any errors.

Should I try to do the fastboot flashing again? is it safe at 40%? I have the EU 3g flyer if that makes any difference.

Edit: Just did some testing and it seems that the Flyer will charge OK when powered off but does not charge correctly when the screen is off and I am in stand by. I think I will try reflashing the ROM.

Thank you for all your help.

    Instructions Part 1

    This thread is not for discussing general Honeycomb problems so don't post here if it's not related to running this procedure.


    • Important: Charge your Flyer fully before running this procedure ( see section: problems below)
    • This version is the release version of HoneyComb from HTC.
    • If you are on Honeycomb and got there by following other honeycomb install methods than the one in this thread then you MUST follow the steps in part 1.
    • If you are already S-OFF on gingerbread, or ran *this* procedure previously skip to Part 2.
    • You must be running a version of gingerbread supported by revolutionary
      1. If you are not on an appropriate gingerbread version, eg. if you have upgraded to honeycomb then downgrade by using an appropriate RUU; to identify your RUU see: here
      2. If you get the following error: "Main Version is older! Update Fail! Press <POWER> to reboot" the instructions are here for windows or here for Mac/Linux
    • Run revolutionary, there is no reason to install ClockWorkMod recovery at this point, say no when asked.

    After following the steps above, you should be on a stock Gingerbread installation with revolutionary S-OFF.

    Instructions Part 2

    The large download is a stock HoneyComb 3.55.405.1 for 3G and 3.55.1114.31 for WIFI with the following changes:
    • Rooted
    • Busybox
    • Secure flag turned off on the boot image
    • Stock recovery replaced by CWM

    • Beginner procedure: If you are a novice using windows
      • Download the appropriate RUU file:
        Code: 
        3G        [URL="http://hyuh.net/files/flyer/RUU_3G_B09.zip"]RUU_3G_B09.zip[/URL]
WIFI      [URL="http://hyuh.net/files/flyer/RUU_FLYER_WIFI_B10.zip"]RUU_FLYER_WIFI_B10.zip[/URL]
US-WIFI   [url=http://hyuh.net/files/flyer/RUU_FLYER_WIFI_BBUS_B10.zip]RUU_FLYER_WIFI_BBUS_B10.zip[/url]
      • Extract the downloaded file. Open the extracted folder and run ARUWizard.exe
      • Click through the wizard and wait for it to complete
      • You're done, do not do any of the steps below.
    • Advanced procedures: If you want more control or are using MacOS or Linux
      1. download the file that you require as follows:
      2. If you want a stock rooted HoneyComb ROM
        Be warned this is a BIG download :
        Code: 
                   MD5                               Filename

      3. If you intend to immediately install a custom HC ROM:
        Code: 
                   MD5                               Filename

      4. Install the custom RUU
      5. If you are running this procedure starting from Gingerbread the rom flash WILL fail first time, you must flash twice, if starting from honeycomb it might only require a single pass.
      6. Method1: Using fastboot:
        • Get fastboot and adb tool for windows here, get Windows fastboot drivers here
        • Get Fastboot and adb for linux here
        Code: 
        fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem rebootRUU
fastboot flash zip <downloaded file name>
[I][COLOR=Blue]Flashing will fail with Error 90 first time due to hboot change[/COLOR][/I]
fastboot flash zip <downloaded file name>
[I][COLOR=Blue]The on screen indicator on the phone will not reach fully to the right end of the progress bar, this is ok[/COLOR][/I]
fastboot reboot
      7. Method 2: Using bootloader - NOTE I strongly recommend using method 1.
        1. Rename the downloaded file PG41IMG.zip
        2. Transfer the file to the root of your SD card
        3. Reboot to hboot, which will detect and install the update.
          Note it will require two passes to complete the upgrade due to hboot change

    • If you used the full upgrade file (BIG download) you are finished, enjoy.
    • If you used the light image now restore your nandroid backup or flash your custom ROM now - then you are finished.




    Problems
    If you encounter problems after this procedure where your device does not boot properly (white screen with HTC logo) . Power-off fully and seek assistance from me. The reason for this is that you may have an invalid combination of hboot and recovery/boot images. In such a scenario a flyer will not charge when powered off. The reason for powering off at this point is to ensure that there is sufficient battery power remaining to fix the problem before you end up in an unrecoverable state. If the battery falls below 30% you will not be able to flash and I will not be able to help you. Do this by booting into fastboot mode then choosing power-down from the menu.

    S-OFF Downgrade

    Instructions Part 1

    This thread is not for discussing general Honeycomb problems so don't post here if it's not related to running this procedure.

    To go completely back to stock and S-ON, follow the instructions here. The instructions in the link will work for either Gingerbread or HoneyComb, make sure you use an RUU for your CID.


    • Important: Charge your Flyer fully before running this procedure ( see section: problems below)
    • If you are on Honeycomb and got there by following other honeycomb install methods this procedure is not for you.
    • You must have a revolutionary hboot to use this procedure.
    • You must download the gingerbread RUU for your device unless you are going to immediately install a custom ROM or restore a nandroid backup.

    Note: There is no FULL version downgrade due to the number of localized versions that exist for the Flyer.
    You must download the gingerbread RUU for your device unless you are going to immediately install a custom ROM.

    After following the steps above, you should be on a gingerbread compatible base with revolutionary S-OFF and CWM, nothing more or less than that.

    • Procedure

      1. download the file that you require as follows:
        Be warned this is a this is not a complet rom, if you try to boot from it you will just get the wite htc logo screen:
        Code: 
                   MD5                               Filename

    Other Information
    This method of installation will set your main version to 1.36.100.0 on 3G flyers and 1.36.0001.01 for Wifi models. The reason for this is to make that number lower than any RUU that exists for your device. This simplifies future downgrades by making it unnecessary to ever run the misc_version downgrade procedure.

    FAQ
    Q: Do I need to flash recovery/root something else after this?
    A: No, the procedure will give you root, recovery and busybox.

    Q: What does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?
    A: Full read/write access to all useful partitions.

    Q: What else does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?
    A: The ability to flash custom roms without flashing boot images from booted android.

    Q: What else does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?
    A: The ability to have custom software without having to waive your warranty.

    Q: What else does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?
    A: The ability to install any regional ROMS without a goldcard.

    Q: What else does S-OFF give me that HTC unlock doesn't?
    A: Greedy much? What else do you want?

    Q: Can I return to S-ON for warranty purposes?
    A: Yes, a procedure will be in post 3 when I get to it, if you ask in the thread I will not answer this question.

    Q: Why do I have to S-OFF in GB before going to HC?
    A: Because that's where the exploit works, once we have access to hboot in any version we can patch hboots for later releases.

    Q: Can I downgrade to GB by restoring my backup?
    A: No

    Q: Can I downgrade to GB?
    A: Yes, follow the post below this one.

    Q: Will this work on the view?
    A: No

    sarpsuerdas try it, if you get stuck ask questions. If I'm not online most people here have already done things very similar to this and will try to help.

    mcord11758, all the ones so far but you never know about future ones, what it will mean for sure is no downgrade to GB if an incompatible hboot comes along, and I'll update then if needed.
