Yeah, sorry that zip is bad. Try this one: http://www.multiupload.com/IP91KJZGGW md5: c7359fc765b228dc89b4dae06201dd01

Still same error:

MD5 checks out fine.

BrumBrum74, can you try running the RUU as it is then (the exe file). I didn't get this problem.

 

[buidung]

Sorry but i can't write the new hboot, it always say permission denied

C:\Documents and Settings\bkc\My Documents\tools>adb shell
$ dd if=/mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/hboot_1.11.0006.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
dd if=/mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/hboot_1.11.0006.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
/dev/block/mmcblk0p18: cannot open for write: Permission denied
$

 

[BrumBrum74]

Says I have the wrong update file when running the RUU.

Fastboot says:

*** UNLOCKED ***
flyer pvt ship s-on rl
hboot-1.11.006'microp-0950
radio-3821.08.00.26_m
emmc-boot

Hey,

So you can actually use the pen just like you can use your finger?
Have you tried sketchbook yet?
Or basically any other painting app?

I would also really appreciate information or screenshots about how the notes app has changed.
Do you see handwriting recognition?
How is the palm rejection working?

Thanks a lot for testing this out!

When i type "fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin" then I see that menu on the screen to unlock it. I can choose Yes or No.
If i switch to Yes and press the power button nothing happens. But if I choose No and press the power button, it reboots.
No Idea why..

Anyone an idea?

 

[globatron]

nickiberli, it should work there if you choose yes. That's all I did.

This will void your warranty. There is no way back if you choose to do this. It may also brick your device, if you don't understand exactly what all the steps below are doing then DO NOT DO THIS.

Procedure:

1. Donload this hboot MD5: 2eb541192be861ecceb2baa254403ade and this rom.zip md5: c7359fc765b228dc89b4dae06201dd01
2. Put the hboot file on the root of the sdcard.
3. Connect to the flyer using 'adb shell' and become root
4. Backup the revolutionary hboot:

   dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/revolutionary_hboot.img

   (for now not very useful, but might be later)
5. Write the new hboot to the phone:

   dd if=/mnt/sdcard/ext_sd/hboot_1.11.0006.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

6. Reboot
7. You will most likely get a security violation and not be able to get past the bootloader screen. This is ok.
8. Connect the flyer using fastboot mode.
9. Go to http://www.htcdev.com/ and select "Unlock Bootloader". Ignore the supported device list.
10. Register and follow the unlock procedure.
11. Once you have unlocked the bootloader put the phone in fastboot mode again.
12. Run the following commands

    fastboot erase cache
    fastboot oem rebootRUU
    fastboot flash zip rom.zip

    rom.zip is the file you downloaded in step 1.

It may be possible to simply run the RUU.exe instead of step 12, however it is much easier to see if anything goes wrong if you use fastboot.

The HBOOT is extracted from the beta RUU. The rom.zip is the rom.zip from the RUU with the hboot removed. If you want to extract them yourself you can do that too.

Just a question: after this procedure we will be able to flash custom roms or not?
I have no experience with the HTC Unlock so I don't know that.

P.S. How the hell did you mind to take advantage of the HTC unlock? You're crazy man!

Give me the output of: fastboot getvar all.

It looks like you're done though.

 

[rahulsh]

After unlocking bootloader - can i runn ruu simply ? Or unlock and then run rru and then flash new Hboot ? will this do ?

Also help me how to run DD command??

In theory yes. In practice right now no because there is no custom recovery image.

On the second point, because I don't care about warranty.

Would you mind opening a seperate thread for this method?

Yes

No not yet

I would also really appreciate information or screenshots about how the notes app has changed.

I'll get some later. I'm a bit busy right now.

Do you see handwriting recognition?
How is the palm rejection working?

No, but I didn't look, will check later.
Fine, I never ever had any issues with it before.

Looks done to be honest BrumBrum74. Try booting.



I am no longer answering any questions related to installing the beta in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248635

 

[Spinstorm]

Could we have some more screenshots please?

It looks awesome but I am not even going to try and put it on my Flyer as I lack the skill!

 

[Elim]

Nothing to do with any of what you said.

So, I thought but you did so difficult that I become ironic (just a little bit ;-)

The reason for not posting the how is simple, it is not a nice solution and requires permanently voiding warranty.

That was also clear for me because there is until now no way back... and I also expect that some will brick their Flyer.

If you don't like the answer then tough, I couldn't care less what you think.

To be honest, I didn't expect that your Flyer still runs HC. I will be not the first time here in XDA that someone assert everything. Still remember that also before any S-OFF some assert to have rooted their Flyer. Also no upload, no explanation and so forth.

And I am exuberantly happy that this time it is different. My excuses...
