Does anyone know if there is a default Wifi ROM for the Flyer I bought from Best Buy? I want to go back to the default setup as many things don't work.
Thanks,

I've not seen it floating around anywhere yet.
A bunch of us have been looking for this. I'd be a little more adventurous with the HC Beta ROMs if I had a failsafe in place (stock RUU).

Hm... what about their Facebook? Seems to be quite active. I think Honeycomb would give this tablet new life IMO.
I took a nose dive and installed honeycomb anyway. And I can say I am quite impressed only problem I have is fring and my fron facing came. It's just upside down in portrait mode. Other than that I have personally no problems and I use it all day. Hopefully a ruu will surface soon. But I won't need it until the real hc comes out for our flyers

Was the process pretty easy? Are you running the wi-fi flyer?
Its pretty easy to get to HC but you can't go back and while most things in HC beta work well, here's what I found.
Love the ROM. Only issues I have found are with the camera not working or very flaky with several apps including Skype, Paper Camera, Camera 360, SnapBooth, Notes, etc.
Additional bugs I found.
Mail widget stops working often
Bluetooth headset does not work properly. The devices pair fine and Audio out is ok , but the microphone on the head set is not used. Audio in is input from the Flyer's built in mic. I tired both a Jabra 3030 and a Motorola S9-HD
Tried with apps, Voice Search, Skype, and GrooveIP.
I have a wifi only US model Flyer
I've emailed them via their website, and get the standard "Thanks for you're email. We're working hard to provide the software updates you're asking about. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook for the latest news."
I wasn't asking about a software update, just when the WiFi BB RUU would be release...so it must be a standard answer.

Yes I have the WiFi flyer. And yes the process is very easy. It's not noob friendly. I have a noon account but I'm not a noon been flashing and customizing phones and all since the g1 so always had adb. Just never contributed the knowledge I have. I had a lot of mistakes but figured out how to fix just by reading. Read up on everything first before you flash anything. The things it may do or may not do may or may not interest. Everyone one has the personal interests and pet peeves. I like it. But u might not. Read up on threads and posts and check it out.

I can't stress this enough. I took the risks. My idea may not b the best idea. If anything happens. I don't know you and I was drunk when I typed this........lol

Pretty sure once we (wifi flyer people) go Honeycomb, you can't go back. LeeDroid is gingerbread, so no-go for us.
If you have a USA flyer, you are stuck with HC once you go. Other countries, some can get back to GB with a RUU flash. LeeDroid is GB.
The first thing I did when I got this thing was make a stock ROM from a backup. I have a deodexed, rooted, battery percentage version as well. If anyone wants it let me know. It's the shipped 1.36.1540.32 ROM.
Unfortunately that does not help if you install HC, you cannot use a backup of a GB ROM with the HC recovery.

Which ROM should meet these requirements:
1. Will get a GPS fix quickly every time.
2. Good battery life.
3. Fast 4G LTE.
4. Market works fully.
5. Relatively bug free.
6. Still supported by developer.
7. Has decent install instructions - I have not installed a ROM on the Thunderbolt yet, and compared to my OGD, it seems more complex (e.g., flash a radio separately).
8. As little Sense as possible. (None would be ideal.)
9. USB tethering is rock solid reliable.
10. Gingerbread 2.3.4 (so Google Talk video works)
I initially wanted an AOSP ROM, but it seems like Sense-based ROM are working better. Is this true?
I just rooted and I want to install a custom ROM right now. Waiting impatiently for responses. hehe

It says, "An work in progress to bring working 4G to Gingerbread AOSP. Only available for Froyo MR1 radio."
That doesn't sound good to me... however, I admit that I don't know the details about the radios. I just assumed MR2 or MR2.5 would be an improvement. I'm not very happy with the stock Froyo radio (or GPS or battery life or anything else really).
Th3ory roms have been my favorite since his introduction, everything you're looking for. Try out the tester coming tonight, or wait a day for the release. Rediculous amount of dev support.

Thank you. I've been reading a lot of different threads and I was getting the impression that Th3ory roms are really good and the support is great.
What about INJ3CT3DTH3ORY V6.01 (SenseLESS)?
Regarding "the tester coming tonight" are you talking about this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186218
I was concerned about the market problems discussed in that thread. I know there are two different resolutions for market problems, but I got the feeling that this tester ROM is too bleeding edge for my first Thunderbolt ROM.
In reference to my list of important features in the OP, what advantages does the tester ROM have over INJ3CT3DTH3ORY V6.01?
I'll go ahead and put in my 2 cents and suggest CM7.

haha yes! sorry for the typo. i'd suggest going ahead and flashing those other 2 ROMs when you get the chance to whether you like injectedtheory or not. one might suit your preferences more than another.
I was just making fun of threads like this in another post.
I've read these threads, tried most of them people swear by, didn't like most of them... And I'm back to my daily driver as usual. Every ROM has it's quirks. It's just a matter of what you're going to tolerate. Frankly, I don't know how people stand AOSP. My girlfriend loves it and I hate even touching that phone now. I've got this sexy 3D ROM that flows like water and it's literally 4.5 times the size. I'm just saying that if I posted this exact same thread, I'd find every single answer pretty much useless. Whatever you do, don't do a nightly.

The answers were not useless at all. The conversation helped me. But you notice that I didn't just ask a generic question. In the OP listed specific features that were important to me.
BTW, I only like ASOP ROMS as a rule, but I learned from this forum that Sense-based ROMs give less trouble on the Thunderbolt. If that wasn't true I would have stuck totally to ASOP.
Inject is great, and I do believe satisfies all of your bullets, except for dev support.

Thanks for that feedback. It was one of the first ROMs I looked at and I initially rejected it because Th3ory had moved on the the tester ROM and I do value active dev support.
But the potential market issues with tester10 concerned me more. So I came back to Inject. It's nice to hear your confirmation that it will probably satisfy most of my bullet points.

Hey All, I know it's probably early for this... but is it possible to roll the OTA Honeycomb back to 2.3.4?
i recently bought the View for the wife and she's spent a couple weeks getting to know it and had it set pretty much how she wanted it (her first Android, and not rooted). I told to go ahead and do the update and now she's flipping over how it's completely different.
Thanks
there is a sticky at the top of the page with the answer...no it's not possible and not likely to be for some time.
great... I've read the thread over a couple times and have also been refreshing this forum for the last hour. I saw a lot of talk about rooted Views, wasn't sure how that pertained to a stock one.
Thanks for your efforts!

I for one, would love to see the device with the official Honeycomb upgrade. If any early adapter would please do a 5 minute video, showing us the layout and operations. I'm really curious how the HTC Sense interface works in the HC system.
Secondly, if there are any apps that cease to function, I'd like to know ahead of time.

I don't have my view yet but I do have Sense 3.0 on my phone. By looking at that video, I think HC is a nice improvement even if the physical buttons are not functional.
okay, spent the morning on the phone with the store I bought it from, the local 'repair' store, Sprint support, Sprint Resolution, HTC support, HTC return/repair, and back to the store I bought it from.
No one will roll it back, either for lack of ability or desire... and I'm 2 days past the 14 day return period on the new device. LUCKILY... the local store manager gave in and is approving the exchange! I'm off to the store now... wish me luck.

Meaning you're skipping honeycomb completely?
I plan to... actually, for the life and usefulness of the View's hardware, I'm fine in locking it at gb.
I ran into a snag at the store... the one unit they had in stock was a 'ship to store' that landed today, but the person that ordered it bought elsewhere. The manager couldn't get it released from the other account. I have to go get it tomorrow.

I'm right there with you on that. I do not like HC at all, I like having buttons.

I don't have the HC update yet, but I kind of scratch my head at all of the people complaining about the buttons taking up the screen. Right now along the top of GB you have a bar running. Now the bar is at the bottom and has buttons on it. I guess to me it seems pretty much the same, minus maybe a few pixel lines. I suppose it's a different story full screen, I guess it's just not that big a deal to me.
It is only a big deal because we have the hardware buttons.

Wouldn't think twice about it. You'll love having it unlocked and rooted. There are plenty of amazing ROMs right now to choose from. My phone's faster, smoother, and all around better. Just do it. You won't regret it.

What ROM would you recommend? I'm probably going to get an ics one without sense, but is de-sensedish or senseless better?

My understanding is that the ICS roms out there are mostly based off of a shaky HTC leak or two.. If you try one, I'd suggest Scott's (CleanROM/Senseless) as he's a constant presence in his release threads. I've been using his GB CleanROM builds and they've been flawless. Whichever way you go, be sure to follow every instruction to a tee...you won't brick, but one missed sentence can cause a mess of frustration
Asking whether our not to root, and then jumping head-first into ICS seems like a bad idea. The mainver issues inherent with all the different leaks can cause some real headaches for inexperienced rooters.
I would suggest sticking with GB for now until you learn a bit more about the process on this device. S-on while unlocked means you have to know exactly what you're flashing if you aren't gonna have adb access all day.

I agree on not going straight to ICS at this time.
I have tried all the ICS ROMs just to see what they are all about, but they all have bugs and certain apps are not compatible ICS yet.
I always end up going back to the setup in my sig which I absolutely love. That is partly because neither of my two favorite themes work in ICS, but even if they did I would still wait for it to mature a little more before swapping back to it.
No problems here with ICS
Although you might want to try some gingerbread roms at first, Many of the non ASOP ICS roms are very stable. As for the mainver issue, just flash the kernel via flastboot and you should be fine. if you need help with anything just let me know. For your first rom i would recommend cleanrom or rezrom.
Even if you don't want to install different ROMS (but why wouldn't you) gaining root gives you so much more freedom on your device, from changing boot animations, to doing backups.
I recommend you unlock and root. I have run both SenselessROM ICS and CleanROM ICS and they both work great and perform better than GB, at least according to AnTuTu Benchmark. I currently use Scott's CleanROM 2.2 ICS. It is fast and very stable. Only bug I have with it is no streaming media thru bluetooth.
Yes but the streaming through Bluetooth is an issue for all ICS roms.

why wouldnt it be a "feature"? why would anyone want to use the bluetooth with the usb cable poking out the back? not to mention the ear piece would likely just fall out of your ear if it was plugged in hehe..
to the OP, if your phone is working 100% to your liking, and you in no way feel its imperfect, then no, dont root.
if its say... 99% to your liking.. root it and get your 1% back!
cheers
Hmm if this is your first time rooting
I had two thunderbolt (mine and my gfs), one samsung charge , and the xoom tablet and couple of old iphones. So i went through many roots, jailbreaking etc..
I gotta say, hands down, the rezound is the trickiest,however, far form impossible due to the amazing devs support.
You really need to start with a simple phone that has s-off (like my loyal tbolt). after you get the complete gist of rooting, you have to back to school to understand the difference between unlocked bootloader and s-off.
Just to get the ota update, i spent close to one week just reading endless forums and user reports. When i did it, it worked flawlessly, but i still have a residual migraine from the amount of info i had to really understand.
of course now that i accomplished it, it seems like cake, which make me get to the next point; just because someone says its easy, it doesent mean it is.
Point is, if your a noob(i, in no way, want to insult you, just watching out for you), find a nice person on this forum that accomplished this and Pm them every step of the way. This community has matured and developed to fight against one enemy, the big red, and all their ways trying to hinder us from getting 100 % of our money.
Bottom line: If this is your first root, or if this is your first s-on unlocked bootloader root, spend at least 2 weeks to understand EVERYTHING you need to do, but without a doubt, you will only unlock this beast's potential when you root and unlock it, only then will you see why developers are jumping ship as well as old g-nex users to this phone
I can vouch for reading again and again what you are planning to do. I wanted to update my firmware for the radios and I read for almost a week on how to accomplish this. The sheer volume of topics on that one subject is amazing.
Bottom line, search, read, search some more, and when you think you done, search at least two more times.

BFD what antutu says, that means absolutely nothing.
I have seen absolutely zero real world performance difference between my current setup & ICS. That, some app/theme incompatibility & the BT streaming issue (I use BT in my car every day) are plenty to keep me on GB for now.

Ok and finally, just a random Q, LeeDroid's rom enabled GSM calls for the flyer, agen, noob at tablets so the only way i found to make a call is to save the contact first and then dial it, How do i load prepaid data and airtime onto the tablet without switching sims with my phone?

GB seems to be a bit better on resources and is smoother than HC (at least on mine). HC has a different interface which some find to be better for a tablet (I do) and has more support for pen functions (most the really good pen apps won't run on GB). There are numerous users who have trouble with GPS when using an HC rom.
That is about all I can say without stating opinions supporting either side.
Well, my phone GPS seems to be better than the flyer's so im ok with that, thanks for the response, appreciate it. Looks like il stay on honeycomb, just installed CoolHoney 3d, its smoother than normal, not as smooth as ICS tho. Thanks again.

I'm using the CoolHoney 3D, as well. It is a keeper.
Flyer hc vs gb
First off i had both GB and HC on my flyer and i can tell you there is a big difference between them. Since your flyer came with HC you wouldn't know that GB allowed you to have more screens than the 5 that you now control. In other instances While on GB my battery literally lasted a whole week on one charge. For some reason HC caused me to continue to charge my flyer [i was doing the same hing that i was while on GB]. GB runs smooth for a phone update, but doesn't seem like it's for tablets. HC {in my case} allowed me to download a lot more apps then i could with GB.I don't know how it is for you but HC causes a significant drop in Wifi capability on my Flyer and was laggy most of the time. A good thing about HC is that it allows you to use the scribe to it's fullest by using it as a stylus in apps {for example some games allow you to use the scribe like you would a mouse},can use it to turn your flyer to a notebook {with the right apps of course {quill, lecture notes, notes}.
i hope this helps.
I've usen GB and HC, too, but switched back to GB (caused a whole day of work ). I have to say, that I am using just Original-ROMs, because I use it for taking notes at the University.
Pros GB:
-The smallest Pen in the PDF-App is much thinner than in HC
-Working Buttons (Home, Menu, Back)
-Green design (sounds stupid, but I like green much more than the blue design of Anroid 3+)
Pros HC:
-Bigger Homescreens
-System-wide Pen support
Really want to try GB, but few things first
Does the pen ONLY work in HTC Notes app?
ima kinda confused at this, i know honeycomb lets you use it in games and stuff, but what about apps like papyrus? It asks if you have a HTC flyer pen, you can enable and disable it.
According to your post, i take it that quill and lecture notes doesn't work in GB with the pen, although i do find myself using the stock notes app more, mainly because of the combination of typing and writing, which i want. Also what about Polaris office? It allows you to use your pen... well in HC, what about GB?

No, it works in Notes, PDF-Viewer, eBook-Viewer, the Album. And if you tap on the screen in another App, it makes a screenshot, on which you can draw something.
(Last option is disengageable.)

Do you mean "Papyrus Ex"? I've tried it right now: Nothing. It asks for a path, but not for a pen. I haven't found an App, which allows Scribe-Support on GB, I belive its a HC-Only Feature.
I love the Stock Notes App. Do you have an Evernote-Account? If not, give it a try. The only thing that I am missing is a checkered background. That whould be great!
Polaris Office is preinstalled, but the pen just takes a picture.
Hi Everyone.
Have been searching around the net for 2 days without much luck
HTC Flyer I purchased:
Flyer P510e
Android: 3.2.1
HTC Sense: 1.1 for tablet
Software number: Cool3d Honey V6
Baseband: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.14-LeeDrOiD-HC-V3.3.0-g6d7c2c0
Im guessing by the kernel version it has been ROM'd with LeeDrOiD correct ?
I would love to take this back to the stock ROM it would have come with but have no idea out of the list of thousands which one is the right one for my device. Or should i be going for another ROM all together that is more recent ?
Never done this before so please forgive me for being cautious. I just dont want to brick it on my first attempt.
I would like to be able to use it like my HTC Desire HD and do the customary updates and so forth. My Desire HD has never failed me and I have had it for 2 years.
Im from Australia, and going through the list of stock ROMs available, i see many countries listed, asia, india, US, blah blah.
So which ROM is best for my Flyer ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
hello, i buy my flyer not long time so far. i used it as my phone with bluetooth headset. i stay on maxdroid128 rom based 2.3.4. on 2.3.4 is the phone function more stable. the nice pen works much better on android 3.+, it has full support for screen. on 2.3 you can only use a few things, notes and scribble. i flashed coolhoney last week, i flashed back to 2.3 because phone, and i have the bug on coolhoney that the screen goes off after e few seconds. when you need no phone you can go to ics or jb roms, only bugs i hope is broken front cam. i read in last time around one week to find the suited rom for me. i hope that helps a little.

It really all depends on what you want to be able to do with the tablet. Currently it is running the latest Cool3D Honey rom which is an HC rom using LeeDroid kernel. If you want to go back to stock, which is GB, then you will have to downgrade your hboot. Just do some searching and reading first.
HC roms are going to give you the most pen funtionality and allow use of apps designed for tablets. Most have 90-100% functionality but speed may be hindered a bit over GB. Just read the changelog for the rom.
ICS/JB roms are going to give a quick interface with the more up-to-date features but you will have to sacrifice functionality somewhere whether it be in BT, phone, video acc., camera, etc. Again, just read the changelog for the rom.
Me personally, unless you want to use your tablet as a giant phone than I would stay on 3.0+ because GB was never meant to be a tablet OS.

Thanks for that feedback much appreciated!!
I ended up soft bricking it and of course i didnt realise about the power drain on the battery and not being able to recharge it. So im currently waiting on a few electronic parts to arrive so i can attach the battery to an external charger and start from scratch.
Trying to find the proper thread with good details on how to take the hboot backwards is a pain, as many of them have different methods and as i have found out, most of them dont work, or are lacking details in some way or another. Hence i ended up where i am.
following this thread to get my battery charged again.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422687&page=2
and then will attempt this one and hopefully get it right:

I have these 3 RRU's so im hoping one of them will get me back to stock *fingers crossed):
RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.00.405.3_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_194964_signed

RUU_Flyer_HC_S_HTC_WWE_3.55.405.1_Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M_release_226690_signed
they were the only ones i could find a decent download as all the ones listed here are through the website that asks you to become a member to download over 500bm, annoying. But the website i found is free to download no matter what size. Which is a breath of fresh air.
If you know of a better RRU for me to try, please let me know, and where to get it from.
Couple of more days and i should see how it goes.
Thanks again!!
