I'm new around and had a Q: How can I un-root the EVO View tablet, its running GB 2.3.4 with s-off.
I've done dozens of searches and any ruu backups I've found for a stock restore has been dead links. I would like to be able to upgrade to HC.
Is there any way to do this?
See the flyer development forum. The info is there to un-root and S-On for the View/Flyer
Thank you I'll go check it out.

It was rooted using "revolutionary"
Ok was looking around and I still need the RUU for my Evo View that was on GB 2.3.4 all the links I've been finding are dead, is there any way to just do a straight upgrade to HC rather then have to find the RUU I need??
I have the current HC RUU file, I don't care for keeping my View rooted I found no major benefits besides removing junk apps.
Any help plz!

Can I run this OTA to return to a unrooted S-ON Evo View running GB so I can update to HC?
OTA_Express_Sprint_WWE_1.22.651.1-1.18.651.1_release_198260xikterg48lc0snx1.zip (26.87 MB)
Or can I by any chance do a straight update to HC without unrooting and not worry about bricking.
If you are already revolutionary s-off, follow this guide to update to honeycomb

I've seen that but it specifys that you need a GB RUU to get completly stock and that's what I'm missing I can't seem to track one down, I've followed 2 links I found here but the links were dead already.
If you would be so kind as to help me find one or possibly upload one I would be greatful.

Thank-you so much
As the title states, I am looking for a way to do the 2.3.4 OTA while rooted. Is this possible?
You'll have to give more information.
View or flyer?
There's different RUU's you can download for both.
If you're revolutionary s-off'ed and rooted on stock 2.3.3, you can do the mini update to 2.3.4.
BestBuy WiFi only Flyer. I am revolutionary s-off stock rom. If I try to do the update, I get a white triangle with ! inside and a blue droid.
I'm unfamiliar with the Flyer roms, hopefully someone more knowledgeable in them can add.
I was able to update my s-offed 2.3.3 revolutionary View using the 2.3.4 release 1 RUU that football uploaded in the development thread. According to globatron's sticky in development, it seems the RUUs for each version of gingerbread are interchangeable, but I only know this for the View.
It's not the best idea to do OTAs when you altered your device in any way, especially when you can just flash a rom with that update not too long after it's out. OTAs are under the impression that you had everything the way it was when you bought it, and this is not the case.

Just flash stock recovery, then it's fine to take OTA updates.
I’ve been on this forum for a few weeks now and seen many posts on rooting/s-off etc, and I am confused over the options. (thanks to Globatron and others for their hard work). I was hoping that someone could give me the right reference.
I have the stock View with GB and the OTA update has been staring at me for some time now. I don’t (yet) want to upgrade To HC but I do want to do things like backups, remove Sprint bloatware etc. I understand that I have to root the device to do this. Can anyone point me to the steps necessary to root my stock View? Do I just run the prerequisite steps in Globatrons thread? Which steps specifically?
If I do this, and later decide to update to the OTA HC update, will that brick the View? Do I have to use one of the custom ROMs (and approaches) documented here?
Also, if someone here does a custom ICS ROM for the View, could we go from GB direct, or would we have to go GB > HC > ICS?
Thx for your help.
From Stock GB you have to perform all the steps in the Globaltron thread that take you from GB to S-OFF HC.
Yes you can revert back to stock GB , that process is also in his thread. You would have to revert to do the official OTA update, however there is no functional difference in the official OTA and the Globaltron OTA, other than root and S-OFF.
ICS , no one knows for sure since its months away , but its built on top of HC , so very unlikely you would revert to GB to do a custom ICS ROM.
Thx. However, I don't want to go to HC. I just want to get GB rooted / s-off. At what point in Globatron's steps do I stop? (just want to make sure I don't do one extra step that leads into HC and then restart into soft bricked mode).
This is what you want - no more, no less: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
Follow the instructions and you will have GB, root and S-OFF
don't forget to thank globatron...!

You could also go to http://revolutionary.io and follow the instructions there. If you were looking for more options (but Globatron's the man in this territory).

DJ, just take it one step at a time. Make sure you check for your Hboot version before starting. Should be the 09 something. That's what mine was.
Globatron made an excellent step by step guide. It is pretty much automated and definitely way easier than it looks. Read through the steps a few times before doing it. Then when you actually get it done, you'll think to yourself "Wow, that was easy!"

Never mind, searched and found it in the HTC Desire forum:

Just ordered one today and want to be prepared when it arrives. Looked through the dev section but wanted to get opinions from some people here.
It says it will be shipping with Gingerbread. What is the best way to root with Gingerbread? Would it be this link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
In the end I would like to have Honeycomb running on my device rooted. Can I just run it like that and flash a honeycomb Rom? I saw a thread with people having to flash back to Gingerbread to get the official Honeycomb Rom. What would be the point or advantage to this? I am definitely not new to rooting and like to be there when the device first rolls out so I am there from the start but I am juming into this device pretty late to the party so there seems like a few different options to go with.
Appreciate any help with an overview and best direction to go. I am sure others who purchased the device today would find this useful as well.....
Thanks in advance guys...Looking forward to hanging with the view folks. Seems like a cool crowd!
That would be the best way.
If you want to go to Honeycomb and retain the root/S-OFF (google that if you dont know) then you must follow this guide to go to Honeycomb:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409306
If you want stock Honeycomb with NO ROOT you should NOT ROOT Gingerbread and just check for over the air updates.

Want s-off and honeycomb. Is there no rooted stock honeycomb ROM to flash in cwm after rooting in gingerbread? Also is the latest hboot that devices are shipping with the ones that can be rooted?

OK follow that guide.
You can't just flash a HC ROM over Gingerbread, because the hboot versions are different. Once you have followed that guide, you can flash and Honeycomb ROM.
Also I don't thing that HTC updated the View's hboot. You can check by rebooting while holding the volume done key and you will see hboot version.

Cool, thanks...that pretty much answered my question why you couldn't just flash a honeycomb ROM over a rooted gingerbread ROM.
Dear fellow XDA members,
I am in need of some assistance. I just got my HTC EVO VIEW 4G and unfortunately, I accidentally upgraded to Android 3.2 HoneyComb without doing the Revolutionary S-OFF, so currently I did an HTC Dev unlock on my View but it still says "EXPRESS PVT SHIP S-ON RL" and it also updated the "HBOOT-1.14.0005." I tried checking out Revolutionary website and it does not support HBOOT-1.14.0005, so I was wondering what can I do? Do I need S-OFF for anything? I currently have Clockwork Mod installed on my View but it still has S-ON so I was scared about flashing ROMS. I am trying to flash Desensed 1.5 but is scared that I need S-OFF to do so... Can anyone chime in to help me please...
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
PS: BTW, I been searching and reading and rereading.... I just don't understand..
1) You'll need to downgrade to GB
2) you'll then need to run revolutionary for S-OFF
3) you can then re-upgrade to HC S-OFF

I don't think there is anything in the tool, that globatron hasn't already written a guide for on the Flyer. And none of them are hard to do. Anything particular you are trying to do?
ive done the OTA update, and then unlocked using HTC-DEV method becasue my HBOOT is 11.11.0011 and revolutionary didnt liost that hboot as being compatible. Ive been able to install a revolutionary Clockwork mod nad then went ahead and flashed LeeDriods ROM. But now it just starts up with the R2D2 sounds, boots a little and restarts.
Ive been reading and I think it either needs to flashed from fastboot or need to downgrade to GB and relevant hboot.
Also even though I have unlocked the bootlaoder from htc-dev it still says "s-on"?
I'm in the same boat. My flyer is
Hboot 1.11.001
OTA to HC
Unlocked the bootloader using HTC method
Load CW recovery.
Can I just follow the directions to down grade?
sorry to ask people for help again.. but there are alot of guides for unlocking/downgrading/flashing etc. could someone just point me in the right direction of one guide that is applicable to my particular case?
thank you.

I don't know why people keep coming on here and asking why they still have S-On after HTC Unlock. Its never been stated that HTC Unlock gets you S-Off, it just gives you an unlocked bootloader, which is not the same thing.
If you want real S-Off, downgrade and root using globatron's guide:
htthttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759p://
Then you can upgrade back to HC if you want using the following guide (also by globatron, becuase he's the man). You will also need to have the HC Hboot if you want to flash a HC custom ROM, which is also described in the following guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
If you want to flash a custom ROM without getting S-Off, from my understanding you can do so using fastboot. But I haven't seen any step-by-step guide. You might start reading here:

It might be just me but I don't see anything in these guides with anything to downgrade the hboot on 16gb Flyer to gain compatibility with Rev. root method. It is not for me personally but seems others here are having that issue. With those newer hboot versions is there even anything that can be done at this time?
My understanding is that when unlocked with HTC dev you can flash recovery then adb push gb hboot while in recovery then run appropriate gb ruu. Once on gb rev s off then update to hc s off
