Guys, I can really use some help here.
I upgraded my Flyer to the first Honeycomb leak (I don't remember the exact upgrade procedure I used) and now I want to update to the latest official release.
Tried the simple downgrade guide with no luck, running RUU's give me image errors or even a crashed flyer (distorted screen). Putting the ROM as a zip on the SD card gives me the "Main version is older" error. Tried flashing HBOOTS, ROMs and Recoveries through fastboot, all fail with error "signature verification fail".
I currently have a flyer that only boots to the bootloader and I only have access to it using fastboot. Booting recovery brings me back to the bootloader.
The bootloader shows:
Code:

To get up and running unlock boot loader again using htcdev unlock, then flash recovery in fastboot and then you can load a rom like lee droid

I can't boot to recovery or Android, so I don't have access to ADB to push the misc_version file.

I do feel stupid now... I already tried the HTCDEV unlock a few times, but that gave me errors... Doing it again now I discovered I was doing it wrong... I included the "INFO" string that every line starts with... Argh.
I'll flash the unlock.bin later this evening.

And I was indeed going for LeeDroid!
The unlock was succesfull, but it took me some time to get a working recovery. I finally got recovery working with the recovery image from Globatron's "HC-3G-light.zip".
I'm flashing the GB RUU now, let's wait and see.
Everything working now. All came down to me xopy/pasting a bit to much "INFO" for the HTC Unlock.
Thanks for the help!

I'm stuck too, but running into the htcdev s-off bug
I pushed my unlock bin to my flyer, but I can't "continue" past selecting "Yes" in the official bootloader unlock step. I've searched the web, but no answers as to why.
I can't boot into android to run adb, and have no recovery. only fastboot. any ideas?

My RUU is
modelid: PG4140000 (Wifi Flyer)
RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_X.XX.1540.XX
cidnum: BS_US001
I can get access to fastboot and recovery,
Tried to downgrade using its original RUU, but its fails at the end with both globaltron methods; I think im doing something wrong here.
Method 1: followed the easy install guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759
When pushing
"adb push misc_version_flyer_wifi /data/local/tmp/misc_version"
it says No such file or directory
but file is in root sd folder
Method 2: Downgrade from HC beta leaks or official HC OTA to Gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19607833&postcount=3
Im using the "RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_2.27.1540.31_R_Radio_20 .3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_204116_sign ed.zip" file.
Pushed the bootloader, all seems fine, then at after "oem rebootRUU",
it restarts and there is black htc start screen instead of white and hangs.
Restart to go to hboot.
in Fastboot I flash rom.zip
I get fail message:
sending 'zip' (500195 KB)... OKAY [ 94.924s]
writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...

You want to flash the zip in that black screen

And looks like you never relocked your hboot. And you are using dated method to go to hc, should be using globatron s off hc method
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
yea I should have gone with globatrons method instead of Pauls. Did not know there was a difference, and the only reason I went with Pauls is that there were some instructions for flashing radio and other files from Leedroids zip package.
Also, did not know you can still access fastboot with the black htc screen.
There are two RUU for Best Buy tablet:
RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_X.XX.1540.XX
cidnum: BS_US001 (find out by in fastboot type: fastboot getvar cid )
Frist RUU: 2.27.1540.31
Tried 2.27.1540.31 RUU, which i read is newer latest updated android, but this give me the following error:
sending 'zip' (500195 KB)... OKAY [ 77.920s]
writing 'zip'... INFOadopting the signature contained in this image...
INFOzip header checking...
INFOzip info parsing...
FAILED (remote: 99 unknown fail)
finished. total time: 83.743s
Second RUU: 1.36.1540.32
On the 1.36.1540.32 RUU, the extracted Hboot name is a .img file and wont push in adb. Says error device not found and cannot continue. Does this file have to be a .nb0 like the other RUU?
You should not be trying to push hboot anyway and you cannot use adb unless in recovery
Did you OEM lock?
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
Thank you mcord! flashed worked with the 2.27.1540.31 RUU and it was the due to not locking the bootloader. Thought locking the bootloader only applied to globaltron's method 1 as that says to do so and is absent in method 2 instructions.
will soon write what i learned so that it may help someone else.

sorry to hijack but why is it so important to oem lock? it won't prevent you from flashing any of the files?

In this case when attempting to flash the system zip pulled from the ruu.exe you need to relock or it won't flash. There is no longer a need to use HTC dev unlock anymore. Use globatrons s off hc upgrade in development and you do not need to lock before revert, but you then do have to push hboot

I have sort of the same problem. I upgraded to HC via globaltron. I was having problems with HC and attempted to downgrade via globaltron's method 2. I am a noob and unfamiliar with adb.
How do you lock the bootloader.
When rebooting I am stuck on the white htc screen.
I am able to gain access to the bootloader (HBOOT 6.10.1002 Radio 3809.07.04.06_M) and Rev CWM recovery.
Thank you

As I understand from your post, you were S-ON on GB, ran OTA, and were on S-ON HC, right ?

put it in fastboot mode and run the RUU again.
from fastboot
fastboot oem rebootRUU
Run stock ruu (only if you have the exe)
do you have the ruu.exe or just the zip?
if its just the zip make sure you run cmd with administrator rights and make sure the ruu zip is in the directory where your fastboot resides. on a windows 7 box (Program Files (x84)/Android/android-sdk/platform-tools)
then:
fastboot flash zip ruu_zip_name.zip
Good luck

This should work for you, I had similar issues, and had to run fastboot commands to get it loaded right. This is the best explanation I've seen, should be added somewhere in the pinned docs.
Also you may have another option.
hboot 1.10.0000 is a stock hboot for the BB wifi flyer.
From fastboot you should be able to run revolutionary to gain s-off irregardless of your rom state. after you have s-off its just a matter of do you want HC or GB.
You can always relock the bootloader once you have a working rom again.
I have the HC s-off ruu. its buried in a thread somewhere but i'd be happy to host it somewhere so you could download it.

You're right, thought the U would be after 'shooter' without the _
Just checked it with my own bootloader.
Still, it's a sticky post in both development forums and the best known method for achieving s-off...
there is a thread in the GSM section I believe that is called something like "Guide to Running AOSP ROMs on EVO 3D GSM."

Make sure that u put it in the same folder as the adb tools
But im not sure if it will work with s-on
If u r not able to get s-off u should install 4ext recovery once u solved the actual problems, because it is the only one (?) that can flash all roms with s-on

what do you mean, the wiretrick dousnt work? Where dous it go wrong? the wiretrick is very easy to do...
That error in fastboot is probably because of a locked bootloader, the wiretrick locks your bootloader. (it did with mine)
If you don't mind, you can do S-OFF, so you won't have any problems..but you could lose waranty (if it matters)..but you can relock it etc..I don't know about that..I don't care for warranty ..
You have "Unlocked" on top of your bootloader..When you do the wire trick, it will say "Locked"..but it doesn't matter. You can do whatever you want with it. You can change HBOOT, you can install every fu*king ROM overhere ..
You had official ICS OTA update? Yes, that's why you have 1.53.0007 and S-on . So you unlocked bootloader via htcdev.com. That's why you have "unlocked" with 1.53.0007. Now, you have to do next (this is part from HERE)
First of all download fastboot.exe and adb and AdbWinApi.dll extract to c:/android (make the folder) and then: (but you probably already have that because you needed it for "unlocking")
Download http://unlimited.io/content/files/Co..._u_ICS_WIN.zip
4_check that adb debugging is enabled in Settings->Developer options
5_extract the zip file and follow the instructions in http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear-pub...gsm-shooter_u/
6_make sure to uninstall htc sync and battery to be at least 75%
7_run controlbear.exe as administrator
8_follow unlimited.io instructions(Wire trick) type unlimited.io in ur browser and go to evo 3d gsm section and they will explain the wire trick
9_if you see error code 66732337 then your time when using the wire wasn't correct, re open controlbear.exe as administrator and try again
10_after you time the wire trick correctly it will ask you if you want to s-off the phone(In controlbear.exe) type y for yes
11_Well done s-off (now it will say "locked", not "unlocked"..but don't bother with that because it is s-off..so "locked" or "unlocked" doesn't matter)
Sometimes ur hboot will be corrupted here's what u have to do
1_download PG86IMG.zip from http://depositfiles.com/files/90ondkrk0
2_copy the zip to sdcard
3_go to bootloader wait for it to finish scanning and checking the image then click yes(volume up)
4_wait for it to finish then reboot
If you still have problems, you will have to downgrade your hboot (on 1.49.0007). Here is the thread: [MOD] [6/10-UPDATED] REVERT TO hboot 1.49.0007 #4 simple steps [WORKING FOR EVERY1-?].
When you finish with that, download any ROM you want to install, enter 4EXT recovery, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache+dalvik, go back and "install from SD Card". Find ROM (which you will download of course and put it somewhere on SD Card) on your SD Card and install it .
Happy s-offing

I've been trying to research this for the last few weeks and so far I've:
1. Unlocked the bootloader via HTC Dev
2. Installed Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 recovery
3. Rooted
However, I understand that to upgrade to a more recent OS (e.g. 4.x) I need S-OFF. The device is currently S-ON.
I also understand I need to downgrade to an earlier HBOOT and OS which will allow me to use tools to S-OFF. Once I've done that, then I can put a much more recent CFW on it and thus a newer OS.
However, here's the problem. Running an appropriate RUU doesn't work. It does nothing at all. I've donwloaded one from two different sources and neither do anything. They just say 'sending....' for hours on end, and when I give up a reboot I see RUU failed and then reboot again and device is back to where it was before. Nothing's changed.
If what I understand above is correct, what's my next course of action?
It's a P510e HTC Sense 1.1 (Fastboot getvar cid says HTC_16 so it's a PG4110000) with 3G and Wi-Fi.
Thanks in advance!

First try this http://revolutionary.io/
Basicly follow instructions on site.
If it doesnt help, xda forums are full of threads which will help you.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply, but I've already visited that site. Unfortunately, it isn't of any help to me as I'm not running the required HBOOT version. Mine is later (v1.11.0011) and it needs to be downgraded to an earlier version before S-OFF can be achieved via revolutionary.io.
So, I guess I firstly need to find a way to downgrade from 1.11.0011 to an earlier HBOOT before I can then S-OFF and add a custom ROM running a later Android OS.

Hi,
For some reason, the RUU approach isn't working for me.
If I try using the util itself, it never sends the file to the Flyer. I've sourced the RUU from two different locations on the 'net, with the same result. I discovered that the ROM.ZIP in both wasn't a valid ZIP file so I couldn't try the misc_version method (*and* worryingly Kaspersky 2014 detects the misc_version file as Malware and deletes it so I'm concerned about that method anyway).
I've rooted and CFW'd three devices in the past (a G2 Touch, an SII and a TF301T) but this HTC Flyer is a pain in comparison (and I have a Desire HD to do next!).

Yes, unlocked via HTC Dev then rooted by adding the Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 recovery image.
there is no malware on misc file you can use it and open the ruu wizard wait for couple seconds the take the rom.zip, be sure that you have at least 700 mb free memory on your pc before starting the ruu wizard.

Okay, I've followed the misc_version instructions (temporarily turned off Kaspersky so it wouldn't complain) and even though I have now relocked the bootloader etc. the RUU *still* doesn't do anything. It reboots the Flyer, but afterwards it just sits there and says it's sending but never does! There was an error that flashed up sometime during the 'adb' or 'adb shell' stuff - mentioning too many links - so maybe there's another issue somewhere?

if you do all the steps from the links above it must work i dont know why you cant downgrade try puting the rom.zip on your sdcard and reboot to bootloader be sure that rom.zip is not corrupted and rename the rom.zip to PG41IMG.zip.

I'd downloaded RUUs from different sites on the 'net and Windows reported the rom.zip they contained was duff. However, just tried testing one with 7zip and that reported the zip was fine (and I extracted it as a test), so for some reason my Windows 7 is unable to read the zip file correctly, which might explain why RUU was failing to work?
Anyway, I copied the RUUs resulting rom.zip file to the SD card and renamed it as suggested.
I ran misc_version via adb and set it with the correct RUU version (2.00.405.3) and then exited back to the command line, and told adb to reboot to bootloader. Bootloader loaded and checked the PG41IMG.zip file, and it then reports "Main Version is older! Update Fail!", which I expected misc_version to avoid?
(If I try 'adb reboot bootloader' from the # su prompt rather than exiting first, adb shell reports that it can't find the device. Is that relevant at all? I assumed you had to exit back to the Windows cmd prompt before doing 'adb reboot bootloader' (which works) but could that be where I'm going wrong?)
Just in case it's at all relevant, 'fastboot getvar all' tells me:

The flyer is 3G and Wi-Fi, HBOOT 1.11.0011, running 3.55.405.1. It's on Talk Mobile (via Vodafone) for 3G data and the device seems to originate from South Africa rather than the UK, but I'm assuming WWE is going to be okay?

It's okay, you've been really helpful - and patient - so I'm really grateful for your suggestions. I thought I was getting close up until I got the old version problem!
I'll try again (and again) and see what happens.

Bricked?
Unfortunately, something very odd has now happened to the HTC Flyer. It was left plugged in to my PC, slowly charging via USB.
We went out for part of the day, came back and the device is now caught in a perpetual loop. Screen goes off for about 7 seconds, then comes back on, stuck in FASTBOOT USB (if I'm connected via USB) or FASTBOOT AC (if I'm using a plug) for about 3 seconds before going off and then repeating the cycle. The power button flashes orange on/off throughout this loop.
I have noticed that apart from the usual info (e.g. S-ON, etc.), it also has one important addition underneath *** RELOCKED ***, which is:
*** Security Warning ***
The options I have are:
BOOTLOADER
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
As I only have 3 seconds, I don't have the time to select anything other than BOOTLOADER and the instant the HBOOT screen appears, the device starts the cycle again and I'm back to the beginning.
Any suggestions before I have to inform my sister-in-law that her flyer is now a brick?

Hi,
Sorry to be a bit slow, but I need a few more details?
I've got a backup of my system (via Revolutionary recovery mode) from a few weeks ago. That presumably includes the Honeycomb ROM (the flyer was running 3.2.1), but how do I reinstall it when the Flyer is stuck in this loop?
The backup contains: boot.img, cache.img, data.img, nandroid.md5, recovery.img, system.img
The system.img file will be the ROM as it's 768MB.
I don't see how to get the Flyer to do anything whilst it's stuck like this. It doesn't switch on at all if it isn't plugged in (USB or AC) and it's in this loop if it is plugged in. I don't think it's charging the battery at all whilst it's in this loop, and the battery doesn't seem to have any charge if it's not plugged in!

What do you mean "same issue"? You replaced the screen and can't do anything now? That is the jist of what the OP said...
Are you locked, unlocked? S-on or S-off? Proper drivers loaded? Hboot loading and can you get a Fastboot response?
A little more detail would help here...

Device is not rooted. i've try reflash many recovery, operating succefull but it can't boot into any recovery.
Can you boot recovery? Try
fastboot boot twrp.img
But replace "twrp.img" with the name of your recovery image file.
Please attach a screenshot or copy and paste terminal interactions.
