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.
Personal disclaimer.....lol
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.
Anyone tried the new HC release 3.55.405.1 available in Globatron's thread (link below) ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
I would like to know what improvements changes exist in comparison to the version HC 3.48.405.1
The problems I have in version HC 3.48.405.1 are:
MyBackup Pro force closes on open.
Dolphin HD freezes and needs to be force closed from time to time.
I have heard of other issues related to the Stylus but I don't use it so I don't know of them.
I would like to hear some feedback on anyone who has tried the new HC release.
Thanks
On initial reviews it is the same. Maybe a little smoother but probably placebo. Benchmarks are a little higher. Have not played too much yet. Can report more later
thank you, I will probably load it tonight when I get home from work myself but was hoping to get some idea of the changes before applying the new version.
The fact that I can't use MyBackup Pro means I might have to reinstall everything which I would rather not do. Did you do a full wipe before upgrading or just apply the new ZIP over the old one? (keep Data partitiion)
It gets wiped in ruu flash
Hi,
I've just updated to the 3.55.405.1 release. For me it is a much better release (so far) than any of the previous HC leaks.
I've a need to run an IBM branded application on my device. This works fine on GB but I've been unable to make it work on any of the prior HC leaks.
IBM had looked at the problem and claimed it was a HTC issue. Now with this latest leak the IBM application not only installs and runs successfully, but I notice that it even the UI has changed slightly as it has become 'aware' that it's on HC.
Iain
I'm running the new HC leak and still need to force close Dolphin HD at times...haven't used the pen extensively.
Other than that it seems to work well. I was able to install Airdroid which I couldn't on the previous leak.
HC is definitely a nice change from gingerbread. Makes the Flyer feel more like a tablet than a big phone. Very refreshing.
Ken
Thanks for the infos, still no calls?
I have made the mistake of upgrading my flyer to HC
It is slower than GB ... I have just spoken to HTC re downgrading back to GB and they say its not possible and I could send my flyer in for a repair but it would be re loaded with HC
I have told the chap I spoke with that there seems to be a problem with HC as some users on xda have issues . he says its not a fault htc know about
Question is there anything I can do to speed up HC .. I have factory reset
I dont wanna downgrade back to GB as I have only got the flyer today
and dont want to void my warranty ....... I actually do like HC but the sluggishness is a not good
Thanks
Some people tend to have issues with lag and responsiveness on HC, while other don't. Some people have even commented that performance on HC is better. On mine, the response seems nearly identical to GB. Maybe some things a a tiny bit faster, while others a tiny bit slower, but hardly even perceptible. Considering the fact that HC has more animations and other eye candy, but still as snappy and responsive as GB, means to me that its chugging along quite well.
Did you do the official OTA upgrade to HC? It just seems notionally to me that the official OTA is causing more sluggish response than globatron's method. But its just a hunch.
You might wait a day or 2 to let the OS settle in, things might improve. But otherwise, I don't think there is anything you can do to speed it up.
Yes, it looks like you have to use HTC Unlock and void your warranty, in order to downgrade (according to globatron's guide). So it looks like your biggest mistake was probably updating via the OTA, instead of rooting and using globatron's method to upgrade. In that case, you can still return the device to stock and HTC would never know you rooted (warranty still intact)>

I'm using the stock OTA HC upgrade, and mine is not sluggish compared to Gingerbread in the slightest. Like you said, it's easily just as fast, if not slightly faster.
I wonder if the people reporting sluggishness on HC did a factory reset upon installing the update. Doing a factory reset and clearing everything out always helps to avoid potential issues with updates, especially major OS updates like HC. Sure you're technically not supposed to have to and it's a chore to re-install everything, but I've always found that it makes quite a positive difference.
It seems to have settled my problem is im comparing to my galaxy note whuch is the mega wrong thing do do. my first 6hrs with my flyer im impressed fingers crossed we get ics
Ive only found five apps whuch arent compatible so im impressed

If that is the case I would suspect it is only due to the data being wiped. I don't have anything in my procedures that in any way changes performance. It is literally just stock HC with root+busybox.
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):

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!!
Hey guys,
So as the title suggests, this will be my first time rooting any phone. I attempted to root my HTC Inspire 4G, nearly bricked it, and kinda gave up on the whole thing.
Now, with my HTC One loaded with unecessary AT&T apps and other stupid bloatware, I find myself in the same position. I know there are many guides for rooting the One, but are there any that are particularly newbie-friendly? Also, I understand that after rooting, OTA updates are impossible. My question is...is 4.2.2 available currently? What about 4.3? And most importantly, how easy/difficult is it to install an update?
Thanks guys. This whole thing has me moderately excited, and equally freaked out (really really like this phone and DON'T want to brick it).

If you have never rooted, an HTC device is probably a little intimidating compared to other manufacturers.
Now, if you just get a guide and follow it to a t, you'll be fine.
You can always get thr phone back to a stock state if you want an ota update, buy if you are running a custom rom, that dev will typically update that particular rom with the ota update.
Hope that helps

if i can help....
i am new to android (iphone convert)...HTC ONE is my first droid device.
i had an iphone 5, Jailbroke it, was lovin life but needed a bigger screen.
HTC One, AT&T, 4.1.2 android
anyhow, i myself was in the same boat as you last week.
my main gripe with the stock HTC one is the fact that you cannot "wake up" the phone any other way
except for the power button. so annoying- it was driving me crazy.
also i have unlimited ATT data plan, and so my wifi tether was dead, and wanted to mod for that as well.
anyhow, i was on the fence regarding rooting my phone, but then i
finally ran into the BULLETPROOF kernel thread here at XDA, and i had to have it.
as i began to research my quest to brick my phone, i ran into this guy on youtube: qbking77
he has some great videos on youtube that will give you the exact instructions and directions on
what you will need to do to root your HTC phone.
His English is easy to understand, he has a support webpage/blog with links to everything you need, very very good and easy tutorial, probably what convinced me to do it.
so here are the steps that he gives:
#1. UNLOCK BOOTLOADER HERE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU7vi388dMk&feature=youtu.be
#2. ROOT INSTRUCTIONS HERE:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRkAHw_GmIs
BAM!...you are done rooting.
He uses TWRP (custom recovery), and TWRP has been an easy interface for me, no gripes.
so, anyhow, after you have gone through those steps, if I can suggest a couple other things I ran into.
one of the main reasons I was wanting to root my phone, was to install the bulletproof kernel.
this kernel allows for you to “swipe to unlock” your HTC phone.
it’s super cool, and that was the first thing I wanted to install.
I went ahead and installed it, happy as can be…
everything seemed cool, but after a day or so, went to open my camera,
and what do you know, black camera death screen, NO CAMERA!
I was like WTH, ???
jumped back in the forums (guess I should have researched a little further)
and I am not sure why, or what the deal is, but there is a glitch with the kernel and 4.1.2 android version. some people were fine but there are a lot like me and had the camera error.
so long story longer,
I ended up trying to re-install every single bulletproof rom version that was available,
still no luck.
finally i PM'd another user on these forums, he said he installed the ANDROID REVOLUTION HD (4.2.2 ROM)
i went ahead and installed, then I installed the bulletproof kernel m7-3.4 (for 4.2.2)
and what do you know, 100% just fine, absolutely sweet.
only other thing I’ve done was install the ULTIMATE RIT_ARHD_12.1 (HD icon them package)
and man, my phone has a whole new life, and I am absolutely loving it.
anyhow, hope that helps,
those qbking77 vids are the best thing to use in my opinion,
(oh and qbking77 has a vid to install "free wifi hotspot for the HTC ONE"....took all but 5 minutes and that was the icing on the cake!)
good luck!
AJ
Welcome
I am not big into posting on XDA because I typically found my answers either here or on YouTube. As 9aj9 stated, look up qbking77 on youtube and follow his videos. They are very straight forward. On top of what 9aj9 stated, I also S-OFF and SuperCID. The following videos explain what S-OFF and SuperCID mean and how you get them.

Best advice is take a step back and give it a few days. You will absorb everything there is in time. And if you **** up it Can be fixed ^_^

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183023
its close to stock with little tweaks here and there and its ALL I have been using. The Dev Mike1986 updates it rather often!
Plus if you are alittle worried at the moment, I would recommend keeping it simple and not worrying about SuperCID and S-off...while I to am both of these things, it isnt really necessary
You don't need to be rooted to wake your device with something beside the power button.
I use 'Power On Volume' and my volume button wakes my device. I use a different app that allows me to lock my HTC One with a touchscreen button.

Awesome!
I picked up the HTC One a few days ago from AT&T (coming from iOS). Like 9aj9, some things were finicky like not being able to wake the phone other than the power button, I can see the gripes with the volume button placement and are easily triggered. I got a slim case to give me space away from the volume rocker.
Anyway, I was going to flash to the Home2Wake kernel, but the bulletproof kernel sound even better! However, seems it's most stable if Android Revolution HD ROM in installed (is that the right word?).
So, I have one question before I proceed - can I revert the HTC One to stock 4.1.2 after flashing to Revolution ROM? I'm asking because I am still within the return window and would like the option of getting it back to stock if I wanted to return it.
Im pretty certain u can revert, when u go through qbking77's vids, i believe he has a vid in reverting back to stock.
But one main thing is u have to run a full backup once u have TWRP installed....

I was wondering about firmware. I just got my ATT One and I saw a lot of users are flashing the newest firmware.
Is this necessary and if so, what order do we do it in? Flash the firmware after Root?

Not needed. The firmware that comes with the phone works on 4.2 roms also (the old If it isnt broken dont fix it comes to mind here ). Some of us just like to have the latest greatest everything so I did the firmware update as well, but like I said, its not necessary.
Also, when installing a 4.2 rom keep in mind that the file system will be different as 4.2 has support for multiple users.
Maybe I caught you before you went ahead and rooted, but it was honestly a piece of cake. I pretty much followed what 9aj9 wrote (thread 3). If you follow qbking77's videos, you can't go wrong. I used a W7 machine, even thought I usually use a Mac, but qbking77 used a W7, so I was able to do each step exactly. I did download the most recent SuperSU (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053) instead of the older version form the site.
Anyway take your time, make sure you have a few hours. Also, realize you will lose everything when you unlock the boot loader. I backed up most things with Helium, but you have to re-install all the apps, Helium just backs up the data.
