Hi Everybody...
I just unlocked my flyer with htc unlock.. as I already did the upgrade to HC and thought I would have root fastest this way...
But I still don't have root!
I'm in the bootloader and it says unlocked but also that it's S-on
How do I proceed to get root acces, which I need for a certain app....
Do I try and install a custom rom or is there something else I need to do at this junction???
Which custom rom and can I just use fastboot????
My HBoot is 1-11.0011
Any help is very welcome!!!!
Look at the revolutionary s off thread. What you need is to flash a custom recovery which is linked there. This is done through fastboot. Once you have recovery you need to get the su.zip listed in same thread and place it on your external sd, boot into recovery through hboot and then install zip from ed and sellect su zip

I did that... but...
When I try to use fastboot to downgrade my hboot it says remote: signature verify fail ...
I tried redownloading but that didn't help...
Why downgrade your hboot? Maybe I am wrong but if you unlocked it using HTC dev you should be able to flash custom recovery
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
I can't ....
I tried just now and got remote: image error! (Bootmagic check fail)
I downloaded a recovery rom (pg41img.zip) and used fastboot flash recovery PG41img.zip
Also when I try to enter the 'current' recovery I get an image of a flyer with a red lightning in front of it... so I've never been in the recovery although that should be unlocked....
I do not think we are on the same page. This is your device. Please read and understand before you do harm
Recovery can be found here

Commands to flash while in fastboot on your device
fastboot flash recovery recovery_name.img
Once you have recovery you need this
http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-3.0-beta4-efgh-signed.zip
You place this on your external sd. Get into recovery, install zip from sd, select su-3.0-beta4-efgh-signed.zip
I can not help more past here because if this does not work you are either doing it wrong or the unlocked ota behaves differently then what I know

I go into fastboot and then type the commands on my windows pc right?
The console is on the pc, right?
Will try flashing the recovery rom... the problem with my hboot is that it's not revolutionary... that's why I thought I should downgrade...
Yes on pc, and if you are unlocked I believe the recovery should flash fine. Make sure you place the recovery zip in the same directory as your fastboot commands

I flashed the recovery image allright now!!! Thanks!!
I'm trying booting into recovery as we speak.. put the last zip on the sd-card... this is taking a long time... this is normal?
I've rooted three G1's and a Desire Z... this is my first flyer though...
No it normally does not take too long
The recovery you flashed was the one for flyer and not view correct?

It was the one for flyer.... And I can't get into recovery from the bootloader...
What happens when you sellect recovery? Just hangs black screen? Maybe redownload and reflash
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
It gives haptic feedback and the screen goes white w/ htc logo...
Then nothing... tried flashing it twice... will redownload and reflash...

to which partition should I flash it??
This is a recovery. Flash like other recovery. I may not of realized that a difference exist for hc recovery and gb. This last recovery was used to get recovery on hc leaks
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
no worries I'm in the recovery!!!!
I learned something, but it probably should of been intuative. Happy to hear it worked. When you flash su if after boot super user fc, go to market and update super user apk. Should fix issue

Everything works as it should now!
Thanks again, anyway to thank you?
Do the same for someone else if the opportunity comes up

I just thought there's an easier way without pluging the usb.
I searched the net, there were tutorials, flashing recovery image just using your phone terminal.
I encountered "flash_image: not found" error, so it didn't work for me.
So I did the fastboot usb method. Now, I have my cwm recovery again.

I can't use adb in bootloader mode. I try many tine but always fail. Yesterday when i flash cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img, i can use adb and i flash new hboot, unlock bootloader and my flyer bevome s-on with new hboot. I make a big mistake when flash new hboot. Now i can't do anything.
Adb does not work in fastboot only recovery
What step did you get up to in the honeycomb installation
Can you get into recovery?
Have you flashed the system zip
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
I cant flash zip. Does s-on can flash it or need goldcard?
You are confusing me, you need to have your hboot unlocked, you should have custom recovery flashed, you get into recovery and adb push the system zip, then install through recovery
Thank you so much!!!!!
hey,i actually want to post this question on lee droid thread but im unable to reply in the thread so i post it here. i just bouht a used flyer its been rooted an used leedroid GB.since i want to use HC i just use the information on leedroid thread in xda to update it.i loaded the 534 mb rom to sdcard,put it in the recovery,backup it and install zip from sd card.but after 2 hours it wont boot after its succes to install.icant restore and stuck in recovery.im still able to charge though,what to do?
If you are asking why you could not flash Rom directly over gb ROM, it is because of different hboot. Does not matter how long you wait for it to boot. Flash gb version of Lee droid then read threads in development for obtaining soff hc
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
could you explain what soff hc is?
Missed the part that implied you purchased the flyer pre rooted

Read, read, read
Oh and hold volume down and power till you boot into hboot. Select fast boot and power off, then charge. Don't try anything crazy if you are not sure how much battery life you have left
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
so if im correct this is the solution?
Instructions Part 2
The large download is a stock HoneyComb 3.55.405.1 for 3G and 3.55.1114.31 for WIFI with the following changes:
Rooted
Busybox
Secure flag turned off on the boot image
Stock recovery replaced by CWM
Beginner procedure: If you are a novice using windows
Download the appropriate RUU file:
Code:
3G RUU_3G_B09.zip
after this i would be able to install any hc costum rom,am i correct?
Correct. Since you should already be s off gingerbread, because you are running leedroid so I would assume, you can use that method then try hc roms
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
thanks,so i dont need to flash the leedroid gb rom and go straight to stock HoneyComb 3.55.405.1 for 3G.then after that i could go to leedroid hc.will try this and thanks for helping me
Provided your battery has ample charge, yes

thank you very much.i'll try it after charging my flyer.will update the news in this thread.hope you dont get bored with my noob question haha
No worries

ok,i did and its booted up into leedroid hc 4.0 using this methode.
If you intend to immediately install a custom HC ROM:
3G-Wifi: f1a04839f7b187887c77b4ab552cc2fb HC-3G-light.zip
Wifi only: 3c3cf126250ba5c9d996262acc334942 PG41IMG-WIFI-light-B10.zip
Install the custom RUU
the i using this one:
Method 2: Using bootloader - NOTE I strongly recommend using method 1.
Rename the downloaded file PG41IMG.zip
Transfer the file to the root of your SD card
Reboot to hboot, which will detect and install the update.
Note it will require two passes to complete the upgrade due to hboot change
If you used the full upgrade file (BIG download) you are finished, enjoy.
If you used the light image now restore your nandroid backup or flash your custom ROM now - then you are finished.
thank you man
I got my Evo 3d off Craigslist this morning and i love it. Traded my Evo 4g plus cash for it and i couldnt be happier. I was very successful in rooting the 4g amd never had any problems that i can think of and im hoping the same goes for the 3d.
Anyways ive been reading and reading on how to root it, get s-off so i can install a recovery and them flash a rom and kernel. Ive managed to confuse myself because it seems that if you root it one way, you may not be able tp fash custom kernels and if you use another method to root it, your more than like to have all sorts of problems.
Basicall i need help and if someone could post a link to show me best method on how to root, s-off, install custom recovery, and install a rom on the 3d it would be greatly appreciated.
I have Sprint (cdma) Android 2.3.4. Software # 2.08.651.2 hboot 1.5, baseband 0.97.10.0808

I ended up goin a different route by using the HTC unlcock bootloader and that was suscessful. I still have s on and I think I'm gonna keep it that way for now but I need to install a custom recovery.
I've tried setting up sdk all morning and can't get the cmd to recognize adbas an interal or external command. Not sure what exactly it is that in doing wrong.
I wanting to know if there'sa way to install my first custom recovery thru the bootloader in my phone without using my computer so I can flash the su.zip and get this thing rooted. Thanks
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
The twrp recovery has a method to flash that recovery without a computer by downloading it as a zip and naming it properly. See their site for detail.
I still recommend s-off since it is easier to flash Roms and the ics Roms tend to bootloop with s-on.

I dowloaded and renamed it to PC86100IMG.zip then went to bootloader, it read the zip but said "update fail, main version older!" Have any idea as to why its saying that?

It looks like you renamed it to the wrong thing. If you downloaded TWRP 2.2.0 zip, it must be renamed PG86IMG.zip on the root of the sd card. Then when you update in bootloader, it should work.

Hmmm... Does your phone boot? If so, you could download 4ext (see my signature) and install their app. Then it will push the custom recovery for you. I use 4ext myself anyway.
I tried using their app already and it won't let me since I don't have root

Just wanted to give you a thanks again for all your help. I was finally able to figure out why adb wasn't working. Once thaat was fixed, I installed twrp recovery and flashed Su.then did the wire trick which me VERY nervous but it worked and got S-Off after a couple tries and I then installed 4ext recovery from which I understand is the best recovery available. Thanks again!

Your welcome. Glad you figured it out. I personally have never had an issue with the 4ext recovery.
HI. I have a big problem... I tried flashing an OTA file with CWM recovery, and now I get to the HTC white screen with no Quitely brillant below
My hboot is unlocked and I am s-on
I could probable y access fastboot, though I cannot tell right now I cannot use it on the computer I have, but if I access fastboot I have the regular options, and the buttons works. if I choose recovey , I see a android CWM and a small bue progress bar and it reboots back to "Normal" wich is being the white HTC screen right now
I am able to access Hboot which makes me think that I can probably get out of this by flashing back my original RUU.
Pleasae tell me that i am right:
I thought of trying a factory reste to start with , but I am not sure this will work because of the recovery I installed.
My hboot is unlocked.
is it bad Doctor?:crying:
try flashing the stock recovery, then flash the ruu again.
it seems to be leading to something like this ... I'll try
And it worked!!!
I was able to relock the hboot prior to running videotron Ruu executable file. This worked like a charm... I have learned my lesson. I'll wait for my turn to be pushed. Thank you all.

no, the bootloader needs to be locked to flash any ruu file
Dude flash stock recovery relock boot loader then flash the RUU most recent one. And if your gonna unlock boot again and flash another custom recovery us 4ext its the best one in my opinion a lot of options very simple nice user interface no troubles as of yet. Plus it basically like having S-Off cause of smart flash it flashes kernels together with rom. Its 3.00$ on market or you can get it for free from internet or other apps. If anything feel free to pm me
