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

could you explain what soff hc is?
Missed the part that implied you purchased the flyer pre rooted

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

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

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

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

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
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
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
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
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
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
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?
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
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?

please help. i have looked for days and cant find the answer. im sorry if this has been answerd. i have downloaded many roms and theres only one that fully works. every other rom i put on my evo 3d the wifi says error and 4g doesnt work and the camera shows some funky picture. i cant not find how to fix this. i have the stock kernel if that help. please help me!
u have hboot 1.50?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
yes i do. is that the problem?
You need to boot inrecovery with ADB or use GUI app otherwise you wont br able to have wifi and 4g working
Sent from my HTC.EVO.3D.Xda Premium
The problem is that with hboot 1.5 your not nand unlocked (s-off) so you can't flash kernels without taking extra steps, like booting into recovery with adb or using Flash Image GUI app by joeykrim. You can find it in the market. Here is a link to help u out.

See the [Guide]My Hboot 1.50 HTC Unlock/recovery/rom/kernel flashing notes.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1495358
Assuming you are HTC Unlocked and have a Custom Recovery Installed already, pay particular attention to:
Post 3. My Hboot 1.50 Rom/Kernel Flashing Notes: (Scenarios)
Post 4. CWM Recovery Backup, Format/Wipe, Restore, & Flash
Also, if you took the 651.5 update, you can only use Roms with that base b/c of differences in the kernel/radios. If you are on 651.3 or prior, don't use the 651.5 based roms b/c you'll have issues.
Since I can't post in threads in the development forum yet I thought this may be the best place to try to get help. So here goes.
I downgraded my Flyer to GB via globatrons No HTC Unlock method successfully. I then ran revolutionary successfully to get S-Off and ignored the CWM install like noted in the S-Off HC thread. I then ran through the S-Off HC upgrade with the custom rom with the intent of flashing gumby63's Desensified rom. I flashed the custom RUU and it failed with the error 90 the first time and then the second time it worked like noted. when I rebooted it got stuck in a bootloop. I can access recovery and I currently have it turned off.
What would be the next step?
I have the desensified rom on the sd card already.
If it is of any importance the hboot is: 6.11.1111
Best Buy wifi flyer
Thank you

Hi everyone,
Just picked up a US Wifi HTC Flyer (Best buy version, not sure if there are any others. I've looked around the forums and have come up with a few questions I hope you experts can help me with..
1) From what I see, EVO View and Flyer roms are not interchangeable. I also see some roms for Flyer that say 3G/WIFI and some that just say WIFI. Since I have the wifi model, does that mean I can use either one and it will be fine? Or I have to stick to the ones made specifically for wifi?
2) I looked at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
My hboot does not match those on the guide (previous owner must have done an OTA upgrade). I looked at post #2 of that thread but there are no hboot #s for the wifi model. What can I do about this? Do I go ahead and follow the guide? Do I have to downgrade?
3) If I have to downgrade (looked at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428104), how do I know which RUU file to download?
I appreciate your time and I hope someone can help me. Thank you in advance!
View and flyer are not interchangeable. You can flash all flyer roms WiFi and 3g as long as it is same version meaning gingerbread or honeycomb. What is your current hboot version, are you running honeycomb? I have the best buy gb ruu on my drop box, if you want I will post link.

I downloaded this RUU
http://www.filefactory.com/file/c0a...9BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_191425_signed.exe
The tablet's on 3.2.1.. that's Honeycomb correct?
The hboot version is 1.11.0011.
Correct gb ruu and the downgrade link you posted was correct procedure
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
How about the regular S-OFF guide? Do I follow it even though my hboot doesn't match it?
When you follow the downgrade proceedure and run the ruu you hboot will change. The gb hboot is listed and will be compatible
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
Ah, understood. I will try it. Thanks for the help!
I followed the guide completely but when I ran the RUU file, my flyer is stuck on HTC (black with grey letters) screen. It's been about twenty minutes now. Is this normal?
Sorry I missed your comment. Did this square itself off for you? My crap laptop takes forever when I try to run a ruu exe
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
Yeah it worked after I did a factory reset on the tablet and tried again. I was following this guide though (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758) and when I tried to use the big file update, it was sitting for about an hour and no change. Same for when I tried to fastboot the "light" file. My hboot wouldn't look for the PG41IMG zip file either. Is something wrong? When I had an android phone, it would always automatically start looking for a PG/PD file when I was in hboot. I put it in the root of my SD card and the flyer doesn't try to look for it at all.
put it on external sd
Yeah, I literally pulled my micro SD out of the tablet and put it into the root of that SD manually.
Hi ive instaled roms on my xperia play before and on a Samsung galaxy player, but now I want to do so on a htc flyer but all procedures are different so can someone tell me how to/point me to a guide for: the complete procedure of how I would install a custom Rom from unlocking bootloader to flashing the Rom in cwm?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
As long as its on Gingerbread, and its one of the supported Hboots, just follow this guide to get S-Off and root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
Its full S-Off, so no need to unlock the bootloader.
Basically:
Read read read
Get the needed files.
S-Off using the Revolutionary tool
Install CWM
Flash Superuser to get root
Then flashing a ROM is no different from CWM on any other device. Just put the ROM on your SD, go into recovery, and mash the volume rocker and power button to make the selections.
Only hitch is that hboot for Honeycomb is different from Gingerbread. So you can flash any GB based ROMs. But if you want to flash any HC, ICS, or JB ROMs, you need to upgrade to the HC hboot. You can do this by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
Then if you ever want to go back to GB ROMs, you have to downgrade the hboot.

Hello,
I flashed my HTC Flyer today but one thing does not work very nice. When I restart the device I always need to get into fastboot again and use this command: fastboot boot boot.img
What is the problem? Do I have to copy this boot.img onto the Flyer device?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Wrong command. The correct one is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Use that, and you should be good to go. Easy peasy.
