Need to know - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hi, im haveing my EVO View repaired by HTC and i need to know how to un-revolutionary, because i dont have usb connectivity (The charging port is not working)
Could somone help me? I need to get back to S-ON

Just hope they don't charge. I asked the same thing before I shipped it out. Luckily they just emailed me today saying it's fixed and said they are going to ship back. How did you damage the port?
I mistakenly tried to put the wrong side of the charger plug in.
Very sensitive the port is

Damn! You don't think you may have pulled too hard? Wish sounds ridiculous! I know!
Just asking because if they would have charged me i would have been pissed because I think their port is very faulty. So i really am afraid of it happening again. I know this time I'm going to baby it even more. My gf is going to hate me lol.
Good luck I really hope it all works out or if someone can help.

Could you possibly download a RUU to your sdcard to flash or something ? Just throwing ideas out there..

That won't over write the hboot. You need to be able to push the hboot with adb from recovery. Really not sure if there is a way to do it without a USB connection. Maybe in a terminal emulatorwhile booted although I am not sure if trying to push an hboot while fully booted

So, does anyone know if they can even tell? at this point the device wont power on, but they would have to repair it and charge it up to even know its rooted, right?

Correct. And the only way to do this would be to somehow dd a stock HBOOT (I could provide one) over the revolutionary one, and reflash the stock ROM. It would go like this, but since your device isn't powered it's kinda useless:
1. Install the stock RUU on your device (extract the rom.zip from it, google extract rom.zip extract RUU) rename the rom.zip PG41IMG and place on sdcard >>> reboot into hboot.
2. After 2 complete passes, reboot into the system with the hboot of the RUU on the sd. DD it using Terminal Emulator (a command like this, don't actually run it: dd if=/hboot.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18)
3. Reboot into fast boot to confirm the stock restore.
4. ???
5. Profit
Now obviously the device will require power here and when I used this method I had to stop midway to charge, so even 40% battery isn't an option.
EDIT: If you can get some battery, just do HTC Unlock. Although it's a warranty void, I think HTC would provide support rather to the guy who used their tools instead of a third party one.
My 2 cents, but their 1950 special edition ones so don't lose em!

Oh yeah I just realized you could take your sdcard out and put it into the computer to put files on it, if you can even get it charged though :/

Okay. So your saying that since it can't boot I'm fine, the would HAVE to fix it because it disent have enough charge?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium

I had the same problem back in December. My advice is to turn off your device and conserve as much battery power as you can until you figure out what to do, because once you run out, you're stuck. Unfortunately for me, I found out my port was broken when I plugged it in when I ran out of batteries. I sent it to HTC though, and within a couple weeks I had it back, with HC on it. If you do send it in, make sure to back everything up because they flashed mine.

Well if HTC fixes the port and charges it up and finds revolutionary, I doubt they would refuse to send it back. They've fixed it already.

there have been a couple of people who managed to charge their flyer by taking off the back plate and charging the battery directly. This would only fix a portion of your problem. In the end if you do not have usb connectivity I am not sure you can replace the Hboot. If the port is broken it really has nothing to do with being S Off. I can not see why it would impact the repairs, although I think you stand a decent chance of recieving an invoice.

Broken up volume rocker. Opinions

So my up volume rocker on my thunderbolt wont register a press. I spoke to tech support who said they would send me a new one, I just need to bring it to a store to show them I didn't drop it. only problem is I cant flash back to stock. Do you think they will visually inspect the phone or plug it in? Am I better off just paying the insurance deductible?

maybe if u can flash back a stock root rom they may not notice i also had to get my tb replaced bc the volume down button would not work and at verizon all they gonna do is turn it on and off and try a battery pull and try and press the volume button to make sure its a manufacture defect and make sure u bring ur tb box and sims card for faster replacement
i also droped my phone and put a small chip in it and it was no way related to the volume button so they could not say any thing
To unroot, just put the signed .ruu onto your SD card and boot into hboot via rom manager. It will install automatically and you will be unrooted, s-on and stock.

Well I booted into the bootloader a million times and slammed the up arrow with a pen until it worked lol. So I'm back to stock. And when I went to Verizon they didn't even really look at the phone, they just said they would ship me a new one. Also, to answer a question, the rocker just stopped registering while I was at work one day.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
My guess is the warranty department will be looking at all returns much, much closer now looking for a rooted phone so they can void warranties. Its good you were able to flash the stock RUU, for others who don't I bet you might find a $600 charge on your next Verizon bill. I do believe you could have used adb to push the stock RUU as well.

you can actually plug in a mouse into your phone, from what i understand. if you have the right adaptor. But it doesnt matter too much anyways, take your phone in and the sprint team can fix it for you, they will most likely flash the RUU if you are honest with them, or give you a new phone. I have never had problems with my store so far, if a phone is physicaly broken, as in the battery wont charge, the buttons dont work, the screen is broke, they give me a new phone or new battery, what ever is needed. and they tell me
your phone is rooted, so we couldnt run our normal diagnostics on it, but if you have any other problems let us know.
that is the BIGGEST reason i stay with sprint. kick ass customer support.

[HELP] EVO 3D suddenly goes brick(?) when chose to reboot system.

I was running mlk's ics release on my evo 3d. I had hboot 1.40 and s-off. I had no problems flashing the rom and I was using it with no problems.I have been using it since it was released. No issues. Yesterday, I just went to reboot the system through the advance power menu. The phone went dead immediately, mind you my phone is fully charged. I tried going into recovery using the usual vol down + power, phone doesnt respond. I plug in the usb cable and tried it again, no luck. So I tried pressing all the buttons (power, vol up, vol down and camera button) the phone flashes the htc screen then shuts off. That is the only response I get. When I use adb devices it lists this:
"HT16FHX07713 recovery"
I can get the phone to do the same thing as mentioned above when i do "adb reboot recovery", it just flashes the htc screen for less than a second then goes off while still showing that it is charging.
Can anyone shed some light on what I can do to fix this? If you need any info, let me know and I'll try to provide what I can. Thanks
I see that you tried adb reboot recovery but have you tried adb reboot bootloader?
Thanks, that was the only thing I didnt try. Tried it just now and the bootloader just loaded up. What should I do now? I'm kind of rusty and that its been awhile since I flashed/rooted an android phone.

Sorry for the late reply, got busy. I'm sure you've figured it out by now. If it were me, I'd just flash a pg86img of 4ext (let me know if you need it) and then flash a rom.
Yes please. I do need that. Thanks

If nothing is happening, no lights, nothing on the pc, i would say your s-off attempted failed. Have you tried taking the battery out and letting it sit for a few then booting it back up? i dont think thats going to help. IMO i would say its dead unless someone else knows of anything.
I know in the computer world if something like that happens and the USB ports are fine on the PC its the devices thats dead..im assuming the same would go for the phones

I've seen this before browsing the forums. I got S-Off first time so didn't commit it to memory. Definitely visit the UI site and check. The answer may be to run the process again but verify that.

See there you go lol, someone with a lil more experience with the s-off stuff then me after doing a little searching it does appear that you can recover from that s-off failure...now it seems that the pc needs to be able to see the phone in order to do so, so it might still be a paperweight, but i guess ill let others chime in and see what they say

I also just read a few threads that ppl did fry their usb ports when getting s-off, and also as bad killing the phone..exactly why i dont want to s-off, theres not much i cant do being s-on besides radios and kernals, and even then their work arounds for that

If you can get to bootloader you're rarely screwed. You can always run a RUU. If your port is fried, S-Off may no longer be an option but you can charge in other ways.

[Q] Help! Cannot Connect Phone to PC via USB

Hello All,
Here it is, charges fine, but will not connect as a storage device or for adb, etc. What ive tried...
3 different cables, 1 of which is HTC
3 Different computers (2x Win8, 1x Win7) - 1 of each which had never had phone plugged in
Many different roms
USB Debug is On
Ive installed various drivers, uninstalled various software, cannot get it to behave.
Sometimes the USB icon is in my status bar when im not plugged in, sometimes when im plugged in the icon doesnt appear.
When it does selecting htc sync or disk drive seem to have no effect.
NOTHING in device manager, no unknown, no other, no android device...not a thing to show its connected other then the LED light on the phone.
Im beginning to wonder if its my phone. I was s-off via lazy panda. I have since used Viper's RUU but by taking the rom.zip and renaming it PJ75IMG.zip and loading that from bootloader. Seems to have flashed stock although i still show s-off but locked.
Any help would be great
Had same problem. Ended up having to take it on for replacement.

If u install WiFi file transfer pro from playstore then u won't need to transfer files via cable. Does wireless adb work? Haven't tried it, but it would be the only thing u need your cable for. As long as it charges right.
Just an idea so u won't necessarily have to take your phone in to be replaced. Good luck

I appreciate it, but afaik to be able to root it ill need to be able to directly connect it. Plus it should just work. It used to but hasnt for a while. I thought maybe it was just my ROM but im beginning to think its a bigger issue. I have to check the best buy policy and see how they take care f it.
