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

Thank you
Flash the rom

Hi,
I'm not very savvy with these things but carefully worked through Paul's original upgrade to HC successfully. I now want to downgrade to GB to install globatron's HC, but despite reading everything multiple times and thinking I was clear, something has gone wrong. I had just reached the first stage ready to flash the RUU and I have got a relocked - security warning message. I'd charged my flyer fully before starting this, but now the flyer won't turn off or charge, and it's nearly out of battery. I've searched the forums and tried everything I could find but it's still like this, and now it's started turning itself on and off to the bootloader again and again.
One post said I need the unlock.bin but I don't know what that is or where to find it. If anyone has any ideas I'd really, really appreciate the help.
since posting I've found the unlock.bin and can activate it through adb, but I'm not getting enough time before the flyer powers off again to follow it through - get the padlock screen, can't get further.
So all you did was re lock? If so hold volume down and power till in hboot. Then sellect fastboot then power off and charge your device for a while.
The unlock.bin is what you used originally to unlock bootloader from HTC dev.
Once you are good and charged you can run the ruu to return to gingerbread.

Thank you. Because I've now slightly lost my nerve...to recap, I have downloaded the GB RUU - can I just run this from my desktop, then use revolutionary to get s-off, then follow guide to upgrade to honeycomb as per globatron's instructions?
Yes, get into fastboot and run ruu. If you run into an error that says main version is older you may have a couple additional steps.
What version flyer are you?

I am caught in a bootloop and can't figure out what to do. I can get into the fast boot but when I try to restore or install a new rom, it goes back into bootloop showing the htc logo.
The background information is that I had rooted and installed a custom when I got it then didnt use it much for the last 6 months. When I started using it again I wanted to update the rom but was having problems getting it to load so I decided to load the original rom thinking I would start ovter again from scratch. seemed to work I updated via the OTA to two versions of GB but when I installed the HC update it stuck on the HTC screen. I havent been able to get it to do anything since.
Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone?
please I love my flyer
So you tried to install the ota on rooted s off device. That was your issue. You likely have a miss match of hboot and system.
Get into hboot and tell us what it says up top. Version and if it says s off or on

here is a picture of the screen.
thanks for the reply
I believe all you have to do is follow the steps from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
you already have a s off gingerbread hboot. I would power down and charge your device for a couple of hours before attempting. I think you should be able to fastboot flash the approriate package and or run the appropriate ruu and it will ultimatley replace the gb hboot with a hc hboot and flash the remainder of the system.
your problem as I mentioned is that the s off gb hboot could not be over writen by the ota update and so you are in a sittuation where your hboot does not match your system and radio. Before attempting it you may want to post your sittuation in the thread. Globatron is very active and usually quick to repsond. Just be concise with what you did to get to your state
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

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
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
Hi all,
I was trying to downgrade my HTC Flyer (3G and WiFi EU version, HTC_001) to gingerbread. Everything seemed to work as instructed but I'm now stuck on the white loading screen with the HTC logo on it, and can neither boot or communicate with the device.
For the downgrade I followed the instructions on this thread really carefully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428104
I was using the 2.23.405.3 RUU.
To begin with, I'd upgraded to honeycomb by following Paul's guide, that had all been working fine for the last 6 months or so.
I've managed to power down the flyer through the adb fastboot, but that's as far as I can get. I'm not very experienced with this, so if anyone can make some suggestions on steps I could take to get my flyer working again I'd really appreciate it.
Many thanks,
Andii
Get into hboot and tell me your hboot version and if it says unlocked. I think you followed the wrong procedure and likely have hc hboot with gb system or something like that
Hi,
Thank you for replying. My Hboot is 6.11.1111
Does it say unlocked at the top or s off
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using xda premium
I don't know, because it won't turn on now...
when I went through the process of the downgrade, at one point it gave me an instruction which involved locking. The command prompt said it was "already locked".
If it is not charging you will have to try to charge the battery independent of your flyer. There are some threads showing how to do this. Google it. I think you were soff hc and you flashed gb. The ruu can not overwrite the soff hboot so you are left with miss match parts thus no charge

Thanks so much for your help. I've found some of those threads; I've gotta say, It looks pretty complex and I think taking it apart is way beyond my capacity to sort. Rather regretting getting into this now, lesson learned! Is there no other option? If I send it off, obviously my warranty is voided, but will they repair it (at my cost of course)?
I'll read the charging threads thoroughly, but am really anxious about the process.
They should be able to repair it easily

Greets,
I've more or less exactly the same problem. I was on some Leedroid Custom HC version. For upgrading to a newer Leedroid Version I was downgrading back to Gingerbread using globatrons Downgrade Thread.
Worked fine until first reboot.
First I used RUU_Flyer_TMO_DE_2.27.111.1 (cause I have a 3G/Wifi T-Mobile branded device)
and later I tried again via this RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.23.405.3 (Stock version?!)
Still not working.
Here some details:
I still can access this revolutionary Bootloader (Vol Down + Power) and I think fastboot commands are still useable.
Here's what is written there
FLYER PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBoot Version is 6.11.1111
MICROP-0950
RADIO-3809.07.04.06_M
eMMC-boot
You have an idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance !

Hej,
I used the downgrade procedure from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18508210&postcount=1 starting from "Downgrade".
I didn't create a goldcard, I was "just" using the RUUs mentioned in my last post.
Thx!
Your hboot said s off. To me that means you had s off hc which could not be downgraded using the method you tried. You likely have hc hboot and gb system. Go to easy s off hc thread and look at post 3. Download the correct downgrade package, 3G or wifi, follow instructions. Then flash gb ruu or gb rom

Hey Mcord,
thank you very much for your help, worked fine for me!
Now I just set up the gingerbread base (in S-OFF) on which I can install my ROM, didn't I?
It's written in the post that I can use the base for installing a HC Custom ROM (which was my intention) - can I just drop the Leedroid-ROM-ZIP on my SDcard and install it right away via the Bootloader?
Thanks again!
You have me all confused now. You were on hc with s off, why were you looking to go back to gingerbread? You could of just flashed the rom. Now you are on gb s off. To be able to flash hc roms use light package in op of same thread to get back to hc s off then flash lee rom.
What made you think you had to go back to gingerbread
I read somewhere in here http://www.modaco.com/topic/345950-...g-honeycomb-on-your-flyer-the-complete-guide/ that you need to go back to Gingerbread before installing another HC custom release. I was wondering a bit myself, though.
In Leedroid FAQ also globatron's instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19607802&postcount=1) are linked at the Install FAQ. So I was just working off the instructions. First time flashing to Honeycomb was also more or less like this - I was on some GB version and I had to downgrade to a lesser version number of GB before actually going to Leedroids HC release; so this time I was not questioning myself for a sense behind it ^^
With light package I guess you mean the Instructions Part 2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19607802&postcount=1 this thread?
3 has the light updates meant to be used if you intend on flashing a rom immediately. You got confused a bit with s off and htc dev unlock. You were s off and free to flash roms
I have an HTC Flyer that will not boot past the htc logo. My college roommate paid some guy to root and install ICS on and I guess after he worked on it the tablet started doing this. The Flyer is the best buy wifi version. I was able to get it into fastboot and saw that it is: Revolutionary S-Off, hboot - 6.11.1111, Radio 3809.05.04.10_M. From fastboot I tried to use the boot to recovery function but it just sent me back to the htc logo. I'm not very familiar with the flyer myself but since its friends i thought ask if anyone knew if anything could be done.
There is a thread by globatron for getting to honeycomb with soff. There is a hc Wi-Fi light zip. Follow instructions to flash that via fastboot, then go to recovery and flash jb Rom
