To keep a long story short, HTC decided to mess the root on my nephew's HTC View after getting the charging port fixed. I intalled the HC RUU from globatron's sticky (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409306). The system boots up. My problem is the recovery. The HBOOT screen still says Revolutionary and the HBOOT version is 6.14.5555.
I'm trying not to brick this thing so I want to make sure I don't install something from the other threads because I was missing something else.
What is the easiest way to get CWM installed? I saw a thread about using ROM Manager to get CWM installed, but there was somewhat a debate whether or not that was the best method.
Sorry for the noob question, but still a little green when trying to resolve issues like this.
Thanks,
Ryan.
EDIT: Wow, a lot of lookers, but no answers. Doing some research, it seems that installing the recovery image through fastboot is the answer? Is there anything I'm missing. The tablet has S-OFF & Revolutionary. Can't seem to get superuser installed since I need a recovery to flash it (right???). Would running the Revolutionary tool solve my problems?

Hi everyone, I recently installed rom manager I am rooted and s-off'ed on honeycomb. Just wanted to know how I can get rom manager to recognize my flyer when it asks me to install clockworkmod recovery. I tried to follow the steps in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16671722#poststop

ROM manager is not intended to work with the Flyer or View and some functions in this app will cause harm and potentially brick your device if you use it
Darn. Stupidly I already flashed a rom. Stuck at the white screen and it just says HTC. Soft bricked? Anyway to get it working again?
how could you of flashed a rom using rom manager? What Rom? where you on gingerbread or hc? can you get into hboot? were you s-off or s-on? Why, why, why, why, why?
Its really a huge mess. haha. Flashed the miui rom. I'm s-off. I was on honey comb. And to answer your question as to why: I am bored, curious and stupid.
I am not certain but I think you will need to get back into Hboot
may need to fastboot flash an appropriate recovery for your device (FLYER). Although you can try to sellect recovery and see if you can still get into revolutionary. Once you have the correct revolutionary recovery I think you can flash a FLYER hc rom. Or you should be able to re run globatrons hc s-off update and it should replace all the broken parts and replace it with a working system.
at least to me these are the options that make sense
Okay, I can get into revolutionary, but I'm not sure where to go from there. I tried running golbatron's hc ruu but my flyer has low battery and I don't think it is charging while in the bootloader. It needs 30% battery to run the ruu. Is there a way around this? I also tried installing the honeycomb rom from revolutionary but it kept saying installation aborted.
it should hopefully charge while either in recovery or while powered off. I would probably go with gettting into fastboot and powering off. You may need to charge it for several hours. once powered off you hopefully will just have a solid amber back light under the power button and not a flashing amber light

Ah, thank you so much!! That did it. Restored it, and have now learned a couple lessons. haha thanks so much for your time and patience!
So I had some "help" from a well meaning visiting nephew who was playing with my phone and noticed that I had an update available and decided that I should really have the latest software on my phone...so now I am on 2.17 with hboot 1.5, locked bootloader and all with no custom recovery BUT I am still s-off. I have a NAND backup that is not to old that I did with CWM, but how do I get to that to install it?
I have been looking for several hours and cant seem to find a solution...maybe I'm just searching under the wrong keywords...nevertheless HELP!!!!!!!
I am in the process of downloading a 1.13 stock ruu. Will that work or is there a quicker way to get this done?
I would prefer to avoid HTC unlock if I can, and my understanding is that with s-off, I should be able to.
Thanks for helping bail my ass out guys and girls!
(I thought about it, but no, I didnt beat the kid...his intentions were good...at least they better have been...)
Have you tried flashing a cwm recovery? I think I read someone had the same problem.seens your s-off you should still be able to flash a recovery, and after that's done then you can be able to wipe and flash anything you want, and you well even be able to downgrade your hboot.
Nope, it wont let me flash a recovery through fastboot...access denied (phone shows locked). I cant install it with "flash image gui" because i dont have root.
I know it should be an easy fix because I have the all important s-off...I just cant find how to do it.

S-Off just means that the security is off, and you're able to write onto the boot partition of the phone when flashing a ROM, in one shot. If your Hboot = 1.50, you may have to unlock your bootloader via HTCDEV method, your phone gets wiped. Try HTC SuperTool, maybe it will work, since you're S-Off.

Thank you, that got me back in where I needed to be! Was able to load CWM again and restored from my back up...now all I need to do is make since of all the conflicting instructions to do this update so the icon goes away...found some that are fairly clear, but the links are broken now that the upload sites are blacklisted.
Either way, just glad to have my hboot back where it belongs.
Hi! Running into some trouble. I would have posted this in the development area but I am not allowed to until I have 10 posts. I went through the process of unlocking then rooting using amon ra, but thats the last thing I did right. I was in recovery and made the mistake of thinking I could restore an old nandriod, which happened to be from my bionic. Well now I am stuck at the HTC white screen and cannot get anywhere. I downloaded the all on one kit and successfully booted into recovery using it, but even after doing a full wipe I cannot get anywhere. I am new to HTC and with a moto device I would have just sbf'd back but I dont know what to do at this point. Any and all help would be appreciated, thanks!
What did you try to restore and dis you install re install the kernel for it
sent from ics land
I tried to restore a nandroid backup which is what I am guess caused the issue. I am new to HTC and its process, so I am unaware what you are asking by kernal. I unlocked the phone and installed amon ra 3.14 and that was it. Once it was installed I went into recovery and tried the backup, which I am now regretting. Sorry, completely new to this process, thank you very much for your patients
Just download a new ROM in the development thread.
Okay, thought that may fix so I have been downloading one, just hasnt finished yet. Once completed, do I just move it to my SD card, pop it into my phone, boot into recovery and load the zip? Never done it before, just want to fact check.
Is it an ICS or GB ROM?
It is one of the ICS roms....sigh, lol, guess that complicates things. Well, since I have already gone this far, should I go ahead and just relock, load new leaked RUU then unlock and load ICS rom OR forget that, download a GB rom and just flash it?
No you're good with downloading an ICS ROM. Did you also download the PH98IMG that goes with it?
I downloaded earlier when trying to root with Amon Ra and and got a message that it was out of date, so I thought it PH98IMG was Amon Ra from what I read in the forums and downloaded the new 3.14 and loaded that. Was I mistaken? If so, what is PH98IMG? There is a wealth of knowledge on this site, just really hard to piece it all together, lol, thank you again for your patience.
I was confused at first on what it was, too. I may not be 100% on this but it's essentially the kernel for the ROM. Since we don't have s-off we have to manually flash kernels in HBOOT instead of just flashing them in recovery.
What you wanna do is rename whatever the kernel is to just PH98IMG(it usually has it already in the name). Delete whatever comes after it. So it will say PH98IMG.zip afterwards. Then what you'll wanna do is put it in the root of your sd card. That means don't place it in any folder.
Flash the ROM first in recovery then go into HBOOT and it will read the PH98IMG.zip and prompt whether you want to update or not. Hit volume UP to update and then reboot and you should be good.
Also, make sure you delete the PH98IMG.zip from your SD card before going back into HBOOT again because it will keep asking you if you want to update it. This will prevent you from getting into Recovery from the Bootloader and if you ever get stuck in a bootloop, like you just did. The only way to get back into recovery would be to remove SD card and connect it to another phone or Computer and delete it that way.
Woah, excellent, just want I needed, some simple breakdown of everything. Once last favor, I searched for the PH98IMG(cant remember where i got it earlier) and there are alot of items named the same thing. Can you point me in the right direction of the one I need?
Which ROM are you trying to flash?
CleanRom 4.0
Well, actually you will need to relock and download the RUU if you want to use that ROM.
ok, downloading the RUU now and have the Rom downloading as well, once they are finished I would relock, load the RUU, unlock then load the new Rom right?
Yes that is it. While running the RUU follow the directions from Scott to the T. He has them posted in the first post, or at least a link to his directions.
I bought the Flyer a while ago and it came with HC installed. Now that it seems that ICS might be an option for it here on xda I figured I'd start looking into what I need to do in order to flash in a new rom.
I've done a bit of reading but it feels like I have missed something fundamental somewhere. So... this is what I have done:
As far as I have understood it is not possible to get s-off while on HC so I just went ahead and successfully unlocked the boot loader through HTCdev.
Now it is my understanding that I should be able to flash in clockworkmod recovery eventhough I am not s-off'ed, right? I downloaded cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14693680 and flashed it through fastboot. According to the output everything went well and I got two "OK" from the command line.
Now, when trying to get into recovery I just get to the green HTC logo with white background and the FLyer doesn't move anywhere. What have I missed/done wrong to not get into the clockworkmod recovery?
I should probably end with saying that the Flyer still boots into Android without any issues so I haven't totally bricked it... yet
You are trying gb recovery on hc. Look for thread in development from Paul obrien about leaked hc. Has right cmw

Hello, I've installed LeeDroid, but it doesn't work. I see only HTC logo and 'Superman Android'. My hboot version is 1.53.007. I installed Cyanogen Mod and I want install official ROM 4.0 ICS. How can I do it? Please simply method
First off, LeeDroid has nothing to do with you wanting to flash a new rom.
Second, how did you install LeeDroid? Are you s-on or s-off?
I am s-on, i installed it by 4EXT
Ok well again, Leedroid has nothing to do with wanting a new rom. Find a rom you want to flash in the Dev section, and flash it like any other rom. Just be sure to read the first post for the thread you want, you may not be able to flash most roms if you are s-on. You may have to downgrade or do the wire trick thing to get s-off first.
How can I do it? I can't do it by fastboot, i cant install nothing else via 4EXT, because when I click recovery, i see on the top 'SECURITY WARNING'. Please, help me!
Find the ruu for your area here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208485
Flash it and then you may have to unlock with HTC dev again. I do recommend you get s-off as it will make things easier.

Ok, first, it really sounds like you need to do some more reading before you go any further.
Second, you need to be more informative. What exactly do you mean that you "cant run ROM"? What do you mean the "wire trick not works"?
worked, you can close thread
