I see lots of threads about updating to the latest Hboot and how to do it if you are already at 6.14.5555
But I just got my evo view and ran revolutionary v0.4 last night (I had 1.00009).
But now I have 6.13.x
I only see instructions that apply to people already on 6.14.5555
So How do I get there first? Can I just upgrade straight to the latest?
The one you have is the correct one for gingerbread. You don't upgrade hboot for no reason.
Ok.. and if I want to go to HC I need to just follow this guide then:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409306
?
Correct and read it thoroughly before trying. Follow instructions precisely.
Ok so I found the same article as Dss to update to HC. Instead of using my brain and NOT running the update for bootloader 6.14.5555, I did anyways and now I'm stuck. Just as Dss, bootloader version was 6.13.X and now reads 6.14.5556. Tablet boots to white HTC screen and sits. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tablet is S-OFF, and I do have a full backup from before my mistake.
just run the HC RUU on top of that
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

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
Like the title its good to upgrade to honeycomb official VIA OTA update idmf my phone condition now is 2.3.4 stock rooted& s- off?

no you will soft brick not be able to boot and will have a s off gb hboot with a HC system.
you can either research how to downgrade to a non s off hboot then take the ota or you can upgrade to hc using the easy s off hc thread in development
personally keepig s off will give you an easy route back and forth between hc and gb in case you do not like hc.

So i must s-on again to take every OTA official by HTC?..
Soft brick do u mean i still have a hboot or not? And its easy to recoverable or have a chance to hardbrick?..
Now if im in gingerbread i want install honeycomb by leedroid its just install zip from recovery?
Sorry im very newbie in tablet specially for HTC system: )
Thx for the answer
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using XDA
I was new to HTC devices with my Flyer and I can say as always there is no substitute to reading
ok. why does an OTA cause a soft brick? When you s off you replace the stock Hboot with a patched one that allows you to flash custom recovery and root. If you are on a s off GB set up and you run a RUU for stock GB if you go into hboot you will see you are still s off. The Hboot will not allow itself to be over written. Now if you OTA you find yourself in the same position. The ota if it runs at all will re write your system and recovery as well as radio but will not be able to over write the s off hboot. This will lead to a system that does not boot and worse yet a system that will not likely charge. If you run out of charge you will be in real trouble as the Flyer will not charge when plugged in. Others have managed to take thier Flyer appart and charge the battery seperated from their Flyer (got to love non removable batteries )
If in this state the simple sollution is to flash a gb ruu which should get you back up an running, provided you have enough charge in your battery
now if your goal is to try Lee Droid's HC rom here is your best approach. Since you are already s off GB you are at a good starting point. Down load the rom from lee's thread but do not flash yet. Look in the development section for globatron's easy s off hc thread. Download the light package which will change your hboot to s off hc. follow instructions to flash this package through fastboot. once this is done get into recovery and flash lee droid. you should be fine.
If you ever want to go back to GB post 3 of the same thread has a downgrade package you can flash in fastboot. This again is just the hboot, recovery, and radio and will not boot on its own. After flash of this you will need to either run a GB RUU or flash a GB Rom.
These 2 light packages are an easy portal back and forth between gb and hc. if you make a nandroid back up of both gb and hc you can restore after you flash to the correct base
I'm try to root this ****ing tablet ok. I have unlocked bootloader using HTC Unlock. The tablet is running Honeycomb and I'm trying to downgrade the little **** to Gingerbread. The HBOOT version is 14.something. Everytime i use the Multitool to downgrade, it always says failed for something, tries to transfer the Gingerbread ROM, says it failed, and reboots back into ****ING Honeycomb. And to top it all off, it ****ing locks my bootloader again.
Can someone, anyone, please help me root this devil device? I have rooted many devices before, including an EVO 3D, but this ****ing little ****head tablet has me going insane!!!
Calm down man!
First if you permanently root your device follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1870652
But first unlock your bootloader through htcdev.com
If you want to downgrade from HC to GB follow the globatron's method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38442281&postcount=27
But instead of Flyer 4G's RUU download your's one.
Good flashing

I'm not going to lie, none of those links helped me. But your post made me calm down, and I looked this again with a rational brain. I used Multitool offline instead of online, and managed to achieve S-OFF and downgrade to GB. Then I Updated to HC, and installed a Jellybean ROM from there. So thanks a bunch!
I used to have a link to one of the posts here that was a quick and easy way to downgrade your hboot. I have since lost the link. Anyway, my phone is stock rooted with S-Off, but running hboot 1.5x and I want to go back to 1.4 to run some of the other roms. Is there an easy way to do this? my searching has come up with a lot of confusing posts.
Thanks!

Yes, all you need is a PG86IMG.zip with just hboot 1.4, put on root of sdcard and boot phone into bootloader. It will start to flash.
Here is a post by Ramjet with all hboots.
