Hi everyone, I feel very sorry for this question, I am a noob and not so well in Androis system and I get so confused on all the instruction that I've read on the discussion.
My question is this, I really dont know if I can flash custom ROM such as CoolFlyer or Leedroid ROM for my HTC Flyer WIFI, My HTC Flyer is
unlocked already but still S-ON, with HBOOT 1.11.0011, and it has also a Revolutionary CWM v.4.0.1.4. It is also in Stock Honeycomb ROM
Actually I paid only some Technician to root my phone and I gain S-ON Unlocked, the problem is he did'nt rollback it into Gingerbread thats why I am not sure on how will I installed custom ROM like CoolFlyer.
.3 or
Can someone to inform me how can i make it S-OFF, and if im S-ON still can I flash Custom ROM like Leedroid HC V.4.3 or Cool 3dHoney v.6?
Thanks and really appreciated your help.
Just follow the guides here in the Flyer Android Development forum
My honest opinion is that you should roll back to gb and gain s off. Anyone you paid should of done so. You can flash roms from your current state but it requiresyou to learn how to use fastboot commands

Pretty much. Though you'll need to manually flash the boot.img file from the ROM after every installation, or the system won't boot and you'll be stuck on HTC logo screen, and of course a custom recovery to be able to flash ROMs

Just have a quick question,i read that you can still flash custom roms even if your s-on as long as you have a unlocked bootloader,is this true? If so will there be any down fall to this? Stuff not working right,data connection,ect.. And if so is the a certain rom to flash or it doesnt really matter..

It is possible to flash roms with S-on and unlocked bootloader, but you can not flash ICS based roms if you are still on gingerbread OS. You must first flash the ICS RUU through hboot/bootloader then your phone will have the new radio and the updated partitions and the phone will be able flash any rom. after unlocking again and flashing a custom recovery of course....
Just to add...
Don't forget, because you're S-On you will still need to flash the kernel. But if you're using 4EXT, recommended recovery, then there is no need to worry about it.

Here is where I am confused
I had my Flyer 3G 32GB . S-OFF'd by Revolutionary when I was on GB
Then I had installed LeeDroid's HC rom and I was on HC, everything is fine till now.
Recently I wanted to go back to GB but I could not ( I got some HTC screens so I gave up) then I flashed GLOBATRON'S methods and I am on S-OFF, Rooted HC 3.55.x.x stock Rom from his thread.
Currently there is a new OTA for my 3.55.x.x ROM and I have the RUU file for the OTA.
After running the OTA RUU , now my Flyer is on HC 3.62.x.x but I can not root it. CWM method is not working on the Revolutionary site as this rom is HC , I manually flashed the CWM img thru fastboot but no go.
My question is how to root my Flyer again after flashing the RUU file of the OTA 3.62.x.x from rooted 3.55.x.x
I know that if I flash a rom like Leedroid's it will work, but instead I want to flash the Original OTA RUU and the root it somehow. There is NO instructions on how to do it for Flyer.
My question is how to flash the CWM and SU onto my new HC 3.62.x.x Rom
Can I somehow remove the ROM and RADIO of the already rooted 3.55.x.x by Globatron and replace with ROM and RADIO of 3.62.x.x ? If yes how to do it ?
Or what to do ?
Pls Help somebody
I Think you must: 1 Downgrade 2 S-Off and root

I believe, since it is the ota, that you need to complete the steps of the tacoroot/ misc version method of downgrading from globatron and then flash the gb ruu for your device, I don't believe it matters which hboot you have for hc. Then use globatrons honeycomb s off ruu on top of that and bingo! Hope I helped

I believe you would require someone to make you a stock Rooted ROM that can be flashed via CWM
But why do you not want to use of the custom ~ROMs that are already on the market ?

I already used some of them but I wasnt happy with the battery drainage.
I was on Leedroid and battery drain was fast somehow, currently I am on the rooted stock 3.55 and my battery is 80% since I took it off the charge this morning at 8.00am
I used it full time for 1 hours when I was going to work in my car. Normally with Leedroid I could never get 80% at this time since I do regular things with my flyer every work day , such as check my e-mails, facebook, twitter when I am on the 1 hour way to work.

Here is the LINK of the RUU of the OTA
Now I am S-OFF by Revolutionary , and rooted by Globatron's HC 3.55.X.X from this link
This is the info about it :
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
My Android knowledge tells me , if I replace the ROM.ZIP and RADIO.ZIP of that rom with the pnes from the latest RUU , it can work.
But if it is something else, I wouldn't know it anyway
Quick Note
I have not had any reports of battery drainage on my ROM, its listed as Senseless 4.1.0 in the threads, maybe give that a go ?

Here is a link to a stock ROM which you can flash in recovery that has been pulled from the 3.62.468.1 RUU with root permissions added. Just make sure you take the usual precautions and nandroid backup your device first. If you are fully S-OFF this should work fine.
stock_3.62.468.1_root.zip
MD5: b0b714b280d573965aa8fbecb9da604d
I don't know what the differences are between the ROM I'm using so far and this one, but I'll give it a spin (HTC won't release an update if it didn't fix/add something )

As far as I know , this rom has English and Turkish as the main languages.
You might need Morelocale2 from Market to add more locations such as Netherlands and etc.

You can do absolutely nothing! :good: Just glad to help.
Here's a link to the radio.img from the 3.62.468.1 RUU if you wanted it. You can flash it to your Flyer in fastboot using;
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
If for some reason something doesn't work have globatron's RUU ready at hand.
Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M
MD5: 6d2479b49d4ace9ae46f352f42401dbb (for the radio.img not radio.zip)
I have gathered all the information needed to do the S-OFF switch. I have one main concern. I am on a custom rom. Clean Rom to be exact. Instructions state that I need to get on the "stock" rom first before I go about the procedure. I am kind of stumped here.
Any suggestions of how I can get back to "stock?"
Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Many people have done it on custom ROMS... I had trouble initially when on CleanRom and then switched to a different computer and flashed the stock rooted GB rom, NOT the RUU and the thing ran straight through successfully. So was the ROM the problem, don't know and didnt' care, I was S-off If you have the time, flash the stock ROM before you start. If you find the rooted one, you don't have to relock then unlock the bootloader.
Make sure you use an old SD card...I had to flash a recovery and boot.img between major failures..so have those handy...hopefully you will 'sail through!!!' Good Luck. :good:

Yea it's pretty simple. On my other stock Rezound all I did was HTC dev unlock and flash amon ra and then did the s-off. Main thing to remember is "DO NOT HTC DEV UNLOCK" after you get s-off.

So you flashed a stock GB rom that was rooted without RUU?
Can you get the RUU afterwards if you don't flash it beforehand?
Hello,
I updated my Evo to the 1.22.651.3 software version and then got it HTC unlocked. Is there a way to get S-off from HTC unlocked? If so, which guide do I use? All the guides I can find seem to suggest that if you updated to 1.22.651.3, then you can't do S-off at this point.
Thanks for your help.
Correct, you can't get s-off.

There is no s-off for you at the moment, might not be for some time
new base
Ok, thank you. Mean-Rom 3.5 and higher uses a new base and apparently without s-off I can't update past 3.4. I've tried a coupe times and get a black screen. Is there any work around for s-on phones trying to upgrade to a ROM with the new base?ne

Yes you can. You need to know the limitations of your bootloader.
You are trying to boot the ROM with the wrong kernel

Oh, I see. It's h boot 1.15. Thanks for the link. I should be able to figure out how to flash the kernel separate but where do I extract the kernel from the ROM? And will flashing the kernel ahead of the ROM do the trick? even with the new base?
Thanks a ton. Sorry for the noob stuff.

The kernel is in the boot.img. Open up the ROM and copy the boot.img to your adb folder if you are doing the fastboot method.
You can do it before or after the ROM flash, but the ROM wont boot till you have both

s-off is not yet possible I think.
You can unlock your bootloader and root your HOX+ with HTCDev.
Before you do anything you need to read and understand first what needs to be done. S-Off is not possible now.
Before you do anything, make sure the phone is fully charged.
First you have to unlock the bootloader via www.HTCDev.com Be aware that the internal SD Card is wiped, so backup any music/photos/files you want to keep.
Then you need to install one of the recoveries available for the X+ and make a backup of your stock ROM (the one your X+ is shipped with).
Then you can either just root your stock ROM, or install a Custom ROM which normally are rooted. Custom ROMs are ATM only for the intl. One X+ available. The AT&T version of the One X+ will get them soon!
Because of the S-Off issue it is necessary that the boot.img of the ROM you want to install has to be flashed seperately in fastboot mode.
You access the hboot/fastboot screen by power off your phone, then after a short while press Vol (-) and Power button together and hold them until you see the white screen with the hboot/fastboot screen.
Please start reading here which explains how to unlock your X+. That tutorial is for the HTC One X but basically the same.
Please be aware that you need for the One X+ this recovery or this which are both installed via Fastboot.
After you made sure to do a backup, you can install a custom ROM via the recovery.

Have to second this part.
All I needed at this point was free tethering on ATT.
After using hasoon2000's tool, I was able to follow the instructions in the Q&A area for how bypass ATT for tethering.
It just puts the stock ROM back in, which is a good ROM.
Won't bother to flash it until folks come up with stable ROMS's that have extra tweaks I want

bwt, I heard that boot.img can't be flashed in s-on status. is it right?
(I saw the message "S-ON devices can't flash boot.img in recovery, so you need to flash it manually")
How do i flash it 'MANUALLY'?
