So ive searched for what im looking for but im unsure which way to go with rooting because i guess some software versions arent compatible
I just came home with a 16gb wifi flyer, and i'd very much like to root. Ive tried every samsung epic and htc hero rom available, so i know the benefits.
I have Software number: 1.36.1540.32, 2.3.3, htc sense 2.1
Could someone point me in the right direction for rooting with this software version? Thanks
US BB wifi version?
Easy to root, just follow the guide. Then you can run any custom GB ROM or keep it stock.
Only issue is if you take the plunge to Honeycomb, you can never go back since there is no compatible RUU.

Yeah, that one. I was looking at the rooting guide, but it has my software version listed under 32gb 3G and thats not mine.

Thanks for the reply, i did a bit of research into Revolutionary and it turns out its the HBOOT version that matters not the software version. So having HBOOT 1.10 it worked fine. CW installed, and FlyHigh Rom/Kernal flashed.
Apps run very smooth, but oddly the live wallpaper im running lags now, before the flash it didnt. Im wondering if its from the CPU settings. Possible underclocked too much sitting at the home screen or something.
Update: Changed the govener to performance and the LW no longer lag. Thats what i assumed it was. Ill have to find which one has the best battery conservation while still running smooth. Cant do too much testing while im at work though

WTG! Now, did you flash CW through the instructions? I have tried to do this again from the hboot with no luck. Any pro tips?
Also, LWP should still pause in between screen switches on the flyhigh....

I flashed CW through the revolutionary program. When it gave me the option to download and flash it, i just said yes.
And yes, i know about the LWP "pausing" while moving screens, but this was running very choppy till i messed with the CPU settings.
What part were you getting stuck on? Its pretty linear once the script starts the install.

I've downloaded it from recovery and it installed, but it would always go into recovery like CW was never there
maybe i should go back and try again :|

You mean it boots to the white screen with the Android guy skateboarding or whatever?
Menu down to where it says "Recovery" and select that, and it reboots the device into CW.

Im not sure what the stock recovery looks like on the Flyer (ive yet to see it) but it sounds like i would reflash the CW recovery, that is infinitely important.
So, you are rooted but not using any custom rom?

CWM IS the recovery. Its a custom version that allows you to do a hell of a lot more than the stock recovery. Any shot of getting a pic of what your bluescreen looks like?
I rooted my old Viewsonic GTablet to put a better ROM on it, this HTC Flyer is great, what would be th advantage of rooting it?
Sorry for the noobish question.

Long story short personal preference that's it. Some people love it the way it is. Some people love it but just want a little more. rooting gives them that extra access to make it better. If you get me.

I rooted because i wanted to be able to install a custom kernel to be able to overclock to have the best gaming performance on the tablet. My original reason for getting it was to play Order & Chaos big screen.
Also the custom roms are almost always faster and take up less memory.

What do you have it clocked at?
Also HTC sense is such a BLOAT. New roms definitely help with the weight control.
is there a proper fruitcake for at&t atrix 4g 4.5.91 ?
If i install this fruitcake will the "Unlocked" text disappear ? if it will disppear how will i be able to go to recovery ?
If you flash any fruitcake you will be fine. The unlocked text will NOT disappear, even if it does you will still be able to enter recovery.

i wasnt brave enough to wait more than one and a half minuts due to low battery..

Should have charged the battery...............should have let the phone boot up after flashing.............if you have issues now it's your own fault!

sometimes the bootanimation is disabled so the only thing you will see before the4 actual home screen is the Motorola 'M'. depends on roms.
Also applying a fruitcake is safe, sbfs, ehhh not so much anymore. However just because you flashed a zip from recovery doesnt mean its done. It still might need to unpack or set up, so the first boot after applying the mod might be delay a little.
It can take 15 minutes depending on the ROM and what kernel comes with it for a 1st boot after flashing.
Anyone who flashes on low battery and doesn't wait more than 1-1/2 minutes shouldn't be flashing at all!

ok, ok..i dont have any problem except that my phone reboots (from the day i bought it) and someone here told me that a ROM clould fix this...and now i want to go back to stock so i can send the phone to the store for replacement or fix..
I just flashed "phone-bricker" ICS rom on my phone. I went to install the roms update, and when it restarted it froze on the first boot up screen.
I've tried to get to:
download mode
CWM
and normal restart
it always freezes on that screen
is there any way I can un-brick my phone?
Am i being trolled?
any power = not bricked

I just had the same problem with another ICS Rom. I ended up going to recovery and and wipe data/cache.
Pretty sure it's one of the apps that I downloaded since yesterday. Probably Antutu battery saver.
I appreciate all the hard work and sacrifice made by early adopters.
Anything that underclocks your device WILL cause it to crash - this is the case for all I9100 ICS kernels, stock or custom.
It almost surely applies to the I777 leak kernel too, since that build is an older codebase.

I've been using the euphoria ROM for a few months now with no incident. The phone has never given me problems of any sort, well the bad GPS, but that's a known issue.
Anyhow the other night went to bed without charging my phone. In the middle of the night I woke up and realized it was not charging, so I connected the charger and went back to bed. However by that time my phone has fully discharged so I got the battery graphics.
In the morning when I tried to turn the phone on I got the spiral boot icon and then a black screen.
I've tried to get the recovery mode but to no avail. I know the phone is somewhat working because i get the spiral boot animation and the charging graphics but i cannot get the phone to turn on. Did anybody know a fix, any advice will help.
Thanks in advance
=X=
I like your name, X (thats my nickname around here )
Anyways, when you plug it in, does the charging stuff come up? (if yes, how much battery do you suppose its at?)
Have you tried download mode? (take out battery, plug in USB, put battery back in while holding... I think its vol up and down + power, after it says VIBRANT let power go)
I'm not sure if your phone even goes that far.
Likewise I like your nickname.
My battery is close to 100%. I tried the sequence you mentioned with no luck. I get the same behavior, I get the spiral boot graphics and the phone good black. With the cable connected I get the charging battery graphics. The graphics does work properly. When the battery gets to 100% it vibrates too

Just curious, what ROM/kernel were you on?
Also, by the spiral graphics are you talking about the bootanimation?
Are you on Froyo bootloaders or Gingerbread bootloaders?(if you don't know and have never messed with bootloaders its froyo)
I'm running Chimera v2.2. It's an ICS ROM made by team passion. The kernel is 3.1.10
Yes by the spiral I mean the boot animation. You only ever see it from a cold boot.
I don't know what boot loader I'm running.I think team passion is using the same one as Cyanogen. It's that common boot loader with a GUI.

Well the bootloader doesn't really use a GUI. You might be talking about the recovery, the one with "reboot system" and "install zip from sdcard"
What i was referring to was when i was installing the Chimera ROM I hadn't use a GUI app to install the ROM l. I thought the instructions mentioned it was installing a bootloader, but I could have miss read it.
Okay, X, I tried the steps again. I realize I did not follow all of your steps so I repeated them again. This time in tried the three finger salute with the USB plugged in and it worked. I get the recovery menu by choosing reboot it boots up properly.
However when I shutdown and turn on the phone I'm back to square one

Wait.. so when you tried my method your phone actually booted all the way up??
I was planning for you to go to Download mode and ODIN, but err..
Next time you go to recovery
*make sure you have a ROM in your sd card that is safe to flash, even if its chimera*
wipe data/factory reset
mount/storage > format system
flash your ROM in sd, then reboot
Yeah I wasn't expecting it to work. But now that that worked I am a bit nervous about installing a ROM incase the bootloader is corrupted.

:l, pretty sure you're confused, and the bootloader is not corrupted. If bootloader was corrupted, your phone would never start without a JTAG again.
Anyways, get into recovery, and flash chimera or any other safe rom you have, and see if it boots up. I think it may be something with Chimera.

Just a suggestion, don't re-install Chimera... Or at the very least, don't use it as a daily driver. I stand by that for two reasons. For one, Chimera may have been the reason you got into this problem in the first place. The second reason being... Well... Er... Chimera v2.2 isn't the best ROM out there, and it's kinda dated... I'm sure there's others that would agree. I mean there's plenty of other ICS ROMs available that run much better. Jellybean ROMs have also reached a point of stability, so there's some good Jellybean flavored options to choose from as well. Personally, I'm running ParanoidAndroid (JB) and I'm lovin' it.
Just my two cents... But if you like Chimera, then stick with it. It's definitely a usable ROM.

I'm not dead set on Chimera, it was the best ROM at the time.

Awesome. If you're like me -- a big fan of customization -- then I'm sure you'll love ParanoidAndroid (LINK).
Otherwise there are ten other JB ROMs to choose from, and about seventeen different ICS ROMs to choose from (excluding Chimera v2.2). Links to said ROMs can be found in the "ROM" section of the Vibrant Bible thread (LINK).

No it did not work. I thought all was good. It seemed to work when I performed a soft shutdown. Then I tried a cold boot: shutdown the phone, pulled the battery and on startup the phone would not work.

Awesome thanks for the links. It sounds like paranoid android will for my likes. I'm going to update my phone with that rom.
I'm still having problems with my phone however.
So I've upgraded my phone to the latest ParanoidAndroid but I'm still getting the same problem.
All works fine once it's running but I have to use the USB and three finger boot to get the phone to start, once I'm in the recovery mode selecting her restart launches the OS .
However trying to start the phone from a cold boot does not seem to work...any ideas anyone?

It's probably not bootloader-related, but for what it's worth, froyo bootloaders don't work well with ICS Roms.
Chances are it's just a ROM issue, but if that fails just ODIN to default, re-root, install GB bootloaders, etc. (Basically, start over)
I have run many ICS and JB ROMs without issue running froyo boots. It was mostly GB ROMs that had issue and needs GB boots. I don't suspect that to be the issue however, it won't hurt to try it.
I am Jack's smirking revenge.

First bootup always take time but if you are facing problem on every boot then use apps like quick boot to fix your problem. It has nothing to do with display.

Initial boot always take more time, if u observe that the boot time is more that 5 min. try flashing a custom kernel (Radon preferred).
