Noobs guide to installing a custom Rom on htc flyer - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

Hi ive instaled roms on my xperia play before and on a Samsung galaxy player, but now I want to do so on a htc flyer but all procedures are different so can someone tell me how to/point me to a guide for: the complete procedure of how I would install a custom Rom from unlocking bootloader to flashing the Rom in cwm?

As long as its on Gingerbread, and its one of the supported Hboots, just follow this guide to get S-Off and root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
Its full S-Off, so no need to unlock the bootloader.
Basically:
Read read read
Get the needed files.
S-Off using the Revolutionary tool
Install CWM
Flash Superuser to get root
Then flashing a ROM is no different from CWM on any other device. Just put the ROM on your SD, go into recovery, and mash the volume rocker and power button to make the selections.
Only hitch is that hboot for Honeycomb is different from Gingerbread. So you can flash any GB based ROMs. But if you want to flash any HC, ICS, or JB ROMs, you need to upgrade to the HC hboot. You can do this by following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
Then if you ever want to go back to GB ROMs, you have to downgrade the hboot.

Hello,
I flashed my HTC Flyer today but one thing does not work very nice. When I restart the device I always need to get into fastboot again and use this command: fastboot boot boot.img
What is the problem? Do I have to copy this boot.img onto the Flyer device?

Wrong command. The correct one is:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Use that, and you should be good to go. Easy peasy.

[Q] Is it possible to flash a kernel from fastboot?

I'm trying to install bcblend on my evo, but I'm dealing with the 1.50 hboot, so even though my phone is rooted (currently running Eternity 1.2.2), evidently I can't flash a kernel from recovery. Can I do it from fastboot? If so, what would the command be? I can't quite suss it out myself...my windows command line skills are weak.

Unfortunately, this method did not work for me.
You need s-off to flash radios and also kernels - correct me if iam wrong.

need either s-off or htc unlock method to flash kernels.
if using fastboot to boot the recovery and then flashing kernels from there doesnt work, the only other options i've seen for htc unlocked s-on devices would be to fastboot flash the kernel .img .. downside is you'll have to manually load the modules.
from all the posts, seems fastboot boot recovery and loading a kernel from that fastboot boot'd recovery should work.
keep in mind, you'll always have to fastboot boot recovery.img while using htc's unlock method if you want to flash kernels or ROMs which contain kernels. this is due to a limitation in htc's unlock method not allowing the boot (kernel) partition to be flashed from standard recovery mode.

Exactly...fastboot into recovery and you can flash whatever you like....works like a charm.
The method posted in post #2 was the method I had originally used - I did the HTC unlock, then followed the directions. I was able to flash a ROM, which is great - the ROM I'm using is snappier than stock, and the battery life is significantly better, but I was hoping to be able to flash custom kernels as well. If I can't, it's not the biggest deal in the world (pretty much the definition of 1st world problems), but it's frustrating. Step by step, I had done exactly what that said to do.
Ah well...not to be with this phone, unless someone figures out another way to get around the 1.50 hboot. Thanks, guys.
+1 for fastboot. Launch your recovery via fastboot and flash whatever kernel you want.

How do I install a custom rom via the boot.img method as unlocked with HTCDEV

How do I install a custom rom via the boot.img method as unlocked with HTCDEV method?
I've looked everywhere to try & find this answer myself but can't find a complete 'how to' guide on doing it? I have the HTC Flyer 16GB Wifi w HC if thats any help & i'm not rooted as the HBoot is not yet supported using the Revolutionary way???
Any help would be very well received.
Just for future reference, this should go in the Q&A section. But, have you ever used adb or fastboot? You have to flash the boot.img using fastboot.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Whoops, sorry just realised there is a Q&A Section.
I have used adb & fastboot & have a Desire HD & have installed customs roms on that & I have been trying to install a custom one of my Flyer but can't seem to even thou I am unlocked via the HTCDEV method.
I have downloaded a custom rom in zip format, so if I extract the files to a folder on my PC, where adb etc are, & then do the boot.img from there will this then install the custom rom onto my flyer??
Thanksyou for answering.
What you need to do is download your ROM and place it on your sdcard. Flash it like you would any other ROM. Now type in 'adb reboot bootloader' and make sure your tablet is in fastboot mode. Now take the boot.img of the ROM and place it in the same directory that you have fastboot. For me that would be: c:/android-sdk-windows/tools
Now, making sure your tablet is in fastboot mode and that you cd'd to the directory for fastboot, type in: fastboot flash boot boot.img
Now just reboot and you should be running a custom ROM

Really, I don't understand why you'd go through all the hassle of using the unlock method. It's not that much extra to S-OFF and have installs work directly form recovery.

Agree also. HTC Unlock looks like a hassle all around, and warranty is officially voided.
Thankyou all for your replies & i'll try it out & see how I get on.
Had to use the HTCDEV unlock as my Hboot version is not currently supported by all other unlock methods as it 1.11.0011.
Thanks again
Unlock the bootloader has nothing to do with your hboot version, just try it.
s-off doesn't work with your 1.11.0011
so you just need
unlock-------flash cwm recovery for 3.2------flash a custom rom------fastboot flash boot boot.img(the boot.img is unzipped from this custom rom)----do not forget to wipe

Utter nonsense. The bootloader version does matter for unlock. And it is possible to get S-OFF even if you have this hboot, it's not a direct S-OFF but it is possible and relatively easy to do.

but i got Wifi Error, so i read the Forum and looking for the new suggestions then I saw that I must do a "fastboot flash boot boot.img" after that my Flyer didnt boot anymore. But still I can go to HBoot and Recovery.
I dont know, if I do something wrong here.
My Flyer: S-ON, Hboot 1.11.0011

Can someone make a new rooting guide?

Now that the HTCDev allows the unlocked bootloader, and stuff at their website, is there a better (read:easier, quicker) method of installing CyanogenMod? I had rooted my phone a long time back but I had issues and had gone back to Stock ROM for a long time. Now, I feel the need to go back to Custom ROMS.
Can someone tell me if the Google Market works well on CM7? That's all I care for, really.
Here is a guide I had posted a while back when I was an enthusiast. Could someone go through it and modify it in accordance to the new method? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823625
Thank you, everyone!
Edit:- Now done Hboot 1.02 and unlocked boot loader, can't use clockwork mod update.zip :-(
I haven't yet done the hboot update to 1.02, but my understanding is that once you've done it, you can use clockwork mod to flash custom rom, the bootloader is already unlocked so shouldn't need rooting again.

CM7 for the Legend is very mature.
Everything I use, including the Market, works fine.
Does the Wifi Access Point work on CM7 ? I've read on several custom roms it doesn't because of driver issues.

tethering works fine on a CM 7.1.0 device here ;-)
After I unlock my Legend with HTCDev,
I used the wildfire path on unrevoked.com
unrevoked installed clockwork mod and everything, so I just needed to put the cyanogenmod zip on my sd card and install from recovery.
very easy
I did pretty much the same thing as ranger4740. I used HTCSuperTool v3 to gain root but had problems flashing CWM Recovery from the stock recovery. So I did a bit of researching and ended up having to put my phone into fastboot and use adb to push the recovery image onto my Legend and flash it. After that I've had no problems with my rooted Legend Once I'm able to post links (because I'm still pretty new here) I hope to write a full updated root guide
The unrevoked method is seriously the easiest one and I've tried heaps of methods
Took me a half hour and I was playing with cyanogen 7.
I can put up some instructions if u like, but it would have to wait until I get back to the laptop, and honestly, its incredibly straight forward.

Check your hboot. If your hboot is less than 1.00 than unrevoke is the fastest way. Dont bother to bootloader unlock phone via htcdev. Since unrevoke also flash a cwm recovery. You can flash any rom directly from there.
But else follow the htc dev guide to unlock bootloader. Once your bootloader got unlocked. Use fastboot to flash your recovery to cwm. With this cwm recovery you can flash cm7 directly.
Before htcdev gave bootloader unlock for our legend, The only reason i found why we of thouse with hboot 1.00 and above need to downgrade to eclare is to also downgrade stock recovery to e2 from e3 which came during froyo. Because our cwn fakeflash update.zip only able to load from e2. Thus from eclare you can flash cm7.
The guides are there. Its already there. Many of us has use it successfully.

New to flyer need answer please

Just got my flyer and It's unlocked thru the htcdev.com method. I have it rooted and have cwm on it.
I'm new to htc devices, have many other devices that I've rooted and flashed roms on.
With the flyer do I have to be s-off to flash a custom rom?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

It is not a yes no question. S off is easier to flash roms but you can flash roms with HTC dev unlock. If I were you I would read threads in development by globatron, revert to gb, then flash s off hc
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium
What I've read about HTC unlock on my phone (Desire Z), is that with the unlocked bootloader you can still flash a custom ROM, but you need to use fastboot to do it. Also, it will not let you flash a custom recovery, except with fastboot.
Not sure if its the same case with the Flyer, but I'm guessing it is.
Can you actually get into CWM recovery? Did you use fastboot to flash CWM? If you didn't, it might not have actually worked, even if it told you it did. A guy over in the Flyer forums had this happen, where it said it flashed CWM successfully. But when he tried to get into recover, it just gave him the red exclamation mark.
All in all, HTC Unlock has been called a crap method by people who know more than me. You're better off getting true S-Off using Revolutionary (need to downgrade to GB if you are on HC). You don't explicitly blow your warranty, and you can flash whatever you want without fastboot.

Return to Stock OTA

I am selling one of my Rezounds I need to return it to mostly stock.
Before installing the latest Infection rom I was on the current OTA rom. Basically I think all I need to do is reflash the stock recovery image and the current OTA rom and if needed go back to locked. Problem is, I don't have a copy of the recovery.img from the current OTA rom. Can anybody link me to it. Thanks

Here is a post with the full OTApkg.zip for 4.05.605.14:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40757466&postcount=19
If you extract the firmware.zip, there is the recovery.img which you can either put into a custom ph98img.zip and run in hboot or flash it from your computer using adb stuff. I recently had to restore my Rez back to stock as it is getting returned to Verizon for a replacement. I used the ph98img route to reinstall recovery after unrooting. I also then had to S-on the phone so I had to make sure it was bone stock so the S-on didn't brick it.
ETA: I'm not sure if that full OTApkg.zip will be enough to get you back to stock but what I had done in the past was to flash this stock rooted rom with Amonra 3.16 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40941755&postcount=1 ( I was already on 4.05.605.14), do the full unroot option using the supersu app that was already there, and then flash the stock recovery and I was back to fully stock.

Thanks... I am S-ON but that should really be all I need... I don't really need to go 100% pure stock, but if I can get it close that will work. Replacing the recovery image and leaving it S-ON, then flash the Stock OTA Rooted ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260154 and I think I will be close enough to sell it. If someone wants it with a custom ROM I can just leave TWRP and Infection, or whatever ROM they want, but I just need a quick option to return to "stock" if the buyer wants.

The beauty of being unlocked is it doesn't matter... All I need to do is go into fastboot and use "fastboot boot recovery.img" for TWRP and I can flash anything, irregardless of what the installed recovery allows. But thanks for the warning, this is probably what I would do anyway.
Doh!, I completely forgot about that way... Yup, that would work as well
I'm trying to give this phone to my buddy. Haven't used it since I got the S4, and he is still using a Dinc. I tried what was listed here, but it's only made things worse. I was on Stock 4.03.605 (leaked Global RUU) unlocked, rooted, s-on. I tried updating the firmware with the OTAzip. I made the PH98IMG.zip, and ran it through the bootloader. It only updated Hboot from 2.7 to 2.8. It did NOT give me 4.05.605 like I was looking for. I tried to run the Global Stock rom but got stuck in a white HTC screen. The only thing I can make work right now is a viperrom, but wifi will not turn on. I was hoping to give this to him as close to stock, but without wifi, it's not going to be very useful.
Currently I have it locked s-on with stock recovery, but I can unlock and put amon ra back on it. I use a mac so commands are a bit different for me, but I know the basics and what to on the mac (mostly). Any help would be appreciated. I tried to run the leaked global RUU again to reset it, but because the Hboot updated, it won't run it. I can't find an RUU for 4.05.605

My circumstance was very specific, this thread was not really intended to be a guide to take any version of software to another, I already had the firmware (HBoot & radios) for 4.5.605.14, just needed a few pieces to get back to "stockish"... There are other ways to return to stock for different software versions and this thread doesn't address any of those.
The OTApkg.zip is only for going from 3.14.605.13 to 4.5.605.14, no other combinations of versions will work properly. I am surprised that HBoot updated... what radios are you on now? If the radios updated then you might be OK, you can just unlock, then fastboot boot recovery.img of TWRP and flash in the stock/rooted 4.5.605.14 ROM (NOT an RUU, but just the ROM), otherwise you could be in a situation where you need to S-OFF and flash radios and tweak from there. If your HBoot updated then the leaked RUU won't work either, you could be in a tight spot.
BTW, the reason Viper won't work is you likely have a kernel mismatch, to install a ROM on an S-ON Rezound you need to flash the boot.img separately, that is where the kernel is, but that also requires you to be unlocked by HTCdev.

If you wish..
Actually installing a custom recovery is not required as long as you can fastboot boot the recovery image.
Did you want to return to mostly stock, or did you want to run a custom ROM like Infection Or something else?

I tried this earlier, but I get the white HTC screen lockup. When you say extract boot.img, you mean unzip the download, pull out the boot.img and put it in my android folder to fastboot flash correct? The command I use is ./fastboot flash boot boot.img. It appears everything works, but it never boots. Just gets stuck in the white screen.
I'm downloading it now, should be about 14 more minutes. I will try it all again, and see what happens. Fingers crossed. let me know if my commands are wrong or I'm missing anything. the ./ is needed for mac.
If you load TWRP via Fastboot boot it will flash boot.img for you, if you load if from hboot you have to flash manually.
Before flashing ROM, download and flash the CleanWipe x5 script found in a thread on the development forum.

That works, just requires extra steps. I don't flash recovery anymore, you can go into fastboot on the phone, then execute fastboot boot recovery.img from PC, this gives an unlocked HTC phone temporary S-OFF saving steps of flashing boot.img seperately and avoiding the dreaded Tampered flag (if it hasn't been set).
Lots of ways to skin a cat I guess.

I have the tampered flag. But I don't care about that. I'm long past warranty anyway. But when I use the command ./fastboot boot recovery.img it says cannot load "recovery.img"

You need to extract the recovery.img file from the TWRP zip and put it in the fastboot directory.
