I have managed to downgrade and run revolutionary to achieve a off using the htc unlock method and am halfway through upgrading to hc from HB retaining S-OFF what I was wondering is what do I have to do to upgrade to Jb can I just use dexters Jb rom and flash it using cwm?
It says I need to flash boot image separately? Does that mean I need to remove these from the zip before flashing and then flash them through the boot loader? As I have a wifi flyer is there anything else I have to do
Another question is I have wifi flyer so how can I remove phone ui?
Final question if I want to love to a different Rom what steps would I need to take? Sorry If I'm asking silly questions but this device is far more fiddley for installing custom than my previous device ( htc legend) also any suggestions of roms would be appreciated
Thanks XD

Hello all,
I am new to Rooting, Unlocking bootloaders n all that.
My question is simple. Hope somebody can help me out.
Is it enough to Unlock the bootloader on my HTC Thunderbolt to install a new ROM ?(Now that HTC has released bootloader unlocking from HTCDev.com for the Thunderbolt)
I want to install HTC Sense 3.5 on the phone without rooting the phone.
Is this possible ?
If so, can someone provide me a link to downloading the HTC Sense 3.5 ROM. I tries searching and I am not quite sure how to get the correct ROM which will work well. Also, I would like to have the HTC Sense 3.5 as clean as possible.
Is there any specific ROM that would give me a very clean experience ?
Can xda members also help me out on Ste-by-Step instructions to installing the new Sense 3.5 ROM to my phone ?
Any help is much appreciated !
Thanks in advance !
No you need root in order to flash a custom rom, everything you need to do so is in the stickies in the development stickies.
Well, you don't need root to flash a custom ROM, but most likely the custom ROM will have root regardless. To flash, you just need a custom recovery installed.

Hi!
I have rooted flyer with HC leedroid soft : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406851
I can't instal any GB roms, I try Stock rom , flyhigh rom 2.3.4 and WestfireROM_Flyer
Instaling perfectly but after reboot brick on first white screen with green sign HTC.
On custom roms I can go do recovery and install HC leedroid rom, but after instalation stock rom I can't go to recovery menu only install via flastboot.
Please give me any solution, I try to do this second day :/
US HTC FLYER 16gb wifi only
Its becouse u have HC hboot wich is not compatibile with GB; u need to fully downgrade to GB hboot only then flash GB roms.
As mentioned, you need to downgrade to GB if you want to flash GB ROMs. Hboot for GB is different from HC.
Downgrade instructions can be found in the Development subforum.
Thanks for help but can you give me a link to change this hboot? I am beginner in this things and i don't wanna make any mistake

I used the "beginner procedure" here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
Keep in mind, if you upgrade to the HC hboot, you will have to downgrade back to the GB hboot if you want to install GB based ROMs. You should be able to find the downgrade guide in Development if you search for "globatron".
Hello to everyone, i apoligize for my english and if the question was already asked but i have a little problem.
I had a lot of phones even an HTC ONE X that got stolen :crying: , on the HOX i could install Jelly Bean Rom's and all the other Rom's without any big problem if we haven't had S-OFF, the ROM was flashed with recovery then we would flash the Kernel and modules if there was any.
I know that the EVO 3D is not the HOX but the problem is i can't have S-OFF, i have no cid, tried all the solution's even with the HEX editor(xvi32) but the file is full with zero's.I don't know what to do, there are only some ROM's that work with S-ON, like NonSense,mwakious3Drom and CoolSense i find them very sluggish compared to a non bloatware android Rom, i love CyanogenMod 9 bootscreen in 3D but that is all i see because i have always bootloop.
I've tried Flash Gui with no success, tried S-off and destroyed a sd-card .
My little question is:there isn't an analog way like the HOX flashing to flash the most modded roms?
Like flash with recovery the ROM then flash the kernel with [fastboot flash boot boot.img] and if there is modules then flash those throughthe recovery.
Please someone could tell me so i know that i can't put an CyanogenMod Rom without S-OFF and stop trying.
Hello all,
I am fairly new to this whole rooting business so a few questions:
1) been doing some reading and found out that the best way to root htc devices and especially my htc flyer is using the s'off method. Please correct me if i am wrong. Also, is there a simple guide I can follow to root my flyer?
2) I am currently running the default android version 3.2.1 and would like to upgrade to the latest jelly bean 4.1 or 4.2. Is there a clean non bloated ROM out there that I can use? The best one i've come across is the [ROM][10-feb-13][PEN/WIFI][JellyBean/4.1.1] DextersJB.
3) The htc flyer wifi version is a tablet only device (no phone calls possible) wit it also remain that way after install a custom rom?
Thanks in advance!

1) What hboot version? If your hboot version is supported, you can S-off using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
If you are hboot 1.11.0011 (seems common on here lately) then you might check this out (can't personally vouch for it): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070140
Otherwise, you will have to settle for S-on and bootloader unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881748
That's correct that S-off is better. With S-on and bootloader unlock, you have to flash boot.img (kernel) separately with fastboot every time you flash a custom ROM.
2) I personally haven't used any of the ICS and JB custom ROMs, as all of them have at least some hardware elements that don't completely work. But Dexters has always looked pretty good. I think NexusFlyer is the only other JB custom ROM.
3) Your device doesn't have the hardware to work on a cell network, so it won't be able to make cell phone calls, no matter what you do to it on the software side. Of course, you can use internet calling service like Skype over WiFi networks. But that is probably not what you are talking about.
I just unlocked my bootloader, rooted and flashed 4ext recovery. i want to install a custom rom but i have no idea on what one i should do. What would be the best(most stable) rom for this device. In bootloader i am seeing UNLOCKED hboot-1.58.000 S-ON. I kinda like the Cyanogenmod, however i read in these forums if i install 12.1 i will not have a camera and i need the camera. Any advice on what rom i should use?
Guess i am going to have to do the wire trick and get s-off to change hboot version to install any of the compatible roms?
