I have an HTC Flyer that will not boot past the htc logo. My college roommate paid some guy to root and install ICS on and I guess after he worked on it the tablet started doing this. The Flyer is the best buy wifi version. I was able to get it into fastboot and saw that it is: Revolutionary S-Off, hboot - 6.11.1111, Radio 3809.05.04.10_M. From fastboot I tried to use the boot to recovery function but it just sent me back to the htc logo. I'm not very familiar with the flyer myself but since its friends i thought ask if anyone knew if anything could be done.
There is a thread by globatron for getting to honeycomb with soff. There is a hc Wi-Fi light zip. Follow instructions to flash that via fastboot, then go to recovery and flash jb Rom

Was messing with my Evo View and trying to get updates to work since I kept getting the "error 1233" so I tapped the HTC update check and there was available update I figured it might be what's keeping me from seeing the HC options so tapped it and updated it. The Evo shutdown and rebooted without any issue then when back to updates and didn't want to work so I rebooted and now I'm stuck on the soft brick with a hboot of 6.13.1002 and I can't do anything from there.
ANY HELP PLZ.
Needs moar details before anyone can help you. Are you s-off'ed?
What update were you on before updating?
It's s-off was on the 1.13 hboot and still running the GB firmware, I was trying to use the hboot that was provided for HC but fastboot was giving me an error saying it couldnt read it or something.
I used the update under the HTC firmware since all the others were giving me error codes 1233.
If you're still S-OFF (Poor move doing OTA updates with s-off and root) Boot into the the bootloader (power+volume down), select recovery, boot into recovery and fix yourself.

How do I run it from fast-boot?
yeah, put the view in fastboot mode, then just run the exe.
Since I can't post in threads in the development forum yet I thought this may be the best place to try to get help. So here goes.
I downgraded my Flyer to GB via globatrons No HTC Unlock method successfully. I then ran revolutionary successfully to get S-Off and ignored the CWM install like noted in the S-Off HC thread. I then ran through the S-Off HC upgrade with the custom rom with the intent of flashing gumby63's Desensified rom. I flashed the custom RUU and it failed with the error 90 the first time and then the second time it worked like noted. when I rebooted it got stuck in a bootloop. I can access recovery and I currently have it turned off.
What would be the next step?
I have the desensified rom on the sd card already.
If it is of any importance the hboot is: 6.11.1111

Hi,
i have some problems with my HCT Flyer (O2 branded german version):
The OTA update to HC failed, so I was only able to get into the fastboot mode any more and the device was relocked (** Security warning ** ** relocked **).
I was able to unlock (via HTC unlock code) and flash the CWM recovery and flash the Leedroid GB ROM onto it, but got a boot-loop (several fails, missing files, and so on seen via ddms). I think the main problem is the radio and HBOOT-version (11.1.0006).
So I tried to flash the Leedroid HC ROM and this one finally boots correctly, but has several Problems (no WLAN, no 3G, no working HW buttons, and so on).
Also I think the radio and hboot versions are still the main problems.
As I'm still S-ON, I'm not able to flash the older radio and hboot files.
The (correct) RUU also don't work properly (Failure 150).
The actual situation:
*** UNLOCKED ***
FLYER PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-1.11.0006
MICROP-0950
RADIO-3821.08.00.26_M
eMMC-boot
Aug 29 2011, 13:32:02
So I have a somehow working Leedoid HC on it, I'm able to boot android, connecting via ADB, getting into fastboot and CWM-recovery.
But I'm stuck on getting S-OFF to flash radio/hboot from the RUU.
Any idea how I can do that?
Main aim is getting a working GB, nevertheless if its the stock-rom or a custom rom like Leedroid.
Would be deeply grateful for any assistance in solving that problem.
Kind regards.
In addition I also tryed setting up a goldcard, but had no success with that.
Any other ways known to get it S-OFF?
Oder any other ways to downgrade radio and hboot to the stock-version?
Would be glad if somebody could give me a hint.
Thanks in advance.
to get lee droid hc to boot copy the boot.img from the rom zip. then fastboot flash the boot img and then flash the rom. should work.
to get s off I think you would need to downgrade to gingerbread then use globatrons method to gain hc s off.

Leedroid HC does boot without problems, but has several problems (no HW buttons, no WLAN, no 3G, ...). Furthermore I can't switch it off. All the time I shut it down, it rebootes and is running several seconds later. Shutting down is only possibel via the CWM recovery.

Downgrading to gingerbread would be nice, but I didn't manage to do so.
I even would prefer staying on gingerbread...
Leedroid GB does not boot (bootloop, several files missing, several fails in DDMS).
And running the RUU leads to Failure 150. I think the newer radio/hboot are the source of all the failures.
But for replacing the hboot/radio by a older one I need to gain s-off ....

Ok, I did so, but wasnt able to boot Leedroid anymore after that. Just got the white screen with green "htc" on it.
But how can it be, that the boot.img is required if the lee ROM comes with an own kernel?
Also flashing the kernel that comes with the lee ROM wasnt possible anymore after fastboot flash the boot_signed.img. But via NANDBACKUP I was able to restore it.
So any further idea to get Leedroid GB running?
Or gain S-OFF with my setting?
I may be confused as to you're actual current state. Are you running honeycomb or gingerbread? If honeycomb you can not flash gingerbread roms, and vice versa

That might be the main part of the Problem.
I really cant tell you, I think I'm somewhere in between.
I was running stock gingerbread, s-on and locked - just out of the box.
Then an OTA update to honeycomb was started and failed and left the device (soft-)bricked. Only flashboot was accessible any more. Android didn't boot, turning on automaticly leads to flashboot, starting recovery/factory reset just leads to a reboot into flashboot.
In this state I was able to unlock (via HTC dev utility) and flash CWM recovery to be able to flash zip files. But I was not able to flash hboot, radio, system and so on.
I first tried Leedroid GB wich leads to a bootloop.
Then I flashed Leedroid HC, wich boots, but is not working propperly. (no WLAN, no 3G, no HW-buttons, and so on).
So I think there are incompatible radio and/or hboot on it as the OTA update failed somewhere in the middle.
But as I'm still S-ON, I cant flash all parts of the RUU (GB).
And just running RUU also don't work, as the radio/hboot seem to be newer then the version of the RUU.
And also the HowTo of globatron with "misc_version_universal" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307759) did not work. (RUU shows the changed version number, but fails nevertheless).

hey, I am a noob, have my flayer exactly like ur status u mentioned b4 HB 1.11.0006
it is stuck on that rom, HC, which have no Phone ability also.
Is it possible that you give me step by step guidance. i am worried if I attempt doing what u said above vaguely I would brick it. actually a friend of mine had the exact situation and got it bricked and had to change the main board.
Hi,
I was using desensified rom but wanted to roll back to gingerbread
So I have followed the thread "downgrade to GB" by downloading and isntalling the RUU (while tablet running). Process went well but at restart the tablet hold on white screen with green htc logo
Tried several times to re-run the RUU in fastboot mode but I dont have enough battery. I have seen post saying that my hboot and recovery are incompatible and so the battery cannot charge.
When I have going into recovery, I saw (quickly) messages saying that PG41DIAG or PG41IMG.zip or nbh are missing or wrong file.
I tried to flash boot.img, recovery.img (the one from desensified), cwm.img... but nothing seems to happen on the tablet and back with revolutionary recovery.
When I select "£recovery" from revolutionary menu the tablet goes back to white screen with gree logo so I cannot flash anything from teh SD card.
On the recovery screen I have:
FLYER PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT 6.11.1111
MICROP 0850
Radio 3809.05.0401.04 (Although I used the RUU 405 based on my CID, still showing 405 when I am doing getvar CID but I am not sure that this 401 is linked to CID)
Can anybody help me? I guess I need to install a proper hboot / recovery in order to flash for SDcard or through fastboot.
Thanks
Sebastien

Thaks, it is the 3G.
After my post, I have succeeded to have the flyer charging (orange light is turn on). i will wait over night and then action tomorrow.
However I am interested to know what is the best way to do it based on what I have today hboot / recovery / S-off.
Thanks for any recommendation.

My 16gb HTC Flyer was running the OTA HC load and I decided to upgrade to a Jelly Bean ROM. After loading CWM (Flyer_CWM-Based_Recovery_6.0.1.1_HC.zip) recovery successfully, I loaded the NexusFlyer v1.2 ROM on the SD card and rebooted into CWM and did wipe data/factory partition and wiped the cache. Then I installed the new ROM and it rebooted.... to a never ending black screen. I had to load cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img just for the power off option, so I could shut it off.
Here is info on my Flyer:
HBOOT 1.11.0011
Radio 3822.10.00.07-M
Can anyone point me toward my best bet to get my flyer back up and running? Everything I'm finding is asking for specific version of HBOOT like 1.11.0003 for revolutionary load. At this point, I'd be happy just getting Honeycomb back, but ICS/JB would be better obviously.
Any help would be appreciated!
Sounds like you are not s off. Run your hc ruu of flash a hc ROM like virtuous that does not use a custom kernel

You are correct, it is still S-ON. I assumed (wrongly...) that I wouldn't need it, as I've burned several ROMs on my Evo 3D with S-ON. Looking as downgrading to GB to get 1.11.0003, so I can use revolutionary to get S-OFF.
Thank you!
Well, so far, i'm failing...
I followed the steps at: Downgrade from HC beta leaks or official HC OTA to Gingerbread. and the RUU install fails saying "Unknown error: 155" I'm back into my boot loader, but otherwise it doesn't look like I can update via the RUU that I chose (RUU_Flyer_BrightstarUS_WWE_1.36.1540.32_R_Radio_20.3501.30.089BU_3809.05.04.10_M_release_191425_signed.exe).
Can I install any rom.zip files with S-ON or can I only update via RUU?
Thanks for any advice!
Other than update via RUU to an older HBOOT (older than 1.11.0011)... can I S-OFF any other ways (other than Revolutionary)?
Got past the part above by relocking HTC bootloader and the RUU loaded just fine. Then I ran revolutionary and it seemed to install fine with S-OFF. Afterwards, I installed CWM 4 and tried to burn nexusflyer v1.2 again only to get stuck at the white HTC screen on boot. I did find some stuff online about pushing boot.img from nexus flyer directly through fastboot, so I went ahead with that. No change...
I reran the RUU and am now back on a stock GB rom and am stuck with a seemingly non-upgradeable tablet.
any ideas why I'd get stuck at the white HTC screen after installing rom via CWM?

To flash any HC, ICS or JB custom ROMs, you need to be on the HC hboot.
To flash any GB custom ROM, you need to be on the GB hboot.
Also, if you are S-On, you need to extract boot.img from the ROM file, then flash it via fastboot. But sounds like you are S-Off now.
Ok, I was under the impression that if I used the revolutionary utility to gain S-OFF (while also replacing the OEM HBOOT) that I'd be able to flash any rom.
Here is what I've done so far:
1. started with OEM HC with 1.11.0011 hboot
2. unlocked bootloader using HTCDevs.com
3. Used GB RUU to downgrade to 1.11.0000, to flash revolutionary.
4. Ran revolutionary, which replaced hboot with 6.10.1002 and loaded CWM 4.
So, understanding that I need to be using a HC rom to get to Jelly bean, will this replace my hboot or do I need to be S-ON again? I'm not really sure where to go from here, as I've tried flashing a HC rom and keep going back to a black screen. I thought I needed to be at S-OFF to get it to work, but have I headed down the wrong path?
I will try the post you suggested, mcord11758 and will report back.
I appreciate all the help.
