Hiya everyone
okay, so i had my flyer on honeycomb, no problem booted up fine.
Then i unlocked the boot loader and rooted it.... once again had no problems booting up and operating.
So then i decideed to put dexters jellybean cfw on my flyer.
I downloaded the ROM and put it on my sd-card, went into recovery with rom manager, did a factory reset, cleared the cache and then went ahead and installed the rom from sc card.
It guided me through the installation, installed and it said it was complete; i went ahead and rebooted.....the htc logo appeared for a few seconds like it normally does (doesn't say quietly brilliant) and then the screen goes black although the back-light is on (no boot animation, like it said on dexters forum) but it doesnt do anything else.... it stays on the black screen, i left if for 2 hours and still nothing; stayed on the black, backlit screen???
so i re-installed it wiping all data etc etc.
and still nothing.
So i would like to put it back to honeycomb (baring in mind i cant actually get onto the device)
can anyone tell me how to do so?
any help would be appreciated
Cheers
Bradley
Since you are bootloader unlocked with S-On, you need to flash the boot.img (kernel) separately in fastboot.
- With the ROM zip file on your PC, open the zip (with WinZip or similar). You will see a file in the parent directory named "boot.img" (no quotes). Extract this file.
- Put the boot.img file into the same folder as fastboot.exe (which you should already have if you unlocked the bootloader).
- Connect the Flyer to your PC using USB. Reboot Flyer into bootloader, than select "fastboot" on the Flyer.
- Open cmd prompt on your PC, change directory to where fastboot.exe is.
- Enter the following command into command prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
- Let the boot.img flash finish. Reboot the phone, and you should be good to go.
You'll have to do this when flashing any custom ROM.
Sorry for an extremely late reply, but thank you so much, it worked

You need to upgrade to the HC hboot first, using this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
GB custom ROMs = need GB hboot
HC, ICS, or JB custom ROMs = need HC hboot.

Okay about a month ago I root my gf evo 3d , she has hboot 1.5 so I followed the steps on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1239821.
Everything has been working fine up until about a week ago , her phone started running hot and the battery would drain really quick with barely any usage. So my plan was to do a factory restart and full wipe and reinstall the rom fresh but when I tried to get into recovery the phone just shuts off , then goes to the boot screen then after the boot screen the phone just restarts itself. I even tried to do a factory reset from the phones menu options and the same things happens. The ways I tried getting into recovery are by using the shutdown menu options (hold power , reboot , recovery) , I've also tried rom manager and last I tried getting to recovery from bootloader and nothing seems to work.
I am completely lost PLEASE! HELP!

You should reflash your recovery to TWRP using fastboot. Then boot into recovery using fastboot. From there you should be able to do a complete wipe and flash a ROM. It is outlined in the thread you linked OP and second post. Feel free to come into the d3rp q+a thread in my sig if you need more help.
It worked thanks you

As a heads up to some of the inner workings.
All the methods you listed are correct methods of booting into the recovery. ROM Manager selecting boot recovery, booting into the bootloader and selecting recovery and also adb shell, reboot recovery.
The boot order goes: bootloader -> kernel -> recovery. Once you see the HTC screen or whatever custom splash screen is loaded, you know the device is now booting the kernel. At this point, if the device hangs on the splash screen or reboots again to the splash screen, something is wrong with the kernel "recovery" itself.
If you get this rebooting to splash screen or hanging on splash screen two or three times in a row, that should be sufficient to know, you have correctly booted the device into recovery mode and the next step is to reflash the recovery, essentially reloading it.
We can speculate on how/why the recovery became corrupt on your device, but in the end, these things sometimes just happen to no intentional fault of the user.
Hopefully this doesn't happen again, but if it does, hopefully this extra information will help prevent a bit of frustration the next time around!

So you mean, stuck at the splash screen(HTC with white screen) and reboot again and again is because of the recovery destroyed? My phone stuck at the splash screen for about 10 seconds and then reboot again and again. I have tried to flash many recovery images, includeing twrp 1.0.3, twrp 1.1.1, cwm-1.0.4, cwm-1.0.5, cwm-5.0.2, all failed to boot up into recovery:-(
Thanks in advance!

Remove your battery and replace it into tray after few minutes, then hold Power + Volume down buttons together to going to green boot screen, choose Recovery. It worked for me

Every time i do that it seems like recovery is starting but after 2 secs it turns off and trys to boot but theres no rom or the rom is corrupt, thats why i tought maybe re flashing the 4ext recovery might allow me to flash a new rom. is there any way to flash 4ext or cwd from the hboot?
So here goes.
i followed all the instructions in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268963) , no problem at all. i've rooted other phones so i sorta know the drill.
1.) unlock token - no problem done
2.) i installed the twrp recovery and got it working
3.) i downloaded the .zip of the super user, plugged phone into pc, created a folder called SU on my phone, flashed into recovery, installed the su file.
4.) im a tmob user so i went to install the kernals, i went to (http://faux.androidro.ms/m7/jb43/) but was unsure if i needed both of them or one, i downloaded ( m7-faux123-GE-005u.zip ) , installed that on a folder on my phone, rebooted into recovery, wiped and then flashed that.
however now the phone locks up on my splash screen (green htc letteers white back ground).
also of note:
while in recovery when i reboot system it says " No OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
if i select yes then it says
"Your device does not appear to be rooted. Install SuperSU now? This will root your device."
regardless of whatever i hit weather to install or not install it goes to the HTC splash screen (htc in green, white background) and freezes, at bottom in red it says
"this build is for dev purposes only yadda yadda yadda"
it never advances from this screen.
i cant get my pc to recognize my phone while in recovery to copy over cyanogen 10.1 and gapps so that i can flash those. i am stuck.
anyone got any suggestions?
please delete this thread, accidentally got posted twice.
trying to ruu back to stock
what initially happened was...
i sunshined'd s-off, and installed twrp,, went to reboot and i got red text, recovery did not work as well red exclamation mark,
i finally got recovery and flashed a custom rom, did a logcat and after about 30 minutes it booted up. (no wifi though) GE rom.
anyways i go to reboot and i get bootloop with red text,
figured id just go back to stock and start over so i can at least use my phone.
trying to ruu when i go to fastboot flash zip 0P6BIMG.zip
all is fine, but no action or anything happens on the phone and my slow laptop just freezes and i have to eventually turn it off and turn it back on
i don't have a SD card right now ..
what are my options here
I'm not a n00b, I've rooted every Android device I've ever had, and I have my OnePlus Two running the latest CM14.1 nightlies. But I can not figure out what to do for this poor tablet.
I had downloaded and installed an OTA from Lenovo, but it must have been corrupt because the tablet got stuck in a boot loop. I can boot into recovery, so I tried formatting it and clearing all the caches, then it goes to a screen with a loading bar, which fills completely and just sits there. I've left the thing on all night. Nothing.
Sending it to Lenovo is a no-go because I voided the warranty when I rooted it.
I've also tried reinstalling the stock firmware, but the Intel phone flash tool either get's blocked by Windows 10 (with no way to whitelist it) or fails to flash properly.

What I've tried:
Just plain booting it - screen turns on and doesn't do anything, just black
Rebooting through recovery (power + vol_up) - plays boot animation, goes to a screen with a loading bar like it does after an update, but once the bar fills, a white line appears at the top of the screen and nothing happens
Downloading the official KitKat firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help/lenovo-tab-s8-50f-stock-firmware-rom-t2989791), unarchiving the rar file and rearchiving it into a .zip, putting it on a MicroSD card, putting the card in the tablet, flashing through recovery - can't find the .zip, says SD card is blank
Clearing caches and wiping data - same as when rebooting through recovery
Using the Intel phone flash tool through bootloader (power + vol_down) - tool can't find device
Using the same tool through fastboot (power + vol_up + vol_down) - gets to the sleep 4000 ms step, reboots the device, then the device goes to the same loading screen and the flash tool can't contact it. I think it's trying to boot into the OS to finish the flash, but that's the problem to begin with
I've tried loading the temporary CWM session but that fails
I can't for the life of me figure out what the @bailka011 Unlock Tool is supposed to do or how to use it, plus the download link isn't working.
Can someone please guide my through this? I'm so confused

what did it says the update would do? android 6.0? latest update for this tablet was released 7 months ago... the unlock tool u mentioned unlocks the bootloader, and try to find a win7 pc to do the flashing. some users on a different forum stated that windows 10 will cause problems during flashing
good luck

This update was seven months ago. It did not claim to bring 6.0, just minor fixes.
Thank you for clearing that up, now I just have to figure out how to download and use it xD.
Also I have figured out how to enable the hidden administrator account in Win10 and use that to get around the security warning, still tries to boot partway through flashing. Unless there's some other part of Win10 that's disagreeing with it.
