Hi,
I'm not very savvy with these things but carefully worked through Paul's original upgrade to HC successfully. I now want to downgrade to GB to install globatron's HC, but despite reading everything multiple times and thinking I was clear, something has gone wrong. I had just reached the first stage ready to flash the RUU and I have got a relocked - security warning message. I'd charged my flyer fully before starting this, but now the flyer won't turn off or charge, and it's nearly out of battery. I've searched the forums and tried everything I could find but it's still like this, and now it's started turning itself on and off to the bootloader again and again.
One post said I need the unlock.bin but I don't know what that is or where to find it. If anyone has any ideas I'd really, really appreciate the help.
since posting I've found the unlock.bin and can activate it through adb, but I'm not getting enough time before the flyer powers off again to follow it through - get the padlock screen, can't get further.
So all you did was re lock? If so hold volume down and power till in hboot. Then sellect fastboot then power off and charge your device for a while.
The unlock.bin is what you used originally to unlock bootloader from HTC dev.
Once you are good and charged you can run the ruu to return to gingerbread.

Thank you. Because I've now slightly lost my nerve...to recap, I have downloaded the GB RUU - can I just run this from my desktop, then use revolutionary to get s-off, then follow guide to upgrade to honeycomb as per globatron's instructions?
Yes, get into fastboot and run ruu. If you run into an error that says main version is older you may have a couple additional steps.
What version flyer are you?

Hi there..
First post in the Flyer section. I think I know the answer to this but I'll ask anyway.
I'm not a noob to Android or to flashing ROMs, but this is the first I've tried on the flyer. Tried flashing the HC leak, but I think I screwed myself. I unlocked using Revolutionary, but the guide posted in this forum didn't mention anything about whether to go ahead and download ClockWorkMod at the end of that S-OFF procedure, so I selected no. Now I can't connect to my tab with adb, after flashing the Honeycomb radio and the boot image. Basically I got to step 12.
So now the revolutionary bootloader will come up, but I don't seem to be able to do much else (obviously the OS won't boot at this point). Am I screwed?
Thanks in advance.

This should do it
Actually you should already have the recovery downloaded a installing it is a later step

Yep, that shook it loose. I didn't realize the fastboot command could access the tablet still, adb push would not. Thank you very much!
I am caught in a bootloop and can't figure out what to do. I can get into the fast boot but when I try to restore or install a new rom, it goes back into bootloop showing the htc logo.
The background information is that I had rooted and installed a custom when I got it then didnt use it much for the last 6 months. When I started using it again I wanted to update the rom but was having problems getting it to load so I decided to load the original rom thinking I would start ovter again from scratch. seemed to work I updated via the OTA to two versions of GB but when I installed the HC update it stuck on the HTC screen. I havent been able to get it to do anything since.
Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone?
please I love my flyer
So you tried to install the ota on rooted s off device. That was your issue. You likely have a miss match of hboot and system.
Get into hboot and tell us what it says up top. Version and if it says s off or on

thanks for the reply
I believe all you have to do is follow the steps from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
you already have a s off gingerbread hboot. I would power down and charge your device for a couple of hours before attempting. I think you should be able to fastboot flash the approriate package and or run the appropriate ruu and it will ultimatley replace the gb hboot with a hc hboot and flash the remainder of the system.
your problem as I mentioned is that the s off gb hboot could not be over writen by the ota update and so you are in a sittuation where your hboot does not match your system and radio. Before attempting it you may want to post your sittuation in the thread. Globatron is very active and usually quick to repsond. Just be concise with what you did to get to your state
So I’m new to the forums and I searched around and hadn’t seen anyone post this yet. I have managed to royally screw up my wifes flyer. I bought it used and didn’t pay attention to notice that it was s-off with revolution. She went to install the HC ota update and of course got stuck on the HTC white screen. Next the battery died and we were stuck with the blinking amber light. Here’s where I panicked and used what little knowledge I had of rooting to make things worse.
1) Managed to get it to charge via usb and realized it was rooted. I used this thread to turn s-on thinking I could then use an RUU to install the update and get the tab running.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346200
2) I started installing the wrong RUU by accident which over wrote the hboot then errored out.
3) Tried to install the correct RUU but it keeps erroring because of an incorrect hboot
4) Figured WTH and successfully unlocked the hboot using htcdev instructions.
5) Now I’m stuck with a tablet that still won’t make it passed the boot loader.
I’ve read a lot of the questions here and you guys have seemed to work miracles. I’m hoping you can help me.

Flyer does not show up in ADB devices list
Try to relock your bootloader then flash the ruu
Adb wont see your flyer in fastboot.
To relock hboot type in command prompt on pc while flyer is hooked up in fastboot
Fastboot OEM lock
Then try ruu
Then you may have to run ruu again

Thanks for the quick reply mcord I tried running the RUU twice but I'm still stuck. Relocked the boot loader and I'm including that information below. Also, with the RUU I get "ERROR[140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR" Any thoughts?

Find the developer named Globatron on this forum and beg him for help.
I doubt you'll be able to resolve it yourself.
It's a simple enough fix, send me a skype IM and we'll get you fixed up. ( see my profile for contact details )

Mosdtly the same procedure as downgrade from official OTA / Leak, except that it was a GB hboot rather than a HC one.
unock + recovery + misc_version downgrade + RUU.
Had the OP not already unlocked, it would have been HC RUU + no unlock downgrade procedure.
Could really use help with a bricked Flyer!
Hi all,
I'm stuck with what seems to be a truely bricked flyer.
After doing the HTC unlock a few weeks back on my 3G Flyer I tried to Install cutom recovery from here.
Installation seemed to work and then I tried to go into recovery immediately from the bootloader and that's when my Flyer got stuck on the white screen until battery ran out and now it won't charge and only flashes the red LED when I plug it in.
I have done a lot of research around XDA and other websites the past few days and considering now to try and take the flyer apart to disconnect the battery and see if that helps.
Would really appreciate any advice or help!!
Hi, I had the same problem, Could you please, please give me the method to fix it!
I did all but "misc_version downgrade"
Ihave a very slow internet connection, thus cannot use skype!
Thank you very much!
SOLVED! by creating a Goldcard!
I have searched around and have had no luck in finding the correct ruu. I tried a few different posts but have had no luck in finding a way to find your ruu without fastboot. Any ideas would be helpful!
Hi all,
I was trying to downgrade my HTC Flyer (3G and WiFi EU version, HTC_001) to gingerbread. Everything seemed to work as instructed but I'm now stuck on the white loading screen with the HTC logo on it, and can neither boot or communicate with the device.
For the downgrade I followed the instructions on this thread really carefully:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1428104
I was using the 2.23.405.3 RUU.
To begin with, I'd upgraded to honeycomb by following Paul's guide, that had all been working fine for the last 6 months or so.
I've managed to power down the flyer through the adb fastboot, but that's as far as I can get. I'm not very experienced with this, so if anyone can make some suggestions on steps I could take to get my flyer working again I'd really appreciate it.
Many thanks,
Andii
Get into hboot and tell me your hboot version and if it says unlocked. I think you followed the wrong procedure and likely have hc hboot with gb system or something like that
Hi,
Thank you for replying. My Hboot is 6.11.1111
Does it say unlocked at the top or s off
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using xda premium
I don't know, because it won't turn on now...
when I went through the process of the downgrade, at one point it gave me an instruction which involved locking. The command prompt said it was "already locked".
If it is not charging you will have to try to charge the battery independent of your flyer. There are some threads showing how to do this. Google it. I think you were soff hc and you flashed gb. The ruu can not overwrite the soff hboot so you are left with miss match parts thus no charge
Sent from my HTCEVOV4G using xda premium
Thanks so much for your help. I've found some of those threads; I've gotta say, It looks pretty complex and I think taking it apart is way beyond my capacity to sort. Rather regretting getting into this now, lesson learned! Is there no other option? If I send it off, obviously my warranty is voided, but will they repair it (at my cost of course)?
I'll read the charging threads thoroughly, but am really anxious about the process.
They should be able to repair it easily

Greets,
I've more or less exactly the same problem. I was on some Leedroid Custom HC version. For upgrading to a newer Leedroid Version I was downgrading back to Gingerbread using globatrons Downgrade Thread.
Worked fine until first reboot.
First I used RUU_Flyer_TMO_DE_2.27.111.1 (cause I have a 3G/Wifi T-Mobile branded device)
and later I tried again via this RUU_Flyer_HTC_WWE_2.23.405.3 (Stock version?!)
Still not working.
Here some details:
I still can access this revolutionary Bootloader (Vol Down + Power) and I think fastboot commands are still useable.
Here's what is written there
FLYER PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBoot Version is 6.11.1111
MICROP-0950

You have an idea how to fix it?
Thanks in advance !

Hej,
I used the downgrade procedure from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18508210&postcount=1 starting from "Downgrade".
I didn't create a goldcard, I was "just" using the RUUs mentioned in my last post.
Thx!
Your hboot said s off. To me that means you had s off hc which could not be downgraded using the method you tried. You likely have hc hboot and gb system. Go to easy s off hc thread and look at post 3. Download the correct downgrade package, 3G or wifi, follow instructions. Then flash gb ruu or gb rom

Hey Mcord,
thank you very much for your help, worked fine for me!
Now I just set up the gingerbread base (in S-OFF) on which I can install my ROM, didn't I?
It's written in the post that I can use the base for installing a HC Custom ROM (which was my intention) - can I just drop the Leedroid-ROM-ZIP on my SDcard and install it right away via the Bootloader?
Thanks again!
You have me all confused now. You were on hc with s off, why were you looking to go back to gingerbread? You could of just flashed the rom. Now you are on gb s off. To be able to flash hc roms use light package in op of same thread to get back to hc s off then flash lee rom.
What made you think you had to go back to gingerbread
I read somewhere in here http://www.modaco.com/topic/345950-...g-honeycomb-on-your-flyer-the-complete-guide/ that you need to go back to Gingerbread before installing another HC custom release. I was wondering a bit myself, though.
In Leedroid FAQ also globatron's instructions (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19607802&postcount=1) are linked at the Install FAQ. So I was just working off the instructions. First time flashing to Honeycomb was also more or less like this - I was on some GB version and I had to downgrade to a lesser version number of GB before actually going to Leedroids HC release; so this time I was not questioning myself for a sense behind it ^^
With light package I guess you mean the Instructions Part 2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19607802&postcount=1 this thread?
3 has the light updates meant to be used if you intend on flashing a rom immediately. You got confused a bit with s off and htc dev unlock. You were s off and free to flash roms
Hi All
Hoping someone has the good grace to help me out here.
My Indian 3G variant Flyer was updated OTA to Honeycomb which unfortunately resulted my tablet basically locking at the white HTC logo screen.
I've followed a number of tutorials here with no luck trying to get it back to GB.
Tablet Info:
Locked and S-On
Hboot - 1.11.0003
Microp-0950
Radio-3809.07.004.06_m
eMMC-Boot
The issue I am running into in when I run the GB RUU for my tablet.
I get the Error [140]: Bootloader Version Error.
Would appreciate some help or where to from here please.
Was your flyer rooted or anything prior to attempting the update?
Flyer
Unsure unfortunately, I bought second hand and was running stock GB, but it did have the Revolutionary Hboot.
your hboot now says s on but you were s off prior? That does not make sense to me
Flyer
Yes that how it stands at the moment, was on Stock GB then updated to OTA HC.
Nothing but the white HTC screen after that.
Followed Globatrons HC downgrade tutorial and now just get stuck at the RUU install procedure with the Error [140] Bootloader Version Error.
Appreciate the replies mcord.
Couple of things
Sure you have correct ruu
Which downgrade procedure
What steps in the downgrade procedure did you accomplish
Oh man, you are testing me, I've looked at multiple threads concerning downgrading. I'm sure I followed this How to return to S-On after revolutionary first and foremost.
And got through to the RUU install, then that's when I get the error.
Im pretty sure that my RUU (RUU_Flyer_hTC_Asia_India_2.27.720.1_Radio_20.3504.30.089BU_3809.07.04.06_M_release_205504_Signed) is the correct one but I'll check my cid again to make sure.
I am nottesting you just trying to figure how screwed you are
Ok so you were s off when you tried OTA, first mistake
After it failed you attempted to return s on, second mistake
Sounds like you succeeded in pushing s on hboot through recovery but now your ruu won't run because you show a hc system that is newer than the ruu you are trying to run
I think
I think you want to try to gain soff using revolutionary first
No problem, just a figure of speech .
Yeah, like I said bought second hand so was unsure of the unlocked/locked state. But after going through these issues, Im learning to become very comfortable with Fastboot and the guides here.
Ok, so how do I gain soff with revolutionary without booting into Android and no adb?
Again, I appreciate the help mcord.
Not sure this works but try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
If not maybe htc dev unlock
I am concerned that you will not have USB debug enabled and that could be a problem
Do you know if a ruu exist for your device for hc
Yeah I've looked at that, the issue is 'Note: The device should be fully booted to android now, do not go to the bootloader or fastboot.'
I'll have a look at the HTC Dev Unlock but unsure if they even do it for the Indian Flyer.
Was thinking the same thing in that I may have to wait for an HC RUU to become available, which I do not think has happened yet.
We have to get you recovery
I'm all eyes and ears mate.
No s off no htc dev unlock I think I am out of ideas outside of maybe a gold card of another version of hc but I am no help in making one
Hey no worries, appreciate you jumping in to help out.
I think I am going to have a similar problem my flyer wifi model os due back Friday from repair I had to restock it all cause screen was playing up.Well htc will upgrade it to HC as standard so what would my option be?
Does anyone know if there is an Asia/India Honeycomb RUU available?
