Just ordered one today and want to be prepared when it arrives. Looked through the dev section but wanted to get opinions from some people here.
It says it will be shipping with Gingerbread. What is the best way to root with Gingerbread? Would it be this link?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
In the end I would like to have Honeycomb running on my device rooted. Can I just run it like that and flash a honeycomb Rom? I saw a thread with people having to flash back to Gingerbread to get the official Honeycomb Rom. What would be the point or advantage to this? I am definitely not new to rooting and like to be there when the device first rolls out so I am there from the start but I am juming into this device pretty late to the party so there seems like a few different options to go with.
Appreciate any help with an overview and best direction to go. I am sure others who purchased the device today would find this useful as well.....
Thanks in advance guys...Looking forward to hanging with the view folks. Seems like a cool crowd!
That would be the best way.
If you want to go to Honeycomb and retain the root/S-OFF (google that if you dont know) then you must follow this guide to go to Honeycomb:

If you want stock Honeycomb with NO ROOT you should NOT ROOT Gingerbread and just check for over the air updates.

Want s-off and honeycomb. Is there no rooted stock honeycomb ROM to flash in cwm after rooting in gingerbread? Also is the latest hboot that devices are shipping with the ones that can be rooted?

OK follow that guide.
You can't just flash a HC ROM over Gingerbread, because the hboot versions are different. Once you have followed that guide, you can flash and Honeycomb ROM.
Also I don't thing that HTC updated the View's hboot. You can check by rebooting while holding the volume done key and you will see hboot version.

Cool, thanks...that pretty much answered my question why you couldn't just flash a honeycomb ROM over a rooted gingerbread ROM.
So, I updated to the leaked kernel and would like to get back to stock. I know we had to wait for s-off, and since we have it now I was hoping for a how-to. I see we have a back to stock radio but what about the stock RUU? I am still getting used to all the terms here. Learning the difference from kernel/RUU/Radio/Rom. I am only confused on kernel and RUU.
I do have s-off.
Thanks All,
XDA user are the best
I would avoid flashing the radios. I would flash the latest GB RUU. After that you can flash and downgrade your hboot to the eng hboot 2.11 if you would like. Then go about how you would have dine before to run ics roms with the firmware patch unless the dev says otherwise......
If I am wrong someone will correct me.....as I have not done this.

BeringBullet, are you rooted? I ask because I also installed the ICS leak and want to go back to stock but I dont want to root.
Does anyone have a link to the GB RUU? I cant find a working one.
Not the most recent one but you can update over the air:

Then I assume you haven't done S-OFF? You will have to root to do the exploit. If afterward you run the GB RUU and flash the eng HBOOT, you can run stock unrooted ROM.
Word of warning; IF you flash the eng hboot after RUU'ing back to GB. Don't attempt bringing S-ON back to the device as you will brick to an unusable state.
Here's a write-up I made in another thread, just a quick summary of what steps to take. You can leave the stock hboot but if you wish to flash radios and/or s-on you will need to unlock.

Here is where I am confused
I had my Flyer 3G 32GB . S-OFF'd by Revolutionary when I was on GB
Then I had installed LeeDroid's HC rom and I was on HC, everything is fine till now.
Recently I wanted to go back to GB but I could not ( I got some HTC screens so I gave up) then I flashed GLOBATRON'S methods and I am on S-OFF, Rooted HC 3.55.x.x stock Rom from his thread.
Currently there is a new OTA for my 3.55.x.x ROM and I have the RUU file for the OTA.
After running the OTA RUU , now my Flyer is on HC 3.62.x.x but I can not root it. CWM method is not working on the Revolutionary site as this rom is HC , I manually flashed the CWM img thru fastboot but no go.
My question is how to root my Flyer again after flashing the RUU file of the OTA 3.62.x.x from rooted 3.55.x.x
I know that if I flash a rom like Leedroid's it will work, but instead I want to flash the Original OTA RUU and the root it somehow. There is NO instructions on how to do it for Flyer.
My question is how to flash the CWM and SU onto my new HC 3.62.x.x Rom
Can I somehow remove the ROM and RADIO of the already rooted 3.55.x.x by Globatron and replace with ROM and RADIO of 3.62.x.x ? If yes how to do it ?
Or what to do ?
Pls Help somebody
I Think you must: 1 Downgrade 2 S-Off and root
I think these two threads could help you

I believe, since it is the ota, that you need to complete the steps of the tacoroot/ misc version method of downgrading from globatron and then flash the gb ruu for your device, I don't believe it matters which hboot you have for hc. Then use globatrons honeycomb s off ruu on top of that and bingo! Hope I helped

I believe you would require someone to make you a stock Rooted ROM that can be flashed via CWM
But why do you not want to use of the custom ~ROMs that are already on the market ?

I already used some of them but I wasnt happy with the battery drainage.
I was on Leedroid and battery drain was fast somehow, currently I am on the rooted stock 3.55 and my battery is 80% since I took it off the charge this morning at 8.00am
I used it full time for 1 hours when I was going to work in my car. Normally with Leedroid I could never get 80% at this time since I do regular things with my flyer every work day , such as check my e-mails, facebook, twitter when I am on the 1 hour way to work.

Here is the LINK of the RUU of the OTA
Now I am S-OFF by Revolutionary , and rooted by Globatron's HC 3.55.X.X from this link
This is the info about it :
Instructions Part 2
The large download is a stock HoneyComb 3.55.405.1 for 3G and 3.55.1114.31 for WIFI with the following changes:
Rooted
Busybox
Secure flag turned off on the boot image
Stock recovery replaced by CWM
My Android knowledge tells me , if I replace the ROM.ZIP and RADIO.ZIP of that rom with the pnes from the latest RUU , it can work.
But if it is something else, I wouldn't know it anyway
Quick Note
I have not had any reports of battery drainage on my ROM, its listed as Senseless 4.1.0 in the threads, maybe give that a go ?

Here is a link to a stock ROM which you can flash in recovery that has been pulled from the 3.62.468.1 RUU with root permissions added. Just make sure you take the usual precautions and nandroid backup your device first. If you are fully S-OFF this should work fine.
stock_3.62.468.1_root.zip
MD5: b0b714b280d573965aa8fbecb9da604d
I don't know what the differences are between the ROM I'm using so far and this one, but I'll give it a spin (HTC won't release an update if it didn't fix/add something )

As far as I know , this rom has English and Turkish as the main languages.
You might need Morelocale2 from Market to add more locations such as Netherlands and etc.

You can do absolutely nothing! :good: Just glad to help.
Here's a link to the radio.img from the 3.62.468.1 RUU if you wanted it. You can flash it to your Flyer in fastboot using;
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
If for some reason something doesn't work have globatron's RUU ready at hand.
Radio_20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M
MD5: 6d2479b49d4ace9ae46f352f42401dbb (for the radio.img not radio.zip)
Hello there!
I'm thinking about buying a used flyer (32gig, 3G, 190€) that is currently running on the FlyHigh ROM. Will it be possible to upgrade the ROM to Dekter's Jelly Bean ROM? I've got spoiled by using Jelly Bean on my Sensation and never want to go back
fly High is GB. you will have to update your Hboot to HC before flashing rom
Sure you can flash Dexter's JB ROM.
As mentioned, you will need to upgrade to the HC Hboot. Assuming the Flyer is S-Off and not just bootloader unlocked, you can use this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358758
Its a bit confusing, but:
To flash GB custom ROMs, you need to be on the GB Hboot.
To flash HC or JB custom ROMs, you need to be on the HC Hboot.
Not sure what the process would be, if the Flyer is just bootloader unlocked and S-On. You might ask the seller if its S-Off or not.
Will ask the seller asap. Thanks for your input!

Not sure why I didn't think of it before, but you can just go into bootloader to see if its S-Off or not.
hello guys
i need the stock rom of the htc evo3d to revert it back to the original situation. every site i entered had wrong files or destroyed links. if anyone knows also the exact kernel source of this rom would help me extremely lot. i need all these for a project about memory extraction.
thanks a lot!

which one of this list that i can use for downgrade my android version to gingerbread 2.3.4 ?
mine : HTC EVO 3D GSM,rooted,S-oN,KingCobraICS v.1.6 , downgrading to 2.3.4 is for downgrade hboot from 1.53.0007 to 1.49.0007 and get S-off (the whole tutorials says that must be done on gingerbread 2.3.4 CMIIW)
u cant go back to gingerbread by just running an RUU. but you can get s-off on ICS using the wire trick method. so relock bootloader and run an ICS RUU. then follow the instructions at http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm to get s-off. then you can downgrade hboot
