Hi all,
I have rooted and S-OFFed my 16 GB Flyer using Revolutionary and I'm currently on 2.3.4.
I just noticed that there is an OTA Update available for 3.2.
Can i run this without an issue, or do I have to restore the flyer to stock to flash the OTA?
thanks,
i dont think it will run and you need to go to stock for ota update.

thanks, I thought as much.
every time I read through the threads on returning to stock I just don't understand it fully.
The main thing I am having issue with is understand what the RUU is and how I know what one to use.
I have a UK 16GB Wifi only
as you are s-off and rooted you could upgrade to a custom 3.2 rom. i did it a couple of days ago and im happy with it. I also have a 16gb uk flyer.

sure
i use this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406851
i followed GLOBATRON's guide to upgrade to HC which is very straight forward
I think that is what is tripping me up.
So, all I have to do is download the RUU for the 16GB,
as I'm on GB with Revolutionary S-OFF and CWM i just run the executable?
does the Flyer need to be connected to the PC? does it have to be in a certain mode?
sorry for the questions, I've come from rooting on Galaxy S2 and this seems far more complicated.

need to be connected via usb, i put debugging mode on. run the.exe. it will reboot the flyer into fastboot and flash it. if you download the full one it will be stock with root and s-off if you want, you can then reboot into recovery and flash the custom rom
excellent, thanks for your help.
for the LeeDroid Rom, all that needs to be done after going through the above is to flash the zip in recovery?
thanks,

Why don't you try out, and tell me about your experiences, so I can do the same
I just want to say thank you for guiding me through the questions I had.
I am now running the Leedroid ROM successfully!

glad all worked out ok. you might what to flash the LeeDrOiD Flyer HC V2.1.0 - 2.6.35.14 KERNEL it has some fixes in there too. just drop it on SD card and install .zip in recovery
Note from Globatron on HC OTA updates for S-OFF users.
It is possible, but not the simplest of options to upgrade with S-OFF.

So, if I interpret this post right, I should first install the 2.0 kernel thingie and then the 2.1 kernel thingie? (and the wifi-only kernel thingie as I do have the wifi only Flyer...)

Once you are upgraded to HC and on leedroid 2.0.0 rom then update to 2.1.0 kernel. The only time you need to grab anything to do with wifi flyer is the ruins to upgrade to HC
Did it
Now I need to remember the wifi username/password for the connection at work...

if you got a rooted phone which has them, with root explorer you can go to the file which stores all your wifi names and passwords in plain text. thats how i remember some of mine.
its in data/misc/wifi and the file is wpa_supplicant.conf

Noob Question
I may be posting this in the wrong thread, but this is the closest match I could find, since I am a new member and unable to post in the development threads.
I would like to start off by thanking all the devs who have worked so hard on development issues with the Flyer, I intend on donating to them as soon as I am able, as I think everyone who has benefitted should. With that said, please forgive me if this has been covered. I have read pretty much all the threads/posts on these issues and used the search function, but I tend to get somewhat confused by the high volume of information provided and wanted some verification before I go down this road.
I have a BB Wi-Fi 16 GB Flyer (HTC_Flyer_P512_NA). I have run Revolutionary to get S-OFF, installed CWM, and rooted, but still on stock GB 2.3.4; I am now at Software Version 2.27.1540.32, HBOOT Version 6.10.1002, Kernel version 2.6.35.10. I would now like to give HC a try, but not lose root. I would like to start off with stock HC and have the ability to try out some of the custom ROMs. I would also like the ability to go back to GB, if desired.
Here is what I have gleaned so far:
1) I should be able to run Globatron’s method from post #1 of this thread ([Guide][Flyer]Honeycomb S-OFF, Easy Install, Recovery and Root. [US Wifi Added]), starting at step 2, for updating to honeycomb and retaining root.
2) After this, I should have the ability to flash custom HC ROMs.
3) From there, I should have the ability to go back to stock HC, keeping S-OFF and root.
4) Using the procedure in post #3 of this thread ([Guide][Flyer]Honeycomb S-OFF, Easy Install, Recovery and Root. [US Wifi Added]) will take me back to GB with S-OFF and CWM.
5) From GB with S-OFF and CWM, I can go completely back to stock GB with S-ON using this procedure: [Guide][Flyer+View] How to return to S-ON after running revolutionary].
If/where I am wrong about any of the above, could someone kindly point out where and how I am wrong? Assuming all of the above is correct, I have a couple of questions:
• Will I lose my data using Globatron’s method in post #1?
• Although Globatron strongly recommends method 1, I would like to use method 2 because it seems more straight-forward for a noob like me. Is this a bad idea?
Yes, I am a noob (BTW, I hate that word, but I do fall into that category), but I don’t exactly hate myself. Please don’t be hating on me either, even though I am sure that some, or all, of these questions have already been answered. Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.
I’ve been on this forum for a few weeks now and seen many posts on rooting/s-off etc, and I am confused over the options. (thanks to Globatron and others for their hard work). I was hoping that someone could give me the right reference.
I have the stock View with GB and the OTA update has been staring at me for some time now. I don’t (yet) want to upgrade To HC but I do want to do things like backups, remove Sprint bloatware etc. I understand that I have to root the device to do this. Can anyone point me to the steps necessary to root my stock View? Do I just run the prerequisite steps in Globatrons thread? Which steps specifically?
If I do this, and later decide to update to the OTA HC update, will that brick the View? Do I have to use one of the custom ROMs (and approaches) documented here?
Also, if someone here does a custom ICS ROM for the View, could we go from GB direct, or would we have to go GB > HC > ICS?
Thx for your help.
From Stock GB you have to perform all the steps in the Globaltron thread that take you from GB to S-OFF HC.
Yes you can revert back to stock GB , that process is also in his thread. You would have to revert to do the official OTA update, however there is no functional difference in the official OTA and the Globaltron OTA, other than root and S-OFF.
ICS , no one knows for sure since its months away , but its built on top of HC , so very unlikely you would revert to GB to do a custom ICS ROM.
Thx. However, I don't want to go to HC. I just want to get GB rooted / s-off. At what point in Globatron's steps do I stop? (just want to make sure I don't do one extra step that leads into HC and then restart into soft bricked mode).
This is what you want - no more, no less: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1194709
Follow the instructions and you will have GB, root and S-OFF
don't forget to thank globatron...!

You could also go to http://revolutionary.io and follow the instructions there. If you were looking for more options (but Globatron's the man in this territory).

DJ, just take it one step at a time. Make sure you check for your Hboot version before starting. Should be the 09 something. That's what mine was.
Globatron made an excellent step by step guide. It is pretty much automated and definitely way easier than it looks. Read through the steps a few times before doing it. Then when you actually get it done, you'll think to yourself "Wow, that was easy!"

My s-off, rooted gingerbread flyer is asking for me to install a 47.22 meg update
And dangers to my device, s-off, revolutionary root and CWM?
Way to small to be honeycomb?
If you try to install the update, it will either fail or freeze on the bootscreen. At least, that is what happened with past OTA's on the Flyer. You don't want to install OTA's if you are rooted.
If you're rooted and want HC, just use globatron's method.
though so
so how do we get the update?
Yep to small
Download it and transfer it from the sd card. Some one could make a flashable zip.
I'm looking at the LeeDroid and coolexe ROM's
I have never ever done anything like that before
the Flyer came as it is
I have zero confidence in if I decide to go ahead with one of those roms or not.
you know where some collage courses "assume you have working knowledge of" ?
I'm about 10 courses behind every one else here.
Do you mean how hard todo it or if the ROM is good?
Easiness: On a scale of 1/10, maybe 2. Follow the guide at revolutionary.io.
ROMs: I've tried both. Remember, coolexe's is a Honeycomb ROM, you must follow globatrons easy honeycomb guide. LeeDroid's Gingerbread ROM is very good.

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 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 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.

As far as I know , this rom has English and Turkish as the main languages.

I followed this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1712858
however the link to the download was taken down, help would be appreciated.
First of all I'm sorry to have to say this.. but this is the 50th thread about how to upgrade to ICS. I don't care which carrier you are on the process is all the same. The file may be different but the actions are all the same. So if you search and read the other "Hold My Hand" threads you should be able to find your answer.
Like I said.. I'm sorry I chose your thread to pick on but some people need to search and read.

thats kinda wrong.. first they need to go back to stock gingerbread and then upgrade the rom to official ice, then root it and flash any ice/jellybean rom they want... but yeah.. it would be easier if you were s-off to flash any stock RUU for any carrier regardless
