[Q] Could my HTC Flyer be flash back to Android 2.3 or install the google services? - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I've got a HTC Flyer P512 wifi recently. It's retail in mainland of China. Unfortunately, the google service framework has been cut off from the firmware. So I can't use google's service at all, even the Google play app store.
So, could I flash it to a HongKong or Taiwan firmware? Better, if can be flash back to android 2.3. Or, is there a suitable version of google service framework could be installed on it?
Information:
CID of the Flyer is FHLCN702
HBoot version: 1.13.0015
Android version: 3.2.1
Baseband: 20.4801.30.0822U_3822.10.08.07_M
Build number: 3.70.1041.5 CL370977 release-keys
Kernel version: 2.6.35.10-g2040a15
Thank you.

What you can do is to unlock your boot loader and install a recovery. All you have to do then is to download a gapps zip and install it through the recovery. Its a lot easier than to try and downgrade from HC to GB or to try and swap your ruu for that of another region.

Thank you. I had flash the cwm recovery successfully, and install the gapps from the sdcard.
P.S. HC is no longer supported by lots of software. There is no Google chrome for HC. : (

questions about rooting?

I just brought this in Hk, and i installed the adb drivers etc and tried to use the all in one tool to root, it tells me that my device is currently unrootable?
i've done nothing to the tablet
its running
android version 3.2
kernal version 2.6.36.3
build number 1.10.001100029
i thought that it could be rooted? or am i wrong?
in the kernel version, is it also written kernel10? if so, you may have to upgrade to a newer version of honeycomb. Or you can pre-root the ics version and install that. Dont upgrade to ics through the tablet!!!!

[Q] OTA update for the t328w

Hi all,
My Chinese t328w is requesting I update to 1.73.709.4. I am however on a custom rom:
Kernel version [email protected]#1PREEMPT
Baseband 1.06.34D.05_20.22.30.23U
Build No. 1.59.709.3 CL 68502 release-keys
Would it be beneficial to upgrade?
What are the benefits?
What would the downsides be (i.e. would I lose Google services etc)?
Would I still be able to change ROM’s with this upgrade?

You must go back to the stock RUU, and make the updates. After this operation you can install custom roms

I am trying for 3 days now to upgrade the radio version of my Desire V to 1.10 (Currently I'm running on1.06)
I have installed several ROM's an tried to run OTA updates, but none of them actually updated my radio to 1.10
Can someone provide me the zip file or a clear instructiuon on how to update my radio to 1.10?

Radio is on 1.06.34D.05_20.22.30.23U

Using "getprop ro.cid" I get back HTCCN703 (China Version)

the problem is that your phone was born in china and you will flash a TW Radio image.. and before you're not have a TW CID or SUPER CID you are NOT PERMITTED to do an update of your Radio
maybe an update to latest chinese Radio is possible
if i could get a chinese rom... I should solve your issue..

Ok, I have the same version. I was in same condition as you and it was needed of two OTA to get radio 1.10. It will be and a third update but that is for some chinese apps (11 of them) - don't bother.
Good luck!
Here is a thread with all official versions, RUU and ROM for this version of Desire V. It's chinese but numbers are readable.

Download these, follow the steps from that page you mentioned before, and you will return to stock, then you can do OTA updates.

Pfffffffff
This took some time and effort.
First I had to reload the Original China ROM
OTA updates were loaded, however, they did not install
Several other ROM's were loaded, but no succes at all
Then I locked the bootloader again en downloaded the correct RUU
Installed the RUU using the PC over the Original China ROM I installed myself
After this, the Phone installed several OTA updates
Finally my radio was updated to version 1.10
Then unlocked the bootloader again
installed the European ROM and all is runnig fine now
Thank you for the information!!!

If after installation of the original China ROM, you did flash stock recovery and boot, and lock the bootloader, than I can assure you the OTA will install. But if you have custom recovery and bootloader unlocked, OTA will be downloaded but not installed.
I know you solved this, but for the other readers who wants to do that I have to say it.

How to upgrade AT&T 2.23.502.3 (Android 4.4.3) to Android 5.x.x (AT&T 4.28.502.2)

How to upgrade AT&T 2.23.502.3 (Android 4.4.3) to Android 5.x.x (AT&T 4.28.502.2)
Hello and thank you in advance.
LONG STORY SHORT
I have a rooted AT&T M8 with unlocked bootloader, TWRP recovery and AT&T 2.23.502.3 (Android 4.4.3) build. (I have followed this thread to flash this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...-2-23-502-3-bootable-ruu-pc-required-t2860486)
I want to install the latest ViperROM following the links on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705292. THE PROBLEM IS, download link says that:
"The 4.3.0 rom is based on HTC’s latest M8 Sense 6 Android 5.0.1 base and requires you to update your firmware to at least the 5.0.x (Lollipop) version! Else you will run into hiccups, like Wi-FI not working or No Boot and so on…
You need to do that on your own, because we can’t install the firmware for you with the rom installation."

THE QUESTIONS ARE
1- How do you find ViperROM in general and particularly the latest builds?
2- Can I upgrade my firmware to a Android 5.x.x version with a Windows 8 PC by following the instructions and downloading the latest 1,5 GB RUU file on this page: http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8-att/news/
3- How do you like the idea in general?
Thank you very much and Cheers!
OK SOLVED.
fastboot oem lock
double click the .exe file in Windows
solved it.
Thanks!
