As you probably know, a Beta version of the Honeycomb ROM has leaked for
the Flyer. Installing the ROM has been
somewhat fraught with danger, so i've written up a guide below.
PLEASE READ THE EXCEPTIONALLY IMPORTANT POINTS BELOW BEFORE YOU START!
With that out of the way, here are some things you also need to know...
OK, Are You Ready......? Let's go..!!
PLEASE READ THE EXCEPTIONALLY IMPORTANT POINTS BELOW BEFORE YOU START!
- This process is recommended for experts only!
- This guide is only tested on a Euro WWE 32GB 3G Flyer - it may work on other configurations, but this is untested (i'd advise reading the topic to see if anyone has experimented with your configuration!)
- Anything you do from this point forward is at your own risk - my Flyer works and i've resurrected a couple of others, but I take no responsibility if it all goes horribly wrong. You COULD brick your tablet
- Do NOT under any circumstances run the RUU in it's entirety nor 'fastboot flash rom.zip' - this will make irreversible changes that you don't want!
- Be careful if you flash any RUUs or do anything that could revert you to S-ON on a broken system - this could leave you stuck
With that out of the way, here are some things you also need to know...
- Before attempting this, it is strongly recommended you ensure you have a RUU install that makes your current Gingerbread install version
- Assuming you use this guide and have the above file, you CAN downgrade to Gingerbread
- This ROM is COMPLETELY stock - a MCR will follow
- Please don't repost this guide - link here so the version the reader has is always current
OK, Are You Ready......? Let's go..!!
- Ensure you have an RUU that matches the ROM version on your Flyer. I used the 2.00.405.3 WWE ROM which can be found here - DOWNLOAD - MD5: 28a32c0b1262ced44a547e4a9a42d9b0. This is important for rollback purposes and disaster recovery purposes. Ensuring you have the RUU and your device version matches is your responsibility! If you use a different RUU however, post it below for your peers to benefit from.
- Download the Honeycomb system image for clockworkmod - you'll need this later - DOWNLOAD - MD5: a068750ade064f4fe3913fe9e13d976f
- Download the Honeycomb radio image - you'll need this later - DOWNLOAD - MD5: d6b36ccb1cbdc0a86f41a8f63b7ae52f
- Download the Honeycomb boot image - you'll need this later - DOWNLOAD - MD5: 26f53c6a6e686751e300340af7496b8c
- Download the revolutionary recovery image patched for new hboot compatability - you'll need this later - DOWNLOAD - MD5: 16fe327f70c3036af69c19ec93b87e44
- Download the updated hboot - you'll need this later - ensure you check the MD5 after download (VERY important) - DOWNLOAD - MD5: 2eb541192be861ecceb2baa254403ade
- Unlock your Flyer's bootloader with Revolutionary.
- You should still be in bootloader - if not, use 'adb reboot bootloader' to return to fastboot
- Flash your device's radio with the Honeycomb radio with the fastboot command 'fastboot flash radio stock-hc-flyer-radio.img'
- Flash your device's boot image with the Honeycomb boot image with the fastboot command 'fastboot flash boot stock-hc-flyer-boot.img'
- Launch ClockworkMod recovery - navigate to the 'bootloader' menu then select 'recovery'
- Push the new hboot to your device (you've checked the MD5 right?) and flash - 'adb push stock-hc-flyer-hboot_1.11.0006.nb0 / && adb shell dd if=/stock-hc-flyer-hboot_1.11.0006.nb0 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18'
- Reboot to the new bootloader - 'adb reboot bootloader'
- You are now in a state where you must unlock the bootloader using the HTC tools - visit http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/ and follow the instructions (Flyer compatability isn't listed, but it'll work)
- Flash your device's recovery with the patched-to-work-with-new-hboot revolutionary recovery - 'fastboot flash recovery revolutionary-cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.newhboot.img'
- Launch ClockworkMod recovery - navigate to the 'bootloader' menu then select 'recovery'
- Flash the Honeycomb system zip by copying / pushing to sdcard (adb shell mount /sdcard && adb push stock-hc-flyer-system.zip /sdcard/) then using the on screen menus
- Erase data / cache using the on screen menus
- Reboot the device and you should be done!
