Install Honeycomb on your HTC Flyer Android 3.2 Step by Step Guide

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? 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.

• 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 – visithttp://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’

• Erase data / cache using the on screen menus
• Reboot the device and you should be done!
