I had an HTC Evo View 4G from Sprint. I still ‘have’ it, but it’s been off contract for awhile now, and wasn’t “mine” to use. I got a Nexus 10, and my husband used the View for awhile, but was letting it sit around the last many months.<\/p>\n
Long ago, \u00a0when I was still using it, I got it unlocked, rooted and had a couple of\u00a0different\u00a0ROM’s on it. Cypher was the last one I used and I was tired of it. I put it back to stock using the Multitool for the HTC Evo View, and let my hubby use it.<\/p>\n
So it was on HC with a 1.14 hboot for a long time. Just not a nice tablet, to me. Recently I charged it up and made sure it held a charge OK. I toyed with ideas of what to do with it, and recently decided that I needed to get it re-rooted all the way so that Vudu could work on it.<\/p>\n
We are going to Carolina Rebellion and so I’m letting my daughter, who’s going with us, use the tablet.<\/p>\n
I used a tacoroot method to \u00a0root in able to downgrade from HC to GB, since I could only get unlocked and rooted fully with hboot 1.13. The method worked great. I used Revolutionary IO, but had to switch to a different computer to finish it, as Win8.1 and Fastboot do not get along together.<\/p>\n
On a Win 8.0 machine I had it s-off\u00a0and custom recovery Revolutionary style. Welcome back! I love this recovery.<\/p>\n
Then onto the ROM’s. The only one that would do was CG’s JB. In order to get from GB to JB I had to go\u00a0to HC or at least it’s hboot. I couldn’t find one to flash, probably didn’t look hard enough for an hboot, but I settled on an HC Rom, didn’t matter what. First I tried the Multitool but it flaked out at certain point in downloading. I got it accomplished manually with some other ROM, then connected the device to the pc to put CG ROM and GAPPS on the SD card.<\/p>\n
I flashed them in recovery and the boot loop feel was too long, so I went back to recovery and wiped everything, didn’t matter since nothing was on the tablet anyhow.<\/p>\n
Oh joy! The bliss that comes over one when the device boots and goes into setup screens and is responsive and all that.<\/p>\n
I now have the HTC Evo View 4G with the 3G disabled via a patch I flashed, running CGROM. Opened Play Store, searched Vudu, and voila! There it is, install, works. Opens, downloads and plays. Great!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
