How To S-OFF On HTC Flyer Tablet With Revolutionary [Guide]
After surfacing of Revolutionary, the easiest unlock till date for some HTC devices, the owners of these devices are filled with joy. Revolutionary also sets S-OFF on Flyer –flagship Android tab from HTC – which allows users to gain permanent root privileges along with a custom recovery. You just need to check HBoot version of HTC Flyer, which must be 1.10.0000, and you are ready to S-OFF.
Here are the step by step instructions to gain S – OFF on HTC Flyer with Revolutionary:
- The first step is to download the HTC fastboot drivers and install them on your PC.
- Now uninstall HTC Sync from your computer.
- Once done, connect your tab to the computer, enable USB debugging. You can enable USB debugging by launching Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB Debugging.
- After this head to the Revolutionary.IO portal, read through the documentation, and click on “Download For Windows”.
- The download will start immediately and a form with different fields will open.
- Do not close the webpage and wait for the download to complete.
- After the download is complete, extract the archive and double click on Revolutionary.exe.
- Now you will get a serial number which needs to be entered in the web form along with other device specs required. You will then be given a beta key which you need to copy.
- Now paste the beta key in Revolutionary console window and follow onscreen instructions to unlock bootloader.
- In the end you will see the message “SUCCESS – Life gave us lemons, we didn’t make lemonade!”.
And there you go! You now have your HTC Flyer liberated with S-OFF! Now you are free to root, flash custom ROMs, play with recoveries etc. Enjoy!

My flyer was showing S OFF ,but I couldn’t edit the root file. Then I booted usingRevolutionary, no change. Again I tried with the key test option, now my phone is in a hanging stage. Can you pls help me to get out of this stage.
Any ideas on how to fix the call history? The people app throws and error and requires a force close when looking at the call history. A tad annoying
Re the call history issue. Resolved 🙂
S-OFF’d my HTC and rooted it with no issues. I’m now using it as a phone as well and I have to say its great. Yes you need a BT headset or use the wired on that comes in the box. Bizzare that I noticed the out the box handsfree has a microphone on it. Strange in that you out the box cannot make calls!
i tried many times on my flyer everything works but it says failed and it still says S-ON. i have no idea what to do but on first try i got an error it said driver download failed and the driver was Android 1.0 i don’t even know where to get it if thats the problem
I achieved s=off but never was asked to install a custom rom of any kind, also insteed of saying “sucess” it said “Failed” but when I go into bootloader it does say S=OFF, no apps that need it will recognize the tablet as rooted, I installed busybox, and it said to flash a zip file stayting with SU(something).zip, I also have rom manager. I know I am a noob, but I need to start some where, Thank You in advance, Mike
