Oh. Sorry. I am an impulsive person. You deserve a prize for you maje 4us. 2.2.7 RC5 Desire ... download failed... retry num

I am just trying to update... retry number 5... error downloading
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Noone ever told me about a problem like that if internet connection is working. And for you this issue exists since days?!

This sounds like a problem with your setup regarding the app or rom.. something very strange going on there.

I'd like to help you solve that immediately.

Would you please join #4ext on freenode?

If you do not have an irc client, just use the webchat:

http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=4ext&uio=d4

See you there ;)
[Desire Android Development] snakeeyes21:
any update on when the touch version will be available?

I want something new to play with :p using buttons is

soooo 2011 and 2012 is fast approaching :D
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
It's basically ready. I could release it today.

The problem is updater-scripts that are using yes/no interactivity.

For this the progress animation has to be stopped. Currently there's only an indeterminate progress indicator available.

So I'm afraid I cannot release until this is built-in, because there are a few roms for the Desire that make use of that.
[Desire Android Development] TheUntouchable:
I have the feeling there is something coming very soon ;)

EDIT: Grml.. To slow.. :P
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
You and your feelings :D

4EXT Recovery Touch testing

Everyone who's online and would like to check out 4EXT Recovery Touch for the Desire, please join irc freenode #4ext_bravo

It's final, but I'd like it to be tested before releasing it by a few users.

If you don't have an irc client, just use the webchat:

See you there ;)

Cheers Madmaax82. Something shiny n new. tried and tested today. Perfect.

Looks good. feels good. A huge leap forward for the desire.

Sebs AIO kicks ass and with this and the installer its miles ahead of the rest.

Can you provide link
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
On webchat but only me, no download :(

If you're not ready to post publically a PM would be awesome..... my volume buttons barely work any more and trackpad isn't that good for scrolling in recovery :/ All I can say so far is thank goodness for 4EXT app! Can set it up to do all my backups/flashing without having to touch recovery myself.

device stuck at "why so serious"

I have a problem: I tried to reset my device (reset to defaults, delete cache, etc), and since then I can't get it to reboot.

It's stuck at the "why so serious" screen.

Using adb the phone is recognised by "adb devices", but can't do much more with it... adb shell doesn't work, also fastboot doesn't

what to try?

Thanks

I've just updated to 2.2.7 rc6 and I've got a question.

Do I still need to do all wipes before changing HBOOT?

Thanks
[Desire Android Development] ckpv5:
Changing hboot means you change the system/data/cache partition layout. It is always a need to a full wipes after changing hboot. (Do the full wipes before change of hboot is not neccessary).
[Desire Android Development] rferrerca:
Thanks for your answer, but I had a problem with 4ext 2.1.3: If I didn't wipe before changing hboot, then, i couldn't enter to the recovery. If I wiped before yes, but If i didn't, I could not enter.

My question is: is in 2.2.7 rc6 fixed this issue?
[Desire Android Development] madkai:
No, you still need to wipe before change HBOOT.

I think madmaxx mentioned that he tried to solve this problem in his touch recovery.
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes this is no longer needed in 4Ext Recovery Touch.

Of course you need to wipe too, but recovery will boot up nontheless if you don't do it before.

Just do it before changing hboot and everything will be fine.

Thank you VERY, very much :) We already mailed though so posting just for the record :D

I'm very sorry but I don't know enough about things unrelated to recovery on the Desire as I haven't used that phone myself long enough.

I just got mine 1 week ago.

I hope your problem was solved already and if not that someone else who knows more could help you out!

Did you try flashing an RUU?
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much :)

Returning home today. Hope it won't take long for the fixed version to be up. It shouldn't take longer than until Wednesday if everything goes well.
[Desire Android Development] asenki:
Does anybody have ideas what to do in my case?

I was using RC5 (downgraded, because was having problems w/RC6 already earlier)

For now I can't do anything with my phone :-(
[Desire Android Development] angusc:
Try to go in to RECOVERY by POWER ON + VOL DOWN.

Then go to advanced settings and check file system -> check SDCARD

Then run the repair as it is likely to tell you that it has errors (I have done this many times....no back up required for me anyway never lost anything).

Then check the EXT4 partition but this one should be OK.

Next try a standard REBOOT SYSTEM.

If that does not work then you going to have to enter Recovery.

Reflash .zip from SDCARD and select your previous ROM and flash it over the phone without Wipe.

If this then boots in to the ROM OK then you can see if you stil lhave the previous settings. IF YES then all should be good.

If NO then go back in to RECOVERY and RESTORE your last back up. See if that reboots ok after restoring.

IF all above fails, then only option is a full wipe and reflash the rom from scratch.
[Desire Android Development] asenki:
Hi angusc,

thanks, but unfortunately POWER ON + VOL DOWN doesn't get my phone into recovery :((( The phone is stuck forever at "why so serious"

Also, strangely, when connected to desktop, it shows up in Control Panel, showing as though everything was working properly... however adb devices sees it as offline, thus unreacheable (even though it recognizes device id)

Just a question: is it possible, that 4ext was storing some of its data on the sd-ext partition? This was formatted (foolishly, I understand). What can I do in such a case?
[Desire Android Development] rophaq:
vol down+hit power while still holding vol down gets you to bootloader.

change it to fastboot and plug to your pc.

download an old recovery, and flash it through fastboot with android flasher

that should resolve your problem
[Desire Android Development] asenki:
My problem is, vol down + power doesn't work :(
[Desire Android Development] jukyO:

Hi Guys,

im using now ClockworkMod, can i just Install over it or need i to remove it?
[Desire Android Development] K900:
Just install from the app, it should overwrite CWM
[Desire Android Development] bodatbrasco:
I want to ask, i allready flash ROM runnymede v4,

and then i flash script AD2SDX Version 1.00-RC01 amarullz.

after i flash all, and then i reboot.

There always bootloop at recovery was almost 1 hour.

and then, i try to hard reset open the battery..

After that, when i want to recovery mode again, they still bootloop.

anyone know why this happen??

Thanks for advice
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
More than likely an error with the script/rom/your flashing process. You're far better off asking in the Runnymede thread.

[Desire Android Development] p3r02d3r0:
Hi,

I probably have a stupid question for you guys, but I gotta ask it.

So, I currently have the latest ClockworkMod Recovery and a custom ROM. And I want to flash a 4EXT recovery. I never had a past experience with flashing a new recovery, so I'm new with this.

My questions are following:

1. Will I mess up my ROM by flashing a 4EXT? Do I have to do a Nandroid before flashing 4EXT?

2. If 1. is correct, and I do backup, will a normal restore do the trick in order to run my ROM properly, after I already flashed 4EXT?

3. If I wanna go back to ClockworkMod recovery, will a normal flash via ROM Manager be enough to perform that?

Many thanks.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
1 - Not at all. Recovery is a totally separate system.

2 - Nothing special required

3 - I recommend flashing via adb/android flasher when changing recovery. But yes, it's easy to change back..

[Desire Android Development] tienha:
4ext recovery can not flash Radio zip file???i tried both classic and touch version.that is note:

"amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.

amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5

it was necessary to remove it when upgradng to the clockwworkmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery.

Pls switch to Edify scripting (update script and update binary) to creat working update zip packages.

Installation aborted.

when i enable: toggle signature verification and toggle script asserts was notice:

signature verification failed,installation aborted"

Pls help,thanks:(.do i back on amon ra recovery to flash radio?and forward install 4ext :((

Can someone point me to the right recovery image to download for the cmr2 hboot?

[Desire Android Development] WatsonDue:
Just install 4ext Recovery control, it will detect your phone and it will show you the correct recovery.:D

It doesnt have a rom lol.. (long story)

I just need the recovery image to flash via fastboot both stock hboot and cmr2.

Theres quite a few to download on the front page lol
[Desire Android Development] rophaq:
it works on any Hboot.

just download the updater from the front page http://www.4ext.net/ , its an apk, or if you want more control, get the 4ext control paid version,

see first Post from Maxx, there are *.img for GSM and CDMA
[Desire Android Development] marc2040:
Deleted -> building a touch theme.
[Desire Android Development] dirkw01:
Your Radio ZIP contains 'Amend' scripting, which is kinda 'old' scripting language and therefore is NOT supported by 4EXT. The newer language is 'Edify'.

IIRC there is a script converter somewhere. Please use 'Search'.

Cheers

[Desire Android Development] kzakhar:
If I change from stock to cm7r2 hboot, the recovery stops working:

1. hangs up at "preparing boot" during the 1st reboot

2. enters some kind of recovery boot loop on the 2nd reboot and after it

The only way around it seems to be flashing another recovery. The weird thing is that going from cm7r2 to stock doesn't cause this issue.
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
You need to wipe partitions before changing hboot.

If you forgot doing that you can do the following:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

then start recovery and format your partitions.

This works with the current touch recovery version. I'm not sure if it will work on classic.
[Desire Android Development] WRson:
Hey Madmaxx82

Your recovery is really great ! No problems so far, it boots a bit slow but im ok with that ;)

There is only one thing i want to ask you: Could you please add the USB unbrick feature to the " not touch" recovery? Maybe for those who want to wait for a "not beta" touch recovery, because of any reasons. Its the only importent thing thats not included in the briliant recovery. Thank you !
[Desire Android Development] spam001:
Hi Team,

I need some help (I'm not a heavy user, understanding very little about the flashing)...

Currently I have AmonRA recovery (when I rooted the phone 1.5 years ago, I have flashed AmonRa but unfortunately I don't remember how...)

I have downloaded the updater utility, selected install. The updater has downloaded the recovery image and said: "flashing done". After entering the recovery I have realized that I still have AmonRa installed.

After detecting it, I have tried the "download only" mode using the update utility. I have entered AmonRa and selected flash ZIP from SD card and tried to flash the recovery ZIP. AmonRa sent me an error message: "Cant find update script, installation aborted".

How do I need to replace AmonRa with 4EXT. (Please be very detailed as I'm not a skilled user, just a guy who wants to create multiple partitions from recovery...)

Thank you for your help in advance,

Andrew
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
You have to be S-OFF to flash a recovery, I presume you aren't at the moment. Also, the zip package it downloads is not a flashable zip - just a regular one containing the recovery image. You have to unzip and flash via adb (but you still need to be S-OFF for this).

M.
[Desire Android Development] spam001:
Thank you for the quick reply. Could you please help me what do I need to do to be S-OFF? (And what is ADB?)
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Use this site to get S-OFF - http://revolutionary.io/

ADB isn't important.... when you've completed the S-OFF process you'll be able to flash the new recovery and just use the updater app.

[Desire Android Development] spam001:
Thank you

Thank you very much for your help: revolutionary works like a charm.

Thanks for reporting.. that's the new kernel.

Does adb work?

Will try to correct this while staying at an acceptable size.
[Desire Android Development] Bibracte:
Test OK with RC2b.

For HBOOT modified, the cache sizes are noted here: http://alpharev.nl/
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
****..

I ripped out too much of networking then..

Will recompile..

Please test it out then.

Thanks very much!
[Desire Android Development] beanbean50:
I just ran the TAP benchmark and the results speak for themselves :)
[Desire Android Development] Bibracte:
For best performance, it seems that it must be sd-ext2 1/3 of sd-ext. (e.g 768/256, 1024/341).

You can not choose with 512/1024/2048.

Thresholds should be smaller or an automatic calculation.

:D
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
I can't think of a reason why this should make a difference if the partition is perfectly aligned anyway..

Is there any serious info about that available?
[Desire Android Development] beanbean50:
I just re-aligned my FAT32 partition and ran the benchmark again and it has jumped 500 points ...wow... the best just got better... hehe :)

many thanks madmaxx82
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Great :) thnx for feedback again :D

BTW: Did you have problems before flashing the recovery and could only flash using the small version I posted earlier (the one where adb et.c. doesn't work)?

If so, could you maybe test a new version which is a bit bigger in size if that works too?
[Desire Android Development] beanbean50:
the only flashing method that worked for me was fastboot then cmd the .img (using CM7 HBOOT)

how to flash your latest smaller one through recovery?

(is there anyway to merge your program with ROM manager?)
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Okay so you had no problems flashing the version from 1st post via fastboot?

Then there's no need to use the smaller one.. also I was too quick in ripping ripped out too much that adb doesn't work with the small kernel.

I have a new one which is only slightly bigger where adb works again..

Flashing through recovery doesn't work at the moment.

What do you mean by integrating with rom manager?

You can use rom manager to install any roms et.c. while 4EXTRecovery is installed with no problems, is this what you wanted to know?
[Desire Android Development] beanbean50:
well, if I go into ROM manager it says: current recovery 2.5.0.7 and if I reboot into recovery from there I go back to the old green recovery not your new sparkling red one with many more options hehe....I have to use the power menu to reboot into your recovery
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Oh are you S-ON?
[Desire Android Development] beanbean50:
S-Off...... :)
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Sent you a pm :)
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Update!

Okay, adb problem with the small version is fixed.

Here is a slightly larger version that's still smaller than the one from 1st post.

Don't try flashing it through recovery.. won't work yet.

I hope it flashes for everyone using fastboot/Android Flasher or similar.

You can also just put it onto your sdcard, rename it to PB99IMG.zip and reboot into bootloader (if you are S-OFF)..

You can of course also extract the recovery.img and flash via fastboot :)

[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes Android Flasher will do.

Waiting for your results ;)
[Desire Android Development] freak69ize:
Android Flasher didnt work bud.. however i unzipped it and downloaded the PB99IMG file you you uploaded earlier and took the Android-info txt from it and zipped it and the cdma recovery up and am gonna try that.. should that work? Nandroiding while waiting for answer..
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hmm you can try, but there must be a bigger problem if android flasher doesn't succeed.. What was the error message?
[Desire Android Development] rophaq:
easy through fastboot.

1. unzip the recovery file you downloaded

2. put your phone into fastboot (bootloader)

3. plug your phone to usb, you'll see fastboot usb, means you got adb setup

4. tick recovery and press begin, then you pick the img you extracted

5. click open from folder where you got the img from, and android flasher will do the job. do not unplug your phone till it's booted, unplug and power, restart, recovery then you see your new recovery, thats it
[Desire Android Development] rophaq:
hi madmaxx , i see you got a new one out, the one i got yesterday on my sig , works fine, or do i have use the latest one.

cheers
[Desire Android Development] freak69ize:
Haha i dont even remember dude.. but i will try it again the way this guy jus said to and get back to ya..
[Desire Android Development] rophaq:
i see you a desire CDMA on your sig, ask madmaxx, if it works on CDMA desire,

it works on GSM
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
If you are not using 2.0.2 RC2 I would upgrade..

(I think) all bugs have been resolved with backing up some of the roms + other bug fixes + much improved and more intelligent identification of the rom name.

Should now identify all roms and backup all..
[Desire Android Development] madmaxx82:
Good idea.. when you directly use the fastboot binary you might get a more detailed error (if any)
[Desire Android Development] freak69ize:
Ok this is what i get.. Ive never been able to flash anything with Android flasher.. I have a feeling its has to do with im cdma.. idk Ive even tried different version of flasher also.

Otherwise fastboot doesn't work! This explains everything ;)

Sorry I don't know anything about the desire and where you might get an eng hboot.. but there should be one for you to flash.. maybe rophaq knows more?
