madmaxx82, great recovery and updater app! i noticed today when using the 4ext recovery control, it doesnt show the latest version from today. Manually checking for updates showed a notification that a new update is available but the download isnt available. Maybe the servers haven't been updated yet? Thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks for reporting back :)

Currently compiling the last version and uploading in a few minutes :)
[Desire HD Android Development] John_Blaze:
Recovery or App? :D
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hey bud :)

Both!
[Desire HD Android Development] John_Blaze:
Ok i will check. ;)

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Oh yea.. i had the same problem i had awhile back with app saying it needed S-OFF

I excluded it from superuser and it worked again.. but wasnt there something else we did to? I dont remember
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
LOL, I like the notification if you check for updates in the app. "New versions in a few minutes!" :)

Wait, hang on, it's not saying it now. Did I dream it? :D
[Desire HD Android Development] John_Blaze:
Hahaha no you didnt dream it..;)
[Desire HD Android Development] cire216:
Update running flawlessly here, thanks!

Sent from my Inspire 4g, using the xda premium app.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you :)

Does anyone know someone with a MyTouch4G who would try 4EXT Recovery?
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
Awesome changelog, too, for both the app and recovery. Filename handling, checking for free space, etc., etc. Great stuff.
[Desire HD Android Development] Wacco001:
Yups.. here too ... great changelog and nice smooth update !! Thank you !! :)

Cheers,
[Desire HD Android Development] Wolf:
I can't believe we are forced to flash a new recovery! Unbelievable! Just kidding. Thanks for the updates. Great as usual.
[Desire HD Android Development] c0de_junkie:
hey maxx, i think i may have just found a small bug with newest rc build......

i just used the latest app to flash the latest rc build and when i went to recovery everything was the way it is expected to be, but after installing a theme package and then clearing my cache, I seem to get some strange txt at the top.... check out this screen....

if you need any more info from me they i will try to help you out but im not sure what more i could tell you....

oh and sorry there has been no reply to your PM yet, but i will a lil later tonight.... i have a few ideas that you may like......

take care
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you all :)

Hey :)

I don't think that has anything to do with the new recovery version.. this sure looks very strange.

What script did you flash there? Is that effect still there when you reboot recovery?

Edit: no this can't have anything to do with the recovery version.

And thanks!

Take care too and read later :)
[Desire HD Android Development] c0de_junkie:
the 2 things that i flashed in that session of recovery were as follows......first file was a new theme that i have been making and the second file was the "optional - wipe cache and dalvik to ext4".... which can be found in the lee droid thread.....

the new theme file is using an archive with an updater-script that i use in all my themes, and the second file i have been using since Lee put it out like almost 9 months ago, i use it every time i flash a new rom or a new theme.... must have used it a 1000 times with your recovery by now... so not sure how it can be either of those files because i have never seen anything like that before in recovery after using them.... and you know me...lol.... i just flashed your new recovery so i was paying extra attention to everything.... after rebooting into recovery the strange text is gone......

im thinking it is something to do with the name of the latest recovery or something like that.... maybe that file that i flashed made recovery not recognize the version name of 4ext or something along those lines.....

i flashed back to older recovery and flash both of those files again and nothing happen, all looked the way that it should, so i flashed back to latest rc build and then flash both files again.... this time the same thing happened, except this time the letters and characters where a lil bit different.... but basically the same thing happened when i did it the first time, but it did not happen again when i did it with v2.1.6 RC2
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Can you flash the newest again, maybe 2 times in a row and try it again please?

There is no way I can think of that this effect could be version dependent.
[Desire HD Android Development] c0de_junkie:
will do..

will report back on my findings in about 10 min

---------- Post added at 02:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

ok here goes....

i flashed 5 different versions to test this prob....

2.2.6 RC4, 2.2.6 RC3, 2.2.1, 2.2.0, and last but not least back to 2.1.6 RC3

after flashing each of these versions 2 times each with the app i then went into recovery and flash the 2 files that i originally flashed....

2.2.6 RC3, 2.2.1, 2.2.0, and 2.1.6 RC3 versions worked the exact way that they are supposed to and there was no strange text at the top.......

but when i flashed the same 2 files on v2.2.6 RC4 again(I also flashed this recovery img with the app, 2 times in a row as suggested) and when i get back to the main menu of recovery I get the strange text at the top were the recovery version is normally listed.....

Im not really sure what is going on here, and i wish i had that 1 key bit of information that would help to solve this problem ...... but please let me know if you need anything else that you would like for me to try out for you....
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much for all the tests you have made!

I guess I know what it is.

Only cosmetic. Will fix those nice characters in the title once I get up in a few hours.. need some sleep now as it is already 8am :(
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Fixed.. couldn't resist :D

Same version number though.. so anyone who doesn't like that effect so much, please just reflash.
[Desire HD Android Development] semsem1969:
hello,

i 've been using this recovery since you made the first version i even bought the paid version to support .

so far back up and restore has never fail me until i upgrade and when i went to restore it could not do it (md5sums mismatch)

i really needed that back up and i read the first post about that i can force or fix it but it seems that i can get it.

in another way it will go for fix and will give a message that all md5sums match.this back up is ok. then when i click on restore .it bring me to recovery and do nothing (md5 mismatch).

EDIT: just made a new back up and restore was no good many fc ......

thanks
[Desire HD Android Development] lyzanxia:
I keep getting the error "Failure, Could not write commands file! Superuser problem?"

Am using 4ext recovery control 2.0.1 and v2.2.6rc4.

Updated with the su zip file posted here, no solution.

Updated su with the latest 3.0 from market, no solution.

Cleared data from su, no solution.

App is allowed in su, verified this (can connect to 4ext servers for updates)

This started happening after i updated to 2.0.1

It happens after recovery control asks to reboot to recovery to execute its operation (no matter what, restore, backup, install a zip from sd).

When you manually reboot to recovery after this error, the operation you chose executes properly.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks! (love the app)
[Desire HD Android Development] appelsson:
I've also noticed this problem, so confirm it's not a single user bug...
[Desire HD Android Development] spike_uk:
I get the same thing
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi,

Please check and correct errors on your sdcard!

Thanks for the reports about that bug inside the app.

It's bad that I cannot reproduce it.

Would anyone of you care to try a probably fixed version? I can only guess what might not work on all setups and change that.

That would be great! As I need someone with that problem to confirm it's working then ;)

Will work on that matter now.
[Desire HD Android Development] hypnz:
Well I downloaded free version of it and download the missing files from site and whatever selection I do fc.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Strange!

Will send you a pm now.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Problem solved :)

Will upload the updated App shortly.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Updates with the fix is online :)

Also improved handling of su (popups greatly reduced on most setups.)
[Desire HD Android Development] spike_uk:
Thank you the update sorted the problem out
[Desire HD Android Development] John_Blaze:
Cant get recovery to make a backup bud.. keeps saying cant mount system
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
That's bad!

Please post in the desire forum, otherwise my brain gets mixed up :D
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Just in case something like a custom mtd also exists on the Desire HD:

Please, when you have a cmtd, you need to re patch recovery everytime when you flash any new recovery.

Otherwise it can't work!

I don't know if I should add that notice to the app.. it would confuse a lot of people.. hmm..
[Desire HD Android Development] c0de_junkie:
lol i figured you wouldn't go to sleep lol thanks for the hard work man!!!
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
hahaha, thanks for reporting that and for all the testing :)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
I'm very disappointed that noone ever found the easter egg I have been hiding inside recovery since about 2 months :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Patrics83:
Hmm...

*Reload theme?

*Reboot in to bootloader?

*PayPal donation button?

Sent from my HTC Desire HD
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
:D one more try.. but I suspect you will need a lot more.
[Desire HD Android Development] inzaghi75:
What do you mean madmaxx? easter egg??
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes, it's inside recovery, but not visible.
[Desire HD Android Development] inzaghi75:
heeeee :rolleyes::confused:
[Desire HD Android Development] Whiskey103:
Wtf, my HTC ***** without clothes, cool ;)

Where did you find that? :D :D
[Desire HD Android Development] ruchern:
Does it appear in the paid and free version?
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
:D

It's inside recovery. There is no paid version of recovery.
[Desire HD Android Development] sugardaddy1979:
4ext ng postponed?
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
It has everything to do with 4ext ng, yes :D But it's not the message, it's no text.
[Desire HD Android Development] draxterix:
Hey ....

I search recovery.img

in first post is version 4EXTRecovery_v2.1.0_ace.zip

I have installed 2.1.6 .... wheare i`m find this version? or 2.2.6

Please help my... I`m editnig recovery and error ...
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
You can get all versions using the updater app. You can flash them or download them.
[Desire HD Android Development] preacher65:
Any chance that when I open a zip file, 4EXT Recovery Control could be listed on the "Complete this action using" pop-up, like RM is?

Would be handy to download zips from Tapatalk and just go straight to the options for flashing them. :)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hey ;)

Good suggestion will do it!
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Some imes when I select an option from within the 4ext control (i.e new backup or Install) generally something that requires reboot into recovery, the system fails to boot into recovery, the screen stays black and the button lights are on. I need to pull the battery to fix this.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Which version of the app are u using?
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Latest app from market and latest recovery.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Send me a bugreport including all logs please. After you rebooted into recovery and that failed!

First report of this, need to take a closer look.
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Ok I just did. I entered recovery manually and backup started automatically.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks, but please send me the report after it failed..

This is the recovery.log from when you entered it manually.

Please do it again and then boot your rom and send me the report :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Spyr0s:
This happens also with Recovery Manager and i think its a super user problem. If Superuser prompts you for the first time and you press "Allow" then phone stays in black scree, if you press "decline" and then go to the App list in Superuser and change to allow then it works all the time.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks :)

You mean Rom Manager I guess :D

I think it's different though with his problem.

I guess the reboot binary the app downloads and saves on the sdcard got corrupted. It checks its md5sums only after it was downloaded..

I will include it inside the apk for the next update.

It was already on my todo list. It was only a matter of time this happened for someone I guess.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks got the next one.

It's definitely the one.

Should be fixed for you in the next update (hopefully during the next 2-6 hours)
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
I tried again but now it works. This doesn't happen always but only 1 out of 5 times that I try to backup. I copied the log to sdcard and resnt it to you and that was after failure but backup was already taken since manual entering recovery.

I'm not sure that this is what you want me to do but I hope it helps.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
I'm very certain the problem is with a corrupted reboot binary.

However if you want to help me get more accurate info, please try to reproduce the error.

Then after it didn't work, DON'T enter recovery manually.

You don't need to copy the recovery.log

Just boot your phone and send the report selecting to attach the last log. ;)

It doesn't search for the log on your sdcard at all.

It fetches it from /cache
[Desire HD Android Development] andreasy:
Ok, so next time it happens I will do the following:

1) Pull battery and let it start

2) Repeat the procedure for sending logs before I do anything else and without copying to sd.

3) After that I can enter recovery to let it backup.

If that's correct, I'll try a few more backups and send the logs when it happens again.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes! Exactly :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Spyr0s:
Yeah that, since i started using your recovery i forgot the name :p
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
:D

Update is nearly ready.. changes quite a bit, but will release it tomorrow just in case there are problems and I need to respond quickly :D
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
If anyone wants to try the beta of tomorrow's update, it's here:

www.4ext.net/4EXTRecoveryControl.apk

Added the app to the (zip)file open dialogues n as requested by Preacher65 and improved performance of some actions. It's also not necessary anymore to download any auxiliary files :)

Still need to add another feature and look through the code once more carefully :D

It will tell you that there is an update for the app available, but that's not true ;) Just ignore that.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
App updated, new features per request:

- remount system rw/ro

- add to the context menu when a zip file is selected in file managers

- no need to download auxiliaries anymore

- bugfixes :)
[Desire HD Android Development] Wolf:
Thanks. Much appreciated.
[Desire HD Android Development] appelsson:
well, it's not the best update...

updated from previous version, and partition info doesn't work, such as any option from power menu (when tap to reboot into recovery it doesn't work)...uninstalled and installed again, but same problem...

revert back to previous and everything works fine...

(at the moment my rom is the latest official leaked sense 3.0 from proxuser)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Please remove the app from superuser and try again.
[Desire HD Android Development] napster113:
Could someone please tell me where I need to put my image to replace the background image in recovery thank you :D
[Desire HD Android Development] Wacco001:
Just to inform/confirm that above mentioned issues do

[Desire HD Android Development] appelsson:
I did it, but 4ext doesn't ask for su permissions, so this is the problem...rebooted, uninstalled, installed but doesn't ask for su...restored 2.0.3 with titanium backup, and it asked for su and all option works fine...updated to 2.0.4 and same problem again...
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Could you please send me a bugreport?

If such problems occur, then please send me one. That way I can get more info that can help me find the problem.

Thank you! We will fix that :)
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Ok I will give a separate function a try ;)

Overclocking would be possible, but that would be difficult to do, since we'd need to have configurable settings for that so the recovery doesn't crash for people who's phones don't run stable at a given frequency..
[Desire HD Android Development] vitodecataldo:
Will Be possible to have multiboot?
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
What do you mean with multiboot regarding recovery?
[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
i have a very strange issue:

sometimes when i am in the menu and try to press the power button activate an entry i get the message "back button disabled". then the power button allways brings me back, no matter where i am. no entry is selectable then.

on the first time after a while it reverted to normal, but now i am stuck at this, not able to select anything.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes I also tapped into this "trap" a few times :D

Though it's very rare.. but this is a "feature" of CWMR :D

I will disable this!

[Desire HD Android Development] a user:
thanks. quite stupid thing because it is not intuitive nor do you get a hint how to solve it. has it any purpose?
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
It might have had some purpose once..

Also some functions you use in recovery might disable it while executed which can make sense. But this isn't the same location in the code, since you don't trigger it by some key combinations..
[Desire HD Android Development] LorD ClockaN:

Haptic Feedback

Dear madmaxx82,

A small question .. :)

Did you have any reports of the Haptic Feedback in 4EXT Recovery v.2.2.6 RC5 still working eventhough unselected in 4EXT Recovery Control 2.0.7 - Recovery - (menu) - 4EXTRecovery settings - Haptic Feedback ? :D

(Atm. mine still works despite unselecting)

Cheers,
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hey ;)

I forgot to include the code in the initial compile :p

I updated recovery ~2hours after the release.

Just reflash and it should work :)

Must have been toooooooo quick with initial updating .. :p

Thanks for your quick reply !!
