I think the problem is they format the cache partition in the last step, which causes the error. The recovery reports it too, missing recovery.log etc.
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
Guys, thanks so much for your support!;-) there must be something in their full wipe zip..because flash the ROM with formats is actually the best way..wipe and format are not the same thing..

However, I want just to clarify that the rom was fully working even with that error...but still sounds weird..with others rom there are no problems at all..by the way, thanks Guys;-)

What i always do when I want to full wipe and flash a rom is:

1) Wipe cache

2) Wipe Dalvik cache

3) Perform the full-wipe each dev provides

4) Flash the rom

Until now everything has worked flawlessly (fingers crossed) :D
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
So..you've done:

Format system, data, cache (ext3 or 4)?

Then flashed honey full wipe

Then flashed the rom

Am I right?

[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
You might need to use their wipe script.

They format your partitions ext4 when I remember correctly + they extract build.prop to /system (in this wipe script)

Apaquette just used the wipe script from Honey HD and had no problems flashing it.
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
extract build.prop to /system (in this wipe script)

BINGO!:D that's the reason why formatting doesn't properly as always and recovery (that's perfect) tells you that..

[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
ok..just tried with their full wipe and it works...full wipe format all partitions (system,data,cache) as ext4..my fs was already on ext4...so the "problem" is in the build prop inside their full wipe...I don't have the knowledge to understand what is changed from other full wipes (cause also other full wipes install build prop in system)...If someone can chek why this full wipe is diffrent from the others, please let me know!

Thanks again:D

Was hesitant on flashing this. Messing with recovery honestly scared me, but after being talked into it (thanks fellow ninjas) I installed it on my HTC Inspire. It works great! Thanks!
[Desire HD Android Development] fidorulz:
Tried going back to CM7 backups I had made prior to using this recovery with ARHD 5.2.1/5.2.2. Now all my backups made prior to the new recovery(6 of them) say MD5 mismatch

Is there any way for me to fix this without starting from scratch?

Yes im using the 4EXTRecovery v2.1.0 FINAL version

any ideas
[Desire HD Android Development] RiNo808:
Okay, i got a noob question, so i just flash this via reovery? say for instance CWM recovery. Another thing is will i still be able to flash my nandroid backups made by CWM? thanks in advanced...
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you!

This has nothing to do with any recovery version.

Those files got corrupted. Probably only slightly.

BTW: md5sum generation is done by an external script. Not by the recovery itself.

Md5sum checking is also "foreign" code.

What you can do though is:

The only thing you really need of those backups is /data.. /cache is unimportant anyway and /system can easily be recreated by flashing the rom!

So..

Open the file nandroid.md5 in the directory of your sdcard where this backup is located..

You will see all the filenames the backup consists of. Like data system cache et.c.

and their md5sum.

Just manually edit the file for all partitions (even those you do not need) and insert the NOW correct md5sums.

Then this backup will restore!

I'd do it that way: flash the rom this backup belongs to. Then advanced restore only /data..

Good luck!

And after that, check your sdcard for errors!
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes and yes :)
[Desire HD Android Development] memnoc:
Mmm..pretty smart solution;-)

Thanks ill try it but I find it odd that this only occurred after the recovery was changed.

I did a backup and restore prior to changing and right after that is when the issue started
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
:D

My recovery doesn't destroy filesystems on sdcards ;)

Just flash CWMR and try to restore these backups.. you will see it won't work either.

And please repair your fat32 filesystem! So that this doesn't happen again immediately.
[Desire HD Android Development] :
I did the one ryt at the bottom, wipe/format all
[Desire HD Android Development] g3ismeee:
Just over here poking sticks in the brush to see what's over here...I'm in the same position as you earlier...good to see an Inspire owner report success. It looks like a good thing. Ramping up courage now...Virtuous courage as opposed to Ninja courage...gonna have to try Ninja someday btw you all seem pretty happy with it like us Virtuous users seem happy with VU...

Edit: Flashed and adopted. No issues. Thank you and good job. This is nice :)
[Desire HD Android Development] :
I'm a newbie in these things and i'm a little confuse.

I don't use any partition in my sd card, so can i flash this using CWM even then?

Thx ;)

How restore old recovery? restoring backup or via adb?
[Desire HD Android Development] mohammadsp:
use rom manager

tried to restore a backed up rom (which had no problem in clockwork recovery) and the restore completed but when it fires up after the htc logo the phone restarts and goes to recovery :confused:

what's the problem?
[Desire HD Android Development] RiNo808:
As for themes, do I have to uninstall a loaded theme before I flash another theme, or can I just flash themes over themes? Thanks on advanced...

Sent via HoneyUnity 1.0 Inspired
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Yeah come try Ninja sometime. We have a great community over here. I've hear really great things about vu as well.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes of course :)

Just flash it like any other rom!

Just use rom manager and select install.. it will install cwmr.

Hi,

when a flashable zip of a theme is correctly made, think all are, then it's enough to flash them after another.. no need to uninstall them ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] g3ismeee:
You should post this over in the Inspire forum. This is really nice work.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
I don't understand you completely.

A phone that reboots straight to recovery?!?

About any restore problems of earlier roms:

Check your partitions.. are they the same as when you created the backup?

A rom that needs sd-ext won't restore completely if you have no sd-ext partition anymore at the time your restore that backup.

The same is true if the sizes are completely different and it doesn't fit anymore.

Also does this rom expect ext4 on the partitions?

If so, convert the backup before restoring it, or your partitions afterwards to ext4.

If 4ext doesn't find any extended info in the backup folder (from old backups) it has no chance knowing the file system you had when you created the backup. So it will always use the most compatible filesystem which is ext3.

That's the same behaviour as with a completely standard cwmr, which always restores anything to ext3.

If you want to migrate an old backup to ext4, just visit the 4ext menu.
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
thank you very much :)

@madmaxx, I asked to @Samuel from honey unity thread and he (not actually "he") said that our problem is linked to the updater script..thanks to your recovery, we can now detect this kinda problem;-) what a powerful tool you give us;-)

Thanks for your fantastic work!

Certainly the best recovery so far.

I just remarqued an incongruity : the system partition seems to remain mounted after fixing permissions.
[Desire HD Android Development] fshami:
i flashed it using one click method. How do i enter the recovery menu? :(
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you!

I never modified any code that is used by fix permissions.. this is plain CWMR 4.0.0.5..

Just like you would enter any other recovery..

Use any advanced power menu addon for your rom, use adb reboot recovery, start into bootloader and select recovery.. or even use rom manager to do that ;)
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Just hit a brick wall tried to flash Rom I built it went into bootloop so I thought it was my fault tried to restore backup once again bootloop so did full wipe again and tried to flash previous working Rom I built still bootloop ended up having to flash leedriod Rom and that worked any ideas ?
[Desire HD Android Development] fshami:
Ok, i am completely puzzled now. Whenever i try to boot into recovery, i see that silly triangle.. even if i use rom manager i get the same thing.

My device is S-OFF & rooted, ROM is 2.36.405.8. What else do i need?
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Please do that again in recovery and then send me the recovery.log to the mail address in my sig.

Let's debug what's the problem by mail, it's easier with all the files.

also please send me a link to your rom or updater-script.

How did you install it?
[Desire HD Android Development] leith51:
Will do later mate once I'm back home
[Desire HD Android Development] fshami:

when I rebooted the phone the green htc logo was shown

then phone reboots automatically

and went to recovery

Are you able to install CWMR and boot into it?

Sorry I cannot help you with this one.

I've never heard of a phone that reboots automatically into recovery.

Maybe someone else knows more.

[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
Was curious about that as well
[Desire HD Android Development] harpo1:
Whenever it converts it just moves the data, formats then moves back so I would say you should be good to go. If you have ever converted before and watched it you'd notice it checks to make sure you have enough free space before the conversion begins.

Worked beautifully. Thanks for the confidence boost to go for it. This recovery rocks.

Hi guys,

I have just one question:

Which lines do I have to change so that it can work with this recovery ???

show_progress(0.500000, 0);

ui_print("Installing system files ...");
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");
delete("/system/bin/su");
delete("/system/xbin/su");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
set_perm(0, 0, 06755, "/system/xbin/su");
symlink("/system/xbin/su", "/system/bin/su");
set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system/app");
unmount("/system");

show_progress(0.100000, 0);
ui_print("Done.");

Thank you very much...
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

will never do anything because /system is either "ext3" or "ext4"

Take a look on how the others mount /system in their updater-scripts,

or you can just stay completely compatible with anything and just use

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");

[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi,

I'm currently working on the next "bigger" release where I hope to include most/all the requests you've made, somce improvements and more options.

For the meanwhile, here is a very small update, because some of you are in need of more different sizing options for partitioning.

There is also a new menu item in the 4EXT menu where you can reload your themes.

This might be most useful for themers who don't need to reboot recovery all the time now just to see any changes they have made.

You would need to remove the last line of the updater-scripts of the flashable theme zips, because this line reboots recovery automatically and would render this option useless.

Anyone who doesn't need those 2 changes, really doesn't need to upgrade..

Update: due to a missing "," :D there was one very strange size option to chose from in the partition menu. Sorry, here is the fixed update:

4EXTRecovery_v2.1.1b_ace.zip, md5sum: 2e0db99be06b1cb4282e67b60485f0c0

4EXTRecovery_v2.1.1b_ace_OneClick.zip, md5sum: d630068ba01ece704f79cad9aec41123
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
I've made some themes for some people. If I go ahead and delete that file will the theme still work if someone flashed it on a non updated version of this recovery?
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Which file do you mean?
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:
I meant by file was the last line of the updater-scripts but after I posted the question I started to think and I think I answered my own poorly asked question lol
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
I'd only use that for your own testing, because many ppl won't have 2.1.1 and so no reload menu item.
[Desire HD Android Development] cwhitney24:

whats wrong with the failed MD5 checks?... I've used the latest final release for some time now, but it fails everytime when it checks the md5, not the first time either, 2 different roms and backups fails, but only the second backup worked after a 3rd try of MD5 check, the first backup is now rendered useless, and i have no idea why, though i'll jump back to CWM again awaiting fixes, really need my nand backups :P
[Desire HD Android Development] madmaxx82:
Strange, please check your sdcard fat32 fs for errors!

Can really only think of file system errors that produce either faulty backup files, or corrupt them later on so the check fails.

md5checking is untouched and the same as in CWMR 4.0.0.5.

If you want you could check/repair your fat32 partition, make a backup and see if the md5sum checks don't fail then.

But if changing to CWMR solves your problem, then it might be best to do that.

But it would be good to find out what problem you have there..

This version has been downloaded >10.000x.. if there was really a bug that destroys any backup you create, then there would be hundreds of posts.

There must be something affecting only some users.. would be good to know what. But again this is no 4ext code..still if there is really a problem it needs fixing nonetheless.

Edit: btw, there were cwmr versions where the md5sum check always succeeded, no matter if it matched or not.
[Desire HD Android Development] DanteGR:
With v2.1.0 Final I made several backups and then restored them with success my friend. md5 checking was fine.
