SERIOUS ISSUE on v2.4.3.0 !!

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE 2.4.3.0 to restore a partition!!!

As noted by others below, this version is unable to format (read: wipe) any partition. The biggest problem with this is that it attempts to in a restore and leaves you with a failed restore and no more partition!!

I just experienced this myself and luckily I'm S-OFF so I just downloaded v2.4.2.0 from goo.im and used the following commands:

adb reboot bootloader

and then once you see your bootloader screen with `FASTBOOT USB` displayed:

fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.4.2.0-pyramid.img

Boot TWRP, under advanced use the file manager to delete /sbin/make_ext4fs then TWRP will wipe using mke2fs instead. Unfortunately the deleted file will return after a reboot. I will fix it in the next release.

[HTC Sensation] NicoC72:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

Well right now they screwed up the wiping function, so I don't recommend TWRP unless u can flash an older version. I only use it because of the UI, file manager, and GooManager integration. However, if they don't fix the MAJOR wiping bug soon, 4ext will be the only recovery for the Sensation.

Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

Normal wiping works, but anything that calls for an ext4 wipe fails. This happens with Aroma and the super wipe scripts.

Wipe battery stats was purposely removed because it doesn't do anything useful:

[HTC Sensation] micha12435:
Hmm, ok so we can be divided.

Already had the situation that after the flash with a fully charged battery, had in his usual mode displays the battery level indicator in a relatively short time an obviously incorrect value. After a Wipe Battery, the battery condition is displayed correctly.

Well, to me at Venomrom not yet happened, obviously de battery is now charged even if you are in the recovery is, but what if that is needed but then again? 4ext back again?
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

That is not entirely true that wiping battery stats does nothing useful. While wiping battery stats does nothing to improve battery life and all this hogwash about calibrating the battery is nothing more than electronic voodoo, I have found wiping the battery stats to be an invaluable tool in diagnosing wake issues.

Sometimes I want to know if there is a wake lock situation, and not just the total amount of wake, but the times it occurred. Sometimes you can see patterns in the wakes while the screen is off on the battery graph that are very useful in figuring out that you've got something going.

But if you are trying to look at that graph after your your graph is already showing a day since unplugged, its too smooshed to read anything valuable off of it. But am quick wipe of the battery stats gives you an fresh graph to look at, where everything is nice and spaced out and you can really see when the wake locks occurred and when.

[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
Hmm.. Sorry for my really noobish questions here, but as far as i'm seeing on others comments there are really no comment that really points out to my questions. Because i like the progress bar that i saw on some of my friend android that using twrp, it really make me interested because i love recovery that have progress bar so that you can see how far it is going

Here is my questions:

1. Can i just flash this recovery with the instructions with the goo.manager with already having 4ext recovery? Or just flashing it directly from my 4ext?

2. So the wiping bug has been fixed or not yet? Might feel to try this recovery if it is not having any bugs.

3. If i flash this recovery will i have 2 recovery? The twrp and 4ext?

4. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this recovery with 4ext?

I'm really curios on it. So sorry for maybe the disturbing questions. I'm just trying to be polite to the devs and doesn't want to bother them with a lot of bugs or any problem because i know the devs will try to make it better. That's why i'm asking this. :o
[HTC Sensation] NicoC72:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

1. Just go into Goo.Manager, hit the options button, and install openscript recovery.

2. There is currently a dirty fix in place for the ext4 wiping bug. It seems slower and anything that uses ext4 wiping (Aroma installers and super wipes) will just fail. But manually wiping through the recovery itself works fine.

3. Nope, just TWRP. You can always switch back to 4Ext by using their app.

4. Different UI, progress bar, and it's faster (even with the dirty fix).
[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

So if i change to this recovery sir, is there any disadvantage that affect rom flashing if i flash the rom with this recovery instead of using the 4ext? Or is it the same as 4ext?

Your answer on no 2. What you meant is that if i flash something with aroma that have option like wiping it will get error? I'm sorry i didn't catch what you meant there

Thanks btw for you answer mister :)

Sent from my HTC Sensation using Xparent Green Tapatalk 2
[HTC Sensation] NicoC72:
It depends on what ROM your flashing. Something like ViperS or ARHD won't flash correctly because the Aroma installer is telling the recovery to wipe the partitions using ext4, but ext4 wiping and formating is broken in the newest TWRP recoveries for the Sensation. However, something like Bruce's CM10 or Albino's CM10.1 don't use Aroma, so you have to wipe the partitions manually through the recovery, this works fine. I hope I didn't make anything to complicated :silly:
[HTC Sensation] reddvilzz:
Re: [RECOVERY] TWRP 2.4.4.0 touch recovery [2013-03-12]

Not very confusing though :p

So if some installation are using aroma i need to wipe manually using the recovery? Not using the option in the aroma is it?

[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
Changelog doesn't mention anything about ext4 wiping or formatting issue being resolved. Haven't tried it myself. Hoping it's fixed and just didn't make it into the official changelog.
[HTC Sensation] NicoC72:
Change log seems kind of general for the entire recovery project, will go try flashing a ROM or two and get back to you all.

EDIT: So apparently, TWRP won't install through GooManager well using ViperS JB. Keeps booting back into 4EXT... I'll try restoring CM 10.1 and see if that fixes the issue.
[HTC Sensation] NicoC72:
Ok, got TWRP working (GooManager doesn't like ViperS JB for some reason) and it's still using mke2fs instead of ext4. Can't wait for the dev's to fix this issue, 4EXT is really slow and the UI is bulky in my opinion.
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
Is the bug even officially logged?
[HTC Sensation] NicoC72:
The devs know about it, as it was mentioned many times here and they even helped me get into mke2fs mode when ext4 failed. I guess they "fixed" it by scrapping the ext4 system and changing to the mke2fs system :confused:
[HTC Sensation] Sultanxda:
Everything is working perfectly for me on 2.5.0.0 (and the new features are awesome :D). Thanks for the update, Dees :good:

[HTC Sensation] evetsno1:
Screen still goes black and when you wake it up it is at recovery lock screen when in use.
[HTC Sensation] Dees_Troy:
mke2fs is perfectly capable of creating an ext4 file system so I am not really sure what issues you still believe that you have. There shouldn't be any problems unless you try to install a zip that tries to call the now nonexistent make_ext4fs binary.
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
So, the real fix would be for the ROM or mod installer to use mke2fs -t ext4 instead of make_ext4fs?
[HTC Sensation] Dees_Troy:
That or I can try to migrate the Sensation up to a newer build tree which I kind of need to do anyway. I'm still building Sensation in CM7 and I'm probably going to deprecate support for any devices still on CM7 before our next major release. A newer build tree means a newer copy of make_ext4fs which will hopefully work better than the one included in CM7. I don't have a Sensation though so it's hard for me to migrate it and ensure that everything is working.
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
I would think there would be a good number of sensation owners in these forums who are currently using TWRP and who would be willing to help test a TWRP from a newer build tree.

[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
You can use twrp on your device, however if you would like to take advantage of custom OTA updates what plenty of custom roms come with, you must use 4EXT recovery. As far as I'm aware this is the only recovery supports this feature on the Sensation at the moment. Also if your device is S-ON there is an option in 4EXT called "Smartflash" what flashes the boot partition automatically. That means you don't have to flash it through fastboot after every rom install. It's really straight forward, you will be familiar with it in minutes. Enjoy your phone! ;)
[HTC Sensation] ceyo14:

---------- Post added at 11:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

I know, but it isnt needed. Because the boot isnt like system or data partition. In the system your write files instead of boot. In the boot you flash an entire partition image so every time it's wiped and flashed with new boot.img
[HTC Sensation] ceyo14:
Well some times it is needed. I remember when I wanted to try viper s ROM. It would not boot at all. It wasn't until after weeks of not wanting to admit that it was my recovery, that I finally changed it and I wiped boot and it worked. The same file I tried before. Same one. MD5 was verified and checked everything. I even tried to use twrps terminal to wipe it but the. Command had to be very specific and wasn't able too.
[HTC Sensation] tdimarzio:
This is interesting. I'd like to hear Dees_Troy comment on this and boot partition wiping.

When you successfully rooted your phone, you need to install a recovery like TWRP (use the download on the first side of this thread, it's the latest working version). But if you want to install a KitKat ROM (like Cyanogenmod 11), you have to use 4Ext recovery instead (via 4EXT Recovery Updater).
