I installed 4EXT to see what file systems OMFGB used. Then I heard HTC released an OTA of 2.3.4 and I wanted to see it so I restored my 2 week old HTC backup, then I did the OTA update. When it went to install the OTA update it rebooted and all I saw was the 4EXT logo and it wouldn't do anything.

After 3 tries I just went to recovery (holding power and volume) and just went back to my OMFGB backup. All is good now, I didn't really care much about HTC's update anyway (although I did notice how damn smooth HTC's firmware is, I forgot how much smoother their web browser is:rolleyes:)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
you need to have the stock recovery installed if you want to accept the OTA.. I suggest u use RMK's rooted version of it..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Ahh I see, so original OTA updates might fail.

Thank you!

4ext should boot nonetheless..

I hope not many ppl use ota updates from htc :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Didn't know there was a rooted version for the original recovery!

That's very useful thank you!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Matt Devo:
I think you misunderstood (or your phrasing is just off). OTA updates can only be installed by the stock recovery. If you are rooted and running a non-stock recovery (CWM, 4EXT, etc), then you should install the pre-rooted version of the latest OTA update (4.08.605.xx), which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1161411
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Indeed :D

I misunderstood completely!

It's been so long that I got in touch with ota updates that I completely forgot about that. :o
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
App updated, some little features per request:

- remount system rw/ro

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bluedegeon:
Which app was updated, free or premium? Or both? lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Both!

I always update both of them ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
Your the best max
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Oh, thank you :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Updated recovery and app with some minor fixes ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] black.v00d00:
how do I install the recovery? I downloaded the app and it said it flashed it but then when I go into my recovery its still Clockworkmod recovery
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Hi!

You can use the app to download the recovery and flash it manually too.

But if there was really a bug (didn't have any report about that yet though), then I'd like to fix it asap! So could you please once more flash it using the app AND send me a report using the app immediately after you flashed it?

Thanks :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] black.v00d00:
I uninstalled the app then reinstalled it onto my phone and then the recovery flashed fine. It must have been a bad download or something. this recovery is awesome. thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication to the community. it is people like you who make android great.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much for that very nice reply :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Version 2.2.7 RC3 with lots of minor fixes and changes online :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bluedegeon:
Sweet. Got paid just in time lol
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
Hey guys ,

Thanks for this good recovery first and second i want ask you where is the link to download it ?

Sorry i have found them but didn't see.

EDIT : forgive me , i finally get it working .
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
:D

You need to install the updater app :)

That way you can flash it directly, or download only.. you can read all changelogs and known issues conveniently, all downloads will be automatically md5 verified and you get a notification (only when you are inside the app, there is nothing running in the background) if there have been new issues found with a newly released version.

You can also send a bugreport and optionally tick a box to include your last recovery log automatically and so on.

It is completely free without ads or any other bull**** :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zozor:
Thanks , I will have a try now
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] AZKJS:
I had heard that EXT 4 was way faster Don't know how much faster it is but DAMN my phone loads up from off in less than half the time it used to.

NEW METRO STYLE THEME WITH RETOUCHED METRO ICONS..

Best 4EXT Theme..LOOKS AWESOME

Black Rounded Header and ICONS for each option..

You will fall in love :):) Get Here
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Thanks a 4th time :D

New update: RC4 is online.

Disable progress indicators for tar backup/restore for a bit more speed.

Api extension for md5sum checks inside the app..

Please see changelogs inside the app for a complete changelog :)

New App features too: Check md5sums inside the app instead of in recovery (preventing reboots into recovery only to find out that the backup fails the md5sum check.)

This also prevents situations where you might have wiped before a restore and are now left without a working system (because the backup you wanted to restore fails the check).

Themes: You can now set the colour for the selection bar and also apply transparency to all colours used.

Feature for theme creators: setup all colours until they are how you want them to be and then export those settings to be used in your theme zip.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Sorry I had to release another update.

In RC4 -on the myTouch 4G, Desire Z / G2 and Incredible S / 2- I had missed to include icons those devices display when being charged offmode.

It is exactly the same as RC4, but includes those icons.

New Token_Style_Smiling_Love_Theme OUT..

Check It Out :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bluedegeon:
Each time I wipe everything (except sd) to install a new rom, it resets my theme. Is this normal? Not a big deal I keep the theme on my sd card anyways lol, was just curious
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Hi, yes it is normal because the theme is saved on /system

But you can enable the option "preserve theme" so recovery will backup your theme and restore it in the background automatically each time it is needed.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bluedegeon:
Ah ok that makes sense. Thanks! :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] lodxcol:
So does this format my file system in EXT4? How do I find out if I already have EXT4? Is this recovery a replacement of CWM or different? How do I flash this, through the bootloader? Thank you
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] bluedegeon:
Yes it formats to EXT4. You download the app, free or paid, browse the recoveries then download/install. It will flash it for you replacing CWM. In the recovery it tells you what your current file system is which may be ext3. You can use the recovery to convert your file system to EXT4. Its really easy to do.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] yurilebbie:
Is it possible to enable 4ext on a Rom if it does not initially work?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Hi!

I have answered a lot of questions in the desire s thread, you could look at it:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18565951&postcount=437

Regarding 4ext, you mean ext4 I suppose.

Just flashing and using 4ext recovery doesn't change your file systems on your partitions. The most important aspect is that it preserves your file system types you currently have, unless you tell it to do otherwise, by either telling it to format a partition with a file system of your choice, converting a partition between ext3 <-> ext4, or flagging an existing backup as ext4.

Regarding your question about the rom: if the rom supports ext4 (which most should, there is for example no custom rom on the Incredible S or Desire S boards that doesn't) you can convert your ext3 partitions if you have any to ext4 without data loss.

If you don't know whether your rom /kernel support the ext4 file system you can either try to find out first :D or do the conversion.. if the rom then failed to boot, just convert back to ext3.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] yurilebbie:
I am using rmks rom which is basically stock and it bootloops which is not surprising, is there a way to edit the Rom to allow 4ext to work?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
You mean ext4 file system I guess.

Yes there is a way. Maybe changing the kernel is sufficient, if not you would also need to edit any files that mount the file system specifying ext3 (the init.rc files for example)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] yurilebbie:
Yeah sorry I did mean ext4, and only changing the kernel does not work. I will try messing with the files
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scott7044:
I have read this whole thread and still question if I should convert my ext3 partitions to ext4. I have only been flashing AOPS roms (Liquid Smooth, CM7, Pool Party and OMFGB). Currently my system is ext4, data and cache are ext3 and sd card is fat32.

My other question is about partitioning the sd card. Should I do it, how many different partitions should I create, does partitioning effect where I would place zip files when flashing a new rom, what are the reasons to partition or not, should new partitions be ext3 or ext4?

Thank you for all the replies I know I will get. If you want to give me more info than I asked feel free, I want to understand the differences between ext3 and ext4 and the reasons for partitioning sd card and using the sd card after partition.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] loki154:
Why would you partition the SD card? It's fine as is
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
The only reason I could see putting a partion on the SD card would be for using an app such as links 2 sd. I've used that in the past with a previous phone that didn't have a lot of internal storage.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
If your system is already ext4 it means your rom definately supports that, so yes I would convert all other partitions (extcept sdcard of course :D ) to ext4 as well for optimum performance.

You shouldn't create additional partitions on your sdcard unless you are using a rom that supports that.

Roms supporting that on devices such as yours where there's enough internal memory would be quite exotic ;)

also because using sd-ext is way slower than using your internal memory only.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
I got some questions regarding Titanium Backup's new feature: extract from "CWMR5" backups:

This actually means "tar backups", which CWMR5 uses always, and it works exactly the same with 4EXT.

But since in 4EXT recovery you have the choice to switch tar backups on or off, it means you can only use this new Titanium Backup feature for your tar backups!

Tar backups in 4EXT Recovery were disabled by default in earlier versions and are now default. However you might want to check if you have tar backups enabled or not.

You can do this via the App or by taking a look at your 4ext.prop file.

Using the app: select "recovery" and then "recovery settings". There you will find a switch "Use tar backups".

You can also verify whether tar backups are enabled or not if you enter "Manage your backups".

The currently used setting is in the title.. it should read "Backup setting: tar"

Using 4ext.prop:

You can also manually switch tar backups on or off by editing 4ext.prop:

Just open that file inside /sdcard/4ext/ and set "backups.use.tar=yes"

All backups done by 4ext recovery when tar backups were enabled will work for titanium backup's "extract from CWMR" feature.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Zax_Was_Here:
I didnt think a different recovery could be so nice. I love it, converted everything to ext4 and plan on buying the full version when i get a chance.

I really appreciate how active the dev is in the thread, answering questions and posting updates all the time.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
Okay, I'm being picky because i purchased your app. LOL... Anyways, I'm wondering why MIUI doesn't come as such in Recovery. It comes up as

CyanogenMod-Kang. I realize i'm on the buildbotz, but i just thought you should know. I'm running version 110210. Otherwise, I love your app. Otherwise, I wouldn't of purchased it. Since, I changed all partitions to ext4, I have noticed a difference. I really like how you backup and restore the data. :o:o:o:o:o
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Nephilim:
Question, Does this new version of recovery fix the issue with tarbackup?

*nevermind, reread the OP and found the answer :P
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much ;)

It's not so easy to identify your rom name unfortunately..

That's because there are like 4 different places where it can be.. Some of those carry the rom name on certain roms, while they carry the version number on other roms.. so it's quite a mess and MIUI was always a bit "different" in this regard ;)

So it's not really possible for the app or recovery to decide whether "Cyanogenmod-Kang" is actually a MIUI build.

I hope it's not that much of a problem...

Thank you very much for your support ;) really very much appreciated!

Sorry, I'm so busy lately that I completely missed the posts of both of you. Glad to see you found the answer ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
offtopic: Is this Silent Hill in your sig?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
I will take a look if I can improve the name detection for your rom. But I fear I can't since Cyanogenmod-Kang is a very valid name for a rom :D

Could you send me your build.prop to my mail address please? It's in my sig ;)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
No, i was just curious. I had a feeling that might of been the issue.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
New app preview version is online:

Download: 2.1.1 Preview

"Preview" because there were a few internal changes and also translations into French and German that might need testing. (you can switch to English again in the settings if you dislike the localized version)

A few little bugfixes and little improvements:

Backups should now be sorted by date, MIUI roms that are quite different in where they put their rom names weren't always detected correctly in the past. This should work the same now as it does for all the other roms.

There are also two new features:

Exported color settings can now be imported again.

And finally there is a new wipe feature for the Desire Z / G2, myTouch 4G and Desire HD:

Wipe EFS partitions. The app will create backups of those partitions just in case. It also won't wipe them if it discovers that the backups weren't created.

But still: BE CAREFUL! This was tested only once so far.

Credits to ghul for telling us about that.

This is not the update I wanted though. There are tons of features that I'd like to implement, however I need to focus somewhere and at the moment this is the upcoming next final version of 4ext recovery.

Please bear with me, I will continue to work on the app again asap :)

Everyone can download and use/test the new app version. It is fully featured until 14th.

I'm planning to release it officially tomorrow on the market/slideme and the official free version too.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zandroid:
I wanted to give this thread a bump. This is a great recovery. The menus are laid out very well and it is aesthetically easy on your eyes when navigating. The app is also great and I plan to purchase very soon. Thanks for all of the hard work; you can tell alot of thought went into the design and development.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
I liked it so much, I purchased it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Thank you both very much! :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mcsplatt:
madmaxx just wanted to let you know i've been using 4EXT and your donate app for a while now, love it, i'm always pimping you around themikmik forums, tryin to get errbody on 4EXT. good work bro, appreciate the constant improvement work, too. you rock.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Wow! Thank you very very much :)

And I'm very sorry that I completely missed your post.

If you go online and read that during the next 15 hours, and you would like to try out 4ext-ng please send me a pm or a mail.

I'd need someone until tomorrow to try it out on the Incredible 2 and if you like you could do it :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
What's 4ext-ng?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
A secret ;)

Although there was an easter egg hidden inside all recovery images released since August that would maybe tell something.

To be released very soon.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
So if I understand right, I can still restore my CWM backups using this?? I wanna make sure before I do anything.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Yes, just like it is mentioned 1st post. 100% compatibility.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] madmaxx82:
Thank you!

Yes, I very much hope it will kick ass :D
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
Excited also for this update. I have never liked a recovery so much. The layout and options are so idiot proof LOL.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Can I just say that I FREAKING LOVE THIS RECOVERY?!?!??! ITS AMAZING!!!!! I can't believe I haven't been using this all along

Do you just flash this like a rom? Thanks in advance
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PacerguyDon:
You can download the recovery updater, then run it, choose which version of the recovery you want, then it will flash the recovery for you.

You download from the market and install
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JHumBL3:
I purchased the 4EXT Recovery Controller but when I flash anything or backup or restore, my phone uses CWM instead. Dont I need to flash 4EXT Recovery to replace CWM?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
In the controller app you should see something about installs. Click that and it should have different versions. Click the one you want and tell it to install.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JHumBL3:
Thnx. I guess I shoulda looked thru the app first. Good lookin out.
