No, I pulled it.

Please wait 2minutes.. will verify it's ok.

sorry.
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Ok, it's now REALLY ok :D
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
cheers mate doing it now... i noticed the file size is significantly larger this time... hope is up

EDIT: BOOM WORKS PERFECTLY THIS TIME =]
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
Nothing to do bro, error mounting sd card, cant write to sd card, imposible to have log to sd card, it sim's that recovery dont reconizing my sd card, in the first page i have all partition good but sd card not, vfat and other null

my s-off sensation, thanks to Revolutinary !!!
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Hmm can you do a file system check of your sdcard inside recovery?
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
BTW: The best to do would be to copy your sdcard to your pc and then repartition it using 4ext.. that way you also get a perfectly aligned partition and it will be formatted.. then it really must be recognized.
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Puuh, great and glad it's working now.. sorry for mixing up the files.. shouldn't happen in the first place..
[HTC Sensation] masondoctorjt:
Same for me. I would have never tried it otherwise.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Hello guys. After many years playing with Android and rom and kernel, i'm just totally ok with MIUI, this is the best for me. Now, i'm looking for the recovery that fits me : )

Since every ROM are signed for CWM recovery, can we have some trouble to flash any ROM with this recovery ? and for being sure, is it ok with MIUI ?

Btw, i'm sure i wouldn't but, can i revert back easily to CWM if i want ?

Thank's for all !
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
Sure mate, its basically the same, just better :p its fully compatible with CWM backups. It should be fine. You can always easy switch back to CWM if needed.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
And for installing, just download the app and install the recovery ? no need to uninstall CWM or stuff ?
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
Nah its not needed, but if you want the advanced fuctions like theme installer in app, and much more you need the full controller app. If you go for just the Recovery, you can use the free Recovery updater app. You can delete Rommanager if you go for the full app,since its kinda a replacement for it.
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
thanks ! Just installed, not all tested but seems very nice !

No problem with charging phone when the phone is off ?
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
I think that bug is already gone for a long time in all Recovery,s out there. I alsmost forgot about it :)
[HTC Sensation] Bluewall:
Haha yes but this first bug really scared me. I was out on the XDA app with like 20 percent of battery when i saw this haha
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
It does charge :) in and out recovery, phone off or not ;)

You can trust the charging light ;)
[HTC Sensation] sterz85:
need some help with the backup

i have two roms backed up, one is miui and the other is sense.

i went to restore my miui rom and got a error message the md5 is missing, checked the folders, there's a md5 file in the sense backup folder but no md5 in the miui backup folder.

is there a way to get my miui backup working again?
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Yes, you can do that easily with Recovery Control.

If you don't have it, send me a pm ;)
[HTC Sensation] sterz85:
i have it. there's a few apps actually worth buying and this is def one of them.

here's what i did

opened up recovery control > recovery > manage your backups > check or correct md5 sums for the miui backup

now is there anything i can do differently to avoid the md5 issue? the reason i have the two roms backed up is because the camera on the miui is still a WIP. so when i need to take pictures (going on a 2 week business trip next monday), i was planning on just restoring the sense rom i have installed.
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Thank you :)

This should never have happened!

The only reason I can think of where nandroid.md5 wasn't created is when the backup was aborted prematurely by a battery pull or too little space on the sdcard.

Did you try to restore the backup? Does it work?
[HTC Sensation] sterz85:
i'll try to restore it in a few min.

what would you recomend for switching between backups? full wipe and then restore backup?
[HTC Sensation] ptr_hamilton:
Hi guys, hi Max

Something appeared in recovery control all which makes me post it here.. A news showed up (See attached image)

What's that gonna be? Is there a connection to that mysterious easteregg which wasn't found, afaik?

/curiously
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
If it was a normal full backup you don't need to watch out for formatting before restoring it.

4EXT Recovery will always format any partition it is going to restore before the restore process starts (using the same file system this partition was formatted with at the time your backup was created).
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Hey ;)

Soon :D
[HTC Sensation] sterz85:
everything restored correctly, i'll just do another backup of the miui rom later today
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
great to hear :)
[HTC Sensation] ptr_hamilton:
I feel something really fantastic coming up :D

If madmaxx makes promises, there's gotta be something big behind!

Can't wait calmly
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
:D :D

You have no idea ;) But it will be BIG :p
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Come on mate ! You 2 like teasing people, haa ? :)
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
But he is f***ing right :D :D :D It will be very big ;)
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
Can someone please help me and point me to a way to recover my phone this is what happen.

I was going to flash a new rom and I wiped and then did a super wipe like I routinely do once recovery rebooted I tried to flash the rom it would only give me installation aborted tried other roms so I tried rebooting recovery and now it just boot loops with an error that says

E: can't open/ cache/recovery/log

E: can't open/ cache/recovery/log

E: can't open/ cache/recovery/last log

E: can't open/ cache/recovery/last log

It just boot loops can someone help me point me in the right direction to try and fix my device ext4 recovery is useless I can still get to the HTC screen with recovery fastboot and the other options any help is appreciated thank you please respond in thread or pm
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Have you flashed a new hboot? Try to format all partitions and reflash your rom :)
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
So, just to have an ideea, what "soon" means to you guys, hours, days or weeks ? :)
[HTC Sensation] ebatr8:
Can you shed some light on how to do that remember recovery boot loops so I can't do anything using recovery
[HTC Sensation] ptr_hamilton:
How come almost anybody knows how big it's gonna be :confused:

Com'on what's comming up :D

@TheUntouchable

BTW I just saw your signature ;) Tz tz
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Mh okey, perhaps you should wait for a response from max, sorry :)

Not everybody knows it.. Don't worry! :D
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Did you change hboot?

If you haven't solved this by now, send me a pm!
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
Hi, Im new to this recovery. It said in the OP you can change your own background images in the recovery, how do you do this?
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Hi,

for this you need to flash one of the themes.

There are a lot of themes / theme threads linked on top of 1st post ;)
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
thanks for the quick response, and thanks for your work here as well. Is there a way i can put my own back ground pic in there instead of using one of the pre made themes?
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Yes,you can.

Just open one of the zip files and take a look into the "icons" folder inside.

There you will find all the custom images used.

Replace the ones you want to change with your own ones (the must match the name of the one you want to replace). They should be in the same resolution ( the one from your device ) and must be in png format. It's also recommended to use as much compression for the png as possible for performance reasons, but it is no must.

If you delete one of the images inside a theme zip, the default recovery one will be used instead.
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
is it normal for the theme to be darker when your in recovery than in the preview? is there any way to not make it dim? Also, I would love to make my own theme but have a hard time finding 540x960 images . i don't currently have a way to convert a pic into 540x960 .png format, any ideas or is anyone able to help?

by the way, this recovery is really sweeeet!
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
Ok so I replaced all the images in the folder with the ones I want and rezipped and the preview looked fine but when I boot into recovery the background is just black. Images are in .PNG and are in proper size what am I missing? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Thank you :D

About the colour of the images: are you using 2.2.7 rc5? It's normal that it appears as if in the background, but the effect shouldn't be too big (like on earlier versions)

They need to be saved as 16bit or 32bit (don't remember right now :D )

If they are now 32, save them as 16 and vice versa :)
[HTC Sensation] mattdub1:
Thanks for the help. I'm kinda new to trying to theme so not sure what you mean by 16 or 32? Also yes I'm using rc5 and on white background it looks pretty dim haven't tried many of the other themes yet tho
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Yes they are a bit dimmed to make text better readable. I might make that configurable in an upgrade.

White would be an extreme example as a background I guess, where this effect might feel stronger.

I mean the colour space.. they should be RGB(A/X)_8888 I think, but better to ask Whiskey, he knows everything about (and not limited to) 4ext themes ;)
[HTC Sensation] xazac:
Today I tried AHRD 4.1.7 on my Sensation XE.

Before this ROM I had Clockwork Mod as Recovery tool. But now I have 4EXT Recovery installed (v2.2.7 RC3).

Now my question is: How can I update it to latest version? (RC3 to RC5 in my case).

Really thanks!
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Hi,

please install the 4EXT Updater App (it's free, no ads..)

This enables you to install any version you like OTA + view changeslogs/known issues, be notified about any critical new bugs found if you like, send bugreports automatically including your last recovery.log if you like et.c.
[HTC Sensation] ptr_hamilton:
Search the market for 4ext recovery control. It's a three days trial after three days you can still use the free version 4ext updater to keep the recovery up to date :) But most people love the control app because of it's outstanding features! Give it a try

Cheers Pete

Edit: :( typing too slow
[HTC Sensation] xazac:
Really thanks! :D
[HTC Sensation] dingolino:
Hi,

is 4EXT also working on Samsung Devices? (or any chance that it could work once a day?)

I have now a Galaxy Note with a customized CWR from Chainfire, but after my experience with 4EXT on my Sensation I am missing it ... :D

Best regards,

dingolino
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Thanks ;)

Most probably yes, but can't promise when..
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Hi Max. When can we expect your big surprise ?
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Hi xazac!

Just download the 4EXT Recovery Updater here: http://www.4ext.net/

It will help you to stay up to date :)

EDIT Damnit, i was not on the latest page.. xD
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
I never said it was big ;)

No eta possible, but... very soon.
[HTC Sensation] myxcon:
I plan to change my Sensation to a Samsung Galaxy Note (not 100% sure yet). Do you intend to port 4ext to suport the SGN also? I purchased the full app for my Sensation and am more than happy with it.
[HTC Sensation] Shroomster:
Just to ask, would anyone be willing to tell me what sizes should be allocated for repartitioning the sd-card? I am in:

advanced and debugging menu> partition SD Card

and I checked the file alignment and it says the fat 32 isn't perfectly aligned.

I began the partition sequence but I have no clue what proper sizes would work...

I have an 8gb (7580mb of space)....
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
On the Sensation you only need a fat32 partition. So you would select skip on all questions about sizes for sdext and swap. All space will be distributed to the fat32 partition then.

If you want to do that you need to backup your sdcard before and then select the option "start from scratch" at the beginning of the partitioning menu.
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Thank you for your support ;-)

It will be supported most probably. But currently there's no ETA possible.
[HTC Sensation] dingolino:
Hi madmaxx

you live in Austria - right?

There are some good deals for a Note - what I have seen ...

(unbranded device for eur 440,-)

Best regards

dingolino
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
What's your intention by telling me that? :D
[HTC Sensation] Pavelol:
hi madmaxxx!

first of all i wanted to say thx for this awesome controller and recovery.

I wanted to know why in the recovery the brightness is about 60%-50%? impossible to use the recovery in direct sun or even outside in the shade.

Edit:

NVM talked with u on IRC :)
[HTC Sensation] myxcon:
posted in the wrong thread. sorry. please delete or ignore :)
[HTC Sensation] Shroomster:
Just wanted to say thanks in this thread to max and the rest of the crew behind this recovery. I just bought the controller on the market and am installing the free version on my friends' sensations as well.
[HTC Sensation] joaquinf:
Are you able to install it? because i bought it 5 hours ago and im stuck at starting download screen
[HTC Sensation] crescal:
i faced the same problem and have done that already. still the same though...
[HTC Sensation] Shroomster:
Before I purchased, i deleted the free version, but I doubt that would cause the problem. Although, the instructions do say delete the free version before installing paid 4eXT.....
[HTC Sensation] lindahl85:
Lovely recovery but i miss the wipe menu from CWM 5.0.2.7 in my desire. Is it possible to fix that? The "Wipe dalvik cache and cache partition" is very useful
[HTC Sensation] maschenazi:
Just search a bit harder, is all there
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Will be in 1.0.0.3 ;)

Thanks :) I think he means one menu item for both dalvik and cache (combined). In case dalvik isn't on /cache as well (often the case on the desire ;) )
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Hi!

Did we mail about that issue already?

If not, this is an issue with the free app < v2.1.4, the new market and some more recent changes at google it seems (the time needed for the market to recognize the change).

If you had the free app installed, it takes ages for the market to recognize it's gone.

This wasn't the case 1-2 weeks ago.

The workaround is to install the old market,

Please send me an email :)
[HTC Sensation] lindahl85:
Great! You understood correct! :D
[HTC Sensation] Shroomster:
Oh, I was just trying to help troubkeshoot is all. I had zero problems with purchasing/downloading the paid recovery controller.
[HTC Sensation] GizmoTheGreen:
Hey, can anyone share with me the .img of 4ext recovery?

I need to flash it via fastboot so I can access my sdcard via usb so I can fix my phone, no sdcardreader handy.
[HTC Sensation] kumprise:
hello

hi, guys

I'm on HBOOT 1.20, new RADIO, using latest (today, it's 4.0.6) InsertCoin ICS ROM. I had some problems with my current CWM recovery while instaling some long-gone ROM, that is, I missunderstood what recovery told me, so I created EXT3 partition on my SD, which was stupid and not needed. Now, I heard all the best about this recovery, EXT4 I mean, so I'd like to give it a try. Also, I'd like to repartition my SD afterwards, to delete that EXT3 partition, and (ofc) reflash my ROM. So far, while in HBOOT, it says LOCKED, but I can boot to cwm recovery, so I can flash stuff. My questions:

- can I simply flash EXT4 recovery, without downgrading HBOOT?

- can I format all of my SD card to FAT32 afterwards?
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Sorry I have missed to check the old thread ;)

As long as you are S-OFF you can simply flash 4ext recovery and it will replace your current recovery (cwmr). And before you ask ;) In case you want to go back, simply flash CWMR via Rom Manager and it will replace 4ext recovery.

Closing this thread now, please continue there: 4EXT Recovery Touch
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
yes i do that and have the message "Filesystem is healthy" :(

i have this message exactly "Error mounting your sdcard

please check your sdcard's fat32 partition for errors"

i try fixing permission also, but not work :(
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
If you want to, you could copy your sdcard's contents to your pc and then repartition your sdcard using 4ext.

It will create a perfectly aligned partition which cannot hurt ;) and format it..

After that copy your files back.

Then it really must work!
[HTC Sensation] c0de_junkie:
If anyone is looking for some more 4EXT themes then I just posted my new 4ext theme thread!!!!! Check it out

THANK YOU apaquette420!! :)

Will add a link immediately!
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
ok I wanted to avoid this option lol, but if I have no choice

thank you for your time :)
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
is formatting sd card to 4ext better than regular vfat and fat32 for class 10 32gb cards?
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Np at all :) Glad you try it ;)

You mean ext4 right? No, it won't be useable for you then.. this is only for sd-ext partitions. You need fat32 for the first partition to work for android.
[HTC Sensation] joshndroid:
i thought so.. must have read the previous posts incorrectly.. lol back on topic
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
no luck here, I tried to format the card and told me not format sdcard, sdcard not mounted :(

good, I had enough emotion for today I will go to sleep :p
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
I need also to go to sleep :P

What did it tell you?

You need to select "start from scratch" at the beginning. did you do that?
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
i have this message

--Formating sdcard...

Creating fs for /sdcard..

error formating sdcard fat32

a very interesting thing, I flashed another recovery in the section final date of 20/07 and that recovery it recognize my card in the recovery menu with the other partitions
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Hmm... strange. 2.1.0 final..

I will look into that.

Thanks ;)

Now we both need to get some sleep I guess :D

Good night!
[HTC Sensation] wallah:
yes, my brain going toooo slow at this time :)

thanks have a good night, at least the rest of the night :p
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
:p mine too!

Thank you and you too ;)

See you soon then :)
[HTC Sensation] woundtrauma:
This is what I have been waiting..

Now there is two ineffable recoveries:

T.W.R.P. and 4EXTRecovery.

Thanks for awesome job! :D
[HTC Sensation] ali3nfr3ak:
Supported u by buying your app from market, a good buy :D
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
Hum, since Euphorie changed avatar, everybody will be me :D :D
[HTC Sensation] ~~Tito~~:
Wow! I love this recovery! Its perfect, I love the "Format all partitions(Except SDCard)" option. That saves me loads of key presses! Ah what joy!

I wish I could give money to you guys.
[HTC Sensation] geoffcorey:
Just a heads up, if you downloaded the recovery before 9pm PDT, you might want to redownload it, as I worked with madmaxx82 on fixing a bug where the recovery would "loop" because of a null exception.
[HTC Sensation] Evil-Dragon:
I'm going to change mine now too... ;)
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Finally its out! Thank you max! (Sorry xD) :D

Some thing.. The control app shows me recovery versions which are not for the sensation i think.. (2.2.7 RC2 for example). Is this by design? Because the beta shows me something like 3.0.0 Beta 2.. ;)
[HTC Sensation] mike1986.:
Why Mike? madmaxx82 is from Revolution Team but it's not me :p

All I can tell you guys is that ext4 recovery is amazing :)
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Ah damn it! Looking in different threads at the same time is not the best idea! xD Sorry for that ;)
[HTC Sensation] Whiskey103:
No problem, Team is like musketiers, "one for all, all for one" :D
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
Hehe I see ;-) but max really deserves some thanks! :-D
[HTC Sensation] Dougi:
in love with this recovery...

thanks for your work..
[HTC Sensation] shyic:
I have one question:

I’ve made my 1st backup of stock and branded rom which came with my phone in ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.1.4 in case to keep warranty if any fail.

Is 4ext compatible with that backup? Can I recover that one with 4ext?
[HTC Sensation] orymd:
i've restored a CWM5.x backup with success... the 4ext recovery reads the clockworkmod folder... it's a fantastic recovery ;)
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Yes that version name was meant for something else in the one I sent you ;)

Thank you mate!! :)

haha no problem at all.

:D

Thank you very much :)

Yes it will do that without any problems! But if this is such an important backup for you, then I would also save another copy at a different location than your sdcard! If you need it a few months from now on and it gets damaged somehow during that time, it's bad.

Edit: but you'll also want the original recovery when you are concerned about warranty.. do you have any ruu ready for that? It would be much better than any backup.

Thank you :)
[HTC Sensation] ptr_hamilton:
YEAH 4Ext 4 Sensation

WOW

Haven't been looking into xda for about half an day and then this! :eek: I've been waiting for this recovery for sooooo long. It's just amazing

Finally a recovery with so much great features like no haptic feedback, rom name as backup name, correct time recogintion and so much more! And finally this amazing app which increases the value of the recovery even more. I love installing more then on zip files with one restart in addidtion to choose multiple actions like cleaning cache or something just with a single click before :D

Sorry if I wrote little too much but since I changed my Desire into a Sensation I've been missing 4Ext and now it even comes with such a great app :D

THANK YOU MADMAXX and all of those you got your basis from

P.s.: I really recommend to get the 4ext recovery app for people that are like me and flash every new **** all day ;)
[HTC Sensation] philliman:
When I boot into recovery I cant install nothing from SD card. Space reads NULL.....What am I missing here? THx!:confused:
[HTC Sensation] madmaxx82:
Wow thank you peter for that unbelievably great feedback!!! :)

This is strange and happened to another user also, please could you come to irc?

I will pm you!
[HTC Sensation] V6-Maniac:
Yeah...

Finally Ext4recovery for the sensation.

Had it from the start on my Desire and i missed it very much on the Sensation... :D
[HTC Sensation] philliman:
Flawless.....now! Lol, Great support also and I'm loving this recovery waaaaaay better than that CWM I was using. Had a weird SD card issue but was rapidly solved! Thx again Madmaxx!!!
[HTC Sensation] sinisin:
Nice work gents. Loving the options and layout.

Sent from where ever I was when I posted this
[HTC Sensation] brd912:
Who should flash this? Meaning will this recovery work for all roms? Are there any restrictions on what can be flashed etc.
[HTC Sensation] wikie:
really great work top, of course, the app I've bought it immediately, the recovery works great thanks again:D
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
Hi,

I am slightly confused here...do i need to install both the free version and the paid version or just the paid version?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] TheUntouchable:
You have to install one of them. The free version does only update and install the recovery, the paid one can do the same and has much more features and supports the Dev ;-)
[HTC Sensation] 4D3:
I have installed the paid version.

I have a small worry now...when i look at the recovery, I have a 2Gb ext4 Partition on the SD card, but when i go into titanium backup I onle have 1.23Gb as my size (with 563mb available)

should i re-partition my sd card using 4EXT?
[HTC Sensation] ptr_hamilton:
Sounds strange. Did you try to boot into recovery and look what it says there?
