Just flashed ILWT with Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.7 and it actually worked...

Now I know that it DID used to work with the Beta Touch Recovery. Maybe it's something with the scripts, because I'm using the ILWT.txt to customize my installation.

I'll restore my quattro backup in a bit, then reflash Touch Recovery and then try to install ILWT without the ILWT.txt file...Maybe it'll shed some light.

Thanks again!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
This is very very strange.

Could you please do that again and after it failed copy the recovery.log to your sdcard include your ILWT.txt, zip your whole 4ext folder and send it to my email address?

madmaxx82@mailspot.at

Then we might find out what's happening there.

Yours is the very first report about an issue so I'd really like to get that zip.

Thank you!

When there is an issue I will work on fixing it immediately.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
I'm currently restoring my backup via cwm. Will recreate the event once it's done.

Thanks.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
when should we look for this, or did it come out and I didn't realize it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Spastic909:
You just didn't realize it..or open the app to find out
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sisterchick:
Thank you! I'm on the same page now. Where I got a little loss was in the Classic vs Touch vs Updater vs Control, etc. I wasn't sure what was the actual recovery and what was the separate app and what I had to install to swap from CWMR. Thanks for leading me out of the dark!

problem with RC2

I have a problem with the phone wanting to reboot when I turn off the phone, but when I turn it off with it plugged in it stays off and doesn't reboot. Is this a known bug I haven't read through the whole thread to find out. Now when I was using your beta release it was fine I should of backed up that one just in case, lesson learned..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sisterchick:
Oh my gosh! Thank you. This is so much nicer than navigating with the volume rocker and power button. Nice work!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
They were referring to the app, not the recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
This week most probably! I was very busy fixing bugs inside recovery so I had to stop working on the app. But I will continue tomorrow after rc3 was released.

Not known to me.

But you can try the link to a new recovery build posted below which fixes the bug some of you had with ILWT install.

Thank you very much :)

Anyone who has trouble installing ILWT, please flash: www.4ext.net/vision6.zip

This will be released tomorrow.

Thanks a lot to crestofawave for a whole lot of logs and testing and also to jethro650 for another test and confirmation :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
@madmaxx thankyou. i am looking forward to that day :)

@Ditamae .... well what can i say i jumped ships for the SuperAmoled screen and official ICS support ;) and i have to say prior to ICS i was 50-50 over htc sense vs stock android like CyanogenMod .... but after using ICS there is no way im ever going back to HTC sense again .... :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] killj0y:
Me and madmaxx have gone over this and he's right....

We need a pw protected bootloader :) pretty slim odds we'll get one of those.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
Solved the Issue!

Well I wrote to you about my G2 wanting to reboot itself with your touch recovery and I went through 3 roms and a different recovery to test and I sorry but it was the touch recovery making my phone reboot. But how i solved the issue was I still use your recovery but not the touch RC2 I went to the standard one instead and the phone shuts down completely. Please keep us posted on a update for the touch recovery as I enjoyed the idea of a touch based recovery and believe its the future of recovery's to come. also a paid and supporting customer keep up the good work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
So when you want to shutdown your phone completely it does reboot instead of power off even when not connected to a charger or usb?

Weird that this should be recovery related.

Anyway have you ever tried the file I linked in my previous post?

Could someone with a g2 please try that and confirm?

sent from a phone using xda premium
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
I can confirm this; I just shut down, not connected to anything, and it came back on after about 3 seconds. This is with the most recent touch recovery available via the app.

Any logs you need?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
No, but please try the recovery flashable zip I linked above. Please tell me if that solves this.. http://www.4ext.net/vision6.zip

Thank you!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
One question.

Do you flash that file through your recovery or adb push the file don't understand what your saying can't flash a new recovery if your in the recovery itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
Hello.

Don't know if anyone else had this or is some sort of intended feature but here goes.

So today I wanted to give MIUI a whirl so I reboot to recovery. At the time the phone screen was full of fingerprints, so I wiped it off. After doing so, for some reason the touchscreen would not respond. I'm pretty sure it isn't the recovery freezing as I still had adb access.

I tried to recreate the event many times and it seems that it's not consistently happening but more or less, at random..

Has anyone ever come across similar occurrences? If so then please do mention about it, as well as how it happened.

Edit: Droidturk, it's flashed via recovery.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
You flash it via recovery but its a moot point, he was just having me test it to see if the poweroff bug was fixed; the official version will be available via the app today sometime
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
Your screen is just dirty. It happens once in a while with mine whether in recovery or not.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
@sino Hm, you're most likely right...but it's strange as it never happened outside recovery....well, nothing adb can't solve :p
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hey ;)

Would like to release rc3 now.. would someone please try it out before whether this issue where the phone reboots instead of power off hasn't reappeared since vision6.zip?

Edit: forgot to say: it should be someone with a G2.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
I can do it!

Edit: Oh bummer, mine's a DZ. Didn't read ;x
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:

Just waiting for confirmation for the Desire Z / G2.

After that I will upload rc3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Sorry about the delay; the G2 stays off with the recovery you sent me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much for the confirmation!

RC3 fixing all known issues is now available.

ughh! I know the feeling! I had a dentist appointment today. Stupid cavity lol!

The vision6.zip fixed my reboot issues. About to try RC3 out for a run... thanks again madmaxx!

update: seems that RC3 is working perfectly! No reboots, stays powered down, etc...

Any chance of a version for the EVO Shift? Or is there not much demand on that device?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks :)

I will look into supporting it, but currently there are already too much requests, so I cannot say when.

BTW: Take a look at the new theme index thread. there are quite some new very nice ones ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tsubus:
Do you already have other devices planned to be supported? If you don't mind sharing, of course.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
Of course not ;)

Very soon. I had to fix bugs in recovery first before I could start working on the Update for 4ext recovery control.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
Need file please.

Hey madmaxx82 could you please post that file again for the vision for the reboot problem thanks.

P.S. I flash the new recovery the RC3 and I still get reboots
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Try reflashing, I just tried and it stays off (I'm assuming you're not plugged in to anything)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
still reboots

I've flashed the recovery like 4 to 5 times and still it reboots, the touch and the standard ones if anybody has the file I could use it and try it out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] crestofawave:
You want the vision6.zip file?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
What's about those reboots?!

I thought that was confirmed to be fixed in RC3?

To make one thing clear: the recovery is NOT responsible for any reboots that might happen in your rom..

If the phone reboots itself AFTER it was powered off completely, this would then be possibly recovery related. Everything else is phone/rom related and has nothing to do with recovery.

This was tested by Crestofawave and OriginalGabriel before I uploaded RC3.

So.. either it does or it does not.

It's not possible that it does that for some users and for others it doesn't.

G2? Reboot AFTER power off, or not..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
I also use the G2, and the phone stays powered off from Recovery RC3.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IharpI:
The bug, where the things selected after opening a zip with the app are ignored is still existend.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
We are talking about the recovery ;)

The app didn't get an update yet. I'm working on it since today, because i had to release the RC3 bugfix release for the recovery first (I posted that on the previous page)

I guess you are referring to when you select a zip via an external file explorer and then select the 4ext app icon..

This will be fixed in the next Update for the App.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
Yes Please!

Need to try something my phone and my friends reboots need to try something please could you upload the file.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
When do they reboot?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
System App Data

I recently bought the paid version, I like this recovery so much, great work madmaxx! I have one minor question / issue: When I restore a full backup, my system app data is not restored, ie: Music Playlists, Gmail notification preferences & Messaging notification preferences. My phone ring & vibrate preferences are restored. This occurred on RC 3. I am running Virtuous G-Lite with no CPU tweaks or other modifications. I have searched and couldn't find anything on this topic so forgive me if this has been addressed.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi,

thank you ;)

This is weird. This is the first time I read about such a problem.

We should meet on irc to find out what's happening exactly.

I will send you a pm.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] David Dee:
Sounds good, thank you for your quick response!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Are you plugged in when this is happening? I seem to remember this being a "feature"; that is, plugging in your device will turn it on (comes in handy if you have a busted power button).

The device stays off, at least with the G2, when its not pugged in both with the touch and regular recoverries.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bombadier:
Ok ignore my post as it was me at fault.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
Sorry for the late response

Sorry for the late response I've been busy with college classes, but the reboots happen when I turn off the phone normally by hitting the power button. It only stays off for a second and then reboots, the only way to turn off the phone is to pull the battery and once I put the battery back in its turns on by itself. I tried flashing other rom's and such, but no such luck. Now I remember flashing that file you had on this forum but I did a lot of stuff that morning on my phone so do know if that file made it work but my phone doesn't reboot its just my friends G2 that reboots now. If you can put that file up again my friend will be back in town tomorrow and I can flash it and see if that takes care of the problem.

Thanks DT182
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
That reboot issue doesn't have anything to do with Recovery... the file you're asking about was supposed to fix an auto reboot issue when powering off from Recovery. But it's been fixed now. The problem you're talking about is actually a known issue. It used to happen to me and then it stopped. But it definitely doesn't have anything to do with 4EXT, so that file isn't gonna help ya.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:
Again, is your device connected via USB when this happens? That reboot bug (where it turns itself back on a few seconds after being shut down) was fixed with the latest version.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
exactly, it's probably the battery needs to be drained completely and charged all the way. After a few of those, it should be fine. Also, them should trade batteries and see if it does it still...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DROITURK182:
What latest version

If your talking about the new RC3 recovery update he has the new RC3 I flashed it myself. Now with the battery switch I will try it when he gets back in town and I will let him know about draining the battery out completely and then charging it back up in cycles. What bug are you guys talking about, was it with the recovery or with a rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Ditamae:
We are talking about two different bugs here. The one you're experiencing (or your friend is experiencing) is random - nothing to do with Recovery. I experienced it running CM7 and I read a thread in which several other users were experiencing the same problem with different ROMs... so as far as anyone can tell, the "auto-reboot when powering off" bug is not ROM specific (which I think you've noticed). Sino8r has recommended you (or your friend) try cycling your battery a few times. In my case, the bug went away as mysteriously has it occurred.

Now, the "auto-reboot when powering off from Recovery" bug has been fixed. It no longer exists.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] IharpI:
To fix the Auto-ON after power down, just remove the battery and leave it outside the phone for some hours, this fixed it allways for me!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
we want the new app with EFS/cache/dalvik wiping all in one! - YAY! :D

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
Hello madmaxx, I don't know if this has been suggested before but here it goes:

When using 4ext recovery control (pro version) and choosing to install a zip, we are given some options (wipe, backup, etc) and finally we're presented with a window that says "Reboot into recovery and perform selected action(s)?" Unfortunately this doesn't remind us what the selected actions are, so we cannot confirm without pressing no, which undoes everything we did. I think it would be great if the confirmation message listed both the zip(s) we chose to install and list the actions that were selected as part of that window.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
@madmaxx - I asked this before but never got a response from you, and wasn't sure the other responders were knowledgeable enough about the intricacies of your program.

Let's say I have a buddy, and he has the same phone as me, T-mobile G2, that is stock but rooted, and he doesn't want to go to the trouble of trying to do the months of tweaks and customizations that I have done to my phone to his.

Could he just buy the 4EXT app in the market and then use it to superwipe-ext4 and install my backup files via recovery that I made with 4EXT and then just clear my contacts and wifi password and google account and replace with his own?

Or is a 4EXT backup somehow tied to the serial number/ IMEI of the phone?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] nickeedoo:
You sure could! Actually, there is a free version of this app somewhere on his website, I think. But you could still buy it. He could definitely restore a backup that you made, just anything you didn't want him to have you'd need to delete from his phone.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] WTF?:
what was the first word in my post? :rolleyes:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] cswroe:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] OriginalGabriel:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Neejay:
Newest version of Recovery Control and Touch Recovery is WIN!

Recovery is fast as ever + I love the new features.

Not to sound like a request nazi, but having the different colored menu listings for backups/choosing a zip helped quite a bit with identifying separate listings (easier on the eyes). Or maybe having the slight gap like what's between "available backups | backup mode" and "new".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks very much :)

v2.2.3 is out now allowing you to change exactly those colors to whatever you like ;)

Hi Neejay,

CRM required ??

This probably has been answered already. I don't use CRM anymore. I use 4ext since it first relewase but all my backups go to CRM folder under backups on SD card. If I uninstall CRM where do ROM backup save to on SDCARD?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] misfit61871:
I think that is because 4 ext is based off clock work mod, all my 4 ext back ups are in a clock work folder and not in any of my 4 ext folders.

And you should have CWM uninstalled already if your running 4 ext cuz I think you can only have one recovery image.

Sent from the Morgue!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] darklordray:
I still have CWM installed on my phone I just haven't flashed a recovery image with CWM since installing 4ext. I was just wondering If I uninstall CWM would there be any issues with 4ext still backing up ROMS to clockmod folder on SDCARD that all.
