I would of thanked u but I ran out of thanks lol ''Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day'' so there is no way out of this brick, the problem is that I get no error messages while tryin to install the pd15 like fail pu etc...

([/QUOTE] Hmm.. maybe you have a problem with your current firmware.

However to fix those cache errors, do the follwoing in fastboot:

fastboot erase cache

However: recovery is not involved when you flash a bootloader flashable zip.. so this might not solve the problem you have :/([/QUOTE]

it sux man I miss my MT, how can I erase the cache from from fast boot ?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
Do you have adb set up? If so, go to your SDK directory in cmd and type fastboot erase cache.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Preluder:
I followed the link how to set up adb but I kept getting an error Im going to delete everything and try again
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
New version: 1.0.0.5 RC2 ( currently testing build 42 )

Parts of the changelog:

Backup folder creation time does now match the configured time zone

Using Recovery Control to queue up actions for recovery without choosing to "stay inside recovery" will now result in a countdown once all actions are completed.

During 5 seconds you can cancel the reboot to stay in recovery mode.​

For roms which include the recovery:

It's now possible to check whether the version you included in your rom is newer than the one currently installed using some simple edify commands (instead of the separate version check binary)​

Flashing on my wife's and son's Glaciers... I don't think I've updated their 4ext in a while since they aren't into flashing or what not.

Thanks Maxx :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Hammerfest:

One word freakingamazinglyawesome thank u thank u thank finally a touchscreen recovery dreams coming to reality
[myTouch 4G Android Development] GazaIan:
My screen went black at random in the middle of a wipe :( was still using the beta release, not the repo release.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] saranhai:
i freaked out and almost bought a Desire HD when i saw this in their forums..

glad i didn't spend that money haha... :rolleyes:

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS MAN!!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mustk1ll20:
This is epic! Hated track pad for recovery. Works awesome by the way
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you all very much :)

Haven't had that with previous versions..

Yes please try using 4ext app to install that.

Also please remove your 4ext folder to make sure it generates a clean config.

When your screen went black when you wiped everything.. did it reappear during the wipe process?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
My screen just went black while making a backup! Do I battery pull?

edit: nevermind, battery pulled. Everything OK! Please fix this bug :)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
If it doesn't recovery, it would be best if you do: adb reboot recovery

Please reflash recovery via 4ext app.

I updated it on the server 1 hour ago, because I found something that could have caused that although very unlikely.

Can you tell me if the progress animation did show correctly for you? Does it jump when it's displayed or is it completely smooth?

That would be an indicator for this screen black issue.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
Yeah it asked me if I was sure I wanted to do the backup, I tapped the check, and everything went black except the home keys which were still lit up.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Oh.. so this happened immediately when you started the backup..

Before the progress indicator even showed up, is that right?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Do you or someone else who experienced that have working adb and would have time for about 10-15 minutes?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
Damn happened again! I think I need to touch the screen every 10 seconds or so...
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Do you have adb?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
I have the time. :D

edit: yes I have adb.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Okay.. could I'd like to investigate that now. There seems to be something special with the glacier. I'll send you a pm now.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
Had an interesting thing happen. I had my phone on my charger and it was backing up perfectly fine, screen on and all, went to leave and the moment I took my phone off the charger my screen went black and the keys were all that was lit up.

Just thought I'd share that piece of information.

Thanks for the awesome recovery and all the hard work you've put into it too btw!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you for this information!

Valuable indeed!

Are you able to reproduce this?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
most definitely. it happens every single time when i'm backing up. i'm not totally sure why i had it on the charger to begin with as it was already fully charged but i just didn't take it off til i had to leave. turned around and tried it again and same thing happened.

was able to do a full backup re-flash and all with it on the charger tho.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
So while on the charger it doesn't happen?

Which power source? Computer?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
correct. ac power. plugged in runs fine, once i unplug it it's within 2 seconds it goes black. i thought maybe if i plugged it back in it might come back on but it doesn't.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
If you got some time left, could you please try if it happens with this one too?

www.4ext.net/PD15IMG2.zip
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
yup i can give it a go... flash via bootloader? no need to change file name to just PD15IMG, leave the 2? just making sure.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
thanks!

Yes flash via bootloader and you need to rename it to PD15IMG.zip!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Amac1222:
not a problem! i'll report back shortly!

Edit: Working like a charm! hasn't went blank on me yet!

Edit2: Worked perfectly fine. Didn't get a black screen after I unplugged the phone.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much!

Could you please also try a backup while you are connected via usb to your computer?

It did that unfortunately, while it was ok when connected to AC.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:
I haven't had that issue. I'm on a myTouch4G, I get the pre release, then when it was available through OTA, I pulled it down from there. Backups, restores, no issues with blackouts.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks. Did you try that while you were connected via usb to a computer also?

To anyone who had that issue: please download the file linked above and flash it via bootloader. Please try if the problem is gone and check if it appears on backup/restore while you are connected via usb to a computer (not to ac!).

Thank you!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:
It should act up if you have the sdcard mounted while you're trying to use it in recovery mode. I had my phone connected via power source and plugged into the computer, but the sdcard was not mounted.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
It has nothing to do with a mounted sdcard.

Did you try backup/restore while connected to a computer with the old beta or the file linked above?

If you also tried that with the old and you didn't get a black screen while backing up, then you are completely unaffected by this.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
If someone else who had that issue could confirm that the new build works. I can upload it again and this is solved ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:
I usually don't backup my phone connected to my computer, either on power or battery, but I will give it a try now if you'd like.

Edit: Connected phone to my MAC via data cable, used 4EXT control to conduct backup. Phone rebooted into recovery (1st edition of touch), phone is backing up. Has not blacked out
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
That would be great ;)

If you still have the old recovery, please try that first to confirm once that you are also facing that problem.

BTW: the backup will finish, you can watch that via adb.. but the screen goes blank while connected via usb to a computer somewhere in the middle of the process and won't turn on again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] GazaIan:
Nope, went black and stayed black. It happened a second time, right after it wipes cache the screen goes black but the hardware lights remain on, I just pulled the battery and went into recovery and did it over and it worked without going black. Not a big problem to me, I'm just happy enough there's a touchscreen recovery :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
No, really this is unusable as it is atm on the mytouch 4g.

That's not acceptable at all to say the least.

I'm looking into it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
It seems like it was pulled. Going to touch shows its not supported yet for the myTouch 4G. Please choose a classic version.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaibar:
Using 1.0.0.3b1 on MyTouch 4G

I have not had the opportunity to flash anything new (no updated kernels, no new cm nightlies, eh? what's going on? everybody waiting for cm9? ;) ) ,so I just tested it a few times on making and restoring backups- everything looks smooth and working properly.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] zwindschz:
I have done 3 backups and 2 restores with different scenarios of wiping with not a single problem using first posted version. Also on bad emmc if that matters.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
I don't understand why it doesn't show as available on mine. I have CM7 and version 2.1.4 of this installed.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jaibar:
From ext4 control app (2.1.4) you could have installed the touch Glacier/touch recovery version for a short period of time- yesterday :)

Today, if you go to the update section and choose the tab for the touch version, you'll get a message that it is not supported yet on MT4G/Glacier because of the black screen problem (or something like that- don't remember the exact problem) I guess it is just a temporary thing until the problem is solved.

Anyway, if you are willing, I think you may try contacting the dev (madmaxx82) and he may give you a version to try- bear in mind you are trying a beta on the guinea pig role ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mustk1ll20:
Had to restore a backup and screen blacked out, waited 10 minutes and pulled the battery. Phone booted fine. Went back to recovery and touch no longer works. Had to pull battery again. Didn't have an issue making a backup tho.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Is anyone available with a working adb install and some time who would be able to help me debugging that?

If lucky, I *might* have found the problem.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:
I'm available
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
thanks! pm sent!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:

[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
Thanks for the fix maxx, great working with you! :cool:
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Finally!

BIG thanks to invasion2 and stlouie65! They spent more than 10 hours of debugging with me ;)

This should be fixed now!

Happy flashing :)

Thank you VERY much mate! That looks great! :) Something for a sig ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dominicanman912:
so we need to wait for it to show up in recovery updater again?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
No, it's there!

If it is not, hit "check for news | updates" and enter the install menu again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] saranhai:
thanks! and by all means, USE IT! :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dominicanman912:
cool maybe it's just my phone. I can wait a lil while though. When I click check for news/updates it says recovery is up to date. Then when I click online install, the highest version I can get to is the one I'm on now which is v 2.2.7 rc5.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cnote74:
Update your recovery app to the latest one.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] montoya.brandon:
I tried using went bacc to beta 1 if u try to back up or restore a Rom it freezes up everytime
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
When did you install it?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] maverick_hunter:
I've been a pretty solid user of ClockworkMod Recovery, but this new Touch Recovery has really peaked my interest! Thanks for all your work!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Sorry everyone, I forgot to include a png which should be responsible for the freeze.

Please REDOWNLOAD now. it should work now.

Sorry again. 4am is not the best time to do that :o
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Please report back, will stay up until I know it's ok ;)
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
This thing is a tad slow and also theres delays in msgs if a dev writes a script to run it doesn't come up when its supposed to not until a min later at least.

This thing is a tad slow and also theres delays in msgs if a dev writes a script to run it doesn't come up when its supposed to not until a min later at least.

My theme got lost somehow :(

My time got set 6 hours ahead.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Which theme?

You installed one for the touch version?

The time will only show correctly if you have a rom flashed on recovery boot.

The thing you mention with the slow updating is being fixed at the moment.

This could have happened when show_progress with a certain parameter value was used.

Now that's resolved. Uploading.

Regarding themes: you need to switch on: preserve.theme=yes

Inside the App, enter the recovery section chose recovery settings and tick the option preserve theme.

Or open the file 4ext.prop on your sdcard manually and set this option from no to yes.

Edit: uploaded.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Regarding time:

usually a default recovery is using UTC.

It doesn't know about your time zone.

4ext touch now extracts that info out of your currently flashed rom.

When you wipe and reboot recovery without setting up your rom first, it won't get those data.

You can however set your time zone in your 4ext.prop too. This would then stay permanently.

I will add this to the app to more easily set that.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] The Archangel:
At first I was unsure of using this recovery, but man is it awesome. I love it, so easy to use an better to read. Thanks so much for it.

Give thanks if I helped

......Death before Dishonor......
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:
This recovery is great in my opinion.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] maverick_hunter:
I've been messing around with it, and I'm really liking this recovery. How can we make custom themes for it, or is that not available yet?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
It was the Icy Blue Theme from the HD section. After adding that to the ext4.prop file it still didn't stay so I will use go use the app to set that. I do see the time set in the file.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you all very much!

Thanks ;)

You can theme it!

I haven't had the time yet to write a guide for that but I'm planning to do that around christmas.

Until then, please take a look at the theme threads linked on 1st post.

You could download one of them and start experimenting with it ;)

There's also a very nice one from DarkDog, but I'm not sure if it is already available for download.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1377757&page=21

You can flash any theme for 800x480 devices.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
The theme must be compatible with the Touch version.

Currently the app's themes features are not yet use able for the touch editions, because there are still some things that need to be implemented for the Touch UI.

This will be finished very soon however and then the app will get an update.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] dominicanman912:
That worked! Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
Everythings good. Just needs some optimizing. Other than that i'm not so sure but IDK what causes the theme to disappear. If its when I select that wipe everything except sdcard option or it just does it by itself. Thanks for the hard work it does work pretty well.

Just realized of an issue my device died and when I plugged it in after a minute. The lights are on and the device is off.

Now this time when it died and plugged it in Recovery came right up oddly. OK the screen is black after a couple of minutes and hardware key lights are on. But pressing power makes the device power on. Makes no sense.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] maverick_hunter:
Mine keeps freezing during the restore process. It gets to a certain point (cache restore, I think) then the screen goes black. The hardware lights stay on, though.

EDIT: I waited about 5 more minutes after the black out, then pulled the battery and booted up normally. Everything seems to be working fine. Just as a precaution, are backups by 4EXT Recovery compatible with ClockworkMod Recovery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes, they are completely compatible. If you take a look at 2nd post you'll see all features of 4ext recovery classic listed.

It is extremely stable and without any known issues.

So this is bad news. It wasn't fixed after all.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
I remember an issue that occurred in 3.0.0.8 or 7 of CyanogenMOD recovery. It was the one before 3.0.2.0 I believe where the problem was on a dead battery once the phone is plugged in it will instantly boot into Recovery in its blinking light mode. Because you know thats what the myTouch 4G does on a dead battery and it takes a few minutes to init the actual charging state were the light was solid.

The restore problem she/he has seems to be a duplicate problem of the device just sitting there for 2 to 3 minutes doing nothing in recovery and it decides to go black and the Hardware Keys decide to light up. However, I pushed power 3 times and it booted normally.

Now the theme I had was Icy Smoke. It was posted in the Touch Recovery Desire HD page. Now why a theme won't stay put who knows but it seems to stick until I use the Wipe Everything option then it ends up disappearing. Is it possibly where the theme ends up its formatting that too? Who knows.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks. That's interesting.

When the screen went off during trouble shooting that, recovery didn't shutdown or anything.. it continued with the process it was doing atm. For example a backup or restore.. you can watch that via watching the recovery.log.

There's a display vsync request timeout when this happens.

Regarding theme: it is stored on /system.

When you have that option to preserve your theme switched on, it should work.

Did you switch that on via the app or manually?

If manually, please send me your 4ext.prop to my mail address.

Thanks!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] Viper Matrix Wireless:
I got my versions mixed up before 3.0.2.4 was released there was a 3.0.0.6 that had some issues and one of the new features that was messed up was charging while in recovery thats as much as I can remember.

I'll send u my 4ext.prop.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
Okay, it is wrong!

you have themes.preserve=no in there and two times preserve.theme=yes ;)

I mixed that up yesterday when I told you about the switch.

It's themes.preserve and you shouldn't need to add, but change it to yes. Or use the app to set this setting which is only a checkbox tick..

Then your 4ext theme on format shouldn't get lost again.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] invasion2:
Yeah was restoring everything, got to data, and went black. What's the command to check the progress through terminal so we know it's safe to pull the battery/adb reboot recovery?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] stlouie65:
you can use adb shell tail -f /tmp/recovery.log
[myTouch 4G Android Development] madmaxx82:
This recovery is still not ready for the myTouch 4G.

Please don't use it unless you want to debug.

Sorry everyone! I'll pull it off the server now.

Will lock the thread now and open again once this is ready.

If you want to help with debugging, please send me an email.

Thank you!
