Thanks for pointing that out... Had forgotten...

Max can tell us what it really contains but i presume it is a copy

of the recovery that is in use... saving it to the sdcard for a rainy day ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
that option is already checked. i just can't find a "recovery.img" file and like i said the link that madmax pointed a member to for it (post161) doesn't work

must be missing something--:confused:

[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi!

When you flash a new recovery, it will put the file named after current date.recovery.img directly onto your sdcard.

If it doesn't do that, please re-check that option in application settings.

Furthermore you can just click that download icon on the same dialogue that appears when you select a certain recovery version (the dialogue with the changelog/known issues and install button).

This will put a zip file of the recovery to your sdcard. This zip file contains the recovery.img and an md5 file you can use if you like to verify the recovery.img manually.

When you install a new version via the app, it puts the extracted, already md5sum verified recovery.img to your sdcard.

You can save that recovery.img to your computer of course.

I would never save the 4ext app apk though.

When you need it again, just redownload it.

It's unlikely that when you want to reinstall the app, it hasn't been updated already.

that being said, please use a direct recovery.img flash only when really needed, or when you previously used the app to download/install this image.

You should use the app to flash the recovery at least the first time you flash a certain new version, because it sets your recovery config up, sets your time zone, and makes sure it removes any incompatibilities from older versions you might had installed et.c.

A new recovery version might need a different setup..

So best to use this recovery.img only when really needed or when you previously used the app to install/download that recovery version.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
thanks madmax

will recheck box and only wanted to use fastboot when absolutely necessary like you said

like the recovery--great job--:)

ken
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you :)
[Nexus One Android Development] baseballfanz:
It's just a copy of the recovery you're using. It's save to sd just incase you need it.
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
Tried to flash RC3 and it retried seven times, and then gave me a flashing error. I rebooted and then tried to flash again. This time it worked! :)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Thanks again madmax,

I did the red highlighted above and now have the recovery zip on my sdcard. I will extract it and put the recovery.img in my tools folder. Feel well protected now--:D

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] :
after a couple days of use i like this recovery a lot

nice not to have to boot into recovery to do bu

faster than amon_ra

initial screens before recovery probably have more info than I need, ok though

do you guys wipe more than once with the FULL wipe option (except sd card)

great app madmax--:D
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Flashed from BCMICS to CM7 Kang and going to backup. Fresh flash to get CM7 on 4ext cyanogen backup folder.

On hold now because I show two sdext--what's up????

Did nothing other than wipe all (except sdcard) and fresh flash Kang--

Know you can back up two ext but I only have one--

How do I know which one to uncheck? sdext2 seems logical--

Any quick help appreciated-----:)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Well, getting late, I flashed DaRk_dOg's theme--very cool--nice job

Booted into recovery and backed up with no sdext2 showing--will just rename after, since names are auto generated and can't be changed when you bu while in recovery

This way it stated no sdext2 found--skipping. so, guess I will just uncheck sdext2 when backing up from Control--seemed the right thing to do anyway--

Galaxy Tab 10.1 Support

I absolutely love using this on my Nexus One and I really miss it whenever I boot into recovery on my Galaxy Tab. Is there any chance a version could be made for the Galaxy Tab 10.1?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Starwars theme by MariusOX REALLY nice--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Wow,

Thread has slowed down. Guess everyone is enjoying a great recovery with fantastic themes available.

Lots of cool features and I really like being able to name backup before doing the backup.

This is from a very longtime Amon_Ra user--:)

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
Excellent recovery. m njoyin it. thanx Max :)

updated to 1.0.0.4 RC 3 and took a backup and noticed that it names the backup with date-time_rom but previous versions named the backup with date-time_romversion. which was very handy but not a big issue though.

also is it possible to include the partition layout(/system/cache/data) automatically while naming a backup. cos wid blackrose ppl tend to change their partition layout often. and by this way it would be safer. jus my thought

keep up the good work max :D
[Nexus One Android Development] :
as long as you are not using stock MIUI, no need to change sizes--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] Atento:
Sorry, but I don't know what files should I install to put this working. I'm in amonra recovery, but I think it's time to change.

I don't know what should I flash. There are 2 files on first topic. What of these should I flash?

Thank you and sorry for confusing, but amonra is simpler than this.
[Nexus One Android Development] Menelkir:
It's not confusing, you just didn't read the OP topic.

There's a Free Version and a Donate Version.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Get the donate version. Well worth it. Support the Devs--

question on final step in creating ext4 after repartition

it says: Finished.. now reloading volume table..

but has the check mark below as to continue

the first time i just tapped check mark it did not respond, let it go a few minutes and it responded

is it actually finished and we can continue or do you wai, as it does nothing for quite awhile--just curious

For help partitioning your SD card, see 4EXT Recovery - Partition guide. it's a PDF file for some it will pop up after 6 seconds if not it will download its self just open n read
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Hey Jay,

Assume that comment wasn't directed at me--:)

As a few posts back I supported buying donate versions also, and only had a wording comment/question for dev

This is a great recovery and easier than amonra once you get use to it--mainly do to touch and so many nice options--recommend everyone use it--:)

I bought this one as I do all paid apps and have donated several hundred dollars to devs over the last two years

One thing I don't like is members demanding features who have never donated, and there are probably plenty of them--

Just checkin since mine was last post and I asked a question--:)

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Oh, thank you very much :)

Thanks very much for your support :)

BTW: If you have urgent questions, please use the apps contact button or send me an email directly (better than pm).

I cannot monitor all threads everyday, so I will miss some posts.

Regarding your question:

When you see the button, it's finished.

I have no idea why it didn't respond at first.

Maybe a temporary touch event processing issue.

Just hit the button again.

Yes, it's finished then ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] Y2Ne1:
@ ken nooo way men i know YOU DO support developers like me :D cause without there epic work we all be IN STOCK ROMS -_- :mad: bad very bad lol

i just joined 2 months ago n doing what i can to help after all im a tester & a tweaker of roms ;)

@ madmaxx82 brooo KEEP UP THE EPIC WORK .... cause SHARE IS CARING ^_^ and your updates shows US you CARE ;) i would HIT THANKS button for both you & ken but i reached my 7 thanks limit of the day :mad: i wanted to THANK more people today :rolleyes:
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Jay,

That is what I thought, you have done a great job in two months. My first two months I was still trying to figure out what a bootloader was--:)

Don't worry about Thanks button, I have realized I am not catching the Great Temasek--:D

Thanks madmax--forgot about emailing--been awhile since I got a new app

Need help!! Stuck in format /system......

I change my hboot partition using blackrose to 220/10/206 to flash ICS and boot into recovery to wipe/format to flash new rom >>

Attn> recovery is in safe mode ..... cannot find /system partition.....if you have just repartition your hboot... please wipe all except sd card...

I choose wipe all except sd card

but the recovery is stuck at formatting system...... I left it for hours and nothing happened :(

I can format all other partitions but when it is format /system, that is when it will be stuck.

Tried to mount the SD card but the toggle usb function freeze and I had to remove the battery :(

I am stuck what do I do now? I want to safe my data on the sd card if I have to reformat the sd card. Any suggestion please?
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
"fastboot erase system" will solve your problem!

I will take a look at that problem with formatting system after a hboot change.

It sometimes happens.

To avoid this altogether for now, it is best to format all partitions (except sdcard) BEFORE you change hboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Thank you for the prompt response, really appreciate it.

I have not done any fastboot command before :( Sorry to bother you with this basis question; How do I run the command: fastboot erase system?

EDIT> Okay I got it :)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
i will answer for madmax

first do you have android sdk installed
[Nexus One Android Development] eidros:
Yes and I figured it out my friend but thanks any way. I installed the sdk but never got around to use it until today :)

Got the /system partition erased via fastboot and flashing the Bravo CM9 successfully. Eager to give stock ICS a run on my N1. Wish me luck please :)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
good luck and glad you had sdk--comes in handy--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
have a bu issue and not sure if 4ext related--never happend before

i did so far: reinstalled drivers--adb devices shows phone, did this since i am getting device warnings and losing connection to phone while in usb debugging mode

retried bu twice, sdcard was redone and had good bu's after that with good speeds

maybe cable?

will try a different rom, reflash 4ext or amonra and try

either way i get below warning

also below images are of first another earlier bu of bcmics 3.2 latest update rom and second current one that is failing--some mb differences, but not enough to be an isssue, i think

very slow transfer speeds from sdcard to pc also below 1mb

i will do a report and log on another bu if it leans toward 4ext--trying to eliminate things atm

finishing up another bu of a different rom made with 4ext--all ok

tried another bu of the bcmics3.2 rom from the 4ext menu to manage bu's. unchecked sdext2--it backed up but gave a read error. got no error on first two done from within recovery thru power menu

calling it a night soon as 12 hour work day tomorrow, so may not reply back till late tomorrow

thanks for any advice--again this may have nothing to do with 4ext unless bu is not being made correctly
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi,

got your mail.

The symptoms you describe like 1mb/s transfer speed et.c. make a hardware problem likely (you already formatted your sdcard you said).

Could you try out another card?

Are those backups okay when you use them on your phone? Then it might very well be the cable or port.

One fast way to determine that is to use 4ext recovery control to verify the md5sums of those backups where you have trouble with accessing them from your computer.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
thanks madmax

doubt it is 4ext just was looking for someone who saw similar notices

i am getting a new cable and will try a different port--my phone and laptop (use same port all the time) has been worked hard the last couple years

will try different card too

first I am going back to ealier bcm that had no issues--will reflash it and back it up

it is when I bu thru the Recovery choice as opposed to Power Menu that I get a file system error at end of back up--so, will retry the older rom

my CM7 phone bu copied to pc ok, but low speed--may be multiple issues

time to experiment--:)
[Nexus One Android Development] :
Update--thanks madmax

Seems it was sdcard anyway. Went back to my A-Data 16gb/Class 6 and all working atm-fingers crossed--will need to do a bu then xfer to laptop

Was getting 10-13mb reads and 4-6mb writes off the class 6--sure beats the <1mb I was getting toward the end of the Amazon Basic 16gb/Class 10. At least I eliminated cable and ports.

If this holds, bad review going on Amazon as first card I received was DOA. Think this wty is up by 5months.

May look at a Lexar or bigger name card--
[Nexus One Android Development] jbbandos:
Stay away from class 10 cards on the Nexus One. From my experience, it will have slow speed, data corruption, etc. The same cards that had problems on the N1 are now on a Blade and on a camera, and work well there.

In the end I got a Sandisk and it is very fast and stable.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
thanks jb

i did read a lot on class 10's long time ago and saw they were still developing for android, so to speak, esp 32gb. however my class 6 has same device/port issue now, no errors on backing up to pc yet.

i then got new usb cable and put cm7 kang back on phone still have class6 installed. no issues at all except for the "E: read error" after doing a bu with 4ext

i will redo fix permissions and file system check to see if that eliminates read error--it did

so i think cards are ok maybe usb cable since new one fits much better--read speeds are 9mb on the A-Data class 6 on last bu to pc

i copied some of the ics roms back and forth from pc to phone that gave the errors above in my screenshots and no issues--hopefully just usb cable

i won't tie up thread anymore on this unless the read error persists
[Nexus One Android Development] altruistic666:
Seems to be a cable.... same port can sometimes cause issue.

I'm sure u ll be golden with those
[Nexus One Android Development] :
yeah fingers crossed--didn't think a cable would give the errors on the screenshots I posted above--hopefully that is all it was--:)

i'll leave the class 6 A-Data in for a while
[Nexus One 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)​
[Nexus One Android Development] altruistic666:
Can you confirm on whats the issue u faced? Is it resolved?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
usb cable seems to have fixed it, i guess the bad cable wasn't letting the phone/laptop read each other and not identifying files that were there, hence the screenshot errors, not sure on that theory though

only issue is still get read errors after some bu's

and sometimes it takes one or two tries to get file check to be ok

but neither have effected roms or transfers, maybe they are just common place

ken
[Nexus One Android Development] Atento:
Sorry if it's already answered, but is the last version working with custom hboot and partitions sizes?

Thank you.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
yes, but the recovery shouldn't be impacted by that
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes, but to make sure everything works out smoothly, format all partitions (except sdcard) inside recovery before you change hboot!

If you are using cmtd, also make sure you format all partitions except sdcard in recovery, then apply your cmtd settings, reboot recovery and again format all partitions.
[Nexus One Android Development] behelit:
Any links to just the recovery image? I don't want to use the apps for several reasons.

[Nexus One Android Development] Y2Ne1:
MAX help me bro im stuck :( i was installing Speed Rom ICS 2.2.0 with 4EXT now im stuck on bootscreen even when i try to go into recovery its keeps saying preparing boot 1,2,3,4, configuring setting then recovery ready then keeps doing this over n over again i can't even use the rom as it's stuck on bootscreen :( I WANNA CRY :(
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you all very much ;)

Galaxy Nexus will come, maybe Flayer too, but later.

Hey, are you on a testing build?

Which version and build are you on?

Use fastboot erase system

This should get you booted again into recovery.

You have Nexus One or an Amaze? Since you posted there..
[Nexus One Android Development] Mikey:
Awesome Thank You for the SGN....cant ask for everything ;) *Transformer*

1 out of 2 is sweet :)
[Nexus One Android Development] Y2Ne1:
no not testing build

which version that idk :confused: i'm using the Amaze ....

noob question how do i fastboot erase system i never did install adb or drivers i just use sd card adapter ....:(
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
Yes!!! I hope GNexus is soon. For now, I'm using TWRP :/
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
u need to hv sdk installed to use fastboot commands....
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes the Amaze only has testing builds at the moment

The problem you have is due to a lower version.

This bug was already fixed in build 97.

Send me a pm and I will help you out with getting fastboot work on your Amaze.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
@Jay

For Windows, I don't think you need sdk to fastboot. But, you do need the bootloader unlocked. You need the fastboot/adb drivers which would include the fastboot.exe/adb.exe files and adbwinapi.dll/adbwinusbapi.dll files on your C drive in same folder. I think you can get them from the wiki or BR Op page. If I am wrong on this someone correct me.

To erase system you need to type what you typed "fastboot erase system" from a command window while in fastboot mode on phone and you cd to folder/directory on pc where you have those files.

Ken
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
One more thing to mention:

Since you have an Amaze you are on a testing build.

And since you have this bug, it's a lower build number.

Exactly this bug with exactly this rom has been fixed in the latest builds that have been released for the Amaze.

So you don't need to fastboot erase. It would be enough to flash the latest recovery.

If your rom boots at the moment you can do that with 4ext app easily.

Otherwise you can flash the new recovery via fastboot, but I can also create a bootloader flashable zip for you.

Just message me and I'll help you out.
[Nexus One Android Development] APrinceAmongMen:
I never thought I'd see the day when we'd have a touch recovery! :D

Any chance you can get Koushik to include this in ROM manager or even better, mash it with Clockwork API's? :D
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Since 4ext has an own api and is able to perform many, many more actions than Rom Manager -> CWMR, this doesn't make sense.

You can still use Rom manager if you like, it wil lalso work when 4ext is installed.

But due to 4ext works and its features, it's highly configurable and so you need to use one of the 4ext apps (free or paid) to set it up and take advantage of configuring recovery (change time zone, haptic feedback, change default backup options, use or not use 4ext smartflash and many more)

Even the browsing of different versions, changelogs, known issues, notifications et.c. are things rom manager doesn't support.

The whole App -> Recovery design is just completely different.
[Nexus One Android Development] Y2Ne1:
@ Ken & Max thanks guys i solved the problem on my own with a lil help n lots of sheba lol i am now ENERGY ICS Rom :) i just used the ALL-in-1-toolkit ^_^ KEEP UP THE AWESOME work max cause 4ext recovery is the only recovery i TRUST ^_^
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thanks very much and glad you solved it ;)

Recovery Control and recovery itself updated ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
In case someone hasn't noticed yet:

v1.0.0.5 RC3 is now finally out of testing ;)

New features and changes, please check the changelog.
[Nexus One Android Development] hellacopterous:
I love 4EXT Touch Recovery, it's light years ahead of CWR and AmonRa's recovery. It's really easy to use and just great.

I would like to request a (hopefully) simple feature: battery drain mode

Sometimes it's good to let a battery run to nothing, do a full charge, and delete battery stats to kind of "reboot" the battery.

Sometimes, though, when you have 5-10% left in the battery, it takes a long time to actually drain.

It would be cool to have a feature that did the following:

1. disabled all power saving features in recovery to speed up battery draining

2. delete battery stats and make sure that nothing writes to it until the phone dies

3. turn up screen brightness, crunch digits of pi and output those digits to the screen. i figure that should be good enough to drain the battery?

4. hopefully this will all work and the phone will finally shut off once it fully runs out of juice, not because it has to auto-shut off at a certain level.

does that sound like a decent idea?

thanks for all of your hard work!
