WOW! read about your touch recovery and just read that it's now on the n1 too, immediately flashed it and boy is it good, and the update application is sweet too.

this will replace amon_ra for me, after i re-do my current backups w/ 4ext.

even the back button works now!

one thing would be even cooler, if one could download roms with an integrated browser for goo-inside.me that automagically get's the md5sum, but that's the only thing that i can currently think of.

i heard that you are planning on trying to add galaxy nexus support, this would be super awesome, since this is my main device now :)

thanks so much, will buy the application soon.
[Nexus One Android Development] j00m:
will try to install this manual by fastboot
[Nexus One Android Development] amolji:
Cheers to devs...one of greatest upcoming recovery i believe.but recovery ui is Lil slow maybe because its in beta or its a recovery lol.but best recovery ever tried
[Nexus One Android Development] Bi0haZarD:
Totally agree - but no THANKS button in OP? madmaxx82 done awesome work on 4ext recovery - deserves at least THANKS button...
[Nexus One Android Development] Rod3:
Recovery is awesome, appreciate the great work (using paid market version).

Not sure if it is related, but once I switched to this recovery, I had a problem where my wallpaper got stuck on the green grass. I could change it manually, but any themes applied with the theme changer would change everything but the wallpaper.

I completely wiped and switched back to Amon-Ra and fixed the problem. Love the touch recovery but a little hesitant to switch back.
[Nexus One Android Development] Xialis:
I have flash this Touch revovery with the paid app market... I don't know why but i had to flash it twice. When I tried to boot into recovery after the first flash, AmonRa has been replaced by... nothing :eek:

Anyway, the recovery seems to work ;) Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] cpm:
I experienced that exact same problem. Working now though.
[Nexus One Android Development] Rod3:
In addition to my wallpaper fiasco, I experienced this as well.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
No problems at all so far with this fantastic recovery!

Are you planning to migrate your tool & recovery also the Galaxy Nexus?

Many thanks again

How to convert yaffs to ext on nexus one

How to convert yaffs filesystem on nexus one to ext

i want to convert system , data & cache partition from yaffs to ext4 to install ics on my nexus one

i already installed 4ext touch recovery but it only converts sd-ext partition.

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you ;)

Yes! Absolutely!

This is not possible unfortunately :(
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
New release with quite a lot of changes.

Unfortunately the back button didn't make it into that one, but I will work on it tomorrow.

To anyone who is updating: It might be necessary to flash it twice.

If you reboot into recovery and it isn't there ;) just flash once more and it will be ok.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
the back button already works for me and i haven't updated yet :)
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
The hardware back button?
[Nexus One Android Development] :
i'm not 100% sure, bit i remember having used it last time during my backup migration.

can't replicate it right now, weird.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
So the hardware back button still doesn't work? Didn't think otherwise.. but would have been a nice surprise :)

Well.. please use the onscreen back button then just like before.

I will work on the back key.
[Nexus One Android Development] :
i'm still on beta 7, trying to research if i remember it right, gonna flash beta 8 soon, will report back then :)

edit: yup, i was right, the hardware back button works in beta 7. just finished a backup and instead of touching the "ok" box, i pressed back and the dialogue vanished. didn't work anywhere else though.

edit2: on beta 8 now, the hardware back key still doesn't let me go back, if i'm in a menu. this is not an issue for me though. should be a low priority :)

i don't flash that often nowadays, but this recovery and CM9 are my top wishes for my galaxy nexus setup. good work.
[Nexus One Android Development] dnsmo:
So I should wait beta 9 then thank you
[Nexus One Android Development] :
if you "need" the hardware back button for the usual navigating, it's not there yet, so yes i guess.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
The onscreen back button works very well.. of course the hardware back key should also work!

This is the last beta.. next one will be a RC with working hardware back key on the N1 :)

BTW: Please update to Beta 9 in case you are using ext3 partitions.

I had forgotten 1 line in the config for the nexus One that could cause a restore to fail in case you had ext3 partitions.

Sorry for that!
[Nexus One Android Development] cbuddy:
madmaxx... you are really mad. IT's just great. Never use this type of utility before. works great. Love it. Flashed and install my nexus one rom miui 12.30. before i was using (for trial) ICS. and before flashed miui back up my ICS. tried your restore...its great. working really...did not believe it. Change rom is never be so easy for me.

A small advise: PLS PLS.. write your version in your web page that we can know when you updated. I know need to use automatic update in the program but i mostly did not turn on wi-fi and 3G. But check your web page in my laptop.

Thank you for this great utility. Really love it and believe its much more usefull than others. for example i delete my titanium backup in my system. Cause no need anymore.

This recovery doesn't work with BlackRose hboot. Can someone confirm? If its not intended to work with BR then please provide that info already in the OP or extend the requirements to stock_hboot...

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] Bi0haZarD:
for me this recovery IS working fine with blackrose hboot

maxx: The hardware button works fine for me in beta 7. Well, fine isn't exactly the word I'd choose. You have to sort of rub your finger around the area of the button for a good 2-3 seconds. However, it eventually picks it up and works great. Seems like it either doesn't get the event very quickly *or* the location for the button is off a bit. Not sure.

But, I just wiped my system, partitioned my SD and flashed a new ROM all with using *only* the hard ware back.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you all very much :)

Could someone please try out www.4ext.net/mahimahi.zip ?

It's not a recovery flashable zip. You need to extract it and flash via fastboot or Android Flasher.

Startup time and touch responsiveness should be improved.

Please also tell me if there's any improvement regarding the hardware back button.

Thank you!
[Nexus One Android Development] Nedlinin:
Startup time on the screen dropped from 15s down to 3 on my device. However, menu didnt actually appear and become usable for another 3-4 seconds.

In my case, my hardware buttons went from being semi-usable in Beta 7 to totally unusable in this version of the recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulk_:
Not sure why, but after changing to 4EXT I find that I am having problems flashing any custom kernels on top of my CM7 Kangs. Seems that after I flash a custom kernel (tried pershoot, intersectraven and the KGPNeok kernels), my EXT4 partition is no longer recognised (S2E can no longer "see" the partition).

Tried this with CM7 Nightly 253, a previous kang based on 253 and the latest kang.

Anyone else have this problem?
[Nexus One Android Development] jchap2k:
Doesn't work for me with BlackRose. Just stays in the bootloader screen and never gets into recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] Nedlinin:
Working great with Blackrose for me..

Weird. Maybe funny partition sizes? What are you two with issues using for your partitions?

I'm using the (relatively) standard 220/16/200 mapping.
[Nexus One Android Development] jsc619:
Thanks for this! This is awesome. Works great on Blackrose by the way
[Nexus One Android Development] amolji:
Try to flash one more time.It worked for me in second try with br custom hboot.
[Nexus One Android Development] N1_Fan:
No issues with ir kernel here using latest fits kang. I am not using black rose.
[Nexus One Android Development] Reaper82:
I had this exact same problem. Tried to flash kgpneok-nexroid-ultimates39ti kernel on CM7.1 Stable and link2sd broke and all my apps ended up on my data partition (with 0mb left). System booted but was unusable and sometimes it just boot looped. Nexus One using 4ext Touch 1.0.0.3 beta 9.

On another note the hardware back button doesn't work but the soft touch button does. Otherwise love the interface.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
v1.0.0.3 Release Candidate 1 pre-release now available for testing :)

Please see #1st post.

Please tell me whether the hardware back button now works, or not.

If it doesn't it will be solved before rc1 is released.
[Nexus One Android Development] jspina:
Here is my guide on how to install this recovery. It is very detailed just in case these guides arent enough. It is for the t-mobile g2 but they are pretty much the same for this! http://htcg2romtesting.blogspot.com/2012/01/how-to-install-ext-4-recovery-on-t.html Please consider buying the app, clicking on my ads or donating to this amazing developer! This truely is the greatest recovery made! great job and thanks so much for creating this!

Wow!

And thanks very much for the guide!

This will be very useful for newbies.

Will add it to 1st post if you don't mind :)

[Nexus One Android Development] paulk_:
If you had this problem, do you still have it? Or how did you solve it? Tried a lot of things but haven't managed to fix it.
[Nexus One Android Development] mykegger:
Yup! Already tested RC1 with wiping cache/dalvik and performing a backup. Scrolling was smooth and quick. Hardware back button was still a no go.

Still my favorite recovery by far; even without the back button.

I haven't solved this sadly and since it's my main work phone didn't have time to play with fixes. I restored my phone using a backup and have given up on custom kernels for now. Just running stock CM7.1 kernel.
[Nexus One Android Development] paulk_:
My N1 is my main work phone too, but I've had enough time to try a bunch of fixes that didn't work and ended up using the stock kernel too. Drop me a PM if you ever manage to solve it? Cheers!

[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
You can flash any theme for 800x480 devices, which means themes for any device currently supported by 4ext recovery except the sensation ;)
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
I had a more detail version before I reflashed Texasice. After the refresh this is the user interface I now have. Does anyone know why.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
It seems you didn't buy 4EXT Recovery Control.

What you see is the standard interface of the free Updater App.

For the first 3 days it includes all features of the paid app, so people who are interested can test it before they buy it.

After that period is over it is just the Updater App.
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
Thanks I didn't realize that. It's a great app and I'm going to buy it.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Is someone there who would help test the hardware back key?
[Nexus One Android Development] tonyeva:
Find no RC1

Can not locate RC1 on the Online install|upgrade

Could you check again if it's in the database, please.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Yes that's why I asked if someone was available for testing getting it to work.
[Nexus One Android Development] tonyeva:
Flashed it.

Hardware back botton not working, sir.

Would you help me with testing to get it to work?

If you have time I will send you a pm.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:

Thanks to ctfromn for debugging and tonyeva for final testing the buttons now finally work :)

Please grab the current RC1 testing 11 from #1st post, try it and post your findings (responsiveness/buttons.. working...?)

4EXT Recovery Touch 1.0.0.3 Beta 9

Stuck at "configuring settings" after changing the partition layout....:-( Help

::Edit::

Solved the issue by using the provided partition file in the OP of the ROM...

just for the info, ROM is Sebastiaan15's.

Just dont partition yourself using the BReditor :-)
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Changed hboot without wiping before doing that?

Please use the following:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

Then boot recovery again and it will work.

This shouldn't be necessary anymore in rc1.

Update: the need to wipe your data before changing hboot was reintroduced in one of the testbuilds for rc1.

Once rc1 is officially released or even in the next testbuild of rc1, it won't be necessary anymore to wipe before.. recovery will boot always.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
solved.

testing 12 is online.

recovery will now also boot without problems if you change hboot/partition layout without wiping before.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
After a long time of testing, RC 1 is finally released ;)

It replaces all previous versions.

Sorry to disappoint you there..

Unfortunately it is only compatible with backups made by CWMR or any other compatible recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] Reaper82:
Have installed RC2 and will test. Had to flash twice the first time didn't take. Only issue I had with the previous version (beta9) was the hardware back button not functioning. RC2 the button is working so very happy.

This is my favourite recovery so far and I paid for the 4ext recovery control app.

HTC Desire or Nexus One?

I am using a Sense base rom,

it keeps telling me it's a Desire.

Ireply "no", but the popup windows disappears

and can't choose Nexus One! Are those two identical?

May I use HTC Desire instead?:confused:
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much :)

No, you really need to select Nexus One.

Did you once by mistake select Desire?

If so, there is a bug that doesn't allow you to change your device to another one once /after it was changed manually.

Currently working on the App and will correct that ofc.

Update for the App should be ready in a few days.

Please enter settings/apps/manage select it and clear its data so you can start with a new config of it.

Strange that it detects your device as Desire.. the build.prop of your rom seems to use bravo instead of mahimahi/passion.

Recovery not flashing

Hi Max,

The latest RC2 gives an error while flashing from the 4Ext Recovery Updater.

I tried many times, but no go.. Even tried it the way it is mentioned when you get the error, ,, By disabling logging in Superuser etc etc..

Am trying the manual way via fastboot,,, will keep you posted.

Edit -- Flashed via fastboot and worked..

Just tried entering the recovery and used the hardware back button and it works. :)

Cheers....

Will try from within the rom and see if any problems.... Thanks man...

regards

greg
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi! That's caused by the environment you are in. Did you try updating your busybox? You can use free apps like busybox installer from the market..

Superuser and busybox are the only things that could cause any problems..

[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi everyone :)

I'd like to release RC3 shortly, but since there were some changes for handling events I'd like to make sure the hardware back key still works before I release it ;)

Is someone there who'd try that out? Won't take longer than a few minutes.

Just tell me and I will upload the recovery.

Thank you!

how to you mount the system direction using the usb when inside the recovery? I try but it will not show. thank you
[Nexus One Android Development] Rod3:
I love this recovery, but it seems that my N1 doesn't. I can't say with absolute certainty that the recovery is causing my problems, but i have NEVER had problems until flashing this.

Out of the blue my phone starts to lag, browser begins force closing immediately. I try restoring the browser.apk from a backup. No dice. I reboot the phone, get stuck in an infinite bootloop. I go into recovery and try reflashing the ROM and nothing. I reflash any older version of the ROM (FuZZ's CM7 Kangs) and it boots, but I get stuck with the green grass wallpaper.

At first I thought it was the ROM, but this has happened to me twice with different versions of the same ROM. Once I reflash Amon-Ra recovery and restore from backup I can then use the same ROM that was giving me problems when using 4EXT recovery with no problems.

I am using the paid version of 4EXT and really want to use it as it is hands down the best (when it works for me). Really digging the touch controls, especially since the hardware back button now works.

Could my issues possibly be due to having a locked bootloader (though rooted)?
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
just hit toggle usb storage :)

I really have no idea what's causing that in your case.

If you say that at first apps started to force close out of the blue, without you having actually used the recovery to do anything, then this was absolutely not recovery related.

But regarding your following text:

To rule out anything, please take a backup, then format all partitions (wipe menu -> "format all partitions (except sdcard)")

And flash the rom.

If that works, then for a further test please take a new backup of this new working installation and restore it.

Please try that out.

I can only say that there's no known issue regarding that. The Desire is quite similar to the N1, although not completely of course.

There are some 10 thousand installations on the Desire and noone has reported something similar.

Currently there are no known issues for v1.0.0.3 RC3.

Please try it out.
[Nexus One Android Development] Pr0fess0rX:
@madmaxx82 I have the latest busybox 1.19.3 from "Busybox Installer" from the market and I couldn't install either RC2 or RC3 from RC1 I had to download it and extract "recovery.img" from the zip file and install it from fastboot:

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Is there any reason for that?

BTW: I'm using blackrose HBoot with 220-16-200 partition layout!?
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
It's possible that flash_image is unable to write to the recovery partition. In that case you can only use fastboot to flash any recovery. Is everything completely unlocked?

Is rom manager able to flash cwmr5?

sent from a phone using xda premium
[Nexus One Android Development] Pr0fess0rX:
I upgraded from the normal 4ext recovery to the touch RC1 version via 4EXT Recovery Control 2.1.4 since then I can't upgrade!

Since I don't like CWM so no I din't try the Rom Manager since a long time! but I remember flashing CWM easily!!
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
It has absolutely nothing to do with which recovery you currently have flashed!

I asked regarding cwmr5 via rom manager because there were older versions which were just installed as "fake flash".

It would be very good to know if rom manager is able to flash cwmr5 with your current configuration of hboot etc..

However you can simply flash 4ext recovery touch 1.0.0.3 rc3 by using the download option and then flash it via fastboot.

I'm unable to install the ics theme that was posted some pages back. Says its impossible to install themes on the touch version...
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hi,

All themes are flashable zips so you can install them like any other mod or rom ;)

It's just the theming features of the app where you can change colours yourself are not yet available because the touch version still changes theming capabilities.. some features will follow soon :)
[Nexus One Android Development] uoY_redruM:
So the zip file is just flashable via recovery? I thought you had to use the control panel to install the zip file.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Themes were always flashable via recovery. But on classic you could use the app to do that with preview and change colour feature.

Since the ui of the touch version is MUCH more complex and is still subject to change a little you cannot use those features for the touch versions yet.

Until then you can just flash the themes via recovery like any other flashable zip ;)
