Flash on Thunderbolt

I have 4EXT on my Nexus One before I flashed the MeDroid ICS and now tried to install the apk to my Thunderbolt but it keeps saying "can not get data from servers". Also, the app force closes all the time. Can I use it on the Thunderbold; can I just flash the .img via fastboot on the Thunderbolt?

Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Unfortunately the Thunderbolt isn't on the list of supported devices yet. That's also why the app force closes. This is ofc bad behavior and won't happen again after the update which will be ready during the next few days.

But this doesn't change ofc that the Thunderbolt isn't supported yet.

Please follow me at google+ or twitter if you like to get notified once it's supported.

Currently there's so much to do with 4ext that I cannot tell you when this will be though.

I noticed sometimes /sdcard is mounted automatically, sometimes its not. I noticed this since I started using 4EXT recoveries.

Does anyone else have the same problem?

I re-partitioned it recently because all media files (songs and photos) and nandroids were suddenly corrupted and showed up in LOST.DIR.

Edited: Seems it's normal to not auto mount /sdcard before /sdcard is being used, and the corrupted files I had don't seem to be the recovery's fault.
[Nexus One Android Development] bimasakti85:
Me too. I've solved this by reverting to the classic one, fix the sdcard file system and reflashed the rom.

[Nexus One Android Development] gryffindor:
Brilliant, man. Just one problem, I can't use the recovery to mount /sdcard on either of my PCs. Everytime I wanna toggle "mount /sdcard" it shows "unmount /sdcard" and no matter how I switch back and forth it just shows nothing as a removable device on my PC. Anyone have problems like this?
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
regarding corrupted fat32 file systems.. this has nothing to do with 4ext recovery touch!

The sdcard is mounted automatically because it reads its config file on boot.

Hehe you need to press "toggle usb storage" it's in the main menu directly..

Not the option to mount /sdcard inside mounts&storage ;) that's something different.
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
How goes the developing of RC4 and the app update? :D
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Hehe unfortunately the app update is much more work than I had thought..

I really hope to be ready in 2-3 days..
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
Take your time :D

Have a nice cup of coffee, sit down and enjoy the weekend :D

Thank you :)

In 4EXTRecoveryUpdater there is no file called recovery.img
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Any recovery you have flashed is on your sdcard..

here is a direct link: www.4ext.net/mahi.zip

BTW: New version of app and should be released today or latest tomorrow :)

Only french translation is missing :/

If anyone speaks french and had time for that, please let me know :)
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
I'm sorry I can not remember how I did this the first time. Can you explain it to me in detail please. I've been without a phone for the last 3 days now
[Nexus One Android Development] baseballfanz:
put the recovery,img file in the same folder as your fastboot.exe

Boot phone into bootloader, hold down trackball while powering on(fastboot NOT Hboot)

Plug phone to usb cable and open cmd window

Type in fastboot devices, if it return your device id continue

Type

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

For more help check out the wiki
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
thank you

When I type fastboot devices it says fastboot is not recognized as an internal or external command
[Nexus One Android Development] Theshawty:
You need to navigate to that folder thru cmd or shift-right click and select open console here and then type your fastboot commands.
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
Thank you.

Is it possible with this recovery to resize your internal partition like data, cache etc? I need that for ICS (BlackRose)...
[Nexus One Android Development] Bi0haZarD:
there is only BlackRose for that function u seek.
[Nexus One Android Development] Icarez:
Hello.

I'm trying to install the medroid ics rom for the nexus one.

I've already installed the BlackRose HBoot.

I've also installed the 4Ext Recovery Touch (using the updater apk). Because the medroid rom help said its recommended to use a ext3 or ext4 formatted sd card.

But i cannot find how to format my sd card into ext3 or ext4 using the recovery. It's always telling me partitionning in fat32.

Btw i'm coming from a CM7 rom 2.3.7 with a RA Recovery.

Thanks !
[Nexus One Android Development] heywtf:
Madmaxx, do you have any plans to support the newly announced HTC phones when they arrive in April?
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
I did a fastboot-w flash recovery recovery.img and I get this message,

sendind 'recovery' <3730kb>...

OKAY [ 0.545s]

writing 'recovery' ...

OKAY [ 1.211s]

finished. total time: 1.75s

But when I reboot, I'm still go into 4ext recovery touch shell and it times out after 60 seconds and just hangs there.

Please anyone help
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Of course ;) But not in April already.. will take some time.

Do you have a working sdcard? Are you upgrading from classic? Which version did you flash? Are you using a custom mtd? Do you currently have a rom installed you could boot up?
[Nexus One Android Development] dnsmo:
Any ETA on my phone yet? Thanks
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
I have a working sd card and I was trying to upgrade blackrose and it said it was successful then I went to reboot. That's when the phone would just keep rebooting, but it would go in recovery so I was trying to reinstall 4ext
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
Not yet, sorry. Still completely occupied by current tasks for 4ext.

Oh I see.

Assuming you have made a nandroid before,

Use those commands in fastboot mode:

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

then boot up the recovery.
[Nexus One Android Development] iakeco:
Will give it a try. thanks

[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
Sorry for the noob question, but i would like to know what is the difference between the options WIPE DATA vs FORMAT DATA ?
[Nexus One Android Development] amolji:
I think wipe data means like factory reset and format means totally erase the data.
[Nexus One Android Development] madmaxx82:
No need to be sorry :)

Wipe data/factory reset means to reset the device to first boot state.

So data, cache, sd-ext,.. is formatted. But not /system or boot

format data refers to the data partition and does exactly that: it formats /data, and only /data.
[Nexus One Android Development] n1newbie:
Thanx for ur kind n quick reply max :)

So if i hv to say flash a new rom or restore a backedup rom then i need to do all r8? Wipe data, wipe dalvik+cache n format data n format system to be on safer side

But so far i hv jus been doing wipe data n wipe dalvik+cache
[HTC Sensation] dmcb123:
does anyone know if we will still be able to update via OTA means if we unlock bootloaders,root,s-off etc.... on sony ericsson phones they cant update if they unlock bootloaders.

sorry if this was already answered i didnt find it..... :/
[HTC Sensation] xdviper:
No, not if you're not using the stock rom.

Custom roms will always be updated faster than stock OTA updates.
[HTC Sensation] dmcb123:
so when the official ics is released if i reflash stock rom i will be fine when updating?
[HTC Sensation] mzmo:
You'd have to be on the stock rom and stock recovery. So you might aswell run the RUU for your phone and you'll be good to go.
[HTC Sensation] UnixSlayer:
Stock RUU.......

Seems the stock ROM's aren't perfect. Take a chance......:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] brilldoctor:
When the ics ota comes out it will likely have a new bootloader which revolutionary won't like. Htcdev should work
[Motorola Droid RAZR] benefit14snake:
Already started! Been spamming facebook for two days...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] con5tant:
what is the point of this? if it's about the bootloaders try spamming Verizon instead as Motorola has already announced that the bootloaders are locked at the discretion of carrier
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
If they don't push for it but rather propose the idea lightly, we're not going to get anywhere. HTC and Samsung (w/ the help of google) did it, so can Moto.

Plus, they promised the second half of 2011, and they haven't started in any market anywhere, internationally or state-side.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] garywojdan81:
And hey, the voice of the people just got Verizon to rethink its $2 convenience fee.

The voice of the people is what got us that announcement in the first place. Go!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hoag50:
The bootloaders will be unlocked with ICS this has been comfirmed by a VZW employee but the release date for ICS is still up in the air

[Motorola Droid RAZR] benefit14snake:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] vgupman:
Yeah seriously if it's not an executive it means nothing, and an executive would never just announce something like that casually.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Topgun966:
Thats already been proven as a BS excuse from Moto. HTC unlocked their bootloaders on VZW's phones.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
Just post this over and over on their facebook wall.

“In terms of your question – we completely understand the operator requirement for security to the end user, and as well, want to support the developer communities desire to use these products as a development platform. It is our intention to enable the unlockable/relockable bootloader currently found on Motorola XOOM across our portfolio of devices starting in late 2011, where carriers and operators will allow it.”

HTC was allowed by Verizon Wireless to unlock the HTC Thunderbolt, your excuses are invalid now Moto!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Dark_Wizard:
Start a petition at http://www.change.org like the one that just made Verizon change the $2 fee....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bb12489:
hmm....late 2011....seems like that has come and gone now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hidden_hunter:
I'm not entirely sure why people are touting your excuses are now invalid based on HTC unlocking their bootloaders. It's not like Motorola and HTC are going to have identical contracts with Verizon
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
HTC and Samsung were able to pull it off. I highly highly doubt their contract even brushes against the bootloaders at all, anyway.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] opensourcefan:
What if moto is just hiding behind the carriers to never unlock them. Yes others have done it and to me it doesn't that hard to convince a carrier, unless of course you're not trying too hard. We can all move onto other devices but really what's the ratio of us hardcore users vs those that don't even know what a bootloader is. We can spam their social pages I guess but even there you're getting resistance from regular users who aren't in our hardcore world standing up for moto thinking they are the greatest thing since slice bread. But hey, if we don't try who's going to.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Asus felt the heat, now it's time we step our game up on Moto. Can someone repost this wherever possible (X, X2, Bionic, Xyboard, Atrix 2, Rootz, Droidforums, etc. Forums) and link back to this thread so we stay organized, and we'll launch a full out war against Moto for their lies. Go!

(Also feel free to click Submit this Thread as a News Tip at the top right thanks ok)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Z4nd4r:
If anything, it should be easier for Moto to do this than for HTC or Samsung, since Moto devices carry Verizon's Android experience. Not that the HTC and Sammy phones are bad or worse, but phones like the Droid, Droid X, Droid 2, Droid Bionic, Droid RAZR, etc. are the flagship phones for Verizon. If anything, Verizon has more onus to be harsh with HTC and Samsung over Motorola (Bing as default comes to mind).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
They already have the phone-side software there on the newer models, we're just waiting for them to flip the switch on "fastboot oem unlock" to allow. That's literally it. It's stupidly easy. Keep going!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] globed:
Radiocomm ive never user so i cant dispute that butt i can dispite that even in roms keep i. Mind im talking about bionic razr locked bootloaders that its not a true hotspot. It doesnt actually use the spectrum that verizon hosts it on. It uses the 4g or 3g network

In my opinion its still a tether. Just an opinion. Same purpose but different.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] globed:
Idk why were arguing haha look call it a hotspot i dont find.it a true hotspot. Radiocomm i suppose u could use for a true hotspot. I looked into that so u r right there the point is with an unlocked bootloader its easier. We need the bootloaders unlocked.

---------- Post added at 09:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

Mobile Hotspot still uses your phones data connection and passes the packets to your WiFi internal radio. Whether its 3g or 4g. There is no other magic data connection unless you are referring to WiMax which these phones are not using.

I just looked at Moto's FB page. They are getting slammed on the bootloader issue. Love it.. Keep on going they will eventually cave in if we hit them with FCC, complaits, FB postings, Tweets, emails, Petition, etc.......
