[HTC EVO 3D] m3mmo:
I have a problem with backing up my sd-ext.

I am using latest version of 4ext,and it says skipping sd-ext backup because sdext not found.But on info page it can clearly find it.

So what am I doing wrong?I can also see that it has done backup of sdext,because I can browse for it in backup folder,but it is not zipped file.I will put some pictures to clear it out for u:

Is there a fix for this or I just have to rename my sdext file in first picture to sdext.ext2.tar??

Thanks in advance
[HTC EVO 3D] madmaxx82:
This can happen when the filesystem is damaged. The latest versions give you a hint about what's wrong and how to correct that.

Please contact me the usual way (via recovery updater/control) so I can take a closer look at that.
[HTC EVO 3D] m3mmo:
I did that just now.

I always did nandroid with cwm recovery before,and it was always working in backing up sdext,but now it does not work.Hope u can resolve this.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] madmaxx82:
4EXT supports 2 sd-ext partitions, not just one. What's skipped was the second sd-ext partition (it said sd-ext2 in the text). Your first sd-ext partition was backed up ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] m3mmo:
Must say this:

This recovery is awesome and control app also.But the amount of hard work this developer puts in his work is incredible.I mean,every single mail regarding support is answered in 1-30min max.Way to go.Number 1 recovery,number 1 developer with number 1 support.Thanks for everything again m8.

Regards
[HTC EVO 3D] madmaxx82:
Thank you very much :)

Also for letting me know about the ext2 filesystem missing file extension issue and all the tests you have made!

Thanks to you the fixed build (70) of "v1.0.0.5 RC9 testing" is online now :)
[HTC EVO 3D] m3mmo:
You are welcome. :D

Hello,

Found out after unmounting/mounting my 64GB sd that some files in /data became corrupted for some reason. Using tar in 4EXT also prompted that /data might be damaged, so I changed backup type to yaffs and I was able to do Nand Backups.

My question now is, how do we fix damage internal file systems ? I saw that my Internal Memory was like 300MB then became 1MB so Im prrety sure its corrupted.

Tried 4EXT tools for fixing but it seems its targeting only SDCARD. Pls Enlighten my Noob Mind :))

Using the 4EXT recovery updater. I click the Online install. then the flashing will just begin, right? Will i lose any information or backups from CWM?

Dont know about backups but I flashed it over adb.

You shouldn't lose any backups as 4ext uses the same folder on the sdcard to store them.

I have a HTC Sensation with an old version of 4ext.

I have wiped the old ROM to install a new one but noticed that the new ROM needs a newer version of 4ext :eek:

Right now I only have my Bootloader to install .zip files,...

Is there a way to update 4ext via the Bootloader :confused:

Or do I have to install an old ROM to update 4ext via .apk file?

Greet`s Erich
[HTC EVO 3D] scorpion90:
yes, you can flash an old rom and through 4EXT Recovery Updater can update the recovery.

why you wrote in the section of the Evo 3D if you have a sensation?

this link is for sensation.
[HTC EVO 3D] devilzeye793:
Kindly HELP !!!!!! I have run into a serious problem.

Yesterday my phone suddenly rebooted itself and ever since then it has been stuck in BootLoop

I then jump to recovery to flash a new ROM.

But my recovery is Unable to access CACHE partition (I think same's the case with DATA partition too). So my recovery is stuck in SAFE MODE !

Recovery says that if you Wipe the Cache partition it will get out of the SAFE MODE. I tried that several time but no luck.

Kindly help me. What exactly has gone wrong with my phone? is it recovery that malfunctioned in first place?

Kindly provide some solution ASAP. I rely on my phone for everything from calls to emails and staying in touch with family and I can't really afford a new one right now =/

I was running 4EXT 1.0.0.6 RC 2 if I remember correctly or maybe its RC1 !

Is there any way I can directly contact madmaxx (the original creator of this recovery) as well?

I'm panicking right now !! don't really know what to do .....Google didn't really help me either.
[HTC EVO 3D] mhnx:
Try to wipe cache from fastboot. Maybe that will help you.

Sent from my Evo 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] Benik3:
Yeah, try to format with fastboot/adb.

That happen on friend's phone. I never get it back, probably dead memory chip...
[HTC EVO 3D] devilzeye793:
Thanks for replying both of you !! Well, whenever I connect my phone to my laptop via USB it says "USB device not recognized" and I've tried different cables and USB ports too ....Therefore I'm unable to access FASTBOOT USB mode :(

Also I checked my phone in recovery again today. Now its also having problems Mounting Sdcard partition

So I'm left with 3 Partitions NOT accessible in 4EXT Recovery (SAFE MODE) :

1. Cache

2. Data

3. Sdcard

Only System Partition is accessible. Does it mean this phone is hard bricked & ****ed ? :crying:

I had SlimBean 4.3 Rom when it all happened. My phone restarted itself on numerous occasions before too but it used to comeback to normal after rebooting. This time though it got stuck in bootloop! I'm really clueless here ! :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] mhnx:
Download HTC Sync and install it. After that connect the phone on fastboot and let it install the drivers. Reinstall the latest 4ext too. If you can't find any link for the recovery I can give you one.

[HTC EVO 3D] devilzeye793:
Yes I need one, Kindly provide me .img file for latest 4EXT Recovery. All I could find was an .apk file for 4EXT but since there's no running rom on my phone, its useless.

Edit: btw whats the latest 4EXT version available right now? is it 1.0.0.6 RC3?
[HTC EVO 3D] mhnx:
You got the GSM Evo right? This file is for GSM model if you have CDMA don't flash it. Here you can download the latest recovery which is 1.0.0.6_RC1. I wish you good luck. :)

Unfortunately, neither recovery flashing nor any fastboot erase command is working in FASTBOOT USB mode. I even tried "fastboot oem lock" command so I could proceed with running RUU but that also failed. It returned a weird error saying (remote: error too many links) ....something like that....

only command that works in fastboot is "fastboot reboot"

not sure what exactly is wrong with my device. :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] Benik3:
What to try flash stock RUU as PG86IMG.zip, but of course first remove H-BOOT from the .zip so it should not brick your phone...
[HTC EVO 3D] jag9:
1.0.0.6 RC2 is released

New version of 4ext recovery is released in may...

Another version is in testing and madmax require some testers :)

... Please someone also help him....
[HTC EVO 3D] devilzeye793:
OK, so currently:

1. Cache & Data partitions are not accessible in 4EXT Recovery 1.0.0.6 RC1

2. No Fastboot command except "fastboot reboot" is working in FASTBOOT USB mode :(

3. Can't even flash a new recovery in FASTBOOT USB

4. phone's S-ON

5. Bootloader is UNLOCKED

What can I do to recover my Evo 3d to normal/working condition so at least I can sell it and buy a new phone. Kindly help !! :rolleyes:

Some guy said it worked for him.

You can try it, it shouldn't happen anything if it doesn't work. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] outrage_uk:
I believe this is by design.

If you have your USB plugged into your computer, it "da dums" in the 3 seconds of LED turning off (USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0FF9&REV_0226) - connects, as if pre Bootloader. Then (USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0CCF&REV_0226) connects when charging starts.

Either way, best recovery, with charging problem solved. Perfect :D

Yes! Only a matching device resolution is needed.

So any themes for the Sensation will work great ;)

Thanks for the heads up, will look into it.

However: take screens in recovery directly: just press the search key.

After finishing taking screens, let it copy them to your sdcard by entering the tools menu and selecting "copy screenshots to ...."

If there are bugs, they are most likely mentioned in the warnings you get before flashing the recovery (using the app). There are only minor bugs (I haven't seen any SO FAR, anyway).

---------- Post added at 05:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Oh, for crying out loud! This was happening on my old Desire and Desire HD, and now it seems to be happening here, too. I've been using 4 different cards, the outcome is the same.

You know, "check partition alignment"... It always says "Your fat32 partition isn't perfectly aligned!", unless we formatted the card with the 4EXT Recovery. I just formatted my 16GB card with the phone a few days ago...
[HTC EVO 3D] madmaxx82:
No.

It has nothing to do with formatting. It's about partitioning ;)

You can format your card as often you want with any application you desire, it won't change the partition table.

And no, this is not directly related to it hasn't been *partitioned* with 4ext recovery. Although 4ext recovery always makes sure any partitions you create with it are correctly aligned (flash block erase size)

If your partition is aligned properly, the alignment check will say so.

You can use gparted (correctly) to do that too.

Regarding RC4:

RC4 didn't exist. Ever.

RC3 testing, build: 6 was the very first version released for the Evo 3D.

Now RC3 is out of testing, there was a build 7 in between.

The release date is the same as when it was first committed to testing.

If you have enabled notifications it will notify you that there's a new version available, in case you previously had RC3 testing installed.
[HTC EVO 3D] madmaxx82:
Thank you all very much for all your kind posts and your support :)
[HTC EVO 3D] madmaxx82:
Yes, this can be done it will most probably be done.

But at the moment it's not possible.

As obvious, logical and small this request seems.. a lot of changes are needed in code.

Those changes are necessary anyway though for upcoming changes ;)

So.. stay tuned :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Formhault:
Mmmmmmmkay... Makes perfect sense. I forgot about partitioning, thought if the memory card never had any partitions on it (aside from the FAT32 one), then only the FAT32 partition would be formatted and... oh well...

Okay, guess I'll have to backup my SD card and format it. Formatting (& implicitly partitioning) the SD card using 4EXT recovery would have the same outcome as using Gparted? [outcome = partition size and formatting :p ]

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 PM ----------

I realise it must have been my own visual fault then. The 4EXT app once showed all recovery versions messed up in the list and I thought perhaps it's giving errors and misplaced version names and stuf... Oh well, it's my fault, okay :D sorry for the excitement guys, there surely isn't a 4EXT Boot-Linux-Inside-Recovery build :D (who gets the joke, okay, don't put me explain it, lol).
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
Hey I've herd this doesn't work for the Evo 3 d yet is it true
[HTC EVO 3D] scariola:
For poeple taking about partition alignment...

I never used 4EXT recovery before, even the old non touch version.

I have used this new version to convert the system, data, and cache partitions from ext3 to ext4.

I also remember seeing an option to "wipe all partitions besides SD" under the new touch recovery, maybe if the alignment reads bad, you should try that option. Saves from having to move all your stuff from SD and back.

I have ran the alignment check with no problems, although never tried it before I did format the card with Panasonic SD Formatter initially.
