No need for PC... :D flash kernel from recovery... Those kernel flashers are SOOOO old skool :D

Check out OP... MadMaxx has quote of how smart flash works. It recognizes changes in the boot.img from ROMto ROM... It flashes it while flashes the ROM. If your boot.img is different, you will get an extra prompt notifying you of the change. When you reboot from recovery, if u flashed a new kernel, you will get an extra reboot before the boot animation. Don't be alarmed... It's all cool baby! :cool:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Flyin18T:
Purchased. Great app. Thank you very much.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
He's actually a couple/few builds beyond 40 right now.. perfecting the recovery for us... When its done, you will be able to update via the 4ext app
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Yes of course you can!

Those themes are all packed into flashable zip files.

If you don't install them via the app though you must watch out even more that they match your resolution (960x540).

The app makes sure the theme is compatible with your device.

You install a theme via install zip and then you reload theme?

And then it turns black?

Which theme is it?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I installed the ics-wave theme via the app. I went into recovery. I selected reload theme. I clicked confirm and went back to the menu.
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
It's not the same as when you install a different theme in recovery via install zip and then reload theme..

This option just exists to apply a new theme immediately without the need to reboot recovery..

This option is without any use when the theme was installed via Recovery Control..

Although I suspect that the theme he tried was not 100% ok... butstill.. a bug is possible of course.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 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.​

SmartFlash was improved and should now work on all roms.

Formatting internal/external sdcards now work for the Amaze

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)​
[HTC Amaze 4G] heyodee:
No. Just clicked on reload theme and black screen

Is it kool to test the new build on 4ext? I'm still on build 30,apologize if it was a noob ques lol...
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lol... It's already released :D

Just online update via app controller or download from 4ext servers
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
Yup, Maxx had people test the builds before he released them to the public.
[HTC Amaze 4G] cmdmilitia13:
Aight thanks glacier & quickshot... I love this recovery,had it since my mytouch 4g lol..
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Lol that's when I first got it too! Which is another reason why I begged Maxx to support this device! Going from 4ext on my Glacier to CWM on my Amaze seemed backwards and rather primitive
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
Geesh Glacier, I responded as soon as I refreshed my app. And you still beat me!

Off charging is most definitely fixed. I was very low in battery last night. Turned the phone off and put it on the charger for the night. Full charge in the morning no flashing li

ghts. Love this recovery
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
Is there any option to have it charging while off but as soon as it gets 100% to have the phone power up on its own? Just a curious question and I know it may not be possible.

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
So I've tried to perform a backup twice since latest release. First to the eternal sd, went thru the motions but nothing saved to sd. Second time, tried internal sd only to get a reboot early into it. Going to try a few more times
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Are you sure you are on the latest build (53 and not 52)?

"Went through the motions" but nothing was saved? Sure? Also checked backups listed in restore menu?

If true, do it again please and send me a bugreport right after with the option to include the last log ticked.

I'm unaware of any bugs at the moment.
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
possible, but quite some work ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
It just worked for me when I tested it. Make sure your checking your /sdcard(1 or 2)/clockworkmod/backup folder and not your 4ext folder :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2kwic25:
ok im stuck i tried to flash forth bar 3.0 and was stuck in a boot loop i did a backup before hand and when i wipe factory reset then do my backup im still in a boot loop even wiping everything over and tried to flash the original zip and still boot loop what can i do
[HTC Amaze 4G] HumpDdumpD:
That was it, I must've not read enough, lol. Was ignoring clockwork folder. Running a backup now to check, but I'm pretty sure that's what I was missing.

Thanks!

This recovery is boss! I just restored my "stock" backup that was made in Jan. when I first rooted. It did everything it needed to do and even told me that it needed to. Moved the necessary files to the 4EXT folder so it can flash the boot.img. I can tell you this much...I don't miss stock at all! LoL ... Now back to 3.5

Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
Well i just do a basic wipe and i get bootloops, this only happens with fourthbar,
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
They probably didn't use the kernel zip that USED to be in op and just tried flashing the boot.IMG. Let me know if you want me to relink to those kernel packages Maxx...

EDIT: Adden Faux 009 Kernel package to the OP... If you JUST WANT TO SWITCH KERNELS TO FAUX, install that .zip from SD like it were a ROM :D

The kernel package is in the OP at the top in green text. I would try flashing that.

Can someone mirror the 4th bar to dropbox or something so I can DL it and see what is going on?

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
OK guys... Idk what you're doing wrong, but you're not following my instructions. It worked fine for me.

It didn't flash kernel though... Prolly because of the Aroma Installer. I will tell Maxx but in meantime, once you've flashed fourth bar, flash faux kernel package in OP and it will work. ROM does work on stock kernel though btw
[HTC Amaze 4G] xxquicksh0txx:
Just a note, when I was beta testing fourth Bar, 4ext didn't flash the kernel for me. That was with 4ext build 30 though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
I think Aroma and 4ext smart flash are conflicting. Maxx is now aware and is checking into
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
same when i was beta testing, i just used the kernal flasher and it worked perfect

could be that 4EXT likes doing things on its own without an installer
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
You can also use the provided kernel package in OP and install zip from SD.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
true
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Hey guys i bought the app, i love it. Can i flash roms, restore, backup without problems on the latest test build? I have no problem flashing kernels with Ekf
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
For all ROMs except Fourth bar, you can flash the ROM and recovery will flash the kernel for you while flashing ROM...just like good OK days. And now we have s-off too!
[HTC Amaze 4G] eggydrums:
Ok thanks! What about ics roms? And backup and restore?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Backup/restore works. Ics ROMs as well. I've flashed CM9 and I'm sure I read somewhere that XB56's 3.6 was successfully flashed also
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
For those having problems flashing kernel for 4th Bar ROM using this recovery, see Craigtut's comment in his 4th Bar thread. Just don't check the reboot when Aurora is done and it will work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2kwic25:
yes i had to wait i just got home flashed the kernel with kenernal flasher from the computer and it works

[HTC Amaze 4G] Bronyr:
Been experiencing constant boot loops after backing up, wipe all, and installing another rom. As soon as I want to go back to restore - boot looping, no matter what else I do: wipe all, install another rom. What saves is flashing stock kernel via adb. This is painful to have to go through that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Could it be possible that you are on build 52?

I will send you a pm.. would be great if we could meet to take a look at that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bronyr:
I'm currently on 53, but I see 58 is up.

Upgrading now
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Please read your pms ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
Everyone: Don't forget to change the setting in this if you have achieved S-OFF. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
where do you change it at?
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
Go to Recovery -> Recovery Settings and uncheck the S-ON box.
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Right :)

The bad thing is that this setting is hardcoded in recovery for the Amaze since it wasn't expected that there will be s-off so soon ;)

Next build will be online in 10 minutes.

When you flash that, the app will ask you whether you are s-on or not.. just answer no if you aren't or change the setting as MildewMan explained.

But you need to upgrade!
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Build 59 is now online.

When you install it, you will be asked whether you are s-on or not. Recovery will then be configured correctly to use or not to use SmartFlash.

Or change the setting manually later on in recovery settings.
[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
Honestly Maxx you're the ****ing man. I love how you keep the App so updated and really pay attention to peoples problems and set out to fixing it right away (with glacierguy ofc :P)

i am updated to latest and wen i flash a rom my phone bootloops to the htc white screen.can anyone help me with this?
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
As I said in your other post, from recovery go to Wipe>Format all partitions (except sd) then install rom.zip from sd card. Make sure SmartFlash is enabled. Read OP about that.

I see your other post says you've done that, but I don't think you did. It works fine for me :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Also if the rom you are trying to install uses Aroma installer, don't let Aroma reboot! Always use the recovery to reboot after install.

Additionally SmartFlash can only work when your rom includes the boot.img and doesn't require you to install it manually (obviously).
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
thanks ;)

Thank you! 4EXT Recovery is available for the myTouch 4G, but not yet for the slide.

I will add it once current requests are finished.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrgwap:
agh ive done all this.. the rom im using already has the boot img. i wip clear and install i still have the bootloop on htc white screen..not to bring any disrespect. i just ben at this since 2am
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Okay let's take a look at that.

Please jump on irc so we can find out what's happening there.

I will send you a pm now.
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Did you do a backup before? Wipe again and restore your backup. Then try.

You're on build 59 correct?

Are you s=on or s=off? Make sure the recovery knows if you are s=off also. If you are s=on, MAKE SURE SMART FLASH is enabled. You should get a message in recovery saying there was a change in boot partition. If you didn't get that, smart flash is NOT enabled.

What ROM are you trying to flash?
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrgwap:
im trying to flash the speedrom.. and yeah smartflash i on
[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Can you give me a dropbox mirror dl link to that ROM? I can't dl from that host from my phone and I'm at work. I will try it and Maxx and I will figure out.

Others have flashed that ROM too btw... Just saying :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
SmartFlash was disabled.. so no need to download the rom ;)

Sent from my HTC Ruby running Sense 3.6
[HTC Amaze 4G] blast0id:
to futher Double0EK's point, I think what he is asking, is can it be done in the same manner that smart flash is done for the boot.img?(before we had s-off) That is what I thought he was asking originally...
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Radios should be flashed via fastboot/hboot.

Theoretically it's possible though.

I wouldn't recommend it, but you can try it out yourself.

If you are s-off, create a flashable zip with a radio.img and flash it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
If you are S-ON and using smartflash:

With the next build you won't need to watch out any longer that you don't hit "reboot now" in Aroma installer for SmartFlash to work ;)

You can't flash Mike's PH58IMG.zip in recovery.

You can extract it and try flash_image for some of its contents while in recovery (even while in your rom).

Or create a recovery flashable zip and try it out.

But I'd really flash that via hboot.

Especially please don't try to upgrade hboot by any other method! Far too dangerous.

Just take a look at ARHD ;)

Yes! A kernel.. better boot.img is just a file.. content doesn't matter..

The following applies only if you are S-ON:

Whenever you change / upgrade bootloader, you first need to flash boot.img manually the first time.

Afterwards you can switch kernels flash different roms containing different kernels without any problems.

If you are s-off then you don't need to do that if course.

[HTC Amaze 4G] :
Once you flash this, it should overwrite your cwm. Download the 4ext app from op link and go from there.

The app allows you to flash the recovery from the app. Otherwise, you need to adb fastboot flash it. The image is downloadable from 4ext servers also in the OP... Let me know if it doesn't work :D

When recovery boots up it says it cannot mount the /internal_sdcard which I thought wasn't an issue, except I cannot then "choose a zip from sdcard" under the "install from sdcard" menu. Is there a "working" build? And yes, I HAVE flashed mike's firmware update package...twice actually.

It's in the OP, but www.4ext.net. however, its testing build 59 also and it shouldn't matter how u flash it per say.

I haven't tried flashing any new ICS ROMs with this recovery. I've really done nothing all week except s=off and ics since the recovery wasn't having any issues.

I will DL Mike's 2.1 ROM as I pass out now and will touch base with maxx first thing in morning for ya ;) There's been like 3 unreleased builds that have been in testing process this week (thanks to benjammin for holding it down while I've been throttled :D)

I will be away from WiFi or 4g for a the 1st half of the day, but I will already have the ROM DL so I shouldn't need too much data.

if you don't have a "clockworkmod" folder on your internal_sd, create one, then try again... I just found this bug last night when testing build 188... not sure if it's exactly the same bug... but do try and let us know if anything changes...

edit: if that doesn't work, load into OS, connect phone as drive, backup your internal_sdcard, then format it and try again...
[HTC Amaze 4G] madmaxx82:
Too bad about the time difference.. I've seen you visited #4ext to ask what's wrong.

Sorry that I wasn't awake anymore.

When your internal sdcard isn't mountable something is really messed up. This might have happened when you changed hboot or your fat32 file system was destroyed by some other means when mounting/unmounting it from your computer or your phone crashed..

Then you really should format your internal_sdcard to get it work again. Otherwise you should get problems not only with 4ext ;)
