Good to see this on xda for everyone to flash and love. I also grabbed it from TCD while checking out the Reloaded Preview. It improves on the already great RA Style 3.11 Recovery. Thanks for working on this and sharing it.

Which folder am I to look in?
[EVO 4G Android Development] thicklizard:
Never mind I found it
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
Fixed OP, sorry about that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] atljatl:
Smelkus,

Thanks for the new recovery! Like everyone else, i had been on amon ra forever. ropo, LOTK et al recommended your recovery and i'm loving it. i'll recommend elsewhere whenever i can. thanks again!
[EVO 4G Android Development] Diablo67:
Nice,works great,thanks.

Smelkus

Absolutedly the best...solid with great features :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] jboyer0000:
finally a recovery that wipes cache and dalvik in one click....:) Thanks alot man
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
Glad to see more people getting their hands on smelkus' work!! He's the real deal people!!

I can't wait what he has in stored for us in 4.2 :)

Great job again smelkus!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] ironromulas:
Looks like I had a bad nand I was restoring. I flashed the old Recovery back and the nand i was restoring was not working. went to a different one and few hours later i am back. maybe i can try smelkas agian. maybe later....to much downtime on last one flash attack
[EVO 4G Android Development] Amon_RA:
Awesome!

Great job, love the new wipe menu.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
Perhaps the best compliment you could ever receive right there bro. Way to go smelkus.

ropodope

Heat it up! Burn it out! I've got a job to do, giving it all to you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] oodork123:
Once every 2 nanroids I loose apps and data, forcing me to reflash my last rom.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
You're probably wiping your apps and data, but you don't provide near enough detail about what you're doing to help you.
[EVO 4G Android Development] shinesthru:
Absolutely! Cheers!

[EVO 4G Android Development] jayshocka:
small question. when updating radio via flash... after first reboot recovery just hangs at formatting cache. kinda scared to interrupt it and ideas can i just reboot again from here?

edit: ALL GOOD, FIXED
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rammv:
Go ahead and reboot there is something said in the thread that says to ignore I have rebooted with no problems.
[EVO 4G Android Development] fitz420:
So quick question. After doing a superwipe for the 1st time, I noticed that the entire contents of sdcard/android/data was erased. Is this part of the "temp" files that it wipes. I assume so but didn't know it was going to do that.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
yes the superwipe tells you in the menu what it consists of and what it will erase. Cache/dalvik/system/data/boot/

ropodope

Heat it up! Burn it out! I've got a job to do, giving it all to you!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
So wanted to come by slap your thanks for my daily limit and personally say thanks for this awesome recovery. Its such a time saver and piece of art man. Great job.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
Thanks for the compliments. Just cracked 4,000 downloads today for all versions and themes. Not bad for a recovery!
[EVO 4G Android Development] jrny99:
great job on this here recovery, does the superwipe handle all my wiping needs when installing a fresh rom ? or do i need to wipe all selections once ?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
Superwipe definitely would yes. Just one wipe of that and you're good to go (as it wipes a lot already). I personally just use Format All once before a new ROM.
[EVO 4G Android Development] himalayasplaya:
sorry this might be a stupid question, but i clicked the download link but am unsure where to find the files. when i click the link http://d-h.st/users/smelkus/?fld_id=1930#files all i see are theme files. Where would the actual files be located?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
WOW this may have topped the "what's the blue line on top of the screen" question from a few weeks ago....hahahahahahhahahahahahaha

When you see the file you want, click it with the mouse (the thing you use to move the cursor around) and wait a few seconds depending on your internet connection....then you will see a page with with the file name, md5 and all that.....find where it says download.....click on that again with the "mouse".....after that rename it to PC36IMG and place it on the root of your sdcard, reboot into your bootloader and press volume up when it prompts you to update..........IF you fail at this, go get rid of your phone and buy an iPhone, I hear Apple does all the flashing for you :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] himalayasplaya:
thanks for trolling -__-. maybe i should rephrase ...I'm trying to locate the actual smelkus recovery installer on the server. When i click the link it takes me to a place where I can download themes. where do I go to get the latest smelkus recovery from that link?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
OK I'm the troll but you have contributed WHAT to the community?? OH that's right, you just download and ask stupid questions...that's RIGHT!!

Anyways, you go here http://d-h.st/users/smelkus/?fld_id=1930#files and download the file you want inside the folder that it is in.....THERE'S no easy button or installer to this recovery! You have to be a BIG BOY and do it yourself! :) BUT I bet you're going to call me a troll AGAIN and ask AGAIN in hopes that someone is going to hold your hand through this.....RIGHT?

GOOD LUCK BUDDY!!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] shinesthru:
Those files may say "theme" in the title, but aren't just themes. They are in fact recoveries that come in different themes. The recovery is the same across themes, though. That is to say they are all smelkusMOD, just different flavors.
[EVO 4G Android Development] himalayasplaya:
I said in my first post it was going to be a stupid question, so I'm glad you can restate what I already said. Congratulations! ;)

Thanks for answering my question good sir! :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] Robobob1221:
and only 300 odd thanks?! I'll give you a few more for the awesome sauce recovery!:D
[EVO 4G Android Development] spackmanbr:
Can somebody please provide me with some insight as to how nandroids work when running both firerat and a2sd. I have yet to be able to restore a nandroid once I started using these two mods, it starts to restore and then I get a message that restore failed. I have ran the "a2sd remove" and "a2sd nocachereset commands" for a2sd, so my understanding is that apps and dalvik should both be on my /data partition. Also, the nandroid's partition sizes are the same as the recovery's, so that is definitely not the issue. The last time I tried, I did accidentally wipe sd-ext, which it later occured to me might contain a2sd flags?

Anyway, those that know more than me and actually use the above mods, mind helping me out? Thank you. And next time I try this and fail, I will be sure to grab a copy of the log.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SFG:
Why can't you just answer the question or ignore it?
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
The irony of this question is enjoyable. Let's just move on OK. I posted a CM9 and Team DIRT theme under the se-themes folder (se = special editions) if anyone is interested.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
he just did. Trying to have the last word or something? So why didn't you just open a folder and download the .img file for the themed recovery you wanted and flash through terminal emulator or download the .zip file, rename it properly and install through the bootloader like everyone else seems to know how to do?

ropodope

I heard the news baby, all about your disease. Yeah, you may have all you want baby. But I got somethin' you need. Oh yeah!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SFG:

[EVO 4G Android Development] drlzanej:
Wow, such hostilities should all be ignored,,,If a person doesnt know how to install a recovery, it should probably be addressed in Q&A,,,shouldnt it ??? Awesome recovery smelkus, Thanks,,,Later:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] Mazda:
hahahahaha...I bet you have a shirt that says "I support stupid" don't you? If you looked at my replies, I did answer the question! I'm not going to apologize for my replies and for not holding his hand through something that could of been answered if he would of just read the OP and GOD FORBID he use the search feature on here....you want to defend stupid then go for it BUT I'm not! :)

Anyways, thanks smelkus for all you do!!
[EVO 4G Android Development] SFG:
Get this straight, I'm not defending anyone. I just don't like reading condescending and sarcastic replies like the ones you gave earlier. The worst part is you think you're funny dropping jokes that stopped being funny 2 years ago. Just remember that not everyone is as smart as you are.
[EVO 4G Android Development] drlzanej:
Ok, now that we got all that out of the way, can we just get back to topic and let it go,,,Later,,,:cool:
[EVO 4G Android Development] SFG:
I apologize and I am done.
[EVO 4G Android Development] voodamn:
Does it matter which themes I download..all will do the job correct
[EVO 4G Android Development] SFG:
Correct.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
Normally I stay out these kind of things but Mazda and Rope have a valid point that the persons question could have easily been answered by reading the OP and definitely by reading the thread thus far, it isn't like it has 220+ pages like some other threads. Just READ people it'll save time and frustration I'm not an expert here by far and any still learning ALOT by the day but these dev's here do alot for us by making these rom's and recoveries that we otherwise wouldn't have. Lets show some thanks and when you fly by here to download smelkus' recovery or another persons Rom hit the thanks and let them know that you appreciate their hard work and dedication to something that they get no awards for and not clutter up the thread with useless junk... just saying.

On another note love the new theme smelkus as I am a major team dirt fan and supporter. Hit your thanks up again dude. Keep up the awesomeness.

[EVO 4G Android Development] roxicodine:
I searched this thread but couldn't find info. When i use the Wipe, None of the settings are working for me. When I wipe nothing happens, Like if I wipe my sd card, I check to make sure it wiped, Nothing happens and the wipe is only for 5 seconds and then says completed. Idk what info you need but if you respond I can help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] SuperiorEVOlution18:
Has it worked before? Never had that happen so I can't say for sure but maybe check the download to verify its a good copy?
[EVO 4G Android Development] shinesthru:
1) Are you saying you select a wipe option and run it, the recovery says it has wiped that selection (but more quickly than would be expected), and when you go to verify, your selection has not in fact been wiped? 2) Is this happening with any and all of the wipe options or just sd card? 3) Are you using the latest version of smelkusMOD? 4) Have you verified the MD5sum?

This is not a problem I have heard before, and I know that this recovery has had extensive testing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
Well at least two people responded, so it's time for you to help.

I don't get it. The last four our five people to post "problems" with this recovery just pop in, post their limited, ambiguous problem, and disappear. Did they figure out their user error, did they post a log to help me fix a bug? No, and no.

The wiping code itself has never changed. All I did was reorganize and bunch together existing code to make combo wipes. So your problem is just that.

Everybody reading this, please do every development OP a favor: if you're going to post what you think is a problem with some one's work, stick around long enough to fix the problem or admit you didn't know what you were doing. Otherwise you're just wasting everyone's time.

If you're going to post a question (preferably in Q&A) and not be around to answer... Don't post at all.

K, thx.

[EVO 4G Android Development] roxicodine:
K, thanks.

Anyways ive been busy and I forgot my post in this thread. Give the post writer some time to comment on the situation. It took you a day to re-write so calm down bro. If i knew how to post a log I would help, As I wrote let me know what information I need to give to you to help me on this situation.

Yes when I choose any option in the wipe menu, I use the option, And I check to see if it has wiped anything, It does not. I've tried all options and they wipe quickly and nothing happens. I am using the latest version and yes ive verified the sum.

It has worked before. I don't know if its my SDCard itself or I am just not doing something right. But if I run one of the wipe settings like 6-7 times it will eventually wipe i've found out.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
Wipe your boot once. let me know what happens.

Just re-flash the recovery

And try

it again. Meaning download the file again. That seems like the easiest way to verify if its the recovery or not. I've only had one problem wiping and it's was with the super wipe option. I eventually had to use the VRsuperswipe I had on my sd card to install a ROM. It seems like it was not wiping properly but as soon as I used VR all was well.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Ferenczy68:
I had the same issue, try downloading Joey Krim's Flash Image GUI (from google play) and use it to flash one of the recovery image files from the root of your sd card. This method worked for me when the bootloader method wouldn't (unlocked bootloader w/s-on seems to be the culprit, but not 100% sure), it may help some others...

edit: almost forgot, thanks for a superb recovery Smelkus!
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
If you are unlocked with s-on, unpack the .zip and change the mainver in the android-info.txt to 4.67.651.3, then rezip and flash. h/t Captain Throwback.
[EVO 4G Android Development] MBQ_:
It's simple.

It really shouldn't be that hard to use a recovery. He based it off of AmonRA (the best recovery on the evo) and he made it better. Smelkus is super talented, he wouldnt release something that has bugs, just download it, rename it to PC36IMG and update it through the HBOOT. And you're good to go.

Smelkus, amazing recovery, didnt get the chance to tell you. Not only did you make this easier, but you made it better. A million thanks to you man. :)
[EVO 4G Android Development] philliyxx:
Tried to install via HBOOT and ran into an issue.

Renamed file to PC36IMG(still a zip)

Placed on root of SD

Booted into HBOOT

S-OFF

HBOOT 2.10.0001

It gets to SD Checking....

Loading...[PC36DIAG.zip]

and then sits. Waited 15 min and nothing.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
Renamed what file? How can it be loading PC36DIAG.zip if you renamed it PC36IMG.zip?

ropodope

I heard the news baby, all about your disease. Yeah, you may have all you want baby. But I got somethin' you need. Oh yeah!
[EVO 4G Android Development] philliyxx:
I downloaded PC36IMG_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-mason.zip

Renamed it to PC36IMG.

I think it is odd as well that it is searching for DIAG

*Edit*

After popping the battery and trying a few more times I deleted the PC36IMG file and it still hung on the same error trying to boot into recovery.

Started getting a little scared and just re-formatted my SD and slapped the same file back in there and...it worked this time.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
yeah it does that before loading up your PC36IMG.zip file. did you rename it from windows or from your evo?

ropodope
[EVO 4G Android Development] philliyxx:
Windows before I transferred it to SD
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
ok did you name it "PC36IMG" or "PC36IMG.zip"

ropodope
[EVO 4G Android Development] philliyxx:
I understand to an extent why you would ask me that, but I simply deleted all the text in the file just like you would rename anything and the end name was--

"PC36IMG"

After I re-formatted my SD card I put the same file back in there and it worked.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
all's well that ends well then. good deal.

[EVO 4G Android Development] dcharleyultra:
Could the DIAG file also have been in the directory?

Whats happnin smelkus, Question, Do you or have you developed a recovery for the LTE yet, just wondering. Thanks man.
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
No. I messed around with it a bit, but don't have the device to test it on.

Man, I really respect your opinion Rope, but to be honest, I am scared of Samsung! I mean, the only other phone I would consider is the sgs2. I don't know jack about Odin, I hear the sammy radios are not that great, and I am constantly reading about sammy bricks.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
sg3 is a whole new ballgame.sweetest rooting imaginable, no locked anything. Sweet build and the radios from the epic 4g touch on make htc radios pale in comparison. Brick issues are from people who couldn't follow basic instructions so they deserved what they got. I can easily point to many htc folks who have done the same. Once it's in your hands it's all over. Sammy has become what htc used to be. It's your choice now bro. They made mine an easy one.

Flashed smelkus thru TE......

Now it appears i dont have a recovery????? Any ideas or suggestions?? I have the latest hboot if that helps any......2.18.001. Had to go thru htc dev to root it. Any help would greatly be appreciated. I also tried the .zip and when it tried to read it it said "parsing"?????
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
yeah gain s-off and flash it through bootloader or fastboot recovery through adb.

ropodope

What did the five fingers say to the face? Sa la ppa.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roldham71:
My phone has never said s-off.....even tho i have been rooted and flashing roms.....maybe it has something to do with the hboot version???? Not really sure.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
really? really? Regardless of your prior experience with a Sammy product, for you to say the gs3 is a pos to me shows your low level acumen for being the arbiter of things landing in the realm of quality. Based on your logic if I ever have a problem with a product then that company can no longer improve or become better than another. like it or not the latest Sammy phone is a great phone. you will just have to deal with that reality fanboy. Trust you? I'd rather eat garbage from your local Chinese restaurant.

ropodope

What did the five fingers say to the face? Sa la ppa.
[EVO 4G Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Either use Android Flasher, Flash Image GUI, or flash the recovery through fastboot. Those are your options because your device is UNLOCKED, S-ON.
[EVO 4G Android Development] ropodope:
no it has to do with you not having s-off. You can flash roms, how about kernels and radios and recoveries?

ropodope

What did the five fingers say to the face? Sa la ppa.
[EVO 4G Android Development] roldham71:
Yeah I can flash kernels.....can't get smelkus to flash tho. Tried thru TE and lost my recovery. Went thru the whole process of unlocking my phone again to get recovery back, amon ra 2.3. Any tips on getting s off???

Sent from my PC36100 using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
[EVO 4G Android Development] smelkus:
Since you're S-ON, do me a favor and try flashing this version through bootloader.

Captain Throwback pointed out that my android-info.txt file includes mainver: 1.00.000.0, which works for S-OFF folks. If you change that line to 4.67.651.3 (which I did on that last Team Dirt theme), it should work for people with S-ON. If it does work, then download the v4.3 theme you want, unzip it, change the mainver, rezip and flash.
