that makes sense....(htc sense :D) nah, but really.....if it costs even 50 bucks id still say thats worth it....a 400quid phone with limited usability....? :D
[Desire General] ephumuris:
The phones fine. I only need trackpad for recovery. Or alternate button.
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
I wouldn't hope too much on someone developing another recovery...

What if you edit the rom you are using and remap you trackpad press to another button?

Like the search button which i personally never use :D

EDiT: I'm not 100% shure this would work in recovery... but it's worth a try!
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I'm pretty sure it needs to be edited within the recovery its not rom specific.
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
Hmm... your point seems right since all the modules are loaded in the rom and none of them is used for recovery...

I will check the AMDesireRecovery and look where they have all those button settings :P
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Thanks. I have no idea where to start. All i know is that it is possible. Clockwork 2.0.0.3 had it but it couldn't mount the sd card or anything but the power button did select! I don't know how to edit a recovery or what file controls what. I mean there is a "keys" file but is that keys as in buttons or something else?
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
I think that the keys file is the verification if the zip is signed... I may be wrong...

What if we somehow merge the files of a recovery which uses power to select with a newer recovery?

Can you provide 2.0.0.3 of ClockWorkMod?
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Ok just tried straight swapping the keys file and that did nothing. No response.

EDIT: Give me 2 mins.

EDIT2: Uploading very slowly. It would be great to have 2.0.0.3 merged with 2.0.1.4 (latest) as that would give me all the functionality i need.
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
Oh damn... the recoveries need to be signed so the stock recovery can eat them...

Do we need a special sign for that?
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Yeah. There is a thread on here somewhere that has the tools for signing them...it's on the first page i'll have a quick look.

Here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709141 bottom of the post.
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
I know how to sign files but I was wondering if we need some HTC cert for signing.

I will try to do it with the normal one if needed.

We have a problem... if I edit the files and put it back together I can't test it coz I have flashed the permanent version. :S
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I can test anything if you upload it. I don't mind if this takes a while to do as long as we manage to get it going in the end.
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
kk...

I would like to take a break now... Coming online in the evening or late afternoon!
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Here is the 2.0.0.3...

http://www.4shared.com/file/PZkgkc7D/recovery-clockwork-2003-bravo.html

It says when opened in WinRAR that it's signed by "SignAPK".

EDIT: Ok no problem mate at least you have tried and listened to me i've been feeling very ignored.
[Desire General] radiosilence:
Insure the phone and pay the £25 excess for accidental damage or whatever.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
That is fraud.

As a blind effort i tried replacing certain files in amsghks recovery mod and then pushing the files. I placed 2.0.0.3's recovery with the module folder from 2.0.1.4 and i get the menu up and can select with power but it still can't mount the sd card! :(

I figure maybe the actual "recovery" file needs editing and that's far beyond my capabilities.
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Ok progress. I took recovery from 2. 0. 0. 3, added it into 2. 0. 1. 4. Signed and named update. zip. Booted it. Wiped everything I could. Only problem is it can't mount or wipe ext at all. However I successfully flashed Pauls Froyo r18 with a2sd! If I can fix the ext mount problem I will have an almost perfect solution to my situation!

Score!
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
Just a quick jump online to see your post :D

That was my idea to replace some files and see if it worked.

Glad it worked for you.

The also called fake-flash recovery has problems with wiping SD-EXT so it's not only your problem. There is a thread by Koush in this forum in which they are commenting this bug.

Maybe there will be a fix soon...

In the meantime... can you tell me which files you replaced? So I can compare them and maybe find some difference, which could be implemented in newer releases without adding old files?

Really glad you half-solved your problem! :P

[Desire General] MasDroid:
lol i know... first he drops his phone in a drink and now this... what next?! :)
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Well like I said I literally just took the file named "recovery " out of the 2.0.0.3 zip. Replaced the existing one in 2.0.1.4. I then resigned it. Not sure why it can't mount ext as the normal 2.0.1.4 can mount backup and wipe my ext3. So I guess the problem lies within "recovery" file and I have no idea how to edit it.

Oh and thanks for the sympathy guys ha ha. Least I'm on my way to being sorted now!
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Well i have posted for help on Koush's forums to see if he or anyone can help. I literally only have the SD EXT not mounting problem now though. And it's not a huge problem as i can use my Frankenstein recovery to wipe most and flash. Just the ext mounting would make it complete.
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
Hello my friend. Nice to hear that from you.

So what exactly did u change in the recovery?

P.S.: Believe it or not I found an unsecured wireless at my location now, so I can get rid of this crap EDGE connection! Life is great! :D
[Desire General] ephumuris:
I unzipped recovery-clockwork-2.0.0.3-bravo.zip.

Extracted the file "recovery" from directory "sbin".

Extracted recovery-clockwork-2.0.1.4-bravo.zip.

Delete file "recovery" from directory "sbin".

Copy "recovery" from 2.0.0.3 over to 2.0.1.4 "sbin" directory.

Rezipped and resigned using "recsign.bat" from SignAPK.

Booted and all works except for mount/wipe ext.

Oh and i don't have no open networks near me but i use "Penetrate" from the market and it works for Thomson routers, i can connect even when secured :)
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
So you can connect to any secured network without knowing the pass?

If the router is in the list ofc...
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Yeah but it doesn't do Netgear yet and a few others. However my local ISP gives out Thomson routers so i can pretty much connect to 90% of the networks in my city. :D

No ideas on the ext front? :)
[Desire General] brokenworm:
heard you need to repartition the sdcard for each versions of clockworkmod recorerys..

should solve your last problem
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Hmm not sure about that...i may try it but it takes 30 minutes to copy all my files from my sd to my pc. I have a lot!
[Desire General] brokenworm:
i know.. i had the same sdext problem ..i use 16 gb .. 1000 mp3 and videos damn
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Haven't tried formatting and repartitioning yet as i don't think it will help. I can use various versions of clockwork mod just fine even some really old ones and they still mount ext.

I tried merging with an older version that works 2.0.1.0 however i have the same result. Can't mount ext but can do everything else!

How do i edit that damn recovery file :(
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
latest version backs up and restores ext3 without errors but it does not wipe it.

It gives no errors when I do a wipe but then I check to see if anything is on the ext3 and everything was still there.

does anyone know what version wipes ext3 fine?
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
As I read in an other thread:

If you partition your SD card with ROM Manager you can mount and wipe SD-EXT without problems. The problem was that the previous recoveries places ext3 on the end of the SD card. ROM Manager and ClockWorkMod do it reversed. :D

Gonna test this now... installing DeFrost :D

EDiT: Nope... still can't wipe nor mount the SD-EXT... hopeless :(
[Desire General] brokenworm:
first i never upgraded ext2 to ext3 .. that made big problems for me on both clockworkmod 2003 ,2010 and the one i modded 2013 "2100" and posted with the recovery script ...

i could not even mount sdext...

i repartitioned the card in my tattoo amonra recovery ..512 mb ext .. then upgraded to ext3...

then the crap worked...

ps my recovery is permantly flashed 2010
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Back on subject even repartitioning my sd card hasn't helped and wasted a lot of time for my Frankenstein recovery. Just need ext mounting fixed!

Off topic now...

Yeah blackline i can't get any version to mount ext2 or ext4 but ext3 works on 2.0.1.4 and 2.0.1.0.

I did it manually in windows as guess what? Rom Manager only formats as ext2...which it can't read lol.

Browsed to my amsghk mod recovery folder and ran it.
Opened a new cmd window then cd's to my amsghk recovery folder.
Ran "adb shell".
Ran "sdparted -ufs ext3 -s".
It upgraded my ext2 to ext3.

Now 2.0.1.4 and 2.0.1.0 will backup, mount my ext3 partition.
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
Im having no issues mounting my ext3.

Just it wont wipe even if it says it did. My fat32 partition is first and then my ext3,
[Desire General] ephumuris:
You will have to wipe via adb shell or some other way until koush can fix it. He seems busy though as i can't get an answer from him about my recovery woes too lol.
[Desire General] markuz85:
I partitioned my SD with rom manager but it can't be mounted, thus not wiped, causing a lot of trouble... I guess I'll have to find another way :/
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Like i've said. Rom Manager formats your ext as ext2 but it can't read/mount it. Try using a linux live cd/gparted or manual adb commands to upgrade to ext3 and 2.0.1.4 will mount and back up your ext just fine.
[Desire General] markuz85:
Sorry, didn't read the whole thread. Thanks a lot!
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
yeah I used gparted lol
[Desire General] Janniktn:
I did a repartition with ROM Manager and i can now mount, wipe and backup sd-ext

Koush changed the partition format from ext4 to ext3 in one of the last versions of ROM Manager.

This solved all my problems
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
Oh I will try that as soon as I get home!

Upgrading filesistem doesn't format the partition right?
[Desire General] globalm:
Does anyone know if there are plans to rationalise the version of Clockwork Recovery used in ROM Manager and the version used by unrEVOked?

At the moment, I have both and both work. The unrEVOked version is 2.0.1.0 and the ROM Manager version is 2.0.1.4.

Are there any plans to allow updating of the Recovery image in unrEVOked?
[Desire General] prove:
How do i find out which ext version i have? I used the partitioning function in rom manager, don't remember which version though...
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
I tried doing the ext2 to ext3 upgrade in adb and it said i already have ext3 so... WTF?

EDiT: So the results are like this:

2.0.1.6 does NOT mount ext partition if you formated WITH ROM Manager!

2.0.1.4 DOES mount & wipe ext if you formated WITH ROM Manager!

So I am using my permanent recovery to flash and my fake-flash recovery for wiping :D
[Desire General] markuz85:
I converted my ext2 to ext3 using Paragon partition manager, worked like a charm, I can mount it in recovery and no data was lost. Just a tip for those who are not familiar with live CDs and Gparted...
[Desire General] BlackLine7:
Which recovery are you using?
[Desire General] Nekromantik:
anyone know which version can wipe ext3 created using gparted
[Desire General] Jpcurrie:
Try doing a "mount" command in a terminal shell that will tell you what it is mounted as
[Desire General] markuz85:
Fake-flash, if you were asking me.

[HD2 General] Nibbley15:
Stock or custom ROM's? Give us some info please.

I had this issue come up with a custom ROM about 2 years ago, had a bad download.

If you are running stock do a hard reset.

If you have a reg editor do a scan looking for "duration" I can't remember the exact location but there is a setting that tells the phone how long to vibrate.
[HD2 General] shehrammajid:
Did anyone find a solution for this? I have tried the stock and my own custom rom, done many hard resets, and I still have this problem. I think its hardware related, but I'm not sure...any updates?
[HD2 General] jdwrrzmm:
It happened to me frequently on the newest stock ROM. I don't know whether it'll happen on this custom ROM.
[HD2 General] mxman122:
I'm running the stock ROM 2.13, nothing else on there phone other than some of the basic fixes. I have done a hard reset more than 3 times and the issue is still there.

Then I turned it off and press ON + HOME, but its stuck at this screen with an ! and a phone. its been stuck for more than 10 mins. Can someone help me pls?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Press menu or back to see what happens.

I'm pretty sure its because you custom recovery hasn't installed correctly.

It is safe to turn off/pull the battery out,.. it is only not safe to pull out your battery when flashing a new radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twiztedvvv:
Yes, take battery out and start phone up as normal. repeat the procedure of flashing the recovery.img, try again.

If you get the same error then try a different .img

Any chance that someone here could port ios4 to the samsung galaxy s, isnt the hardware between the iphone4 and galaxy s pretty similar? (Well at least the important bit, the cpu/gpu). Just for laughs, android is fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Wii60:
Well, no.

iOS isn't open source, so it'd be a ***** and a half to do, but you are right were the attempt to be made it would be easier based on the hardware similarities.

Yea, just like k2snowboards88 said, even if it was to be done, apple would be all over the place with an army of lawyers and class action lawsuits, bunch of f......

If i remember correctly some XDA guy got in trouble because of something he made that "resembled" an apple software.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nanolite:
While lawsuits sound scary, I still don't think that is the right reason not to do it. Do you really Ios is better than Android?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] savvase:
i am also using android (galaxy s) but after giving a try the new iOS 4 i think the iOS has the edge its a much more smooth, easy and eye candy operating system.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nanolite:
Yeah, I totally agree with you savvase.

The UI experience of the Android phones is pretty choppy compared to the Iphones Ios. If I recall correctly, it is because Android is based on a higher level programing, Java, while Ios is based on lower lever programming.

If you want Android to get the Ios smoothness, visit and vote here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914
[Galaxy S I9000 General] k2snowboards88:
I think if you want ios, that you should get an iphone. The iphone 4g once the bugs are ironed out is a very very good piece of hardware. I want an android phone because I don't want ios.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tyj82:
If you like iOS so much better go for iphone directly. they dont have AMOLED but the hardware is great too.

I believe people here in Galaxy S really happy with the hardware AND the SOFTWARE.

In andriod you get all the customisation you want. iOS will only ask you to upgrade your hardware rather than pushes your hardware the limit.(no video recording in Iphone 3G)

hi guys having big probs getting my email via wifi, i.m sitting here conected to a net work but my emails wont connect im in spain and my provider is vodafone uk any settings im missing?
[HD2 General] Lesthehammer:
I have searched the forums and there are several threads about wifi in standby mode, some folks complaining their phone disconnects from wifi in standby mode and others who complain it doesn't... my problem is connected but distinct in that the way my phone handles wifi in standby has changed :confused: hence the reason I've started a new thread...

I have an HD2 and a few days ago had to perform a hard reset (my fault, I was fiddling about with the registry after having installed CHT 1.8.5).

I now have the phone running OK again but am experiencing a change in behaviour with Wifi disconnecting on standby as follows:

Before the reset, I would switch the phone on in the morning, it would connect to wifi and whilst at home would stay connected continiously to wifi (gprs/Edge/H would remain off) even when the phone went into standby.

Since the hard reset, when I switch phone on, it connects at first to wifi but after that, when phone goes into standby, wifi disconnects & gprs kicks in when phone retrieves e-mails etc. When I touch the screen to bring phone out of standby, the wifi reconnects but gprs remains on too (wouldn't be so bad if at least the gprs then turned off!). I then have to turn off gprs in Comm manager.

As I work from home, I prefer to use wifi as gprs drains the battery much quicker too (particulary if both wif & gprs remain connected I suppose). I have the latest version ROM that my provider (Virgin) supports so havent added any updates from the HTC site. Therefore the hard reset should not have made any difference to how wifi is handled on standby I presume

I have asked the Technical support at Virgin & all they could suggest was changing the 'power save mode' for wifi to 'best performance'. This made no difference either so they suggested I raise this with HTC which i have and await their reply (I'm not that confident they'll have the answer though)

Can anyone think why this behaviour has changed & how to revert back to having wifi stay connected in standby?

Thanks Folks :)

[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
i suspect you had tweaked the wifi in standby setting in your previous set up, before the hard reset but maybe you don't remember.

so you were used to wifi remaining on, even in standby. but after the hard reset, the device has returned to the default behavior (i.e. wifi goes off in stand by).

you can use BSBTweaks to enable the option that keeps wifi on in standby but i have noticed that the setting does not stay after a simple soft reset.

so just download and install this! it works perfectly and remembers the setting between soft resets:

[HD2 General] Lesthehammer:
Thanks for the info, but no, I hadn't tweaked the wifi in standby setting as I wouldn't even know how too;) And didn't have BSB tweaks installed either before or now... That's what's got me confused!
[HD2 General] harddisk_wp:
check out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5353195 this app works great
[HD2 General] Luggruff:
You have had to had something changed before the hard reset that would allow WiFi on standby, because it is not allowed by standard.
[HD2 General] Lesthehammer:
Thanks, unless HTC come up with something, I will give this a go. I presume if you do want to turn wifi off, you still can in Comm manager?

I know it seems weird, but no, I'm sure I hadn't as I wouldn't have known how too - still don't as if I did I'd change it back! I'm 100% sure that wifi has always remained on in standby previously and there do seem to be others whose phones perform like this too (when they don't want them too!). All very odd :)

If this is standard Winmo default, it seems rather annoying as when the phone is is in standby, it activates gprs when checking for e-mails & thereafter gprs remains on, so when you wake phone from standby you have both wif & gprs running.....
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
the app/thread posted by harddisk_wp is the same one i've already referred you to. just install it and you're done!

comm manager will let you toggle wifi on/off as usual. the app above is actually NOT an app...it just runs on every boot up and changes the registry key that determines the behavior of wifi in standby. if wifi is off, it will remain off in standby. if you turned on wifi in comm manager, it will remain on in standby if the mentioned app is installed.

simple as that! no worries, hardly takes up any space on your device, and its a one-shot process on each boot up (it starts, does its job, and then quits) so it doesn't take up any run-time resources whatsoever. capish?
[Desire General] Noony:
