Would assume titanium data+app would be fine since its just pulling files vs nandroid making images of the partitions.. thats why i'm curious if restoring just /data from the rfs backup on to ext4 would fly or not... easier/quicker (for me,many apps) to just restore the /data with nandroid vs titanium.

[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Do you have Android SDK installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
so i changed the line in step2 which for me was line 9 and will now do step2 bat where op says step1? here goes...

ok had to unplug usb twice for device to be found for step2.bat

rebooting to q2.5 now
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
step1 was a typo, step2 is correct.

Can someone that has successfully completed this please post some linpack and/or quadrant scores? (I know synthetic doesn't always mean that much, but they are useful imo).

Thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Pskillz87:
thank you so much, i notice last nite also that it was saying ext2 no such file but i was too tired to check the bat file, it works flawless and man it is really fast:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
I just tried and it didn't work. It looked like it was working, but once I rebooted absolutely nothing had changed. I'm trying titanium now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] i_guana:
Mine is stuck on 'Formatting /system (/dev/block/stl9) as ext4'. How long does it usually take??? I'm afraid to interupt it.

EDIT: Aborted it, moved to another PC while still in the recovery screen and it worked. All's well. :)

fullext4kernel.zip FILE !!!

HUGE NOTE: AFTER FLASHING THE ROM, YOU MUST FLASH THE fullext4kernel.zip FILE !!!

And this has to be done immediately after install rom or after rom installed and reboot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
I did the rom then the kernel without a reboot in between and it worked fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] akijikan:
Well you're not going to boot into anything if your kernel can't deal with ext4.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ScientificOne:
Thanks again Dameon for allowing me to be one of your testers...works great!

This morning after reading through the thread, I decided to odin back to DK28 and try again. When it came to the point to run step2.bat, I needed to change the line:

adb push ext2.ko /tmp

to

adb push ext4.ko /tmp

which was mentioned earlier in the thread. After that, flashing the ROM and then the kernel, once again it was running great! Top notch!
[Epic 4G Android Development] kbnguy:
That's what I thought but just wanna be sure...ThX :)

Next, how do I redirect recovery console to the new FS? :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
what are people doing after installing quantum 2.5, adb reboot recovery hangs on samsung screen. i did 3 button combo, but someone said that loads the old recovery. it does appear to load 2.5.1.0 but has a different android guy in the background.

i just tried a data restore from cwm, booting up again now, only thing is it said "E:Can't open /cache/recover/log" well, we'll see. just not sure if i should be seeing 2.5.1.2 still or not

edit: said restore complete but booting to OS showed nothing actually restored.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ranger093:
Exactly, and now you won't be able to flash anything and you will have to ODIN back to do anything if you manage to Lock your rom up.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Looks like the redirector script(?) is calling 2.5.1.0 and not 2.5.2.0. You won't be able to read/write via 2.5.1.0 since the data ain't in a format for ext4.

This also means that we can't backup the data (just yet...)

I won't even attempt to flash anything (theme, etc) till 2.5.2.0 is working again.

If you used Titanium, you can batch restore your apps from there.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
everything worked great after renaming ext2.ko in the scripr to ext4.ko

my question how can we check to make sure ext4 actually got installed?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Yep -- been there already today. Ugh. ;-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] decalex:
oo. good catch. I did not see that earlier in the thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
the redirect i think is broken tbh, adb reboot recovery hangs on sammy screen. so i think we "cant" get to cwm 2.5.1.2 since hte 3 button combo takes us to old recovery. i even tried flashing the prepare.zip to see if it reflashed ext4recovery and no go.

+1 on that.

EDIT: yeah, im a fan of cwm restore data, dont like to do it the hard way. so i'm screwing this til 5.6 drops and i'm guessing the redirect is fixed and we can use new recovery.

[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
im in the process of using odin right now. im gonna redo the ext4 and after flashing the kernel im gonna flash my theme and see the out come. ill report back with my findings
[Epic 4G Android Development] ScientificOne:
after running the step2.bat, adb shell mount and you should see something like this:

http://pastebin.com/dppTynP5

notice ext4 in lines 12-14
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Quadrant scores mean nothing. Just use your phone and feel how much faster it is.

At the moment you have to be in cwm. Ill work on an update.zip in a few. Also will upload a fixed one click
[Epic 4G Android Development] ScientificOne:
Take a deep breath man...I went through the whole process of odin to flashing the rom and kernel (start to finish) within 15-20 minutes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
Well I have everything working but recovery....wonder there will be an in place fix or ill have to odin later?
[Epic 4G Android Development] I EnFamouz I:
jus answering his question and thnx for working on one click
[Epic 4G Android Development] I EnFamouz I:
most likely a one click where it'll fix the recovery prob.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kbnguy:
I had same prob...until I pulled the USB cable and plugged back in. wham! whaddowehavehere.

From OP:

"[NOTE : If it says device not found, unplug the phone, and replug the cable and try again]

Now we are in the modified recovery. It should say version 2.5.1.2 at the top."
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
adb should work in CWM as long as you don't use the three button method to start CWM...
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Damn man, Once I edited the .bat script, I try to run the step2.bat file, and notebook keeps opening it up and I cant figure out how to change it back so it runs itself once prompted....!!!!????
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Yep. I know. I was wondering if the scores were inflating the way other Galaxy S phones were. They are not it seems.

Dameon, by the way, what benchmark(s) do you feel are valid to test the phone CPU, GPU, or memory capabilities?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
read the op. there is only one dk28 rom compatiable so far
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
Okay, im to the part where my pc see'smy phone while in cwm, and im about to run the step2.bat file, but im confused on where the OP says,"from here you need to run the step2.bat file".. from where?? the cmd window I used to reboot the recovery? if so, how do I do that? do I have to have the ext4.zip file I 1st downloaded where I have my SDK tools folder located? or do I just open the ext4.zip file and double click the step2.bat file???
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
The OneClickEXT4 you downloaded has everything you need for adb, etc. Just double click step2.bat and it should run.

Make sure you change the the ext2 to ext4 on the one line (around line 8 I believe)
[Epic 4G Android Development] amosher13:
yeah this part is not working for me with adb reboot recovery, it hangs at sammy screen so i couldnt access the 2.5.1.2 recovery (once the rest was complete).
[Epic 4G Android Development] edonnelly:
It requires the DK28 modem, there's only one of those. The other stuff refers to the ROM, and you'll need to use Quandrant 2.5 as the ROM because it's the only one that supports ext4 right now.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kinglegz:
stuck at samsung screen
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Ok found the problem with it hanging with reboot recovery or quick boot.

Will have a new kernel to flash in a few, and it will flash from 3 button mode.
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Thanks! (yes, that 'thanks' is an understatement at best :-)

Glad I don't need to re-odin!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Jhiciano:
you run the cmd from the windows while phone in cwm

on my comp just , windows, run-> type cmd --> (should auto open to you users folder, I extracted the one click to a folder on my desktop I named "android" , make sure you edit the step2.bat( right click, edit, then save when done) per the post on line 9 change to ext4) --> in the cmd window enter: cd desktop/android

--->then enter: step2.bat and you will see it start to work
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Ok guys. Here is a modified kernel. This will fix quick boot and adb reboot recovery once the ext4 mod is already installed.

I still recommend using Quantum Rom 2.5 though.

http://efragtv.com/android/EXT4-Kernel-FINAL.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] i_guana:
It seems Quantum Rom v2.5.0 has the full ext4 kernel built in. I forgot to flash the 'fullext4kernel.zip' file after flashing Quantum and it booted up with no problems. Doing adb shell mount shows all partitions in ext4. All seems well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] badwolf:
Running 2.5 now 3 button into old recovery to flash fix or how apply?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Flashing now (did not wipe anything) ...

So far so good (phone boots)...

3-finger still goes to 2.5.1.0

But Advance - Reboot into Recovery goes into 2.5.1.2

Thx!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Use 3 button method to get into the old CWM 2.5.1.0 and flash the new kernel.

TO HAVE A WORKING EXT4 RECOVERY, YOU NEED THE NEW KERNEL!
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Backing up (appears to) work, but flashing Mysterious Beast puts the phone into a boot loop. I just wiped dalvik and cache.

Gonna run a full rewipe to see if that works -- but I'm thinking that something in the theme ain't playing nicely with the kernel (or the ext4 format)
[Epic 4G Android Development] algorhythm:
If I end up doing the EXT4 change, can I only go and flash EXT4 capable ROMs? I saw an uninstall was mentioned but has there been any update?
[Epic 4G Android Development] SwimDrewid:
Yeah -- MB doesn't work... Yet.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sniperkill:
This is what I get when I try to run the step2.bat file... Anyone know what im doing wrong?

thanks dameon, after my thrashing about it took a little bit to get my pre-ext4 backup to restore data to 2.5 but i finally got it! w00t! thanks for the prompt fix, reboot recovery goes to 2.5.1.2 now. over and out
[Epic 4G Android Development] ptfdmedic:
I have a question. Are we going to see an update.zip for this. I know he mentioned and update but I guess I didn't know if that was just a fix or an actual flashable EXT4 install like the other Galaxy s phones have. When I was on my Fascinate I would just flash the voodoo EXT4 lagfix to get the updated kernel. Then just installed a supported ROM.

This is outstanding progress...I can't wait to incorporate this into my ROM...

Thanks for getting this done.

Make sure you are in USB Debugging mode.

There are tutorials around these forums for getting ADB to work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
I've went from the viper rom 3.0.3 and got it to work. I also went from a stock deodexed the second time. It don't matter what ron your currently on as long as you got the cwm redirtor installed like stated in the op. This is not rocket science. Put the 2 files on your sd card. Reboot using adb. Flash the prepair.zip. Reboot recovery using adb. Run the script on your computer while your still in the modified cwm. Once the script is finished flash the rom then flash the kernel then reboot
[Epic 4G Android Development] gharris040604:
Did u unplug and plug back in before u ran the bat file?

ok.... well that explains some stuff
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dameon87:
Would you stop whining please? No one is going to want to help someone who acts like a baby, and an ass.

The commands HAVE to be done in CWM, as you cannot format an active filesystem.....
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
And the adb commands you need are in the op
[Epic 4G Android Development] danweb66:
Ok first off I have this working........ after hours of bashing my head, just to find out that if you look at your screen on your phone, super user app ask for permision to get su. After I figured that out if you read through all the pages on this thread and follow the directions it does work.

Second.... after applying this and playing around for a bit it does seem to be a little snapier, I aam running a live wallpaper and there is no lag when switching screens and bettery life seems to be good even with live wallpaper running and playing on the internet.

Third.... I am going to put together a video tutorial in a couple hours to help people out seeing how there is so many people having issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Some of us understand this. But then read the posts like the one below.

Dude, if you aren't tech savvy this is the wrong thing to be messin with, no offense. Why don't you just Odin back to DI18 stock and chill till they release the official Froyo? Or you can wait to Dameon releases 2.6 which will probably be an update Zip and Kernel zip (unsure if Clockwork "redirector" will be required or just original CWM at that point). In any case, we are in here with the knowledge that we may blow our phones up. There are so many folks in here asking what adb is, yet they are on a computer with access to Google. That amazes me.

Edit: By the way, I'm so stupid that when I first started in here 3 months ago I flashed a Fascinate ROM on my Epic and cooked it, bricked for real...and had to return it to Sprint. And I never said a word to anyone. Because I am responsible for my own issues.
[Epic 4G Android Development] hayabusa1300cc:
honestly i run windows 7 ultimate on both my machines. Windows 7 runs perfect with these android hacks.

The only problem that will come up, as with any windows os, is the phone not being recognized. either adb and storage mount. In that case you need a new usb cable. THE ONE CAME WITH EPIC is ****, only good for charging. I am using an HTC evo cable, and it works perfectly.

So maybe try a different brand micro usb cable?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZenInsight:
Or a different port on the PC. Or a friends PC. And make sure that all the required files for ADB are in the folder you are running the command prompt from.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kinglegz:
im following all of the directions to the tee it seems like when itry to run the bat file adb is not recognizing my phone everything untill that step works
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
The awnsers to your questions are in the op what is do hard about that. The question about your phone not being recognized had been multiple times. What's left? For you to give your phone to someone and have then do it for you
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Did you unplug your phone and plugged back in? What ron was you using before you tried installing this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
it works. Its always worked for me no master what rom I use wether it was for eclair or froyo. I believe cynagon is the only rom with music problems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kinglegz:
yes i replugged it im currently using midnight v2.1.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Does the midnight rom have the cwm redirtior built in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
This is the most convoluted mod I have ever seen, the instructions are so half-assed It's astonishing. Still not able to get this working, I give up. Doesn't seem worth it considering I've had to odin my phone back to stock like 5 times since trying to figure this out. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, which is highly unlikely because I know how all of this works, it just isn't doing what it's supposed to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Well ext4 has nothing to do with music. All ext4 is a file system. If your having music problems it would be rom related
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Life Engineer:
I have connections problems with my WIFI-Router!

I don't know where the problem is!

I have my wifi connection saved to my cell phone ("Remembered the network") but when the router is ON the phone tells me "Not in range" and doesn't connect to it automatically! AND that happens on the remaining 2 android phones that i have! So i guess the problem is not in the phone! Besides they scan many wifi signals in the area but not the one of my house!

However, if i keep restarting the router and forgetting the network then adding it manually, "sometimes" it works and all phones can connect normally to the router!

It is bugging me a lot because sometimes 2 days pass without being able to connect!!!

What can be this problem?!

Thanks

PS: PCs and my bro's nokia symbian connect normally to the router all the time!

I know this has something to do with MAC addresses and IP addresses but i dunno what...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
What kind of router do you have, and what kind of network security?

Maybe try changing from wep to wap, I had Android on my old Rhodium, and it would connect to wap and unsecured, but wep wouldn't work. I think HD2's don't have the same problem, but anything's worth a try. There is no such thing as failure, just finding out what doesn't work before you can find out what does work :-)

Sent from my... whatever
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Life Engineer:
First thanks for the reply!

I guess the problem is in the router too! Although i didn't have that problem weeks ago :rolleyes:
