Hi, I am trying to install the Revolution HD ROM...it says to install 4EXT recovery. I downloaded the updater and installed the program on the phone. However, when I boot into recovery (volume down/power), it stills boot into clockwork recovery.
Can I flash that ROM from that? or should it show 4EXT recovery? Do I have to uninstall Clockwork or something?
Sounds like you forgot to flash the recovery.

It's smooth as butter, I love the fact that you have more control over what you are backing up, ie not backing up Davik or cache, saves room and time, faster backup and restore than CWM and it has themes. Stability. I've been using it since it's first release, it was the first Touch Recovery.
Oh...sorry for being dumb...but how would you flash the 4EXT recovery? I couldn't really find a clear guide to install it...I just downloaded the apk file as instructed and then install the program from the app....I haven't seen anywhere about flashing the 4EXT.
Appreciate your help!

Easy, just open up the 4ext app that you downloaded and click online install, make sure you have internet and just follow the on screen directions.

Open the app, there should be an option for installing recovery. I am on paid app so I am not certain where it's located in the free version. Should be up at the top I would think.
You can flash without 4Ext but with 4Ext it's better and have more options,like instaling diferent kernels and Sony Bravia engines.You will like 4Ext better once you have it.

An APK of 4EXT free can be downloaded at their website at 4ext.net or you can follow the link in my sig
Flash the ROM, it includes 4Ext Recovery in it.

Hi
I installed 4EXTRecovery and now the Rom Manager.. Rom Manager tells me that I need to install ClockworkMod.. isn't 4EXTRecovery doing the same as ClockworkMod? Can I just choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" or does that destory 4EXTRecovery?
Cheers
Michael
4EXT is based on cwm recovery but it have more function than cwm recovery.if you choose flahs CWM recovery,it will replace 4EXTRecovery
ok.. thats exactly what I understood.. but than I cannot use rom manager?! (if I want to keep ext4recovery?)
That is because Rom Manager is made by the same person/people that made CWM.
They will want you tu use their recovery software for better compatibly.
You can use it, press menu and then manual flash override

I only use rom manager premium and I can use ext4 recovery, maybe this is why? Although rom manager is of the few programs that I'll never mind paying for as it pays for all of our recoverys, ext4 included

I have to disagree with you. I bought it and it is not working for me. I can not see ANY premium ROM, I cannot use update feature, nothing... I'm not the only one with this issue and people, including me, reported it and there is no progress... no one is trying to help us.
I'm not sure if it happened today or yesterday, but CWM now has a recovery compatibile with the ROM manager app. Just wanted to pass the word.

If I were you I would make sure I am running a custom ROM (this will be rooted properly). If you already are, backup up all your files, do a super wipe, and try installing another custom ROM.
Also make sure your WiFi is turned on whenever using ROM manager.

Thanks for the thread. I just went into RM and asked to flash the current recovery and that prompted me to choose the phone to flash and only the HTC Sensation was listed so that was easy peasy. I hit that, let RM flash the current recovery and during that the SU asked for root permission which I granted of course (this with the window to choose the phone was still up). When I noticed the background bar on top was done, I hit HTC Sensation in the pop up window again and it gave me a successful message.
I am now backing up my current ROM now (CoreDroid).
Everyone need to Download rom manager right now. I just flashed official cwm recovery just now v5.0.2.7 and yes its for doubleshot.

I am also very new to this. So what about the current Modaco CWM Recovery 4.0.0.9? It will still be there but it won't be used? Do we also access nandroid backups from ROM manager? (So in other words, will we only do everything with ROM manager from now on?)

ROM Manager is just a way to access CWM Recovery. If you flash the official CWM Recovery, it will overwrite Modaco's version.

Installed new recovery through rom manager, to 5.0.2.7 and rebooted into recovery.
All seems well.
BUTTTTTTTT when i tried to do a backup of my current virtuous rom i get an error: "can't mount target path"
And then when testing the restore i get an error: "can't mount path /sdcard"
And when testing the wipe & format options, instead of the traditional Yes or No.... I now have like 10 No options and 1 Yes option.
Something seems bogus, ive reinstalled the recovery twice but same effect.

This is a must for the g2x. If you use from manager it only fake flashes clockwork mod recovery and makes you unable to flash roms.
Typical way to achieve root on the g2x is to.
1. Nvflash cwm
2. Create a nandroid backup.
3. Flash a rom that has root.
Don't bother with rom manager or super one click.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot and get back to you. I don't think it had to do with the wipe as I always ran a wipe script before installing. I thought it had to do with the kernel.... (don't have a clue though)
I'll flash the clockwork via nvflash, and get back to you, thanks.

IT WORKS. NVFlash the recovery, make sure to change the command if you have a different version you plan to flash/

you definitely want to do that. do you have a nandoid backup of your original system? if your phone breaks, that is the only way to revert it back to original for an exchange (unless ofcourse you take a hammer to it).

I think so. Catch is that I don't know if doing that will actually update anything, the whole problem is that ROM manager doesn't flash it properly/to the right place. The only thing to do is make a nandroid and try it out and if ti doesn't work, then reflash with NV flash and you're good.

I flashed a few other ROMs after i updated CWM thru ROM manager.. and all of them flashed with out any problems.. the only Issue i had was when i tried flashing Morfic's Trinity kernal .. my phone would get stuck at the boot animation.. i wiped every thing and reflashed CyanogenMod and my phone is working agin [I wiped cache and Dalviks before i flashed the kernal.. i guess my phone cant handle it] http://media.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/mad.gif .. Thanks Bro
Right 1st off I have been looking into this for a few weeks now and have searched but I just want to be sure before I do actually do anything and potentially damage my phone. Also I did used to flash custom rims on my desire so I'm not completely new to this but am by no means a pro at it.
I have s-off using revolutionary but that's as far as I've gone and I didn't install custom recovery due to wanting to install the official ics update which is what I'm running now.
1st question is are there any preferred recoveries? I know on my desire there were a few to choose from which could affect being able to install certain Roms and also are there any issues using recovery now that I've update to ics?
2nd how would I go about flashing it? I read about downloading it to root of sd and flashing from stock recovery.
3rd I've seen that I apparently don't need root as a custom Rom comes pre rooted?
4th will the whole flashin a Rom proceedure be the same as what I'm used to e.g. boot into recovery backup current rom, wipe when needs then flash Rom and reboot. Also I've read about a super wipe what is this?
I think ill he ok with all this but I love this phone and don't want to cause any damage to it.
Any help would be appreciated. Thankyou

1. CWM or 4ext. Many prefer 4ext for the touch interface and additional options. You can download an updater for this from market, it will install it for you.
2. CWM Recovery can be flashed via the boot loader, it's exactly like updating the boot loader on your desire. You will also use this method to update your firmware - this is different to desire, it updates various parts including radio.
3&4 yes the same!

I would suggest 4EXT touch for recovery over ClockworkMod. There has been numerous reported cases in XDA threads with ROM installation issues using CWM. I myself have had issues with CWM and only recently changed to 4EXT recovery.
As for superwipe, have a look at this link.

You cannot root if you don't install a custom recovery first.
You can download 4EXT recovery in PG58IMG from Here
Rename it only PG58IMG and put on the root of your sd card.
Reboot to bootloader (volume down + power button), at prompt if you want to update, say yes by pushing volume up.
let do its things and when finished push power button to reboot.
Delete PG58IMG from sd card when done (or each time you reboot bootloader it will ask to update).
Once installed, flash this zip from 4EXT recovery.
Then download from the market superuser and busybox to get root.
Hope it helps. Hit thanks if it did
thanks again for your help. just follwed as you said but when i go into bootloader it checks for file then say model id incorrect press power to reboot?

What is your model id?
you can dowload terminal emulator from market and give this command "getprop ro.mid" (without quotes). This will give your model id. Inside the PG58IMG that you downloaded ther is android-info file and there you can change the mid accordingly.
think i might of sorted it. model i.d. walk pg5813001.
just wainting on it rebooting now, delete the file then boot recovery check its worked. make a backup and flash the su file. hopefully.
yup all sorted ext4 on there now (what a great recovery)
sounds really stupid but how do you thank users on here? sorted it i wasnt signed in
