help with ext4 recovery! - HTC Sensation

Hi all, I have an s-on unlocked htc sensation. Last night I went to bed and woke up to a phone that was dead (forgot to plug in) so I charged it a little bit and then turned it on..only to find that it just stays at the white HTC screen. I then went into recovery and tried to reinstall a clockwork mod recovery(which has worked plenty of times) but this time it said "the folder does not contain any zip files, so I thought, Oh well time to do a fresh install anyway, so I went into the 4ext recovery/wiped everything, then turned on the smart ext..ran super wipe, then installed the elegancia 4.0 2.7, everything went fine...until it finished, EXT4 recovery then says something like creating backup..blah blah blah..then says backup failedthere was an error processing the command (not the exact terminology)..so then i let it restart and again it is stuck at the white htc screen. I then reboot into recovery again, and it says smart 4ext has been disabled, go to tools etc to re-enable..report your error blah blah blah..I just dont get it, i have done this many times, but I am clueless on why it wont boot..i have the latest files etc too 1.27.00 bootloader as well, I am unable to do anything with adb right now..I am at work, but really need a phone today..can someone help possibly?..Thanks a million....Larry

I forgot about having to do it that way since I dont have s-off..I cant get to a computer that has adb right now..is there any way I can do this from the phone?..maybe extract the boot.img from the zip file or something like that?Thanks for your help.

Not possible as you would be using the kernel when you are booting the phone (just like how formatting c drive (where windows is normally installed) is not possible when using windows)

eah...makes sense...ok cool...thanks for your help..ill get it done this afternoon....

It'll be easier to help if you can provide exact errors you are getting and exactly what you did. Try installing an AOSP ROM and let us know the error you are getting. I've never used smart EXT so maybe let it be disabled and try.

you can't do it through the phone casue to flash the boot.img you need to be in fastboot mode...

Rom Manager & Mytouch 4G Slide

Okay, is anyone else having a hard time using Rom Manager using it's features due to the fact that the MT4GS is NOT listed as one of the models. I mean, how am I supposed to enter manual flash override if I can't even select MY phone model. What are WE supposed to do???
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
we don't have an official recovery yet, so we have to use Modaco 4.0.0.9 for the time being..
WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT FLASH THE RECOVERY FOR ANOTHER PHONE..
That's a lil late however, I think I already did that, now I can't even enter recovery mode anymore, and when I power on while holding the volume button down. I get same message about trying to load and then it says no image. Even then if I try to press recovery I get stuck on the white t-mobile/HTC screen. Mt only option if to reboot. I'm st my wits end. Should I just Unroot and then just Root back again?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
YES flash the PD15IMG file and start over from scratch with revolutionary and then upgrade to modaco's 4.0.0.9 recovery. There is no support for the MT4GS in ROM Manager and it's not safe at all to flash anything that's designed for another phone unless you want problems! Good luck!

There's probably an easier way. Download the modaco recovery zip, unzip it and grab the img file and rename it to recovery.img. Then reboot into the bootloader and use fastboot to flash the img. That should do the trick.

Just want to say thank you and I'm going to donate some coffee cash to you later. I followed your method of copying/transferring recovery image through terminal emulator on my phone and now it works PERFECTLY again. I think I accidentally flashed a different version of recovery for a different phone model through Rom Manager. So I learned my lesson. I also spoke with Koush yesterday and he assured me that a fix is on the way for the MT4GS, which is great to hear, otherwise, it's pretty much useless to us.

Where on my SD card am I supposed to stick the "recovery.img" file so that FASTBOOT will see it? I am having no luck finding/loading the IMG file....
I got it figured out. NEVERMIND =)
1) Download MoDaCo's recovery to your computer.
2) Download the Fastboot binary for your computer.
3) I'm assuming you have ADB set up on your computer, so type in "adb shell reboot bootloader".
4) When your phone is in the bootloader, type in "fastboot flash recovery */path/to/recovery.img*" and then "fastboot reboot".
5) You should be able to boot into recovery now.
Thank You Sir. I had already figured it out. I felt so stupid when I did too... It happens though... I guess I should have read more.
Yea I did this by accident once, flashed the MT4G recovery through Rom Manager. I suggest just go ahead and dont install that app at all, you cant really do anything with it anyway since most of the options are unavailable unless you flash CWM recovery through the app. Also, if you are using Unity Rom, CWM reads your device as a HTC Sensation, so dont be fooled. Once you flash the 4009 originally you should be good, if you accidentally flash another phones recovery, none of your nandroids will work

Thats actually a horrible score. Your overclocked to 1.8ghz and only at 5000? My RubiX is at 4900 with no overclock. One of my testers got 6100 using unity 1a kernel clocked to 1.6ghz.

Bricked Htc One S, stuck in bootloader and Clockwork recovery

Hi everyone,
i am so very new to this. here it goes. I tried to root my HTC One S and install cm9. well the root worked. I installed the cm9 rom. that looked like it worked too. so i went to turn the phone on and it booted up ok, showed the cm9 boot up animation, then the screen went completly white and stayed like that. well i booted up into clockworkmod recovery, did a factory reset (i also did a factory reset/clear storage in bootloader), and accidentally erased everything, i think. stock rom, cm9 everything. now i can only get the phone to boot up into the bootloader or clockworkmod recovery. so i think its bricked. it tried to install the tmobile ruu and that failed. idk what to do, im really nervous i wont be able to get my phone back. cwmr also says it cant mount sd card..when i plugged the phone in to the computer, devices menu says android and sometimes it says ville. If someone is able to give me step by step instructions on how to fix this, i would greatly appreciate it because i am freaking out. I have seen the term flash around the forums idk what that means or how to do it. i also tried forcing a new rom thru adb and that didnt work. i really dont know what to do at this point. I would greatly appreciate it, if someone can help me with this.
Thanks
Frank
My guess would be: flash the stock recovery via fastboot.
Then get a RUU and install it. (and you probably just had the white screen because u didn´t flash boot.img).

try to relock your bootloader with the all in one toolkit and after that, while your phone is in fastboot usb mode with the bootloader reloked, install the offial ruu for your phone. Try to find the download of the original ruu, it is an exe file, when you run it the phone must be connected in fastboot usb, if everything goes fine the phone should be back to stock.
Ok I will try tonight. Hopefully it works.

Can I install a boot.img within phone?

Hi everyone, I have S-on still, I am wondering if I can pull the boot.img from a kernel of a rom and move somewhere to my sdcard if I wanted to flash a rom that doesnt have this built in to it...the reason I am asking is because alot of downtime at work and sometimes I want to tinker with other roms, but since I have hboot 1.27 most of the roms need the boot.img pushed, and I cant install software to do this on my work computer....If it can be done on the phone by using ES file explorer or something similar, can someone guid me on where to put the boot.img...i believe on the root of sd?....just curious here....thanks much...Larry

if you use 4ext recovery with s-on smart flash enabled it will flash the bootimg after it installs the rom i believe, so no need to manually flash the boot img. is this what you mean?

Yes.. Wait for 10 minutes max.. If it's not booting then.. You need to flash boot.img of the rom seperately from fastboot but that process requires pc access.. Or try this.. If not booted.. Go to recovery again.. Then enable smartflash again and immediately flash the rom.. Without doing any wipe.. This might work

are you 100% sure smart flash is enabled? when you flash some roms like arhd it flashes a new 4ext as well i think.
if you do then im not 100% sure on how to proceed. have you thought about just going full s-off? once you have it you dont need to flash the bootimg afterwards

This is normal for Smart Flash, the device will boot to the splash screen then flash the boot.I mg then reboot again but all the way nto the ROM on the second reboot. Also I know you can flash splashscreens and recoveries via Terminal Emulator but I am not sure about the boot.img. From what I am do know about Android I am thinking you probably can not but it is worth a Google search.
Ok, so I downloaded the Elegancia Pegasus, I went into 4ext recovery, did a super wipe, turned on smart flash, installed the rom zip, did not reboot but enabled smart flash again, and then installed the rom again..(reason for this was I was thinking maybe it installed a new 4ext)..I really dont think it did though, but still stuck at the white htc screen...I may have to just do this from a computer...weird thing is that Elegancia sense 4.x 3.1.0 flashes just fine, but i imagine thats because that Boot.img is not getting written over by the pegasus one..any other ideas?...the ext recovery I am using is the stable most current release btw..thanks everyone...Dirtylarry

indeed, but he can do that at home with His pc then he will be able to flash any rom he likes without the need of smartflash. thus solving his problem and allowing him to flash roms at work when he has some spare time allowing he already has the roms with him, or he can still download

[Q] I've made a huge mistake, is my HOX still salvageable?

Hello,
I just want to say that please don't say "you should have read instructions more carefully...etc" its too late for that. I'm just trying to see if its possible to get my HOX working again so its not a brick. So please, if you can help me, I will gladly donate to you.
I have a HTC ONE XL (AT&T). I saw a thread today on XDA saying 2.2 was able to be rooted, so I decide to root my HOX. It took a lot of courage, but I was able to root it and unlock the bootloader.
Everything was going great, I decided to flash CM10, the newest one: cm-10-20121025-EXPERIMENTAL-evita.zip. along with gapps-jb-20121011-signed.
First mistake: I did not backup
Recovery is TWRP v2.3.1.0
I wiped cache, dalvik cache, and system, then flashed CM10
Then i flashed GAPPS
I thought I had everything in the bag, rebooted it and let it do its thing. People say the first boot took long time (~5 mins) I gave it 10 mins. Nothing, its stuck on the boot loop.
Then I retried this 2 other times, same thing.
I panicked and accidentally hit factory reset, and managed to clear everything, both of the flashable files (CM10 and GAPPS) from my HOX, now all i can do is go into TWRP recovery. If i try to reboot into bootloader system or recovery it says "NO OS installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?"
So please, can anyone help me, this was a very costly mistake, but I'm trying to fix it.
CLIFFS:
-Made mistake of not backing up
-Now only boots to TWRP, no flashable files.
First of all bro, you did everything right in the first place except flash the boot.img seperate using fastboot. That's why you bootlooped bc you had no kernel.
Second, don't worry lol. plug in phone to your computer and enter twrp, choose "mount". Get on your computer and download Rom of choice. Once downloaded, extract Rom and seperate the boot.img. rezip Rom. Transfer Rom onto phone.
fastboot boot.img, then flash the Rom through twrp. Then your golden

Hi inflatedtitan,
Thanks for replying, you are a lifesaver, i almost bought another phone... because i thought i was done for.
However, im not sure what you mean exactly as i have not done this flashing before. so i downloaded the rom cm10.
1. so i unizip the rom on my computer
2. copy rom onto phone
3. flash??
thanks please clarify thanks again.
ur a lifesaver.
EDIT: when i hit mount, there are 4 boxes, what do i check (i cant select SD card)? and when i hit mount, it shows up on my computer but asks me to format disk. should i do it?!
As you already factory reseted and lost everything, you should format as the damage is already done lol, it'll get your sdcard back right. But when you extract cm10 on your computer you'll see the boot.img in the folder. Move it to where you have adb and fastboot. THEN rezip Rom and transfer to your phone.

so i copy the boot to the folder with adb and fastboot? and copy cm-10-2012... to my HOX (unchanged)?
Yes exactly, then run fastboot flash boot boot.img
After that is done, open TWRP and run the zip file
Rom will have excluded boot.img . Try it out and see what happens as you recapped. I'm not so sure as your running fastboot through the xfactor program.. but try it out, worst case is you bootloop like last time. If that happens again, you know to download android SDK tools, adb and fastboot and reinstall HTC drivers and start over

They are many simple tutorials for rooting but do not know why you guys having hard time. Ok here is
1) You got Android SDK from google + Platform-tools + Google USB Driver -
2) Only for windows - Download htc sync ( It will install necessary htc drivers) - Link
3) Just to check if htc drivers installed properly , open "C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists).
4) In command window type " adb devices" and see output - If you get output then htc drivers installed properly.
You can skip step 3 and step 4 - These steps are only for verification
5) Goto [ROOT] HTC One X AT&T 2.20 Firmware - X-Factor root exploit and follow the instructions there.
6) Once you successfully root your device using above exploit then goto - [How To] Flash Custom recovery and ROMS after 2.20 root complete the steps to flash custom recovery and if you want to flash ROMS
7) To unlock BOOT LOADER use this link - [INDEX] AT&T/ROGERS One X Resources Compilation Roll-Up , follow the instructions under " BOOTLOADER UNLOCK, SUPER CID, AND S-OFF"
You can also goto this link - [ROOT][2.20] One XL Bootloader unlock & Root guide By XsMagical - Very nice tutorial, if you find above links difficult to follow
Note* : During exploit or flashing recovery they talk about using fastboot commands, In order to execute them you need goto C:\android-sdk\platform-tools" ( Or folder where adb and fastboot exists) then "Press shift + right click and select "Open command window here" ( open command prompt and cd "folder where adb and fastboot exists) and then execute the commands ..
Advice - Do not flash any roms apart from xda
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda premium
uhh guys so i did the whole fastboot thing, everything looked great. but when i try to go back to recovery, im stuck at the htc quietly brilliant
"this build is for development purpose only
do not distribute..." screen. I cant get back to recovery!?
Sorry for being such a noob, i really appreciate your guyses help.
Try it a couple times, if that doesn't work reflash recovery.

How long did you stay on that screen? Did you see the cyanogenmod boot animation at all?

Have you tried holding power and volume down? When phone flashes and goes off, release power button and keep holding volume down till you get to hboot. White screen that says fastboot, recovery, facto reset, etc

Any progress bro?

you don't delete boot.img from the rom, leave the original zip untouched. just make sure you flash boot.img in fastboot though. whenever i flash something in fastboot i like to run "fastboot erase cache".
NEVER factory reset in bootloader, it will mess up your sdcard.
you should rewipe and reflash everything in twrp. also verify the md5 checksums of cm10 and gapps both the md5 sums are listed at their download locations.

yep that's another thing i've asked all the querying noobs to do, changing the op to [SOLVED] when it is but to no avail :crying:
sry guys it took very long, i followed all your instructions and finally fixed it last night. I went straight to sleep because of work. Thanks again for your help, sorry for late restponse:
my solution: I followed INFLATEDTITAN's instructions. double click the cm10 rom, then take out the boot.img, copy that to where your fastboot files are, SHIFT right click, select CMD (or open cmd and use cd to change directory to folder), then type what he said w/ fastboot, make sure your connected. Then i flashed the cm10 rom, the gapps, reboot, took a couple tries.
Anyways, it works great, so smooth.... on wifi.
I have stragiht talk, and I've been getting really crappy speeds for data, from 5Mbps to 0.16.... down, interestingly, upload has not changed ~1.2 mbps. does anyone have any insight? Why DL is so slow but UL is still the same?

Can you tell me how to edit my post? i can only edit the content, not the title.
Also I have a question on radios. From this thread: (click "this")
I have the latest cm10 nightly build, as I said in my previous post, I am on straight talk. While the radio is showing HSPA+, I'm getting edge speeds (0.16mbps) but good upload speed ~1.2mbps.
Can I use the AT&T 2.2 radio from this list? (near the bottom)
Radios for Latest CM10 versions (with radio in /system/etc/firmware)
I just rooted my phone from 2.2, and want to make sure I'm using the right one.
Thanks.
Sorry bro, can't flash radios and RILs being you have the newer hboot
Sounds like you're into aosp roms. But usually the newer sense Roms are just as amazing and usually are updated with the newer radio. However I'm using old hboot, so I can't confirm that if you flash a Rom, the included radio will also automatically flash. Can anyone reading help with the correct answer?

Thanks, so the only thing i can do at this point is to flash a original HTC ICS rom (basically where i started before root)?
Well like I say, I'm not even sure it'll install the new radio lol. So I'd sit tight till someone replies with the correct advice.

I'm in hpsa and that's about what I get too. I'll get a few tests that'll nail about 6 on download speed, sometimes I can't even get 1 lol. I wouldnt worry too much unless it gets super sluggish when you have full service

[Q] Bricked my HTC One S

Hi all,
Got mine today, tried to install a ROM and it got stuck in bootloop.
I did a number of stupid things not to mention wiping the SD and im in serious trouble.
I can get into bootloader and CWM but thats it.
Ive heard restoring a RUU can cure it but I have a MAC and cant find anything to help.
Can anyone help? Im gutted....and fell like an idiot.
Ive got an S4 on the three network.
Thanks
Hold down the power button for 10 seconds then after the touch buttons stop flashing, just hold the volume button and see if ot enters the bootloader.

Specifically you'll have to flash the ROM zip file from the recovery and then use fastboot flash boot boot.img.
You can find boot.img inside the ROM zip file
Tried flashing ROM zip but no joy...when should i flash boot img? before or after recovery?

Finally seem to have done it and managed to RUU
The phone is locked to 3 but as a noob I spent 2 days flashing a generic euro ROM.
When i realised i need a ROM to match CID i downloaded 1.53. Tried this a number of times with no joy.
Just tried 1.78 and it seems to be working
Thanks to everyone for your help - us noobs must be sooooooo annoying.
Htc One S bricked
Hi im relatively new at rooting and am currently experiencing issues with a bricked device.
i have two htc one s devices
my personal one is running cm10 ville with clockwork touch recovery and is working perfectly
however the second one i was using the same exact files.
this one is bricked
its in a constant bootloop.
i can get back to my recovery just fine and get to the fastboot in the phone fine
i cleared my cache
wiped my data and wiped the dalvik cache all perfectly fine when i try to flash the cm10 official rom back on it cannot mount the sd card
i would try to install a different recovery and try again maybe using viper one s
but i cannot get the phone to power on
it doesnt showup on the computer when it is plugged in while in fastboot
when i try the cmd fastboot flash recovery it says waiting for device
any advice. this is not my own phone so i need it repaired pretty quickly.
any helpful information would be much appreciated.

Bootloop does not mean your bricked...means you need to fastboot flash boot.img

This little post just pulled me out of missery. Love ya man!
all you guys getting sorted
make a nandroid and sdcard bu NOW and put them on pc,
obviously leave a copy of nandroid on phone also
makes it a lot easier if you get in trouble again
and you/we will
Mounts and Storage --> Format everything --> Now Mount USB Drive --> Put Gapps and ROM
Flash it, erase cache & and Dalvik...Blah blah blah. Flash boot.img in fastboot, and there you go.
Everybody, please remember this and there won't be noob q&a anymore...
