[Q] How to install 4EXT Recovery

I currently have Endymion V3.3 rom installed. I went through the revolutionary process to get root. I currently have the revolutionary cwm recovery installed. I tried installing 4EXT updater but when I went to recovery I still got revolutionary cwm recovery. Also I did a backup with this recovery, would I be able to use it when I install 4EXT. Thanks

All you need to do is to
1. Download and install 4EXT Recovery Updater, and launch it.
2. It will ask for root access, which you must grant.
3. After granting it root access you can use it to download and flash 4EXT Recovery. You must have an internet connection for this.
4. The recovery updater app will now download 4EXT Recovery and flash it on your device, replacing the older CWM Recovery you have currently, it's that simple.
No complicated steps... just like running an app.
As for using backups made with 4EXT, yes you will be able to use them. 4EXT is 100% backward compatible with CWM Recovery. Even the location of your backups remains unchanged (in the folder sdcard/clockworkmod/backups)
Go ahead, try the steps i outlined above. Then let us know if you hit any problem (very unlikely though!)

Hey, i have a bit of trouble...
Just followed your guide to install 4ext recovery but the **** wont work...
I have downloaded the updater apk and installed it, i granted superuser access, then i pressed (in the application) "Online install | upgrade" then chose the latest recovery package and pressed install.
After that has been done it says: "Successfully flashed new recovery. Recovery.img was saved to sdcard/..." but later when i reboot to mine recovery i still have the freakin CWM 2.5.0.3 or something installed... WHAT am i doing wrong..?

See the above posts.... this method works flawlessly. But if for some reason you're unable to update from CWM, just download the attached file, boot into CWM recovery, and flash this zip from within recovery.
Alternately, you can also download the attached Android Flasher and flash the recovery (extract the recovery.img from the zip file) using it. It's a fast and simple method to do it.
I'm feeling extra helpful today, so i'll type out another method... Use fastboot (i assume you know how to set it up, otherwise look at my signature for link) to flash the recovery using the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
DOWNLOADS:
Android Flasher
4EXTRecovery_v2.2.7_RC5_Flashable.zip
The recovery attached is not the touch version, its the most stable non-touch version. Once you are on it, you can later use the Recovery Control app to upgrade to the touch version.
Hope this will solve your problem.

If your phone has the latest HBOOT and unlocked with htcdev.com then you must use the fastboot flash method as exlained above.
But for Revolutionary the regular app method should work just fine.

acutally i dont know if i have made a mistake now or if t doesnt matter...
i sit on a HTC Desire GSM and not a HTC Desire S... does it matter???
and i have tried the option when you are booting into the CWM recovery 2.7.0.5 and try to flash the zip file from there but nothing works... it just says when im opening the 4ext updater apk that "Im up to date"...
i have rom manager installed and 4ext recovery updater, maybe there is some complications with them both installed???
really need to get the 4ext recovery... since i dont like the CWM and since i need the 4ext to install sebastiaaans rom....
and one more thing: you said that i lately can upgrade to the touch version, am i able to do this with my phone? PVT-1 Ship S-ON BRAVO
thanks!

so why do you post it right here? I think in desire forums your chance too get a satisfying answer it's really higher. Btw I don't think that there is a really big difference, but who could tell you better than a desire (without s) owner?

Word of friendly advice : You shouldn't go around asking for help in forums for other devices as you may end up flashing something that could bugger up your phone... There is a HUGE difference between the Desire S and the Desire. Don't go by the similarity in their names... We're a very helpful bunch over here at the DS forums, but i would kindly request you to take this query to your own community which i'm sure will help you sort it out. (Or grab a Desire S and start roaming these lands!! ) - just kidding.
Better still, why not PM madmaxx82 and ask the creator himself regarding 4EXT issues.

Make sure you are not plugged into your pc when you boot to recovery! - if that doesn't solve it ..
Does the phone boot to the existing Rom, do you have Rom manager installed? - if so update the recovery from Rom Manager. I found that after rooting the One S using the toolkit I could not get in to recovery, the update from Rom Manager sorted it!
All the best :good:

Had same issue with the tool kit, the cwm didnt stick. The Touch work one did stick and I was able to get into recovery. However I downloaded the app ROM MANAGER and flashed the recovery from there. Since then I've had no issues booting into reocvery or bootloader. Just download rom manager and go about it that way!

Which recoveries have you tried, and what version of phone do you have (S3 or S4). These must match.
Make sure you bootloader unlocked OK, check in bootloader screen, should say Unlocked.
The problem youre describing sound like when you try to boot after successfully flashing a ROM but forgot to or the kernel failed to flash with it. Only happens when ROM and kernel are mismatched enough that it wont boot, fex flashing CM9 and still on HTC original kernel. Try flashing the kernel from the ROM zip file with
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
You can also try booting a recovery without installing it,
Code:
fastboot boot nameofrecoveryfile.img

If you have working ADB and fastboot working (there is a sticky by user fibsib that explains this) you can make sure your phone isnt really just trying to boot the OS and failing rather than trying to enter recovery with the command
Code:
adb reboot recovery
But anyways figure out which version you have before doing anything more, flash the wrong stuff and you could break stuff. There are good info here as to how to see if you have the Ville=Z520e=S4 processor model or the Ville C2/Z560e/S3 processor model.
Then download a recovery for your phone model and install it with this command from your computer
Code:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecoveryyoudownloaded.img
Should work.

have you actually flashed a recovery yet?
which one and how did you do it?

Make sure you have your phone updated to the latest software version before you root. Download system update OTA and click update.
Otherwise you will have issues.
I am rooted T-Mobile phone with original software 1.54 and still can not do recovery or update, it is probably me but it is difficult.
If you are in the US, make sure you use the US version in the development section after you upgrade your phone. Update then try to root it might be easier.

Assistance with Flashing roms please.

My boot loader and phone is rooted.
AT&T Htc one X
I have tried to flash a couple roms + the boot.img but the device pauses at HTC splash screen (I DID clear caches)
but its constant and I have to go into Fastboot-Usb and reinstall the RUU in order to try again.
Does anyone have any ideas?

What rom did you try to flash ? How did you go about it ?

Thank the android gods it wasn't an international ROM.
Did you flash superuser or supersu. We will need a little more information in the steps you've taken. Can you make a list of the steps for us?

ok. i'm not gonna beg if you want help I need DETAILS not vague s***t like "TWRP or whatever".. So evidently you can boot into recovery with no problem. What rom are you trying to flash ? You need to extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and flash that in fastboot and then flash the rom.zip in recovery.
If you're not booting it's most likely because your phone is not finding a kernel (boot.img)
So more details or more reading
Good luck to you

Its not a good idea to ask for help and then flame. Honestly what was hard about posting this the first time? I thought maybe English wasn't your language or something. How could you flash a recovery before unlocking???
If you wiped everything, you should reflash bootimage in adb. Then flash your ROM. Please be nice.

[Q] Root and Custom recovery not sticking...

curious if there is something i'm missing here... i've unlocked my bootloader successfully but whenever i fastboot flash a recovery or flash root files in recovery nothing seems to stick... not sure whats going on... i've heard of having to flash recovery everytime on devices with a locked bootloader but i didn't think that would apply here... any help is much appreciated... (this is also my first samsung/nexus device so i'm more familiar with methods used on the EVO line)

Make sure you're using a perm root method. and make sure you have the correct updated SU application. My root wouldn't come through because I didn't have the latest SU.
Hopefully I helped.

By default, any recovery you flash on the system will be gone by the next reboot. This is a security measure the android os does I think.
1. You can flash a ROM. Anyone. I prefer aokp or cna. That way the recovery sticks (the recovery sticks on all the ROMs besides stock)
OR
P.S. You will need the latest cwm recovery
2. So all you need to do is to flash the recovery of your choice. I would recommend CWM for this short guide. Then once flashed go to the recovery make a backup. Then if it reboots flash the same recovery again. Boot into it and restore that backup. When you restore it and go reboot system now it should come up with a menu saying recovery flash fix (or something around those lines). Hit/navigate to yes and you should get a sticky recovery from there. BTW I have not tried this method.
You cannot blame me for bricking, damaging or done anything to your phone
Hope this helps.
Regards,
UselessSniper001
P.S. I don't know how root isn't sticking. I mean if you have flashed the su is the recovery already well then you are all set to go. Unless you haven't actually flashed the su in the recovery. Then flash the recovery from your PC boot into the recovery and flash the su files in the recovery. Reboot and enjoy. Then follow this guide above. Or follow this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875&page=2

I finally figured out the SU and CWM I was flashing was ancient so I found the newest and they stuck with help of the fix ya mentioned inside CWM... Thanks

According to your bootloader details you are at a good starting point. Here is what I recommend you do from here:
1. Download a custom recovery like TWRP:

2. flash this in bootloader mode. If you don't know how here is the help thread you need to read through:

3. Once you have a custom recovery installed, you can flash SuperSu or other root app (google is your friend.)
4. Stick with the rooted rom you have or flash another of your choosing.

Not impossible for you because your bootloader is unlocked and you are S-Off. You are always able to root and flash.

Hey, I have the same bootloader setup but i am unable to flash a recovery

What happens when you try to flash a recovery?
What recovery are you trying to flash?
Post your own bootloader (Don't show the IMEI)

Why are you using a toolkit to flash recovery???
Just download from http://goo.im/devs/OpenRecovery/evita
or download the unofficial TWRP from the original android dev section if you plan on flashing an AOSP or CM based Rom and then fastboot flash recovery recovery_filename.img
Easy peasy. Too many links is an error that should have nothing to do with flashing recovery...

You need to type the filename of the recovery file you download. Either the recovery filename you are typing is wrong or the file is not in the folder you are trying to flash from.
