[Q] Clockwork Mod to 4EXT recovery - HTC Incredible S

Hey guys,
Before I get flame at, let me point out a few things
1.) I've been searching throughout the forum in and out to find the answer to my question but I have failed so.
2.) I'm using a custom firmware by nikhil007mmus Jelly Bean 4.1 on my HTC Incredible S
3.) Recently I was curious about new firmware from PACman. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2105869
Hence my question is,
I'm using the original ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0, and I found out PACman firmware need to be flash using 4EXT recovery.
I've tried to install 4EXT Recovery, followed ALL the steps provided by alot of people, but everytime after finished installing all the settings and configuration, when I boot up my recovery it is still on ClockworkMod
Why is this so? What did I do wrong? D:
In need of serious guidance or help here

You need to have adb and fastboot installed in your computer.. if you are using windows you need the htc usb drivers as well
are you on windows?

Just install the 4EXT recovery app from the play store. Follow the steps and it will flash it for you.

Is your device unlocked?

Wow, this is some crazy in-depth **** goin' on!
I am on windows, mind to lay down all the things I need and the steps to follow?
I will read it tomorrow morning, needs to sleep now, it's past midnight here already lol
thanks again!

of course it is if you have already installed custom rom...how stupid of me

Download the recovery zip file.
extract the recovery.img file and place it in C:\android-sdk\platform-tools\recovery.img
Open up command prompt and type:
cd \android-sdk\platform-tools
Now, make sure it detects your android:
fastboot devices
You'll see a line with a serial number, you're good to go (remember you need to be in fastboot mode while you do all of this, Vol. Up + Power while off)
Now, just flash the recovery.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Would this work on the inspire 4g. IV tried flashing it from the app didn't work so now I'm here using the search button. Any suggestions?

Did the 4EXT app automatically detect the device properly? Is the recovery compatible with your device?

Yes it detected my phone and yes its compatible cuz the custom Rom I'm running supposedly had it built in but it's still cwm...... Android revolution hd 7.3
Sent from my HTC Inspire 4G using Tapatalk 2

Thanks for the reply again lol,
and yeah I've flashed it to a custom rom lol.
By downloading recovery zip file you mean going into 4EXT website and download it down?
Once I extract it out, I need to put inside my phone's SD card right? I'm pretty lost at this part now.
I got how you mean by doing all this in the fastboot mode (The white screen with lines of words and THREE androids below the screen, correct?)
And I'm not sure about flashing the recovery.img, oh god..

In the bootloader go fastboot USB, I think you need debugging on but not certain. Then your ready to type command.
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

Connect your phone to your computer via usb (Make sure usb debugging is checked on the phone)
Open a command prompt window
type the following
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot

Oh okay sweet, so I still need to go to 4EXT to download the file first before proceeding right?

No need am attaching the latest 4EXT TOUCH Recovery Zip file
Extract and follow instructions above.
Also dont forget to check the md5 of the .img file. You brick your device if you flash a corrupt recovery
If it works click "Thanks"

Please report if it works and if it does..please edit the title of your thread and added a '[Solved]' to it in the begining

Okay thanks alot! I will try it along the week, I'm kinda busy with daily work schedule recently,
Will update once I try it!
Thanks alot!

I'll bookmark this for my future usage tooo, this is good thread on switching CWM to 4EXT:good:

These steps are manual steps on how to do them and if u just want 4EXT Recovery, then you can download the 4EXT Recovery App. The app will download the proper files as well as flash the recovery once the download is finished.

Possible Bricked Phone

I am really hoping someone can be of some assistance to me, today i managed to unlock the bootloader, install TWRP and root the phone, i then stupidly downloaded and installed a boot animation from ROM Toolbox lite and went to TWRP and tried to flash it, it came up failed, tried to reboot but it only boots into recovery, tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, factory reset,system and format data and still it only boots into recoverywebt to advanced tried to install it said HTC Dumlock is installed but still boots into recovery,tried reflash to recovery abd restore original boot but still it wont boot up as normal, how can i get the phone to just boot up normally does anyone know?
I am such a twat im usually fairly careful when it comes to this type of thing, it'll be a nightmare if i have to pay to leave it into to get done.
Calm flash a custom rom after a full reset and it should work
If you're having issues putting a rom on your device it's possible through adb sideload with the AIO Toolkit
---------- Post added at 02:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------
If you do a factory reset, you remove the Rom element so ideally as I previously mentioned flash a new Rom problem solved

Yeah you need to flash a custom rom - you've wiped system so it won't ever boot no matter how many times you try otherwise

Thanks mate can you be a little bit more specific as to how i can put a ROM on the phone as ive never heard of that AIO toolkit?
If you enter CWM recovery, theres an option called install zip from sideload. Press that and then plug it into your PC, and in CMD type
Code:
adb sideload <location of rom.zip on PC>
I use TWRP i assume that has the same adb sideload?
I am downloading Android Revolution now, so if i create a folder on C drive called c:\android then the ROM is the the img i flash when i open a command?

I presume, I've never used TWRP and yeah correct.
OK i am in ADB sideload now when i open a command and type adb sideload i do not know what else to type, i have saved both the boot img and the full zip file (Android Revolution) in the c:\android folder?
When you type adb devices does your phone show up? Have you installed the correct drivers

I am in an internet cafe too so i cant stay all day just another hour or so.
thanks
I am gonna have to leave it for now as its doing my head in, i wouldn be grateful if someone could post some specific instructions later and ill attempt it tomorrow, everything appears to be ok when i type cmd then
cd c:\android
adb sideload (what is thew exact name of the file i need to enter)
In the folder 'Android' which you cd'd to, is there adb.exe? And you dont use .img you link to the actual rom zip.

Buddy before anything else could you please put/attach/upload the flashable zip of the bootanimation you got from ROM toolbox?
It is better that we know first what partition it has overwritten so we could distinguish what we need to fix.
I understand that usually the system partition is the culprit but reading from the thread that is all pure guesses. It could be you overwritten a different partition that resulted to this.

It's in the Rom zip, assuming your not s-off it must be flashed separately
You can check if your s-off by going to hboot, toward the top it will say s-off or s-on...which basically means security off/on - its another level of security HTC added on above the bootloader
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
It says s-on
so what do i do from here?
Put your boot.img into the folder which your fastboot and adb are and then open a terminal to the folder. Then put your phone into fastboot by entering the bootloader. Then type fastboot devices to see if your device is connected to the computer. If it comes up with your serial number continue if not try again. Then type fastboot flash boot.img and then go to recovery and reflash the rom.

No no... bad advice... ODIN is for Samsung...

Download either TWRP or WCX recovery. As long as your phone can get to the bootloader, you can get into Fastboot and flash the recovery again. Make sure the recovery is in the same folder where you have the adb.exe and fastboot.exe. Open up a command prompt, then change directory to where your fastboot and adb are. Type in fastboot flash recovery "recovery".img where "recovery" would be the name of the recovery file you download. This will flash pretty quickly. Once you get to that point, you probably are S-On so you need to make sure to extract the boot.img from the ROM you downloaded. Use either winrar or 7zip to extract the boot.img to the same location where you have the fastboot.exe and adb.exe. Then go to the command prompt again and change directories to the same folder where you have fastboot and adb. Type in fastboot flash boot boot.img. I usually would run this 3 times to make sure it loads properly. Once that is done reboot the phone again.
Sorry I used it on the HTC evolution 4g and it worked so I figured it would work for vivid

If you still need help, I wrote this guide for you and anyone else who is confused.
Now that you have unlocked the bootloader follow these steps.
1. Boot into the bootloader by pressing volume down + power.
2. Press the power button to enter fastboot.
3. Make sure that beneath the first few lines on the top of the screen it says fastboot usb highlighted in red.
4. Find a version of TWRP, WCX, or whatever recovery image you are going to use and then extract it into the folder on your computer.
5. In CMD, type this:
fastboot flash recovery "name of the file.img"
6. Press [bootloader] to go back to the main menu (without the brackets).
7. Scroll down with the volume button to recovery.
8. Boot into recovery.
If your recovery works, do this to use a custom rom.
9. Go back into the bootloader by turning your phone off and then using power + volume down.
10. Download a custom rom and open up the .zip file. Then, extract the file named boot.img and extract it into the folder on your computer.
11. Enter fastboot and type this into CMD:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
12. Go back into your recovery (following the steps above from 6-8). Mount your internal SD card and put on the file of the custom rom you wish to use onto your storage. Be sure to copy the file in .zip format, not after it has been extracted.
If your custom rom needs Google Apps, then download the correct file which should be specified in the download area of your rom's post.
13. Go back into the main menu of your recovery and then choose the option to flash the file.
14. Choose the file that you have just loaded onto your storage.
15. Flash Google Apps if you need it.
16. Thank me if it worked
works like a charm:laugh:

Shut off your device. http://techerrata.com/file/twrp2/m7wls/openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-m7wls.img
Copy the file to your ADB folder on you PC. Plug the USB in.
Press and hold volume down and then press power. Keep holding volume down until a menu shows on your screen.
Use the volume rocker to select fastboot and press power to select fastboot.
Plug the device into your computer.
If you have the right drivers installed your phone screen will now say: FASTBOOT USB
Using a command prompt, type:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Your device will reboot. Use the volume rocker to select recovery and press power. You will now boot TWRP.

Here is the link to mini ADB (same as ADB) https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1S0LCuXCnnmSWh6NGJmSE1BUWc/edit?usp=sharing
Uninstall all the HTC stuff from you PC and install only this driver http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2155881&d=1375297569
Go to the path where you installed the Mini ADB and from there open command prompt.
Copy the desired recovery to this folder
Put your phone in FASTBOOT mode Finally insert this command in command prompt:
fastboot flash recovery ---.img
--- stands for the name of the file you choose)

How can I know that if you don't? Maybe you didn't backup at all or you just deleted it? You can sideload a ROM if you don't have one on your sd card.
And next time search and read before sending pm's, like everyone else has done. And at least use that thanks button, it's the minimum sign of appreciation towards smb who is helping you

Hi,
I did a backup. I think I recovered the wrong .img file so I wasnt able to see my backup file. Anyways. I went to cwm site and downloaded HTC One sprint recovery file and flashed it and Finally got the BACKUP file!
I've restored the backup and everything was working fine but i noticed that I lost my sim unlock and my phone is rebooting in every 1-2 mins.
Please accept my sincere apologies for PM'ing you. I'll make sure I dont do that again and I've thanked all your posts. You are really a superstar sir. Hats off to your advice and posts.
Sir, Kindly help me with resolving this issue. My phone is rebooting every 1-2 mins.. Any possible solutions for it?
You are the only HOPE for me :angel::angel:

I think the reason you are rebooting is because you flashed the wrong version of CWM.
I would backup anything important to your pc then run an RUU

Should I again flash the badboyz rom?
I remember while I recovered twrp recovery I did some kind of format/wipe. I guess because of that I lost my simunlock and possibly deleted something which is making it to do so.
Should I download badboyz rom again and flash it?

NO, follow BigDaddys advice and RUU back to stock. Then work your way back to other ROM choices, most likely after flashing a new and appropriate recovery.

Yes first try reflashing the ROM after full wipe. You shouldn't loose your SIM unlock no matter what you do so smth is messed maybe with your partitions
If it doesn't work you should run the ruu. It'll brink you to stock and would have to unlock bootloader, root, custom recovery, etc.

I guess I've loosed it as I bought the phone from ebay and it came unlocked for sure but when I restored the backup I saw no signal bars on my phone,
Anyways, I'm again downloading a fresh copy of the rom and will re-install it. I dont want to do RUU and and they again everything from scratch as that would be toooo time consuming.
Hope reflashing works. I'll keep this thread updated.
Tho, While restoring I found a error that .android_secure.img is not found.
I guess that is something I messed?
UPDATE:
I did a full wipe and re-installed the Bad Boyz Rom.
Now, I'm getting to the unlock screen.
When I scroll the lock screen the phone is taking me to HTC screen and then rebooting and I'm unable to do anything...
The phone is still restarting like before.

Sir, I've flashed this recovery image file only.
Yet reboot thing is happening.
Should I flash any other rom or something?

Try another ROM, maybe it's a bad download. Also try clearing sd card first(do a backup on your pc first) and don't forget to full wipe. I'd use the ruu as last resort

OTA_M7_UL_K44_SENSE55_MR_H3G_UK_4.20.771.17-3.62.771.3_release_3536491kghgv33dtz4m18n
i used the team win recovery to flash it and now my phone wont boot
i can get into the boot loader but im stuck in a loop
i dont seem to have team win anymore so get it and try another rom
i had originally used odin3 to get team win on
i have the device in fastboot usb but the pc wont see the phone to be able to use the original odin method

First off.. Odin is used for Samsung Firmware only..Do not use on a HTC One or any other make of phone..
Have you got the drivers for HTC..if not, get them from here..http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/
If you can access the bootloader and fastboot.. Post a fastboot getvar all minus your serial no and imei no.

Read te FAQ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2228274
first rename the twrp recovery to recovery
then enter the bootloader
connect to pc and open up a CMD window where your adb and fastboot commands are," shift and left mouse to open up CMD "
type fastboot devices. if a random serial no is returned your ok
put your recovery into the adb/fastboot folder and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once done
fastboot erase cache
reboot into bootloader and choose recovery
To restore the Nandroid backup follow these instructions at the top of the page http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-nandroid-downloads/
Good luck

Hi,
thanks for that
all appears to be going through ok
so this part was simple to do and looks ok
type fastboot devices. if a random serial no is returned your ok
put your recovery into the adb/fastboot folder and
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
once done
fastboot erase cache
reboot into bootloader and choose recovery
but nothing has changed
when i select recovery on the phone, it still goes back to the bootloader
ive attached a screenshot of the DOS Commands to make sure im following what your saying
(i know im being a pain!)

UNLOCKED bootloader
If you still have the OTA file you can extract from it the firmware.zip file and flash it after RELOCKING your bootloader.
You will get your OS back for starters and then you can proceed again with custom firmware flashing and Rom flashing.

hi, just keep getting the same result
straight back to bootloader
Right, seems our only options is flash a RUU or try a Guru reset.. Problem is hboot is 1.55. and your not S-Off.. Don't want to lock bootloader yet... will get back to you when I can.. Need to look into this more, Try private message nkk71.. He his much more knowledgeable than me and will probably help you resolve this

Hi there, sorry couldnt help last night, but i just read the thread in more detail which recovery are you trying to flash? Link please
The filesize doesn't look right to me!! (Post #8, sending 8866KB)
Please check MD5 on the download, to confirm it's not a corrupt download. If you're downloading from TWRP site, it doesn't play nice with download managers/some browsers, and you end up with a bad download.
Also, please use copy/paste for the command prompt outputs, reading screenshots is much harder. thanks

yep looks like a bad download, get TWRP:
2.6.3.3: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7
or 2.6.3.4: http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/m7ul
download: http://winmd5.com/ open the zip and run the exe then check the output of MD5 is against the one on the download site. once it verifies correctly:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.6.3.3-m7.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
-> enter recovery
