4EXTRecovery - HTC Incredible S
Hey, not sure if I'm in the right place or if i should be starting new thread. Please forgive me I'm new to this.
I tried flashing 4EXTRecovery to my Inc s all goes well and get told it has been flashed. When I enter recovery it still shows up as cwm recovery and no sighn of change. Not sure if I've done anything wrong. I'm rooted with unlocked boot loader with s-on maybe I need to be s-off.
Thanks

Try flashing the recovery from recovery
Get the recovery in img format from the 4ext site, put it in your fastboot folder and open a command window there, type "fastboot flash recovery (name).img
Okay I will have access to a PC in an 1 hour will let you know. Thanks :thumbup:

Hey mate, welcome to xda
Easiest way is to download the free updater from here:
http://4ext.net/
Then install it and select which recovery you want.
Or get the recovery .img and flash it via fastboot
But its super easy to just do it via the app I am not sure if you can on the unlocked bl though
Thanks buddy....:thumbup:

I installed 4ext touch recovery successfully but I faced a problem when i make a nandroid backup it makes the backup in a very short period of time so I am not sure if I can restore the backup I made
Because the backup file size is small
PS when I was on cwm, I used to face the people where the backup file size go over 900 Mbs or it says no enough space for backup
Any help would be appreciated

I will check again and tell u

[Q] Primadonna/AuraSense/Quattro
I got the Problem that Primadonna/NiksAuraSense/Quattro doesnt boots for me. Its not because the Oc Value. Not because of Wipe cause I wiped everything. Also the Sd card too. Everything exept the Rom.zip It must be something from the boot.img (reflash it via fastboot doesn't workes too). I think It's the Virtuous Oc but idk how to disable it. My Phone have the Blackrose HBoot 2.00 S-Off, 14_M Radio, latest 4ext Touch Recovery and I got it shipped with Hboot 2.00 too but unlocked via Htcdev, downgraded and so on. Anybody can help me?

First boot takes couple of mins but I assume he's flashed before. There must be a logical reason. Is it possible to flash a different kernel to begin with other than the one in the boot.img? Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
I wait about 15 min but just a annoying black screen. I dont know which other kernel to Flash bcos he wrote the Kernel completely self :s Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
Have you tried to use "fastboot flash boot boot.IMG" via computer? If this method work, please flash the hboot back to eng for a better result. Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA

I believe tiatmat and ice cold kernels should work basically any ICS ones. Got nothing to lose by trying one of them I suppose? Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Alright, I try it right now with the latest tiamat for ics. Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium Edit: It boots, but System not responding, touchscreen not respondig, stucked ob this error. But before it does "optimize Applications", 195 of them.. Edit2: Let it Boot with the latest Tiamat, pull Battery out and in, flash boot.img from Rom via fastboot and trying to let it boot againt doesnt works. It dont boots.
I'm literally all out of ideas then. Sorry Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium
Boot Master Pro or Lite
Has any one tried using this app with their Inc S? How did it go? I've installed it, loaded 3 roms (2 install from zip and 1 nandroid backup) and can't get any to boot. They all get stuck at the Splash screen. I'm unlocked, S off, using Blackrose and have never had an issue installing those roms before. Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
I had it, but just for two rom. Do you selected install boot.IMG with? Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
I just followed the on screen prompts. Install zip, so I then select the zip I wanted. And when I try to boot to that rom it does nothing. Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
A reason could be the blackrose hboot with the lip partition.. Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
Do you know of any way to get it to work? Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda premium
For me it looks like ics is too unstable for that, it doesn't run on my device flawlessly. You could go back to a non Blackrose HBoot, flash a Rom who don't need blackrose and try it again Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app

Oudhs recovery for HTC /HTC one ?!
Was wondering if any one who is familiar with oudhs recovery ,would know if it's only a Samsung thing or also an option for HTC one. Wasn't sure if it is true .. I googled and looked came up short . I'm guessing we just have standard cwm and twrp Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

Click to collapse BlackRose is a modified Bootloader for IncS that has S-Off enabled and supports the /Lib partition that was introduced in GB 2.3.5 and was carried over to ICS 4.0,4.

Is it necessary? I want to jast root & unlock the phone to install cyanogenmod 10.1 on any stable rom. Sent from my HTC Incredible S using xda app-developers app
Yes you can, but however you having unlocked your Inc. S with S - On, you will have to boot your boot.img. file manually, Or u will be stuck with the HTC splash screen for hours. Just flash the boot file from the ROM you download :thumbup: Sent from my Incredible S
