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

What does it say when you back up, and how big are your backups? Mine are all about 900mb, on 4EXT
I will check again and tell u

Mine back up @ 700mb + back up try restoring one, that way it will tell you if it works

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.

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.

A reason could be the blackrose hboot with the lip partition..

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

Am on latest trickdroid rom but every time I go to flash something in recovery it's freezes can anyone solve this for me
Thanks
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
It's an aroma issue.
With all rom and all mod recovery will freeze...
It's a binary issue i think.
However, with the latest CWM some people don't have freeze, other yes...

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

What differs if from cwm and twrp?

I found it to be in my opinion nice to use on my old Samsung ... It had swipe gesture and rainbow mode.. it's just like cwm moreless but has gestures.
We dont have cwm touch available in Rom manager yet , not sure if it's available to flash in adb
