[UPDATED] 4eXT Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC9 as PB99IMG

Updated to the latest version, 4ext Recovery Touch v1.0.0.5 RC9
EDIT: No need to rename it now, just download and put on sdcard.
Edited because some people could not get it to work because renaming it was the hardest thing in the world :banghead:
All credits to Madmaxx for this great recovery....
Download PB99IMG.zip and put it on the root of ur sdcard (not in a folder) and then with ur phone off hold volume down + power. ur bootloader will look for the PB99IMG then ask u if u want to update recovery, volume up for YES, it will then ask you to reboot device, volume down for NO. Once its finished u now have 4ext recovery and just use volume buttons to navigate to recovery then press power button to enter recovery. I have tried it myself and it works, its the exact same method to install as Alpharev's hboots via PB99IMG.
Dont forget u must be S-OFF lol
Dont forget to delete it off sdcard once ur done or u will get asked to update everytime u enter bootloader

(Also u can extract the PB99IMG.zip file and flash recovery.img via fastboot commands or android flasher)

phone asks to update, i have to start it with vol-up, but i have a little problem: my vol up button doesn't work, is there any other solution to start?

Hi guys. I tried all the instructions, but the problem persists .... I have PVT4 S OFF .... zip file will be installed through the bootloader but nothing changed and the desire to restart the htc logo .....

not sure what ya mean. the phone shouldnt boot unless u pressed reboot. once u have PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard, hold volume down + power then bootloader will find PB99IMG and ask update recovery? volume up for yes, once its complete it asks u reboot device? press volume down for no then u will stay in bootloader menu and then press volume down to navigate to recovery n press power button to enter recovery. simples
i have tried it myself coz i wouldnt post it otherwise

i unpacked your zip file and installed the recovery.img via fastboot commands, but this didn't work, i still have the bootloops!

When in recovery did u do a full wipe? then reinstall the rom? Also make sure u have partitioned ur sdcard to whatever the dev recommends and have the correct hboot for that rom aswell

I've got a problem which is similiar,
The Desire was rooted once through alpharev, custom romed and used for a couple of days. Afterwards the rom was crap and the user decided to get back to 2.2. I don't know how the user installed 2.2 stock froyo but it was up and running again.
Now Root is wanted again, so i installed CWM 5.0.2.0 through fastboot, i can access CWM but as i select a feature like for example "wipe data/factory reset" or "reboot system now" only the background of CWM persists and the blue menu vanishes.
Returning to normal mode just through pulling the battery.

Do i need to install another recovery like CWM Touch oder 4Ext? Any conclusion to this problem?

I would recommend 4ext recovery personaly. Anyway download the PB99IMG and rename it to just "PB99IMG.zip" put the PB99IMG.zip on ur sdcard, boot into bootloader (vol down + power) and it will ask to update recovery, vol up for YES then it will ask to reboot device, vol down for NO. Then boot into recovery. Check if the rom is on ur sdcard by selecting install from sdcard. Let me know what it says.
Or u can download a new rom of ur choice by searching Desire Android Development, if u do choose a new rom let me know what coz ul more than likely have to partition sdcard and change hboots.

Thank u for the quick reply. I'll try 4ext instead of cwm, but iam a little bit confused what the difference may be.
Iam familiar with rom installing and sdcard formatting with ext partition for more space, i just cannot install any rom.zip because the recovery doesn't let me access its features.

Cool so u know what ur doing, just flash 4ext recovery, its touch screen and has way more options and its 99.9% better at partitioning ur sdcard than CWM lol, its just better.

I'll give it a try. Sdcard is already formatted through gparted on Ubuntu.
Just need the option to wipe data/factory reset the current rom and install the rom i want to use
Should i use your version of 4ext or the newest one for desire gsm?

Fastboot & Windows 8

Hi all,
hit my first problem with Windows 8.
I wanted to test a JB rom on my Desire but I have to change my HBOOT (I have Data++ atm, need stock).
My problem is that I cannot seem to get any of the fastboot usb drivers to install on my Windows 8 RTM to enable Revolutionary to work.
Anyone able to offer any help?

What recovery do u have?
Have u tried the PB99IMG method of changing hboots? Basicaly download the hboot from alpharev (PB99IMG) Rename it to just PB99IMG.zip, put it on ur sdcard... Put the JB rom there too.. and then boot into bootloader (volume down + power) and bootloader will ask to update bootloader, volume up for yes.. it will then ask u to reboot? Volume down for no.. then boot into recovery,(if 4ext) format all partitions except sdcard then reboot recovery and u can then install the rom.

I'm using CWM at the moment, haven't changed or updated it for months since I last installed Marange ICS Miui pretty much when it first came out.
I have done the fastboot method before, but I kinda like the PB99IMG way, sounds a lot cleaner. Many thanks for the help.
PS: for anyone else having the same problem, it worked!

[Q] Hboot , No Recovery

Hey ,
I have a HTC desire ( Bravo PVT1 Ship S-OFF, HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary)) and it wont run recovery.
Reflashing Recovery.img works with fastboot, but still wont run recovery , it hangs on the HTC screen.
What started the problems : First i rooted the phone and installed a ROM with clockworkrecovery , and it was working well, But I wanted to expand the memory , so i followed these instructions to install 4EXT recovery:
Like posted above, never use minitool, it creates bad partitions. If ur s-off then flash 4ext recovery via fastboot commands or use the 4ext recovery PB99IMG in my sig, instructions r there. Once 4ext recovery is installed on ur phone u need to boot recovery, select it in the bootloader menu (if phone off, volume down + power then select recovery) once in recovery, goto tools, partition sdcard, remove all partitions and start from scratch then choose
1024
Skip
Skip
Then choose ext4
Once thats done, goto main menu then wipe/format and format all partitions except sdcard, after that wipe dalvik. Connect ur phone (usb) and select toggle usb in menu, send the rom to ur sdcard (from computer) then install from sdcard then reboot.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything worked except for sending the rom to the SDcard, it gave me USB Brick error and it asked me to fix it, I accepted and it rebooted automatically, and since then it wont go into recovery anymore.
What have i tried to do to fix it :
• Erase recovery and re-flashed a new recovery with fastboot (both 4EXT recovery and clockwork recovery ), Still hangs on HTC screen when selecting Recovery
• Put PB99IMG.zip on SDCard , it says that no image or wrong image.
I've searched and tried it all , except for installing stock RUU , but ive read thats a last resort . So before trying that I thought I ask the people that helped me so much already.

Does ur phone boot up? If so download the 4ext recovery updater apk in my sig and try flashing recovery using the app. Thats what u should of done in the first place. PB99IMG is kinda last option
Sent from my HTC Desire

No, it doesnt have a Rom , that's because I erased everything , like the text above says . I got stuck when I wanted to send the Rom to the SDcard .
But now I got really stuck .
It won't load any PB99IMG , that means I won't be able to go back to the original RUU ... I can use fastboot. Is there a way to flash it through fastboot ?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda app-developers app

I'm no expert, but did flash 4ext recovery from fastboot the other day... So Yes, that's possible
(edit: guess I misread your q. Dunno about flashing RUU through fastboot)

Ok... I am completely stuck...
I cant load any PB99IMG
What might be the reason that it wont recognize my PB99IMG?
Is there any way to flash things back to stock without using PB99IMG?
or Flash Hboot ?
Please anyone ...

ok... I want to go back to original RUU so i downloaded the PB99IMG_downgrade , but i cant downgrade it through PB99IMG.zip since it wont load...
Is flashing the Hboot.img inside of the PB99IMG_downgrade.zip through fastboot an option?( fastboot flash hboot c:\hboot.img )
or will I brick it even further?

Go to bootloader and:
#1 "fastboot erase recovery"

#3 "fastboot erase cache"

Now reboot to recovery, it must work or you have wrong recovery img

Should I try to flash the Hboot image , so I can run orginal RUU , and then root it again ?

Yes you can do that, flash downgrader.img ( http://alpharev.nl/bravo_downgrade.img ) and run RUU.
You're stock hboot right?

My Hboot was HBoot 6.93.1002 , Revolutionary
and after the downgrader turned into alpharev 6.93.9999
Should I be able to run the RUU update now?
And do I have to be in bootloader while I execute the RUU, since thats my only option ?

Yes you should be able, and yes from bootloader.

Maybe u coulda tried another recovery.img first, like CWM, just to be sure.

Ive tried CWM and 4ext recovery both , downloaded it again , just to be sure it isnt corrupted, but still get the same issue.
Now I am going to try to install RUU , after the battery is charged over 50%
Thank you guys , for replying and helping me . I Hope that after the RUU install , I can go back to do the fun stuff again !

New problem....
I Tried to install the RUU
Everything looked fine , until it gave me bootloader version error ,its flashed everything except for the ROM.
and it booted in Hboot , and it showed :
Bravo UNKNOWN SHIP S-ON
HBOOT- 0.75.0000
MICROP 031D
TOUCH PANEL - SYNT0101
RADIO 4.05.00.11
MAR 5 2010 21.12.15
I didnt have a clue what to do next, so i tried to run the newest RUU but gave me the same error (bootloader version is higher) untill I came across a topic on a other forum with someone with the same problem
later he said:
EVERYTHING SOLVED: I used a downgrade utility to restore the (broken) BootLoader and it also installed the stock HTC ROM
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But the downgrade utility wont detect my device (is my USB DEBUGGING disabled? )
Can anyone help me , I REALLY dont know what to do!

I am in a loop of problems
I cant run RUU because my ROM image is 3.14.something , so I cant install an older version..
I cant flash Misc because of my S-ON status
I cant enter recovery...
So my questions are :
Is there a way to flash MISC to an older one so I can run RUU?
Is there a way to root it, without entering a ROM ( I know there is alpharev ISO , but it wont recognize my Desire...)
HELP?

How can I fix my desire - no Recovery but working fastboot

Hi guys,
I have a HTC Desire, S-ON () with HBOOT 1.02.0001 which will boot into fastboot but won't enter recovery. When I try to boot into recovery, it shows the HTC logo on white but never progresses and I have to pull the battery. On a normal boot, the device will vibrate 7 times in succession and never makes it past the HTC logo.
I was trying to fix up the device using an RUU but it failed mid-way through and now I'm wondering what my options are, as I only have fastboot working.
If I can get a working recovery then I can flash a ROM from there.
Thanks in advance

[Q] [HELP] Performed wipe, accidentally rebooted before flash. Bricked?

Running CWM 3.x.x from DHD release
Downloaded CWM 5.8.1.5 zip and 'flash' using install zip util on 3.x but when I went back into recovery it was still 3.x
Didn't realise it was 3.x so I wiped then full wiped etc, then realised 3.x so ran 5.x install again
Decided to reboot to make sure 5.x had installed BUT I hadn't yet flashed a ROM on!
Stuck at HTC screen, have a broken 'DOWN' button so I can't boot into recovery and I can't get into Android and reboot to recovery for obvious reason
Please please can someone help? I just need to get back into recovery to flash.
If it helps, I'm on OS X but I have access to Windows and iirc Ubuntu
Danke

So to clarify. You tried to flash the CWM5 recovery.zip from CWM3 recovery, but it failed? You could try to fastboot flash the recovery.img from your computer. Also, are you S-On or S-Off?
To reboot into recovery connect to computer and from cmd type "adb reboot bootloader."

My volume down button is broken so I can't access anything on the device. Yes I tried to flash 5 from 3 and it failed.
I'm fairly sure I'm s off. When I rooted etc I used the phone only method so I didn't need adb. Will I need to download anything?

Take a look at your bootloader info. If it show 'ace pvt __ s-off, means that it is s-off.
Fail in flashing rom sometimes hinting that there is something wrong with hardware. Unfortunately our hardware expert is no longer here.
