Assuming you mean that you've installed the 4ext app, open the app and choose the option to install.

Oops, thanked you. I don't remember exactly what it's called. This is the 4ext updater app we're talking about, right? I know it's in there somewhere.

and that too, look the attached image, i have that build, so i just wanna change my recovery to 4ext

I can't read the first picture. Tap on the RC9 build of the second picture. That should download and install the recovery. You don't have that build. If you did it would be colored yellow.

Click on it. The app will do everything.
Edit: it seems that you already have it installed. Reboot into recovery.

i only mentioned the fastboot flash cause that's the only way that app even worked for me, you first need a base 4ext recovery, (the one that can be flashed via the .img) and then update it via the app.

[Q] Seriously cannot root my EVO 4g

Hey Guys. I've been trying to root my Evo 4g for over a year and I am either messing up horribly or my EVO is just unrootable. I attempted flash/root it with revolutionary, but all I have is S-OFF.
The H-Boot Screen reads:
-Revolutionary-
SUPERSONIC EVT3 SHIP S-OFF
HBOOT-6.16.1002
MICROP-041f
TOUCH PANEL-ATMEL224_16ab
RADIO-2.15.00.12.19
MAR 8 2011, 17:02:15
I really hope I can get some help, I've wanted this badly for over a year.
If you need any other information, please just ask.
Dude! You are already rooted! Revolutionary flashes a recovery for you, so all you need to do is flash a rom if you want.
Hit the thanks button if i have helped you in any way today !
+1 The Revolutionary tag means your bootloaded is unlocked and you have s off. Your good to go. Just do a Nandroid Backup. And then flash away.
But when I try to flash a rom over, it never works. Not even superuser works. I downloaded Terminal Emulator and typed su, but it doesnt do anything.

Do u have a custom recovery?
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
First, you probably need a custom recovery. Search for "amon ra evo" or "clockwork mod evo" follow the instructions on their page and that will get you a custom recovery. Do a "nandroid backup" so you have a backup of your original os
Second, look up SU evo, download the zip, and flash that in your recovery. That will give you su.
PS if you don't understand any or all of these terms, look up xda rooting for dummies
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
I tried all the steps on the recoveries, and they are all saying that I do not have access to superuser. Terminal emulator does not respond positive to su either.

Maybe a bad download, try this one...this is the one that I have used successfully...also, what recovery are you using right now? I have had issues with clockworkmod on occassion that has aborted installation of zips...
superuser http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30295084/CM9/Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed.zip
amon ra recovery that you flash through bootloader, just rename zip to PC36IMG http://dl.dropbox.com/u/30295084/CM9/PC36IMG_ra-supersonic-4.3-smelkus-ics.zip
So try recovery first, then try flashing the superuser zip I linked above and see where that gets you.

Either open up a file manager on your phone or mount to computer to look at the name if you added zip, delete that...I am stumped as to what else the issue would be...
This might be overkill, but you might want to ruu back to stock...redo revolutioanry and after you type yes download clockworkmod recovery in revolutioanry...boot into recovery, flash superuser zip and then boot the phone...it should work for you, but also should be working now.

Jellybean root

ok you need to have clockworkmod installed...
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(insecure boot.img)
unzip boot.img.zip, boot to bootloader and
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
or flash JRN84D-insecure-boot.zip from recovery
-put the CWM-SuperSU-v0.92-mod.zip on your sd and flash
done. :good:
if you have problems...
flash Koush's Jellybean repack (IMM76I OR IMM30D) http://d-h.st/Gkh
If recovery isn't sticking for you, delete recovery-from-boot.p in /system
I can do this for the other superuser as well...this is chainfire's super su
Thanks. May I clarify if I have to do both to get root or either one?

Worked like a charm, I've got clockwork back after a little adb action and now I'm restoring some apps with titanium. Can't wait to see the development on this. Just think I almost sold this phone and bought a Galaxy S3 today, may wait a week or so now.

Is there a reason why my CWM won't stick? I fastboot a new one in and right after, I can access CWM from the bootloader menu if I don't boot into the OS yet. However, once I do boot into the OS and use ADB to reboot into recovery, it goes back to the Android with the red triangle.
What am I doing wrong? I'm usually pretty good with this stuff.

still doesn't work, do you think you can try the other SuperUser app? D:

We need to know which stock system version you had to get the right kernel ideally or if you have a custom recovery you could go and flash a new rom which will have a kernel to go with it (depending on your hboot version).

I could be wrong but I think it charges when in custom recovery but not at the bootloader? Also you can mount the internal storage to your pc from custom recovery to copy a zip onto the phone.

Flash this recovery, your battery does NOT charge in that old recovery

Then flash the boot.img from the cm10 rom. Its inside the zip
Then you make a full wipe in the recovery and install cm10 and right after that the gapps file (all can be downloaded from the cm10 thread)
Reboot and done
Edit :
All flashing can be done with the toolkit

You can put files into the storage by booting into cwm recovery, selecting mount USB storage, and connecting it to your computer.
For how to flash ROMs, look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069904 second post.
Battery too low ?
Oke put this file inside the fastboot folder on the pc (you have the fastboot.exe file, should be in one of the folders in the toolkit dir)
http://db.tt/aLqeTpPO
Execute this file with the phone in the bootloader ! It will continuing to loop your bootloader and charge it little by little. Let it run for about 30 min and then flash again the recovery. The recovery name must be just "recovery.img" so rename it if needed

So after I've done that, How would I flash the rom, I can't mount sd storage through cwm because it says " uns error, no such file or directory" I formatted the usb earlier, could it have something to do with that? Is there any other way?
Thats because i told you to flash the new recovery first from the link i gave you. That one is able to mount the sdcard so you can copy the rom + gapps to it

[Q] Need help ASAP! CWM problem.

Hey guys, this is my first post on XDA forum.
So I've recently bought a nexus 7, I used wugfresh's root kit to root my nexus but then it didn't work... so I've tired the auto root by chainfire. Then I was able to get root. So then I went to playstore and downloaded rom manager to install CWM. I went to recovery then I get this message:
E : Cant mount /cache/recovery/log etc.....
I've tried everything I can do such as researching, changing recovery, and watching a youtube tutorial but nothing helped.
Thanks.
I would start over from scratch using fastboot to flash a factory image and stock recovery. If your bootloader isn't unlocked already, unlock it.

DO NOT USE TOOLKITS. They cause too many problems. Learn to do things the proper way using fastboot. I agree with the poster above, you should flash a factory image to start over. Download the system image from here- https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
You need to unlock your bootloader-
Code:
fastboot OEM unlock
Then run the flash_all.bat. That will automatically wipe and reflash everything to get you back to square one.
Then you need to flash TWRP (don't use CWM)
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img
TWRP will automatically prompt you to flash SU when you reboot. Choose yes, reboot, then install SuperSU from play store, update the SU binaries, reboot again, and then you're done.

I highly advise you start from scratch so do what I told you to do in my last post. I promise if you do it the correct way (ie. without using toolkits) it will work.

It's in the file that you should have downloaded from the link I posted in my first post. The instructions are at that link as well.

Hey I tried the following:
oem lock
oem unlock
flash-all/flash_all.bat
flash recovery(TWRP)
but then when I reboot into TWRP I don't get a message saying you to install SU... And when I go to 'Install' in TWRP I don't see any internal storage available(0mb). With this error I cant install any roms which is boring.

Hmm... Can you even boot into the stock ROM at this point? Try formatting /data (done in TWRP). Did the system image flash successfully?

Well then I don't know what to tell you at this point. I know Lollipop has been causing issues for some N7 users, but I also know that wugs toolkit causes problems too so honestly I'm not sure what the root of your issue is. I think someone with more experience with Lollipop is gonna have to chime in here, I'm still on 4.4.4 on all of my devices. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

No, you can only flash custom ROMs if you have a custom recovery.
