go inside the app to Recovery -> install zip from sdcard -> add 1 zip.. after that click 'add another' in the popup window .. just the zips you want. when you click install now you can choose whether to stay inside recovery after flashing or not
you need to enable 'advanced mode' for recovery in app settings

I did fallow ur instructions, and I noticed that after adding, synergysuperwipe.zip and adrenalineRom.zip, and check the options for factory reset wipe, it give me the options to flash now.. but then I have a POP out window with reboot manually or cancel.. so when reboot manually to recovery, it does the whole wiping blablabla, it flash the first file, looks like it boot, but stay in recovery.. but it doesn't flash the second file (the ROM). So when I look for the ROM file manually and flash it.. it does the whole process but doesn't do the boot to stay in recovery nor boot the ROM. Is that how it works or am doing something wrong?.. thanks for the help
El Demonio
This happened because that super wipe script will reboot your recovery once it's done... To prevent this you must edit the updater-script and remove this line:
Code:
run_program("/sbin/reboot", "recovery");Or download this edited version, Synergy_3Dvo_Superwipe.zip

When you buy any sort of device with storage, like a computer hard drive, a flash drive, or SD card, they give you an amount that the hard drive has before the manufacturer formats the drive. For instance, my computer hard drive is 500 GB but I can use somewhere between 450 and 470 GB of it only. My 16 GB class 10 SD card has had 14.90 GB available for use since the first day I put it in my phone.
Thanks for the help man.... is right... cuz i have 14.8G... is that i thought i should have like 15. something... but u right... now i remember ... thank you.. this was very helpful
Just installed. Looking great. Haven't installed anything yet. Anybody have a favorite theme? I'll figure out how to get them later

I like the beats audio one, because it fits my splash screen and boot/downanimations (I use the red bootanimation by binux-project right now)
Ah, my bad. You could always have a zip that wipes them set up to flash right after the first zip. Would be a cool little checkbox for it to wipe after too.

Hi, I'm a n00b...
Where are the backups stored on the sdcard?
I looked (thought someone ahd answered already) but couldn't find :/
EDIT: also, is there any chance in the next update you could dim the lights in the capacitive LEDs? They are WICKED bright at nighttime...

- touchscreen only
- extremely fast
- much more useful features than the already feature-packed 4EXT Recovery Classic v2.2.7 RC5 (see 2nd post)
- 4EXT SmartFlash for s-on devices
- optionally save space by configuring recovery to exclude /cache from backups
- you can configure recovery to save even more space by excluding dalvik-cache from backups
- calculates real space needed to complete a backup to save you from troubles
- detects your local time zone
- -> correct time is used for backups you start from within recovery

- scrollable texthistory (drag down the statusbar)
- built-in interactivity (yes/no questions) for updater-scripts
- built-in screenshot functionality
- extensive theming capabilities!
- nearly ALL YOU SEE is changeable.
- "worker bar": create your own custom animations, there are (nearly) no limits! Use any shapes/sizes/animations et.c.
- extra low cpu needed for that: absolutely no negative impact on backup/restore speed.
- async UI rendering for optimal performance for the "heavy tasks" like backup/restore
- backups even faster than with usual recoveries.
- .. explore the new interface to see more
- includes all features of 4EXT Recovery Classic
About 4EXT SmartFlash
This is a new feature that allows recovery to flash your boot partition just like as if you were s-off.
Credits and thanks to Team Win and Dees_Troy for their commitment to the community, for their amazing idea with the Dumlock and for extra contacting me only to offer that I may use it.
You guys really rock!
SmartFlash is a different approach to Team Win's HTC Dumlock
- Just use your recovery like you would if your device were s-off
- No preparations needed, other than telling the recovery that your device is actually s-on
- This is done when you install recovery and answer the question that you are s-on with "yes"
- You can also change that setting later on via RecoveryControl -> Recovery settings, or by editing 4ext.prop manually
- Recovery will autodetect any changes done to "boot" and only attempt to flash your boot partition if it was really changed
- This even reduces unnecessary writes to "boot" when for example a new rom uses the same kernel as your previous one
- Before updating your boot partition, recovery will always backup your boot partition to your sdcard just for the case something goes wrong
- Only the 4 latest boot images are stored, older ones will be removed automatically to prevent taking up too much space.
- In case you want to enable or disable that feature temporarily, you can use a switch inside the tools menu in recovery
How it works:
- Recovery will detect any requested changes for your boot partition
- When you reboot out of recovery, it will prepare updating your boot partition on next rom start
- This means that your boot partition will be updated when you see the HTC Splash screen, followed by 1 reboot
- So basically the only visible difference to when you are s-off is one additional reboot, which takes only a few seconds.
- Recovery is NOT flashed to boot and boot is also only flashed once/update
- Recovery will only attempt to flash your boot partition if it was really changed
Limitations:
- Radio and firmware:
Usually those are flashed via bootloader flashable zips or fastboot even on devices that are s-off.
But in case you wondered: this does not enable you to flash new firmwares or radio images via recovery.
- SmartFlash needs a working kernel to be able to upgrade your boot partition.
It cannot work in case your current kernel is incompatible with your device/hboot or has been wiped outside of recovery.
For example you cannot erase boot via fastboot and then start up recovery to update your kernel.
However you don't need a working rom to use it.
The only requirement is that your current kernel is able to start (this happens before you see the boot animation) and that your system partition is mountable.
INFO:
For App and Rom devs:
Make use of the Recovery Interface Api provided by the (free and paid) 4EXT Recovery Apps to push updates/mods/addons for auto installation.
Very easy to use and to integrate into Apps or even shell scripts.
Please check 3rd post.
Info regarding 4EXT Recovery Touch and its yesno feature, or any interactive installer scripts you might already use, please see 3rd post.
Download
- All downloads are available through 4EXT Recovery Updater.
- It's free, no ads, no tracking, no nothing, don't worry
- ..and of course via 4EXT Recovery Control
- This ensures that your downloads are ok by automatically verifying md5sums and that known issues and changelogs are easily accessible
- When you install or download a recovery via the app it makes sure that your recovery config is correctly set up.
- Configure 4EXT Recovery comfortably without the need to modify config files.
- It allows to automatically setup your time zone for recovery.
- You can use it to get notified about updates regarding your recovery version
- You can configure it to get notified in case any critical bugs have been discovered of the recovery version you currently have installed.
- It allows me to update known issues/changelogs immediately and to quickly pull a newly released version if there were reports about critical bugs
- You can also use it to just download a recovery.zip containing the image. The download will be automatically verified for correct md5sums!
By default the app also saves the recovery.img you flash on your sdcard,
so you can use it to flash the recovery via fastboot in case you need to do that one day.
If you somehow lost those files, there's a direct download for a version you can flash via fastboot.

4EXT Recovery Control
- Free version: Recovery Updater
- Fully featured: Recovery Control
For a list of its many features, visit www.4ext.net
Some examples :
- Very easy to use, but also includes an extensive set of features available via "advanced mode"
- Comfortable configure all settings of recovery
- Calculate the space needed to create a new full or advanced backup
So you can make sure the backup will succeed before even rebooting into recovery.
Advanced Backups: While you are selecting / deselecting partitions, it will display and update the currently needed space to complete that custom backup set. - Identifies and adds your romname so you don't need to type so much when chosing a meaningful name for your backup
- When you restore a backup, the app does the md5sum check instead of the recovery
This ensures that you know whether the restore process will succeed before even rebooting into recovery - Flash as many zip files you want in one go
- Automatically calculate and display the md5sums of all zip files you are going to flash
- Check your backups' health to ensure they will restore later when you need them, by verifying their md5sums!
- Optionally, but highly not recommended:
If md5sums don't match but you really need that backup badly, you might want to restore it anyway.
You can you this app to fix the md5sums of a given backup - As an example, the following is possible to do in just one session:
Restore a backup, set to create a backup / advanced backup before the restore,
format all partitions with a file system of your choice before the restore process starts,
flash additional zip files afterwards, fix permissions and select to stay inside recovery or to reboot automatically once all actions are complete. - Much, much more! See www.4ext.net

How to make use of 4EXT Recovery Touch from within updater-scripts:
Since Beta 1.0.0.3 Beta 4 you can do the following:
- identify whether the user is running 4EXT Recovery Touch or not (to use or not to use the following commands)
- make use of the native yes/no dialogue (confirm / cancel buttons)
- prevent recovery from redrawing the screen ( in case you need to use your own 3rd party interactive binary )
To identify 4EXT Recovery Touch:
Code:if getprop("ext.edition") == "ng" then <your code> endif;
To use the native confirm dialogues:
Code:ui_print("4ext: show_yesno"); # <-- recovery will pause your script and display "yes / no" buttons. run_program("/sbin/sleep", "2"); # <-- for safety since the above is executed asynchronous #check the return value by calling: if getprop("ext.confirm") == "yes" then <yourcode> endif;
To prevent recovery from redrawing the screen ( if you want to use an external binary that needs to occupy the screen and get the focus )
Code:ui_print("4ext: disable_scrn_update"); # don't forget to enable it again after your yesno binary or graphical installer is finished, by calling: ui_print("4ext: enable_scrn_update"); #otherwise the recovery will appear to be frozen as it won't update the screen anymore.10Okay.. the new feature is finally there
Big thanks to Glacierguy and Dimebagdan65 for hours of testing
And to Korenisko, ThePirato, craacK, Patrics83, Blast0id, Lrod0175 and Boss2212
