i think you have to update your recovery version

i think you have to update your recovery version

I have 4EXT v1.0.0.5 RC3. Do I need newer? If I do, link for download would be nice.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
You are a gift from heaven on my 5 hour work.
I would like to suggest to -Asskicker- that he puts this into guide.
Latest recovery is a must.

In the recovery thread (a quick search would have brought you there) a free app is available to directly update the RECOVERY from your phone. Check it out
Maybe OP should add a link to the recovery thread. :good:

You can use 4ext recovery updater app, it's free to download from 4ext.net

Your guide is great, for a noob its a great place to start. I followed the steps and everything worked fine.

I'm coming from the EVO 3D forums, so I'm a noob here.
With the EVO 3D it was mandatory to s-off before flashing JB and KK roms cause hboot had to be downgraded to get these roms properly installed.
If I have the latest ICS OTA update installed, will firmware and hboot work together with kk roms (of course using smartflash function of 4ext)?
I searched for prerequisites on the aktual kk roms in the dev forum (like it was for the EVO 3D), but there's nothing mentioned.
Thanx in advance.

if you have 3.32 or 3.33 firmware version then go ahead for kk roms
make first a nandroid from recovery just in case
use the format all partitions except sdcard option from 4ext
of course enable smartflash
flash the rom

Any suggestions for updates to the thread?

Thanks again everyone for helping out, you're all amazing.

Should I be worries if "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" takes long? I'm on HBoot 1.27 unlocked and rooted

how long does it take?

 

[smarino100]

how long does it take?

it ended up just staying in the white fastboot screen after I did that. Not sure what I did wrong.
