Here is a video of how to install ext 4 recovery.
I hope you find this helpful!
This is for a rooted android device only!
The first thing that you need to do is go to http://4ext.net/ and download the 4 ext application. Or if you
want the paid version, that is available in the android market.
If you downloaded it from online make sure to move the file
over to your sd card, unless of coarse you downloaded it from your phone. Next
you have to make sure that you have unknown sources checked on. To do this go
to settings-> applications then check the unknown sources box. You don’t have
to worry about the message that pops up, just click ok. What it is trying to
say is just be careful what you install. I assure you that this application is
completely fine to install.
Ok next I hope you have a file explorer installed. You can
use any type of file explorer they all do the same thing. OK so you have to
open the file explorer and go to wherever you put the folder. I downloaded it
from my phone so it is in the download folder. Click on the file and click
install then open it. You will have to accept their “disclaimer” and click ok
to a message. Next click online install |upgrade and allow the app super user
permissions. Then allow it to connect to their site to get upgrades and data.
Then read and click ok to the next 5 messages that pop up.
Now you will have to click online install | upgrade again.
It will try to detect which type of phone you have. In my case it is the g2 so
it says “Detected: HTC Desire Z /G2 is that correct? Don’t proceed otherwise!”
. The message will be whatever phone you have. You can then choose what type of
4ext recovery you want with the tabs on the top of the screen. You can choose
between the touch or the classic. The classic is more likely to work. Just something to keep in mind as the touch
recovery is still in beta. Although It works rather well without any type of
problem. I like the touch recovery so I
pick the touch tab and it will give you a warning if you click it saying that
it is in beta. Just choose whichever one you want. The upcoming method is the
same. I recommend clicking the latest version. When you click it, it will talk about the
features included in the recovery. You can also see the known issues if you
would like. Next you have to click install. Don’t click download as that is for
a different method. It will then download and install the recovery for you. Click
ok on the following message. And everything Is all set up! You are ready to
flash some roms!!!
Now you will see that there is a power menu. Click on that.
This may not work for your device. If it doesn’t you will have to read the next
paragraph. Ok now you will have the option of rebooting into recovery,
bootloader, reboot, hot reboot and power off. You will want to click recovery,
it should be there automatically. Then click “Do it!”. It will reboot into
recovery and you should see your new recovery!
This next part is only for the g2 phone. If you have a
different phone you will have to google how to reboot into recovery for your
phone.
If that didn’t work you will have to reboot into recovery
manually by first turning off your phone. Then holding volume down and power.
Hold it until you reach a white screen with skateboarding androids at the
bottom. Once you reach that screen press volume down so that the word recovery
is highlighted and press power. Then you
will be booted into your new recovery! Congratulations!
