Cm 9 and ms2ginger don't work in 2nd system with cm10 in nand for me
[Defy Android Development] aribis:
Love you m11kkaa

m11kkaa...love you brother...Defy multiboot is back!

Once you gave us the freedom of taste with different ROM on single cell we could not have gone back to the stone age without a whimper!!

Thanks again for making Defy exciting once again!
[Defy Android Development] duo64:
Thanks for the new version!

:good: m11kkaa!

I can test again CM9 and CM10 on my Froyo!
[Defy Android Development] przemhb:
Will I be able to boot my stock Froyo from flash (nand) after installing the new Multiboot v0.8?
[Defy Android Development] duo64:
I have Moto_Version.3.4.179.2.MB525.Retail.en.CE

Installed:

SuperOneClick

SuperUser

Defy 2ndInit 1.9

bootmenu_CWM5

defy_multiboot_v0.5.5 - with this version I created fsimages folder in sdcard, and booted with 2nd-boot menu item.

(I had 2 fsimages folders in real - fsimages.cm9 and fsimages.cm10 and renamed the curently used back to fsimages.)

Now I have installed touchbootmenuV2.0beta_moltibootV0.8-20120829-signed.zip into Stable with CWM Recovery.

created CM10 and CM9 folders for images under /sdcard/multiboot.

Booted into 2nd-system. Asked to choose between CM10 and CM9. Both can be tested.

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

Of course I have moved the image files to the new folders:)
[Defy Android Development] przemhb:
I'm pleased to hear that! It proves one can have working multiboot with stock CE Froyo ROM. I'm about to setup multiboot to test CM9 and CM10 and still having my stable Froyo as a base.
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
I don't have latest recovery anymore after flashing this! Is it normal?

If yes which is my primary ROM and in which do I install my secondary ROM??

-_- messed everything up but got it fixed with a little bit of trouble.

never getting multiboot again ;'(

I read and followed properly and still messed up and ended up installing miui as the main ROM.

I flashed it in custom recovery and multi boot got uninstalled....

[Defy Android Development] SuperSkill:
Actually I haven't used it, you know, reading from sd ain't as fast as nand. Don't misunderstand, it's a great feature and should be used if needed or if you need a permanent rom and still wanna test others. I'm sure you'll get it working if you try again :D

If there is really a need for detailed tutorials, etc.

Then anyone should open ONE support-thread in general-section.

This thread is mainly for development, feature-requests and bug-reports.
[Defy Android Development] Shubhamqweasd:
yes :D

btw, some feature requests -->

1. adding boot from nandroid in commom list boot from 2nd-system .

2. link recovery (both nandroid and sd-card) into list boot from 2nd-system .

these features were present in earlier versions :D

EVERYTHING except these two features are working perfectly :D

THANKS
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
true....... The instructions in the op only tell you how to install multiboot BUT NOT HOW TO INSTALL ROMS ON IT.

And thats where I messed up :D

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 AM ----------

You wouldn't say that if you were 1-inch close to bricking your phone and never had it bricked before :p
[Defy Android Development] bone101:
No chance for multi boot CMX@nand - CM9@sdcard ?
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
Lucky you :D I'm scared of bricking my phone :P :D

Where are you actually suppose to install the secondary ROM? I install it in custom recovery and it got installed as the primary ROM :/
[Defy Android Development] aribis:
Actually you have to be talented enough to brick your defy...so don't be afraid of soft bricks and make sure you have enough charge before you start doing anything...

As for multiboot just follow some basic ethics....

keep phone charged

Install your primary ROM on the stable recovery

Flash multiboot on the stable recovery

Install secondary ROM on custom recovery

Wipe cache/data before and after every flash

I am using CM10 as nand and CM7 as secondary without issues...

Hope this helps you get dual boot working!

[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
Do I have to flash it on stable recovery? How do I know where I have flashed it now? :D I don't remember.

And Also what's nand?

[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
Thats the Multiboot v0.1-way.

We now have a menu which should be self-explaining :P
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
So, have u set the character limit for the name to 1 byte or was this coincidence???
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
The problem is tha bad character, not the length: "whiterab�"
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
I had typed whiterabbit only...mbm and root explorer showed them correctly...weird....doesn't matter anyway...
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
So I shouldn't do it that way then?, what menu BTW?

sent from my LifeProof Defy
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
Gawwddd....here I go anyway

. Have ur primary system with root, boot menu and all( latest ROM nightlies have that)

. Make a folder called "multiboot" in SD card and place ur vfs in a sub folder with name of ur virtual secondary ROM in allowed characters. U can use royale1223's vibhinna app for that. Search Dev forum.

. Go to custom recovery and choose install zip from SD card. Flash latest multi boot v0.8 wherever u placed it(preferably root of SD)

. After its done, no need of any wipes. Reboot system.

. Check again if ur primary system on 'nand' is working(if u want)

. Go back to boot menu. By magic u will see a new option called "multi boot". Voila ....click it

. Choose recovery>custom recovery(stable recovery will also do I think). Now u will see a list of all ur vfs u placed in multi boot folder.

. Choose the one of ur liking. Now the phone may act unresponsive for a few seconds and red led might light up...<<<do not panic>>> its is only formatting/optimizing ur vfs(whatever it does!!!!)

. Then u will see the usual cwm recovery with multiboot written in background.

. Now, install zip from SD card and choose the ROM of ur choice. After it flashes, just do a cache wipe...just to be sure

. Reboot system now. When blue led lights up, enter boot menu as usual.

. Go to multi boot>select bootmode>"the ROM u just installed."

. Go back to boot menu. Boot>set default>2nd system ....if u want to set ur virtual ROM as default boot .

. If u flash directly from boot menu>recovery>custom recovery u r flashing on nand ....not changing ur virtual ROM. Common sense.

. From latest version as per change log flashing from nand recovery does not remove multiboot. Havnt tested it though.

Done

@m11kkaa...are the generals setting And the other settings still stub. Nothing happens on choosing it....????
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
Thanks I'll try it after my battery is charged fully :D

EDIT: unfortunately I read that the royal's vibhinna app dosnt work in cm10 :'(

and I also read that multiboot isnt properly working in the latest CM10 build(28/8).... is it true?

sent from my LifeProof Defy
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
Oh pls read the thread properly, latest version fixed the multi boot problem and vibhinna works fine fr me ....
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
ok trying it now oh and the thread is too big to go through it fully and the op didnt say anything about it either.....

EDIT: AHHHH bootloops!!!!

I changed my default boot to 2nd-init and its working again phew :/

but when I change it back to 2nd system i stops working again.....

I tried to install miui 2.4.20.

What did I do wrong?

EDIT 2:I just wiped cache again and now its just STUCK on M logo....

I also tried to install white rabbit and Its just well I think stuck at the M logo.Does it take alot of time to load?

EDIT 3: and when I try to install CM10 it says multiboot has crashed and press any button to reboot. (or something like that idk forgot it).after reboot the same happens again.

BTW I am not flashing any kernels could that be the reason?
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
preferably use both roms based on same kernel. for now go to 2nd init....use a root file explorer. and post error log from /cache/multiboot
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
The cache folder is empty

BTW I tried to install CM10 with the kernal and got into bootloops...

While I am flashing ROMs it does give me a error like E:\ failed to access /cache/recover/log (Or something similar)
[Defy Android Development] bone101:
I tried multiboot with quarx 28.8 in nand & quarx cm9 quarx 16.7 , ms2ginger4 as 2 system with no success...

What works for me is cm 9 @ nand & cmx @ 2nd system......
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
Everything works fine with 0.8 multiboot - you have to be patient and set correctly the bootmode like bharaththeunique wrote.

I got CM9 by Epsylon3, CM10 by Quarx and two other ROM's and each of them is booting to itself.

It goes by second 2nd-boot or 2nd-system - you just have to give time to your DEFY to reboot.

I am just amazed how 0.8 multiboot do this.
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
How much did it take?

sent from my LifeProof Defy
[Defy Android Development] m_zet:
It took 30-60 seconds to boot into virtual system.

I do like this:

1. Bootmenu.

2. Multiboot -> Set Bootmode: (i.e.) CM10.

3. Multiboot -> Recovery -> (i.e.) CM10 -> clean cache/dalvik - > reboot into Bootmenu.

4. Bootmenu -> Boot -> 2nd-boot (or 2nd-system - both work for me after cache/dalvik clean).

Than it looks like phone freezes lights on phone fades, screen fades and it boots into virtual system.

The thing with cacke/dalvik clean do the trick in my case.

Good luck!
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
Still not working... :/ BTW what size Fsimages did you use??(For CM10)
[Defy Android Development] Deformat:
Hi guys,

Is there any method to uninstall it and go back to using hardware buttons instead of touchscreen?
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
2nd-boot shouldnt work. I designed multiboot-installer so this is not touched and will stay original(same as 2nd-init).

I don't know why it works for you but, use 2ndsystem instead.
[Defy Android Development] Deformat:
I'll try to be more precise guys:

-I tried with deleting that folder (didn't work)

-I tried to uninstall in the apps menu.

-I tried setting it to 2nd-Init. Nothing.

Nada.

[Defy Android Development] Fatt0:
hi all, sorry if this is not a dev post, but are cpu settings working for you in new mbm0.8?

i had ms2ginger @ nand with waltr79's 4.5.2-109-DHT-22 kernel, after i flashed mbm0.8 and my defy(red) got stuck at M logo.

then i set cpu setting to default and ms2ginger loaded fine, but when i change the governor different from ondemand i got stuck at Mlogo.

tried walter79's 4.5.3-109 kernel and i can change governor in cpu setting, but inside Rom with Nofrills i see governor=Ondemand,

i try to enable status and module in mbm and i got stuck in Mlogo.

Sorry if this was alredy explained, but i can't see anyone having this problem and sorry for my english

ps. i can't see the 4th setting for voltage and clock too
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
grr!

Bharattheunique ,

You say that you need to be talented to brick your phone... well bricking the PHONE THRICE IN A ROW would make me a GENIUS then LOL :D

So heres the story, I tried MANY things to make multboot work on my CM10 green lens defy but all failed so I finally decided to go to cm7 and try to see if it works. I decided to use CM7 white rabbit.I flashed it without the kernal thinking that being on CM10 I already have the kernal(in the op of white rabbit it said the kernal I had was supported.AND BOOM... Bootloops. I flashed the sbf of my country and again flashed white rabbit with the kernal this time. But the same result- Bootloops.......

So again I flashed the sbf and decided NOT TO FLASH white rabbit again :D so I decided to flash cm7.2 instead. and again the same bootloops!!!!(altough this I time I had no idea Why! I checked that everything was correct....)so again the sbf flashing...

But this time when I flashed the sbf and ran the phone I got a error that I have a damaged sd card! It asked me to format it but when I press format nothing happens.. I tried to plug it into my computer and it showed up in my computer but whenever I try to format/copy/cut/paste/delete any stuff it just disconnects and reconnects by itself! if I dont do any copy paste or delete it works.... what do I do!?
[Defy Android Development] xblosa:
Can i use the cm10 Rom Updater while it is running on multiboot? I always feared it could break my cm7 (nand).

Just wondering, i can continue going through cwm as i did last months.
[Defy Android Development] m11kkaa:
1) you don't need to flash full-sbfs. to switch between custom Roms. use CWM for that

2) It sounds like you've got bootloops because you forgot to wipe data and cache
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
Idk what's a full sbf and I did wipe data and cache anyways I got white rabbit to work now :D but any help for the memory card? I can't try multiboot without my memory card
[Defy Android Development] bharaththeunique:
obviously u cant....d system is running from sd card ....u cant unmount it to b accessed it from computer....switch it off, go to bootmenu and then use share sd feature, or remove sd card and use card reader
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
The share sd card feature isnt working.. and I already wrote about the card reader in my previous post..

EDIT: Its working now and I'm formattin it right now Cause when I tried to copy/cut /paste anything it said cannot read/write...

Edit2: Weird , Windows says that the sd card is formatted and disconnects my card so i restart my mobile and still says damaged memory card so I connect it again and I saw the files are still there. It wasnt formatted at all :/

I tried both quick and slow formatting but same result for both.... I think my memory card is dead....
[Defy Android Development] fendymn:
i also had bootloop. i try to install wiui v4 2.8.23. after i flash the multi boot v0.8, i already had bootloop. i can't even bootup my primary rom(cmx 0309)
[Defy Android Development] fendymn:
where do i put the fsimages.zip?
[Defy Android Development] Euro_Rules:
Extract fsimages.zip in SD card /Multiboot/***

*** means whatever name of folder (eg... CM10 or CM09 )
[Defy Android Development] fendymn:
if i have two rom (eg : cmx & miui), i have to put inside every folder? or only the primary rom?
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
Can someone give me the link to a miui ROM I can flash on multiboot without flashing another kernel...
[Defy Android Development] Euro_Rules:
Each Rom must have separate folder

CM10 one folder with all 3 files and for MIUI one folder with 3 files
[Defy Android Development] duo64:
And do not forget to apply the gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip after CM10 with CWM!
[Defy Android Development] fendymn:
i still cannot do it.:(. now i try to make WIUI gb as my 2nd rom. this is what i do so far :

my defy was originally flash with cm10 quarx nightly 0309. i didn't do anything with my cm10. but i created folder in multiboot for it, created fsimages files each 300mb in the folder & then i created folder for wiui & the fsimages files each 300mb in the respective folder

- enter bootmenu - recovery - custom recovery

- flash multiboot

- enter bootmenu - multiboot - recovery - custom recovery - wiui - clear cache - flash gb kernell - flash wiui - clear cache

- enter bootmenu - multiboot - set bootmode - wiui

- enter bootmenu - boot - set default - 2ndsystem - reboot

then i got stuck at m logo. my question is :

1) do i have to flash cm10 again in multiboot then flash wiui in multiboot as well

2) do i need to cleardata & start from scratch

thanks
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
You dont have to create a folder for cm10 in multiboot , dats ur primary ROM.

A1)No you dont have to flash cm10.

2) I had the same problem I started from scratch with full sbf and that fixed it.But first try this- just set default boot to 2nd-init & reboot.Then delete the wiui folder. Create it again and flash it again in CMW and clear cache and dalvik before and after flashing the ROM.(in other words : TRY AGAIN)

i still dont know what is the cause of the problem. i've tried to flash rom then kernel, flash kernel then rom, flash rom only. all method doesn't work :(. so i decided to change rom. now i use miui pikachu. i delete the wiui folder & create miui pikachu folder. great news is i manage to get the multiboot work :D:D. thanks for your continuous support :highfive:

by the way, i think someone did ask which rom doesn't have to flash kernel. i flash miui pikachu without kernel & it work. this rom is base on froyo kernel

[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
Two things ;-

1) Your using 0.7 which isnt compatible with cm10.

2) Even if you 0.8 , its not gonna work on the latest cm10 build cause the latest is not supported. You can use the last build tough...
[Defy Android Development] YaPeL:
Didn't catch the last phrase, so, using multiboot 0.7 is going to work right?

No! Only 0.8 works, but build must support it which latest (and best) doesn't! Just juggle nandroid backups or live with cm10 alone it's stable enough now anyway

after installing cm10 in multiboot?

after installing cm10 in nand?

that means:

experimental CM10 in NAND + multiboot? ok.

does blue LED still come up, so you can access bootmenu?

BTW: If you had installed CM10+multiboot and you updated CM10, multiboot should still be installed because it backups itself via addon.d script.

when I select the recovery it gives me the "AN ERROR OCCURED !"Screen.

There is nothing? Then the cache partition maybe is not mounted.

What's up with NAND-recovery?

I can't do anything without a log, because for me everything is working fine with latest CM10 and multiboot 0.8
[Defy Android Development] veddandekar:
err then how do I mount the cache partition????

And whats a Nand-recovery?

NAND-recovery is the normal recovery(not inside multiboot-menu).

mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p24 /cache
