Does anyone use twrp 1.1.1 ? I'm wondering how that works with BM also I was thinking of why the backups from twrp 2.0 had issues and I think mind were because they were compressed. Anyone else that had the issue of the backup restoring to the internal memory, did you have your backups compressed? Also anyone that it works for are your backups compressed or not?
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Could be the compression. I'm going to try installing an uncompressed nandroid and see if that works. I'll report back.

Smartass with a Dumb phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Good thinking on the compressed backup thing. But I've never compressed a backup and it wouldn't restore my uncompressed backup.

Edit...although, in twrps defense, I only tried it twice, then I switched to cwm.
[HTC EVO 3D] spookytay:
Was your uncompressed backup installing to internal memory or was it some other error?
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
To tell you the truth...I don't know, how do you know? I just know that it took wayyy to long and then it said complete but it had errors and when I tried to boot it, it said there's no Rom installed.

Another forum I read talked about it installing to internal mem. The guy said it used all of his mem and shut down and boot looped. He had to wait till he got home to fastbiot to recovery to flash the update.zip.

Man, HTC really effed us in tha A on the whole s-on deal.

LOL...the thread I'm talking about was started by you spooky. Just went to get the link to post here but.....
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
That idea I had about keeping a PG86IMG.zip on the sd card is a very bad one LOL make sure you don't do that. If you have one on there and you have a problem getting your phone to boot and have to pull the battery you wont be able to get back into recovery because the bootloader will prompt you to install it and either way if you deny or flash it your only option after that is to reboot the phone. This wasn't a problem on the og evo cause you would have the option to boot to recovery after . Does anyone know if the eng hboot has that option?

Also I'm giving twrp 1.1.1 a try for a little while to see how that goes since it has the compression option and that saves a lot of space, I'll just make a backup with out it then flash to a slot, delete that backup and make a compressed one.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
No problem for me atleast. I've even used my phone to read texts and used some apps while boot manager was running in background , installing a ROM on slot.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
Yeah I just got nervous cause of the issues I had with twrp 2.0 but this app has been working great since I changed recoverys. I'm testing twrp 1.1.1 now and so far so good. I like to have the option to compress the backup if I get low on storage.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
For those who dont know, you can create your desired number of ROM slots from settings>slot number then restart app to apply the settings.
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
So, once I have a ROM loaded into slot 1 and I know it all works can I delete the ROM.zip from my sd card?
[HTC EVO 3D] gotojanoo:
noob question regarding boot manager. I bought it and installed fine. So Phone rom= viper rom, rom 1= cleanrom and rom 2 = cm9 ics. WHen i booted to rom 2 thats is ICS i can see my bootmanager in ics but when i try to boot my phone rom it can not boot so i have to wipe everything and start ove.Can anyone can guid me how can boot back to phone rom from rom 2 and rom 3 .
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Yes

10char
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I think that boot manager isn't fully compatible with ics yet, although it works for me most of the time. If you want to get back to your phone Rom and boot manager won't boot to it, you'll need to go to recovery, find the boot manager folder, find the phone Rom folder within. Then find the update.zip. flash that.(no wiping necessary).

Btw if your hboot 1.5 with s-on then you have to fastboot into recovery to flash that zip, it changes the boot partition. Hope this helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] gotojanoo:
Thanks for your prompt answer.Yes u right i got 1.50 hboot. and i just used power and volume down to get in to recovery. Now i got it.Thanks again
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
xcpefrmreality its cool of you to answer questions, this seems to at least be helping out a few of us with this app . And its good I did make this thread cause anytime I ask about this app in a ROM thread , even though I'm on that ROM.. i get flamed by people on here and those guys have like 10 thanks but I guess I understand why.

Sorry for the rant , I'm just glad to see everyone in here helping out. Even if its only a few of us.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Just wanted to post my findings since boot manager is running perfectly for me now. It took awhile for me to get it running with no flaws. i think my problem was twrp.

hboot 1.5 with s-on cwm 4.0.1.4

phone rom - is mikrunny <---- btw, wow

slot 1 - infectedrom eternity evo3d-35-r186 (restored cwm nand)

slot 2 - warm 2.3 (restored cwm nand)

slot 3 - miui 2.2.10 (restored cwm nand)

slot 4 - evervolv p9 (fresh install)

(all slots were installed as ext4)

Tested going from phone to each slot and from slot to slot, no issues.

The only one I forced a large boot image for was evervolv.

At first the app would just hang while trying to start, but now it starts up just fine, im not sure that a recovery would make it hang and force close when starting but when I started using cwm, it just started working like on my og evo, perfectly.

@linsalata... thanks for starting this thread, its helped me too. i just got my 3d 4 days ago.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
When I update the op I'll add your setup to it.

I'm going to be adding anyones setup with their name to the op so that anyone with issues on with those ROM will know who to go to.

I was having the same thing with twrp 2.0. So far cwm and twrp v1.1.1 both work flawlessly with restoring backups to slots. You can not restore a compressed backup with twrp 1.1.1 either so don't bother trying cause I've tested it. I'm getting a new sd card on Monday a lexar 32gb class 10 and I'm going to give twrp 2.0 another try to see if its the card. I'm using a 16gb class 10 Samsung atm. If anyone using the 8gb card that came with the phone please post your findings cause I'm trying to track down this twrp 2.0 issue . I want to know if its a card or phone issue so thanks to anyone who helps in testing this out so we can pin point this problem. All these findings will be posted in the op to help in the future.

Are you saying that you didn't use fastboot to get to recovery, and you were able to flash the update.zip? And your s-on?
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
I just got mine like a week ago also.

I noticed your using Mikrunny that was the first ROM I flashed and IMO the nest around. The only issue is no 4g or 3d but I don't use them anyway. Since there were no themes for it I made my own battery cause thats all I really wanted except a lock ring but I'm going to try and make a skin with one to fix that. Here is what mine looks like.

Yeah, mikrunny is pretty sweet. It wasn't the first Rom I tried, but it'll likely be the last for awhile. I don't use 4g myself so that's no biggie to me. 3d even works, and the anthrax kernel. It splits my long texts and I get mms. And visual voicemail works. I ran sense 3.5 on my og EVO and the things I just mentioned were issues. I'm loving it. So much smoother than sense 3.5 on the og EVO.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Well, I hope you don't think you were getting flamed in the cm9 thread, the OP warned us to stay on topic. And it is true that if you run a ROM from boot manager, especially an alpha ROM, it's problematic to diagnose issues since BM can introduce it's own problems.....

Smartass with a Dumb phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
Or you can use flash image gui that way you don't have to do it via fastboot ;) It's a pretty simple painless process. If anyone wants to know how let me know and I will write up the steps, just didn't want to do it here because this isn't a flash image gui thread.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
No I get it and thats why I started this thread. Its just the way that people say things. You can look at my thanks and post count its not like I'm new around here. And I'm not even referring to anything anyone said to me. Things can just be handled with a little more respect you know.

[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Well the thing about that is that if you're already in a Rom, u may as well use boot manager to flash the update.zip. the problem is that when u try to boot a Rom from boot manager and it fails and you go into a boot loop, you can't use flash image GUI. You'll be stuck till you can fastboot to recovery.

Edit...but thanks for the info, I was wondering if the GUI would flash the update.zip.

[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
I have hboot 1.5 s-on and I'm running Miui as my phone rom I want cm9 as slot 1.. I've turned su logging off, enabled large boot and installed rom plus gapps successfully but when I go to boot into the rom I hang at the splash screen. I've tried this 3x but to no avail.. Any suggestions?
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
If your using twrp try changing to cwm that fixes it for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Does anyone know about resizing images? Like when and why you would do it.

Also the sd read ahead speed, what have you had the best luck with.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Some images are oversized for whatever reason. You can experiment with making them smaller to save space on to your sdcard. There are a couple people I have heard of that have done it. Also some info on the BM website.

As for the read ahead speed, grab a sdcard testing app for free off market, then check the test results, and use the closest speed to the test result. I'm using 2048 to avoid any errors, but my test result was closer to 3072.
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Also wanted to note that after numerous uninstalls and deleting of BM folders, I now get the root error on every ROM I have installed to a sdcard slot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
I've read about ppl having this prob but I haven't run into it.

Out of curiosity, what recovery are you using and was it an install or a nand restore?
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
TWRP 2 and the installs are all fresh.

[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
Try cwm , I had all kind of issues with twrp 2.0 and I really didn't think it mattered but now I have no issues flashing or even restoring to slots.

The only problem I have right now is in cm9 it wont flash to another ROM, I have to go and flash one of the update.zip's from the bootmanager folder in recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
im using cwm touch.. ive never used twp
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Is the USB mount in cwm touch a known bug or is it just happening to some ppl?
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
I think it is done to manage how much space you wantto give the Rom.

For example if you resize data.img then that custom rom will show internal memory according to that. I dont know if i m correct ,it was just a guess.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:43 PM ----------

My CM9 works fine in changing to another ROM, but takes some time around 1 minute to do so. Check again , sometimes it requires you to click boot ROM more than once.

---------- Post added at 04:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 PM ----------

Yes AFAIK this happens to all...

Anyone know if ICS MIUI (MIUI V4) works with bootmanager?

EDIT: Confirmed working with boot manager.
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Hey I've found a solution , try and tell if it works...

I think you have forgot to disable logging in superuser app in CM9 , you did it on your phone ROM but not in your SLOT ROMS.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
I have no usb mount.. I think it's a known issue
[HTC EVO 3D] SoraX64:
Installed Bootmanager, installed Joel's MIUI v4 build on slot 1. Boots fine. But when I open Bootmanager to go back to my phone ROM (CM9) I get an error "downloading necessary files" and I can't figure out how to fix it. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] DarkManX4lf:
Uninstall boot manager and reinstall it from the market. That should fix that problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] spookytay:
Make sure you have a data connection
[HTC EVO 3D] ch1naski:
Make sure your data connection is 3g, not wifi.

[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
noob question... but can i use BM to change my phone rom?

ive successfully installed 4 slots but am curious about if that is a possibility

i havent seen anything on that anywhere
[HTC EVO 3D] spookytay:
no, you can't, only to slots
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
To change your phone ROM just boot back to your phone ROM then flash a new ROM from recovery. Make sure once you boot up that you set up your phone ROM again in BM before you boot to a ROM slot.
[HTC EVO 3D] banccalif:
gotcha, i thought so but wanted to get confirmation thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] darkstar765:
Sorry a noob has to ask......I know it says S-OFF but is there anyway it would work with Hboot 1.5 S-ON????
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Yes it will. I have s-on and it works. Except for today at work, I restored a twrp backup into a slot and then tried to boot it. Hung on splash screen, hboot wouldn't take me to recovery. Couldn't fix it till I got home and fasbooted to recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
Yes there is no s-off for 1.50. I posted that cause someone in this thread said it works but I have s-off so I cant really help you with it. But he said it works fine with s-on.
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
Want to update the known working?

[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
I sure will. I haven't been messing with it much cause I was waiting on my new memory card but I just got it the other day and got everything moved over but for some reason the bm didn't copy right or it just doesn't like files from my old memory card cause they were lagging bad. But as I'm redoing them they are working much better, but I don't have the time to set up to much at a time. Its nice though cause my new card is 2 times faster then my old one and that one was fast but it was only a 16gb now I have a 32. I got lucky cause I've read about getting cards and them not having speeds as they were advertised as but my 32gb class 10 lexar is right on the money.

I'll add your setup to the op thanks for helping out with this for everyone wanting to use this great app.

Thank you. I had a good time writing it.

I've got boot manager pro working great on the Mrs. Evo. She running tommy's classic v0.0.6 and has AOKP ICS as the slot 1 ROM.

Also, if anyone is interested in helping me get my The Root of all Evo mobile app built any little bit helps! http://www.gofundme.com/ff65k
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
I wish I could help but money is very tight right now. How do people get their sites on tapatalk? Maybe you could look into that. Also IDK if you have ever heard of appsbar but you can create your own app, maybe that would be something worth looking into and its pretty easy to do I've even went on there and played around.
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
tapatalk is highly expensive and built more for forums. I haven't heard of appsbar I'll look into it though. The mobile app that I'm getting developed is built specifically for blog sites like mine. It gives a homescreen widget, will update you of new posts in the notifications and makes it very easy for readers on the go to see what's new.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
That sound cool wish I could help.
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
Yeah man, no worries. I understand the state of the economy. I don't have everything for the app myself which is why I'm asking for help from the great android community :)
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
I would think you could find a dev around here that could help you with building the app, just ask around.
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonbloom:
I tried installing the new Virtuous ICS Sense 4.0 GSM rom to a SD slot today, only to run into the error "Error creating new boot.img".

I used to solve this by enabling "Force Large boot.img", but i already have this option enabled and it still gives me the error.

Anyone can help me with this one?

Also, if i want to fully reset 1 slot back to stock, can i simply delete the folder on my SD card, under BootManager?

For example, i installed CM9 on my SDcard slot 4, and when i try to install something over it, i always clear cache, system and data (all 3 things) and i also use the "Wipe data/Factory Reset" option on the slot before installing anything new, it's like it doesn't completely erase everything.

I tried installing a test version of MIUI over the CM9, and it installed fine, but when i boot into it, it just hangs on the boot animation.

When i try and install the test version of MIUI on a completely fresh SD card slot, it gives me an error and doesn't install it.

This leads me to believe there are some leftover files from the CM9 that isn't getting erased properly.
[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
You can go to manage slot/delete slot, instead of going to the boot manager folder and deleting the slot 1 folder.

Which recovery are you using? From my experience with this app, recovery matters, I'm using CWM 4.0.1.4.

I did a test last night, I installed joels cm9 from a folder within a folder (sd/1custom/roms/cm9) and played cartoon wars until I got the notification that it was done and it booted right up. I'm on it right now. I did the same thing with viper ROM. I figure some people might like to know that since most instructions say to have the file on the root of the SD card and don't touch the phone till its done installing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Moonbloom:
I'm also using CWM 4.0.1.4. The Revolutionary one.

When i install any rom/kernel using Boot Manager i normally overclock my phone to 1.5 ghz (max for me, since my phone rom is MIUI) and then go into bootmanager and do as i said in my earlier post, and then leave the phone on my desk until it says its completely done.

I think i should do a fresh install of BootManager, seems some settings are borked or something.
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
Hey linsalata28, I am looking at getting bmp and read through the 16 pages and very little talk on TWRP 1.1.1. Question I have is, how did it work when you tested it? I really like TWRP and not looking to change to CWM. I am on hboot 1.4 and compress when doing backups - any issues you came across on TWRP 1.1.1? Right now when I switch ROMS I just restore a backup.

Thanks for putting this together as I hadn't heard about bmp until I saw this post and JJsax's therootofallevo site. Nice job guys.
[HTC EVO 3D] linsalata28:
I couldn't get it to work with twrp but some people have it working for them. I don't think you can restore a compressed backup in a ROM slot but you can try and post your findings. I had to change to cwm to get it to work. You could just switch to cwm and make a backup just to restore it to a slot and then switch back to twrp for everything else if it doesn't work for you, that just an option.
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
Thx. Will look at it later and download the app and see what happens. $3 is worth it to support the devs and hoping it will work better than what I am currently doing. Report back once I get it.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Nice layout and guide man....
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
Hi guys. OK, I purchased BMP last night and went through the set up following the guide and got the phone rom set up and went to slot 1 to add another rom - I tried a back up and didn't work and then just used the zip file. It loaded up fine and when I went to reboot into slot 1 is when major issues happened. I got stuck in the splash screen and had to do a battery pull. I got into bootloader, then into recovery and did a full factory wipe as well as a superwipe and restored my backup - or so I wanted to. My backup got stuck in a bootloop and had to do another battery pull. Had to do multiple factory wipes and superwipes and finally got it to boot into my backup. To my dismay, both wifi and 4G now have issues. Tried wiping cach/dalvik and still a no go. Went back into recovery and tried 3 other ROMS I have back ups on and those didn't have wifi either - 4G not working as the roms don't support 4G. The last ROM I have a backup on finally got wifi and 4G working. Tried to go back into my original ROM and still wifi and 4G not working.

Not really sure what the issue is, but it REALLY screwed me up and seems to have screwed up my backups too. Any ideas what happened? I am running a Evo3D with Hboot 1.4 with S-Off. The ROM I used for "Phone ROM" is CleanROM DE 2.0 and I put MeanROM 1.7 in "Slot 1". I followed the instructions on your site as well as this guide - http://therootofallevo.com/2012/02/htc-evo-set-boot-manager-pro/ .

Any thought/help is much appreciated as BMP looks pretty cool, but I can't use if it's going to give me this many issues. I hope it isn't user error - but it could be. :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
For your wifi and 4g issues it sounds like you are having a kernel mismatch issue... Did you put a different kernel on those ROMs instead of the one that came with the ROM?

What recovery are you using with BMP? If you're using twrp to load a backup it doesn't play nice. CWM is the best way to do that. Also make sure you enable large boot images and disable superuser logging. I've never loaded a backup into a slot, I always do it the fresh way of installing the .zip and wiping all the cache/dalvik/data just like I would when flashing any other ROM.
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
The kernels are the ones that came with the ROMS. CleanROM has one of Chads and MeanROM is HTC stock.

I am using TWRP and noticed that backups don't play nice. I was able to add MeanROM in Slot 1 and all my issues happened when I tried to flash it. I do have large boot check and logging disabled in superuser.

Not sure what my issue is. I am going to work with it after I get off work today as I need phone for work purposes. :)

Appreciate you responding with suggestions. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] JJsax:
You say when you tried to flash it. With boot manager there is nothing to flash in the same sense that you flash a ROM. Boot manager takes care of everything for you. You hit the install zip and it should go through all the process then when it's done back completely out of boot manager then go back in and press boot rom.

If you need any more help feel free to PM me.
[HTC EVO 3D] LfnsR:
Sorry, meant boot rom in the app. :) Will hit you up via PM if still running into issues when I try again tonight. I am flashing a fresh flash of CleanROM with multiple factory/super wipes. Will see what happens. Thanks again.
