@Whirleyes:

Just a suggestion: Maybe you could link the oldest Bootmenu Version for troubleshooting. It helps if someone can't install the bootmenu packages because of a reportedly full preinstall-partition.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
No need to download anything.

The file you suggest is just an image of preinstall partition.

If you read one pages back, I've already give hint/suggestion/solution for that & it work.

Problem : False report of full preinstall partition.

Cause : (maybe) somehow preinstall partition get corrupted after using safestrap

Solution : Reformat preinstall partition.

Howto :
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
What about your Tweakerz App? It would be great if we could safe the settings made in it to get it working on boot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] romdroid.:
will bootmenu be compatible with kexec soon? I never intend to use safestrap because bootmenu is so perfect..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Gimpeh:
I sure hope so. Switching roms on it is such a pain.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joaonds:
Please, i have Safestrap.

I can install Bootstrap together? Or only one of two ?

Is there any way to install AOSP roms on the 1st system!? I always end up with a black screen, modified stock roms work great though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
For CM9 disable the custom init on 2nd System, Convert the Rom with 2nd rootfs enabled and flash it on Main System.

It should boot.

Just make sure that you don't got custom init on 2nd System enabled.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] ryan8r:
Just to be clear I don't even use 2nd system so its completely disabled and I did enable 2nd init on 1st system while converting the rom with 2ndroot fs enabled. I'm gonna try again over a fresh install and report.

hey Whirl,

mine doesn't work anymore...

ive updated my leaked ICS into official Rogers (Canada) ICS, but i uninstalled Bootmenu before that.

so now im trying to reinstall it again from the Play store... but it kept failing.

first it says, no more freespace, please clean /preinstall.

so i went to /preinstall and found bootmenu folder. i deleted that and back to menu. then download button is enabled, downloaded it, installed hijack. then install package button is up, clicked that, it says its installing, but the tick-mark doesn't get ticked.

reboot my phone, nothing.

went back to app, and it's back to step 1: /preinstall is full! please clean. (although now hijack is installed).

rinse, repeat. deleted the folder, says it can install now, hit install package, doesn't do anything...... close app, open app, says not enough space.....

help?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
I don't know what is the status/changes of official Rogers update.

But I suspect it has some effect on preinstall partiton.

Have you try reformat preinstall partition before install BootMenu?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
I can send you bootmenu 0.1 only for installing, I am sure it helps because for me it did.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] R3dbeaver:
no i havent. not sure how to do that, but i can just delete the /partition folder under / (root).

would that b the same?

that being said, its not about the free space. i can delete it and that warning goes away. but once i installed hijack, clicking on the "Install Package" doesn't do anything... (it does pop up "installing package..." window for a sec, but no tick-mark on Installed Package.)

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:41 PM ----------

that would be nice. its easier than trying to reformat a partition.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Sorry for the late...

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/34466363/MotorolaRazr/BootstrapBootmenu/preinstall_bootmenu.zip

You have to copy the content into a folder which includes adb files and a fastboot.exe

Then switch on usb debugging, connect the razr to usb and run the install_bootmenu.bat

After that the bootmenu is installed. Reboot to rom and run bootmenu app and select download / install package.

******Crickets chirping.... :rolleyes:

And I guess my lesson I figured out on my own was not to use this if already having used: DroidRazrUtility1.8 to get SafeStrap & Recovery.

Jeez, it would be nice if such a thing was posted in the OP for new-comers as myself.

Oh well, lesson learned. :mad:

Booted back in Recovery with SafeStrap/Menu button, then toggled Safestrap off which I guess reverted to a backup. I'm still in the process of re-flashing and setting up Artic HD and my TB backup, then all my widgets... Arghhh. Will be an hour or so till I get back up to where I was.:rolleyes:

If ANYONE knows where I'm going wrong with this (Trying to install and utilize BootMenu), then please chime in. At this point I'm placing this one on my "Do not touch" list. :eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
You toggled back to non safe and uninstalled Safestrap before you tried to install BM? I can't realy follow your posts, but for me it sounds like you tried to install BM on Safe side :confused:

Thousands of users use BM. In my Home Forum in Germany it's the recommended Recovery to flash Roms and we got no Hard Brick since it's released.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lazer9:
No, Not sure how to do that.

Yea, I think that's what I pretty much tried to do and it didn't work. My ROM was already installed so wouldn't I need to be on safe side so not to lose it back to stock?

Oh I believe you. I know just about enough to get myself in trouble sometimes... :eek:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
You definitely did NOT uninstall safestrap. And that was the mistake. Next time: open the safestrap app and select "uninstall recovery". That's it! Better you ask before you do anything next time.. ;)

Okay, so "IF" I were to try this again, I understand to uninstall safestrap first this time.

What happens with my "Backup" of my rom I created -Is it still called a NanDroid as in the DroidX Days. I made one and even ticked a new item that said "Web...something" backup ? :confused:

Then I would simply start by downloading and installing Bootstrap BootMenu. Could I then restore my NanDroid to slot 1 mod and proceed to convert/install more mods from there to the new slot(s). - assuming this is similiar to Boot Manager?

Just to add:

I have no "SafeStrap" icon in the Apps drawer nor in the Settings/Apps to "Uninstall" so I will have no idea how to accomplish that. I know I got it with that Ultimate .zip link I posted some time earlier. :p

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lazer9:
Ok, I can follow you on that BUT what happens next. Do I have to then boot into the "Stock" original and be able to find "SafeStrap" app to go through the removal process from there.

OR

Do I simply proceed to install Bootstrap BootMenu AFTER being back on the unsafe side in SafeStrap.

AND

What about my NANDROID of Artic HD - Is it restorable into Bootstrap BootMenu beings I think I have it backed up on my External SD (Atleast that's what I just recently chose to do)... ?? :confused:

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Ok, mate. If you have Safestrap installed on your device and you want to install Bootmenu, follow the steps:

Toggle to Non-Safe-System

[*]Boot into Non-Safe-System

[*]Open Safestrap App and select "uninstall recovery"

[*]Download and install Bootmenu

[*]Open up bootmenu and let it install hijack and packages

[*]Now Bootmenu is ready to use

Your Nandroid Backup which you've made with Safestrap is still on your SDCARD (internal or external - depends on what you've selected).

I don't know exactly if you can resotre it with Bootmenu but I can promise you that you can restore it as soon as you uninstall bootmenu and reinstall Safestrap.

Everything clear so far? If not, just ask. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lazer9:
I've run into one issue upon following your steps up until:

*Open up bootmenu and let it install hijack and packages....

It says: Bootstrap apk found / Please Uninstall it!

-I can't find bootstrap apk in the apps drawer NOR in Settings/Apps :confused:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Mate, what the hell did you do??? It seems that you've installed Safestrap, Bootmenu AND also Bootstrap...:eek:

Ok, well. I guess your phone is still rooted. So do the following:

Open any root file explorer like root explorer or root browser lite.

scroll down to the "preinstall"-folder and delete EVERYTHING in it.

Now open the bootmenu app and follow the steps I've posted above.

There must be an folder called Safestrap on your SD or external. Copy the Backup out of this into clockworkmod/backup.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lazer9:
Okay. I have no idea where to place the NANDROID that I do have in a folder I backed up called BAKSafestrap on the SD. Do I move these to the Clockwork Mod / Backup location and then attempt a restore backup from there via BootMenu whilst in my phone (stock) rom.

OR

Is there an easier/safer way to accomplish what I want and that is to simply boot up into RECOVERY at the beginning of the boot of phone where you touch the screen and navigate to there and then select Backup/Restore and then Restore - BUT this is where I need to know where in the hell the Restore files are expected so I can move them to the proper folder and accomplish. :confused:

Just thought of something. If I do pull off restoring my NANDROID created when/under SafeStrap, is this not going to put me back to square one in regards to the conflict with this: Bootstrap BootMenu regarding the original problem I wonder. :confused:

Should I just start over with Artic HD and the assistance of TIBU thankfully and install this mod from scratch?

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

Ok I've Chosen to not go with the NANDROID as I'm afraid it will re-write rubbish to the /system and whatnot and create the same conflict I had before with the various recoveries

SO

I am installing my ROM from scratch, this time DROID HD. But one problem so far. Yes, I have converted it to BM via the menu and I'm rebooted into recovery

BUT

This option that the ROM requires "6) Mounts and storage -> Format system" , I cannot find an option in this Bootstrap BootMenu's Recovery to actually Format System. :confused:

The trial and error(s) shall continue...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sullytrny:
Should be under mounts

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
Nope, in Bootmenu Recovery there is no option to format /system. Instead of that you can format /webtop when you want to format System on second system. But bootmenu formats the system partition automatically when installing a new rom or it is performed by the roms updater-script. So there is no need to format /system. It works without that option all the time - without problems.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
You don't need to format system with BM. That's why there's no Format System Option.

Please! Can someone help me on what to do?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Ok, you've ignored the Warning about the HiJack and booted out of the Recovery after you flashed on Main System. So you've NO on boot Option anymore!

Solution > RSD back to Stock. Try to charge your Battery when Phone is Off before that.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lazer9:
Ok so please explain this to me a little better. What does "Warning about the HiJack" mean? Did I go wrong by trying to flash my ROM to the 1st system OR was it me mounting system. I would like to still pull this off. I want my DROID HD Rom to be in the 1st slot.

What is my plan assuming this SBF works out and I re-root?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Beware!

When you reboot your new Rom the BootMenu will check the Hijack (the on Boot Option). If there's something wrong, it will warn you and re-ask if you really wanna reboot!

If that happens to you, don't reboot!

Go back in the Recovery and switch to 6. System Keeper. There select install Hijack and try to reboot again.

---------- Post added at 08:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:27 PM ----------

First, for Blur based Roms you don't need to set the 2nd rootfs in Rom Converter (you can, but it's not needed)

For the DroidHD Rom (converted), just boot into Recovery > Wipe Data > Cache > Dalvik > install Rom > install Hijack > reboot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lazer9:
Ok. Understand that part.

Now. Can I attempt to convert my ROM to BM then proceed to boot to recovery and flash with wiping just dalvik & cache and ignoring system and as long as I don't see that menu you just posted, then all should be fine?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
The Menu will always appear, when you flash on Main system. Just install the Hijack right after the Rom and before you reboot ;)

Forgot > Wipe everything (Data / Cache & Dalvik Cache)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lazer9:
Thank you. I'm up and running with 1 main ROM.

Now to only figure out how / methods in adding additional ROMs and using as I originally intended such as "Boot Manager" allowed with the Droid X. :laugh:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tarster:
Hsd got any ideas?

From my Droid RAZR Maxx rooted with bootmenu and full throttle stronger than all cm9
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
You want to flash a rom to second system? Toggle second system in recovery and then - just flash! ;)

And if you qant to boot second system, just select on booting your second system. For safestrap based roms (like most CDMA roms) you must switch on "2n init" in Bootmenu app on 2nd System Settings, otherwise it won't boot.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
For the Statusbar, maybe someone can upload the Stock System Ui out of System/app and you replace it with that. (Nandroid before)

About the converter > i guess it crashes for everyone after converting. It's the same for me, but the BM_zip works.

When you convert an CM9 or AOKP Rom, don't forget to set the 2nd rootfs before you hit the convert button.

And only set the Custom init on one System (the desired one). Whirleyes posted an Solution to run 2 custom init Roms, but i use another way.

My Main Rom is always Stock based (Arctic, Eclipse etc.) without custom init enabled. On 2nd System i flash CM9 and Aokp with custom.init enabled.

The reason for me is the switch to Safestrap, if i wanna test an new DHacker release. When your Main needs the Custom init and you've no BM installed, you can't boot into your Non Safe System anymore to uninstall Safestrap and install BM again.

Sent from my XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tarster:
That would be great if someone could post up the stock ui for me. I'm not terribly worried about it because I'm almost tempted with the Bluetooth issue just to rsd back the stock image and run rooted stock.

I always make sure to set the 2nd rootfs when doing those roms but thank you for reminding me again. Ah and i am running 2nd init on the second system already also.

Maybe i got a bad flash the last time.

In a side note i found out it wasn't all Bluetooth related when you lose your call sounds. Insert a headphones Jack and pull it back out and it will all go back to working again. Bluetooth on or off

[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Maybe it will be different from what CyanogenDefy BootMenu is. I just take the idea & the name, not the codes.

This is a very lightweight version. I rewrite it from scratch (code is based on ICS recovery).

It's no any doing any fancy stuff. It just wait for user input/timeout. That's all.

Saved for something in future?

We need to wait for an official ICS to confirm. Maybe they will delete this partition.

If it got deleted, we need to restore old cdt.bin(~ partition table) from leak.
