You have Bootstrap or Safestrap installed?

Boot into BootMenu Recovery > Format webtop

[Motorola Droid RAZR] supermario3:
Great documentation!

But I cant understand what's the "purpose" of the rom converter... It converts roms from safestrap to bootmenu format or it converts rom (updater script i think ) from main partition to webtop partition? I want to install miui on webtop partition without touching my main stock system. As far as i know i have to modify the updater script. Does bootmenu do this for me? Or will it in the next version?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
When you flash an unconverted Rom, it will delete everything from System, included the Boot Menu. This will happen on Main & second System.

So you can flash it, but you will not be able to get the hijack running, even with system keeper.

When you got V0.2.7 of BM running, just convert MiUi (without the 2nd rootfs set) > flash it on 2nd System and reboot into the Rom.

Sent from my CustomiZed XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] supermario3:
So to install miui on webtop partition. I download miui. I convert it with 2init option deselected. I flash it using the bootmenu application - 2nd system manager - install a zip package - add a file zip to queue. Correct?

Second question. The option to clear data and cache in 2nd system manager are not really needed for first time flashing on webtop because they clear data and cache on 2nd system which is just formatted. Correct?

3) can i select the insecure adb option for 2nd system miui? Or is it not Compatible?

4) just kidding . There is not a fourth question. Thank you very much :)

Hi all, i try to install an converted rom onto the 2nd system however custom recovery cant open /emmc/<zip> and aborts the installation. What am I overlooking ..

Thanks,

Diem
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
1. Correct

2. The clear data & cach will take 5sec. max. So why not just hit it, even when the webtop is formated. I guess it would be not necessary, but i always wipe before i flash.

3. Yes you can. It just set ADB on Root, when you connect it with your PC

4. Why not, there's always something to ask :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Flash from external SD.

I'v tried to mount the Webtop partition with both BootMemu Manager 0.2.6 and 0.2.7. They all give me the same message:

Error mounting: /Webtop

I'm running ICS 4.0.4 (official firmware) on a Razr MAXX.

The only reason caused the error I might think of is that I have my CID cleared (not restorable since backup corrupted).

This is probably the only difference among other people's phones.

I'v searched the web for solutions, but there's not even one page related to the problem.

I guess it's because the Webtop partition has not been used wildly except for dual booting purpose.

Any thoughts on fixing this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Have an Look into General Section. We faced this Problem in Germany, too. There's an pinned Tutorial about the manual way.

Solution ≥ Fastboot an webtop signed of an GB FW on your RazR. There seems to be an Problem with ICS Preinstalled on the Maxx.

And again, I didn't find any useful link on the web regarding this problem. :(

Are you sure of that? Coz I'm now looking at the v1.7 screenshot, I don't see any option out of 9 that does formatting. Or maybe I missed some?

No I mean flashback it and then root it and use the recovery application I believe in theirs the option to format the webtop in stock. 211

[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
He only need the webtop signed. The one i've linked is an GSM. I don't know what he's running, but if it's an CDMA Device, than just grab an webtop signed out of an GB Verizon Rom and fastboot it.

The ICS doesn't contain an adressed webtop partition, that's why we flashed an GB on it. After that the Guy was able to use it on his MaxX.

BTW: We on GSM never used such an Utility. The FlashMe will do the same for him, he just need to replace the right webtop.

Edit: I flashed the chinese ICS, too. This was an GSM Fastboot!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] bigbalaboom:
uhhh....the manual way...of....mounting Webtop? or flashing Webtop?

well, here's what I'v tried

first I tried to mount Webtop with ADB / Terminal Emulator, as you expected and stated: invalid argument

and then I pulled webtop file out of both Europe and Chinese firmware of GB (2.3.6), both were downlaoded from droid-developers.org

Europe: SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2-3_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip

Chinese: fastboot-p2b_spyder_umts_spyder-user-2.3.6-6.5.1_GC-136-SPDU-13-54-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN_Retail.tar.gz

Note that the Chinese version does not have a webtop_signed file, instead it's called grfs.img, and I renamed it to webtop_signed.

then I rebooted my phone to AP-Fastboot mode, and used flastboot FlashMe to flash them (one at a time of course)

eprj-mfastboot.exe flash webtop webtop_signed

a few seconds later, I got the error message: INFOimage bigger than partition / Failed

you told me to download the Verizon version, and..... it's still being downlaoded (120kb/s). I'm wondering if there would be any difference among the Verizon, Europe, Chinese. they are all for CDMA phones, and 2.3.6.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
No, that's not right! There's an difference in the size of the Partitions between CDMA & GSM.

For example the Pre Install Partition is bigger on CDMA. That's the Reason, why CDMA could use Safestrap & Dualboot on GB.

And EU / Asia / China / Latam are GSM and not CDMA. That's why we need an GSM Patch for CDMA Roms.

1st partition install

Hi, i'm sure you already answered this question million times but as i'm new to razr and as an addition i'm comming from derise with unlocked bootloader i'd like to ask anyway... (moreover i "bricked" my phone updating the wrong rom the day i recieved the phone)

I have XT910 (my wife bought it for me and some #$@#%$#$% sold her a Fido device even we live in EU)

Boot menu installed and updated

Bought with GB and updated with the Fido ICS leak found on xda

Now I'm on 672.180.310.XT910.Fido.en.CA (baseband U_1C.76.FBP)

The question is: can i install a custom ROM on my 1st partition with BootMenu?

I understand the tutorial of installing custom Roms on the 2nd partition and living out of it allright but i don't need 2 OS's...

Another thing to ask is how can i change the radio and will it be checked by the bootloader (if i understnd it correctly the bootloader checks the signature of certain partitions for the correct region/carrier checksums).

Once more thank you for your patience with me. I just need to get used with the thought of having locked bootloader and come up with ways of making it work for me...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Sure, you can install an Custom on your first System. But you have to install the Hijack over System Keeper in Recovery, if you flash on Main System.

Look@ the screens, i flashed the Widow on 1st and the Axiom on 2nd System.

And yes, you can flash Radios in the Recovery since V0.2.7. But i'm not sure, if you can flash an EU on an Fido Rom. You can try it with the BP.img out of the last EU Update.

I only tried different EU Radios till now and it worked flawless.

All @ your own Risk, as Usual ;)

I have a major problem...

I have a GSM Droid Razr. The wifi connectivity on ICS AsiaRetail sucks. Could not download package files after installing BootMenu.

So, decided to flash unofficial GSM CM9 (using BootStrap). Then, installed BootMenu. Wiped BootStrap...

Got error message, "Clean Preinstall partition". Checked preinstall folder, it was empty. So, gave it 777 permission.

Then, I could download hijack packages for BootMenu.

After that, as the video instructed, I rebooted to custom recover... Have been stuck in a bootloop since...

What should I do now?

Downloading RSD EU version now... should I go for it or do I have to flash AsiaRetail?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] bigbalaboom:
@ HSD-Pilot, I finally got the webtop partition mounted and formated, but slightly different with the method you provided.

I did a backup of my 1st system (Chinese ICS). Fast backup, so it does not backup the webtop partition (even though it does not exist).

I flashed the EU ICS firmware as 1st system, and fastboot-flashed the webtop_signed which is extracted from a GB firmware. (I just couldn't get webtop_signed flashed on a Chinese ICS)

For testing purpose, I didn't install a custom ROM, instead, I followed whirleyes's instruction and cloned the EU ICS and restored it onto 2nd system.

And then I restored the Chinese ICS to 1st system.

Now I should have Chinese ICS on 1st system and EU ICS on 2nd system, and I ticked custom init on both systems.

However, things don't go the way I expected. No matter I choose 1st or 2nd system, the phone boots to the 1st.

And idea why this is happening?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
Disable Custom init on one of the Systems.

I was talking to bigbalaboom. He got 2 Stock Roms installed and they can be booted without 2nd init.

I don't know what Rom you try to boot, but if it's an CM9/AOKP-based you need the 2nd init.

Even if I've converted it already? Sorry for the questions, but I'm trying out BootMenu and I was using Safestrap. I've found that BootMenu is much more practical in terms of preventing brick.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pedrotorresfilho:
Check your rom instructions. Like, flash rom/gapps/wipe cache-dalvik (if you do a not indicated factory reset will not boot either)

after flashing a rom according to the dev instructions. do not start your 2nd system. instead, go 1st system and disable 2nd-init the reboot and go 2nd.

Most roms requires a factory reset/wipe data n cache prior installing it.

Check your rom installation procedure. As you saw, bootmenu is working.

BTW, whats the rom you're trying to flash?

Cheers
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
I haven't used Bootmenu so I don't know what the typical install instructions are and I'm testing out my own custom ROM, its Blur based.

Steps I took to flash and what I did to try and make this work:

Converted ROM with all the boxes checked, as the ROM was made for Safestrap.

Formatted /webtop

Switched to second system recovery

Wipe data, cache, and dalvik

Installed, the ROM, all went fine.

When I tried to boot up there was a black screen and that's it(I know its not the ROM, it flashes in Safestrap just fine.

Booted to first system

Turned on 2nd init

Now it juts boots to the first system, I'm trying the init.mapphone edits now.

I have my CID erased and Chinese ROM running as the 1st system. Aslo I have MIUI installed as 2nd system (before I flashed official Chinese ROM). So, I cannot boot to 2nd system. If I set 2nd init for 2nd system then 1st one boots. If I leave it as it is (w/o setting 2nd fot the 2nd system) it boots nothing. It is possible to use 2nd system with erased CID?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
I got the 2nd System failure after flashing back from the new chinese Leak to en.eu. Seems like there's no webtop partition (or adress to it) on the System anymore.

My Solution was to fastboot an GB webtop_signed and delete the files on it again through BM. After that i was able to use/boot the 2nd System again and restore my FTS Nandroid on it.

BTW: My CID is messed up, too. So yes, you can use the 2nd System without an CID.

Sent from my XT910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Well I tried your method (I flashed GB webtop and formatted this partition via BM later) but it didn't work for me. I think the reason is my MIUI ROM hasn't custom init set up. I was using it with official Canadian Rogers ROM as the 1st system, so my cid wasn't erased (my phone is Latam). Then I erased cid, installed Chinese ROM and since that time I cannot boot my 2nd ROM. I think I should somehow set up custom unit for 2nd system manually but I don't know how. Does your 2nd system have custom unit enabled in BM settings?

UPD: Yeah, I made it boot, hooray! I set custom init for the 2ND system off and chose BP Tools, then hit Another ICS ROM. But how to setup custom init correctly?

UPD2: Crap. It eats battery. How do Chinese run MIUI on their devices I wonder?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] HSD-Pilot:
When i flashed the MiUi some times ago on the chinese Fastboot, i had the same Problem with battery drain. It's related to the Kernel. Flash it on an EU Kernel and the Problem is solved.

I guess your Android System eats like 20% off battery in statistics.

BTW: I forgot to say > Only one of the 2 Systems can boot with Custom init. When you set it on booth of them, you will just boot your Main Rom. But you figured it out by yourself ;)
