Sense 4 ports require a ton of hackery to work the way they work now. Earlier versions used to work with boot manager, but since Virus got super duper creative with his init scripts and tweaks all over the /system/ partition, boot manager doesn't know what to do with itself. Install Viper3d as the phonerom, then do Evolver as rom 1.

Also, Gav, you ONLY need to back up the /boot partition. A full backup is not required as boot manager doesn't do anything to the system, and ontop of that, boot manager does that itself the first time you run it. The boot backup is stored in /sdcard/BootManager/phoneRom/boot.img

So if you ever run into problems, pull the battery, boot to hboot, select recovery, and flash the update.zip inside the phoneRom directory. It writes your backed up boot image.
[HTC EVO 3D] invince2:
It is continuously giving error "can't create boot.img" what to do !!
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
are you s-off ????

delete the file bootimg.img off the root of your sd card, and try again
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
hmmmmmm, how long you waiting (i know you aint a dumbass,lol) just asking ???

which rom are you booting when it freezes ???

really, nice one, im famous lol ha haha, yeah i knew about the back up scenario. but as an added precaution, and to save extra posts, its easier to just back up the lot, in case of a fault/power cut/or corrupted sd card

thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] phikal:
Left the phone for 10 minutes to boot but kept hanging on the first bootscreen.

Guess mynames remark about virus sense 4 has a point but i dont wanna put Evolver as second rom.

Will experiment some more later on. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
I wouldnt have thought init.d should make a difference, have you tried cutting all init.d to an alternate folder, boooting, then pasting them back (if it boots of course)
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
I am now dual booting ics and jb , successfully,

[HTC EVO 3D] Sora1995:
You can dual boot just fine. The question is... Will it charge? And do you have data? Does your battery stay at 66%?
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
I'll check later, I'm now working, but to be honest I don't care, about data, I have wifi, the jb is secondary Rom and not a daily driver........but,

I have a stable jb on an EVO 3d , its still early days, we can't expect to much to soon
[HTC EVO 3D] rapproduca:
Followed the instructions carefully and received no error but now the app says that my ROM is not installed at all. But in my SDcard it shows that it is in fact installed tho I see no boot.IMG it only shows system data and cache could that be it??
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
All you have to do, is go to phone Rom screen, and click, setup phone
[HTC EVO 3D] rapproduca:
Sorry I wasn't clear but the SD ROM won't boot. My current ROM boots just fine
[HTC EVO 3D] phonghoangka:
do i need 2ext or 4ext part on SDcard to make it work ?
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
That will depend on compatibility of the Rom, although most support 4ext now , just check the roms op before deciding
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Did you get any errors while setting it up. ? Did you check md5 sums of the Rom ? Is the Rom bootable as a standard Rom ?
[HTC EVO 3D] Snoob25:
i often get an error like "can't create boot.img", and then the rom won't be recognised as installed... i only could get working venom sense 4 and cm10 by agraben! anyone could run miui from sd?? or that error is related with the d.init in those non working rom??
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:

Hello. I have a problem.I have installed lite version of this app but when I boot into sdcard rom.I cant open app.Because on play store it shows boot manager pro installed.So every time I have to delete the boot manager pro and install lite version again to fix this problem.Is there anything to fix this?
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Yeah , uninstall pro, install lite, back up in titanium, then delete backup of pro,

I had that problem ages ago, but I bought the app recently
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Can someone uploade the update.zip from sdcard/bootmanager/phonerom . mine is corrupted . i need it so i can modify it to get back to phone rom
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
That won't work doing that may brick your device, just restore your latest back up, and you will be back in your phone Rom, then set up phone Rom again and it will re overwrite the corrupted boot.IMG

Hi buddy,

Help me i have a problem!

When i trying to install second OS in dual boot on my HTC Evo 3d (with original ROM 4.0.3) from that link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764323. After installation on second os fineshed in Boot Manager Lite, i click boot on slot 1 and after reboot my phone cant start, just constantly restarts after the first htc logo. I have a backup make with CWM 5.0.2.0 and try to restore but no change. Please help me
[HTC EVO 3D] tankata:
Problem solved,

after cleanup everyting (wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, factory reset) and restore backup with CWM everything is OK. The problem is that JB ROM 0.7 from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1764323 is still under construction.
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Some people are having issues with certain roms, the best way around it is to set up all roms on phone Rom slot (main) then back up, restore your original Rom to maim, boot, the. Restore nands of other set up roms to other slots
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
I can confirm that...

Boot manager doesn't like to install a single JB or CM ROM on my phone...

I only managed to install MIUI, but that didn't work out perfect because it was in half Chinese.

When I tried to install JB by Agraben, my phone just froze, until it restarted the Hot Shell...

I'll try your method now!
[HTC EVO 3D] Snoob25:
i could boot agraben's cm10 even without restoring a nandroid, just flashing the rom and gapps before booting it for the first time! but i noticed a looong first boot time!

i tried to get miui working from sd, but i couldn't, even with nandroid restore, always having a error about editing HBOOT! i'll try again when i'll have enough time
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
It's strange we all have different issues I couldn't for the life of my flash cm10 successfully on any slot but main, I was setting up boot manager for 21 hours straight yesterday
[HTC EVO 3D] fitusv:
Does anyone have an early version of boot manager, couse I just bought the pro version and it doesn't have the install kernel option, the new pro version on google play only has install zip and restore backup, but it does not have the option to install kernel, and their forum is dead, no response to my emails at all, thanks in advance
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Installing a zip is the same as installing a kernel, but any kernel with aroma won't flash on any slot, if that's what you want to flash, install via recovery making sure your booted to main Rom, then restoring/installing the Rom you want to flash the new kernal to in recovery, back it up, then restore the Rom you want as mine through recovery, boot, then in boot manager install zip selecting restore nandroid, selecting the Rom u just flashed the new kernel too
[HTC EVO 3D] fitusv:
Ok, let me try to understand you, so I basically I have to install / flash the Rom and kernel I want to try as a normal install using recovery, then make a nandroid backup of the room and kernel that I just flashed and boot the Rom and then open boot manager chose an empty slot and instead of installing restore the nandroid backup of the room I just installed, correct ?, if this is correct, then why do I need boot manager for ?
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Lol, because without bootmanager uve only got 1 Rom slot, and you only need to use that method if flashing a Rom and/or kernel that uses the aroma installer
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
Because then you can install the nandroid/rom in a second slot, while still having a backup of your own daily ROM as Phone Rom.

So it goes as following:

Backup daily rom -> install backup in Slot 1 -> install new rom on Phone -> switch between phone rom and slot 1 rom =) (or you can just backup your daily rom, install a new rom over your daily rom, back that one up, and install it in Slot 1, and then reinstall your own daily rom on your phone.)
[HTC EVO 3D] fitusv:
Thank you guys, I think I like this idea better, so that way I can actually try a Rom on my actual phone, and if I like it, then I can run it on boot manager
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
How do i change the kernel on the phone rom ? If i do this from recovery will it spoil the dual booting ?
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Yesate just flash in recovery and your slots will remain enchanged

[HTC EVO 3D] sgaheer:
Gav I'm pretty sure at the rate ur going there won't be enough roms left for u to multi boot :D

Great dedication
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Did you set up the roms, and disable "fast boot" ? Making sure root access is granted to boot manager on the Rom ? Aswell ad making sure USB debugging is enabled ? If yes , go to bootmanager folder in a file browser ans delete every file out of all slots except phone Rom, including hiddden file .android secure , and try again

Also, once installed, are you clicking the "complete" notification in notification bar and waiting for the bootmanager app to refresh, and waiting for Su to be granted, before trying to boot
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Im gonna be Octo-booting tomorrow when I finally have my WiFi back and I can download miui v4 GSM

[HTC EVO 3D] fitusv:

[HTC EVO 3D] vanisleguy1976:
Gav, thanks for this tutorial! I tried this app a while ago, but it didn't really work for me then. But with your guide, I'm successfully dual booting (I'm using lite, so no octo for me :p)

I will say that there is a fair bit of lag, but it seems to be settling down over time.

I'm currently running MIUI as my main ROM and Mwakious as my secondary. I'm wondering how Mwakious's OTA updates would be handled in this case? I suppose by backing up both and putting Mwakious as my primary, then running the OTA, then switching back, I could safely update? Hmm... I think I just answered my question :cool:

Oh well! I've spent all this time typing, I'll click submit anyways :p

EDIT: dual boot just isn't good enough! Muhaha... Just upgraded to pro!

A question about SD... Anyone successfully used the SD Booster in the settings? If so, what did you set it to?

edit..nvm, got it working after 2 days of mucking about with it.

EDIT:eek:k ,i flashed the JB rom seperatley ,but what was wrong?bad backup ?? :((((
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
My phone always hangs when installing a rom.

At a certain moment, I can't unlock my phone anymore, and after about fifteen/thirty minutes, my phone just reboots, and I have to put in the pin.

If I then go to Boot Manager Lite, it says that there hasn't been installed a rom (empty).

:(

[HTC EVO 3D] Roca22:
Maybe, I have 3 ROM in the bootmanager:

Slot 1 Leedroid-3D-V5.4

Slot 2 Mwakious

Slot 3 MIUI 3.9.7 ENShooter

Very nice functionality
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
Good to know I'm not the only one...

Can't find any solutions =(
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Hi guys, sorry been away a while,

Right, I've had major issues with my phone recently after flashing the original "banned" chad kernel onto leedroid 5.4 on my phone Rom, lost root, Rom, boot, and recovery

But I'm back, and found a solution to some problems , please re read op, and update/downgrade your hboot with my patch on op

For those finding the app sticks, go accross and clear trash and caches, then in a file browser (root access) go to slot roms and delete all files in there folders, inc .android secure, then check free sd space, if over 1.5gb , try again, making sure in android/bootmanager you have set screen to stay on/stay on during install (if possible up governor frequency of CPU, to make the process faster, or do it all from a stable jb Rom(seems faster))
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
I disabled logging, deleted the entire app, removed every single trace of it (SD card n stuff, trash, cache) and I oc'd my phone to 1,6GHz, and made sure my screen wouldn't go off, and made the SD Booster cache go to 1024kb.

So, while having a fresh start, I tried installing a new rom, Ubuntuz JB AOSP 0.7.2 to be precise.

The installation went on, and after about 5 minutes, my phone reacted very slow, and eventually it even froze. After 5 minutes, it unfroze for 1 second, and then froze again. 3 minutes later, my phone just rebooted, and the rom isn't installed.

Where is the problem? I can't seem to find it, and I can't get any useful information out of the log...
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Did you add the "gapps" to the install que
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
I have the Lite version, and it's not possible to enable that with the Lite version ;)

I'd like to buy the app, but I don't want to get a credit card (I'm 17), just to buy apps...
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
I used a debit card, have you signed into google, and set up your phone Rom, before trying again ? Why don't you restore your current Rom via nandroid to slot 1, then install jb aosp to phone Rom, then back it up, then restore it to slot 1 and your slot 1 Rom back to phone Rom
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
I tried that as well, but my phone freezes and reboots while installing a nandroid as well...

And I'm on my daily phone rom, so I'm signed into Google, and I set up my phone rom with the button in the app as well.
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Which hboot version are you
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
1.49.1107
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Navigate to boot manager folder in sd, in a rooted explorer, and open Rom 1, and delete all files, inc .android secure

Then try again....... I don't know where or how your going wrong. Try rebooting your phone when deleting Rom 1 folder contents
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
Trying again with Ubuntuz rom, it worked for 5 minutes, untill it started: "Extracting rom please wait..."

It's been stuck on that for 3 minutes now, and even the clock isn't changing it's time.

So, do you suggest reverting to HBOOT 1.49.0007?
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
'extracting rom' part does take a really long time, the longest part of the process.

I cannot recall if the clock stopped or not while in this stage of the process
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
Well, it might take a while, but according to my phone, it takes too long, because it keeps rebooting after a while...

edit:

Reverted to 1.49.0007, still the same problems :(

Notification led does still works normally though, keeps blinking.

edit 2:

Okay, and it just rebooted again...

I just don't get it, it looks like my ram just fills up or something, even though I make sure I don't have any other apps running...
[HTC EVO 3D] Snoob25:
just sharing my experience

with bootmanager pro i have less problems about editing boot.img, but i still can't get working official miui, even if team genesis' miui works (15mb boot.img for the official vs 5mb of the other one, the problem lies in there)

and i can't boot cm10 v0.1.6 from sd, it gives me bootloop! v0.1.5 is fine... i "fixed" using v0.1.6 as phone rom :)

i'm s-off with revolutionary, and never changed hboot since then!
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
With official mui i just manually put a boot.img in the rom1 folder (only have free version) and then run yoda kernel version2 installer through bootmanager to sort it all out afterwards.

I wonder if you repack the yoda version 2 installer .zip with official miui boot.img and modules folder, would it work? Yoda's ver2.0 kernel installer just uses a straight boot.img and modules folder.
[HTC EVO 3D] Chadyboy81:
It works with hboot 1.58 I have viper3d main D3rp, zr3d xl, respectively all working set up by restoring nandroid with kernel and mods set whatever rom your currently on is the one you make changes to thru recovery fyi

But, they do boot fine from phone Rom, I am successfully booting all roms in my signature

Depending on data amount in each Rom, it can take upto 30 mins to install a Rom successfully

What Rom is your main Rom ? Have you installed either aokp or aosp successfully on your main Rom ?

Are you making sure its ext4 file system ?
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
I'm running VenomTeam Viper3D Rom 12/9 on GSM, and I have been able to install AOSP CM AOKP, anything via recovery. It's just that Boot Manager crashes my phone after half an hour, and then reboots, while having drained about 50% battery.

I still don't know the solution, and I think I'll try installing nandroids on slot 1 again...
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
Mate, you do realise your running a cdma Rom on a gsm phone, that's where your going wrong. Install a gsm Rom to phone Rom, then try again
[HTC EVO 3D] R3NC0N:
You do realise that it's a multi rom, which supports both GSM and CDMA? ;)

I just installed helicopter88's JB to my phone rom, and tried installing the nandroid (or any other rom) to slot 1, but it keeps telling me it can't write boot.img ;(
[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
edit, already answered.... it's multiboot cdma and gsm... i got it installed on bootmanager, had to do a bit of installer jiggery to get around the aroma installer problem

i'll try installing a rom from it later to see if it's viper3d giving the problem.. which i'm suspecting it is
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
No I didn't realise lol, sorry,

But still, maybe bootmanager can't handle a multi type Rom, the boot images may differ in code, but I'm not expert

I only know what I know from trial and error

[HTC EVO 3D] meangreenie:
Try putting boot.img in the rom1/rom2/whateverslot you are using in the bootmanager folder on the sd card, then try just installing a different kernel to overwrite it, so it fixes it. I used yoda v2.0 kernel on miui and it worked this way.

btw to all.. the hacked full version of this app always gives boot.img error.
