I meant to fix the current bugs and make it compatible with other devices. I wouldn't feel comfortable using an updated version by anyone that didn't have a detailed knowledge of how recoveries work. The ideal candidate would be amarullz, the developer of the Aroma installer, since he would have to know all that stuff. My suggestion would be to send a single PM to all the developers I've mentioned, and you could use agrabren as the contact for TWRP. Maybe if they see that other developers have the opportunity to take on the project one of them will step up. ;)

Regarding open source, making it available to the community doesn't mean all the releases are of equal quality, just as with kernels and ROM's. Maintaining an app like Boot Manager is a lot of work, and I don't think too many people would choose to take that on. A team like TWRP would be ideal if they have the time and interest.

8. NAND - back it up, again

Should I back it up in the program or do backup in cmd?

I used CyanogenMod 10 Disarmed Toaster and my evo 3d always stay at htc logo.

hboot 1.49.0007
[HTC EVO 3D] Sora1995:
Use recovery to create the backup. Backup = NAND. Also, Boot Manager has issues with Jelly Bean, so don't expect mobile data to work if you get it loaded.

urgent help pls.... stuck in a boot loop

pls urgent help.....

i got tuck in boot loopp

i followed all steps well

but i remember that when i installed viper as my 2nd rom with ext4,bks i hv ext4 on my card it was saying"boot in to empty slot".

and i did boot..

but i stuck in boot loop

but i got saved my nand backup.

why i was asking me to "boot on empty slot of rom"???? after instaling

pls help
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
you mustnt have clicked the notification in the status which takes you to bootmanager, just boot into recovery, install zip, then select the update.zip, from your bootmanager/phone rom folder, then reboot, wipe the slot you tried to install the second rom, then try again
[HTC EVO 3D] mars28:
I was using this app on Desire Z, most of Android 2.3.x ROMS worked, and only 2 or 3 Android 4.x ROMS (MIUI from March 2012 & Virtuos Quattro) booted right after installing with BootManager (Desire Z wasn't officially ICS supported).

And now on my Evo3D many ROMs works, I've tried 15 or 16 different ROMS, 10 of them boot normally (only mwakious took at least 10 minutes to boot, I was near to pull out battery and suddenly I saw lockscreen, next boot was normal, 1 minute or something). All ROMs were installed as ZIP. I have to try restoring those non-working ROMs from NAND backup, but it's more time consuming so, at least for now, I passed.

Only one ROM gives me a headache, it's my daily ROM, latest official MIUI. I think the problem lies in size of boot.img, it's over 16MB (while most of other ROMs, including other MIUI releases, has boot.img below 4MB). I tried restoring from NAND and still no luck. I get "install complete" message, but boot.img in rom1 folder has only 4kB (and it should be over 17MB).

Someone tried this ROM with luck? Any suggestions?

I wonder if those ~400kB of data added to original boot.img when it is installed in slot are exactly the same for all ROMs? Are they added at the beginning or at the end of the file, or maybe they are mixed? Could someone check this? I'm not good in HEX editing.
[HTC EVO 3D] Snoob25:
miui has a signed HBOOT, you have to flash another kernel (i suggest Anryl's) with the app FlashImageGUI, then go in recovery and flash as always the kernel you prefer, make a nandroid, and then install from backup with bootmanager ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] mars28:
I couldn't try that yesterday due to low phone memory problems. It looks like Boot Manager uses phone memory while installing ROM to SD. Anyway, I've had only ~100MB free yesterday, and when I tried to install ROM, after some time got install error and message about low phone memory, was only 3MB free. So I restarted the phone, but available memory hasn't changed. Then I moved some aps and games to SD and when memory was above 100MB, I tried to install another ROM, and had the same problem again. So I've moved to SD everything I could and now I only have 40MB free. Anyone knows where I can find Boot Manager "temp" folder to manually delete it and get my free space back?
[HTC EVO 3D] Snoob25:
that's not a temp folder, every sd rom slot (even if it's not working) uses 2GB! open bootmanager and delete unused slots
[HTC EVO 3D] mars28:
I know that. I'm saying about internal phone memory, not about free SD card space.
[HTC EVO 3D] Snoob25:
sorry my bad, try to clear bootmanager data and cache from settings/apps if it's possible, otherwise try to check folder dimensions with a file manager, it could be boring but should work! or wipe cache from recovery, maybe it works! these are just some ideas, because i never experienced this problem! good luck ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
ive always had a problem with the ics version of miui on a slot rom, but as i remember the jb was fine, and the miui was working if you pushed another kernel which re edits the boot img, then as suggested previously flash again your desired kernel
[HTC EVO 3D] mars28:
I've tried everything, cleaning cache, dalvik, empty trash in Boot Manager, still no luck. I remember I had such problem once on Desire Z, and only restoring NAND backup helped. But I don't have one this time. I didn't suspect such thing after installing at least 15 ROMS to slot1 with no problems, and I'm pretty sure I've had ~100MB free phone memory that day.

So anyway, the app is great, I was thinking about buying the full version, but I know the app was dropped by the devs, so I think there won't be any support or refund if something goes wrong.

I've only had 2 major problems with this app so far - something ate my phone memory yesterday, and the second one happened, when one of the ROMs (I didn't notice which one) cleaned my "Android" folder on SD card while booting from slot, and made his own empty "Android" folder, so I've lost 10 GB of data.
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
ive never experienced anything like that, the only major issues are full jelly bean support, but without dev work or official jb for this device it doesnt look possible
[HTC EVO 3D] mars28:
I don't blame app for this, it happened due to low free space in my phone memory. For me, it looks like it is being used while installing ROM in slot. And because the install process was interrupted, it hasn't cleaned that space. Now I only have to find a way to get it back.
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
ah i see, have u used a rooted explore and deleted the hidden .android secure folder from the empty slot ? have you moved all poss apps 2 sd ?
[HTC EVO 3D] mars28:
Yes, I moved all possible apps and games to SD, I had to do this 2 or 3 times, but it was almost 200MB together. And now I have only 40 MB free in phone internal memory. Before it happened, I've had ~100MB free, with those 200MB which I've then moved to SD. So it looks like I have at least 250MB of useless data in phone's internal memory. Or maybe that free space is there, but system shows it wrong.
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
have you gone into androids app settings sorting by size and clearing the caches and/or data of the top few highest file size apps
[HTC EVO 3D] mars28:
As I said, I've cleaned all I could. Never mind, sooner or later I'll have to reinstall MIUI and everything should go back to normal.

EDIT: I've reinstalled MIUI, restored exactly the same apps & games, and now I have over 300MB free internal phone memory.

Second Rom: CyanogenMod 10.2 - Jellybean 4.3

Booting the second ends in a Bootloop... Tried with installing the Rom via Zip and als via Restore. Installing is working in Boot Manager Lite, but boot not.

I tried it several time's and made all the thousands of Nand-Backups as mentioned in the Introduction...

Please Help!

Cool ics requires differenr hboot which you have and aosp roms requires a different one. They cannot boot on same hboot.

Hi, everyone!

I recently came to this forum after my LG Optimus 3D "drowned"! I was happy to find this thread but then I was quite disappointed to see that it's abandoned. Anyway, I managed to dual-boot my Evo3D GSM using more or less the same method I was using on my Optimus. It's not as easy as using Boot Manager and it doesn't offer Multiboot, but it works quite well. I am currently dual booting ICS NonSense v4.0 and LiquidSmooth KitKat. If enough people are interested I could start a new thread with simple instructions and scripts that will automate most of the procedure. You can even do all this directly from your phone without ever using a PC if that's what you want!
[HTC EVO 3D] Snoob25:
i abandoned multi boot when i saw that on JB rom battery level was stuck at 66% :(

if you are interested this app should be now open source, maybe it will be useful :)

this should be the link https://github.com/init2winitapps
[HTC EVO 3D] dreccon:
Thanks but I'm not a coder. Best thing I can do is bash scripts, so I can't edit this app or build another one. Actually, I was thinking of using Unity to build a front-end for my scripts but I simply don't have the time to learn that either. Nevertheless, scripts have done the job fine for the Optimus 3D. On the Evo I have plans to make it even easier (if enough people are interested).

[HTC EVO 3D] mahg:
Hi gav83collins and wellcome back.

I'm allways getting an 'Error downloading files' message whenever I try to start the app

Tried with and without WiFi.

Some suggestion?
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
can you be a little more specific, what do you mean, what files ???? its been a while since ive done this and i gotta wait for delivery my evo
[HTC EVO 3D] mahg:
The application tries to download some files just when the application starts, but I get the attached screen.

It suggests to disable WiFi, but the same occurs.

I'm on ICS NonSense 4.0 ROM
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
No don't disable wifi. And make sure your signed in at Google play store too. I think that's it. As I say I'm gonna flash 10 rons again. Once I get mine and it will all come back to me. I've flashed a thousand roms since then and my memory ain't the greatest
[HTC EVO 3D] mahg:
I'm using WiFi and of course, I've signed in Google Play. I downloaded it from there but I still get the same error.

I'll try to flash another ROM and try again.
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
oh, hmmmmm, i just tried to watch my nino boot video, for a re cap, but its unavailable because i got banned on the account i uploaded the video from,,,,,,

are you booted in the phone rom, when setting up the second ???
[HTC EVO 3D] mahg:
I can't even enter in settings. After dimiss the error message, the app closes.

Trying another ROM in a few minutes...
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
I have a boot manager. Set up files in my collection. Maybe if I upload them you can manually place the. What you think won't be till later though I'm a bit busy
[HTC EVO 3D] mahg:
Ok. No rush. Take your time and thx in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
ok im back, took a while for my phone to arrive, but its here and im back rocking bootmanager, (my gsm evo 3d, has a red camera outline btw)

anyway as to your problem, i think the server in which bootmanager stored its files has been shut down, i tried a few different things but was only successfull, restoring data from a titanium back up, which i kept, files are in attachments

try restoring them with titanium back up, then restarting bootmanager, worked for me, let me know how u get on

Sorry budd, I missed that, yeah s-on/off isn't relevant, or recovery, as long as you do have recovery, to nand, at the recommended steps. But. It's all fully accessible without a recovery, and u can get around using smart flash, with flashimage GUI

When i recovery the NAND the Phone will start MIUI.

[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
the phone will boot back into which ever rom you was in, when you created the nand
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
not neccesarily baked into the rom, but you will need to flash the gapps zip, once you have flashed the rom,

delete the boot.img on the root of your sd card, and the bootmanager folder, then set up the boot manager app again

Got one question however, after going through all the steps I'm not able to access my music, photos, videos etc which were already in my SD from before I did this. It just says that there is nothing being detected when I open gallery on the sense 3.6 rom that I have in my additional slot. Any ideas why? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] mat738:
I believe that the dual boot process formatted your SD card! :eek:

No everything is still there, I mounted it and verified but when I try to open a file eg: music or photo, it cannot even be detected.
[HTC EVO 3D] Roca22:
Hi, if you delete slot ROM1 or ROM2....., nothing succeed, if you initiated the phone rom. Well if an error occurs and you can not start in the mobile rom, you must flash the update.zip file. You find it in SD / bootmanager / phoneRom / update.zip

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Hi, I think it is problem of rom you have installed on your SD. I have problems with some rom, but usually work well. You could also check that you installed type ext2 or ext4 partition and if your sd supports those partitions.

[HTC EVO 3D] Sora1995:
Alright guys. I have been working with this app for quite some time (back when it was only supporting a handful of phones) and I can say this: Any AOSP based ICS or JB ROM will not charge or have data at the very least. I've used this app on numerous ROMs. It isn't the kernel, but rather something missing inside the app itself that will not allow it to charge, have data, or anything else that is missing. Also, as of right now, the development of the app is on hold as there is a transition between devs and the app itself is on the back burner. So don't expect it to work with things like Devil Toast or AOKP JB. You'll be missing data and/or charging capabilities, if not more.
[HTC EVO 3D] Roca22:
It's correct, JB not support. ICS and GB working well.
[HTC EVO 3D] gav83collins:
I've had jellybean working fine as a secondary Rom, the only bugs that were present, were the ones in the actual Rom,

But to verify. I'm gonna reflash. And upload screen shots

Ubuntuz 0.5 jb, is installing now........

Installed, just having to re download gapps, before I can confirm

How stupid do I look, lol. I'm certain, 100% I was dual booting ics and jb, together, I've just spent 2 hours, and after booting into jb, I didn't have root, and couldn't install the cwm full root zip because I couldn't open bootmanager without a data/network connection, and WiFi wouldn't turn on, as for not charging, yeah that isn't working, either, but it was, I'm sure of it

I don't know what's happened, but again, I'm certain, WiFi definetly did work before, I'm gonna try again tomorrow, but this time flashing root zip straight after gapps and searching for an alternate kernel to flash

Watch this space
