Re: [TUT]Get whirleyes BMM 0.3.2 working on our a2

Use a zip opener like 7zip. Extract /system/bootmenu/2nd-boot. Rename it to kexec. Go into the folder and rename zImage to kernel. Using 7zip, open the rom zip and goto /system/etc. Now drag and drop it into the zip.
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
This is interesting, just a minor clarification. Rename the 2nd-boot folder to kexec, then copy the renamed kexec folder to /system/etc/ is that correct. By doing this I don't have to run the BMM patch, right?

Thank you.

EDIT: I am getting this error msg, when I try to copy the kexec to /system/etc

0 Error: Duplicate filename:

Re: [TUT]Get whirleyes BMM 0.3.2 working on our a2

Don't extract everything. Just drag and drop the 2nd-boot folder onto your desktop.

Your downloaded file is corrupted. Try downloading again.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Thanks & then I have to follow steps 2 thru 6 & bear in mind the tips you mentioned in the OP correct even for 0.3.4, Correct?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Re: [TUT]Get whirleyes BMM 0.3.2 working on our a2

Yup.. pretty much. Note 2 in op is not applicable. (I never could run any rom on it though).
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
I copied only the renamed kexec folder and I am still getting some duplicate file error messages. Will it be possible for you make a patch for this ROM as well?

Thank you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Query

Thanks & sorry but I am bit confused when you say "Note 2 in op is not applicable" - ??

All steps follow subsequently on the basis point 2 right? Also you mentioned in OP in point 2 "Our phone does not have a partition for internal storage.. so we use the data partition for it.. To do so, just open a root browser like root explorer and navigate to /etc/bmm/conf" - But in JB 4.1.2 leak 1 there is Internal Storage /MNT/EXTERNAL1 - so is there any change of procedure specifically for JB 4.1.2 stock? I am asking questions so that I don't mess up.

Also really appreciate if you can guide how I can backup my system.img beforehand as well as the CID before I install BMM. Thanks!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
No, you are talking about step 2. I was talking about the part where I said system 2 is cdrom partition and wont boot.. and about the sdcard, your internal sdcard is on /data/media and external sd is ext. No other changes are required.. for backing up cid, in a shell or terminal emulator, type

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p19 of=/mnt/external1

HELP

Ravikiran, please help

I ran in to the same problem as above. What I did was first uninstall my Atrix2 Bootstrapper by Nito, restarted phone & then downloaded & installed BMM 0.3.4 from Play then instead of starting I tried to locate BMM folder in etc but it was not present and then I clicked on BMM in the app drawer & I don't u/s why it asked to install which I did when I got above error & since I had no option but to hit uninstall i got a new error message "Uninstallation failed! Critical error! /system/bin/logwrapper is broken, don't power off phone until a good logwrapper is installed. Go get help & I have yet to click the ok button.

Please help, what do I do now, inspite of checking repeatedly I got busted, this is my only phone :crying: Waiting for your reply! Thanks!

IMPortant info

Thank you all who have helped me extensively on PM, really appreciate it.

This is just to inform any of you who are not aware that if you've had Atrix 2 Bootstrapper by Nitro (& possibly any other recovery as well) & even if you uninstall the old recovery it had already altered your logwrapper.bin file which persists & which BMM checks as a pre-install verification causing install to fail & throw up a "critical logwrapper.bin error, don't reboot - go get help" message. Ravi provided me a unmodified logwrapper.bin file which did help me to uninstall BMM correctly but I believe it can come to use of anyone looking to install BMM 0.3.4 on A2 on JB 4.1.2 if you have a another recovery installed but have not yet installed BMM (Ravi, pls correct me if I am wrong) have attached the file herein. Also if anyone bootloops first action is fxz pronto w/out any delay else you may get in to dreaded low battery in Fastboot while fxz'ing & then Mcgruvyer method or another A2 battery is the only last resort to fxz. Hope this helps anyone concerned.

When I go into the /ext/bmm/conf folder the recovery.fstab flie says rw-r--r--. I am fairly new at this. Could you point me in the right direction to changing read/write permission.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
The file permissions are right... you need to mount the /system rewritable (rw) - in root explorer it's a little toggle switch at the top of the screen when you are in the proper place (/system). Not sure about other file explorers, but it's probably similar

I got stuck at the rethink possible screen after messing with the fonts through font installer app so I tried to restore through this apps recovery feature and the backup I had just made today. It said that the recovery failed and it deleted my backup. But when I rebooted I was able to boot back to the OS but it had factory reset my phone as well. Also any mods I had done were undone and some files were gone from the SD card were gone(titanium backup files and backups of the tether permissions files) but none of my music or photos were gone. Did I do anything wrong or is this how it is supposed to function?

Error while making a backup image of /data

I have installed BMM ver 0.3.4 on JB 4.1.2 leak 1 following instructions as per OP & now when I am trying to Full back up all goes fine of back up of pds, system but then when it gets to the stage of backing up data it goes on until it reaches "backing up data.img" & finally exits with a message of " error while making a backup image of /data". I tried twice by first deleting the backup made on first error but yet same issue and finally I tried by doing selective backup wherein I selected all fields individually but again same issue. While doing this format selected is .tar & location is /ext (external storage) & on System 1. Also tried using 'Fast backup' but same problem, How do I resolve this? Just to advise, I already have a separate Nandroid backup from earlier A2 Bootstrap recovery in the CWM folder & don't know if this is causing issue (prolly not). Haven't tried DUP format.

Also the time in BMM shows wrongly as 2.5 hours ahead? Can this be rectified?

Sorry if this is already covered and I have missed it.

EDIT - Also tried DUP format & tried Full back up & same error but this time last file being back up'ed was 'DHCP' - Can anyone help?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Mostly you don't have sufficient space on sdcard. And if you have some system on 3 or 4 or any other, those systems will get included in your backup. That increases your data backup size. Fast backup includes backup of data. So same reason again. Regarding the time, android and pretty much any os has a system time and a local time. i.e., your local time is determined using the time zone. (the phone you have was imported (mostly from Singapore)). And bmm is showing system time. Which is the standard time of the place it was manufactured (in your case Singapore). As of now I don't know how it can be changed.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Noted, & while the backup was being started I had 2.9 gb free on my card & each new retry I deleted the earlier incomplete backup. I just went in to log & saw the following :

"error "copying" blob . /clockworkmod/virtual/system_3/data.img

error "storing" . /clockworkmod/virtual/system_3/data.img

& a lot of other lines.

I'll try deleting my earlier CWMR Nandroid made using A2 bootstrap to freeup some space & try again & report back. Thanks Ravi!

issue solved

Moved stuff & started off with 11,026 mb & did full back up & separately CID backup & now down to 7078 mb (almost 4 gb backup tar file size- phew) My system is freshly fxz'ed w/out any much apps installed except default stock Jb & neither do I have any other ROM's installed on other slots. Also before this backup though I had deleted incomplete backup there was a blobs folder approx 2.4 gb which I deleted & oddly the back arrow button was missing in the interface which had me puzzled how to reboot but pressed the area & it came on. Few questions I had finally :

1) Is it ok to backup kernel.img?

2) Would appreciate if could be advised while having stock JB 4.1.2 leak 1 as System 1 which other ROM's (besides the 4 chinese JB specific ROM's) can be installed on my system (I mean is stock ICS, Numa, SCV7, Miui, PA which are all ICS based ROM's - can they be installed since I am running JB stock?)

How to access Aroma File Manager?

I installed Aromafm-1.80 zip via Boot Menu Manager app by flashing from documents folder in ext sd card & it installed correctly & then I had a look around the app & exited & then I rebooted in to BMM & clicked the Filemanager & Console tab but it is giving aromafm missing in clockwork folder. I assumed BMM would & even Aroma by itself install to the required default location but I am facing above issue and neither can I figure out how to access AromaFM without using BMM as well. Can anyone advise?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Keep the aromafm.zip in /sdcard/clockworkmod
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
Yeah I figured would amount to that but since right now aroma is already installed via zip flashed thru BMM (thru the earlier ' documents' folder in sdcard), would simply moving the aromafm.zip to /sdcard/clockworkmod be ok in the current installed state?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Yes. Its absolutely ok. You may also want to copy the aromafm.zip.cfg to the same place if you don't want to start over with the intro stuff.
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
I did as above & still did not work out so I installed zip once again, this time from the clockworkmod folder & got this :

Install from zip complete

Installing BMM to main system...(Force mode)

& when I clicked on filemanager & console tab got this again :

/*/clockworkmodmod/aromafm.zip can't be found

Just a note, in Aroma when I checked the settings under 'Mount Config', it is set to 'None' by default against the other option of 'Automount all devices on start'

Puzzled & yet looking to resolve this!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
Oh wait! Just remembered.. you are on jb leak right? Keep the aromafm.zip in /mnt/external1/clockworkmod i.e., it should be in external sdcard.
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
So if i copy the system\bootmenu\2nd-boot to system\etc after renaming 2nd-boot to kexec and zImage to kernel would i be able to install and run BMM on an already running CM10.1 or CM10??? What will happen to the defy recovery??? Will it be inaccessible or would i be able to enjoy two recoveries or none of them?

Just to make it clear i'm not talking about a fresh install.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
I wouldn't recommend you to try that. Bmm checks for size a file called logwrapper. When your recovery is something like cm defy, the log wrapper will be different.. so bmm won't recognize it as it expects a stock ICS logwrapper. That might cause unnecessary trouble.. and why do you want both recoveries? That's kinda pointless and impossible..
[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Getting both recoveries isn't my aim.Getting ROMs which can't be flashed with BMM as my 1st system and other ROMs on 2nd or 3rd systems is my aim.Like say CM10.1 on system 1 and PA on system 2 and so on so forth.

Any ideas/solutions/suggestions are welcome.

I If I remember correctly, I know that the safestrap discussion was dropped because boot menu is more performance inclined with using internal memory as the virtual environment. Maybe it is time that we look into it again. I know that we have been discussing the black screens and the reasoning behind it being slightly different hardware configuration correct. I I love boot menu, use it constantly and it has saved me i don't know how many bricks.

Isn't the data partition stored on the Internal memory of the phone in data/clockworkmod ?
[Motorola Atrix 2] colourfuldays:
thanks !!

i have learned it !
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Ok.. I have something that's been bugging me about using BMM and multiple systems, which I would like to figure out.

So, recently I have been running aospa with BMM as first system, and when I would install another ROM on 3rd system (500MB system, 650MB data, 300MB cache), I would get a "low data storage" warning notification on my first system ROM (followed by Gapps and everything FC'ing eventually). So, I would wipe data for system 1, destroy the partitions and re-install a ROM on system 3, and the low storage message would still pop up on System 1.

So, what I found was happening is that the /data/media folder is filling up with multiple virtual cache.img's for System_1 (I could enter the /data/media/0 folder like 32 times, each one containing a cache.img with a different date). And that folder is not wiped when you do a data wipe/factory reset.. So I just deleted everything inside of /data/media manually and now I have my storage space back..

I have not really looked into it too much yet, as I just found out what was happening.. But, any idea why it's happening, or how to prevent it?

Well, the /data/media is mounted as internal sdcard in hktw ROMs. So its not formatted. I too once had that kinda issue, not 32 0 folders but about 4. I was on jb leak so I thought it was related to that. It hasn't happened again though.. regarding the blobs folder, the dup type of backup (not the tar) creates them. I mean, tar type creates one file for a partition in the backup folder. The dup works in some other way.. if you use this, the files for system backup and a others are of sizes less than an mb. And the blobs folder contains all the data. And as to why it got that big, my guess is you tried to make a backup of 1st system and the images of other system present in /data/clockworkmod/virtual were included in it. Its a good idea to change the type to tar. Its present in backup settings.. also the virtual system images should be backed up manually, deleted, then a backup of 1st system should be made..

[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:

[Motorola Atrix 2] deveshmanish:
Well that's not quite true we do have access,it actually depends on what you term as "internal".But it's always safe to have the backup on an external storage.

Yes that is how you can make a backup of your system.

If you're using BMM 0.3.4 you can't install anything on system 2.However you can install any ROM on system 3 and above.

Now the thing that wiping data from system 1 will wipe all the ROMs is correct.But once you boot into the recovery you'll have an option to switch systems.You can wipe the data on any system other than system 1 witouth affecting other ROMs.

It's already covered in OP

The exact theoretical difference even I'm not sure but the result of tar format backup is that it creates single image files of the partitions you backup.While the dedupe creates multiple blob files along with the image files but the image files in dedupe format are a few KBs the real size is occupied by the blob files.My preference go for tar.

They are for the different options you wanna allow or disallow while being on any system if you uncheck kexec it won't support kexec and so on.Yeah you better leave them on.

The internal memory.

Again read the OP.

In case you mess up with your CID that happens when you play around with you phone and try to flash other devices ROMs and unknowingly you flash CID too which corrupts your CID,

I didn't quite get you.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Ravikirancg:
just one thing.. there is no activate anymore in 0.3.4. just leave that system. also not a good idea to backup data on system 1 if you have roms on other systems. it will include the other systems as well and makes your backups humoungous..
