Not sure I really understood the discussion but the thing with Noobdev's rom is pretty simple.

Same zip can be installed as primary or secondary depending on if it find a /system/.dualboot file in primary rom/system

If no (primary then) /system/.dualboot file rom gets installed as primary and so replace your primary rom (its system at least)

If it find the .dualboot file rom gets installed as secondary and then only replace /system/dual/

Of course if you update your primary there's no .dualboot file anymore,you can check it simply with a root file manager before you flash your Noobdev as secondary and even create the file manually, it works every time without issues for me (unless I update or flash another primary rom and forget to check/recreate the file if needed).

---------- Post added at 08:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

My first idea would have been to take a look at DualBootUtilities zip (the multibootutils.sh in its aroma folder) but with Aroma conditions and all it's not easy to understand things for me.

But it's a "dd" command and i still have the SwitchToPrimary and SwitchToSecondary cwm zip that we used in the past,the kernels storage location changed since then so I guess the main command should be:

Switch to primary:

dd if=/raw-data/media/0/MultiKernels/primary.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

Switch to secondary:

dd if=/data/media/0/MultiKernels/secondary.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/boot

Edit: Edited and tested at 09:51 PM,works.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] gaww:
I think we are on the same page - that flashing the primary deletes a needed file that is initially set up by flashing "enable duelboot"..

Easy, safe way it to just reflash enable duelboot each time after reflashing a primary, as it sets up the duelboot needed files again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
OK, I think I missed something - where can I find the 'enable dual boot' zip from please. Also, is it better to use cwm than twrp for this then?

If you're on the latest version of everything, the following command should work:

Unstable

builds of the patcher are now available: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/486665/Snapshots/DualBootPatcher/index.html

These are built automatically within 120 seconds of making a new commit to the source code. They will contain the stuff that I'm currently working on and support for ROMs that haven't made it to a release yet. Don't use them unless you're adventurous and don't care about losing data or screwing up your dual boot setup ;)

The unstable build of the Android app installs alongside the stable version, so it won't affect your ability to use the stable patcher again.

any early support for 4.4 tw in these?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] chenxiaolong:
Possibly (I haven't had a chance to test yet). Rename your file to "a.zip" (or "a.img" if it's a kernel only) to ensure that it's unsupported and then choose these options:

If it doesn't boot, please reboot into recovery immediately, flash Dual Boot Utilities, and choose the save last_kmsg option. It will copy the kernel log from that last boot to the internal storage. Thanks!

failed to extract boot.img

boot.img is in

a.zip/echoe/boot.img

i'll try manually placing it where the patcher expects it, and then moving it back after its patched

---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

ok so to make the beta? build of the patcher recognise the file, i moved the boot.img from the echoe folder to the root folder of the zip, and flashed and then moved that and the dualboot.sh back to the echoe folder, as mentioned in previous post.

installing got stuck here:

system responded to touch, but the clock and battery % froze at the top. no idea if its a problem with philz, the rom, or the dual boot patch.

edit: i ended up leaving two copies of boot.img and dualboot.sh in and flashing a second time, and it installed fine (echoe 4.4TW, v14.1).

i do not know if it was the second flash or the second boot.img that made it work, but it worked!

I use it in a Task and a Tasker profile "OnBoot" active on primary rom.

If I want to boot on primary rom (without reboot into secondary rom) I just have to rename the script... and that's is what i want.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Houndcatcher:
I've just played further and completely wiped and reinstalled Multi1 and that Rom can now see the internal storage fine. I rarely used that one so it wasn't an issue really to do that.

Dual is another kettle of fish because I have Zooper widgets set up on it that I can't save because it will only save them to Internal storage not External :( Unless i'm missing another way to do it :) I can do a full Nandroid backup of that rom I guess but I'm thinking when I restore it it will possibly bring back this issue too? I'm pretty convinced it's a Path/Mount/Link issue but I'm not well enough versed with the file system to see the wood from the trees :)

Could you expand on the above a little more? I tried to duplicate it, and could not. Did you "move" the boot,img as is (zipped), or did you extract everything first, move it, and then re-zip it (I could not move the boot.img in the zipped ROM).

I know I am missing something really basic here, so just need a little help.

[MENTION=5448105]mr wizard[/MENTION],

Frankly I was about to go on a step by step process with you on the thread yesterday as it may helps others as well but thinking about it twice and knowing that it isn't very hard we can think that if you don't understand the very firsts steps you may face difficulties in the future (+ the "please help someone!" addressed to Chenxiaolong didn't really helped ;) )

Sorry i don't want to sound patronizing here, you know even if it's nothing really serious one take little responsabilty when we help/guide someone else especially into something he may not be able to maintain working by himself after. It would hurts to get at the end as only return something like "Thank you very much,it ****ed up my dear installation now I have to reinstall my whole stuffs! Great! " (that said it's really really hard to loose any data,have to reinstall from scratch or whatever with this multiboot solution).

Now that the context is given I feel a little more at ease lol, so your primary Rom is Touchwiz (stock firmware?) and you would want a GE one as secondary?

_Please check the place left you have under /system partition with a root file explorer (or type "df" under terminal emulator and give the result).

_I'm not totally sure about the place needed for a GE rom, should be something like 600mb max but to be sure try to unzip your GE rom (which one is it btw? A stated supported one? ) on PC and check the size of the system folder.It must fit into the place left you have on your /system partition so if it doesn't you'll have to remove some system stuffs from your primary rom (on your phone directly,you could try the app mentioned in OP).

_Your device is T-Mobile then? There's no loki stuffs I guess? (I don't think so but actually I don't get your interrogation about kernel..Anyway let's skip this for now,doesn't really matter I'd say).

_Secondary and multislot rom has to be patched before you flash it that's why they need patcher's support. The Android app is pretty easy to use,you choose dual-boot>point to the location of your GE rom zip (sdcard or sdext,patching process needs little place there also so be sure to have as space left at least something like the size of the zip that will be patched) ,proceed and wait.. Did you tried already? Facing difficulties with that? It fails or something?

Anyway let's check first the needed space left under /system part (just to be sure, not a that harsh constraint usually).

I'm glad I didn't buy a Nexus 7 2013...

Oh wait - I did - two of them - both had the GPS defect. Both returned...

BUT!

I'm waiting to get the Nexus 7 2013 LTE because - and our unhappy non-camper would have known if he'd read ALL the posts - the unhappy ones AND the follow up resolution - the GPS issues have been mostly resolved. The touch screen issue seems under control as well. And unlike the 2012 model, the 2013 lets you tether things to your Nexus 7.

As usual, it's easy to get stuck on the extremes: people who just complain and people who don't want to hear it. Complaints are necessary (when valid) because it puts public pressure on companies to fix their problems and do the right thing. I've long suspected that ASUS' horrible handling of the Transformer Prime fiasco stemmed in part from the negation of the negative comments by people who were essentially cheerleading for ASUS.

And while it's true that a person having a bad experience with a product is more likely to complain than a person having a good one is likely to praise it publically (although I'd point out that that's very much not the case with say.. the iPhone or iPad), companies should realize this is why it's so very, very important to get it right out of the box - or fix it as fast as possible if that fails - or if all else fails, keep the channels of communications open to make sure that your customers know you're working on it.

ASUS gets this wrong far too often and this time, they damaged Google's rep in the process, but in all fairness - Google's closed lipped approach just make things worse.

It's easy to blame the victims here - maybe we should spend a little more time blaming the companies that can't even do basic QA?

I had Rage One v1.0.0 | 1.31.651.2 flashed. I was happy, except the battery was dying way to fast on this ROM.

I use to be able to make it to around 8pm with steady usage with about 40% left (being unplugged at 5am).

After flashing the ROM it was at 80% an hour off the charger.

So today I decided to try a different ROM. I tried flashing Nocturnal GE CDMA|Deodex|4.2.2. To no avail. It would constantly give me an error "android.com.phone crashed" or whatever it was.

So after trying to reflash, it did the same thing.

So I tried OMJ's Sprint ONE ROM | 1.31.651.2 | Deodexed | v1.8.

Now it won't boot passed the HTC One screen...so I can't do anything now. What do I do? How to I get it booted without losing all my data and stuff?

Hi all, thoroughly read the guides in the T999L FAQ guide, rooted and installed CWM successfully (as far as I can see).

Now the hard part. Could not install Pacman Rom, even after fixing asserts. I heard there were two types of asserts. I deleted the ones at the top of the update-script, that look at the device number. Previously I had error 7, now I don't get an error number. Says "Installation aborted". Looking at the log, it says "Can't partition non-vfat: datamedia" and "Cant format unknown volume: /emmx"

Tried flashing CM10 for d2ltetmo and it was able to flash, except no signal/connection. Baseband displays T999LUVMB7 which is the correct one isn't it?

Preferably, I would like to flash Pacman Rom, but as I cannot get it to work as hard as I've searched and tinkered, I would settle for just any working ROM right now. I've been without a phone for a few days now before receiving this one today, and I really need to get it to work.\

Kinda wish my T999 wasn't replaced with T999L... all this seems too complicated than what I want to get into right now, with modems and bootloaders (never had to touch that on my T999) etc. I'm just confusing myself and at this point I've decided to ask the board instead of risking damaging anything.
