Just a proposal

Hi guys,

i have prepared my system to check the app. I have started the app and inserted a preformated SD-Card (FAT32) 8 GB Class 10. The process seems to start, but i can't verify this on a simple glance. Maybe it would be a nice feature to implement a progressbar to keep nervous people like me ;) calmer.... just an idea

I'll report later if there are some results to release....

Cheers

Rhonin

Troubles and how to prevent ;) :

I have read that nilac was also waiting "very long" for his SD-Card to get formatted. For me it's now half an hour and simply i just see the attached picture.

[14:43] - Starting all over again by formatting the SD-Card with the phones system and now it seems to run :D - Stay tuned ;)

[14:50] - The process ended successful :) Sry for bothering

What if secondary ROM hangs in a bootloop

Hi @ all,

now i can't deal it anymore. I switched within the app to the secondary ROM i. e. newest Carbon, but it keeps in a bootloop. Switching the phone off and starting it again results also in the bootloop - so what now ?

I simply want to start my old system, but how can i do that ? Where will a backup land, when i start it within TWRP 2.4.4.0 ? On the new partitions or on the old ones ? Is there also a flag that must be erased so that the system boots from the "original" partitions ?

Help is highly appreciated

THX in advance

Hi Rhonin!

Could you tell me which folders do you have in the DualBootSplus folder from your sd-card, and their content ?

I will re-check the 4.3 kernel because I saw that others had problems with it and I'll get back with a fix ZIP if I find anything.

To get back to the old system, just flash any normal kernel, your primary ROM is still there, you just need a kernel to boot it...

I'll also try to use a 4.3 ROM as secondary to see if I can reproduce your problem.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
SRY - but i did a full wipe

Hi Educk,

i know i shouldn't test if time is limited so it results in such poor information :(

AFAIR there was a folder 4.3 within the DualBootSPlus folder. I copied the extracted boot2.img from the opt version to this folder. btw there was no stock one for 4.3 inside the zip ??? That was all i remember ....

I'll test again if there is more time...

Cheers and a lot of THX for helping

New version with problem 16G sd cards solved is online.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Oh, you shouldn't have done a full wipe, I'm sorry, I hope you can restore your backup.

You only had to flash a simple kernel for your primary ROM and you could have gone back to the primary ROM.

I will post some detailed explanations in the second post to avoid these situations...

I managed to fix the problem, it was in the ramdisk from the 4.3 kernel. All other kernels work good but this one didn't, I attached to this post and I'll update the kernel pack.

I also tested on Carbon as secondary and with this kernel it boots correctly.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
Warning !

When you flash the SECONDARY ROM DO NOT WIPE ANYTHING in recovery. Use only the application.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
BIG THX for ultra quick support

OK,

all is working again, i could restore my backup and i used a new sd-card for the test so there is no real lost ...

So now everything is prepared for the next testings if there is more time to keep calmer ;) but i think such experiences help to extinguish those bugs and animate other users to test it...

ONCE AGAIN a BIG THANK

I can confirm now dual boots it's working with 16 gb sd card. The process is quite fast and simple, I didn't encounter any problem, I have cm9 and cm10.1, now I'm setting up my secondary rom but all seems to be working.. Great Job Guys! :good:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] markey97:
This. Is. Just. Awesome.

Hei guys and girlz,

At 1st: A big thanks to you 2, Erik and horn3t and also all testers:cool:. Erik, you've really done a big amount of work for our device, there are no words to describe how much i want to thank you for that.:highfive:

You got the f***ing dual boot to work on our old and beloved I9001:victory:, a big Thanks for that, its just AWESOME :good:

And 2nd: Does it also work with 32GB cards?

As i don't want to make a backup of a nearly completly filled 32GB card to see afterwards that it does not work.

Anybody tested it?

If not, i will try it tommorrow anyways

And if it doesn't work, I'm sure you will get it to work, like you said nearly a year ago Erik: For you nothing is impossible. and if its for real imposible with 32GB cards, np, i also have some 16GB and 8GB cards so that wouldn't be the problem, it just would be great to be able to have a 2nd ROM and to use my card nearly like it was before.

Greets and regards,

markey :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
Yes is working with 32G cards. I made myself a test after fixing issue with 16G cards. Partitioning takes under 1 minute..

boot2 for MIUI-V5

After tested I must said, the boot2.img (JB 4.1.2 , stock or OPT ) which erik provided didn't work for MIUI-V5.

So if someone want to make MIUI-V5 as secondary ROM, you must use this boot2.img i have modify ...Otherwise, you will get stuck bootanimation.

Thanks erik, i have two system now :good::good: ( CM10.1 and MIUI )

boot2.img for MIUI-V5 download:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Thank you for providing this kernel for MIUI ! I knew that, MIUI needs a special ramdisk but I didn't know what to modify.

I'll add it to kernel packs ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] zxc123coke:
My secondary rom is MIUI-V5. one thing is strange.

Open miui flashable zip , there is "data" folder together with "system" "boot.img" "META-INF" , and i found the apk in "data" folder install to my primary rom.

How to flash new ROM on an existing secondary ROM

Hi guys,

after getting DualBoot running with CarbonROM as secondary ROM flashed i want to update to the newest weekly. But how to do it without getting the system weired up.If i flash the new ROM with DualBoot what will happen after flashing ? I assume the new Carbon will be flashed over the primary ROM....

So how to do it ? Erasing the the DualBootSPlus folder - Then Flashing the ROM - Then implementing the kernel again ? And how to clean the partitions on the extern SD-Card ? How to wipe it ? I want to flash the new ROM on a "clean" system....

Maybe to the most of you it is clear, but not to me :(

There is a german saying:

The one who asks will be a fool for 5 minutes the one who never asks will be a fool for a lifetime - that's for my excuse :D

THX in advance

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
Hi, Rhonin,

Secondary rom must be flashed always from application. Proceed in the same way as you do when flashing secondary ROM first time.

You have option to wipe data / cache+dalvik cache before flash starting.

Do not delete DualBootSplus folder because you loose kernels!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] muhammadnajmi96:
Hello ! I'm very thankful to OP for bringing dual-boot to our devices :D ! I have a question, did you use have plans to dual-boot our phone with GB ROM and CM (4.0+) in the future? :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
Hello guys, a new version with small ui changes is available.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
GOOD NEWS !

We made the application to run on GB, so you can have now any ROM you want as primary ROM. DualBoot 1.3 is ready for download.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] XeLLaR*:

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
With root & busybox, should work. I didnt test with stock but with GIGABREAD+.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Madridii:
Thanks you

What about custom recovery to flashing secondary ROM via app? I think we need CWM with root and busybox over stock ROM right?

I will think to possibility to backup/restore second rom.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Calin:
For the kernel you can try the broodkernel
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] cezaralboiu:
you need to have a special kernel to make the gb boot as secondary rom:P
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
It's not possible yet.

I tried to make some modifications but GB has a funny RAMDISK, Samsung is killing me sometimes :p

There will be a ICS and a GB kernel for dual-boot as soon as possible, I'm on it...

Bare with me :D
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] XeLLaR*:
Wow, thats great news! Thank you and educk. A great piece of work!

So, i must install GB as primary and cm10.2 as secundary?

Need a little HowTo

Hi @ all,

i successfully installed CarbonROM as a secondary ROM. And now i wanted to install S+Reborn for test purposes.

But i failed installing it - i started the flashing process within the app and the whole process started but after the reboot i ended in my primary ROM which was now overwritten by the flashed ROM. There must be something wrong within my using of the app - Is there something i have to pay attention to ???

THX in advance

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
Hi, Rhonin

The only explanation that I have regarding what has happened is that zip file is corrupt.

Normally the application read and write some changes in the zip file. It seems that writing into the zip was not executed, so you flash the original zip.

You must download once again S+Reborn and try flashing again. If you still have the first downloaded zip file (S+Reborn) can you give it to me?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Calin:
For me is installing correctly like second rom, because I use the dual boot to test the rom so I think h0rn3t is write..
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
I made some tests. Flashing S+Reborn using DualBootSplus form internal sd and form external sd.

In both cases the flashing procedure went correctly.

After I tried the zip that you send me. The same result as yours (zip was flashed on primary rom).

The conclusion is that if the archive is corrupt will be flashed on primary rom. So I will add in application an additional test that will check the final zip (before flashing start) to eliminate such issues.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
Just to clarify

Initial Situation:

As you can also see in my signature: Primary ROM LS R5 with K^Kernel 2.2 390 MB exUV/OC Secondary ROM Carbon ROM from 01102013

DualBootApp V 1.2

Content of DualBootSPlus folder:

Folder 4.3 containing the corresponding boot2.img

boot1.img

tmp.zip

The new ROM is located on the external SD-Card , not on the internal SD-Card ( i assume that this is the cause for my problem ? )

Starting with this configuration i open the DualBoot app and touch flashing - navigating to the ROM.zip and flash it. All works but after the reboot i find my self in the "updated" Primary ROM :confused:

I tried the same but erase the DualBootSPlus folder before, so that it had to be created again by the app. The same result :eek:

So if there is no error in handling from myside i try to download S+ Reborn again.

THX for all your support

Rhonin

EDIT:

Do i have to remove the 4.3 folder from DualBootSPlus Folder after installing S+Reborn or is it possible to have different folders (4.3 and 4.2) containing boot2.img inside or is only one folder containing the boot2.img allowed ?

THX in advance
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
Handling is correct, zip is bad :)

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] stepie22:
Does it automaticly wipe the /system partition on sd-card if you flash ?? What if I wnat to flash a mod via a zip? Should I use Gapps option then?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
Most flashable zip roms already include wipe of system partitions. For flashing other mods, yes, you can use gapps option.

Observation: Flashable mod must mount system partition !
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
New version 1.4 is available.

Major change is that there is no need reboot after each operation. Zip files can be processed in the first stage and after can be flashed in recovery one after another.

Have fun !

Hello Eric and horn3t

Thanks for your Dual Boot project, it's very awesome, which capabilities do you extract out of our "old" phone. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

But I have a problem. I've installed Dual Boot 1.4 and a fresh new hama 32Gb class 10. I' had made all steps, as on your 1st page is mentioned. But after I have seen all three partitions in "settings partition..." and I give the click to "create partition ...", the phone is working some times, and then shows only 2 partitions. When I want to flash secondary Rom, it says: " canceled, wrong partition ..".

I have made immediatelly a bugreport (attached, couldn't understand all ). Can you say me, if it's an error from the sd-card or the software ?

My enviroment: primary slim rom 4.2.2 with phenom 4.8+ kernel, secondary should be carbon 4.3

Hi Devs,

it would be helpful if you update the second post with the changelog and post an information concerning the provided boot2.img files and the ROMs they are made for. The new ROMs are based upon CM10.1 / CM10.2 and the updated sensorlibs are not compatible to the former provided boot2.img files or am i wrong ?
