Ubuntu install borked?

Great work Tassadar. This phone wouldn't be the same without it.

I'm unable to install any Ubuntu version from the app. Running stock CM13 with franco kernel and the new recovery+injected bootimg. The old "unable to find partition for path /data" bug has returned too (maybe its an error with my setup, though. Or the Ubuntu touch hack), can anyone replicate?

SailfishOS, CM11... work as secondary Roms. I just can't install Ubuntu.

hi,

i have a nexus 5 with official multirom installed, kitkat on internal rom and marshmallow on secondary.

i have two issues.

first i cannot swap roms. i want to swap second rom on internal one but during the swap it stops during copying /system and gives me failed, now the internal rom is dead.

now i discovered that there is a beta available so i flashed the new recovery from flashify on the second rom and here is the second issue.

second rom boots normally but i cannot reboot in recovery because the phone stucks on google logo
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] GTDarthYoda:
The kernel that is available from the app to download, is it just stock with MultiROM enabled?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] P4Block:
The updated mrom installs ubuntu no problem, but sadly then it is stuck at the google logo on boot (instead of rebooting, which is an improvement).

Any clue on what may be happening?

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] StarWolfX0:
What Rom were you guys running 5.1? If so try upgrading to 6.0. I camw from 6. Make sure boot loader is up to date. Try flashing another kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] julien1977:
Hey , same issue for me. gogole logo blocked.

I´ve updated MultiROM recovery through the App and now my second ROM cannot be booted anymore. MultiROM boots the recovery up instead. Did anyone else experience the same problem ? Sure, I can flash the ROM again but I guess such a problem is not supposed to happen ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] starche_old:
Thanks for update ?it looks really unusual. Secondary ROM boots no problem.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chicco:
Hi, i partially fix my issues. I install multirom on the second ROM and install the new twrp trought it. Now the recovery is come back. But i still cannot swap the secondary ROM on the internal one. Here you can see a screenshot (sorry for the overlay lock )

How can i solve this?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gorgtech:
I had a similar error once. You might need to extract a factory image and simply flash system.img through fastboot. You will be able to write on the system partition again after.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chicco:
on internal there was kitkat and now i want to swap with the external which is marshmallow. so have i to extract system.img of KK or of MM?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gorgtech:
If you want to swap KitKat, you might need a system.img from a Kitkat factory image. Worst case you will have to setup the ROM again after but this should not be such a great pain. I know from experience that TWRP tends to mess up the partitions if it fails during writing operations. If TWRP is no longer able to mount a partition ( eg. /system ), you need to use fastboot and flash the according part again.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] chicco:
hi,

i don't care about the internal rom, it's enough to swap the secondary on the internal. so have i to fastboot kitkat even if i want to overwrite with mm?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Gorgtech:
In this case it doesn´t matter. You only flash system.img through fastboot because it also fixes the damaged partition. You can use whatever system.img you like ;)

Marshmallow as Internal - Nexus 5

I still can't use MultiROM with Marshmallow as internal rom. I recently install the factory image (6.0.1 - hammerhead-mmb29q-factory-6356d31e.tgz) through the SDK, i ran the CF-Auto-root, installed busybox, then installed the files from MultiROM app. Doesn't appeared the Multirom boot menu when i tried to boot. If I try to boot the secondary ROM from the MultiROM app or widget the phone stays in the Google's logo. Only boots the internal. Any ideas? :confused:

Edit Splash Screen

In previous versions of the modified twrp, I was able to alter the twrp splash screen with android image kitchen. The file I would alter was /ramdisk/twres/images/curtain.jpg. That file is no longer there, and I can't find which one to edit. Can you tell me? Thanks.

Says on the twrp changelog that the jpeg images wouldn't work anymore, but it doesn't say which ones to edit. So it's on their end not yours. I'll poke around and figure it out.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] z31s1g:
The splash is no longer a static jpg. Its an page like all other recovery pages. To change the look, you have to edit the splash.xml in the twres folder, as well as the PNG files that are used on the splash screen (splash_logo and splash_team win).
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] hodragon:
You have to add all your secondary roms again.

They flash without modifying the updater-script and boot just fine.

I need help.

I was copying secondary ROM to primary slot. Nothing special, I did that many times before. The process was completed successfully, no issues here. But when I reboot the system, right after Google splash screen, I've got green screen. It says:

"Apps Watchdog Bite!

---------------------

DemiGod Crash Handler: Apps Watchdog Bite!"

Now I cannot boot into any ROM.

What I did wrong and How I can bring to life my phone?

Thanks.

Update 1.

I'm on 3.0.0 version, has been updated through the app. No problems before.

The only thing I changed in setting was time zone and reduced the brightness, but that shouldn't be an issue.

Volume Down reboots the Phone.

Volume Up: after pressing it it says: "Volume Up is Pressed: Jump to Dload Mode" and nothing happens. I cannot get even to download mode.

As I said - I need help.

Update 2.

If to hold Vol Up + Vol Down + Power buttons actually I can get in bootloader and from there - I can get into TWRP. Interesting...

How I can boot into any of ROMs?

Update 3.

from TWRP I flashed back the ROM which was on primary before (I know, I've got stupid habit to have copies of everything - just in case) and voila - I booted successfully.

Now I'm completely confused. The only thing I can think is: primary ROM is Chroma and it's non-CAF and the ROM I tried to put on primary slot is Bliss (CAF).

DOes that's true that I cannot have CAF ROM on primary slot?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] gemj95:
Hey guys!

I wanted to try MultiRom with AICP CAF: I manually installed the recovery through fastboot and then I installed MultiRom Manager from the playstore, then it asked me to install the needed files.

However after rebooting i'm either getting a black screen or a green screen (WDog Bite); i'm using Racer Kernel, which afaik it has Kexec-hardboot patch (and the multirom manager confirms it).

Did i miss something? I've to do something else since i'm using CAF? I've only AICP CAF installed as internal for now, no secondary roms at all
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] P4Block:
It stil won't work for me. I'm running cm13, with the kernel provided by multirom (I also tried Franco), and the latest 3.0 modified twrp. I left the thing for 15 minutes and it would not boot, and was also cold.

I just fixed my problems.

Looking at last_kmesg after booting ubuntu I found in the kernel cmdline that Multirom detected the root fs type as f2fs despite it being ext4, so it does not boot. Changing manually the rootfstype arg in the rom_info.txt to ext4 made it work.

Now, my data partition used to be f2fs a long ago, but no longer is. I wonder why this happens. I should reflash the factory image.

I dont know what im doing wrong !

able to install secondary rom but not able to boot into any rom !

all i have to do is root , then install multirom (all 3 checkboxs done ) thats it ?

m i missing any step ????

please reply ..
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wangdaning:
I am guessing by the 3 checkboxes you mean the three parts to manually install. Is that how you installed? What kernel are you using?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mibanjara:

installed multirom

there were 3 options :- for hexec kernel, twrp multirom , multirom installed all these

ubuntu got installed but m not able to boot .... same with other roms ...
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wangdaning:
If it were me I would go back to the beginning. Reflash stock M from google (factory image), then install recovery again (maybe root also). Then try to install multirom again.

yes... from morning i tried with 4.4.4 & 5.1.1 and 6.0.1 :(

completely stock as in all i need to do is flash stock and lock the bootloader right ?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] wangdaning:
Unlocked bootloader, fastboot flash all images. After, reboot fastboot, fastboot flash twrp. After that get onto multirom.

Personally, I would flash SU then EX (a kernel), then attempt multirom.

Is it in any way possible to share appe between multiple instances of the same android version? Maybe by mounting a specific partition from the primary ROM or symlinking something?

still no luck in booting into another rom (tired different roms boot well when booted as primary rom but no luck with multirom)...

Now download the MM V32

Flash it in recovery

If you want to downgrade the TWRP, and download the required TWRP recovery from the above link and flash it using flashify app or vide fastboot. [emoji4]

Back to stock : I understand, no multirom, and no custom ROMS, and but with unlocked bootloader, and TWRP recovery.

OK so first delete the sailfish

You may remove the multirom, but I suggest keep it.

Download flashable stock zip file.

Delete the cm11

Flash stock

Done.

You may use wugfush tool to automate the process.

Note you will loose all data etc.

And the OP instructions are very simple and easy. I suggest read ? few more times.

You will definitely understand [emoji4]
