No multirom screen on boot

Hi. I have multi from v33 installed. I've been using multirom for about 2 years I'd say and I've never seen this before. I'm on 4.4.4 and I've been delaying updating. So last night I added a secondary marshmallow ROM. I fell asleep while it was installing the second ROM and my phone died! So I wake up and I no longer have a screen that let's me choose which ROM to boot. If I boot into internal, I can access the second ROM through the multirom manager app and everything works.fine. Anyway to fix this without removing and starting from scratch? Thanks in advance.

Hi. In Recovery try to inject multirom. If not working reinstall multirom.

The first solution worked for me.

I had installed ubuntu 2 in May last year and it was working, not everything but booting and working...

I have Android 5.1.1 installed on primary ROM and I've just updated to MultiROM v3.3. I have Firefox OS 2.5 as a secondary ROM which is working perfectly fine. I never use Android except when I need OSMand.

I've decided to see how was Ubuntu after one year of progress. So I updated it from inside the Rom, from Ubuntu, from 2 to 8. Unfortunatly, after update=ing to ubuntu 8, the same thing happen to me, an infinite boot screen with Ubuntu logo (a different logo than the one in Ubuntu 2, very similar to the Ubuntu desktop logo) appear, no progress for half an hour and reboot didn't help. I decided to delete this Ubuntu ROM and install a fresh Ubuntu 8-devel ROM from MultiROm in Android, thinking that maybe it might work better.

It downloaded a lot of stuff, everything were green (OK, succeed...), it restarted by itself to TeamWin 3.0.0, did again some stuff on terminal (very quick) and came to the TeamWin menu. If I click on MultiROM, utouch-devel appear. I reboot. I start the utouch-devel ROM....

It doesn't even boot. It shows the Google screen and come back to the menu to select the ROM I want.

How can I install again Ubuntu as a secondary ROM without loosing my Firefox OS ROM?

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

I tried reinstalling Ubuntu 2 because I still had the files from before and it did without downloading them again. But the same problem occur. It doesn't boot anymore, it stuck at the Google screen.

Is it MultiROM v3.3 that cause the problem? or It's just not possible anymore to install Ubuntu?

Will it be possible again in a near future?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] mchlbenner:
You will have to change your date back pass February 23 to have it boot.

The signature went out dated the 23.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Thatoo:
Thank you for this information.

Where do I Have to change this date? In Android? in MultiROM? in Recovery, in TeamWin?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Thatoo:
I found the answer myself. I had to change the date in Android and after deleting the two ROMS, I reinstall them.

First I installed devel-8 and this time, it pass the Google screen but get stuck on the new Ubuntu Touch logo (similar to Ubuntu desktop logo) and after 10 min nothing changed.

Then, I installed again the divid-2, and it works like it used to work, pass the google screen, show the old Ubuntu Touch logo, and load Ubuntu till I could use it.

So now the question is, how can I make Ubuntu Touch 8 working?

Thank you so much for your help mchlbenner.

Anyone knows of some flashable rom to test N preview on the N5? Not sure if anyone made a normal rom with N preview for N5 yet tho haha.

[MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION], you delivered M preview roms for multirom last summer (which was awesome and a very appreciated detail!), there is a chance to get some from N, even if there is no official rom for N5? or it doesnt have sense and it's better to wait for someone to make a rom and just flash it?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ast00:
There is no flashable zip yet. Will see.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
There is no N preview for Hammerhead. And no source to make a ROM.

Tap-a-talked from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RusherDude:
It is really needed?. People turned M preview factory images to flashable zips on the N5 few days after it came out.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Hatshipuh:
As I said, no preview for Hammerhead, so no factory image to turn into zip.

Tap-a-talked from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] RusherDude:
Uhm mixed up things, I asked before for N5 and now I meant for N5X, i know disgracefully there is no N preview for N5 :'(

Since MR works with N5X now, it would be interesting to see a N preview rom for it :)

What I really meant before is that since last year previews roms were made directly from the factory images (n5), i see no such activity this time for the n5x

Sorry for the confusion.

I have tried to install the latest Kernel Kexec Hammerhead 601 on my phone as a secondary ROM. I got the "doesn't have kexec-hardboot patch!" message, so I installed the latest Franco kernel, but now when I try to boot it it says right after the google splash screen "An error occurred. Shutting down MultiROM to avoid data corruption". What else is needed? I have the latest MultiROM installed (but not the latest TWRP).

I have a question guys. I'd like to get rid of Android (that I keep only for OSMand) and replace it by CM13.

I have Android 5.1 as a principal ROM and then I have Firefox OS 2.5 as a secondary ROM.

How can I install CM13 instead of Android as the principal ROM and keep my Firefox OS ROM intact with all its data?

I know how to install a secondary ROM but I don't know how to replace the principal ROM...

Thank you guys.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Thatoo:
In the first page of the thread, it's written :

In TWRP 3.0, I can't find "Inject curr. boot sector"

Is it in MultiROM, Menu uper-right : Inject MultiROM?

or

in it's a command to enter in Advanced/Terminal Command?

---------- Post added at 11:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:04 AM ----------

CM13 is installed now and I have activated root access to apps. However, I can't install the kernel for CM13. When it reboot to TWRP, it says

"

error installing zip file '/cach/recovery/kernel.....CM13....zip'

Done processing script file

MTP Enabled

"

My problem is that without it, FFOS won't boot anymore

---------- Post added at 11:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

It's ok, I solved it. it didn't install because of zip signature....

Now I have the kernel CM13 installed and FFOS 2.5 boot.

Sorry for bothering.

Another option for some reason does not boot ubuntu - main firmware is old (I was the December night MOKEE assembly)

He did everything that could:

I put different cores

used different versions multirom

changed date

I tried to establish various firmware ubuntu

And all ended the same - Google logo

I solved a problem as follows:

mokee updated firmware and put the nightly build of 2 April, and a miracle happened: D

Now that would set ubuntu - just download multirom a convenience store or use the version MultiRomMgr-UT, change the date and everything

After these manipulations will start downloading the Ubuntu (some assembly may hang on boot the OS itself)

Perhaps this technique will help many who hangs after installing Ubuntu on google logo

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aszabo7216:
Hi guys, I have a question. Now I have Multirom v33, and as internal ROM an Android 5.1. ROM. I have two secondary ROMs, the first one is Android 5.1 and the second one is 6.0 (Marchmallow) exactly Pure Nexus. My question is, may I exchange (overwrite it) the internal ROM for a Marshmallow ROM? Could I get any issue?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] DSLX5:
You can make a backup of the two firmware and then start experimenting. If something goes wrong - you can restore from backup.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] aszabo7216:
Thank you for the answer, that is very clear for me, I have made beckups very many times, but I was just wandering if someone has experience about it.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kamild_:
Was anyone able to install the latest MIUI 7 (the one based on Marshmallow) with MultiROM? I tried installing it but when I try to boot it, I see the Google logo for a few seconds and it just reboots back to MultiROM selection menu.

Also for some reason, the "Wipe" option in MultiROM TWRP causes the internal storage to wipe too! I just lost my photos because of that! Great :/

Ubuntu Touch channels out of date - booting impossible

Hi!

I tried to install Ubuntu Touch via the App, but it failed.

The keyring image-signing.tar.xz had expired (which i fixed by turning back the time), and after that i am stuck at the Ubuntu boot screen.

I have talked to some folks on the official IRC channel, and they told me, that the provided channels 'devel' and 'devel-proposed' are outdated and not working any more. the new ones are called 'rc-proposed' iirc.

would it be possible for you to update this, so people can again enjoy ubuntu touch on the Nexus 5?

Thanks.

PS: I will attach the log file from the installation below, if it is of any help.

[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nikk95:
Everyone who cant get Ubuntu-Touch to boot follow this (For multirom v33)

1) Change date to Feb !0 or earlier

2) Use the channels: Vivid-Proposed(lags a bit), Vivid, Utopic-Proposed, Utopic

3) let Multirom do the rest

P.S. Devel and Devel-Proposed doesn't boot and is stuck at the Ubuntu logo. havent tested rtm. I would if anyone wants me to.

if it restarts google logo, you haven't changed the date, change it to before 10-02-2016, while you're at it, make sure you are using the latest multirom twrp, and patched kernel. also try updating the bootloader etc
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SA3DX:
Is this discontinued or what?
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bhuvan9111:
It is not. Because it is stable there is no use in updating it or so. So they have left it like that. Until it needs further support they will leave this here.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SA3DX:
So, why is this not updated to the latest TWRP? This is still on 3.0.0 and 3.0.2 is already released.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] ljmanayon:
I don't know what happened but multirom manager force close after I installed elemental x Kernel. Did clean cache, nothing happen. Tried to flash the boot.img came from my rom , still multirom manager force close. Never had this issue prior flashing the kernel.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] bhuvan9111:
Because the 3.0.0 has no major bug that will brick your device. So they stopped updating small updates.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] SA3DX:
So, in order to get an update, either. TWRP 4 or Android N gets released, whichever is sooner.

Sucks honestly, I mean, TWRP had two incremental updates that fixes stuff, and we have to wait.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lukss12:
Mod edit: Don't be rude

About incremental updates, it was only one. The second one was mainly for solving a problem with encryption introduced in first update. And the first one is not essential for our device. The CM13 pattern encryption support is the only thing that could concern to us. Unless you care a lot about themes or some Greek translation the changes are mostly invisible for our Nexus. Does it deserve a developer to waste time on it instead of waiting for a really important release?

[UNOFFICIAL] TWRP 3.0.2 MultiROM w/ F2FS

I had already finished it before this conversation (I had found a bug in 3.0.0 that affected me), but I didn't have time to post it yet, so here is a preview so you can stop the argument :)

I will post the IMG today or tomorrow:)

Here it is! Multirom TWRP 3.0.2 w/ F2FS for our hammerhead

I picked the pull request #37 from the official Tasssadar repos in TWRP, which updates to latest 3.0.2 and adds a stock multirom TWRP theme. I also created an updated marshmallow hammerhead multirom device tree (picking from Tasssadar one and omnirom one).

Here is the github source: https://github.com/kremultirom

All credits go to original creators, I just built it.

I went ahead and pushed all my working environment, since the current state of repos is too much "all over the place". If anyone has suggestions, pull request them :)

BUGS:

(maybe) a theme bug, the progress bar during flash is flashing weirdly. May be an upstream bug or a bug introduced due to our device resolution

let me know if you find anything else

Great contribution, thank you!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lukss12:
Hahaha it happens that people who act like updates from developers is a right they have just makes me sick :D

Brilliant work!!! Can I ask you which was the bug that annoyed you so much? Just to see if I need to update or I am safe from trouble with my setup. Thanks!
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] KreAch3R:
Run out of thanks again :) :good:

Yes, I agree with that :) And yes, the bug, I should have written about it. What I experienced was, that I couldn't delete files or folders touched by TWRP's terminal or file manager (created and or modified). It was common enough (due to Krexus test builds) that it annoyed me. I didn't try to track it down at all, I worked on updating it and then tested it. The below test should suffice:

Use TWRP File manager to create a folder

Use terminal to create a file inside that folder (echo "test" > text.txt)

Reboot into Android

Try to delete either one of them

That bug and the "need for the latest" were enough :P

Hi, just tested your unofficial build but i guess is missing F2FS support because my /sdcard size is shown as 0mb.

Btw, the official one recognize my F2FS partitions just fine.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nikowfreak:
F2FS it's not merged, [MENTION=3190122]KreAch3R[/MENTION] do you think you can merge F2FS support? Anyway thanks for your work :D
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] KreAch3R:
Ah, ok, I never use it so I didn't know. If original has it I'll try to include it too yes. Would anyone of you be able to test a build? (because I won't be able to verify it works)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pretoriano80:
I can help with testing, no problem. As i said the latest official build can read F2FS partitions just fine but can't be used to format from EXT4 to F2FS because mkfs.f2fs binary is missing.

This is only with MR TWRP version, original TWRP 3.0.2 works just fine, for both formatting and reading.
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] nikowfreak:
I will do it :good:
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] lukss12:
Hi there! It's really nice to see someone making efforts to update this :D but if you are going to make more releases maybe you need to make an unnoficial thread just not to mix two release channels on same thread. I don't know Tassadar's policy about this, it's just a saying because I saw a lot of times people arguing about this. Mainly because people using other dev release will PM original dev when they have problems.

Keep going with your work!!!! Thanks, I would test your build but not using F2FS atm
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] KreAch3R:
Thanks to the invaluable input from [MENTION=4878287]_that[/MENTION] in the #twrp freenode channel, who helped me figure out how to test if the kernel supports f2fs (that was my last hiccup) and to the

testing and input from [MENTION=2642882]Pretoriano80[/MENTION], here is a new build with working f2fs:

DOWNLOAD: TWRP_multirom_hammerhead_20160601_UNOFFICIALr2.img

Commits were needed in device tree, in kernel tree, and changing blobs repo (for this)

The last official multirom-TWRP 3.0.0 didn't have f2fs working (in my tests at least, please acknowledge) so you can say this one has one more improvement. :)

Of course I know what happens with unofficial builds (being a ROM dev), and I will immediately take down my versions if [MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION] has any problem with them, while he's absolutely free to pick from my github and update the official one :D. I just love multirom, it's the reason I can develop my own ROM (I have only one device) and I thought about giving back. I don't intend to push regular builds out.

Let me know if anything else arises

Anyone has tried to install a Rom in secondary with TWRP caf 3.0.0.? Problems?

Obviously in primary I have a kernel that supports MultiROM (kexec-hardboot)
[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] Pretoriano80:
What do you mean with "TWRP CAF 3.0.0",is that an unofficial Multirom TWRP CAF? AFAIK there's no way to have CAF Rom as primary and stock or aosp roms as secondaries because the secondary rom won't boot (even if the caf kernel has the kexec hardboot patch applied).

If you want a CAF with Multirom, in my opinion the best way is to use Multirom with the unofficial MR TWRP 3.0.2, install a stock or aosp based rom as primary and CAF as secondary (you can install CAF roms with "normal" TWRP by modifying the zip's updater script).

/sdcard/MultiROM (Or sth like that)

You can't open the folder from *ANY* file manager on your phone. You can try deleting the ROM from the MultiROM app. If that doesn't work, use the file manager in the TWRP recovery. That's the only file manager I've tried that actually displays what's inside the MultiROM folder. Probably it works because technically the phone isn't booted up...
