What a great response. :good:

I'm actually dual-booting now, with my own system. Unfortunately, it isn't to the point where it is reliable, so I haven't released it. Now it looks like between MaulBoot and this the S3 is covered :highfive::highfive:

I can't try this now (leaving for work in a few minutes) but will definitely give it a spin this weekend. Any word on storage speed? I have a UHS sd-card and I'm actually getting faster speeds running off the SD than the internal memory. The way I'm doing it though is re-partitioning the SD card (essentially the same as MaulBoot I believe), which other than the fact that its working seems to be... less desirable than using .img files like this does. At the very least, it kills using the external SD for both ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevelle1768:
This is awesome! Now I can test my MIUI builds without doing a wipe and restore.

Would it be possible to be able to change the img sizes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
Can the tar file be flashed with mobile Odin or do I have to flash with odin3? Also I am currently dual booting with MaulBoot, can I dual boot with this as well as with MaulBoot or would I have to format my sdcard to use this? I am enjoying being able to dual boot on my sdcard.

thank you very much this will help me !
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
[edit] Hi Dadud. This is for any version but only for unlocked bootloaders.

Hi podspi, if your external sdcard is partitionned, it will work only if /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 is vfat as multibbot only manage fisrt external partition.

But, you can also use internal /sdcard to install roms. As img files are sparsed on ext4, it is more efficient for space saving.

Hi deuce, it as only been tested with odin3 on PC.

Moderator moved this thread to general as it as not been tested or confirmed working on your device. It would be great if somedy can give a feedback.

Thank's

You can't do this on our 4.3 update. We have a locked bootloader that prevents it running any other rom besides stock. If people with locked bootloaders try to use this their devices will brick.

AT&T and T-Mobile s3's both have unlocked bootloaders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi,

Thank's for explanations. Does it mean that since your 4.3 upgrade, you can not install any recovery image ?

If yes, I understand that it is too dangerous and prefere to remove this program.

Philippe,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You're correct, people on the update can't install custom recoveries. We do have safestrap available, and that's the only recovery available that will work on the locked bootloader. This is fine for anyone with an unlocked bootloader, there are plenty of people who ran custom roms before the update and did not take the 4.3 update.

This program is perfectly acceptable for them and it should definitely be here, but a disclaimer for the 4.3 folks would be a good idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevelle1768:
Please continue to update this. Its working good for me. I have one issue thou. I can't see my real "/data/media/0".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] podspi:
For those who updated to OTA 4.3, yea they are stuck. I would expect that most of us (?) are still on the leaked bootloader, which IS unlocked.

As long as you put a disblamer noting that people need an unlocked bootloader, you should be fine.

Also, in your linked thread you mention a dev thread with sources, etc, but I haven't been able to find it. I'd love to take a look under the hood of this thing. I can't promise that I'll be super-useful, but I can try :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 96NovaC:
Hey this looks great, I have a 32gb sd card coming in in a few days and want to try it out. It looks like you had a build up but pulled it, maybe for further testing. Just to be sure should I wait for a verizon recovery build (if you are building one) or do I flash the at&t, sprint, or the t mobile builds? I'm not comfortable flashing things that weren't meant specifically for my device. I do see you said you can download them from the other threads and adapt them but I have no idea how to do so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Good news to know that it is working on d2vzw device, thank's for feedback. If you run on rom on external sdcard, I did it on purpose ( close access to internal block devices ) but I will probably add a switch to mount it in future version.

Warning added and original Odin file restored in first message.

Yes, I proposed to open a dev thread if people were interested in but until now, nobody asked. I am happy that you're the first :good:.

I have to clean sources before posting but if you want to understand how it works I already made a threat explaining it on the first device I made this method : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2558903

Philippe,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 96NovaC:
Awesome, successfuly flashed it with mobile ODIN. I'll play around with it when I get my sd card. Just to clarify, being on 4.3 is fine as long as its not the OTA that was pushed. Our custom 4.3 roms don't lock you down like the OTA does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
You're exactly right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] appl3mac:
Thanks for this will give it a run when time allows. I got interested in this a while back but the stuff I had found for our devices was abandoned. So just left it alone since I have limited knowledge or time to play.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 96NovaC:
Ok so I couldn't wait for my sd card to try this and went ahead and freed up room on my internal and tried flashing omni rom with this. It did what it was supposed to and its great that we have something like this now. Couple of problems: I tried flashing the supersu update zip but it failed even though the gapps installed fine. When I was in my main rom and tried to use the multiboot app it just booted back up to my main one again. When I tried shutting down from omni it kept doing the vibration it does for shutdown and boot up (might have been from being plugged in the charger but I'm not sure). Other than these small issues this is pretty great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mandiw777:
Well idk why there aren't a lot of ppl talking about this I think its fantastic and it works perfectly for me. Thank you Phil_Suz for this!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevelle1768:
Not sure why either. I have has zero issues with this. It makes it so much easier to test out other ROMs and not have to nandroid back and forth or repartition my sdcard.

Any chance on posting source code. Maybe other can help improve on it (not that is needs it).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 96NovaC:
Its because its in the wrong category. I dont know why its still in general but once (if) this moves from general to the dev section more people who want something like this will see it. I finally got my SD card last week and the only problem I had with the process was that it took around 15-20 minutes for it to create a new ROM on it but after that it was all good. I also still couldn't switch ROMs with the app but that's not a big issue.

Hi All,

Multiboot v2.11 is now ready.

This version adds feature to multiboot ubuntu touch 14.04 on galaxy S3 ( img format only, external sdcard strongly recommanded).

I did this ubuntu port on my d2att model but it could possibly work on your device.

If you want to test, download links are there : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13392

Important recommandations and details of working features can be found in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2702692

multiboot v2.11 is at same usual location.

Note : Please let a feedback message in this thread or original one if you tested it. if you report that it is not working, I will remove download link.

Philippe,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
ubuntu touch

camera works

front facing camera reboots phone when pics are taken

wifi works

screen rotation works

sound works

imie is there but no mobile data or telephone :(

doesn't recognize external SD card

GPS doesnt work

GREAT stuff
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi kidhudi, thanks for feedbacks.

As cell features don't seem to work on verizon devices, I removed lte version and created specific versions.

Maybe this will fix cell problems ( because working well on d2att )

Download links are there : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=13392

PS : How did you test GPS ? I will check if it is ok on my d2att.

Philippe,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
i assume the GPS works because i opened the weather app and it loaded my local areas weather. and i opened it about an hour from my home and it showed me that towns weather.

I am not sure if that is a good indicator. i just assumed since it is "following" my device that the GPS was getting a "lock".

i hope i was right. :)

hinde-sight being 20/20 i guess the wifi connection could have been getting my location as well. but you would know better than me bro

thanks bro for all the work you are doing in making this rom happen. i was waiting for something like this since they released the preview rom :)

I am downloading the rom now and will report back

if you need anything else from me just let me know :)

peace bro

**update** IT BOOTS. and works i will test phone and SMS ..

it is showing me 4 bars but the splash screen still says "no data connection"

i am on a network extender i will try again when i am away from home in about 20 minutes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
verizon is being recognized as the provider

phone and mobile data wont connect

once in a while the antenna in the notification bar goes to 2g then back

great work so far
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
[MENTION=218262]Phil[/MENTION]

the ubuntu touch rom will make and recieve phone calls but there is no sound in the call.

but it will ring another phone and recieve calls.

it wont send or recieve a text message.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevelle1768:
I can confirm also. My wife tried calling me,but she could not hear me.

But this is great progress!! Thanks for the preview.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi kidhudi and Chevelle1768, thanks for feedbacks.

v0.13 for specific devices introduce this regression about audio during call.

Here is a small patch working on my d2att, it will probably solve this problem on your device too : http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407584604

Don't forget to do "multiboot"->"set rom"->"your ubuntu rom" , before installing this patch.

Philippe,
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
Calls work!!!!!!

cellular data is still broken

SMS and MMS are still broken

great work Phil

Update. Sms will send but never shows that it was sent. Just stays at sending. But it still won't accept an sms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chevelle1768:
Calls work now. I can hear the other person.

Camera (front and back) work also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:

Yep, mine does too. Didn't try it last time.

Awesome work thou Phil_Suz
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
GPS is not working. I found the Google maps application and it wouldn't lock my location.

Sorry about my previous post about gps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Thanks guys. Can you all confirm that cell data does not work ?

It is a bit weird because I applied exactly same procedure for all d2xxx and it is working for my d2att device. It will be a bit difficult for me to debug without the device. If you can send logcat files, I could compare with mine :

adb shell /system/bin/logcat -b radio -d > logcat_radio.txt

adb shell /system/bin/logcat -d > logcat.txt

Philippe,

I can get data with wifi but no cell data. I tried to pull up a webpage but nothing. It actually was connecting through my extender when calling too.

Anything let me know. More then welcome to help out!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
i tried that qcow2 thing and installed ubuntu on my extSD.. unfortunately the rom wouldn't install correctly. it just went to a black screen.

had to pull the battery. FYI

thanks :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Phil_Suz:
Hi Chevelle1768, thank's for log files. I quickly look inside but did not see ril errors. It could be on ubuntu side ( not inside the android container ). Next step will surely be to take traces from ofonod. Before this, can you test the new build below, never know...

Hi kidhudi, current releases are not compatible with qcow2. I wrote in the first message (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2702692) that you must use img files. However, qcow2 is on progress and will be probably supported on nex release.

I just uploaded an on progress version 0.2. Based on d2att but will be interesting to test it on your device.

changelog :

- build on latest ubuntu touch daily ( 2014-04-16 ) :

- volumes buttons working :)

- UI changes (scopes)

- small regression with charge indicator ( multiply by 3 to get real value )

- added an ubuntu boot splash

- fixed gps - working only with test_gps ( not working with indicator )

- bluetooth now started - don't know if it can discover bt headsets

- add nbd kernel support (for future qcow2 support, a new version of multiboot will be needed)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
Splash is cool (doesnt look exactly centered to me,but it could be an illusion)

volume rockers work :)

gps still doesnt lock on google maps

cant test Bluetooth sorry

the new page is showing ( scopes) :good:

the background is white now. even though i tried to change it back to purple it remained white

coming along GREAT!!

thanks for allowing me to test it out

Is there a zip that can be flashed for multiboot, I dont like odien it scares me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
the zip files are flashabe from recovery (see post 26)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phillipmckinnish:
Sorry about all the questions I just don't want to do this wrong and mess something up. The setup how do you set the stock room? I see in the video it has the stock rom set up already but I can't find anything that shows you how to get to that point. Is the anywhere to find some writing instructions (maybe it me but the videos are hard to follow with no sound) This just look like the awesome for a crack flasher like myself..

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

It does not show what to do first.He left out the first part on how to set up you stock rom..And also please tell me what is a recovery rom and what is it used for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
pretty much just flash the v2.11 with your current recovery.( you can use CWM or older TWRP)

once done your new recovery will have multiboot capabilities.

the only thing that i ma having a problem with is that the multiboot twrp will not create a nandroid of the "master" rom. (the one on your internal drive)

the work-around is to flash a second recovery like CWM touch and use that specifically for the internal rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phillipmckinnish:
Thanks man I got it,I was just being scary..I grow some and did it...It works well..BTW the videos did help a lot I played them and just follow real time right along with them,I was just over thinking it....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
congrats bro.

once you use the multiboot for a while it becomes second nature.

also when flashing MAKE SURE you are flashing to the right partition. it will be in red on the top left when "SET"

happy flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] phillipmckinnish:
This is bad ass,Not sure why I just fund out about this...Why isn't everone taking about this....Not one youtube video besides PhilZ...:confused:

I love it..Thanks for all you hard work Phil
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidhudi:
hell yeah it is awesome..

do yourself a favor and get the multiboot apk (can be found on his thread in the AT&T thread linked in the OP). it makes it possible to choose what partition to boot without going into recovery.

make life so much easier.

yeah phil is great :)
