Man READING IS a GIFT When you boot in multirom you choice the TWRP after this go to the menu in my post and Install new rom after this flash gapps and add boot.img AND YES all this staff you must do it form MULTIROM->TWRP and etc. After this when you boot in MultiROM on USB menu you can choice the secont third and four rom haw many you whant to install. And I read your post and YES My answare is CORRECT and you are I think you can't read or you can't understand what you read.
[HTC One X] aburayan2005:
[MENTION=2528998]Thant[/MENTION] as I said there's NO Add Rom option when I tap on Advanced-->Multi I always get "data/media/multiroms/roms" that means MultiROM is not installed.

But I tried to install CM11 through MultiROM TWRP over ViperX and installation failed, via Rom TWRP as well same fail

BTW: sorry mate if I get off-topic
[HTC One X] Thant:
Man when you reboot the phone multiROM start count 5 second you must to cancel this and choice to load not internal rom but choice TWRP then you will see this option. Don't try to install rom from your MAIN RECOVERY I supose your main recovery is TWRP and you try to install rom from there. Now on you r phone have 2 recoverys: One your main recovery can be TWRP,CWM,PHILZ this recovery you flash it with the command fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img and SECOND recovery you have installed with MultiROM and when you load MultiROM you eill see YOU can choice Internal ROM or TWRP you Must to choice TWRP and then in the menu to add new ROM. And the new rom you can find it after this when you are in multiROM on the USB menu and can choice internal or USB rom/this is your second rom/

I hope now you will read this and I hope you will understamd what I write you.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
Ummm... you have to be missing a step somewhere...

I'll do a fresh install myself when i get home later tonight, but can you confirm this for now...

presuming you installed MultiROM correctly, do you get the countdown menu (with the dragon icon) when you reboot the phone?

do you get the 2 options Internal & TWRP?

from which you choose TWRP, inside TWRP you choose MultiROM and there you couldn't find Add ROM??

if so, can you post a picture of that menu with the error.

[MENTION=2528998]Thant[/MENTION], can you confirm you're Modified TWRP version is 2.7.1?
[HTC One X] Thant:
No my main recovery is Philz 5.15.9 I don't like TWRP in the multiROM the recovery is TWRP2.7.0 and I don't have any problems with MultiROMv27 except don't want to install boot.img everytime is faild but manually add boot.img is OK
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
I was refering to mullirom twrp....

and that might be the problem, the last update should have contained 2.7.1,

I need the use of my phone now, so i cant reboot, but hopefully tonight.

[MENTION=5413965]aburayan2005[/MENTION] ^^
[HTC One X] Thant:
No in my MultiRom v 27 the TWRP is 2.7.0
[HTC One X] paulh1978:
Can confirm multirom recovery is 2.7.0.
[HTC One X] aburayan2005:
[MENTION=618483]Thunder07[/MENTION] after losing my main Rom yesterday I started from scratch flashing new one ARHD 33.1 and all other staff from multiROM TWRP to be sure I never used other recovery. But NO luck to install 2nd Rom at the end. And confirm that TWRP is 2.7.0
[HTC One X] Thant:
Man are you flashing ZEUSBeta8.img????

Try this:

1. wipe everything except sd CARD

2. Flash Zeus beta8.img after this flash the rom and boot.img via kernel flasher not with your main recovery.

3. Install multiROM and report if everything work
[HTC One X] aburayan2005:
EXACTLY that what I did.
[HTC One X] paulh1978:
Can you be more specific
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
[MENTION=5413965]aburayan2005[/MENTION],

I have found the problem... and will release a fix for it soon....

but you vab fix it yourself now...

open the /sdcard/media

delete a folder called multirom

create a folder called 0
[HTC One X] aburayan2005:
[MENTION=618483]Thunder07[/MENTION] did that, finally it works for me. Thanks for your help.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
Update:

--MultiROM updated to mainstream v28

---Mainly bug fixes (since last release was more like V27.8)

Get it in the 1st post

[MENTION=4339158]paulh1978[/MENTION] & [MENTION=2528998]Thant[/MENTION]

can you confirm if the newest MR.zip contains TWRP 2.7.1...

if not go to /sdcard/media/0/ROMS/

delete TWRP and flash the zip again and let me know.

I can confirm this is correct....

Ive also created and restored backup... but they must be made with TWRP (I guess either Modified or original)

However, The name is so long it causes the install process to fail,

I renamed "2014-08-31--08-27-00 carbon_endeavoru-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84Q dd2" to Carbon and it worked like it should.

Now, I need to know where your problem is, from what i understand, the backup is not showing up at all??
[HTC One X] paulh1978:
Should I uninstall old version or just flash over the top
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
flash on top 1st, I want to see if the recovery is updated as it should.

if that doesn't work, then delete the recovery and reflash... and after which ill look for a way to make sure it's always updated.

EDIT:

Also, don't run the uninstaller as it would remove all your roms as well.
[HTC One X] paulh1978:
After flashing latest multirom over the top it has updated the recovery to 2.7.1
[HTC One X] shasen1235:
Thanks for the update!

Just want to mention you probably means /sdcard/media/0/multirom/roms ,right?

That is the path I got after installed:D

Yes,on the last version it couldn't detect or just not able to show the backups I made(by TWRP)

But it seems to work fine now,even the name is pretty long:good:

Edit:

I found that though it shows the backup properly,but I still need to shorten the folder name to perform the multirom installation or it will fail

So yes it is just like how you describe but at least you got this feature works!
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
Cool, I probably just forgot to pack the new recovery last time.

Ya

:good:

I'll eventually get around to fixing that.

The problem is not in the code, but by the inherited limitation is directory/file name length.
[HTC One X] modest.young:
Hi I can conform that new TWRP is implemented but I'm unable to find TWRP>Advanced>MultiROM and other multirom tools. Where is it now located. Am I doing something wrong. I have no problem with v27. I installed it same way but in v28 I can't find MultiROM tools in MultiROM TWRP?

Could you please help me?

Thanks a lot.
[HTC One X] Thant:
[MENTION=618483]Thunder07[/MENTION] I installed v28 over old v27 and now the TWRP is 2.7.1 and it work good. Too late with the report but now I have time to flash it
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
Ummm....

It's the same place....

If it's not there go back one page and follow those instructions....

It's should have been fixed in this release but ummmm.

Send From My HTC One X
[HTC One X] paulh1978:
It is definitely there are you sure you haven't booted onto your normal recovery
[HTC One X] aburayan2005:
+1

Flashed V28 over V27 and TWRP presented 2.7.1, works as it should.:good:
[HTC One X] osama-selo:
As I read in the description that SD-Card wipe could happen when installing MultiBoot... Did anyone face it during flash, I hadn't installed this yet and I WILL make a backup before flashing it, but I'm just curious to know.

Thanks
[HTC One X] paulh1978:
I can only speak from my own experience, but my sd was fine.
[HTC One X] Thant:
this has been in old releases I think in the new don't have problem but it will be good to backup your sd card for any case to be sure. I am one of the testers and flash this more then 50 times together with the zeusboot.img and never lose any data on my sd card.
[HTC One X] osama-selo:
Ok... Thanks guys I just wanted to be sure about it as backing up and restoring 23 GB is really painful... And anyway I will make a backup before flashing.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
That was an error on my end when i was experimenting with a couple of ways to get this to boot,

It shouldn't happen again, but i left it to cover my ass in-case i make the same mistake again.
[HTC One X] Thant:
[MENTION=618483]Thunder07[/MENTION] one more report after update to v28 I don't have the problem with the boot.img now everything is installed perfect. GREAT UPDATE:good::good::good::good:
[HTC One X] Nebukad_fr:
I've updated to v28 and when I added a new ROM, I only see the new ROM in the boot menu. In TWRP I can see and select the other ROMS.

It looks like the new version of Multirom create a new folder in the Rom folder when you install it. I can see a boot folder that don't exist in my other Roms. I don't know if I'm clear.
[HTC One X] Thant:
Are you flashed the latest KL ZeusBeta8.img the MultiROMv28 work perfect
[HTC One X] Nebukad_fr:
Yes., I have. I'm also use KL
[HTC One X] Thant:
Please explain what is youor problem exactly. You can't load other ROM or you can't install other rom what is the problem
[HTC One X] Nebukad_fr:
No, not exactly.

When I was on v27, I had my main ROM + 2 additional ROMS.

Then I updated to v28. At that time, i could also boot on any of the 3 ROMS.

Last week, I added a fourth rom and since then, I can only boot the internal and the fourth rom. These are the only ones I can see in the boot menu.

But If I go in TWRP -> Multirom menu -> list of rom : I can see all my roms.

I just can't boot the 2 "old" ones.

Then, I noticed that I have a new folder called "boot" in addition of the image files in the Multirom Folders of my SD card. I don't know if this is related.
[HTC One X] Thant:
This is because in the last MultiROM have some changes now just delete the 2 old ones and then install it again or backup them with TWRP and restor it in the new location:)
[HTC One X] Nebukad_fr:
Hi,

I can't add a rom using a backup. Am I the only one ? It fails saying "Can't create ROM folders"
[HTC One X] Oreol:
No multirom options in advance recovery menu

Help Please,

I don't see the multirom menu in the recovery but the multirom boot options is appear on boot menu.

I've tried installing it over twrp recovery v2.6.3.0, v2.1.7 and v2.8.0.0 and the results still the same.
[HTC One X] Nebukad_fr:
You need to launch TWRP from the multirom boot menu and not your normal recovery. Plus, you can't use any theme in multiboot TWRP.
[HTC One X] Oreol:
Thanks,

I've tried opening the TWRP from boot menu to go into multirom menu but it stuck either black screen or htc quietly brilliant animation.

Please confirm if i'm doing this correctly:

1. flash KL-zeus kernel using fastboot: fastboot flash boot <filename.img>

2. flash multirom from recovery.

3. reboot
[HTC One X] Nebukad_fr:
Yes, that it. And then, on the multirom boot menu, select the second entry "TWRP".
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
Update MultiROM v30

--Sync'ed MR with upstream

-- TWRP is now v2.8.2 supporting lollipop ROMS

--Fixed MTP in TWRP

--Zeus Kernel was also updated with slight bug fixes, nothing major.(update optional)

--Note

---CM12 installation requires alot of space to install (whatever you choose /system,/data,/cache memory + 1gb of space)

---CM12 default kernel refuses to boot, my solution was to use SlimLP kernel and modules.

--Have tested

---CM12: issue as mentioned above

---SlimLP boots fine

-- if anyone results differ, please report.

Get it in the 1st post
[HTC One X] wsjohn:
I flashed the v30 update in recovery. It works, even the twrp is updates, but none of the lollipop roms is instelling. They all abort with the error in updater.zip which you get when you have a incompatibel recovery.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
what ROM are you trying to install?

are you getting failed to execute /tmp/mr_update.zip?

how much free space on sdcard have you got?

can you provide /tmp/recovery.log after you get the error please.

As I said, for CM12 anyway (can't recall SlimLP) , you need a minimum of 1GB(I had 2 if i recall) free on the sdcard after selecting the partition sizes for the installation to go ahead... it might be even more.
[HTC One X] wsjohn:
Silly me... After i freed up more space it works like a charm... Sorry
[HTC One X] bilbonotry:
Hello,

thanks Thunder for your wonderful tools. It is quite amazing to be able to have several ROMs on hox. I have questions though, concerning kernel management. When installing a secondary ROM, included kernel gets installed, right? No need to flash it afterwards? A few times also, I lost access to my internal ROM, how to use aroma KL flasher to write boot back? I mean, in which menu of which recovery do I have to launch KL ? Or is it possible with multirom recovery ? Thank you.

---------- Post added at 03:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:00 PM ----------

Forgot another question : I installed CM12 as secondary with several Go free, but it does not boot. I tried flashing slim kernel with KL but with no luck. How did you flash it please ?
[HTC One X] Thant:
Aroma KL is only for your Internal ROM and you must to run it from your main recovery. When you lunch KL and choice the zip will ask you for boot.img and then to flash modules after that. For the second rom CM you must to go in recovery on MultiROM TWRP and choice your CM rom then remove boot.img and add boot.img from SlimLP kernel then flash modules from zip And flash SlimLP modules then restart the phone and voala. everything work. And aroma KL is not for MultiROM dont lunch it from there
[HTC One X] bilbonotry:
Thank you, so I have to make a zip with slim kernel modules (/system/lib) ?
[HTC One X] cappuccina:
thunder07 already provided a flashable zip with slim modules. ;)
[HTC One X] bilbonotry:
OK my bad, thank you I had seen this but forgot it.

Edit : I had also used boot.img from 2nd SlimLP build which is not compatible with 20150104 CM12, now it is OK
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
My pleaure.

Yes, but everynow if you notice a failed boot after a new install, expect the boot extraction to have failed...

its rare, but some roms, mostly sense roms, remove the boot flash line from their zips entirely, thus MR cant locate the boot to flash it.

when this happens, you need to extract the boot.img manually and add it, just like you added SlimLP kernel to CM12.
[HTC One X] Thant:
[MENTION=618483]Thunder07[/MENTION] are we have limitation when we creating partition can we configure System 2GB, Data 6Gb, and cache 2GB? Because I see when I want to create new rom it ask me for partiton img but I see limitation to 4GB max all partition together??? Are we have some limitation or we can creat what we want? I first ask and then will try:)
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
There is a limitation introduced by the vfat format of the /sdcard

however that applies to each partition seperately,

so if you want it could be 4GB /system 4GB /data 4GB /cache.
[HTC One X] Thant:
[MENTION=233493]Thunder[/MENTION] can you look at this. Are you must to change something?
[HTC One X] bilbonotry:
Does someone know the minimum sizes for system, data and cache to install slim lp ? I do not have much space on my SD.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
I'm really not keen on this, (though I haven't looked at it in detail... as it could simply be a boardconfig.mk change which is fine... but that will also effect users which dont want to change)

I'm not sure how much will that effect the recovery... specially considering how TWRP_MR is sync'ed from Tasssadar which is sync'ed from Main TWRP...

if they do this, I'll have to sync from both(hopefully just cherry-picking from teemo) and pray to god nothing conflict each other.

Personally,... i don't know.. there are other option, which as formating sdcard to ext4, which increases file size limit.. allowing us to make 6-8-10GB data partition, without changing anything... so we'll see...

and if you haven't noticed, I only update MR during my breaks, if something breaks you'd be stuck with it for a while.

anyways, we'll wait and see what happens.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
ill say 500 will do... just do a simple test with this size.. after it flash check how much free space left on the partition after boot.. if much is free.. do the maths and do another flash.
[HTC One X] bilbonotry:
Thanks, actually 512 was enough for system and data. I reduced cache to put a little more to system and data.
[HTC One X] cappuccina:
Hi,

sorry if that's been mentioned,

but does this also apply on an installation as internal rom? or only when trying to install as secondary?

cause I am unable to get Resurrection Remix LP or Aicp LP to boot.

would I also just use slim modules and boot.img?

cause I tried but failed. only getting bootloop.

mostly I get nervous and restore my backup because I'm short on time and need my phone ;)

so can someone please clarify?

thx in advance :D
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
I'd imagine it's applicable to both internal and secondary roms, as the principal idea is the same.

I know you know you're zeus kernel, so I don't know what else to suggest...

I face the same dilemma, this is my only phone, and I only really have the weekend to test stuff like this... The irony is, the weekend is probably the only 2 days I need my phone to be on :/

But to be honest, cm12 and slimlp are the only lollipop Roms I tried(just for the sake of it)... And before they're stable, I have no interest in them, thus why I haven't tested them yet (and the reason I won't use the new layout with twrp_mr just yet ) ... But I'll have a quick look this weekend, if you can wait.
[HTC One X] cappuccina:
for sure I can wait. no hurry at all.

it's as you said, your free time on the weekend is the time where you most need your phone. ;)

actually I would like to try LP roms just out of curiosity. cause everybody seems so happy already.

I have probably too much apps anyway I would need to install. ;)

take your time.

I'm totally happy with everything you provided already. [emoji106]

can't remember when I last needed a pc for flashing/switching roms :D

the only bug I have with multirom is on secondary roms I am unable to access folders/files that have "äöü" in them. but they are not many and if there is I can rename them when on internal rom.

just to let you know

thanks again for all you've done for our HOX!
[HTC One X] bilbonotry:
[MENTION=618483]Thunder07[/MENTION] : twrp_mr won't be able to install a ROM using the new layout even as secondary ? As I understand it already fools up system as to where partitions are.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
It will install them, just you won't be able to run them... Not until I update it anyway...

Which I will do, but I'm just waiting for a stable release to do so...

As I said above, don't have much time to test LP, not when they're unstable, but even I will have to move to them, which will be the test itself.
[HTC One X] bilbonotry:
Of course, wait to see how the new layout will do.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
[MENTION=2386852]cappuccina[/MENTION]

Sorry for the late reply, I had a dental appointment last weekend and once im outside the house, its really hard to get me back in,

anyways, I just installed cm-Resurrection_Remix_LP_v5.3.3-20150204-endeavoru using MR without a problem, the boot animation does take sometime before the actual boot, but thats about it, it installed without any form of modifcation, so i can only assume it should work just fine with zeus as the main OS.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
edit:Update MultiROM v31 (New Layout)

--Merged upstream

Update MultiROM v30 (New Layout)

-- MR now supports New Layout

now all MR roms share a common storage, this works better as you only use as much space as data on the rom.

instead of having to preserve 500mb for system 2gb for data etc.

--Only for new layout, must be used with ZeusKL v10

Update ZeusKL v10

--replaced init, with my own init to prevent attempted rom boot as kexec is fired up

--Only for new layout

Update KL-AromaFM B4.5

--Updated to work with ZeusKL v10

-- Removed flash location to simplify the process (now, always /sdcard/ZeusKL/)

--Display current kernel/ramdisk at the bottom of the flasher page

--Only for new layout

Get it in the 1st post
[HTC One X] Thant:
[MENTION=618483]Thunder07[/MENTION] thank you very much for the update I have one question if I want my main rom to be sense but second rom to be lolipop with the new layout how will work. I will update the Zeus with v10 then update the MultiROM then are everything will be OK with my main sense rom, and if I go in MultiROM chice TWRP and flash SlimLP with the new layout are will I have some problems?
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
if you're sticking with sense, you need to stay with Zeus v9 and v30 and AromaKL v8.1,

as the new layout is not cross compatible with old layout.

as it stands, AromaKL v8.5, ZeusKL.v10 & MR v31 are not compatible with old layout.

but since ZeusKL is now LP based, it should be able to boot older kernels,

if so, I'll can update it, so you can use Sense & LP, but both will have to use old layout, which mean, you'll need to stick with MR v30.

but for now, if you're using Sense, Don't update to this release yet.
[HTC One X] Thant:
OK thank you I will using sense for now I need really stable rom for my phone I need the phone 24/7 that is important for me and my job. Thank you again:good:

And will wait for the really stable LP Rom
[HTC One X] reubenvarghese1:
what is sd fix zip for?

what is sd fix zip for? i tried to install it but it failed and i am on the old layout and any particular reason why it is happening?

thanks

by the way i love ur work :D:good:
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
that should be flashed on the secondary rom, to fix sdcard mount and make it writable.
[HTC One X] reubenvarghese1:
installed secondary Rom and facing issues

I installed cm12 the latest one without the new layout used.I also flashed slim lp modules and slim lp boot.img too but when I go to multi Rom and try to reboot into cm12 it reboots into multi Rom again and again when I try to reboot into cm12 from there it says kexec hard boot kernel is not installed(it is installed) then I reboot again into multi Rom I Am able to rebooT into internal Rom and twrp and of I try to boot into cm12 again the same thing happens .I also have installed sd fix.zip.

Thanks

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

And yeah I also have more than 2gb after the flashing.Rom is the cm12 build just before the new layout support came out
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
Alright Guys,

I created this kernel to avoid having to go to the PC everytime you want to flash a new kernel or ROM.

when I updated this Kernel to v10 I removed the option to flash the kernel to different partitions, and made /sdcard the default option,

but soon after I realized the mistake.... now everytime you create a backup, which you restore later might cause kernel/system mismatch,

So i have setup this poll to see if you're ok with me changing the kernel location again.. which mean one more PC flash.

the proposed location would put the kernel on the /system partition, so if you ever flash a ROM.zip, you'd need to update the kernel as well,

as ROM.zip usually wipe /system, however, that will also mean that backups will also backup the kernel, so when you restore a backup, it will work straight away.

decide and vote.

Edit:

just realised this is in the wrong thread... poll still on.
[HTC One X] Thunder07:
when i get a chance this weekend, Ill update the old layout kernel and hopefully that will fix that...

otherwise, did you try using CM12 as it is?

and also which Zeus are you using Alex/Faux? as i tested this method with Faux.

finally, I'm now on the new layout, so it's inconvenient for me to switch back to test,

if possible I’d recommend you move to the new layout.... with that said, I know CM12 new layout works fine with MR.
[HTC One X] reubenvarghese1:
stuck at boot animation in cm12

Yes I Am using faux zeus.I got it to boot by plugging phone with charger and doing the same stuff like before but now it is at boot animation for a long time.do u know as to approximately how much time it takes to boot up? I can't switch to new layout as sense Rom is my primary Rom:D
