that means if running kexec kernel and fota revovery it will work,but not if kernel has no kecec patch? or did fota recovery has its own kernel that has to be patched? mmm,btw,just get a piece of sleep first :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] AngelBob:
It will only work if running a kexec kernel & fota recovery, as the fota is loaded exactly as a cpio packed one.

So even though the fota has it's own kexec kernel it's not used to boot the fota.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
hmm,and that means multirom fota recovery and for example lightning kernel will work ok? which would be ok?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] acutraaq:
Your latest nightly works perfectly... I've install PA as my second rom
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] AngelBob:
Yes, but as you are flashing a kexec enabled kernel, it should come with multirom-twrp, so pointless duplicating it in FOTA.

We need to find a way of booting direct to FOTA and bypassing the normal boot method for FOTA to be useful
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
You are right, duplicating it is not really necessary. But as i remeber omnirom for example comes with kexec support but not with multirom recovery as standard. Btw, using lightning kernel and that has multirom recovery, yes. And yes, if its possible to get all into fota and having kexec support with all kernels, even if they dont have the patch that will be great...but seems hard, as i understand running kernel must have ability to hardreset to load other kernel? But ok, i'm just a user with little skills for coding that ;)

If more and more kernel/rom developers decides to make kexec patch standard it will hopefully not be necessary to do such tricky things :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
Another question: Has anyone managed to flash existenz or some other stock rom as second? Zipfile is too big for temp, so multirom did something like splitting and then flashes, but after that install fails. Just wanted to test that and not flash as first (i think if i backup that and flash the backup maybe it works). I never used stock rom so its not important for me, but i want to learn ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
i guess it isnt possible yet to use stock based as a second rom,but i have it as a first rom and i must say ....im lovin it,im enjoyen the best of both worlds aosp and its tweakt by dirty unicorns and xperia with its walkman enhancements and of course its camera and bravia,the only thing that bothers me is that in the 1st rom i have a internet banking app that is recognised by my banks database as a c6603 and when im on second rom (you guessed it) doesnt recognise it as a c6603 but as a generic android phone so it doesnt work,i know its a security measure by my bank and im ok with that,but cant i just edit the build prop so im fooling my bankingapp and thinking its a yuga ? what so i need to edit and will it interfer with multi boot?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] akisg:
Why is that i have auto-boot screen displayed for a second time everytime i boot from my primary rom?

If i boot from my secondary rom, no second auto-boot screen.

Any ideas?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
Yes, because MultiROM has been injected twice (/ and /sbin/ramdisk.cpio). I have already fixed that.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
New builds (intended for OmniROM and possibly also DU) are up, you can get them here. This time, I have packed up the kernel along with the modules into a handy, flashable zip (e.g.: kernel-multirom-20140831-yuga.zip). The changelog has also been updated.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
I assume TWRP was updated too , right?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] zakitheracer:
Can I just flash the multirom zip to update the multirom bootloader on stock based boot.IMG?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
Yup.

You better wait for the new stock-based kernel.

--

BTW guys, a new build is up (yes, I sometimes build multiple times a day), MultiROM should be stable now. It's now really easy to flash MultiROM, because you don't need to flash my kernel if the one you use is kexec-hardboot-patched. Just flash the multirom installer zip and it will inject MultiROM and replace the recovery ramdisk, which means MultiROM TWRP will be automatically installed. :D

can you make this for other devices like zl and zr thanks

2 stock based ROMs in multirom

When will be possible to get stock rom as secondary or to get more then 1 stock based roms in multirom? like existens and MIUI and stock

With v28 after click reboot system multirom boot me to recovery again. i have stock based rom with ur kernel 230.img
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
Once again - it's not possible because they use Stock boot.imgs, which can't be unpacked. I wouldn't mind if they used my boot.img though.

Sorry but that's not my problem - you flashed a MultiROM build intended for OmniROM.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] JediRAMA:
is it possible if i'll put your boot.img to the stock rom and then flash the rom?

about 2nd problem i understand now.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Tommy-Geenexus:
No.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
A new kernel for Stock-based (.230/233) ROMs is up. Just flash it and MultiROM.

2 stock based ROMs in multirom succes!!

i have succes with installing stock based rom as primary rom and miui rom as secondary! if anyone need i can write what i did
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] akisg:
Which miui rom did u flashed? The one i tried was stuck on boot.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] JediRAMA:
MIUI 4.8.22

yea i had the same problems but now MIUI booting ok. what i did:

installed miui as primary rom with kernel(230) from here 1st ver. then flashed multirom. After that i made backup, then i installed stock based rom (ultimate blackXZ) with all wipes, and after flash in multirom made Advanced -> MultiROM -> Inject curr. boot sector.

then i just added MIUI as secondary rom from backup. After that 2-3 times i had bootloop, then i booted primary rom, then again miui, and miui booted!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] comax70:
Advance twrp don't have option multirom...why? i have stock 230 flash kernel and multirom...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
Because this is just a Stock-based kernel with kexec-hardboot support. You need to flash the MultiROM installer anyway, which will replace the recovery ramdisk.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] JediRAMA:
another sacces

i found one interesting thing. Its possible to have more then one stock based roms in multirom, i have existenz, ultimate blackxz, miui. 3 stock based roms!!!!!!!

what i did to get them in multirom: i installed every rom as primary with last kernel for stock from here, then i did twrp backup, so i have working twrp backup with kexec kernel. then i did all wipes and installed again stock rom as primary, then i flashed secondary stock based roms from backup. And it works!

so im very happy! i have existenz as primary, and secondary ultimate blackxz, miui, omni!!!!!

UPD: Need to delete dual recoverys from every rom, otherwise you can get boot loop into recovery. So will be only multirom recovery.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
Another fine thing is that we have holofied theme for twrp with multirom support now, much better looking than standard theme :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] comax70:
Install last carbon and multirom..don t have advance... Twrp
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] AngelBob:
Then it's booting the wrong TWRP.

What Carbon are you using?

Hello all,

2 days ago when on vacation i decided to temper around with my OnePlus one that i recently bought (have bought the Chinese version but it was already rooted and had cyanoged mod on it)

All was fine until i decided to flash Paranoid Android and i posted a question here, about how to bypass the always apearing CyanogenMod Simple Recovery tool.

After trying what everyone suggested and not getting result i had 1 last thing that someone suggested:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=54717885

I misunderstood and i renamed the .zip file from paranoid sources into recovery.img and flash (Kernel) it via some app from play store, i thin it was TRWL

Now my phone is stuck into loading faze and the only thing i can do is enter Fastboot mode.

I tried to do a:

fastboot erase cache

But it did not work, its still stuck in loading and will not do anything.

Could you help me out ? I have a really bad feeling i just lost my phone due to hurrying and not having a pc around to read more.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omvir:
You can try to fastboot flash recovery(original or proper one that works) but I don't know the exact commands.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
In the first case where your recovery would not switch from CM to TWRP/CWR was because you had "Update CM Recovery" enabled in Developer Options. If you ticked that off, then it would have replaced CM Recovery. Its confusing yeah.

So wait... you renamed the .zip to a .img? Thats not good. But at least you can enter fastboot mode so thats at least something. Is your bootloader still unlocked? Are you able to boot into recovery mode? Try fastboot boot <name-of-recovery-for-twrp>.img and see if you can get into recovery.

If you can then perform a wipe and then enable adb sideload within TWRP and then type,

adb sideload <name-of-zip>.zip and then after its done sideloading, reboot
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidockq:
Thanks for the answer.

I managed last night out of 10 flash resets to get the Custom Recovery Tool to booth up.

I was about to give up when i saw it boot and i immediately flashed the CM .zip i had on the phone from last time.

[General Questions and Answers] danhalen1:
I have been following the progress of various LG phones, and editing the aboot img to basically disable the secure boot function so that we are able to boot recoveries and roms. I have been working on the lg ls740 aka lg volt. Our phone will require more modifications than what works on the other lg phones.

On our phone, when aboot fails, it defaults to load abootb. Aboot and abootb are identical except for one minor detail, aboot has ANDROID-BOOT! at the end of the file, and abootb has nothing in that spot. When aboot b loads, it boots into the qualcom mass storage usb mode, and we have no way to recover the phone from that.

It would seem that the ANDROID-BOOT! might be what triggers the phone to boot normally, and if i could modify abootb to boot normally if aboot fails it would mean i could spend more time testing the hack on aboot. This would be better than bricking a phone while trying to test.

But adding ANDROID-BOOT! to the proper spot in abootb would seem like that would be far too easy. Anybody who is familiar with the way the bootloading system and checks work care to chime in?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeUsesAndroidDevice:
The user experience is poor and/or bad if it comes to the question of location services by GPS.

Locked position gets lost as soon as

-) display switched off

-) switching to other app

Every app seems to be responsible on itself to lock the position.

I wonder why can't it be designed as it is with e.g. contacts provider service, a centralized

well-knonw for other app vendors provider manages the contacts and makes it possible

to access the contacts from apps.

As for GPS currently the locked position gets lost even if one switches from one app

to other app where both apps use GPS position for their functionalities.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baineteo:
Hi all!

I need to transfer photos from my SD card (from camera) into my ext hdd when I'm travelling. Therefore, after much research, I figured a USB hub would be able to serve my need (saw people doing it with the Nexus tablet). So I ran out and got the following stuff:

- Powered USB Hub (USB 3.0)

- SD Card Reader

- Ext 2.5" HDD

- OGT Cable

I tested the set up with only one device at a time (either SD card or hdd connected only, via the hub) and it works. However, when I plug in both, they phone is only able to detect ONE (most likely in the order to plugging in).

Does anyone have any idea how will I be able to make the phone see BOTH devices at the same time?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!

P.S. Although my post is specific to the Xperia Z1 Compact, I believe it applies to most (if not all) modern Android phones.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkid89:
Hello everyone,

Here is the sad tale:

I recently got my Kindle Fire HDX and immediately started fiddling with it. Got it rooted and installed GApps using KindleFree. I then decided to buy KindleFree Pro to tweak even more. I fiddled around with the custom launcher option and basically bricked the device all within the same day that I got it! I'm not sure what that option changed exactly behind the scenes but I was able to ADB in and noticed that Launcher-release-signed_82046410.apk has a size of 0kb... that can't be right so I figured I'd start there...

First, I'd like for someone to confirm the size of theirs, if it isn't 0kb (which I doubt it will be) then can someone kindly upload that APK so I can load it up and hopefully get this thing working again?

Alternatively, can anyone suggest a way to simply reflash the stock rom via ADB somehow? I never installed safestrap and I don't think it can be installed via ADB. At least not that I've seen.

Thanks!

There are a few Devs still working on a way to flash something from fast boot no ETA means no promises seems the only fix for you may be to call Amazon . And maybe someone will chime in with a way to sideload an app I'm not sure. Good luck
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkid89:
I should have listened to the warnings when people said it was easy to brick! I've been modifying devices since the windows mobile days before android and never once have felt this hopeless! Safestrap will be the first thing I do once I get this running again.

The good news is I still have SU root access in ADB without needing a Fastboot cable. I'm thinking everything else but the launcher loads so it is pretty much fully functional but with no gui. It sometimes will even boots to the lock screen but unlocks to a black screen.

I think I should be able to sideload the launcher if someone can get me the apk.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jimyv:
well

If your patient somebody savvy enough will come by. and actually I know that I have read that someplace here I couldn't tell you where sorry. And if you're hoping for somebody to drop off the apk for you probably should let them know which firmware you are. Or you could always download the Bin file of your current firmware and exract it. Downloaded to an android rename it .zip and extract
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkid89:
That's a good idea but I don't know where to get the bin file or how to confirm I have the correct one. I had just updated so I believe it was the latest version. I'm thinking it's v13.3.2.1 or maybe v13.3.2.4 it said there were no more updates available so it should be the latest.

Thank you for your help! I actually got it working shortly after my last post but got right into installing safestrap. ?

I'll post a write up tomorrow on what needed to be done in case anyone else has the issue. It's late where I'm at so I need to get some rest before trying to write it all up!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkid89:
Ok! Now that I have a fresh mind I can document the steps I took to correct this issue.

How did this happen to begin with? I think that when I tried to set a custom launcher as default using KindleFree Pro, the launcher I selected was unable to load properly or something interrupted the process. Either way, it either would only load to the lock screen or just sit on the boot animation. I'm thinking the way that KindleFree works is that it replaces the default launcher apk with a link that points to the launcher you want to replace it with (hence the 0kb size). Either that or something got corrupted during the process of changing the launcher. I'm not sure what KindleFree does behind the scenes so this is all just speculation.

Anyways, on to the good stuff. Once I noticed the launcher was 0kb, thats where I decided to direct my troubleshooting efforts. I posted this thread hoping someone would upload the stock launcher for me to replace it with but jimyv gave me the idea to just grab it from the bin. I ended up finding the bin file here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201357190 before he replied with the direct link. The "Download Software Update" link is a direct link to the .bin file. I changed the extension, opened it up and found the launcher apk per jimyv's suggestion.

Once I had the file, I needed to get it onto the HDX. I more or less followed the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2588608

Instead of replacing the odex files, I replaced the launcher apk under /system/app/ As soon as it had finished copying over, the device went from the boot splash screen to the lock screen in what can only be described as a magical moment.

Interesting to note: Most people say that if you perform a factory reset from the stock recovery, your hopes of using ADB and having root are gone unless you get a factory/fastboot cable. I actually did perform a factory reset but for some reason was still able to use ADB and did not lose root access. I had used TowelRoot to root the device so I'm wondering if that is a more permanent means of rooting compared to other methods? Either way, I'm glad I didn't lose root. Otherwise I would have needed to wait for a factory cable to be shipped and to root it via ADB.
