Finally got it worked . Successfully running the Color OS2 as secondary Rom :victory:

MIUI doesn't boot as secondary, no matter how many time I install, wipe, backup and install. :(

Anyways loving the Multirom :cool:

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Bro, did you try using the Multirom Manager app?

If not I suggest you to use it to flash the kernel. That will replace the FOTA. (I used Xperia Manager to wipe FOTA and flash Kexec kernel, it worked well and simple but you need to buy it from playstore)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] marceldossantos91:
I thank u for ur advice, only issue is that south africa is very behind in terms of play store, we can only buy in means of credit cards which is quiet difficult to obtain here and has insane interest rates. our debit cards do not allow international payments for apps as much as im a fair player, it is quiet ridiculous we cannot pay for play store items.

But i have tried from a stripped ftf to flash over and start from the beggining all over again from pure stock, still does not work, i would try the app if i could though. Any other means of doing this? Thanks..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Rajesh.b:
I can understand and sad that you can not buy app from Play store.

Try this.. You can remove the Dual Recovery by deleting "Dual Recovery.sh" from System/Bin. So there will only be one recovery. I tried it and worked for me before.

(use caution. Keep flash tool and stock ftf ready just in case)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] shoey63:
For those who are stuck with the wrong recovery in Fota -

Flash This (It will restore your fota partition to stock), and try again ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] JediRAMA:
i have miui as secodary rom, and it works good! read up this chat, find my msg about few stock based rom in multirom.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] marceldossantos91:
It did wipe my fota and thank you! I still have the same issue though, upon installing multirom twrp installs but i can only boot into recovery after the rom booting, and still no multiboot options :(
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
I can confirm that method works, but when I have a stock 4.3 rom and a stock 4.4.2 rom (BOTH with kexec-kernels) there's always one that doesn't boot.

Also if I swap both into secondary and use carbonrom as primary, one of them won't boot (especially the IHackers rom, existenz boots fine as secondary)

But when I swap IHackers back to internal, and thus having carbonrom and existenz as secondary, it boots normal, and updates nfc at first boot but existenz won't boot as secondary anymore.

Then when I swap the IHackers to secondary and existenz to internal, IHackers won't boot anymore, and existenz will update nfc at first boot.

Tried all combination of kernels, stock, patched, stock, simplekernel, hodorkernel, IHackers kernel.

I think the problem is the baseband/nfc difference between stock 4.3 and stock 4.4.2

Also, cm10 / cm11 / any other custom rom give me no problems, even no nfc firmware update
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
Isnt it that arona installer isnt working with multiboot?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Yes I know but I'm taking backup of my roms, swap the internal to secondary, and then flash the aroma installer. (flash as normal, not in multirom menu)

Afterwards I'm untick reboot device now so I can flash kexec kernel
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
it would be awesome that multible roms use the same (primary roms) apps that where downloaded via playstore,would that be possible for multiRom in the future?or is that permission wise not possible for android to accomplish
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
that's not a good idea,sharing app data could lead into bug problems. its good to have totally separated roms as it prevents crashing first rom from seconds...

Forgot to mention I have compiled and uploaded a kernel compatible with the new CM11 nightlies (which use the .230/233 blobs and kernel). Please do let me know if you face any issues.

Olivier do you know which build is this? it mentioned xperia z .

edit: it's android 4.4.4 for DoCoMo. I supposed it shares same kernel source with .283 ?[emoji13]
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
will multirom becone compatible with aroma installer?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] rbrandser:
What happens if I flash this on Xperia z ultra? :D
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] xarive:
just another building material - brick.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
It is compatible,.

-Just move your internal (primary) to external via swap menu.

-Now flash aroma installer rom as primary and make sure you flash kexec kernel right after.

-Boot up normally

-(optional)boot back in multirom twrp and now you swap your internal with the one which was the internal before

Here's a case. I had my primary as .233 stock before I flashed the new .283. After I flashed new .283 firmware, it somehow became my primary and I can't boot into multiROM TWRP anymore. I had my MultiROM manager installed and the kernel for .283 was not patched with kexec (of course it is not patched).

Here's my question. Can I boot into secondary (CM 11) using MultiROM manager ? What would happened to my primary stock ROM?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
If the kernel is not kexec-hardboot-patched, you can't boot anything but your primary ROM. Flashing MultiROM and/or installing the app won't help much either.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] comax70:
Sorry where is different for change first on second rom boot? Es first is aosb and second stock...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] the-blind-bandit:
flashable .zip

Could we have a flashable .zip for MultiROM TWRP, it would solve all of our problems with recovery?

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] X10_minipro:
I've read the first post but I'm having a lot on my mind and a bit of trouble understanding everything. Is it possible to multiboot MIUI and PA? Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Vishalkris:
Yes you can but u need to have a kernel with multi boot support... So go for PA and check if their kernel is patched if not get a patched kernel which will work on PA and then install miui as secondary ROM
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] X10_minipro:
PA is AOSP based and MIUI is based on stock, therefore they require different kernels (AOSP based and stock based kernel) but that doesn't matter?

Thanks again.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Vishalkris:
PA is cm based so better you go for PA as primary and miui as secondary... It doesn't matter if the secondary kernel is patched or not but primary kernel should be patched.. Go to PA thread and read few post u might come to know other kernels compatible with PA..
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
Miui uses aroma installer so install as primary
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
A new build is up!

Now, the app can flash MultiROM TWRP to the FOTA partition. Once this has been done, it won't complain about TWRP not being installed anymore. Now that that bug has been fixed, this project can be considered stable. Update using the app (MultiROM Manager) or get the latest builds from my build server (links can be found in the second post)... :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
Will update multi rom and flash emidiatly.

Ps will it become compatible to install second rom with aroma installer?

Not to be a dik about it but asked before but didnt got a awnser sorry to ask again

Edit

Wow wow wow

Multi rom is asking root over and over and over and over ect ect.

Dont want to spam but just a heads up ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] KINGRANKAR:
can i flash to my stock .230 with your patched stock kernel. i have root & cwm
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
Some Stock-based ROMs have weird updater-scripts, AROMA makes it all worse.

Can't reproduce this neither on Stock (4.4.4) nor on OmniROM, sorry. Clear data & cache of the app.

Sure.

Hi

I installed the secondary ROM (PAC MAN) and worked perfectly! Thanks a lot :)

Just a few questions because I'm really new to the multi boot stuff :p

1) how can I install stock/stock based ROMs? Last time I did that, I got something like the PC black screen with the white text (just wiped the secondary ROM and fixed)

2) how can I modify/edit/delete/add the system files (like APKs) of the secondary ROM? Where I find them?

3) can I do a nandroid backup of the secondary ROM?

Thanks!!!!

TapaTalked from my MultiROM Xperia™ Z (C660²) running Dirty Unicorns OR PAC MAN ROM!
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
1) As described before many times you have to install stock rom as first, do backup and restore as second.

2) You can't, because this files are in multirom folder which is protected. Maybe you can make folder content see and writeable, but i don't know how.

3) See backup option and do backup ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] androidfreak70:
Thanks for that!

Do you know where MultiROM folder is?

sORRY FOR MY ENGLISH, This may sound very noob:eek:

1) If i flash boot_230.img given at "important point 5", should i flash again supported kernal from "instruction 2".

2) Which mode i should flash Fastbootmode or flash mode, should i have unlocked bootloader.(i have CWM/TWRP dualrecovery)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
Fixed.

Just flash the boot_230.img then grab one of the supported kernels.

Hi

Im on ezistenz 1.5.5 android 4.4.2 and xzkv26 kernel

Is these steps that should i do for installing second rom!?:

1.unistall xzkv26

2.install simplekernel that you link via fastboot on flashtool or flashing via recovery?!

3.go to modified twrp that installed with simplekernel and flash second rom for example nameless rom or pac man!?

Does my informations in existenz v 1.5.5 will.be deleted!!?

Thanks
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] agha_jo0n:
i have this question that you answered but i couldnt understand what should i do?

hust flash boot_230.img with flashtools and then? ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] agha_jo0n:
No body is here!? :(
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
Yes, flash kernel, then flash multirom, after that you can go to multtirom twrp and flash second roms. Don't know if simplekernel has twrp, but if not flashing multirom.zip will inject the right recovery...

...and no data of existing rom will be deleted, but as everytime doing nandroid backup before flashing is good...
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] agha_jo0n:
I have ezistenz v1.5.5 as my first and namelesd for my second rom

How should i flash lighting kernel for my second rom!?

Thank.you
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
Go to multirom menu, choose the right rom, use flash zip option. Same as updating second rom, installing gapps...

It is possible for us to have the same feature? ?

Sure thing - I'll build a new version today.

Gesendet von meinem Xperia Z mit Tapatalk
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
of its using aroma installer you cant flash it directly as a second,

you have to flash it as primary first,then make a nandroid of it and restore it as a second rom
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
The new update is up, you can get it using the OP or by downloading it from my host (links can be found in the second post as usual).
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
Great thing, thx for new upgrade. One little question: I installed newest recovery with multirom app, thought it would install in fota, but after installing kernel i got older 2.7.1 recovery. No big thing, installed multirom again and had 2.8 again, but shouldn't it stay in fota? Or did i have to flash the image to fota?

Another thing: Tried to install some rom at sdcard, works, but i'm not able to start it in bootmanager...and its slow like with usb-otg, but i think thats normal, maybe. Seems that installing in image is not really usable, maybe with extremely fast sdcard....
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] agha_jo0n:
Hi

I have v28 how should i update it?!

I don't have multirom manager

Download the new build and flash in twrp over old build!?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] nihilista:
Yes, flash in twrp over existing one ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
That's a "bug" in all ROM's ramdisks. The extract_elf_ramdisk binary doesn't allocate enough buffer to the uncompressed ramdisk (well, usually it does, but MultiROM TWRP is just huge) - as a result, the ramdisk can't be loaded from FOTA and the current recovery ramdisk is used instead.

I have already built a fixed binary and was thinking of providing a flashable zip, but then this would be obsolete since the multirom installer fixes it (since MultiROM v28x).

And yes, it's better to install ROMs to the internal storage.

I flashed boot_230.img and install multirom. after that i installed custom rom(v 4.4.4) and a stock rom pre installed(.283).

Both booted up successfully , Problem is now that wifi is not working on stock rom.

You should provide .283 image for this problem to solve. I flashed .283 rooted kernel but no use.

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
You don't have to make the nandroid for swapping roms.

If you wanna install rom with aroma installer, just move internal rom to secondary via swap menu, then flash aroma installer.

(also if you flash any aroma using mods, you can swap the rom you wanna flash a mod to internal and just flash)

Also you can swap roms as much as you want or need but keep in mind that internal rom always needs a kexec enabled kernel in order to boot the secondary roms ;)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
ok....my primary is xistenz rom just for the xperia camera app and xperia goodies.

my secondary (my dailey driver) is mokee.

i dont want to delete any of thos but realy wanna try mui v5 and that must be installed al primary so how do i make the switch so i can instal mui v5? lot of confusing things in my head hahaha

and will recovery be still in there cauwlse i read aboit it that it was gone hahah
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
I don't know about the recovery thing but I think as long as you have the multirom twrp in fota it must be alright.

For the installation, follow these:

-twrp/advanced/multirom/swap roms/move internal rom to secondary.

-Go back to twrp main menu, install/select zip miui.

Also keep in mind, you have to flash kexec kernel after it.

If aroma installer boots directly to system, let it do its thing and boot back to recovery to flash the kexec kernel and multirom installer.

Please note, I was able to have two stock based roms installed at the same time, both using an kexec kernel, but only internal rom will boot.

When I swapped the internal stock based rom "X " with the other secondary stock based rom "Y" only "Y" will boot and "X" can't,.

When swap back "X" will boot and "Y" don't.

So I guess want you want is not really possible, only if you don't mind swapping roms before booting the other stock based rom.

Ps: I even tried with for example carbon rom as primary and two stock based roms as secondary and didn't work.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
this gave me a sh#t load of troubles...ill tell tomottow
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
well...swapped roms,giving me mokee on primary and xistenz on secondary,mokee booted but i realised that the kernel isnt supported so my twrp an multirom were gone,so i installed cm kernel and multiboot v28 from the manager app,installed cm kernel and give me loadssss of troubles (com.androidprocess ect ect) but it installed! so booted back to twrp and switched back to xistenz as a primary and before i rebooted i flashed zombie kernel just in case...so still on xistenz on primary and mokee as a secondary so not able to flash muiu at this point hahaha

so what kernels to use with mokee and what kernel for muiu if i come that far hahaha

btw

when flashing another primary rom wit that delete pre installed primary or will it move over in a secondary slot?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
An update.

Well i just installed muiu v5 as primary and without reboot i flashed hodor so i still have multi rom at place,and now the fun part.....my secondary roms dont have any cell phone coverage...its lika a tablet now,and cant switch the reception on,

Now in the instalwizzard of muiu it asked for activation of the simcard,so i did,can this be why my sim (probably blocked or encrypted in other phones( e.q. In secondary rom) ) isnt working?

Like the good old simlock?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
No i had this before. Not with miui but I had same problem.

Fixed it by dirty flashing the secondary roms.

(wipe cache, dalvik cache, flash 'n reboot)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
well i did everything all over again and now all is good i have miui v5 with hodor as primary and mokee as a secondary, still dont know witch kernel to use if i wanna sqap mokkee with miui
