Hi, thanks for this new multirom version, tested with Validus 5.0, it works !

Only one thing to do is to inject the boot.img to prevent bootloop ;)

hi

i used existenz ultimate 3 rom and lightning kernel with modifed twrp by [MENTION=4679677]langeveld024[/MENTION] and when i try to update my multirom installer through multirom manager and after the recovery works done it didnt boot up:(

i flash the boot.img of my lightning recovery with fast boot

the recovery flashed but the phone didnt come up yet:( (i didnt see sony logo also)

edit1: i flash TWRP_multirom_20141208-00 through fastboot

the recovery comes up but i couldnt go to any of my roms(it just go to recovery)

i flashed the lastest multirom v30 and the same

it just go to recovery!

edit 2 :

i after flashing TWRP_multirom_20141208-00.img i flash multirom installer and after that flash lightning kernel

all was good and phone booted up but my secondarys roms deleted:(

and also when i tried to flash cm-12-20141217-INFECTED-yuga.zip it gaves me mr_updater.zip error and fails

what should i do now ?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
U have to update recovery to flash LP.

It seems lightning kernel cannot be unpacked by multirom installer as of now.

So I did it this way:

I made another lightning v1 with the new twrp located here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/62v2cc7xkkya46a/lightningkernel-boot.img-1-multirom1208.zip

So that's v1 for 283 fw.

Flash that, flash auto-smp anykernel.

Reboot recovery.

Flash newest multirom installer.

Reboot recovery.

Flash lightning kernel v2

Reboot:thumbup:

wifi problem

I am using existenz ultimate rom v 3.0.0.

I flashed kernel omnirom and then multirom installer.

Then i installed CM12 Lollipop and injected boot.img from multirom menu.

My phone not booted to stock based rom,after that i flashed simple kernel .230 provided by you. Both the rom booted successfuly.

Now on stock based rom iam unable to use wifi. It dont turn on.

As far as i observed,it is due to to kernel issue, as on simple kernel or .230 kernel ,only multirom installer is needed to flash and all is ok. except wifi problem only in stock rom.

kindly help.

is there need of .283 kernel modified for multirom or wifi modules or libs are required?

Thanks

Im on CM 12 by infected_ and I want to install MultiROM.

For Kernel it says it supports kexec-hardboot

I'm on Philz Recovery

Can I install MultiROM without flashing an other kernel? :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Olivier:
I don't think so - he uses the CM device trees and the kernel, which doesn't support kexec-hardboot (I think Validus, Slim, AOSPA, Omni 5.0 (to be released soon) etc do). But you'd be better off asking him.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] badflife:
I am using infected cm12 latest build as a secondary Rom and it is working just fine. No problems.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] TheAvngrZ:
Yea, yea, but I want to install MultiROM for the first time on this ROM... There could be accur a problems cause of incompatibility :(:)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] badflife:
I am using PA 4,6 as primary Rom.

And the first build from infected cm 12 as a secondary Rom I flashed was from. 01.01.2015.

so you could flash that build first.

And then the latest.

What can go wrong?

Twrp can give you an error nothing will be harmed.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Why don't u make a nandroid, flash multirom compatible rom and kernel, and restore the backup as secondary :p
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] TheAvngrZ:
Yea.-- nothing at all :D thanks

Thats a good idea, I think about it... but as secondary ROM its a bit nasty for me - ok a bit - but ion this part im perfectioist :P Thanks!! :highfive:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] badflife:
Why that?

You could set in TWRP settings that the last rom which booted will be booted automatically the next time so you don't have to wait and choose the rom first.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Just make sure before u begin, u extract the boot.img from infected zip, and put it in your SD .

U may (or may not) need it when u restored the backup:

If the (as secondary) restored build won't boot, u need to go into recovery>advanced>multirom>list Rom's>(select the rom u restored)>delete boot.img

After that u should be again in the list roms screen.

Again choose that rom.

Now press "add boot.img" and navigate to the extracted boot.img.

Only do this just in case a secondary rom won't boot :thumbup:

Hi dear Olivier;

I have a sony xperia Z and its rom is the latest version of existenz ultimate(version 3) and with LOCKED bootloader.

Would u please tell me after unlocking bootloader, is it essential to flash any other kernel or not? And if yes, which kernel do u suggest?

Thanx in advance.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Noxxxious:
Hi my name is not Oliver, but..

After unlocking it is required to have a custom kernel which supports kexec-hardboot. This means it's essential to flash an other kernel if you want Multirom working and to use other roms like CM11/12 etc.

I think Oliver would obviously recommend his own kernel in this case: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z/orig-development/kernel-hodorkernel-t2865648
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mirsaeed.namdar:
Thanx for your kindness bro.

By the way, I forgot to mention that rom of my cellphone(which is eXistenZ ultimate version 3.0.0) is based on .283 kitkat android 4.4.4. But I guess I read here that the olivier's kernels are only for.230 build. Am I right or it's ok to flash olivier's kernel on.283 build?

Have a good time.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Noxxxious:
You misread it. The thread starts with these words: "PLEASE NOTE: This kernel is intended for ROMs based on 10.5.A.0.283/292 only" ...So the base version you are running is fine.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mirsaeed.namdar:
You're correct, sorry.

Omfg this is driving me insane!?!

Guys please help

My scenario

Primary

xistenz v3.5 with zombie kernel for multiboot capabilitys

Secondary

Flyme v4

How to swap them because i want to instal miui and have xistenz as a second.

Butt every f##6king time i swap roms (even xistenz with a aosp rom)

It gives me bootloop on both roms

Do i need to flash compatible kernels afterwords?

I realy dont know what im doing wrong and its driving me insane
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] comax70:
Existeinz3.5. Swap secondary with hodor. Kernel after install existeinz 6. With zombie kernel [emoji12]
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
Woow thisbisnt that clear what you mean,

Are you saying that i have to flash compatible kernel afterwards?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] comax70:
you swap the first rom with kernel MultiROM then wipe all the first flash rom and finally flash kernel and MultiROM
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] demon2112:
Howbcan i wipe....in swap rom menu isnt there an option.

So when i swapt xistenz to secondary i have to flash hodor or zombie kernel afterwords on secondary rom?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] comax70:
I had existenz 3.0.5 kernel with Hodor I did swap the secondary then I did wipe and installed existeinz 6 with zombie kernel and reinstalled MultiROM

The USB port is broken and I'm currently on Rom without root access or working recovery , the only thing i have is Multirom interface

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
No need to worry my friend.

There are a few apps that can root your device, after that install recovery via app. Search for it.

---------- Post added at 06:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:13 PM ----------

I don't think so, the kexec patch loads the selected ROM on boot so when booted up it will have same performance/battery life as it would have without multirom. What's the problem? Do u have poor battery life on a secondary ROM? Make sure to extract boot.img from that Rom's zip, in recovery go to advanced>multirom>select ROM>remove boot.img from that ROM, after that do "add boot.img" and select the img u extracted. That way the secondary ROM won't use the internal ROMs kernel .

[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Sorry, didn't read it is about cm12. I guess no app to root cm12.

But how did u lost root on cm12? All cm12 have root now.

What do u mean by clean installed ROM in sdcard? U mean backup of clean install? I don't know if that works bro because of different imei numbers etc. Restoring a backup from another phone may result in a hard-brick and dead motherboard.
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mohammed shhoat:
[MENTION=4679677]langeveld024[/MENTION] it's long story , first i use to have multirom and it still exist at least the booting interface that can make me boot to another rom

i installed candyrom which have broken root and the recovery is CM recovery which don't support flashing zip

so i'm currently on cm12 rom with no root access , working recovery or working usb port

so multirom has this future booting from external sd card so i thought to have someone else cm12 or cm11 install on external sd card then put it in my sd card and try to boot from it and flash working recovery

if i'm stock on this rom it means my phone is dead cause the rom has so many bugs so i have no problem trying any solution
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
Okay that's f#ckd bro. Well I'll advise u to replace USB port if u have the soldering skills or u know someone who can solder it in. I think the port won't cost that much.

But if u want to, I can clean install for u. Though , u have to think about the risks.

Btw: u can't restore as a second ROM, right? So what u are planning to do is: backup current ROM, wipe, restore my fresh backup, right?
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] mohammed shhoat:
what i want is install small rom with root access on external sd using multirom then upload the folder so i can download it and try to boot from it , it will show up when i boot that there is another rom and hope it work

and i have no problem with the risk the phone is kind of useless right now so i'm okay doing anything with it , and thanks man for helping me out :good:
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:

Please help to install secondary roms!

Details of my device-

XPERIA Z C6603 (BL unlocked ofcourse)

Kernel: Hodor kernel compatible with .283/.292 fw based roms

Rom: Existenz 3.5.5 (Primary rom)

The problem is when i want to install secondary roms, there are many option among which, i don't know, which to choose like:

among the 'Android' and 'multirom files(.mmrom)'

and among the 'Internal' and 'dev/block/abcdxyz'

I want to install secondary rom, but please tell me exactly what do i need to choose and the reson behind doing so. Also, please do tell me, what is should 'NOT' do!

Also, I have tried installing the MIUI by replacing the boot.img from the miui rom zip with the boot.img from the hodor kernel.zip. Still I am getting the same error i.e. the rom doesn't startup if i choose miui from multiboot options , it just shows the mi.com bootanimation (or whatever you can call it), and then it just reboots. I mean what do i need to do exactly? I am not able to understand.

I am going to do the same in case of ultimate xz ultra v1.zip by rajeev and also with the MIUI v6 for Xperia z( not actual v6, but just themed like v6).

Please help guys, this is not that easy.

Thanks
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Quasar:
It actually IS that simple. The instructions are fairly clear. Your PRIMARY ROM MUST HAVE A MULTIROM COMPATIBLE KERNEL. The other ROMs you flash don't require any change. Just flash them as they are. And again, the instructions in the OP are clear. To add a ROM, just flash it from the advanced->MultiROM->Add ROM. Also note the warnings given in the OP about stock based ROMS. You just have to flash the primary ROM with a compatible kernel the normal way. Then just keep adding ROMs via MultiROM settings in the recovery. Please make it a habit to read EVERYTHING in the OP. Usually, stuff is given pretty clearly over there. :)
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] Siddhesh Sapre:
Bro i have read everything. I understand. But I have done what has been mentioned in the OP and as you said. But the secondary rom installed doesn't boot or stucks at the XPERIA logo. Then I have to use just my primary rom. I have faced difficulties, and therefore I am asking these questions. I would be obliged of you can understand me and kindly help me out with the issue!

Thanks
[Xperia Z Original Android Development] langeveld024:
MIUI is stock based isn't it? Install it as primary rom and use a kexec enabled kernel, then download any aosp, omni, or aosp rom and flash it as instructed .

No problem at all
