Recovery update should now be available in the app. It fixes the broken version string in recovery. This is an optional update (but the version thing was bothering me).

Special thanks [MENTION=2977387]donmarkoni[/MENTION] for testing for me. I'm going to need more people like him as I continue without a device.

i've installed Cm11 on my sdcard as a secondary rom, with ARHD being primary, but i cant see cm11 in the multi boot menu nor in the multirom app, tho there is a folder on my sdcard called multirom-m8 with the rom's img files...any idea? i'm S-OFF btw
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Are you looking on the "External" tab of the boot menu?

The app doesn't support ROMs on external SD at this time.
[One (M8) Android Development] Razor2100:
Can the name of the sekundär Rom rename the Name ?

In the multirom apk ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You have to do it in recovery.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ather:
There is no External tab? i only see USB and internal tab
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Not on the latest version? Update through the app.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ather:
i am, there are no updates shown,

Recovery: 2014-10-01(02) - elemental x 1.06
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Not the recovery or kernel - check the MultiROM v28 box and download/reinstall it.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ather:
ah yes, that worked
[One (M8) Android Development] Razor2100:
What for secondary roms are the best ?

Aopk task 650 not work !

Miui ? Is miui in Germany ?

I submitted a tip about this thread to get it on the XDA News Portal. Glad they got it posted!! :)
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Come on man, you should know better then to ask for ROM comparison... ;)
[One (M8) Android Development] Nezorflame:
So it happened again, fixed with going to recovery and booting to system once again.

Have only last_kmsg, error.txt is not present in multirom folder.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Thank you for the log. Do you have reliable steps to reproduce the issue, or is it random?

There isn't much I'll be able to offer in the way of help, unfortunately - I'm really not so familiar with how this mod actually works. I'll have to defer to [MENTION=5565418]boringalex[/MENTION], [MENTION=2928662]task650[/MENTION], [MENTION=4684315]flar2[/MENTION] & [MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION] regarding such errors . . .

Task650 is on vacation for about 18 months...
[One (M8) Android Development] Nezorflame:
Welp, it's easy - I just press Hard Reboot in APM menu, that's all. 100% of the time it'll stuck with eternal booting into the internal ROM. Rebooting with vol+power keys into recovery and booting to system from there fixes this until next hard reboot from APM menu. Kinda frustrating.

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 AM ----------

Have another issue - when I try updating the recovery to 20141001-02 through the multirom app (official from the play store), it downloads it succesfully, but fails to update.

Error: "Failed to mount /cache!"

Flashed downloaded recovery .img through Flashify without problems, rebooted into it to check if it's OK, then rebooted to system and opened app again. It still says I'm not on the latest version of recovery. Kinda strange issue.
[One (M8) Android Development] throcker:
damn, this mod makes my phone so unstable and kills performance in guest rom, what the hell does this mod do?!

I had lags, slow downs, so I converted to gpe and revert back to sense to clean up dirt, everything was fine since I installed again this and.....well, screwed up!.....there are serious problems with this
[One (M8) Android Development] MotoTurbo:
Not sure if this has been mentioned but for anybody that has the no lte or wifi on aosp as secondary roms just flash an aosp kernel on top of the secondary rom..problem solved.. and make sure to not flash over top primary rom! made that mistake yesterday lol

ps: im on verizon

Flash veteran....
[One (M8) Android Development] gokun:
Well let's try to get something useful out of it...it does remind me of something I've been wondering about.

To undo all this multirom stuff, wouldn't you only need to reflash a stock twrp and restore your backup?

Then it'd be like all this never happened, right? Or am I crazy and it's more complicated than that?
[One (M8) Android Development] MotoTurbo:
Flash the multirom uninstaller zip in op

Sent from my One M8
[One (M8) Android Development] remicks:
Theres an uninstaller zip file you flash in recovery and then reflash kernel (may not be required but I had to when I tested it) and ur done.

Digitized from my M8 directly to your eyeballs.
[One (M8) Android Development] boringalex:
Thanks for the log. I'll take a look today. MultiROM seems to be stuck somewhere before you hard reset.
[One (M8) Android Development] Nezorflame:
Thanks, much appreciated. If you need any assistance or testing, please PM me, I'd be glad to help.
[One (M8) Android Development] throcker:
so, a report that, at least for me, this mod causes bad performance is useless?......

I know that there is a multirom-uninstall zip, but I'm not asking how to remove the mod, I'm trying to figure out if I am the only one with this problem, and also if this can help fixing something that causes slowdowns and lags sometimes....and this benefits all users

if you can't notice this say gtfo, you are the only one, but I tried to help...
[One (M8) Android Development] ckpv5:
Nobody said that you asked how to remove the mod :silly:

someone else did

And yes... your post is indeed a useless post :p

For a "Flash Veteran" like you ... you should know better how to post "problems"

The report should come with some info like what/which ROM .. which partition, a Sense one or GPE one ... at least with a proper log so people can help to identify the problems. Without proper info .. how do you expect your post can help fixing things ?

And for me ... seems the problem is yours alone as I run this mod with no problem whatsoever.

BTW ... I'm running own modded Sense ROM as host and MIUI and GPE as guests... no lags and no slowdowns
[One (M8) Android Development] Jonnibravo:
Hi all,

I am trying to flash the following rom as a guest rom; ][1.54.401.10][Sense 6][RLS4][Linaro] nV One M8 ¯`•._

It flashes successfully but when I try to boot, it just loads up the host rom, no sign of the NV rom. I'm guessing this is because my Viper rom is a different base (2.22.4015) to the NV rom (1.54.401.10). The reason I want to run this rom is because I believe one of my mods(HTC DOT VIEW MOD) may actually work on this base without any bugs.

Is there any way I can get the NV Rom to run as a guest or host alongside?
[One (M8) Android Development] throcker:
damn, I flash since 2004, when nokia 5800xm came out! aahahahah just joking.

I run elementalx with stock restored nandroid backup of sense, last fw. everything stock. lags are not allowed!....ok, I'm alone, that's it!...I will avoid this until I really need to have multiple roms....just tried to help
[One (M8) Android Development] boringalex:
Well, you're gonna have to test, as I don't have this issue.
[One (M8) Android Development] Jonnibravo:
Does anyone know if I flash a rom with a different base to the host does it use the host roms base or it's own?

If it uses the hosts base, is there a way to get it to use its own base.
[One (M8) Android Development] boringalex:
The host rom and the guest one do not have anything in common. They are totally independent, with the exception of the firmware (hboot, radio etc).
[One (M8) Android Development] ceyo14:
I just noticed that the settings for autoboot aren't working. I used 1 second and the button action instead of the timeout and it doesn't work. Still 5 seconds. Latest multirom and recovery. ElementalX 1.06 stock sense host
[One (M8) Android Development] Giblet-dono:
I tried to help you a while ago, and to be honest I have found nothing wrong... might be a very device specific problem..

Or maybe it's something you do, an app you use, or a tweak you do..

It is reasonable to say that some apps will scan your memory, find the Multirom folder, can't do anything with it and hangs, thus reducing performance (This is all speculation!!)

So maybe, just maybe, the problems comes from you..
[One (M8) Android Development] boringalex:
I just set autoboot to 1 second and it works fine. Please recheck your settings.

Try it out!
[One (M8) Android Development] ericyao:
My first rom is Venom. I installed MultiRom Manager from Play Store and did everything there. Then I went into recovery and flashed SkyDragon as the second rom. Everything went fine except after flashing, it wouldn't show me the selection screen when booting up. It's always the first rom. I double checked the screen time-out is set to 5 seconds. I have to manually choose the second rom to boot in the settings section of MultiRom recovery every time. Did I forget to do something?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
What kernel do you have flashed on Viper?
[One (M8) Android Development] ericyao:
3.4.0-ElementalX-m8-1.06-Sense
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Try reflashing the kernel and see if that makes a difference.
[One (M8) Android Development] ericyao:
I tried ElementalX gpe version, the rom selection is working now and the second rom is booting up fine, but now the first one, Viper is stuck at the boot animation :(
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Viper isn't GPE, so I'm extremely confused as to why you would choose that kernel when I suggested a re-flash?

On an unrelated note, I just found out that I won't be able to get a replacement device after all. Since my service is through my job, they'll only approve a Blackberry as a replacement, and apparently they won't process a warranty replacement unless the device turns on and the symptoms reproduced. I bought my M8 with money I'd been saving up, so, now I'm stuck with no M8, I guess until I can save up enough to buy another one.

I am attempting to get a replacement device through HTC Elevate, but I'm not sure how that'll turn out. In the meantime, I'll try and keep up to date with the community and help out where I can, as much as I can without a working device. Thank you all for your support and patience.

[MENTION=5565418]boringalex[/MENTION] - looks like this is up to you now. I can still build recovery as needed, of course :). I just can't test anything myself.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
How did you flash the GPE by just booting recovery? Did you flash it by going into recovery advanced > multirom > list roms > select the GPE rom and then use the flash .zip option?
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Is there any way to boot ROMs from MicroSD right now? I've successfully installed CM11 on SD, but I don't see any option to boot it.
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
I'm not sure if it's still working but the only way to boot into it through the multirom boot screen you can't use the app.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I just answered this yesterday.
[One (M8) Android Development] ericyao:
In the recovery, I flashed ElementalX-m8-1.06-Sense back to the main rom. The main rom, Viper boots up normally, but back to no rom selection screen. Flashed gpe version kernel to the second rom as you said, still no selection screen :confused:
[One (M8) Android Development] manup456:
Flash the multirom zip again and see if that helps, if you downloaded through the app it should be in your download folder. Have you tried swapping them around and flashing the kernel?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Try flashing MultiROM zip again?
[One (M8) Android Development] :
Oh lord, now it shows up ;[ I could swear it didn't work before last reboot. Thanks though :o
[One (M8) Android Development] ericyao:
Nope. Re-flashed MultiRom in recovery, rom selection just won't appear

[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
[MENTION=5565418]boringalex[/MENTION], [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION], can we make use of free space on /system and/or /cache? My system partition is more then half empty, so it could host another Sense ROM, or few CM/AOSP. Cache partition is barely used, so it can be used for one CM/AOSP ROM.

BTW, tried symlinking, but failed miserably. :o
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That's way too dangerous to even consider. The potential for data corruption increases exponentially when you start talking about adding partitions within partitions for a completely separate installation.

I wouldn't want anyone else to end up with a bricked device . . .

Sorry but do we need S-OFF only here to make multirom work? Mine always boot into Bootloader after select rom in multirom menu.

I am still S-ON.
[One (M8) Android Development] matmaneyre:
I am trying to install a non-rooted stock Sense ROM (mike1986's to be exact) as secondary ROM to my primary Rom which InsertCoin (also Sense). I have everything working just about, up to the point where the ROM installation fails at the 'boot.img'. It goes through creating all the partitions, then flashes the ROM and then fails and deletes everything. What am I doing wrong?

I am installing to a usb-otg stick, tried formatted as FAT32 and exFAT systems and failed both times. I did try formatting as NTFS but TWRP won't even let me mount it, let alone install to it

I have upgraded my firmware to the latest available, flashed TWRP multiROM and the multiROM zip, and flar2's kernel for Sense. Everything seems to be working besides flashing my secondary ROM. What am I missing? I have tried searching the thead but there are so many minor niggles it's like trying to fins a needle in a haystack. Can I even install Sense as a secondary ROM to my usb-otg with a Sense ROM already as primary? My head hurts. Props to everyone who has made this possible because I'm struggling with the "easy" bit

EDIT>> Just installed MultiRom Manager and it said my kernel wasn't patched (strange as I definitely went through all the aroma installer options and flashed it), so I've updated that, and I've also updated TWRP multiROM as there was apparently an update for that as well. I'll try again and see what happens. Hopefully not another wasted 40 or so minutes :)
[One (M8) Android Development] boringalex:
That ROM doesn't work, I haven't investigated to see why exactly (it doesn't work installing it as secondary).
[One (M8) Android Development] matmaneyre:
Ah, OK thanks. Maybe I'm not just losing my touch then. I'm usually pretty good at following instructions :/ Need to find another non-rooted ROM then. Thanks [MENTION=5565418]boringalex[/MENTION] :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] Lancerz:
No you don't need S-OFF, I'm S-ON and have no issues. What kernel are you using?
[One (M8) Android Development] ericyao:
They are both ElementalX kernel, one is sense version, the other is gpe
[One (M8) Android Development] paulnorinn:
I was using Vanir with LiquidSmooth kernel. Multirom menu showed up fine but when I chose Internal to boot in menu, it gone into Bootloader and stuck there.

I ended up boot into recovery and uninstall multirom then my rom worked again.
[One (M8) Android Development] matmaneyre:
Now I'm getting the same error trying to restore a stock backup from the stock backups thread :/ Creates partitions and fails at "unpacking boot.img" and throws me out. I wouldn't mind so much if it didn't take so long to get to that point :D but I'm installing to USB so I understand why it takes a while.

I just want something unrooted I can boot into on the fly to run certain apps where root can't be hidden (sky go, online banking etc). USB is ideal because I can carry it around without taking up any of my 16GB which is pretty full anyway. Any ideas clever people?
[One (M8) Android Development] remicks:
I really wish people read the multirom FAQ like the OP suggests. Let me try and knock out a few issues here with one quick swipe of the nerfbat.

NOT ALL ROMS ARE ABLE TO BE FLASHED AS A SECONDARY ROM. This is due to the updater-script and how partitions are mounted during install. This was addressed very early on in this thread multiple times and is stated in the FAQ. For the love of god, RTFM if you plan on doing modifications like this to your device.

That being said, I have a method of installing ANY ROM as secondary by making use of the swap ROM feature in recovery. This was also posted here previously in this thread. Simply move your primary ROM to a secondary slot, flash new ROM to primary, then swap the ROMs in recovery and reboot.

[MENTION=5565418]boringalex[/MENTION] maybe add this to the OP in hopes that people actually freakin read OPs still?

Edit: Please note that some ROMs are incompatible as secondary ROMs entirely. Nothing I can do to fix that, sorry.

1. boot back into recovery

2. Select advanced

3. Select multirom

4. Select list roms

5. Select the rom you want to flash gapps

6. Select flash zip

7. Select gapps from its stored location

8. Reboot into rom you flashed gapps to and bingo.
[One (M8) Android Development] matmaneyre:
It's not that I haven't read. Believe me, I've been reading for 2 days solid :) I've been around here long enough to know the best thing you can do before doing anything else is read, read and read a bit more.

It's just that I haven't managed to flash a single secondary ROM successfully yet, so I was just checking it wasn't something I was doing wrong. Guess I've just neen unlucky with the ROMs I'm choosing. There's no list of ROMs (that I know of) to say which are compatible or not. For one I don't expect to be spoon-fed like that, plus a list like that would be a nightmare to compile, based on the variety of ROMs out there and all the combinations you could have as primary/secondary. In that case it's just a case of trial and error.

But thanks for your tip on swapping. I'll give that a go and see what happens. Just 2 (potentially) daft questions...

1: I can' t see that I can choose a location for swapping my primary ROM to secondary (ideally I want it on my USB-otg, but failing that I will free up some space on my internal storage)

2: Incompatible ROMs (i..e. in the case of mike1986's unrooted stock which is confirmed as 'not working'), are they incompatible because they don't flash, or because they may flash but don't boot?

Thanks again for anyone throwing in their two cents to assist. Always appreciated :good:
[One (M8) Android Development] remicks:
I will compile a list of roms that I have successfully flashed as secondary roms as well as ones that I have found to not work as secondary at all and ones that work using the swap method. I have a Verizon M8 so I can't test every rom but I will try and get more people to contribute to the list as well. I'm at work now but will do this tonight after I get home.
[One (M8) Android Development] matmaneyre:
Fair play to you if you can manage it, it would be a very useful resource.

I've finally had some luck and managed to choose a ROM that will flash as secondary. Now my primary is InsertCoin and my secondary is PA on my USB-OTG, so at least I know things are working and it was just my choice of ROM that was failing me. I just need to find a ROM that works that is unrooted, or one I can fully unroot myself. BUT, TWRP MultiROM doesnt see the secondary ROM on the USB, so it's not swappable in that respect, unless I've missed something I don't want an unrooted ROM as my primary, and freeing up internal space isn't an option either.

Are ROMs on the External SD picked up for swapping? Or is that something you can only do on the internal? Because with a 16GB device and a couple of ROMs flashed on the internal, it doesn't leave much to play with. The only other 2 options I can see realistically are transferring files off my External to my USB-OTG and carrying it around as additional storage, or getting a bigger SD so I can keep my files there and have space for another ROM. Hence the question for swapping External to Internal and vice-versa, as I want to put an unrooted stock ROM as secondary which I will probably have to intially flash as primary as I haven't found one yet that will flash as secondary first off.
