Search Google for "kexec-hardboot." All of the answers are there. There are a BUNCH of kexec-hardboot patches on githubs. Isn't there a MultiROM port for M7? I'm sure there are patched kernels already. Why wouldn't you ask in that section, or look at those threads and kernel source?
[One (M8) Android Development] ziaulh.ch:
There are custom kernel. Not stock. Thanks.

I just wanted to report that I have been running the Bliss pop rom pretty much all day today. It's on an external sd card ext4 partition. The ROM actually it's quite fast and with things like scrolling and the things that usually bother me the most when a ROM lags it doesn't really lag at all - There are some occasional lags with opening menus or things like that but for the daily use of the ROM I can't really tell the difference with it being on a external partition.

thanks again for your help

I attempted to install a secondary ROM from a NANDROID backup and it failed every time. I have the latest version of multiROM and tried installing a backup from 2 different ROMs (stock and CM11) to both internal memory and to the SD card. I know my backups are good because I have used them successfully before I started using multiROM.

Any ideas how to make this work?
[One (M8) Android Development] comstar:
How is it failing?

Try going into multirom In recovery and clearing cache and dalvik for your secondary roms . Mine never boot for some reason until I do that.

You might list what your phone setup is also.
[One (M8) Android Development] dnkjordan:
Screenshot attached for last attempt to SD card. Failure mode is similar for both internal and SD install except internal fails almost immediately. Both backups I'm using were made with boot image so I'm not sure why I'm getting this error.

[One (M8) Android Development] dnkjordan:
Log attached. I took out all of the files listed for each backup because it made the log too big to post. If you need that data let me know and I can break it up across files.

Update: When I was getting the log I attempted to install my stock backup to internal and it worked this time. Then I shifted to my CM11 backup and tried installing to the SD card and got the same failure.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That log isn't from a MultiROM recovery. In fact, I don't know what that log is.
[One (M8) Android Development] dnkjordan:
I will try again. I was in multiROM recovery when I sent the log to SD card. This was the only recovery.log I saw on my card but will do a search.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Might have been the wrong SD card (internal vs external). The recovery console tells you exactly where the log saves.
[One (M8) Android Development] dnkjordan:
Try this one. It was in a different location but has the right date/time.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That's from the correct recovery, but it only includes the restore information, which indicates a missing boot.img.

I need a log with the backup info in it too, so I can confirm boot was actually selected and backed up successfully, prior to you trying to restore it as a secondary.
[One (M8) Android Development] dnkjordan:
Got it. I'll restore to primary then back up again so it will log as soon as I have a chance. Thanks again for the assist.
[One (M8) Android Development] yung40oz84:
I try to add BlissPop, CM12, or any Lollipop rom it seems I get the same error every single time. It says error executing updater binary in zip '/tmp/mr_update.zip' This happens every time. I have been away from multirom since v28 and I am not using v30 and the test multirom TWRP 20141202-01.img. I want to be able to add a lollipop rom as secondary and the only way I could so far is adding a secondary from backup, which I had a BlissPop backup, fortunately, but I want to reinstall and update as there are nightlies flying out. Thanks in advance!
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Update.

Seems like you should've at least tried updating before posting an issue . . .
[One (M8) Android Development] yung40oz84:
I am updated. what do you mean?

Oh I see what I said, I meant to say that I AM USING the the specified versions. lol
[One (M8) Android Development] jcrompton:
When you say you are updated - what do you mean?

What version of multirom? Which TWRP and whick Blisspop

There were several issues that have been solved recently.

I would update to the latest recovery and multirom and the install the latest BlissPop 12/12 Nightly -- works great
[One (M8) Android Development] yung40oz84:
I am on all of those. The latest multirom v30, twrp test version privided, and I also tried 2.8.2_2014-12-10 p2 twrp, and I just downloaded the latest nightly from 12/12. With all that still same error!
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I guess I missed your log, then . . .

I also don't know what TWRP version that is you mention. Where did you get it?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Relax?

Not your fault is isn't working?

Well, you still haven't updated to the latest recovery version (which fixes the issue to which you're referring), so until you do that, I have no further assistance to offer you.
[One (M8) Android Development] yung40oz84:
The link to 2.8.2 multirom in YOUR signature only takes me to 2.8.0 multirom install? Where is it located?
[One (M8) Android Development] donmarkoni:
Please take great care how your post may be interpreted, cause that one did not sounded very respectable. And yes, it is highly likely your fault, cause it is working for others, including Captain_Throwback and myself. Also, it's no excuse that you are new, you should read, learn and try again and again, before making conclusion that MultiROM is not working.

I'm mad I have tried a lot and this won't work for me. Really starting to bother me lol...more like a challenge but is firmware related to this since I have a at&t setup as far as firm and radio?
[One (M8) Android Development] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Okay can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? There could be a couple things but I'd rather someone just inform me than me waste my time trying all of them.

Every single time I flash the MultiROM TWRP recovery my internal storage claims it only has 900MB available space and my main ROM just completely disappears, /system and all the other partitions are accessible (first 2 times it wasn't) but I can't do anything. Can't inject any boot sectors or boot imgs via recovery, can't flash anything. I've tried both Captain throwbacks TWRP (nothing, nothing as in no multiROM menu appeared but everything else was correct, internal storage space, partitions, etc) and that Elite_Lunar kernel along with the boot_m8_sense_insecure.img kernel/boot and nothing seems to make this function. Also re-flashed this entire thing in order about 4 times now with no luck.

Potential issues I think may or may not cause it could be 1. I'm running 4.4.3 firmware on a 4.4.2 ROM (ViperROM 1.8.0), & 2. I'm using adb sideload to get the ZIP's onto the phone, which includes multirom zip and the ROM's I'm attempting to get on it. Will edit this if any other potential issue occurs to me but can someone tell me if they have any idea what it is I'm doing wrong? Or even a way to get this diagnosed and a solution made? Yes I know the last_kmsg, I'll include it but I'm not sure if it's any good considering as far as I know it erases & re-writes it every re-boot (into recovery/hboot). On the other hand it doesn't then wooo!

Lastly, I'm on the Verizon variant. Both kernels I used were claimed somewhere in here to work on all variants or fixed for Verizon variant (quite sure).

[One (M8) Android Development] beats4x:
Can we get a list going of firmware people are on? I'm starting to wonder if the issues that i and other users are facing may be firmware related. Please list firmware version and which (if any) issues you are facing.

To start us off, i'm running the latest T-Mobile firmware on ViperOnem8 2.4.0.

When i boot internal rom, there is no bootanimation for a good 5-10 seconds, it then loads up near the end and right into the lockscreen.

Sometimes Multirom freezes when hitting cancel, or directly after when trying to select a rom to boot

I've yet to be able to boot a secondary rom. Always goes straight to a black screen, have to use power + vol+ to reboot (posted kmsg as requested a few pages back)

Sometimes after that reboot, only get a black screen and must repeat the reboot button sequence

Probably not a bug, but TWRP looks strange as well, probably the same for everyone though, but thought i'd mention it just in case.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:15 PM ----------

Like I have already said to captain throwback when I click on the newest version of the recovery it takes me to an old one. Multirom manager wont even give me an option to install and I read plenty. I was only responding to a statement to me, nothing else. we can let it at that
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
What do you mean, unable to update? Is your ROM rooted? Screenshot? Log?
[One (M8) Android Development] yung40oz84:
Yes I am rooted S off super CID all that good stuff, when I open multirom manger it will not give me an option to install multirom recovery. I thought maybe it was becasue I already had a version in general, but not according to this screenshot

Not to interfere with this conversion, but I as well have never been able to update my recovery via the app for some reason.

But I just assumed it was just me for some reason

Is there a way to add kexec hardboot support ourselves easily?

Here's the scenario. I installed the 12-10 Official 1.2 BlissPop which the builder had re added the kexec support. All was good. Then one of the other Bliss team members did a Nightly .., lo and behold no kexec support.

I tried just flashing the boot.IMG file from the working one but that didn't work.

Any suggestions?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That should've worked. How'd you flash it? Fastboot? You sure you flashed the right file?
[One (M8) Android Development] jcrompton:

I'll recheck the file
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I'd also fastboot it to make sure. Though TWRP/Flashify usually does a fine job of flashing. No harm in double-checking.

Sometimes the ROMs don't show up initially. My workaround for this is to go to the misc tab and change the theme. Then after going back to the External tab, the ROMs will typically show up. Weird, I know.

I'll share your log with [MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION] and maybe he can figure out what's wrong. As far as CandyPop having no data, that seems to happen with some of the AOSP ROMs. You might have to flash it as a primary and use the swap method to retain data.

I initially had a problem with MultiRom and getting WiFi to work when using DH 12/5 Bug Fix.

I'm on recovery 2014-12-10, which I think is the latest version (please correct me if I'm wrong).

ExtSD ROMs

I had noticed this a time or two before but it always seemed to solve itself:

If I boot to recovery there are 3 ROMs noted on my extsd ext4 partition

However when I go to the MultiROM boot menu none of the External Secondary ROMs show up -- I get the message to plug in the USB device and that the list will automatically be updated --- but nothing ever shows up

I have rebooted overall and rebooted recovery several times. I reflashed v30 Multirom

Any other ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Addendum:

I went into the Wipe area of the TWRP and Tried to do a repair of my extfat partition on my ExtSD (I have an ext4 partition as well) ... unless I just didn't wait long enough it would not complete the task.

A repair of the ext4 partition worked instantly.
