[One (M8) Android Development] Dave O:
Hey all I've been kinda following this thread for a while now and finally decided to take the plunge and try it, although I do have a question.

When I try to restore the nandroid backup it works well then when I boot I get a logcat (see attached). It then won't boot but if I flash cm from a zip its okay I was just hoping to use a backup of cm that I had previously so I wouldn't have to restore all apps and data.

Is it because the nandroid was made from TWRP that I previously had and it won't restore properly through TWRP for multirom?

TIA

[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That log doesn't tell me anything. And I don't fully understand what you're trying to do.

What are you trying to do with your nandroid?
[One (M8) Android Development] HC4Life:
I tried to add MaximusHD as secondary rom using a backup but it didn't work. It fails at the end. Maybe it doesn't work with Sense roms cause they are heavy.
[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
I used a twrp nandroid backup for one of my secondary roms. Didn't have any issues
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Might not have been a good backup. Did you try restoring it directly to the device and see if it failed?
[One (M8) Android Development] HC4Life:
Yep, the backup is good, it doesn't fail restoring directly to device.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
That's curious. Of course, without a log of the error, I have no chance of diagnosing the issue.
[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
No
[One (M8) Android Development] HC4Life:
I try to push a log...
[One (M8) Android Development] Dave O:
Sorry if that was confusing.. Haha

I'm trying to restore a nandroid of cm11 for my second ROM to boot.
[One (M8) Android Development] jtommyj:
Cm updated the M8 8974 kernel on 11/7 and the old one doesn't work. Any chance of getting a new one ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I'll see what I can do . . . next week.
[One (M8) Android Development] jtommyj:
Thanks Captain !!
[One (M8) Android Development] HC4Life:
Sorry, how to push a log on TWRP? I don't remember...:p
[One (M8) Android Development] ThatKawaiiGuy:
After the error occurs go to advanced>report error or something like that

Or save log, or click the log button or something

Urgent help needed

I went into recovery and wiped everything...now it is not booting..When I try to enter into bootloder nothing happens (Power+ vol down)....What to do...Is my device bricked>>>:crying:

Before rebooting my device recovery showed that no OS installed..Please help me it stucked on htc boot logo
[One (M8) Android Development] jtommyj:
Try to hold power and volume UP for about 20 seconds. Once it starts to reboot hold volume down. Hopefully you have a ROM or nandroid to install. See if you can get into recovery that way..
[One (M8) Android Development] boringalex:
You go to Advanced->Multirom->List roms->Your rom->Flash zip and select your gapps zip.

Testing on verizon now, flashing clean ROM as my 4.4.3 base
[One (M8) Android Development] remicks:
Which kernel are you running for the main kernel?

Digitized from my M8 directly to your eyeballs.
[One (M8) Android Development] jake.99x3:
Ok so I have installed MultiROM on my Verizon M8 and everything was going along smoothly until I went to flash a secondary ROM. I got an error about it failing to inject boot.img and now I am stuck on a dark boot screen. I'm going to RUU back to stock and reattempt.
[One (M8) Android Development] remicks:
Pretty sure we don't have any patched kernels yet, but I asked [MENTION=2967322]buckmarble[/MENTION] about it and he said he will add it to Lunar for us soon.

Digitized from my M8 directly to your eyeballs.
[One (M8) Android Development] jake.99x3:
I flashed the modified recovery, then stock 4.4.3 insecure kernel, followed by the multirom zip. After this I went to advanced multirom and selected task's aokp rom and started to flash. After this I get an error saying that the boot.img injection failed. I had disabled screen timeout but the Screen went black. I forced a restart and tried rebooting into recovery but I can no longer do that. Right now I'm RUU'ing back to stock and will restart the process

---------- Post added at 04:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

Yes the stock insecure kenel should work for us. The other kenels are for sprint, or gpe variants.

Edit

_______

You were right the stock insecure kernal does not work for verizon.
[One (M8) Android Development] Onem8:
So i did this :

Flash modified recovery image.

Flash boot image either from fastboot or recovery. ( Installed elementalX : latest 1.6 )

Flash multirom zip in recovery.

Press Advanced->Multirom and add your secondary roms.

Primair is arhd 11.1 with elementalX

Then i installed secundaire rom ( viperonem8 )

When it restart and i choose viper it reboot to arhd.

Even if i install google on secundaire rom it wont boot.

Can somebody help me ? thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] Ather:
if im S-OFF, would i still need to inject boot.img seperately? i dont wanna RUU back just in case something happens ;p
[One (M8) Android Development] Onem8:
Uhm i did that.. Here is it another problem. So you don 't have a answer on my problem ?
[One (M8) Android Development] daorderdillon:
its fastboot flash boot name.img
[One (M8) Android Development] Onem8:
Yeah I know from days of the one x :D
[One (M8) Android Development] daorderdillon:
I tested the multi boot and it's nice but I love stock and hate going from Rom to rom
[One (M8) Android Development] AnimusVoxx:
not sure whats going on but how would i run two aosp roms like cyanogenmod and aokp cause thats not working for me, also if i want to run a gpe rom and aokp rom would i make the gpe the base then flash one of the kexec images then flash the aokp rom?
[One (M8) Android Development] jake.99x3:
Did the same thing as you except I couldn't even reboot. I was getting the error about injecting boot.img
[One (M8) Android Development] Ather:
Thank you! :D
[One (M8) Android Development] AnimusVoxx:
actually nvm got it sorted but how do i install kernel for secondary rom, just flash the boot image? and how do you flash gapps for aosp roms?
[One (M8) Android Development] srinivas07:
Thanks a lot...this worked..but I'm unable to paste files in my internal memory and SD card...Files are turning out in windows icons..see the below images
[One (M8) Android Development] jtommyj:
Otherwise, how does the phone function? Can you move files from internal to external? Is that a backup or new ROM you are using or the old one ? I would start fresh with a new ROM or nandroid if you haven't.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I have to ask - what does this have to do with MultiROM?
[One (M8) Android Development] yung40oz84:
question about compatibility...

Sunshine S Off should work as long as I complete the task using my main rom correct?
[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
Does anyone know how to add custom images/logos next to the name of the roms in multirom manager?
[One (M8) Android Development] anthony92170:
Tap the icon next to each ROM it will open up to change picture
[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
Wow, I could've sworn I tried that, but I guess not because that was embarrassingly easy. Thanks
[One (M8) Android Development] jtommyj:
OK so for those who don't know my situation, let me recap.

I could not get multirom to work using any sense ROM using bucks or code craft kernel.

The only way I was finally able to get it to work right was to use CM 11 Nov 5 and use the kexec kernel as my primary ( 11-5 CM changed kernel source so nothing after that works). I'm on Verizon, would like to use a sense ROM but when I do it reboots to the boot loader screen. Any thoughts ?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
See if my kernel makes a difference.
[One (M8) Android Development] jtommyj:
Thanks Captain. Getting an invalid URL on the link.

Edit. Found it on the mik mik site after rooting around.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Fixed it.

I was planning on adding that kernel to the MultiROM app as well. Just haven't gotten around to that or rebuilding the CM kernel with the kexec-hardboot patch.
[One (M8) Android Development] PureLife90:
ive followed everything to the T and can't get this to work. i am getting android system force close on stock rom and i can't even figure out how to boot up my secondary rom ... yes, i have a second one installed. my primary rom is at&t stock rom with modified boot.img
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Modified boot.img from where?
[One (M8) Android Development] jtommyj:
OK Captain. I appreciate your help but even your kernel does the same. Here is my routine. I install ROM. Boot it up. Go into Twrp 2.8.1.0. Install your kernel. Install multirom and install multirom And Multirom recovery. Then I go into recovery and go to the add ROM, add it, try to choose it, and it reboots to the hboot screen. So thanks again. I'll use my CM method for now, at least I know it works. Thanks, Tom

I'm wondering if 4.4.4 on Verizon changed something. That's when I noticed this was when I updated from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. I updated and flushed and all.
[One (M8) Android Development] PureLife90:
"boot_m8_sense_insecure" as per OP

[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
App updated to v29

I (finally) updated the MultiROM version in the app to v29. [MENTION=5565418]boringalex[/MENTION] - can you update the thread title?

I also added my BeyondStockᵀᴹ kernel to the app for people that are on 4.4.4 Sense ROMs.

Attached is a current CM boot image with MultiROM support. It can be flashed via recovery as a zip, or extracted and the boot.img flashed via recovery directly (if using a custom theme with Flashify support).

[One (M8) Android Development] Ideas4ya:
Can I use the beyond stock kernel on 5.0?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Doubtful. It's a 4.4.4 kernel. There is no source for Lollipop yet. We just got the leak.
[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
Has anyone flashed the new skydragon lollipop rom with multirom yet?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I flashed my Sprint port of it, but I modified the zip to make sure it would work. You just have to change the line that flashes the boot.img in the updater script to use the by-name symlink rather than the block device.
[One (M8) Android Development] ArtificialMusik:
I can't seem to get it to boot, I set it up as primary ROM and it said the file was too big, so it did the resize thing, after that aroma kicked on, everything "said" it worked as ending with [0] but something is missing or it just doesn't work. Maybe ol' Cap can help me figure out this predicament?
[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
So, I've found the updater script, is there a way you can tell me what the line is that I should change, and what I should change it to? I have never done this before, but I can learn pretty quick. Or point me in the right direction. Thanks captain
[One (M8) Android Development] ArtificialMusik:
Even if you manage to set it up. You'll need to kexec boot patch the kernel inside the ROM. :( I don't think its possible without 5.0 source code for kernel yet.

Little help here, I've noticed that multirom manager now has an update for multirom itself to v29. Has anyone else seen this or updated multirom? I haven't seen anything about an update for the m8 multirom. Any care to shed some light?
[One (M8) Android Development] rodny23:
Flash skydragon as a primary ROM then perform the swap, I'm right know with Insertcoin as a primary and skydragon secondary. Working perfect. :D:D:D
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Not without a log. I saw that error once, and that's a scripting issue. Just make sure system is unmounted before flashing. The updater script should do this, but it's apparently missing. Everyone always wants to blame the recovery, lol.

---------- Post added at 08:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 AM ----------

You don't need a patched kernel to use it as a secondary ROM. I have it installed that way now.

its the fix for the updater-script that captain mentioned
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You can always just flash it normally, take a backup and then restore that backup as a secondary ROM is just flashing it isn't working for you.

Are you sure the ROM flashed successfully?
[One (M8) Android Development] TarekElsakka:
I installed SkyDragon's latest as a secondary ROM (ViperOne with ElementalX as primary) and for some reason I am stuck at the HTC splash screen in the beginning, it just doesn't want to boot into SkyDragon whereas it boots into ViperOne just fine. Any ideas? Do I have to modify the boot.img thing Captain mentioned?
[One (M8) Android Development] Ather:
Yup it flashes succesfully, says script suceeded with status 0...how do i take a backup? Just enter MR, backup and restore it again?
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You backup in recovery the same way you always have. Unless I don't understand your question? Have you never performed a backup in recovery?
[One (M8) Android Development] Ather:
No what I meant was that if the rom isn't booting, i still take a backup of it?
[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
Just flashed new sky dragon as a secondary, and it worked flawlessly. Loving the new lollipop!
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
I thought you said it wasn't booting as a secondary. If it's not booting at all, that's not an issue related to this thread.
[One (M8) Android Development] TarekElsakka:
Okay I just modified the updater-script to replace the block device with the by-name symlink. I hope it works!

---------- Post added at 05:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

I did it but it's still stuck at the HTC boot screen. This is truly annoying... thanks for your help, though, I'm guessing it has something to do with my partitions.

EDIT: I formatted my internal storage and installed SkyDragon (no MultiROM) and the installation said "some symlinks failed" or something like that so I'm guessing I ended up with a corrupt zip or such.
[One (M8) Android Development] Ather:
Tgat symlink error is because of twrp, you need to use Philz recovery, see the post of the ROM, im still trying to get it to work as secondary rom, it keeps rebooting at the white htc screen
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
Just reboot recovery and try flashing again. That's a scripting issue too, but it should be fine as long as system isn't mounted before you flash the zip.
[One (M8) Android Development] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Alright so I flashed everything listed, in the order listed and my main ROM which is 1.8.0 ViperROM with the Elite Lunar kernel boots into a black screen & my secondary ROM which is digitalhighs port of 5.0 boots into the HTC logo and stays there.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've actually never been able to get this fully working before, I tried previously upon release of this and was unable to get everything full working either. This time I can't even get one working lol

EDIT: holy s*** panic attack much?!?! I was powering phone off with vol up + power and all of a sudden Windows is telling me "DO YOU WANT TO FORMAT DRIVE A-Z?" in about 20 some boxes, scared the crap out of me. I thought for sure I'd just lost a bunch of stuff haha

EDIT #2: Tried Evolutionmods new updated kernels which have the kexec hard boot patch too and still no luck.
[One (M8) Android Development] Captain_Throwback:
You're flashing a new kernel on an old ROM. Use the proper kernel with your ROM and you should be fine.
[One (M8) Android Development] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
Well what would the proper kernel even be for my ROM...? I honestly didn't think it'd make a difference, just as long as it's made for the Verizon variant which all 3 of the ones I've tried are. & just to confirm it I re-flashed my old kernel and all is well, so it's definitely related to it. Just don't know what I should be flashing...a new ROM? a new kernel? No kernels are working with this one and the way you said that makes me think I'm pretty much screwed unless I flash a newer ROM as my main one and then reinstall this as a 2nd or 3rd...
[One (M8) Android Development] mattprice86:
It depends on what the ROM is based on. If it's based off 4.4.4, then you need a 4.4.4 kernel. The kernel's OP should be able to tell you which version of the kernel you need
[One (M8) Android Development] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
O, well now that makes sense lol. Well I most definitely know why it isn't working now haha. I thought the 4.4.3/4.4.4 stuff was all about FIRMWARE, I didn't realize it was about the ROM. No wonder...I've been flashing 4.4.4 kernels thinking that because I have 4.4.4 firmware it would work. No way it's gonna work with a 4.4.2 ROM and to be honest i dont think theres a 4.4.2 kernel anymore that will have kexec so i guess i'm replacing my main ROM and making my current one a secondary.

[MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] and [MENTION=5565418]boringalex[/MENTION] I got a question: what is the recommended format and partition scheme of the external SD card to use for installing the secondary ROM.

At the moment I'm using Fat32 and can't get ViperOne to show up in the external tab on boot, when installed on ext_SD as secondary ROM. Thus for the time being I'm still bound on using the internal storage for the secondary ROM. Already tried to partition ext_SD with an ext2 primary besides a Fat32 primary partition without any luck.
[One (M8) Android Development] TarekElsakka:
Well I did it again and you're right, it worked. I set the ROM up and everything without MultiROM installed and then I took a Nandroid Backup. I then wiped the internal storage, installed ViperOne and MultiROM and then restored Lollipop from the backup as my secondary but it still wouldn't boot - the HTC splash screen this time did not stay the same, but it kept boot looping. I guess I'm unlucky. :D

I add SkyDragon Lollipop rom as secondary rom directly in external sd card and flashed ok but it won't boot. It keeps on splash screen.
[One (M8) Android Development] AlbertoSONIC:
Guys i'm experiencing a weird issue. It hangs. Sometimes while booting a ROM, sometimes while changing Mutlirom menu color, sometimes while moving around multirom menu (not app). I'm using ARHD Sense 6 4.4.4 as primary and skydragon as secondary. If i want to boot the secondary rom, i have to force power off at least 4 times before it passes "Booting" popup. Sometimes it passes it, but then it stucks on a black screen. No splash, no bootanim, nothing. I tried to reinstall kernel, multirom and also TWRP, but nothing changed. Any clue?

P.S. Entering TWRP and exiting seems to fix this problem for few minutes.... But then it comes back again!

[One (M8) Android Development] anthony92170:
What I did is swap your ROM and have sky as primary set it up and swap back. You need to reflash ROM when its primary just wipe cache dalvik only
[One (M8) Android Development] HC4Life:
