[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ray field:
So here's my problem: I really want to install Multirom, but I can't unless it's rooted. As far as I can tell, the easiest way to root the device is flashing Chainfire's rom, but apparently doing so kills wifi. I guess I could proceed to install Multirom at that point and then install a different rooted rom but that's a little complicated, especially since I'm afraid of bricking in my ignorance.

Is there a simpler way for me to proceed? Or am I missing something.

Please note I am on Ubuntu only so cannot use Wug's windows thing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ray field:
Okay, so I used a buddy's Windows machine to root the N7 with Wugfresh's toolkit. Got home and used the Multirom Manager app to install, and watched it reboot and then add the kexec patch. I rebooted, and now have lost wifi, so I don't know what to do next. Did I miss a step somewhere? Should I copy a third-party rom and flash that?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] ray field:
So, let me try again: is this a known issue? It's the second time I've lost wifi after installing Multirom using the app. after rooting -- first with Chainfire's rom and then using Wugfresh's toolkit. I'm pretty sure I followed directions to the letter. Is there a fix I can try?

Hello All,

I am currently running multirom v30 on my 2013 Nexus 7.

The Latest Multirom v30 Seems Unstable

Hi all, I 'm a Multirom user. since I found I can`t boot into AICP rom after it`s ota update, I backed up and erased everything. Then I downloaded google`s factory image and runned flash-all.bat file smoothly. After that, I did: boot system (seccess) and reboot into bootloader --> flash twrp_multirom_20150115.img --> install kernel_*_501.zip&&multirom_v30.zip --> add previous rom backups --> reboot system ,till now,everything seems OK . I can boot into any of the secondary roms.

Ａ．But Problems happened after I renamed the secondary roms in the recovery, like "bckp--DATE--AICP“ ->"AICP", "bckp--DATE--CM_Games" -> "CM_Games". It tends to boot into the PRIMARY ROM when I tap the First SECONDARY ROM ;when I tap other secondary roms , it stuck at Google Logo. If I give the Secondary ROMs long-names back , it can boot into the 1st secondary rom , stuck at Google Logo if I tap other Secondary rom I backed up before.

Ｂ．Besides, after I installed firefox_OS_1.3.zip,CM_20150125.zip,AICP_20150125.zip individually as secondary rom ,I failed booting into them. １.Firefox_OS:stuck at Google Logo,２.CM&&AICP:stopped at boot animation.(I am bored to and don`t try the "swap" option or rename)

Anyone who knows any temp solution(s) about those bugs?Should I upload the log file?

It seems that the short-name bug exits for a long time. Anyway , thanks for your multirom [MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION] !

running X applications in Xmir in Ubuntu Touch

Finally I figured out a way to run X applications in Ubuntu Touch using clues from here:

www dot youtube dot com/watch?v=XfMLzlki9XE

www dot phoronix dot com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Ubuntu-Unity-8-Pre-MWC-Demo

1. Install Ubuntu Touch Vivid Proposed via MultiROM

2. Increase the disk image size for Ubuntu

3. boot Ubuntu

4. enable developer mode

5. connect via adb

6. mount image writable

mount / -o rw,remount
touch /userdata/.writable_image # to keep rw after reboots

7. install Xmir

wget 'https://launchpad.net/~mlankhorst/+archive/ubuntu/ppa//+files/xserver-xorg-xmir_1.17.1-0ubuntu1%7Eppa1%2Bsa7_armhf.deb'
wget 'https://launchpad.net/~mlankhorst/+archive/ubuntu/ppa//+files/xserver-xorg-core_1.17.1-0ubuntu1~ppa1+sa7_armhf.deb'
wget 'https://launchpad.net/~mlankhorst/+archive/ubuntu/ppa//+files/xserver-common_1.17.1-0ubuntu1%7Eppa1%2Bsa7_all.deb'
dpkg --install *.deb

8. place a script like this in your home

#!/bin/bash
DISPLAY=:1
Xmir $DISPLAY
sleep 1
xeyes

9. make it executable

phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ chmod +x test.sh

10. place a file like this in ~/.local/share/applications/test.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Test
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon=/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/qml/Ubuntu/Components/Themes/Ambiance/artwork/spinner@30.png
X-Ubuntu-Touch=true
Exec=/home/phablet/test.sh

11. pull down on the "Apps" home screen in Ubuntu Touch, now you should see the Test icon appear

12. launch Test and see xeyes appear

It seems to work with all applications I tried so far (xeyes, xterm, icewm, libreoffice-writer). A keyboard plugged in via USB OTG works ok, touch works, external mouse kinda works. The mouse cursor doesnt show, so that makes for awkward usage, also xeyes only seems to register the position upon click, not upon moving around.

TWRP modified recover boot looping - unable to go into recovery

Hello,

I have been using the modified TWRP recovery for MultiROM for the last several weeks without any issues and flashing multiple secondary ROMs. I did a few things today after which I am unable to go into recovery. I keep seeing the teamwin logo in boot loop. I am able to boot normally into the primary or secondary ROMs using MultiBoot. I also flashed the latest modified TWRP recovery using fast boot without any help.

I have COS12 as my primary and today I performed a factory reset on it from Settings->Backup & Reset. I thought this may have flipped the switch to enabling the recovery protect, but I went in again to verify that as not the case. I had also deleted a CM12.1 nightly ROM from my multiRom list and installed a fresh nightly (didn't boot into it yet).

I am not sure what has happened and aside from re-flashing the modified recovery I can't think of anything else. Searching on google, OPO and xda shows more things about OS boot loop and nothing on recovery boot loop.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Can't flash the uninstaller!

Why does the uninstaller (the one linked to in the OP) returns writing errors in TWRP? It reads "zip file is corrupted" (!)

I've been trying to flash this uninstaller several times, including after cleaning Dalvik/cache AND through Flashify, and still getting the same error message.

Could you devs please at least warn people about the problems related to uninstalling this software in the info page, os it would save them all the unecessary trouble of having to flash the factory rom? You're only saying that it may brick the device, not take over the boot process and be hard as hell to remove...

I also apparently can't encrypt the device's sdcard because Multirom is in the way.

After flashing CM 13 as primary Rom I have installed the open gapps. So far, everything was fine. But then I could not boot the secondary Rom. So I have flashed a kexec-hardboot-kernel (CM 12.1). My secondary stock 5.1.1 botted then, but my primary CM 13 didn't.

Do you have any idea, which kernel I could take to make both Roms bootable?

using multirom manager

hello, having difficulty. i downloaded multirom manager from play store, opened it, allowed root permission, checked all three options (multirom, modified twrp, and kernel w/ kexekc-hardboot patch) and pressed install. this part worked. said needed to reboot to recovery to finish install. pressed okay. this part worked too. However, now any time I try to boot, it goes to the screen to auto-boot and it opens the internal one automatically, but it sends me straight back to recovery. I think the problem might be that before I used the multirom manager, I was already using the CyanogenMod 13.0 nightly build. maybe I needed android as primary rom. Should I push stock rom image to sdcard and flash that as primary ROM??? And then if I do that, will I have to root my android again and start from scratch?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dlkile:
I never use the MultiROM Manager, so I am not sure if the problem is with CyanogenMod or not. Never use CyanogenMod, I just stay with stock virgin Android. I only use the Modified TWRP to be able to root the stock Android. I would say that it you flash stock ROM back you would have to re-root afterwards.

to flash a primary rom using modified recovery, do i follow these instructions:

Adding ROMs

1. Android

Go to recovery, select Advanced -> MultiROM -> Add ROM. Select the ROM's zip file and confirm. As for the space, clean installation of stock 4.2 after first boot (with dalvik cache generated and connected to google account) takes 676mb of space.

or these instructions:

Updating/changing ROMs

1. Primary ROM (Internal)

Flash ROM's ZIP file as usual, do factory reset if needed (it won't erase secondary ROMs)

Go to Advanced -> MultiROM in recovery and do Inject curr. boot sector.

---------- Post added at 11:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 PM ----------

also, in Primary ROMs (Internal) directions, where it says flash ROM as usual, does it mean as I would without multirom? or does it mean to flash it using the first instructions to add android ROMs, and then do inject curr. boot sector?

2. flash hacked multirom-20151113-v32-UNOFFICIAL-flo.zip in recovery (this multirom-version is compatible with android 6)

Can't boot into "internal"

Guys, my N7 was apparently one of those that required the special version of TWRP from Multi Rom to help recover from a boot loop after the OTA update. I got around that and had my system running the latest Pure Nexus Rom 6.01 and then

1)installed the Multi Rom App, got the kexec error,

2)flashed Elementalx 5.08. , no error, and

3) installed Multi Rom from the app,

4)it went to recovery to complete, eventually rebooted again and then I got the Multi rom overlay which lets me select "internal" but it boot loops back to recovery, I added/install a second ROM, and it does the same if I select it. I've tried

1) re flashing Multi Rom in recovery and

2) using the inject boot.img button.

This was my first time using Multi Rom, and I'm wondering if I should have flashed ElementalX last or even from within the adv>>add rom>> to install my kernel.... I've also read that there may be some issue with encryption and or the latest version of the Multi Rom or the 5.08 release. I want to try ElementalX 5.07, but I don't know how to download earlier versions. Anyone have ideas on my problem and or know how to get earlier versions of ElementalX and or Multirom? Thank you very much.

I've seen the same thing on my Nexus 7 (MM 6.0.1 - MMB290).

After I'd installed Multi-Rom from Play I tried the following steps:

- ADB push multirom-20151113-v32-UNOFFICIAL and ElementalX 5.08 a second time

- install both from the multi-rom recovery.

- Wipe cache & Darvik

- Selected the inject current boot sector option.

After that it booted and I could select and load internal - no problem.

Still trying to get a copy of Internal to load as a secondary though .... in TWRP/Advanced/Mutirom/Swap ROMS - copy primary ROM to secondary. Secondary appears to be created OK - but loops on boot.

OK - that's working now. I enabled Su during boot in the SuperSu settings of the Internal ROM - and now the secondary loads too.

Next step - try to get a different secondary ROM running.

multirom device encryption

encrypted device...

i've installed multirom.. and i did a device encryption using the internal rom, cm13, with a 4x4 pattern...

when the encryption finished and the device rebooted it got stuck in boot loop... i rebooted and it got stuck again in bootloop without asking me for the decryption pattern at boot... next i booted into multirom recovery.. and it asked me for the unlock pattern... i put the correct pattern (i'm 100% sure it is the correct pattern) and it says "wrong pattern.. please try again".. furthermore i gone snooping around inda file manager and also terminal... not doing anything concrete... so i decided to reflash system with a backup that i've done b4... flashed a backup of a aicp rom... wich is cm13 based.. and when i rebooted it appears now onscreen at boot "encrypted device... please enter your password" and it shows the pattern dots though 3x3 instead of 4x4...

/data was formated as f2fs b4 encryption

how can i make multiboot recognize the correct pattern

how can i change the boot screen to show a 4x4 pattern instead of 3x3

so..

i have recovery working (except the multiboot button)

i have adb & fastboot access

can i get some advise from any expert on the subject???

Make sure you are using an original cable, not a replacement as some cables do not work as they do not have all the pins wired.

So my buddy got the HTC One M8 running Windows Phone as an upgrade. He wanted the Android version, but when it came time to buy they had none left in stock so he got this one instead.
