Sure thing. Sorry to all for the super long post. I know this is stuff most of us already know. I just figured a full guide for new people would be best.

The only prerequisites required are adb & fastboot installed. I'm using Windows 8.1 computer.

Start from stock Kitkat rooted with Dual Locked Recovery

Use PRFcreator to make Lollipop pre-rooted firmware(I used C6833_14.5.A.0.242_Customzied Germany.ftf, I have c6833 be sure to get proper firmware for your device, BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip & ZU-lockeddualrecovery2.8.3-RELEASE.installer.zip. Check all the boxes on the right except Sign Zip.

Flash the flashable.zip in recovery

Download the MultiROM-v30x-180115-UNOFFICIAL-togari.zip and TWRP_multirom-togari_20150201-00.img from the second post of this thread and the boot.img from post #131. Thanks again to lifehacker69 for posting it.

Copy the MultiROM-v30x-180115-UNOFFICIAL-togari.zip to internal storage. Then boot into bootloader by powering off then hold vol up and plug micro usb into the phone. Once blue LED is lit you're in bootloader mode

Make a folder for the boot.img and TWRP_multirom-togari_20150201-00.img then open the folder and hold shift and right click to open command window here then type "fastboot flash recovery TWRP_multirom-togari_20150201-00.img" then hit enter key and "fastbooot flash boot boot.img" then hit enter key again. Once finished "fastboot reboot" then enter key.

Now boot into recovery(reboot, when LED flashes pink press vol up or down a couple of times)

Now flash MultiROM-v30x-180115-UNOFFICIAL-togari.zip in recovery then reboot to recovery and you should be in business

Hope this helps

Thank you for the detailed instructions. Can you please put in quotes exactly what I need to type in the command window, as I am unsure about this - see below:

Make a folder for the boot.img and TWRP_multirom-togari_20150201-00.img then open the folder and hold shift and right click to open command window here then type fastboot flash recovery TWRP_multirom-togari_20150201-00.img and fastbooot flash boot.img once finished fastboot reboot

I added the Quotation marks.Let me know if I missed something. Hopefully this works for you.

Thank you. Do I press return after each statement? I will try out tomorrow and report back :)

Do I click/press Enter after each statement? Thank you
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
Yes. I edited again. should be all inclusive. Let me know if you need anymore help.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pretty pixel:
Thank you. Sorry, but I am unclear about how I open the command prompt. In the folder containing the two files, I clicked and held down shift, whilst right-clicking. A menu displayed but no command prompt.

Edit: got it :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
Using a Windows computer, press and hold Shift button, while still pressing Shift right click "open command window here" should be half way down the pop-up that appears.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pretty pixel:
I just entered the first command and the following displayed in the window: 'fastboot is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file' :(

I don't know what to do now. Your advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
Do you have adb installed?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] PDesire:
Have you flashed the new bootloader from Sony which allows boot to recovery (like a Nexus Device) before flashing TWRP.img?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
Nope, just did what I wrote in the instructions.

Sent from my GEM-703L
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pretty pixel:
Hi - I just did what you wrote in the instructions. I have the PC drivers installed for my phone and have now installed Minimal ADB and Fastboot - should I use that to enter the commands? Also, I do not think I have flashed the new bootloader from Sony. Where do I get this from?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
Yes, use fastboot to enter commands. As far as the new bootloader, last time I checked it wasn't available for the Z Ultra. Even if it is available, now that I have MutiRom on stock Lollipop, I'm not going to play with anything new for a bit.

Sent from my GEM-703L
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pretty pixel:
Thank you for coming back again - so, all I need to do is enter the commands in fastboot mode, using Minimal ADB and Fastboot PC application? I have to go to work now, but will try this when I get home :) I really want stock Lollipop as my primary ROM in Multirom :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
No problem. If you're not planning on putting platform-tools in your computers path, you can copy TWRP_multirom-togari_20150201-00.img and boot.img to the folder that has the "fastboot.exe" in it. It should be named platform-tools, then do the "open command window here" from that folder and follow the commands from the post with the instructions. You can PM me if you run into trouble. I fear we've taken up a bit too much space in this thread. I'm usually available between 4pm and 6am central time.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pretty pixel:
I can confirm, I now have Multirom installed on stock Lollipop .242. Thank you for your support :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Homer J. Fong:
No problem. Glad you got it working.

Hello, you are not going to do an update on multirom 32?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Ritz_4488:
My Experience

Well I really appreciate the work by Gracia but I would like to underline the basic issues while trying the multirom are as follows: I use Xperia z ultra C6833

1. Installing custom kernel's might make you lose drm keys that are necessary for the sony features like bravia engines and music effects etc. so you will have to do a TA backup before installing a custom rom/kernel and blah blah blah.

2. Multirom App from playstore will not allow you to install patched kernell as you will be surprised to find it greyed out and the stock kernel is I believe an older version not supported and there is no way yet to get it patched with the hexec hardboot.

3. You will not be able to install TWRP recovery as it will give you error since the kernel does not allow it.

4. You will face issues like the phone will not be booting to recovery using the hardware keys or using adb method and instead of recovery phone will keep on getting restarted like it normally does.

I have tried fast boot adb commands and everything but none seems to help and I have browsed for the issues faced by many other users and there is no concrete steps to eliminate it.

I believe the simple solution to all the above problem is downgrading your current OS from lolipop to kitkat version (I haven't tried it yet). I have even tried multirom on my friends Xperia Z1 but these issues are the same as faced by him. So i will request the author to try it out on a locked and unrooted phone upgraded to lolipop version and mention all the steps which enabled him/her to install multirom without losing drm keys or else there is no point to keep your stock version and you can head on to directly install other stock roms if those features are no use to you.

Which file from MulriROM zip is bootmenu?

Im staying on AICP 7.0 (KK) with GreatDevs, but would love to use TWRP (AICP uses CWM). FOTAKernel recovery doesnt work (no boot, stuck on yellow led), so only way is to inject recovery to kernel. I dont know how to do it so im uaing multiroms zip with twrp, but it additionaly injects boot menu, which i would like to get rid of.

@up

You can restore DRM keys with unlocked bootloader.

I extracted SlimRoms Kernel from Resurrection Remix Rom. It works for most CM-based roms. For stock I guess you can use this one, haven't tried it though.

[MENTION=5111503]Nimadroid[/MENTION]

Here. I think you need to flash another recovery after this, since this one has Cyanogen Recovery. I usually use Rashr to flash the Modified recovery (based on TWRP)

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mike13ftw:
Hello I am new to Sony phones and multirom and I want some help . After a lot of search I finally installed multirom with Resurrection remix ROM as a primary ROM . Then I installed the gpe port it booted just fine and I decided to give a try to cm12.1 and blisspop ROM but non of them boot . They stuck at the booting animation . Is there any solution ? Thanks in advance
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mobile-freak:
Where i am going to get " Resurrection Remix LP kernel " or should i use " stock-kexec-boot.img " from second Post?

At the moment i am using Lollipop ROM Port
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ch3mn3y:
Stock one is for kitkat only. Ressurection probably wont work with your rom too as the base is different. But if u wont to try it, it should be inside Resurrections zip file as boot.img (im not sure about 5.1, but in 5.0 it should be).

Not sure how you're going about this, I'll just list the steps I've used.

1/ Flash standard firmware from Sammobile.com using phone's Download mode and Odin.

2/ After the reboot, put phone into Download mode again and flash TWRP Recovery, again with Odin.

3/ After reboot, put phone into Recovery mode, then Install UpdateSuperSU-vx.xx.zip (where x.xx is whatever version you have) from the extSD card.

4/ Reboot and check if SuperSU is in all apps screens, start it and let it update the binaries, then instal TWRP's apk from play store.

5/ Reboot.

Works a treat every time.

Andy breaks down the barrier between desktop and mobile computing, while keeping a user up to date with the latest Android OS feature upgrades. It also provides users with unlimited storage capacity, Windows and Mac compatibility, and the freedom to play the most popular mobile games on a desktop. With phone as a joystick, you will never have to sacrifice the multi-touch or gyro elements of gaming, and thanks to seamless connection between desktop and mobile, you can receive a SnapChat phone picture on the street and see it on your desktop at home or just download Whatsapp for pc.

[Android General] Cosmin.:
The "application"* is utter rubbish. I don't post often here, but I've seen this promoted by XDA on Facebook and I thought I'd give it a spin. It has an online installer that goes then on to install different things (a lot of them), puts the thing in the startup menu and generally screws over a lot of systems configurations - e.g. I had already installed Virtual Box and updated to the latest version but the installer wants to reinstall it (?!) because it requires Virtual Box 20.

Avoid at all costs if you're not a dev, I spent around 20 minutes cleaning up my system completely after installing this. Also, be prudent and install it in a virtual machine if you really want to test it.

*I didn't manage to start it, but it seems like a front end for using an Android VM inside Virtual Box. Sigh.

[Android General] Saul Goodman:
no Mac version available, yet the title of this post, the article itself, and the site say it has it. Lame. As far as I'm concerned, their Mac (and Linux) support is vaporware and I'd rather they stop teasing, so that posts like this won't get my hopes up for a new option on OS X.

Their comparison chart is inaccurate; Andy OS doesn't publicly support Mac OS X, and BlueStacks stopped caring about Mac a while ago.

Oh, and as a previous reply on this mentioned, as well as this site, it's just using VirtualBox and that image might even work on Mac VirtualBox.

I'd really like to see an image that works well on VMware, which I prefer greatly to VirtualBox. Or even better: a native option not using VirtualBox or QEMU or VMware, like that used by Chrome's currently very limited Android app support.

Not what they pretend to be

I tried Andy after BS and it seems to me as the better solution. It's more integrated into Windows. The first thing which annoyed me was the online installer with no choice on the installation path. Default is the System Drive and it comes with a huge load of services (eg Apple Bonjour, don#t know for what it's necessary). The reason for me trying this is, that I have a Windows 8.1 8" Tablet where I want to use my Android apps as well, as I have an Android phone.

But the first test failed and I didn't manage to get "Hearthstone" running on Andy, no matter what specs are set. Anybody got it running on Andy OS?

Sometimes Andy must be shut because of less RAM on my Lenovo miix 2 8.
