My issue is identical same ROMs, because MultiROM is not designed for z3 we will not receive aid from developer; Simply put I attempted a multitude of methods and it never worked if i did not receive the error logs you have irregardless of ROM selected it would only ever boot to main (INTERNAL) ROM.

i had to refresh kernel (M5 for LolliPop or AndroPlus for Kit-Kat) delete MultiROM folder(s) and reflash recovery to rid myself of this attractive yet painful entry.

Great idea in early stages!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
Try to flash M5 Kernel to the Secondary Rom (in manage Roms first click remove boot.img and click Flash Zip, and tick inject Boot.img. It should be able to boot then.

Thats wrong. [MENTION=3418703]Tasssadar[/MENTION] is a very nice dev who is always there if help is needed. Without him and a lot of other nice devs (especially [MENTION=618483]Thunder07[/MENTION], [MENTION=2174433]Skin1980[/MENTION] and OFC [MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION]) I would not have been able to Port MultiROM at all.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] know.i.dee:
Then why does it clearly state in MultiROM app / apk (downloaded via Googleplay) that:

THIS DEVICE IS NOT SUPPORTED.

It moves on for 2 paragraphs outlining that email the developer will lead nowhere as the MultiROM app is for Nexus!

Just seen in main post that the creator owns Z2 not Z3; has anyone with a Z3 (specifically D6603) managed to get this to work?

If so; what method was used?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
He still provides awesome support for devrlopers on the IRC channel. Oh and meanwhile I do own a Z3 (D6603), and it works fine. Just try what I told you to do. The Message in the app is there to show, that MultiROM for that device is not OFFICIALLY supported, which means it's not maintained by Tasssadar himself, but instead by someone else (me). The ability to read is a gift, use it. Oh, and the Screenshot you provided is not even from the Z3. Fix your facts.

In case you don't believe me:

[MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] I've got problem with Mutirom on Stock pre-rooted LP. After installing willn't boot, just black screen and reboot. It's just by me or is there any limitation of use just on KK?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Aronuser:
Stop bullieng the dev's.

If you can't get it to work then learn flashing or ask others for help and follow their instructions properly.

I had not a single bug or issue with this MultiRom for Z3.

Also you would recognize that this here is legit and working, if you had read the thread.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Alex3oe:
First of all I have to appreciate all the great work ﻿Myself5 does around the Z3. Thank you very much.

Felt quite unhappy with the software side of the Z3, stock is full of bloatware, Lollipop feels much smoother than Kitkat, but I hate to abandon Xprivacy. During flashing around quite a bit, I seem to have something messed up with the FOTA partition. I did all as described (at least I think) and tried much more, but could not get any second ROM to boot correctly. Always stuck with following errors, same as someone mentioned before:

﻿multirom: DTB: --boardname was not specified.

multirom: Cannot load /zImage

But I found out, if I trigger “Remove boot.img” in the Multirom manage tab, the ROMs all do start. After adding back any boot.img they dont. Some trying later I figured out, that it only works, if the second ROM does support the kernel of the first one.

Im not deep into Android and do not know if I really understand this FOTA thing, but could it be, that somehow in my case the boot of the second ROM only works, if it has no “own” Kernel and so has to use the Kernel thats placed in the FOTA partition?

And is there a way perhaps, to get Multirom working as intended? Cause at the moment its not possible to install a Lollipop and a Kitkat ROM for me. Once I erased boot, recovery and system via flashboot, then I flashed M5 Kernel into boot, Multirom TWRP into recovery, installed Bliss and flashed M5 Kernel again. Maybe this caused my problems.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Indicious Flow:
Tried removing boot, flashing boot yet not solving this issue D:
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Aronuser:
Make sure you set it up properly.

I was using kk AndroPlusKernel in the past on primary, and other asop roms (5.0.2) as secondary. At times around 3 as secondary, they all booted and I could switch.

You might using m5 kernel as primary, I think that might be the issue, I don't know if that is supported (I might be wrong).

If you set up like I did in the past, it'll definitely work. There is not much you could do wrong. Tick inject boot.IMG (or what's it called) if you set up a secondary rom, always.

(afaik, Stock lollipop and 5.1.0 aosp I think aren't supported yet.) (but you could try 5.1.0 as secondary, it might work idk. Probably the only thing that would happen is that it won't boot and you can get back to primary. If it doesn't work)(correct me if AndroPlusKernel lp got multirom support right now)

I hope that helps
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Indicious Flow:
However, I'm trying to dual boot between stock kitkat and CM12./CM12.1 and it doesn't work no matter what i do, setting Kitkat as primary on Andro, CM12 on M5 and doesn't boot. and where's the option to tick inject boot.img? I don't see it.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Aronuser:
are you maybe using v5 kernel on cm12? on cm12 only v4 works.

inject boot.img appears when you set up a new rom as secondary afaik. (been a while since i used multirom)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Indicious Flow:
Nope. Do not see it, and I'm using V4 so it shouldn't have any issues, If i put it on internal, theres no issues.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Indicious Flow:
Ok question to ask.

1) Does multibooting actually work at the moment? Taking Stock KK as main ROM, CM12.1 as Secondary?

2) If possible, what are the steps from having an unlocked stock rom?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Aronuser:
I'm gonna look into it again once I'm using it again.

I can't properly try to help more without watching into multirom itself. :\
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] mick353:
How'd you go Aronuser.. ?!
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Aronuser:
What does your reply mean? (English is not my first language)

If you were asking if I had used multirom again, so far i didn't.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Grojon:
First of all, thanks for the dev !

But I can't make it work =/. I'm on CM12.1 official nighlty builds (also tried with Glade and Bliss pop) with your kernel.

V5 enforcing : Multirom is booting but stuck on CM logo. Secondary roms dont boot at all.

V5 permissive : Multirom is working, but Wifi known issue plus softboots when screen off.

V5.1 enforcing : Kernel is working but multirom doesn't (Bootloops with blank screen).

V5.1 permissive : Working fine with xposed (no wifi/boots issues), but blank screen and bootloops with multirom.

Think I tried everything (with multirom manager but also manually with fastboot and recovery), don't get it. The only compatible kernel for me is v5 permissive (but kernel issues make it unusable).
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Aronuser:
Actually I'm not sure if the current version of multirom and v5.1 kernel is supported for 5.1 multiple roms.

But I'm having the same issues.

I set up multirom yesterday again.

M5 v5.1 kernel on primary ROM bliss 5.1 lp (first release) (which booted well before)

Got me bootloop to splash screen.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
It appears like I fixed MultiROM (at least on the Z3 Compact) yesterday (both, graphics and booting secondary Roms with a different boot.img). Going to do some more tests with it today and then publish it for Z3C followed by pushing an updated Version for Z2 and Z3. Sorry for letting you guys wait that long.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
New Version is online!

Compiling and uploading the new Version ATM. Secondary ROMs are fixed now again and everything is working as it is supposed to do.

Note that LP Stock ROMs still don't work as secondary Roms though due to the mentioned seperated RAMDisk ;)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
New Version is online! (again)

I just uploaded a new Version. I figured out that I used the wrong flags so booting Secondary Roms which don't boot with the primary kernel were not working. However, they do now (I booted 5.0 on a 5.1 Host System just to get sure).

Again, terribly sorry, but new version is up now :D

[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] met97:
Hi guys, can i use multirom with locked booloader? Thanks :)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
No you can't. Reason for this is that the host kernel needs to have kexec-hardboot in order to boot secondary Roms and you can't flash a different kernel on locked bootloader.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] met97:
Ok, that's unlucky :(

I've read that unlocking the bootloader I'll lose drm key, causing camera not working good. Is it right?

Installing Roms on SD Card and External Memory

Hey guys, I was finally able to figure out a fix for the Roms not being able to boot from SDCard/external USB drives. I'm currently compiling a new build and it will be uploaded as soon as it's done, MultiRom Manager will get updated automatically too.

Progress on compiling can be seen here:

http://myself5.de:12345/job/XperiaMultiROM/36/console

Please be aware that booting Roms from SDCard/USB Media might take a bit longer than Roms installed on the internal Storage due to slower read/write speeds.

Hey folks,

It's been a while, but we (better said [MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION]) managed to fix v32 for the Xperia Devices.

Due to my PC refusing to build the recovery (crashes with strange errors) I am not able to update TWRP yet, however the old version works flawless with v32x.

These kernels are must for both roms, primary and secondry or secondry works without these kernels?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
Secondary can be whatever kernel you want. Only the primary Kernel needs to support kexec hardboot, as the primary kernel is what loads and boots the secondary kernel.

Try install rom without multirom, install M5 or Androplus kernel, then install multirom, restore your current rom as secondary and swap them. I haven't tried this, but it might help.

Or replace boot.img in zip file, but I'm not sure, if it will be correctly flashed.

Ive allready installed the basicaly rom with normal twrp, also tryed over philz, i used different roms, and different kernels (working with multirom).

All is fine, but after installation of multirom my rom is away, only multirum and multirom twrp are there and im not able to install anby other rom....
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] micro_23:
I don't get it. If you want working multirom, you have to have M5 or Androplus kernel on primary rom. Then you download multirom app from store and it installs Multirom recovery. Then you reboot in recovery and flash multirom. To add rom you click advanced -> add rom. If you didn't do this and install another rom normally, multirom should dissappear.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Thatoo:
Would MultiROM work on Xperia Z3 dual also?
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
Yes it will, but you might have trouble finding a kexec-hardboot compatible kernel, since I'm not sure if z3 kernels work on z3 dsds. (You can try and report back though)
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Thatoo:
I don't really understand what kexec-hardboot compatible kernel, so I take mostly this sentence as a no for now :)

I'll check again later.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
check if one of the kernels in the second post work on your phone, theorhetically they should.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Thatoo:
When I check the pages of CM, Z3 (https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Z3_Info) and Z3 dual (https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Z3dual_Info) share the same kernel (https://github.com/cyanogenmod/android_kernel_sony_msm8974) , and here it says that it works, http://xdaforums.com/z3/orig-development/kernel-m5-kernel-t3045319/post63896637#post63896637 . That's great. Now I know I can have CM 12.1 and MultiROm installed on an Xperia Z3 dual.
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Thatoo:
I'm going to receive my Z3 dual the day after tomorrow. When I receive it, I'll unlock the bootloader, because I'd like to install CM12 on the side of Android.

Then, what should I do to install MultiROM? and then to install CM12?

To install CM 12, instruction are here, https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_z3dual , so I should download a package (is it a zip?) but then, I should not follow what they say right (boot.img. etc...), and Go to recovery, select Advanced -> MultiROM -> Add ROM. Select the ROM's zip file and confirm. This I understand.

The steps I don't get are about installing MultiROM.

So it will be unlocked (bootloader) and will have the original android installed (I guess it will be Lollipop). Then what are the step to follow? On my Nexus5, I just had to install the app from the play store, but on the z3 dual, what are the steps? I guessed but I'm not sure that I have to download it first. Is it here, dl.myself5.de? Then what shoudl I do.

This is a little bit unclear to me :

Make sure you are on a Rom compatible with one of these kernels and flash it ---> How do I know that? and flash it, flash what? how?

Reboot into MultiROM TWRP and flash the MultiROM installer ----> reboot into MultiROM, OK! and flash the MultiROM installer : what do you mean?

That's it. You can now go to "Advanced -> MultiROM" to start flashing other ROMs. ----> Great!

---------- Post added at 12:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:54 AM ----------

Is it possible to keep the original android, and install CM on the side?

The original android is what is called stock or not? I'm a little bit confused...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Thatoo:
Thank you [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION], unfortunately, AndroPlus Kernel doesn't support Z3 Dual D6633... so I can't keep stock to install multiROM, right? but then I don't need MultiROM.

And you say "You then flash said kernel." that's the part I don't understand. I should go in recovery? but TWRP will not yet be installed... or I don't remember well how to get TWRP...
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Myself5:
The kernels have a tutorial on how to flash them in their threads, for recovery just use the search ;) However, I don't see why AndroPlus kernel is not supporting the Z3 DSDS, If I were you I'd try it (don't worry, worst that can happen is no mobile connection, which can be fixed by flashing the stock ROM again).
[Xperia Z3 Original Android Development] Szambodi:
This looks like a fantastic MOD, could this ever be developed for LB?
