About the recent unofficial recovery and multirom zip...why were they needed? What issues were addressed/fixed?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Kris Nelson:
There are several roms that are missing support for secondary placement on MultiROM.. This mod fixes that and any ROM can now be added as secondary.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] g4nj4b4by:
did u find a solution...having the same problem
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] blueyes:
Just decrypt your phones if that's the problem. I forgot to decrypt my daughters and she's got a secure lockscreen, well it caused issues in twrp.... Used twrp to backup her SD to a USB then used twrp to format data. Just food for thought.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Vortex1969:
Same thing I did and after flashing back to office I now have what ROM boot. And only run two builds my personal build and one other. I just flashed an update of my build and it works fine now. Still encrypted....
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] skynet11:
There's no file at the link? :(
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
No I was unable to find any solution. The modified Multirom and recovery when used do not show a boot menu and boot right into the internal rom every time.

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:35 AM ----------

No the link is fine. It has the Multirom zip as well as the Multirom TWRP
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
Started all over again with flashing the stock Google image MRA58R including userdata which erases the data also and then installed Unofficial Multirom-Twrp and the Unoffficial Multirom v32 and still can't see the Multirom Boot Menu when booting. Running out of ideas.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Confirm: no boot menu here. Ended with using Tassadar version.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
I had the no boot menu issue ... and although I had never had to do it before --- finding the inject current boot sector and choosing it gave me back my boot menu
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
Did not work for me
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Try flashing then a second time. Maybe try switching the order

Point is that I had the same issue at first
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
I don't understand a thing: why MultiROM manager offers just kernels for Lollipop and CM?! Which one should be used on a Nexus 6 running Android 6 MM?! I'm trying to run MultiROM since I get my Nexus 6 but the things are not going well. Today after flashing a deodexed stock ROM, the phone didn't boot primary ROM (!?).
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
The kernels in OP are out of date. Use a custom kernel that has Multirom support. You can find enough kernels here on xda.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Thanks but I can't find such a kennel. Searched with Google but the results are irrelevant.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] amritanshu001:
There are sooo many kernels which support multirom....despair, elementalx, benzocore, elite. When checking a kernel for multirom compatibility, check if it has kexec hardboot. If it is there, u can use that kernel for multirom
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
How did you do these?! I'm struggling since over 3 weeks to run multiple ROMs but the only that worked was Cataclysm.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Just follow the normal guides. Nothing has changed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
Wow! You were right. After flashing the Multirom v32 Unofficial a couple of times and Injecting Boot sector a couple of times I eventually got it working.

Thanks for the tip.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Ah, good news. Glad it works for you too now.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
Yeah! Thank God, finally enjoying the new Multirom experience.

Thanks for the modified version
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Glad it worked -- not sure why but I experienced the same thing
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Do you mean I have to use those 2 files - modded Multirom and TWRP, posted here?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
yes
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] sgloki77:
glad [MENTION=803530]Droidphilev[/MENTION] is the new maintainer in this thread, much needed change [emoji4]

the only thing I noticed with the unofficial zips is that it takes like 5+ mins to flash a secondary, is this normal?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Uh?? I'm not a maintainer here! I just posted a fix that was build by a friend, nothing more.

Flashing speed is normal on mine. Booting to a secondary rom (using the bootmanager) is slow on my device while switching with the multirom app works at normal speed. Dunno the reason for this.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] dabug123:
Nexus 6p needs some multilove
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Indeed! As a conclusion: MultiROM for Nexus 6 it's a big disappointment! Many ROMs can't be flashed. Yesterday I switched to Lollipop 5.1.1 to test capabilities of MultiROM. Same thing as I was on MM! There's a big difference between Nexus 6 support and Nexus 5 or OnePlus One. I've never encountered such big issues regarding MultiROM on that devices. I think I'll definitively switch to OnePlus One.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
You are not using the fixed multirom, simple. I flashed every single MM rom i could find to secondary. They all flashed well and booted up.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
I've used that modded version, too, but the boot screen for selecting ROM doesn't appear at all.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Are you sure that the kernel you use has kexec-hardboot? Which kernel is it?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
This had been discussed back a page or two. I assure you I had the same problem but got it fixed. I have no problems with multirom on my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
ElementalX.

---------- Post added at 22:20 ---------- Previous post was at 22:17 ----------

How is got fixed?! I've read a lot of posts here but there are different opinions.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
For me it was just reflashing a second time and then doing a manual inject current boot sector...

I think one after me flashed the modded files several times along with inject current boot sector
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] LGtMgG2t:
uhmm You are going to switch phones because of this app/hack that had no guarantees? Huh?

I'm honestly not sure what the issues are that some of you are having here. I'm still using the original version and anxious to try the new builds now. I gues I should be thankful that I've really seen no major issues yet.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jlokos:
My problem has been slightly different; I get the boot menu, but when I go into TWRP>advanced, there is no multi-rom option; I've flashed the 2 file fixes several times, but no change. BTW pure nexus is the primary rom. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
That happened to me on a previous device when I had the wrong TWRP installed. So to be sure...... You have a boot menu but no multirom in your TWRP? . Which TWRP download are you running?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Here are the files I used
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jlokos:
Those are the same files I'm using. And yes, I get the boot menu, but it doesn't show multi-rom under advanced in the TWRP.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
This is nearly impossible. The multirom button is even shown when multirom isnt installed.

---------- Post added at 06:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:37 AM ----------

Did you even do the effort to try another kernel???

I tried Hells, Hydra, Lean.... never had any problems with bootman
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
Do you have a TWRP theme installed?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Nope! It only needs kexec.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
if you dont try another kernel we will never know i guess. i know it only needs kexec. try Multiboot, it works too
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Multiboot?! Never heard about it. Found an app on Play Store, called Boot Manager.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] daheazle:
What are you using to flash the modified twrp? If you are trying to flash it in twrp try fastboot or flashify instead
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
I'm using TWRP. What do you mean: "... If you are trying to flash it in twrp try fastboot"?! As I know, fastboot is used only in bootloader.

---------- Post added at 15:50 ---------- Previous post was at 15:47 ----------

Thanks! It seems to be a little bit complicated. I don't want to mess my phone. Prefer MultiROM. For know I think I'll stop trying MultiROM, then I'll put my Nexus 6 on sale or an exchange for an OnePlus One.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Complicated?? It's just an app that patches and flashes you normal zipfiles, that's all.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] daheazle:
Instead of flashing the updated TWRP in TWRP. Flash it in fastboot or with and app called flashify. If the multirom options do not show up in TWRP you clearly don't have the modified TWRP installed.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
No offense meant to anyone but just to be sure and state for others.... I have used multirom since I bought my Nexus 6 and I have not had the first problem. Worked much better than with my M8
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jlokos:
Yes, I had a theme installed in my recovery before flashing the mod recovery and multi-rom; I tried both flashify and fastboot, but the same result, no multi-rom in advanced.. I will delete the theme file and try it once more.

Update: That was the problem. Thank you so much. Make sure you delete the theme from your existing recovery before flashing the mod files.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
Nice to have been of service.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
OK, meanwhile I flashed Chroma ROM as primary (along with Elite kernel) and than tried to flash MultiROM again through modified TWRP. No boot menu. "Inject boot img" was checked.

Then flashed through Flashify. Same results: no boot menu.

Checked in TWRP by tapping "Multirom" button. The Multirom menu is there but still no boot menu!

LE: flashed Pac ROM (Android 5.1) to see if the boot menu appears. No boot menu. The phone starts with Chroma ROM. Pac ROM it's "somewhere in the air"!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
bootmenu should already be there with only a primary rom.

can you boot into secondary roms using multirom manager?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
I repet: how would I boot in secondary while the menu where I have to select a ROM doesn't appears?! The phone boots up normally, as it has a single ROM.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
You sais you flashed pac as secondary. Is it shown in multirom MANAGER (apk from playstore??
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Too late... Returned to stock MM ROM. My patience reached the maximum limit.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Kris Nelson:
Gezzz i really have no idea what some of you guys are doing..

Download the 2 modded files

Flash the img in twrp (images) flashify or fastboot.. I used twrp

Flash the modded MR zip

Click inject

Reboot system

I haven't had a single issue with this mod at all.. nor anyone else I've passed it along to..

Thanks again to [MENTION=803530]Droidphilev[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] daheazle:
I wonder if people that are having problems are starting straight from the updated version, personally I was on the original first and then updated to the unofficial, haven't had any trouble. I wonder if something happens when you flash the official that doesn't happen when you flash the updated version?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Kris Nelson:
That could be it too.. I was also on official
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] jcrompton:
I was too

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

Awesome -- glad you got it fixed !!!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Oh well... better to forget this i think. It must be something stupid. Maybe they flas a kernel after multirom.zip or something. It works for many people so... :)

Not at all, the fixed version is not an update. You can start from scratch with the update :)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Started again today by manually flashing MRA58N images.

Then flashed decrypted stock kernel and decrypted userdata image (checked in Settings -> Security and is decrypted).

Then flashed modified twrp TWRP287_MultiROM_shamu_20151114.img. Then ElementalX kernel, Then multirom-20151104-v32-UNOFFICIAL-shamu.zip Failed! Now the boot menu appears but the phone boots up ONLY in recovery!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adl:
Am wondering if I can boot to the secondary from twrp. Reason I ask is, if something goes wrong after I flash on the internal and getting force closes right after booting up, if there is a way to boot to the second if there is no boot menu shown (as some people seems to have this happening). So, can I go from twrp right to the secondary ROM? Otherwise I'd be stuck booting always to the force closing ROM in scenario above.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
If the kernel of the primary rom isn't corrupt then yes, you will get the bootmenu. You can't boot into secondary roms straight from TWRP though. If you want to do that you have to swap primary/secondary roms in TWRP first.

---------- Post added at 07:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 AM ----------

flashed MRA58R

flashed hells kernel permissive

flashed MR TWRP

flashed MR zip

no problems

there's something wrong with your rom or kernel.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adl:
Ok, so with this workaround it's possible. Thanks! BTW, what would be the right way to get back to the official Multirom? Reflash twrp and than install Multirom manager from playstore?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
You don't need the manager. Flash uninstaller and flash official. Keep in mind that you can/will get problems with 'official' when using M roms!

"official" and "unofficial" are confusing terms. "old" and "new" would be better. they are the same but "unoffcial" contains fixes for M roms (newer trampoline)
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
There's a trick in your steps: hells kernel is provided in zip format. A zip file can be flashed only with a custom recovery. And you put custom recovery after flashing kernel. Please clarify me.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
Okay for people having trouble with Boot Menu not appearing, try to flash the Multirom.zip again and from Multirom settings select "inject boot sector" and maybe try doing that a couple of times. I had the same issue and solved it randomly somehow by following this procedure.

On another note I think its not the people that are doing something stupid but there is something wrong with the unofficial Multirom which results in some people not being able to get the Boot Menu. If it was an isolated issue it could be marked as "stupidity" on the part of the user but since a lot of the users are having the same problem, it is highly unlikely that all these users are similarly stupid.

It would be wise for people to drop the condescending attitude and try to look for a solution and not just come out with "I got it working why can't you"
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
I did clearly wrote "IT must be sonething stupid". Don't change my words!!!! I did not call anyone stupid. I only mean that there's a stupid little thing must have been done to make it not work. "Try to look for a solution"? I think i do my best giving info or try to help. But for the future i won't spent my time trying to help. Easier for me i guess.

---------- Post added at 07:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 AM ----------

... coming from normal TWRP this order is possble of course
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
Did not specifically address you as you are the one that came out with the Mod but meant that the general sentiment of the people who had got the mod working was that this is so easy why can't everybody else get it to work.

Sorry did not mean to offend you but I myself had been struggling for over a week with this Boot Menu issue and got no relevant suggestions from any of the members until one user posted the "inject boot sector" work around.

I only want to make the point without offending anyone that there is something slightly off with the unofficial Multirom which for some configurations is giving this issue.

Once again more tolerance towards people having issues without getting offended.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Thanks! It seems this the way it works! Tested by flashing PAC ROM as secondary after following your latest steps. Could you please put these steps in a readme file so you can help people? Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Uh??? You say it works now? I don't see at all what you were doing wrong then. Flashing an image or a zip cannot be a reason. I can only think that you flashed your kernel after MR.zip, that's all. I wonder what you did before.

A readme.... not my job to make a manual i think. I came only here because i was able to get it fixed for me personally but wanted to share it here, that's all.

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

The only reason that you had to do this, is because you probably flashed in the wrong order. If you flash a kernel AFTER you flashed MR.zip the kernel is not patched = no bootmanager. If you flash another kernel when you are already using Multirom: reflash MR.zip AFTER the new kernel or press 'inject boot' AFTER flashing the new kernel. This is basics when using Multirom. If i was the one having these problems i would say afterwards: "how stupid that only the order i flashed this in can break this" . SO nothing wrong meant with the word stupid.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
Not true. Dude I have been using Multirom since Nexus 4 days so I know what I am doing wrong or right. Just now flashed MRA58R system.img as primary and installed Cataclysm Mod over it and the flashed Elite kernel over it and what do you know, the friggin Multirom and its Boot Menu still works. Why don't you admit that there is a small possibility that there is something wrong with the Unofficial Multirom.

Jesus. Why don't you quit while you are ahead.

And please spare me the agony and don't reply to this post and please stop using the word "Stupid" its offensive..
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adl:
Just flashed the unofficial Multirom in twrp, than the zip, than hit the inject thing. Rebooted and the boot menu came up. :) Did this process only once btw. Thanks for the help and the unofficial build, looking forward to flash whatever I want as secondary. :D
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Keep in mind that not evryone is a native english speaker! I'm sorry i'm not a native english speaker dear sir!!! I tried to explain what i mean with the word 'stupid' for several times but it seems only your uberlanguage counts. Translated in my language the word 'stupid' doesn't have to be ofensive at all. Sure there can be something wrong with the fix but not for a few people. I can also say that i can answer to what i want, you don't have to read it , simple.

case closed, i was too stupid to bring the fixed version.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
It would be too nice everything works fine after succeeded to make MultiROM works. Guess what's happened now? Flashed two different ROMs (PAC ROM and Dirty Unicorns - both Lollipop based) but I'm getting a message saying “USB storage unavailable"! Tried to take a screenshot failed with error "Can't take screenshot due to limited storage space, or it isn't allowed by the app or your organization". This could be because the primary ROM is decrypted?!
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
TWRP says this? SOmewhere in the window in what you are trying to do there is a grey line saying "usb storage". click it and choose "Internal". you are trying to do an action to usb stick while there isn't one.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Not in TWRP but in secondary ROM. It happened both in Pac ROM and Dirty Unicorns. I'm trying to understand about what does it mean.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Never seen this before. No clue, sorry.

EDIT: the less encryption the better. But... you wrote before you flashed a non force encryption kernel. You also formatted storage afterwards??
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] adl:
Sorry to bother again. I tried flashing a ROM as secondary and after that gapps, kernel etc.but I didn't do it right, as all the stuff I flashed after the ROM got installed like another ROM but not into the just flashed ROM. What do I have to do, get the added stuff implement into the ROM itself? Hope you get what I am trying to say. The problem is, I can't find a way batch install several zips in a row, so I always go back and flash the next zip file. This seems to be what I do wrong. Any help is appreciated.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] :
Of course. This is the method to a correct decryption, right?
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Userdata.img???
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
After flashing the rom.zip in Multirom, go back into the Multirom menu and press list roms and you would see the name of the Rom.zip that you just flashed. Now click on that name and it will open a new menu which would give you the option to flash a zip. Click on this option and flash your gapps then again go back and choose the option to flash a zip and then flash your kernel etc.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Advanced > multirom > list roms

Select rom that you want to flash to
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] arifqur:
There are no decryted userdata.img's only a decryted Kernel as in all the custom kernels.

Flash Elite kernel if you have difficulty in making a decision as it works most of the time.

[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JuveAddict96:
Hi guys, you got any idea how to flash the official CM 13 via MultiRom on my Shamu? The original updater script doesn't work and I think a modded one is needed to install the rom.
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Flashes fine as secondary
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] JuveAddict96:
Did you try it? I used "add rom" but it gave me an error at the end of the installation process and aborted it :confused:
[Nexus 6  Original Android Development] Droidphilev:
Of course i tried, otherwide i wouldn't know that it works, not?

You are probably not using the fixed Multirom. I posted it here in this thread.
