PhoenixOS v1.0.9 Rooted .iso

Update Sept 10 New Version Available

v1.1.0 Link

Update Aug. 16: Special Edition 1 and 2, UEFI Compatibility, Installation Guide, Mount Windows Partitions

Here is a Bootable rooted .iso for the Phoenix Operating System based on Androidx86 Lollipop. I have included an installer in the zip. This is for running from a live USB with an option to install to harddisk from grub. I'm using Windows 10. I am also assuming that you know how to do some basic functions with your machine such as creating a new partition.

To use with Windows machine

:

1. Be sure you have Secure/Quickboot disabled in Bios.

2.Use a minimum 8Gb USB thumb drive 3.0 works best but high quality 2.0 will suffice. Formatted fat32. (Should be default)

3. Unpack PhoenixOS_v109_Rufus.zip

4. Run Rufus-2.9.exe

5.Select USB in the first entry.

6.Select iso towards the bottom and navigate to PhoenixOS iso. Rufus will automatically fill in the rest of the settings. Make sure the USB drive is still selected, though. You may change the partition label if you so desire.

7. Select start.

8. Make a bite to eat.

9. When Rufus has finished reboot into your Bios settings.

10. Select USB drive from boot selection, Legacy or UEFI, and boot it.

11. You will be greeted by the Rufus grub menu. Select "Live CD"

12. Boot up will take some time , you will hang at "Initializing System" for a while. If longer than say 10 minutes. Reboot and start at step one, using a better quality USB this time;).

14. Have a look around and enjoy. You will only have about 1Gb of internal storage available, also this session will not save, so I generally don't linger too long.​

To install to Hard Disk

:

This is where it can vary. With every machine being slightly different. There is also the potential to "inadvertently" erase something vital. Make sure you have a "Plan B". ​

1. Prepare a partition to the desired size. format to NTFS "I would say Ext4 but Windows disk manager doesn't have that option". You can use 3rd party software such as Partition Wizard, but it is not necessary. COMMIT THIS DRIVE # TO MEMORY. If you are running Windows only, this will generally be partition 4 or 5 . (Sda4 or Sda5) You can also make a small (300Mb) partition formatted to FAT32 for Grub installation. Windows will NOT let you create a partition of that size natively and you will have to use a third party application.

2. Boot up PhoenixOS USB.

3. Select second option "Installation".

4. Begin Guided installation. VERY IMPORTANT , select the appropriate partition. Here is where formatting Ext4 would help as it will be the only partition formatted as such, plus if unsure you can select do not format. If you would like more than 4Gb of storage, format to Ext4 . If you get it wrong it will format and over-write, possibly your C:\ Partition :(

5. Have it install Grub for legacy or Grub2 for UEFI, or both. I don't care :laugh:. I could be wrong. I am triple booting with Linux and Windows so Grub2 was already installed. Please post any different findings or opinions as I am limited in my equipment.

6. Choose partition for Grub installation.

7. Install.

8. Reboot, be sure to remove USB when safe.

9. If all went well you will be greeted with Grub menu. you will be able to choose either Windows or PhoenixOS. Enjoy. <----Dual Booting is easy.

10. If you wish to triple boot...It took me a week to figure it out finally had success with Grub2win for Windows or Grub-customizer for Linux. Alas, if you want to triple-boot, you should be able to work it out. Please share any findings as this is a work in progress.​

:)I Hope You Enjoy!!!:)

I'm always available to answer questions. Unless I'm not, then I won't.:laugh:

Don't forget the "Thanks" button.:good::good:
