1) Multirom should be compatible with your device

2) It's impossible to brick a device by flashing a wrong recovery or multirom

3) If the firmware installation wipe /sdcard and restore stock recovery, yes, you have to reinstall multirom
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] akil777:
thanks bro :)... I was a bit afraid of hardbricking my device because I had recenty done it. My device has been accidentaly removed from my USB port while flashing stock ROM at aboot.mbn. Now I cannot turn on my phone anymore, not even in ODIN mode. Now I am using a secondhand A500F while the A500H's Motherboard is being replaced which gonna take few days.

and more.. on the multiboot menu while I went on recovery, it got stuck on recovery boot and after flashing stock ROM, I cannot remove a folder "multirom" which is located in my sdcard. I had tried es file explorer, and tried to remove it via PC but in vain.. if possible can you help me please.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
Haha you hardbricked the device during bootloader flash. That's the only way to hardbrick a device. Anyway you can use octoplus box to fix..... Can you explaim better? I don't know if it is a problem of the ROM of my recovery
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] akil777:
Octoplus box's price is about twice as the price to replace my phone's mobo. And i think the problem recovery bootloop which i got when I select "reboot to recovery" is related to either the boot image because it only boot into it or the stock kernel because it happened when flashing via flashify unlike custom kernel.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
Flashify caused me reboot to recovery issues, try with odin
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] akil777:
you're right.. now flashed with odin and I have stock 6.0.1 as Internal and secondary CM13.0 by TheWhisp in multiboot
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
I'm always right :silly:

Well I installed modified TWRP and the Multirom zip but when I click on advanced in TWRP all I see are Copy Log, Fix Contexts, Partition SD, File Manager,Terminal, Reload Theme and ADB Sideload. Just like in other TWRP. I cannot see MultiRom. I downloaded TWRP 20161020 and multiRom 20161016.

Thank you!! [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] would be proud of me :D

Ad yes it works, it also the only device tested by me
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Fild5x:
As of today I have a clear understanding of the MultiRom. I had it all wrong intially. Currently I am using it to test a new ROM. I have an internal ROM but I can play around with the new ROM. This is great. Thanks @ DeadSquirrel01.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] shadowxasian:
Successfully flashed onto A500W and working, for the most part. I'm not able to boot roms off of my 64gb sd card when formatted in exFAT since it hangs at the bootloader, but if it's in FAT32, it works as long as you try it twice.

Same things happens in the recovery. ExFAT doesn't get detected unless I reboot 3 or 4 times in a row, but FAT32 gets detected on the second reboot consistently. There's also a couple of other bugs in the recovery I've noticed. MTP doesn't work in this recovery while it did in others I've tried, and vibration doesn't work for me either.

I can get around these issues but having a 4Gb limit for secondary roms is bound to limit me eventually. Great work! I'm also using your CM14 as a secondary rom :)
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
1 thing is sure: Vibration works!!!
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] shadowxasian:
Not for the A500W :(

Out of all the custom roms, kernels, and recoveries I've tried based on the A500FU, not a single one had vibration working. I've basically lost hope lol.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
Try to run restorecon

If someone will port it sure
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Fild5x:
Oh! The swapped ROM could not boot up. I tried to re-swap but I ended up not being able to boot on both ROMs. I had to start all over again. Thanks
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
Hmm, stuck at logo or at bootanim? Then if you tried to re inject boot image and then re runned restorecon I think you have to upload some logs. Also I've seen that [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] pushed to github something related new file contexts binary file. I will upload new version as soon as possible, and if it won't work you will have to post some logs
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Fild5x:
Was actually getting stuck on logo and not bootanimation for both roms. Will try as suggested and will give feedback. Will wait for update and will do as requested. Thanks.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Fild5x:
With these updates, I was able to boot the backed up rom. I am yet to see if i can swap roms. Thanks to the dev.

Could you please tell which is the best rom for galaxy a5 available? ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Fild5x:
Sorry but I am sure I will not be allowed to discuss that on this thread but I will give a short answer. As far as am concerned the best ROM so far is Resurrection Remix based on MM 6.0.1 by [MENTION=6446790]mygalaxya[/MENTION].
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Fild5x:
I am actually loving multirom. I wish there was an app which could detect all the roms installed and I can select using this app a rom that I would like the phone to boot into next. This app can then go into recovery, select and start running that rom. This app I can install on each one of the roms. However this is just a wish which has come as a result of the process that I am currently going into when changing from one rom to the other. I know there are so many limitations in my wish. MultiROM is a dream come true for me.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] aryan1997:
Hey, I tried the MultiRom and its amazing. It works smoothly without any errors or lag.

Thanks a lot for the Multirom.

I only wanted to ask that I tried to install rom on my sd card but it showed " Error 7 : symlinks something... " during flashing process. Is it a bug or did I do anyting wrong?

My device is SM-A500G
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
What rom? And can you attach recovery log?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] aryan1997:
I tried to flash Resurrection Remix v5.8.

I was able to flash it on my internal memory normally.

But not on the sd card.

Here are the screenshots.

Whats the error?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
The problem is probably the installer which wants to add symlinks to files that are not present in your device.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] aryan1997:
I even tried Aryamod Note7 Port v2 but same problem. It shows the same error " some symlinks failed ".

Is there a way to get rid of this error and install the rom to my sd card ?
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Qcraft:
wish I could install it on my sd card too

is it possible to copy ROM to sd card after install?

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Fild5x:
I know [MENTION=7511870]DeadSquirrel01[/MENTION] you are nowhere to be found but I will still comment. I have used Multirom for quiet a good time. However on my phone, all secondary ROMs can only work for a short while. After one or two rebooting into the secondary ROM, it will not boot up as it will be stuck in a boot loop. To get around this issue, before I reboot, I have to kind of restore to factory settings by wiping data, dalvik and cache. Doing so will help me to reuse the secondary ROM but I will lose all third party apps and root. Now is there a way to avoid this? Anyone can help.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Fild5x:
Well in order to avoid data loss through the method I described above, I have realised that I can still maintain the rom according to my settings (including root) by simply swarping roms. This means that if I have to use a ROM, I have to make it as primary (internal ROM). It is cumbersome but helps. Also, I have to make sure that I do not reboot a secondary ROM. I only need to reboot a ROM if it is primary (internal) ROM.
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] Fild5x:
Omg. After all this time and even gave up on MultiRom, I realised only today this morning that I have to 'inject boot sector ' every time I want to boot into primary ROM to avoid bootlooping. My stupidity. Thanks [MENTION=7511870]DeadSquirrel01[/MENTION] once again though I no longer get anything more from you anymore. Actually worried seriously.

New version is out! Links are the same, just download the newer versions of multirom-twrp and multirom (20170907)

Change twrp color from blue to green

Use very tiny kernel (6.4M) with lots of drivers useless for recovery removed (such as network drivers, sound drivers and lots more)(https://tinyurl.com/yb43gtks)

So, enjoyyy

I have moved away from Marshmallow just like I did for Lollipop, KitKat and Jellybean. Means I will not be able to use MultiRom on my a5h because I seem not to be able to use this for any Nougat ROM. If I use nougat ROM as secondary, the apps start crushing immediately I run the ROM. First to crash the launcher say Trebuchet. Any help to resolve this issue will be greatly appreciated.

[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
Nope, i think that's a multirom problem, not of my port. Not really sure, but I think yes
[Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Android Development] DeadSquirrel01:
New version of multirom is out!

Link of multirom zip is the same; just download 20170910 version.

Changelog:

Change boot menu color from red to blue (according to Telegram group's poll)

Adjust DPI so that fonts and images aren't too big for A5 display.

If you get force closes on secondary nougat roms:

Flash the rom, open /sdcard/multirom/roms/rom_name/system/build.prop on primary or on twrp with "vi" editor and change:

ro.sys.sdcardfs=true

to

#ro.sys.sdcardfs=true

Then reboot.

DO NOT reboot the rom before changing build.prop line otherwise you will still get force closes!

[General Questions and Answers] FluffyTwit:
Hey,

I have a WileyFox Storm, which runs Cyanogen OS as sotck (kipper). At the moment, it has TWRP CR (which is a special version for the Storm), but is not rooted.

A couple of weeks ago, I tried to connect my Storm to my PC (which I have connected it to before) via USB. However, it did not connect. There was no Window's 'chime' or notification (anywhere), and my phone was not on 'device manager' or 'printers and devices'. I had enabled USB debugging (I also tried it disabled), I had got the ADB drivers for the Storm and etc.... but all my phone said was that it was charging. I tried using different USB ports (both 3.0 and 2.0) and different USB cables. I also tried wiping dalvik and cache.

I now want to restore to factory image, however I don't know how to do it if my phone can't connect to my PC.

Please help!

Thanks :))
[General Questions and Answers] smz804:
Possible workarounds :-

1)Flashing a TWRP backup (if you have one). OR

2)Connecting to a different computer and flashing stock rom. OR

3)Dual booting a different version of Windows on your PC and flashing stock rom using the other OS.

Got hit with the dreaded bootloop this morning. Currently rooted+unlocked bootloader so the yellow 'your android os may be corrupted' triangle shows when restarting. Will that affect my warranty situation? Guessing yes, so has anyone been able to unroot while the bootloop is happening?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fenopy:
I guess I would try to get rid of that....

You can check out my topic here- Random (Hard?) Brick

Can you get into Download Mode? Recovery? Anything?

You should be able to get into USB-Download Mode by pulling the battery, putting it back in, hold down Vol-Up, and connecting your phone via USB to your PC.

If you are able to get in there, I guess I would try doing an update via LG Bridge. That put my phone 'back to normal' (except still bootlooping). I was then able to get into Fastboot as well and relock the bootloader.

First of all T-zones will not work on the Cingular 8525. What you need to do is to take that option off and instead put the 19.99 unlimited GPRS(internet) on.

Hi,

I've got some unanswered questions, at least for me.

So,

1.) I have two batteries. One is original with 3000 mAh and other one is 5200 mAh. Other one with 5200 mAh lasts longer (ofcourse it does) but when I check capacity of it with some app, it always says that battery has only 3000 mAh. So it makes me wonder if app says wrong or battery has really only 3000 mAh.

2.) Using above mentioned batter (5200 mAh one) makes my phone warmer. At least I think so. I will use original one for a week to test if that is really true. Does anyone has any similar situation to mine? While using 3rd party battery makes phone warmer.

3.) Under the post are pictures of my genuine battery. Since I bought this phone as a used one, I don't actually know how old the battery is actually. So on battery is pasted a date and it says 15th of January 2016. So it makes me wonder is the battery really only half of the year old, even if seller calms that phone is 2 years old. Someone please confirms that for me.

Thank you in advance
