Our device is officially supported for dualboot using the app Dualboot Patcher, it allows to dualboot multiple android version, example LineageOS and AOKP, unfortunately it doesnt allow Android 6.0 and 7.0 at same time due to changes in preloader. So im here to give a guide on how we can do this, it should work with any rom if its android 6 with android 6 or 7 with 7. If you like this guide you can donate to me here: https://www.paypal.me/RubenCraveiro

Any questions you might have please post below and ill be sure to try and help :)

Requirements:

Root and a version for dualboot.

/*Tested on: LineageOS with AOKP on 6.0 */

/* Stock Rom with Lineage on 6.0 */

So first thing you have to do is download the secondary rom of your choice, it needs to be a flashable zip, not a zip for sp flash tools.

After downloading the rom, download this apk: https://goo.gl/FBnJWG

After you installed the apk, open it go on ROMs tab and you should see this:

[IMG="ROMs page"]https://i.imgur.com/MHmeeWi_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high[/IMG]

After granting root permissions you should see the above page, press the set now button to set kernel as default.

After doing that and having the secondary rom downloaded, follow the next steps on the next images to configure the flashable zip for dualbooting.

[IMG="Patch Zip File page 1"]https://i.imgur.com/LwQ3PMv_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high[/IMG]

After choosing rom continue next image.

[IMG="Patch Zip File page 2"]https://i.imgur.com/FgMTnSV_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high[/IMG]

Patch the zip now, after zip is patched go back to ROMs page and follow the next images.

[IMG="ROMs page"]https://i.imgur.com/HOP0EJM_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high[/IMG]

[IMG="In-App Flashing"]https://i.imgur.com/qI1jzAc_d.jpg?maxwidth=640&shape=thumb&fidelity=high[/IMG]

After selecting the patched zip, it will ask if you want to change location, keep it, a quick info is that, if you want to add google apps to dualbooted rom, you have to patch the gapps zip and set the location to the ID(android name) you previously made of the dualbooted rom, so that it doesnt install on primary rom and flashes to the secondary rom.

You should press the ✓ button after selecting patched zip and should start installing the rom.

After it flashes simply select the rom on ROMs page and reboot, to go back to primary rom simply install the app on secondary rom.

Quick info on device name error, if the app says it cant find device name "elephone" you need to change the build prop device name "elephone" to "p9000" (case sensitive) and do a reboot after to apply changes.

Known issues:

Rotating device or leaving in background while flashing causes app to crash when reentering the app.

Special Thanks to

--- Roms that should work ---

Android 6 Dualboot with LineageOS 14.1;

LineageOS 13 with LineageOS 14.1;

AOKP6 with LineageOS 14.1/LineageOS 13;

RR 6.0 with Stock Rom(6.0) / LineageOS 13/14.1;

-- Does Not Work --

Android 6 with Android 7.0 (stock roms)

Android 7 with Lineage 13/14.1

Android 7 with AOKP 6/7

Reason to why some work and some dont is because, android stock roms on 7.0 have changes in preloader that makes older roms not dualboot, if such is attempted to do. LineageOS 14.1 is Android 7.1 but it is based on old preloader so it should work with any android 6 rom. AOKP 7 is based on LineageOS 14.1 sources so it is also based on old preloader and as such should also work with any android 6 rom + LineageOS 14.1.

If you have any questions or you are unsure about anything, just ask.

Kernel

Hi i use to dual boot Eragon and Stock Rom but on eragon dual boot app says :"could not determine boot partition because this devices codename "elephone" is not recognized
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
On buildprop change the device name to p9000(case sensitive), theres a few roms that have the name Elephone and not p9000 and need to be modified manually, but its simple and easy
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] aljoscha81:
Got no luck any idea?

Update it is impotant to write a little p otherwise it wont work thanks a lot
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
its case sensitive i think, instead of P9000 do p9000 it should be able to find after
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] aljoscha81:
Found another Problem im on android 7 from needrom build 419 and want to dualboot eragon 7 but when i select the zip to patch it opens the zip. And i cant do anything from that point on i only see the files inside the zip.

Got the problem solved long press on the zip. :)

Sry long for time not give a feedback....managed dualboot android6 and7 but problem when using primery rom too long .... Secondary rom only got boot loop ......................i see in kernel of secondery rom every time a really old kernel 3.18.22. First. Kernel ever?

Is it possible to install iOS rom with Android 7?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
its only possible 6.0 with 6.0 roms and 7.0 7.0/7.1.. this is due to changes in preloader between version, and im not sire what are you talking about, an ios rom, if you talking about actual ios for an androod device, that doesnt even exist for any device.. and a skinned android i dont think it exists either, to our device at least..

Little Update: LineageOS 14.1 and AOKP 7 is based on old preloader so these work with any android 6 rom. Android Stock Rom 7.0 still does not work since its still based on a newer preloader. (This is just to help anyone that comes across this and doesnt get confused)
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] pimandro:
Sorry for my ignorance.

I have android 7.0 (419) on my p9000, can I also install lineageos 14. 1?

Thank you.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
No you cant, unfortunatelly LOS14.1 is based on the older preloader so it only works android 6.0/AOKP6/AOKP7/RR + LOS14.1
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
Can I install lineageos 14.1 with android 6.0 and then update android 6.0 to official 7.0?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
You cant, if you want to update to android 7.0 you will need to update preloader, and cm14.1/aokp7 doesnt support the updated preloader, but android 6 with los14.1 should work
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
And how I downgrade from Android 7.0 to 6.0 if the preloader it's not the same????
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
download the stock android 6 rom and flash it to the device using spft, with all partitions checked, it should return to android 6 and also revert the preloader to an older version, and by the way, if for some reason the device doesnt boot, go on the lineage thread and download the preloader and the other images it provides and flash them, android 6 should be able to boot and you should also be able to just flash lineage through twrp
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
And this in download only, ok system update or how?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
just google it, plenty of guides explaining how to use sp flash tools.
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
Yes but I mean to downgrade It has yo be download only mode, or system update mode or on format all mode
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
download mode should work, but if the sim card doesnt get detected do format + download
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
Okay. If I do format + download I will lose my IMEI, really? And then I will have to use maui meta. Another thing. What stock ROM 6.0 you recommend me?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
latest stock works fine, and doing format + download just sets the imei to 111111, still works, i never really had to use maui meta or any other app like that since the numbers get deleted but its dtill detects and works the same
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
Ok. I have heard that if IMEI was 11111111111... I won't be able to call and yo use mobile data
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
mines 11111 and i use mobile data, messaging and calls every day
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
Ok. And at the moment what ROM do you think is the better lineageos, stock official, or any other...?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
stock because it has less bugs, but if u want costumization use lineage
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
If I downgrade from 7.0 to 6.0 without checking userdata in download Mode, Will It install 6.0 with my programmes and all my data?

---------- Post added at 11:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 AM ----------

Deepflex said that is going to make the New release based on nougat, so I think I won't need to downgrade to 6.0 and also if the do that i Will be able to install lineageos and official 7.0 without losing data, or that i think ???
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
if anyone could said me if that is true
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
you shouldnt downgrade and keep your data, most likelly its not going to boot(bootloop) or lots of app crashes, do a clean install
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] javier_abad2001:
If the next release of lineage is based on nougat, will i need to downgrade?
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
Lineage is already on nougat, what you might be talking about is the preloader, the current lineage version (both 6.0 and 7.1) use the older preloader of the stock android 6, so if you wish to dualboot, you need to downgrade from stock 7.0 to android 6, and dualboot with lineage 14.1/13.0, also, can you ask all your questions privately? No need to spam the threads, keep it simple, because you ask a lot of questions that dont even have anything to do with the thread your in, so ill gladly awnser any questions you might have, privately.

EDIT: Okay, just saw what deepflex said on Lineage 14.1, if he does start working under nougat, then yes, theres no need for a downgrade, simply dualboot Stock android 7 with Lineage 14.1, however, such update hasnt happend yet so you still need to make the downgrade.

Roms

I downloaded the stock Android P9000 standard rom. Its a rar file, not a zip, and it wont flash.

So where do you get the flashable zip versions from?

Im running Eragon and want to dual boot with a stock rom.

Elephone_P9000_7.0_20170419.rar
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruben Craveiro:
Format all + download stock, dualboot it with eragon afterwards, theres no flashable stock rom, only for flash tools
[Elephone P9000 Guides, News, & Discussion] Zencheng:
I tried with using the Eragon rom im on now.

Downloaded another Eragon rom, flashed it, which went ok.

But everytime i try to install it starts process then crashes the app.

Keeping phone portrait and app in focus .

Tried moving flashed rom to phone root same.

Rebooted phone also.
[Samsung Gear S3] cozyjohn:
can anyone point me in the right direction for finding a great fitness app that can connect to a chest strap heart rate monitor? using primarily for monitoring heart rate during weightlifting. Unfortunately samsung health will not track heart rate for weightlifting.....
[Samsung Gear S3] arl16:
The UnderArmour suite of apps should be able to do it. I'm not sure I'd call them "great" - I've had some syncing issues, but theoretically, it should do what you're looking for.
[Samsung Gear S3] michail71:
I use UA Record while doing strength training (basic compound lifts) or conditioning type work in the gym. I just pick "Gym, other" although there are options such as upper/lower body. The only lists that get my heart up are squats and to a lesser extent deadlifts. I can hit 120 BPM on heavy squats.

You get a workout timer on one screen and HR on the other.

When I do conditioning workouts I can get my HR up as high as 190 and show a calorie burn around 500 for a half hour. Which is about right.

For runs I'll use MapMyRun.
[Samsung Gear S3] cozyjohn:
Yeah it takes almost 2 days to update the app on the phone, not syncing with samsung health.
[Samsung Gear S3] cozyjohn:
Hey, it appears that UA Record syncs better than Map my run, thanks!
[Samsung Gear S3] gettinwicked:
Anyone have any luck getting this to sync with Samsung Health or myfitnesspal? I can't get it to sync with either... The latter is made by the same company lol.
[Samsung Gear S3] badadam:
I use Endomondo for weights, spinning & kayaking. Same company as UA. No problems with syncing with Samsung Health.

I know there's a thread relating to CPW but this thread is for all UK options. Be it contract or SIM free, try to get best deals.

So far best deal seems to be thru CPW £599.

Didn't see any preorders thru network yet.

If anyone has any news could share it here.

This phone won't appeal to the masses as it will never receive the same marketing advertising as Samsung also might have been better to be priced around £550.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] 10rdan:
It was never goin to be priced at £550, the 10 was just under £580 at launch.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] spikeydoo2006:
Actually, it is priced £550 from HTC with discount from HTC UK on Twitter, and the 10 was just over £500 using the same method.

Just message HTC UK on Twitter and inquire about a discount code ?

Never hurts to ask.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] giorgoxxi:
They now encourage you to join the HTC Club, where the phone is priced at £584. Obviously your discount code is better, any chance you could share it if its not unique?
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] spikeydoo2006:
I would share it with you, but it was only valid for 24 hours and I believe single use.

I did try to share after I used it with other UK people, but they couldn't get it to work again.

Have you tried messaging on Twitter? That's probably the best option.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] riz157:
That's a good find. I might try it but at the moment quite happy with S8 Plus. I'm so used to big screen not sure I can go down to 5.5. I hope HTC do well though as I've been HTC fan since their first smartphone.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] shineyads:
I can confirm what spikeydoo2006 said - I just tweeted them asking for a discount code as I was interested in buying it if a discount was available for previous customers (that was a slight...well...lie, this will be my first HTC phone) and they gave me a 15% discount code.

I would advise just to check the discount before purchasing though - when using it on Chrome it only gave a 10% discount, but using it on Edge gave the full 15%.
[HTC U11  Guides, News, & Discussion] Flinny:
I looked at sim free and still decided to go with ee on pre order. 20% NHS discount on the line rental swung it for me.

How about The adbocker ones like youtube adaway and soundcloud adblock are those legal to use?
[Xposed General] Nergal di Cuthah:
I'm not a lawyer but none are illegal afaik at least in the U.S. but, different countries might have laws
[Xposed General] thekidelvis:
ok Im in the US thank you man!
[Xposed General] Robert342:
If you've got it into official Xposed Repository or we can talk about here (and in modules section) I think they are legal. Because using it, you don't modified YT app permanently - just you've got another apps (modules) for overlay YT. Can use or only download/install it for testing this part of service if it's not available in your country. Exactly - if you can't use this part of YT (background) normalny, what can you do? In sum, no one can force you to throw them away, nor account for use since modules are available here. That's all I think about. Cheers.

Thanks to @feherneoh who posted the content of this thread originally here:Post #1

Post #2

NOTE:

DO NOT ask for a backup. If you do not have one, you have to accept to be permanently on Android like me.

Create a folder somewhere that we can use

Copy the backup to that folder

extract the zip I attached to this folder

Download these into the folder:

imgman.exe

Original partition table

recovery_unsecure.img

EDIT: Someone seems to have taken down the main Android4Lumia thread, along with it's creator and it's attached files. The files can be found in the attachments down below.

create another folder inside this one called "parts"

run this command:

Code:

imgman64.exe <backup.img> parts

replace <backup.img> with the filename of your backup

Code:

fastboot boot recovery_unsecure.img
adb push fame_wp_unlocked.gpt /cache/
adb shell
sgdisk --load-backup /cache/fame_wp_unlocked.gpt /dev/block/mmcblk0
sync
sync
reboot

ADB should disconnect at this point

Code:

fastboot flash <partition> parts\<partition>.img

WHERE <partition> is one of these (flash them in this order):

TZ

SSD

RPM

WINSECAPP

MODEM_FSG

MODEM_FS1

MODEM_FS2

UEFI_BS_NV

UEFI_NV

UEFI_RT_NV

UEFI_RT_NV_RPMB

PLAT

MMOS

EFIESP

UEFI

Then reboot the phone with

Code:

fastboot reboot

Phone will show smiley of death, that's normal

From this point, you can use WDRT to flash a clean WP, or reflash the one from the backup using thor2

thor2 should be at

64-Bit Windows

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool

32-Bit Windows

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Care Suite\Windows Device Recovery Tool

To do this

Code:

thor2 -mode rnd -bootflashapp

wait for the phone to show the alternative NOKIA logo, where the text is not centered vertically

Code:

thor2 -mode uefiflash -partitionname MainOS -partitionimagefile parts\MainOS.img
thor2 -mode uefiflash -partitionname Data -partitionimagefile parts\Data.img

EDIT: or just flash your phone's FFU file (download from lumiafirmware.com ):

thor2 -mode uefiflash -ffufile <Path-to-FFU> -do_full_nvi_update -do_factory_reset

thanks to @feherneoh for this hint

And then reboot:

thor2 -mode rnd -bootnormalmode

WP8 should boot :)

Instead of thor2 you can flash MainOS and Data partition/FFU (with both partitions included) with WPInternals or WDRT
