Question​I was wondering if dual booting recovery/bootloader was a possibility for our device? If so what do we need to do to accoplish this? I have this on my AT&T SGS2 i777 and enjoy being able to test a ROM before using it, and I could have JB on one and ICS with a custom kernel(Blackout BeastMode v2.1) on the other. I think an official CWM Recovery would help or include this, because I believe right now its unofficial. I dont know for sure, I have used TWRP for a while now.
Any input is appeciated so long as it is on ow the xda forum rules.
This is a really good idea I tried to manually set up dual boot from the market but it would fail every time at modifying the boot image. I would love to be able to bounce between to roms as well.

Does boot manager not work with this device?
It would use the same method as boot manager
Edit: its not supported but someone can work with the dev in getting us support
Or atleast those who don't have a locked down hboot

Hi, I want to know how to boot more than one rom using Boot Manager... i've tried to do it numerous times but each time I just get frozen on my carrier logo on reboot. What partitions do i need setup? I'm a bit of a noob so if it's really complicated can you simplify it. Thanks in advance.
Dude, I made a thread on this - did you need to make another one?
I've had no luck either... Tried it on about 5 different ROMs, but never works! Have you tried formatting your memory card?

Are you sure?
Boot manager app has given official support for our device. And I have seen proof of it working - on youtube on a Desire S booting CM7 & MIUI.
Also bootmanager cleverly overrights the kernel with the new boot.IMG each time you flash.

Well the app allows you to change the boot.img before you boot into a different ROM. So it should still work

Today I got it to work with Virtuous Infinity + ViperSaga and now using Virtuous + CM10.
I had to S-OFF with ENG HBOOT! Setup 2 Rom's, make a Nandroid and then choose in Boot Manager Install Zip -> Restore Nandroid, not install from Zip.
Works like charm for me. (=
Ok people, Here is a couple of Questions for you. My AT&T One X is rooted with an unlocked bootloader however, I am running a stock Rom. I just started getting this AT&T message that is giving me the option to update my software. But! It gives me a choice of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 hours to remind me if I do not do it now. If I let the update happen, will it crash my phone? Will it take out my root? Permanently ?? I am afraid to update because I have been reading that AT&T has been trying to fix their back door.
Also, How can I stop the reminder from coming back???

Or CleanROM Lite (very slim speedy rom mostly everything stripped out install own apps from market)

And then kernal from (general consensus is 1.82 is the best for performance and battery.

I will do that. I have to get up early for work so I will be back on tomorrow night. One last thing though, you said to flash the Rom then the Kernal? I thought the Kernal came first.
Oh and what if I flash the Kernal without updating to the new Rom? The reason I'm asking is that My wife has the same phone However hers is Rooted but not BL un-locked. so if I flash just the Kernal would it work? Then, would it solve the AT&T reminders to upload their Rom?
Sorry for all the Questions, Gary
These kernals are recovery flashable. Meaning from CWM so ordet doesn't matter, technically the Rom will flash a kernel, but some users say one is better than another so just throwing out options. I don think there is a way to get rid.of.the notification unless you could.freeze the updater app with something like titanium backup, or go custom Rom route.

I want to thank you for the recomending this Rom it all went in beutifully! I ended up flashing my wifes phone also.
Today AT&T sent us messages that stated that there would be no more reminders and that if we did not choose to update they would update anyway. So I shut down the phones until I got off work and took out our access cards then turned off Wi-Fi. Finnally when I could this afternoon I started flashing.
Nice, I'm glad it worked out for you. CleanROM lite is nice too, if you want a leaner Rom.

I have flashed two custom ROMs now and both have been glitchy and slow. (stuttering, freezes, FCs, etc)
I found my original nandroid from just barely post unlock/root, and restored it. I'm on 1.7x and would like to stay that way if at all possible.
Does anyone know what to freeze in TiBa in order to get this to stop? I just want to stay on stock/rooted for right now.

Try cleanrom now, you need to give it a day to build up caches, but it was rebuilt on a more stable Rom.

Is there any reason I'd want to keep my 1.7x and NOT update (if I can help it)?
Every time I flash something on this phone, it seems to slow way way down. I just want it to stay where it is.

Been running CleanRom 1.1 lite for about 12 hours and its WAY better than stock by far! Flashed the battery percentage and dim 3 led's and dual core mod. Couldnt ask for anything more
thanks!
So if I have 1.73 rooted with bootloader unlocked. Can i just install clean rom to update to 1.85? or do i first have to update? If i have to update first is it better to use the Peter's guide post or can i just use bootkeeper and to the ota update?
Thanks!
Hey community?
I have been following this wonderful community for more than a year and had a question regarding how to install Blindice v12 on my desire s with s-on.
I have had cm7 and miui on my device before. It means you can't straight flash through recovery( you have to flash kernel through fastboot). So when I open bindicev12.zip, I see a kernel folder and four different folders named : default, sio, smartass and sweeptowake which have their individual boot.img . So which one should I flash? The default one? Help is really appreciated.
Check the updater script to find hints and identify which boot.img you should flash.
There should be, somewhat close, to "if" clauses.
I haven't installed blindice yet so really just trying to help out, out from common sense.
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda app-developers app
Thanks I think the sweeptowake,sio etc are just governers. The default one is cm9. Is is safe though?

You'll never know unless you try. Based on experience, if the rom is on a wrong kernel, it just not boot up. You may end with a boot loop or boot directly to recovery. Those are the signs that your are not on the correct kernel(boot.img).

Is there any work around to get ROM Manager to work on the HTC One X?
Whenever I try using the application it tells me that I must install "ClockworkMod recovery" and It appears to be unavailable for the HTC One X currently. Am I just doing something wrong here?
Yeaaaaa. Everything you just mentioned is wrong. Do not use rom manager, or CWM. You'll brick as it IS NOT supported for our phone.
That is, if you have a branded dual core version with LTE.

Thank you for the confirmation.
Is there a similar program I can use that will work with the HTC One X?
Why not just flash thru recovery?
If you're running the CM10 ROM, I'm pretty sure there's a nifty updater app available from play store. It basically checks your current version and only downloads the parts needed for the next nightly you want to install, which saves doing a full download and flash. But like I said that's only for CM10 users.

Rom manager only ever worked well with CM roms. But even then it's better to use twrp. Using it on stock based roms is asking trouble.

Most people just flash through recovery with twrp (which has a nice touch screen interface btw). I've heard that the highest supported version for the HOX is 2.3.1.0, so just make sure the version you install is supported.

Ya I thought that might happen haha. It was just a bit of information, ROM manager was used by some to flash updates etc so I thought it might be vaguely relevant.

Why do people like Rom manager its no more work than usual and its usually outdated
Dirty rom comes with flash Gui it allows you to atleast switch them in the android os vs recovery?

Its remnants from a year or two ago. It was a must have app for rooted phones and was quite awesome in its day. So people upgrading from phones after a 2 year ownership, its just figured that they need it like before.

this experimental feature is called MultiROM and allow to have the multi-boot function in the device...in the nexus is useful to boot ubuntu, but is also great for boot multiple roms.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011403
this is the thread of the project, in the second post OP explains "how is made", so maybe a dev could port this or do something like
I am not a developer, this is not a request, just an idea.

yes, but this works at least
it starts on every boot, you choose rom and boot it...is quite simple...it requires a modified recovery to install and manage roms
on my nexus is awesome
