Does anyone know how to get the Chacha dual booting? I'd love to dual boot adlx's CM7 and CM9 as well as stock
I've already tried the app Boot Manager, which apparently works on the HTC Wildfire (Buzz) according to this thread.
I couldn't get it to work however (whilst running CM7), I got the error "can't edit boot.img". I've read the log, but I'm really not clever enough to understand it haha I was hoping some developers could have a look as the original devs of the app seem to have gone off the surface of the earth :/
Is there any other way to dual boot? I've seen other threads like for the desire HD where devs have made dual boot scripts which work.
I have no idea, but this would be so useful. On the Atrix 4G there is something like this; one OS on the SD card and one on the Internal memory.
It would mean the whole system is on the SD card, which probably would cause problems. There isn't enough room on the internal.

I tried this on my A2 and it works.. Not sure if it helps yall to know that or not. I was able to boot into recovery by holding volume up and down while powering on then selecting bp tools. Idk where to post this either.. Could we use this to install custom roms? The droid 3 has similar hardware to ours, What would happen if I used safestrap and installed a droid 3 rom?
Do not try to install a Droid 3 rom. While this may help us in some way the architectures of the devices are very different and you will more than likely end up with a bricked device.
If your able to dual boot with this then wouldn't that mean that i'd be unable to brick my phone because the os that i'm flashing is installed to a second partition? ...It is able to dual boot android on a droid 3.
Nvm.. It cant mount /emmc

Please listen to Jimmy, you are talking about installing something that was not meant for our phone. As similar as they may seem they aren't the same. No one wants to see you brick your phone but at the same time YOU'VE BEEN WARNED AND WE HAVE NO WAY OF HELPING YOU RECOVER RIGHT NOW!
I didn't flash it.. It cant mount /emmc which i assume is where the second file system goes so, I don't wanna brick my 4th atrix just yet.. But the backups that the safestrap recovery make are just over 200mb bigger why is that? and there is a boot folder but its empty. Will this be any help in the custom roms area?
Someone already posted something like this from the Bionic which is even cloder to our phone. Like they said PLEASE DONT FLASH THAT ROM...or any ROM not made for the Atrix2. To answer your questions
EMMC is internal media space, or internal storage that is user accessible. We do not have that space, our 8gb of internal space is not user accessible.
The backups are 200mb bigger because of Webtop (assuming you are comparing it to a Droid 3 backup)
I do not know why the boot folder is empty. A reason why it may not be safe to use this bootstrap.
Nope, I'm comparing backups I made from my a2. one with the atrix bootstrap and one with the droid safestrap. the one made with safe strap is actually over 300mb bigger. Is that because of webtop?
Not that i want to see you brick your A2, but were you able to restore a backup? That is the only that scares me about doing any kind of tweaks. I like to do backups anytime I am doing any kind of changes, just in case i blow it up. Once we get an SBF to flash back to stock, I won't be worried.
i would like to install cm7.2 kang or better on internal memory of nook color. im a noob, although i do know a little. if someone could point me in the right direction id appreciate it. i read so many threads and tried searching only to read more threads that didnt lead to any help. I dont care about the stock nook rom it blows, just want the strongest and fastest android rom possible that doesnt run off SD. no problem with installing it off sd if possible, just dont want it to stay there. i installed "signed cwm oc dual w/oc kernal & wifi fix, it boots to b&n no prob, but cant boot cm7. held down both volume while powering and it says booting other but just goes to CWM. Thanks in advance for any help. Id prefer stand alone cm7.
I recently found my old OpV from when I was on virgin. The phone is still in good condition, turns on, I even have an extended battery for it. I want to sell it cuz I could use the extra money right now.
Thing is..
It's running a version of IHO that I flashed back a while ago.
I don't know what happened to the micro sd card I had in it.
I need to know how, if possible, to get the phone running the stock software again, using an sd card other than the one I had in there when I flashed the rom.
I currently have an htc sensation, so I can back up the files off it's card, erase the card and use it to work on the OpV.
Thing is i'm pretty rusty when it comes to this so if someone could link me, or tell me the steps to getting this thing stock again I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks.

Dang! You ARE rusty! So much so that you forgot to SEARCH in the Optimus V Android Development section! You would have found this in the first post of the first sticky thread!
Contains link to stock ROM and recovery along with instructions to flash them near the end of the post.
Hi,
I saw the below guide for dual boot on Atrix4G.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645664
I followed the procedure on Atrix2 and failed.
The partitions are named/mounted differently in init.rc
Can someone port this and make dual boot possible on Atrix2?
Thanks,
Kmosh.
And while your at it an easily installable cm9 and unlocked bootloader would be great. In fact, I'm gonna need you to come in on Saturday. OK? Great.
LoL

That was done almost 6 moths ago, and it is in the dev section, it was called safestrap, do a search. It was abandoned due to many issues, so it was deemed a only valid for testing ROMs.
Otherwise no other way to dual boot an Atrix2, and we can't port that particular process.
Is there a reason you want to dual boot something? Really dual booting is only a good thing for a developer testing a ROM they are working on. Everyday use of dual booting a phone, does not help usability at all, actually makes it more of a pain, that was another reason we abandoned safestrap over here.

Pain in the ass is being generous and really isn't worth the b.s.
the days i was walking along the internet to get some informations about lapdock/webtop again
like often it kicked me back to the roots -> XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588623
there is a patch to make space for a second system
iam sure thats a way we can install webtop on our phone.
but i not wanne try it first ;] cant buy me a new phone if something goes wrong
and it need to be modifyed first
what do you think? its the right way?
I think due to the fact that Photon Q uses Qualcomm architecture instead of TI's, maybe it doesn't even support BMM. At least I've only seen BMM running on TI OMAP-powered devices so far.

I would love to see a boot Manager on our phone.
That would give me more freedom to test different ROMs.
But theoretically we need to be able to change/add/remove partitions for this.
Afaik this is not possible, so there probably won't be any boot manager.
