[Q] How can I boot multiple roms?

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?

Oh sorry, I hadn't noticed your post :S and no I haven't formatted it so I will do so now. Cheers... kinda.

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.

I guess that's the point, miui and cm can use the same kernel.

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. (=

Virtuous v.05

Hi guys can someone give me step by step on how to put the Virtuous v.05 on my phone because I dont want to mess up my phone it took me 4 attempts to get leedroid on my phone also if I do mess up installing kernal will I brick my phone ? And can someone please provide Me with a download link for the latest version thanks

Im running virtuous 0.6x and I Just flashed The boot.img via fastboot method, then cleared dalvik cache and other cache..

I dont think you will brick the phone. I think you will go into bootloop but if you follow how i did on my phone you will succes
Try this method:
1)Turn Off your phone
2)boot into bootloader (power button + down vol button)
3)choose fastboot
4)connect the phone with the usb cable to the pc
5)Via fastboot type "fastboot flash boot name_of_boot.img" (without "")
6)Via fastboot type "fastboot erase cache"
7)Now reboot into recovery
8)With CWM recovery or TWRP recovery Flash the modules and the script .rar files for your kernel (you can find them HERE which are needed for wifi to work and battery life
9)reboot your phone
10)enjoy your new kernel
If i didn't eplained well feel free to ask, i can post photo to you on how to do it

Dont forget the additional Modules ;-)
Theres 1 Module you have to flash with both Kernels ( the "normal" one and the Extreme Edition ) and another one which is just for one of those.

I disagree!
There seems to be a problem with the Virtuous kernel [I was using V06] when you are in Airplane mode.
In this mode, my phone was losing 23% per hour!
I have ditched Virtuous kernel completely and nandroided back to stock.

My battery is ok and speeds are so much faster anyway I have to charge my phone twice a day anyway but I'm on it all the time

[Q] Sense based ROM's won't work on my HOXL

Hi every one ! since I rooted my hoxl I have only flashed aosp ROMS not sense based roms , so yesterday I decided to flash one (Hakataxl) when the phone booted up I cooldn't pass from the lock screen when I tried to slide the ring , boom reboot I even flashed the ROM twice !
and flashed another rom (VIPER) the same thing happend please help me

Also did you do a full wipe in twrp? Factory reset, system, cache, dalvik cache?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I'm on 1.09 hboot and after I switched From liquidsmooth Rom to viper, viper wouldn't boot. I actually has to flash kernel separately. And instead of the viper boot screen liquid smooth screen kept popping up. The Rom would boot but crash and reboot once I tried to do anything with the phone.. so maybe try flashing a sense kernel after Rom install regardless of your hboot. Also make sure you wipe everything venomtester said

Is your screen not working at all? Are your volume buttons still active at the welcome screen?
If this is the case it sounds like you need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware. This can be done here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159863

2.4.1.0 by the way what does the "system" in Wipe menu deletes?

Sent from my One X using Tapatalk 2

"System reboots on Sense" is almost always "out of date firmware".
You need to flash a firmware.zip for Jellybean ROM's.
There is one floating about in the ViperXL thread that contains a few things you need and avoids things like hboot 2.14 etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1868236
"WiFi Partition Updates".
The other way to do it is to get a first round 3.17/3.18 ota and flash the firmware.zip in RUU mode.
I say first round as many carriers are now onto their second 3.17 and they are not complete firmware.zip and lack many of the firmware files.
The first round ones are all complete.

Well tell me your tweaks or kernel or whatever you use cause I get 7-10 hours normally

No tweaks. I just use greenify to nullify any wake locks and disable any radios I'm not using.
I get about 16 hours checking texts, listening to tunein radio to and from work.
Web surfing. About 3-4 hours screen on.

I just use on demand. Though I have used smartass v2 and Wheatley in the past which also yielded good results.
I only use the Jacob kernel for swipe to wake, otherwise I would probably use stock.

if battery low and cant flash use this =)

ok guys first sry for the bad english i try my best
if you have a broken android system on your device and cant flash a recovery/rom because your battery is to low...... use this here
1. download laden.rar
2. extract the file laden.bat
3. copy the file laden.bat in your fastboot folder ( e.g c:\Android\) and you need the newest sdk-tool
4. boot your phone in bootloader and take fastboot usb ( power+vol-)
5. double click on laden.bat
6. now you battery will be load
7. maybe you must wait few hours you need ~3900mV for flash recovery
you need a unlocked bootloader

What is this?

I usually just charge up if I'm low before or during a flash

Not to mention most people should be using twrp anyways.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

It doesn't trick anything so much as essentially give you a sort of... running meter? of how much charge you have, then resets it to gain a bit more trickle. Seems like a stupidly slow way to get trickle charge, but if for some reason you've decided to use a recovery or similar that won't let you charge while its running, then this should net you a very slow charge. As mentioned though by pretty much everyone, TWRP renders this as unnecessary, as it can charge while doing whatever in recovery.

[Q] P920: Pacman rom very slow

How can I find the reason for this?

As now two roms are slow on my mobile, and I have not heard complaints elsewhere, I think, I might be doing something wrong.
