[KERNEL] Dual Boot 1.3 - 22/09/2011

Android's First multi version, fully working Dual Boot​
Dual boot is running 2 ROMs on phone. You can run Froyo and Gingerbread and switch between ROMs by restarting phone. All ROMS are supported in dual boot including froyo, cm7 and cm 6.2.
*** Flash 800Mhz first. I will upload 1020 and 1300Mhz versions later.
*** Partiting sdcard in cwm does not wipe data in sdcard.
*** Consider worst case and backup important sdcard data.
*** You can have your existing rom on phone as ROM1 if it is rfs, ext2 or ext4.
*** Dual boot enables data2sd for both roms.
*** ROM1 boots by default and to boot ROM2 press Home Button.
*** Press the ROM selection button between 5-20 seconds after turning on phone.
*** Here is the partitions used in dual boot.
Internal /system - ROM1 system
Internal /data - ROM2 system
sdcard ext1 - ROM1 data
sdcard ext2 - ROM2 data
sdcard swap - swap for both ROMS

Help! Stuck in Boot Loop!

I tried to flash DlevROM INFUSE EDITION from ClockWorkMod and I get stuck in a boot loop.
I've downloaded a return to stock rom, transferred the zip to external sd but I can't seem to locate it on the "install zip from sdcard" screen.
What am I doing wrong? My phone is totally out of commission until I flash a new rom.
I've literally clicked on every folder in "install zip from sdcard" trying to figure out where the rom is.
When I click on "external_sd" it doesn't find any files. Am I looking in the wrong place?
Please help!!! My phone is totally out of commission! Thanks.

You have to wipe all of your data after flashing a new ROM. This is the most common cause of boot loops.
Also make sure you are useing the correct clock work mod version (infuse version). Useing a version made for another phone causes partition and file location mix ups.There is a 100% working one for the infuse somewhere on this fourm. I just can't find the link because I'm on mobile.

Thanks for the quick reply - however, since I'm in a boot loop, is it even possible to change the clockwork mod version?
Also, now when I go to "choose zip from sdcard" it says "no app2sd partition found." I can't click on it at all now.

It shows both as unmounted (sdcard and sd-ext) and it won't allow me to mount either. Here's the message when I try to mount sdcard.
can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block//mmcblk0) (invalid argument) Error mounting SDCARD:!

Sorry - just woke up.
Quick question - where is the file marked "recovery"? I only see in that download Odin and the three files that use with with Odin. Did you want me to follow his instructions first with Odin and then yours? Thanks.

Are you on the correct CWM version? It seems like the partition tables inside of CWM are messed up.
Also consider the ultimate unbrick software it's a one click thing that will send you back to stock.

Yes it is you just need to go into fastboot mode (volume up + power) and flash recovery from your computer again.

[Q] [P780] ROM and CWMs?

Hi all!
I just bought my P780 from china retailer. Turns out the stock ROM doesn't support GSM lower than 2100 MHz. I've rooted my phone, so I'd like to know is the any CWM 6 recovery and how to flash it to the phone?
And is there any link to download another country's ROM so I can use my SIM?
Thanks and best regards.

CWM means clockworkmod recovery.
it does not need to be flashed
to get it,
1)get cwm zip file for your device.(use google)
2)then put that file in root directory of your sdcard
3) boot your phone in recovery mode and select cwm zip file.
then it would start cwm recovery
---------- Post added at 05:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------
i think there is no rom for making your sim card usable
please hit THANKS....

I managed to install CWM English using MobileUncle. Is there any ROM I can install via CWM, because the ones n needrom seems to be very difficult.

yes there are many roms available

can u tell me how to use the flashtool from the beginning since it is my first time

it is recommended to take a nandroid backup before this flashing
ok if you need to flash rom from cwm than follow steps :
1) boot in recovery mode
2) wipe data
3) select apply update from sdcard and then select CWM file.
4) after CWM opens select your rom zip file
5) now flashing of new rom will start.
6) wipe data/factory reset in recovery mode only.
7) now reboot your phone.....
rom file is a zip file which can be obtained by searching on google.
***download rom file which is only applicable for your phone*
othervise your phone will brick***

You need to do much for flashing a custom rom..
You need to do a full wipe before flashing a rom not just data.
and you don't need to wipe data/factory reset since flashing a Custom rom will automatically wipe all data.
Also on some phones mostly HTC phones you need to Flash Boot.img manually when S-ON.

oh ok......

Flashing kernel

can i flash custom kernel??? if yes , how to flash thunderzap kernel???

Firstly you have to have unlocked bootloader via flashtool (here's how to do it)
http://www.modaco.com/topic/364335-...sh-tool-unlockingrelockingflashing-stock-rom/
Then download Thunderzap zip file so put it into internal storage. From that zip extract .img file which you need (kk - kitkat, jb - jelly bean) and type of recovery - TWRP or CWM. That file flash via fastboot mode in flashtool. Then boot into recovery and install that zip which you have in internal storage.. follow instalation progress instructions. That's all.
If youre complete beginner and absolutely don't know what to do do not flash custom kernel you can damage your phone.

zip file is included in it.I should extract it???

First copy that zip file copy to internal storage in phone. Then flash the kernel as @Joery360 said. Then boot into CWM and install that zip. You have to install it because of wifi modules. Without this install you wouldn't have working wifi.
