My stock rom is not booting anymore. just black screen for more than 1 minute...
Installing multirom through the app
Hi guys, I've used the whole morning to read through all 100+ pages today. Now i'm back home and i'm ready to install this. But then I found out on the OP that it states that "You can install it either from MultiROM Manager app or from this guide".
Now im wondering if it means that i could just install the app through google play and its done? So i do not need to go through flashing it through recovery, modify recovery? just patching the kernel?
EDIT: i think i actually did it successfully already. Thanks for the great work 1
My personal cm11 builds, using no modifications won't boot using multi boot. Do I need to include something extra?
You need to use a patched kernels like ak kernels

Even if it's secondary rom?
The internal ROM needs the patched kernel.. The secondary ROM don't need. But not all the ROMs works with multirom..I use cm11s38r with ak patched kernel(make sure you get the right kernel) for the internal. Secondary I use mahdi and liquids works fine both stock kernel...

Guys if I install multirom. Will I be able to have whatsapp in every rom? Or I should verify always the number?

As Whatsapp verifies your device (and rom) you'll have to verify your number every time you boot into another rom!
WhatsApp won't synchronise all your messages. (I'm pretty sure, the ones you wrote won't show up)
Edit:
Die anyone managed to install Dirty Unicorns as a secondary rom? Mine doesn't boot :/
Ok so i've run into some alarming problem (by alarming i mean that i haven't found i solution and that i can't boot)
So after I rooted my phone (TWRP installed) i decided to install multirom, i folowed the procedure. Custom TWRP is installed and running, the boot menu is working perfectly, and i havce the custom kernel, only problem is, i haven't any secondary rom installed, and i can't boot to primary (black screen for 2-3 minute then reload multirom boot menu)
Does any one have any idea of what i can do to try to fix this ?
ETA: I managed to boot to main rom again by flashing CM11s from the OPO toolbox, device ended up not rotted and iv'e got Cyanorecovery (default one) and default kernel.
After some test i'm sure the kernel is the source of the problem, i can easly get the recovery but everytime i try to install the kernel the phone won't boot or bootloop.
So essentially the kernel downloaded from the app doesn't seem to cooperate

Multirom work fine with Lolipop
I just flash Lolipop on my opo and it work fine, but if i flash it in secondary it cannot work.. So first I flash it as secondary, after complete of flashing I swap the internal ROM with the L ROM.. After L ROM become internal ROM I wipe it again then I flash all the file again.. Then it work fine, even I change the L ROM to secondary it work fine.. but my primary ROM cannot boot.. So for my primary ROM I will reset it back and flash the ROM back to see how it goes then..
cyanogen don't boot anymore
hello, thanks for the awesome work, i'm having an issue with cm (on my oneplus one) the other roms boot and works fine; but cm stay stuck on a black screen (i made cm updates :s) i already tried to flash kernel again but i doesn't work; an idea to fix this ?
Multirom and L
Having some difficulty getting Multirom to run an L ROM. When I install an L ROM as secondary and try to Boot, I get a bootloop. Then when I try to boot any of my other secondaries, they get stuck on the boot image after trying to boot L. I have to reflash the existing secondaries to get them to work. The Primary is never affected, it boots fine. I am running CM11s as primary with the AK.010.OPO.CM12 kernel. I have updated TWRP to the 20141116 version. The L version is bpear96's 11/16. Any help would be appreciated!
Yellowish screen
Hi, I just installed multirom on stock rooted rom and after reboot my screen became yellowish. I think it's a patched kernel problem. Anyone has got a solution?
Is it possible to have mahdi as primary rom and cm11s as secondary, and vice versa?

Hello, I have cm11s 44s with stock kernel. If i want cm12 as secondary I have to flash cm12 kernel in multirom app?

I'm having same problem.. Also same problem for bam ROM
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app
managed to get out of the CM11 bootloop after applied Fix Permissions (or something similar) in TW's Custom Recovery.
Seems that only TW recovery can fix this through a permissions fix.
Got the same problem last night and the only thing to do to get it works was to re-flash the stock firmware, flash the recovery and reinstall the CM build. Latest build seems to be pretty good.
Simply wiping the cache before and after flash worked for me.

Not for me, sadly.
I've also tried to re-flash the rom through the recovery but the only fix that worked for me was to flash the stock firmware and then install the CM via recovery.
Same here, had difficulties getting Cyanogen to boot.
What I did is :
- roll back to stock 4.3 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2546251 (yes, you can roll back, read the end of the post)
- allow OTA update to 4.4.2
- install CWM
- in CWM : format /system, /data and /cache, install cyanogen from ZIP, wipe dalvik cache
Mysteriously it worked like a charm after many unsuccessful tries and a softbrick ^^
Btw, no need to root the stock ROM to install CWM or a custom ROM, just skip this step
Do you have the XT1032 version?

I´m tired of the mess made it because of the three different Moto G versions, i'm waiting for official Recovery from CWM, maybe 3 months it's to early but I wanna try this method. (I hope to don´t hardbrick haha)
I was having the same problem with every rom i tried. After going back complete stock with Alonsoch's tool in the original Dev thread, I was then able to get past the boot on any rom

(Dont want to downgread).. Any solution?

I Rooted my XT-1033. And having CWM recovery. Now I'm installing custom ROM EHNDROIX V.
I followed all steps. After Installation it stuck at it's boot animation.
I moved back to Stock ROM. Ant solution for this situation.
Flash single sim rom first.. And try to flash the custom rom.. Many custom roms won't work on dual sim version.. And read the instruction carefully

I learned (through trial and error) that is (at least for the CM 11) impossible on the Moto G to flash the custom ROM from Kitkat. I first had to revert it back to the stock rom without the Kitkat upgrade before applying the CM 11 custom ROM. Otherwise it would also get stuck at boot animation.

common problem.. /data and /data/media needs to be reformatted in order to boot custom rom. but that pose even more difficult situation where the zip file needs to be pushed via adb.
downgrading and installing custom seems to work easily.

Yeah there are very few ROMs fro dual sim variant. And followed each and every step while flashig this ROM. Like wiping Data/Cache/Dalvik. Still problem persist.

Thank you for response. Can you please tell me in details what do you mean by wiping /data and /media. Generally cwm backup is stored there afaik. And downgrading what ?
now wait just a second i own the single sim version x1032 and got it retail with 4.4.2 out of the box, rooted and booloader unlocked. so far ive tried both lego rom (x1032 single sim version supported and another single sim rom supported rom) they both get stuck on bootanimation. Whats my solution? i, no noob and ive had to restore my stock firmware each time after waiting 15 mins each.
btw im installing from a usb flash drive with a micro usb connector directly plugged to phone. dont think its the issue cause it backs up and restores stock rom just fine.
Hi All
I succesfully upgraded my firmware and am running the newest Viper and it works great. After reading about multi-rom I got super excited as there was a program I used with a pervious androud (htc phne even i think) to switch between MIUI and a few other ROMS.
Anyways.. I get the "non-exec kernel error" inside of ROM manager as well as TWRP under multiROM ( i think when I attempt to flash another rom in a diff slot).
I've tried installing a few of the kernels through the multirom app and it always seems sucessful as well as just downloading the kernels and flash in TWRP without error.
Does anyone have any suggestions or any extra info I can provide to get this to work? I'd LOVE multiROM so I can try new things and keep my daily driver.
Thanks in advance friends
I have been playing with this also recently. As far as I can tell only the select few kernels work with multirom. The kernel has to be patched to work with multirom. I'm using lunar kernel(as my primary rom kernel) and everything works fine. You can't use any of the kernels from the international m8 that's on multirom thread. Those are not designed for Verizon m8. I made the mistake of trying to flash those also.
Only the primary ROM needs to be patch with exec. Make sure if your flashing a kernel to a secondary ROM do it in twrp under multi ROM advanced settings and choose the ROM you want to flash the kernel to. The twrp main screen is for your primary rom

I can't get the multirom manager app to "see" the ROM I want to install....Where does one put (ie: folder placement) the zip file you want to install as your secondary?

If you use the Install, Backup or Wipe options when you first get to recovery are your internal (primary) rom.
All secondary roms are located in Multirom/manage roms/
Please help me.

Can you explain me how to do this stuff? I installed a uninstall zip for multirom and did a factory reset and was able to install paranoid android, but i want to go back to the stock cm11s. The rom provided by Cynogenmod gives me a error with invladid meta inf.

First make sure your bootloader and radio are up to date.
Regarding Tassadr's recovery flashable zips, I have one question: what will happen with google OTA updates? Since the recovery is not overwritten, I assume they wouldn't exactly work as usual. Any insight or precautions I should take?
So, these factory image zips don't have a recovery? And won't wipe my data/sdcard correct? So I 'should' be able to dirty flash over the dev preview. Or if not, I will at least still have my custom recovery to restore a nandroid?
So I flashed the lollipop stock rom, threw on super su and francos kernel as secondary rom, but I cannot connect to wifi. Any idea how to fix wifi?
The problem seems to be related to DHCP. I clicked on the advanced option and entered a static IP instead of DHCP and I was able to connect.
Why I can't see multirom boot menu? I press and hold volume up or down but nothing, why?
TWRP Splash
I'm trying to replace the curtain on team win. ive done it before on a different device (no multirom) by unpacking it with (http://www.techknow.me/forum/index.php?topic=6816.0) replacing the curtain.jpg with my custom one, repacking with the same program, and then flashing through flashify. (twrp manager didnt work. no idea why. and the phone couldnt fastboot flash so i couldnt test that, but flashify worked and it replaced the curtain perfectly). my nexus 5 w/ multirom recovery doesnt work though. unpack works. changing curtain works. repack works. but no method of flashing it works. no matter how i flash it, i dont seem to have a recovery. (booting to recovery sticks me at the google screen with the padlock) does anyone have success replacing the curtain or have any clue what im doing wrong? or if its possible?

I followed this guide and everything worked the first try. I've repacked quite a few now with no problems.

Bonus: you can flash recovery with the Material twrp theme.
I couldnt get android kitchen working this way. Idk what i did wrong but it wasnt unpacking the file at all. So i found a work around with the program i linked to. You just unpacked, replaced, repacked, and flashed the multirom recovery and it worked?

Yep works no problem. I was able to use that method on Linux Mint and right on my Nexus 5.
Last question, Did u do it on a windows machine as well? I know Kitchen is a lot easier to install/works better on linux.

I had stock 5.0 and installed MultiROM via fastboot. And after that I tested out xTraSmooth 3.1 on the secondary ROM so I pretty much liked it so I said **** it, why not make it the primary. So I formatted the device completely secondary and primary and all. And I copied the zip files and flashed them as primary. I also flashed MultiROM v30 as when I went to advanced it said MultiROM wasn't installed or something like that. Anyway, I wanted to test some more ROMs now, I ended up with a bootloop or updater binary error.
So, I said I'll test it on the same ROM I had tested before, which is now my primary one. So I flashed another xTraSmooth as secondary, it flashed without a problem but still I got a boot loop. So, I tried installing the modified TWRP again using fastboot, flashing MultiROM again and flashing the ROM again but still. I got a bootloop. I even flashed a nightly kernel from frnaco after that and still a bootloop. What should be done? Or is this some new problem with MultiROM?

That sounds very strange to me! I'd try a fresh install using the MultiROM Manager Android App. Make sure that the status displayed in the app does NOT say Kernel: doesn't have kexec-hardboot patch! (see Installation section in the first post of the MultiROM thread).

Did you try the newest version of xTraSmooth (3.3)? I had a quite similar situation with AICP for Nexus 7. In fact, at first it never got past the boot animation and then "suddenly", with a newer version, things were fine.
You may also want to try installing another ROM as secondary, just to make sure your current MultiROM installation works as it should.
