[mod][tool]dual boot for zte blade/modify-tool

Hello guys. This my dual booting project for our amazing ZTE BLADE!
What is this?
>This mod works on the basis of two scripts which are to be executed in the terminal emulator or script manager and a modified boot.img to boot the rom from sdcard instead of NAND.
FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY!!!
I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY BRICKED DEVICES, DAMAGED SDCARDS ETC.
DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
It is in alpha stage, so lot of work is still needed to make it more safer and convenient.
I will add this mod for more ROMS like CM10, Paranoidandroid etc.

SCROLL DOWN to 2nd POST FOR THE WHOLE GUIDE...

GUIDE
So here is the full guide:
PARTITIONING SD CARD TO MOUNT /SYSTEM AND /DATA
Take the backup of your sd card data first
Make sure you have partitioned your sdcard before.
Connect your phone to your computer and mount usb storage.
Download the EASEUS partition manager from here.
Open partition manager and delete all partitions of your sdcard.
Right click on the 'unallocated' and click create partition.Don't label it select partition type as primary and filesystem as FAT32 and enter the partition size bot remember this will hold your photos,media etc,you should leave about 600 mb space free click OK.
right click again and create partition as primary and filesystem as EXT3 and size of 250 mb click OK.
Repeat above step again.
Apply all the changes by cliking on apply tap and you have succesfully partitioned your sdcard for dual booting.
​
GUIDE FOR THE TOOL
Extract the downloaded zip file extract to any concinient directory.Here I will explain the guide as a cygwin user.
Extract the zip to directory say c:\
The extracted folder will look like 'Modify-boot".Now open the terminal or cygwin bash and mount the directory by typing
cd c:\modify-boot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now drop your boot.img in the WORKING_313 folder and execute the script by typing
./modify-boot.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It will mod your boot.img for dual booting.Output boot.img will be in the WORKING_313 folder as boot.img.
MODDING THE ROM FOR DUAL BOOTING
Open the ROM.zip.
Get the modded boot.img from the tool and replace with the original one.
Now download the attached updater-script from 1st post and replace the orignal one with this modded one(path to udater-script META-INF/com/google/android).
Zip up the rom.
ADAPTING A ROM TO INSTALL IN THE SD CARD
If you want to mod your own rom other than the posted here,then you have to mod the updater-script in the rom
For that open your rom zip go to /META-INF/com/google/android and open the updater script
Now replace every line looking like following as;
From
mount("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "/system");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TO
run_program("/sbin/mount", "dev/block/mmcblk0p3", "/system");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and this one
From
format("yaffs2", "MTD", "system", "0");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TO
run_program("/sbin/mkfs.ext2", "dev/block/mmcblk0p3");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and add the following line next to the line written above
run_program("/sbin/mkfs.ext2", "dev/block/mmcblk0p2");
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Save the file and zip up the rom.Your rom is ready to install to SD CARD!!!!
FLASHING GUIDE
Remember, before partitioning the sd card you should wipe data and cache in the recovery during NAND rom installation or it will erase the partitions created before.
First flash the rom you want to install in the NAND,do not wipe data or anything do it before partitioning.
Then install the rom without wiping data or anything.
reboot the system. You will be in your sd card rom!!!
Now create folder in the sd card as /sdcard/multiboot.
Take both boot.img from NAND rom and cm9 rom rename the cm9 boot.img to bootsd.img and keep the NAND boot.img as it is.
Copy both imgs to multiboot folder.
Now download attached(or use above link for unregistered users) bootnand.sh and bootsd.sh and place at the root of the sdcard.
Open terminal emulator,type su and execute bootsd.sh to boot into sd card rom or execute bootnand.sh to boot into NAND rom.
THAT'S IT . ENJOY DUAL BOOT ON YOUR ZTE BLADE!!!!

Delete the boot.img from the cm9 rom and put the downloaded one.
Now download the attached updater-script (remove .txt) or from here (for unregistered users)and replace the orignal one with this modded one(path to udater-script META-INF/com/google/android).

I've found that making four partitions and installing /data to mmcblk0p4 and /system to mmcblk0p3 helps with certain roms that have S2E configured.
I'm also trying to get it to boot two mounted loop filesystems instead, i installed SSRLS7 and GB-Gapps as per your instructions in the OP (just changed the partitions for installation and the updater-script and init.rc so that it would work) did a dd of the entire partitions to files on the sdcard and edited the init.rc like this:
Code:
on fs
# mount mtd partitions
chmod 777 /sbin/busybox
symlink /sbin/busybox /sbin/losetup
mount vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard
losetup /dev/block/loop0 /mnt/sdcard/multiboot/snow/system.img
losetup /dev/block/loop1 /mnt/sdcard/multiboot/snow/data.img
mount ext2 /dev/block/loop0 /system
mount ext2 /dev/block/loop1 /data
mount yaffs2 [email protected] /cache nosuid nodev
on post-fs
# ZTE_JCD_CTSCONFIG, 2011.05.03, BEGIN
mkdir /system/lost+found 0770
chmod 0770 /system/lost+found
# ZTE_JCD_CTSCONFIG 2011.05.03, END
# once system is setup, no need to modify /system , ZTE_BOOT_LIWEI_20110331
mount ext2 /dev/block/loop0 /system ro remount
I also copied busybox to /sbin in the ramdisk before letting the process finish and make bootsd.img
It doesn't work though and i have no idea why not. I've mounted the system.img and data.img files on the phone via the terminal to test if the procedure works and it does mount them just fine.
If anyone has any clue why this doesn't work then please tell me.

Actually, it'll work on any phone that runs android and has a working recovery that can be used to install boot.img and system files via an updater script.
It works fine on my Mini and Huawai G300.

The build id is outdated. Do u have a permalink?
Build seems to work. Good job! :good: Could you share with the community how you managed to make it work? Touch inside recovery doesnt work but that can easily be ignored. Testing the recovery further now. Will report back.
Edit: Touch works now. :/

For those who see their stock recovery even after flashing-
Follow instructions and flash the recovery in fastboot(till step 10.) hold down the power button till it switches off, now boot to recovery by power button + volume down button and you can access CWM.
Upon exit CWM will provide a fix regarding the phone reverting back to stock recovery, accept and reboot now CWM will stick!

Alternate method
You can also Flash CWM through https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.recoverytools
Just place the recovery.img in the internal memory.
Open the Recovery Tools - Flasher app
Flash the recovery .
Choose Reboot to recovery.

Guys its high time we see a forum for xolo play!
Threads are all over the place! development would pick up the pace if we had a forum.
Head over to the forum request thread and upvote my request!

Well, I managed to fix this myself! it seems my sdacrd (8 gb transcend) somehow got corrupted. And everytime I tried to open CWM, It was not detected. So I managed to format it on my digicam. Funnily its now showing 4gb total space. Next I tried opening the CWM and this time it worked! backup went smooth, even flashed custom rom.
This is kinda strange that only half of my sdcard is accessible .Somehow the blocks got corrupted !anyway, at least its working!

Can we install this recovery using mobile uncle tool ?
your help will be really appericuated

have you flashed the same gapps given above. if yes then you should update youtube to latest version cuz i didn't face any issues like that. and i think supersu is already installed in it and u need to update it from play store nd if it is not installed then dload and flash the zip file.

Here is my review, after flashing my A706:
1. No luck wih Contact app, cannot link it up with my google contact although already sign in to my google account via app or setting. So i got my contact list blank.
2. Bttery drained so fast, 100% to 60% in ONE hour without any heavy activities.
3. Struggling with root. re-root via Phillz recovery works.
4. Dont know why I have to intially sign in to each and every google app separately? This is odd.(not to mention point no. 1)
5. All google apps are updated to the latest version, but I always bugged by google play service error prompt every few seconds.
6. keyboard didnt works. Freeze the default then download other from google play works.
7. MAC address changed after flashing, re-register the new one to your shared wireless network.
8. Is there option to swap main storage like jelly bean? I couldnt find one in this marshmallow.
Always love the cyanogen works since my old custom gingerbread on my old stock froyo device. Would be great if the devs are continue their work to make this rom stable.

Hey Dude Kogam22 , I tried to do what you instructed about how to data partition the internal memory and ended up damaging my internal storage. Is there a possible way to Undo it? It came from 900mb+ Internal storage to 148mb. then afterwards tried reverting back to the Stock rom and shows 28mb. Please .

Without a backup it's hard to restore your efs/imei.
Have s look at this guide:
[GUIDE] Recover phone from a formated /efs partition
I'm just writting this because i've recently had this problem. I managed to sort it out by my own but didn't really find it written anywhere, just bits and pieces scavenged from so many pages that might point to a solution (granted, part of my...
forum.xda-developers.com

If you use Repartition Tool then revert it back to its original (pls find its thread) before flashing its stock firmware (you may use other country firmware). I restore my own when flashing stock rom from samfirm (pls. flash updated firmwares using odin).

After 4Months of no mobile data I Successfully legit Restore my EFS Files/SerialNumber/Baseband.
So Here's the step it's very very simple
1). Download Custom ROM name Arrow OS.
Link https://sourceforge.net/projects/ar...x/GSI/27_Jan_2020/system_arm64_a.zip/download
2). Download Project Treblue.
Link https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/treble-arm64-vendor-project-treblue-for-g610x.4098877/
3). Download CreateVendor.zip.
Link https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1aX0WBy9juWZpIlFWTw9L6P_PR46JCj0H?usp=sharing
4). Download UniversalRepatitioner
Link https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...epartition-script-for-vendor-support.4143541/
After you download all the files above follow this steps
1). Reboot to Recovery
2). Flash CreateVendor_2.0.zip
3). Wipe All Include/Exclude Vendor and Internal Storage
Note before step 4 : Flash Universal Repartitioner if System Partition is less than 4GB see recovery log for the size
Edit: BTW wipe all partition as universalrepartitioner sad in the log.
4). Flash Arrow OS 10 that you've downloaded earlier after flashing Rom
5). Flash Project Treblue
Optional: Resize System Partition in Wipe>AdvanceWipe>RepairOrChangeFS
6). Reboot
Edit: I'm the one who created this thread but different account!
And As I promised I reply to this if I fix or restore the problem.
