Good day! I am attempting a Remix OS on SD card dual boot for my Miix tablet. I have the 32G version w/ windows10 installed on it. For obvious reasons, I cannot install Remix OS on the internal flash, but I really want to play with this. The Lenovo appears completely unable to boot from the SD card unless it contains WINPE files, and it does not support legacy bios. The only configurable options are secureboot (on/off) and USB debug (on/off).
I heard people have had luck with GRUB type bootloaders, but much of the info on it is not applicable or not updated to deal with uSD cards/Windows10 UEFI. Grub2 appears promising, but I have to be honest in saying there is little info on the subject, and the only places I have been able to find it is incorporated in an Ubuntu install which I am not interested in. I am assuming I'd need to create a partition with a "which partition do you wanna boot from." This seems very basic, but is at this time out of my skill level.
Does anybody know if booting to the SD card on this is possible? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello everyone!!! (1st post here, though I sometimes read around)...
I lost my flash disk in my Navman S50 (actually, I messed it up myself: low level formatted it and didn't repartition before restarting S50).
My S50 starts with the little WinCE 5.0 core it has. I can have access to the SD card within my PC (via USB) and within WinCE (via FilemanCE or TotalCommander), but I don't have access to the Flash disk..
How can I recover that (if anyhow)?
No one can help?
I guess nobody can help this time
I guess you can try to do a rom update if you know how..
best of luck with that!
So I bought this nook for my partner and now it won't boot. I like to think I'm comfortable with all android and every aspect of it but I'm likely not. the nookcolor-emmc-repair-partitions threads (both) don't work. So apparently he's erased partition 3. Thats about everything I know. Can anyone direct me anywhere or give me the most basic detailed instructions on how to do adb?
right now I can access twrp 2.1.8 from a bootable sd card and it'll run any rom thats put on the sd card we just want it to operate the way its supposed to
RCA tab 2 can open to restore but cant access the sd card ,
Android kitkat 4.4
Hi,
I can't find any helpful info on this. You should be able to do what you are suggesting, but you need a proper flashable file. And usually that would be a custom ROM. And you'd likely need a custom recovery as well.
As far as accessing the card, you should have an option in your recovery to "mount" and may need to mount the SD card.
Again, I can't find much about this anywhere, so I'm just tossing out ideas. You can register on the site and create a thread here to see if you can find further help, http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help
Or contact RCA support.
Good luck! :good:
Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm new to this and wrestling with the learning curve but I have spent time doing searches and trying to find an answer myself before asking for assistance.
I have managed to unlock my bootloader and, as I understand it, I should now find a custom recovery for my device before I try to root it. I have searched and searched but I have not been able to find a custom recovery which is definitely for my Android and I don't want to brick the thing. Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?
Beyond that, any advice on the best rooting options would be greatly appreciated.
I'm running Android 6 on an Acer Iconia One 7 B1-780 (MTK8163).
It seems like nobody is working on this tablet... so sad because its got a great screen and is very responsive, I have also looked for a custom ROM or the right way to root it since it comes with so little space but to no avail. If you´ve found something let me know please.

If you're worried about the lack of space (as I was), you may use an SD card as internal storage. I did that, and at first, I thought all was well. However, it wasn't very long until I started getting the insufficient space message when installing apps. What I forgot to do, was MIGRATE the data from the internal space to the SD Card when I was asked if I wanted to use the inserted SD card as adoptive storage. If you skipped that step as I foolishly did, you may change it manually in the storage settings. Simply use the three-dot menu (top right) when looking at the SD card storage menu. Select 'Migrate Data' and it will push app data to the card opening up lots of internal space.
I now have over 10 gigs of apps installed to my 32 gig micro SD Card with 1.5 gigs used of the 3 (!) available in the included internal space.
Some apps still continue to install to the internal space. Simply move the app to the card manually (again in the storage settings). However, some apps CANNOT be moved to the card. Thankfully, in my use, these apps seem to be rare.
All the best!
Please I Need to Root and install Custom Recovery for Acer Iconia one 7 B1-780

I need to boot android off a external SD card.is this possible if so can you pleae guide through it
I realize your post was from nearly a year ago but I currently have the need to be able to boot an old device from external SD as the internal is irreparably corrupted or for whatever reason is not usable or fixable. I have tried every method I know of to fix the internal storage with no success including flashing pit files and the correct samsung firmware. Fortunately I can boot into recovery and fastboot mode so I still have options(hopefully.)
In any case I have found 2 (very old) threads with potential solutions to this issue . I find it somewhat surprising there is not more development on this as a great many have found ourselves needing to do this. Even though booting from ext SD is not ideal it would at least keep someone operable that didn't have a fallback device until they can obtain a new device.
There is one thread where the OP managed to use adb shell and/or unix to format the external SD for an ASUS tablet(TF701t.) I am not sure if others successfully used his method on other devices. Regardless it is an enlightening thread and led me to the 2nd one below about a using custom TWRP that enables dual boot between internal and external SD. I am going to try method 2 in just a few minutes on an old Galaxy Note 4 (N910C) that died on me recently. I'm going to have to copy the nandroid backups that are on the extSD to a computer and then figure out how to get TWRP to use one of them to restore to the same media where they reside. Hopefully a closer reading of the 2 threads will reveal the answer.

I do it with a GPD XD RK3288 and GPD G5 RK3188 since over two years.
Works perfectly fine.
