[WIP] [Discussion] Multirom - Xiaomi Redmi 2 Guides, News, & Discussion

I have started looking into this recently and is WIP yet.
What works:-
1. MROM recovery, we can use as regular recovery as well, no issues
2. We can install secondary ROMs and store them in internal/external memory
3. Swapping Primary ROM with any of the installed secondary ROM
What doesn't work:-
1. Auto-boot dialogue during boot, i guess this is not working in MM roms, seems source bug. But we can live without it.
2. The big thing, booting into secondary ROMs.
What we need the most is the working kexec hard boot patch, working on this one still. I need help from kernel developers too to look at the patch and see that we can have a working patch.
The kernel patch commits are:
https://github.com/premaca/android_...mmit/8da6b7c9ef5abc67543ae26079a9ae5bd46baa3a
https://github.com/premaca/android_...mmit/fab89b4609ab42960854588b03066615db831d47
Downloads: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=57465
Installation:
- install multirom zip through recovery
- install recovery.img through fastboot
- to get rid of multirom, install uninstaller zip through recovery
- install regular twrp recovery through fast boot, if you prefer it.

Wow

Okay. Here is the latest status on this -
1. Auto-boot dialogue appears now, but immediately gets cancelled and started booting into Primary ROM. Alternative is, to chose option 'long-press-vol-up' while rebooting gives you mrom menu, this works fine. The regular option, i will try fixing this anyway
2. The big thing, kexec.. It is really buttfire to make this work, but i made some progress. Now, if I select reboot to Secondary, it goes to Mi-Logo and stuck (multirom code detected some kind of race-condition, i need to look into and solve this). But then, a long-press-power-button reboots the device, and indeed into the secondary ROM. So the kexec patch seems to start working and may require little refinement;
So i need to solve few glitches here and there, and probably we may have a working mrom in future.

Awesome wrk sir btw u can get help from @TheStrix he had compiled multi rom recovery AFAIK he may help u wish u a gud luck sir

Hopefully I have crossed all those levels, now i m into fully device specific stuff which i alone have to do, or some one having our device and expertise in kernel code. Anyway, i may be few hurdles behind to get this fully working. Lets see;

BTW sir im waiting for the com.android phone fc on boot to be fixed soon did u find any fix for it?

Ha ha.. wrong thread, Ya. I never get time for that, But will fix it eventually. The msim commit in telephony has caused this, i need to figure out way to fix that. Probably have to maintain the fix locally :crying: apparently as other devices (gzr) are not having this issue.

Mistreak7 [miui][cm9]

For the few who wanted MIUI ported to the streak, you may get it soon
MIUI FOR THE STREAK7 IS NEAR OPERATIONAL STANDARDS
STOCK PARTITIONS REQUIRED!
WILL NOT WORK WHEN COMING FROM HS-R1 THROUGH HS-R6 OR ICS-B1 THROUGH B4 FROM GIVEEN
​
This is still a work in progress (that means not everything works, there will be bugs)
:victory:WE HAVE BOOT!:victory: however its followed by many more of them if you lock the device
landscape lock screen and portrait general use... for now
​
3G AND 4G HAVE NOT BEEN TESTED HOWEVER CODE IS IN PLACE FOR THEM
NO CAMERA BECAUSE ITS MORE SH!T TO WORRY ABOUT
TWRP2 or CWM 6.0.1 required ​
as always if you flash it and its now FUBAR its your fault
There is a possibility you will f*** up, if you do the responsibility for repairing it is yours (why would I fix your mistakes)
Bug report is to be user fed. If you have hardware faults or have something not work that you think should work (apart from the camera) then submit a logcat
Thanks to DJ_steve and Giveen for ICS B4, TheManii for porting ICS B4 to stock partitions, a bunch of crazy guys who made MIUI possible and Linus Torvalds for linux kernel​
Download links will probably be up in the next 72hours
English only as XDA is in english only
If flashing through CWM doesn't work then push the files across with adb/fastboot then reboot
complaint report:
1. No GApps: you have to flash them post install. the end.
2. wouldnt it be easier if?: no, this is my way of doing it, be thankful you got this rather than being negative about the way I work
3. camera: decided you can live without it (however I may change my mind at a later date)
4. wifi: untested (though it should work)
5. possible lock ups every 20-30min: its a beta, don't expect it to be perfect
6. 3g/4g: untested
7. bluetooth: untested (though it should work)
8. when will the next rom be ready: see my signature
9. why doesnt the rom boot properly when I have CWM6.0.1.x?: because you probably came from HS-r6, have one of the failed build that I accidentally uploaded or havent cleared your caches
10. whats with the intermittent reboots?: I'm not a f***ing miracle worker here guys, I just do this in my spare time when I have had enough to drink to care about the wants of other people
Now this will be interesting!

What's the point in waiting for something you should get the thanks for
looking forward to it!
as are many other people, if there is anything you want included in it then its up to you guys to inform me (gApps will be removed, as always- if I include them then they are there, dont judge me)

CWM 6.0.1.x would be worth a try and try wiping dalvik cache and perform a fac reset if it doesnt boot preoperly

I dont't know if this helps but in the thread for the patcher app it was mentioned that if you needed to dual boot with a TW based rom it would need to be the primary in order for it to work properly otherwise the mods would need to be patched before flashing.

I swt tw as primary patched cm12 and gapps. But recovery was freezing so i tried to manually paych the file as stated. But than when i got to flash vie recovery it says fail. I have no idea what to do since i did exactly as it said.
My guess would be try asking in the dual boot thread. Others have gotten it to work.

I managed to get it to flash but....
after i manually patch the gapps and rom, i flash the two files successfully and then i reboot into my secondary rom. I set the kernel then i set up my rom up with the apps i use. I went into the dual boot patcher app and tried to dual boot to my primary rom, it says "please wait"...then it says successfully switched ROM..but it never switches back to my primary rom. Any ideas?

Just got it working, after so much trouble. Tmobile Note4 running TW Rapture as primary and CMRemix as secondary. Still no luck with the second step of patching, but manual patch has worked. This one is a better written guide, I suppose.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to get into trying to dual boot my phone... both my desktop and laptop have ridiculous multi-boot schemes :laugh:
The main reason I haven't yet delved into this is a fairly simple question that I haven't been able to find the answer to: How much free storage space is required / will be used by installing an additional ROM and on which partition(s)?
I'd really appreciate if anyone who has this working could fill me in on that info
BTW another great thread with instructions, etc. is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/dual-boot-n910f-snap-dragon-variant-t3065211

AOSP roms has very small footprint, that's why they are insanely fast... The roms itself with gapps only takes about a gigabyte, if it's CM or other aosp roms. If you dual boot 2 TW roms, of course it's gonna take huge space. It also depends on how many apps you are going to install on the second rom

A PhilZ Touch recovery for the Galaxy S5 Plus (G901F) Lollipop

Starting with a nice script by @Phil3759, I compiled a PhilZ Touch recovery for the Galaxy S5 Plus as this phone, by now, is widely spread over Europe. I took also some parts of the cwm from @Chenglu (Xiaolu). I didn't test all functionnalities, but, normally, this shouln't be very different from what is existing for Lollipop. A file is attached. Use ODIN or dd.
All credits are for these two guys, specially for @Phil3759 and many thanks to them.
Enjoy !
NEW VERSION V2.3 : [Chttp://cdn1.xda-developers.com/images/2015/editor/color.pngOLOR="Lime"] extSdCard [/COLOR](mount/unmount, save/restore...) WORKING !
adb (under Ubuntu or equivalent. For Windows, use Koush's UniversalAdbDriver) WORKING !
exfat (mount, umount,format) WORKING [/COLOR]
Flashing this recovery will trip the knox counter (knox=0x1) !
Please look at a new release including F2FS and NTFS supports - it is version 2.3 + F2FS + NTFS - :

You are right.
it is a first step and only a strict compilation of @Phil3759 sources. Before adding other properties, I need test reports upon what is working and what is not. Then the first job will consist in making recovery seeing the extSdCard. Moreover, if I compiled this recovery, it is mainly to try to add f2fs formatting in order to replace the ext4 filesystem.
good work, when you get the ext sdcard working I will start using it.
Is this able to use backups made by the older CWM we been using?

I just noticed it says lollipop, does this mean this recovery wont work with kitkat roms?
issues I found
with touch interface enabled and pressing the circle button, I often by mistake do 2 actions, it seems it repeats even if the repeat key option is disabled.
date/time is completely wrong. time zone is set correct but the time displayed is completely wrong, my local time is 16:37 4 may and its displaying 8:14 5 may.
setting brightness has no effect, always same brightness.
dim screen delay also doesnt work (screen never dims)
ok for now I having to revert to the basic cwm as my extsdcard is exfat.

I didn't try kitkat roms as I don't need them anymore. If bootloaders are not different it could work.
Touch interface is very sensitive. Try to lower the Scroll Sensitivity.
Time appears foolish. Just tick the Qualcomm Time Daemon and you get the right time
exfat is a real problem and I try to solve this question.

bootloader kitkat and lollipop are different
so what issues does different bootloader cause?
I was able to access the recovery fine with a kitkat rom installed.

issues with bootloaders : mainly bootloops or phone freezes.

Phone unable to get past CM13 boot logo (with video)

Basically, I had to do a battery pull on my LG D415, after the better pull, I booted up the device like I normally would. After starting the device, I am now experiencing an issue where I am unable to get past the CM13 boot logo, where it will continue the booting animation with the CM13 logo, and then the device will just shut down. Attached is a video of this happening.
Is this essentially the inevitable bootloop that is found in many Android devices? If so, how can I go about fixing the issue? I had a lot of stuff on the device and would prefer to not have to reflash anything, as I spent already hours setting up the device in the first place.

Usually a bootloop restarts your phone or doesn't pass the CM (in this case) logo.. I think u can classify as bootloop nevertheless.. u can try reflashing the same version of cm13 on top of that.. you maybe won't loose anything important but I don't know what you had done in your device.. it's just my opinion..

I don't know.. again it's your decision.. but if your going to flash, try 1st without Gapps.. if they don't stay then flash Gapps.. btw I saw u want to download cm13.. that's a bummer because cyanogen is over.. they closed CyanogenMod OS. So no more cm's for anyone. Instead u have lineage OS that's made by CM team and we don't have official. It's the same with changed brand.. I don't know if you will succeed downloading a cm13 version but search here in L90 forums.. maybe you find a solution..

Oh yeah, I totally forgot that CyanogenMod closed down its OS. This is a huge bummer, as this essentially means I need to find a new ROM anyways...
Any suggestions? Anything super stable, and runs fast is what I was looking for. If not, I might just go back to the stock ROM and stay rooted or something.

Thanks for the advice, I'll go ahead and take a look at it! As long as it's stable, and good to use as a daily driver, it works for me.
Though, I am currently having an issue with booting into TWRP to flash the ROMs, as I keep trying the volume up + power button steps to get into recovery, but it's just sending me directly to the CM13 loading logo. And because I can't even get into CM13 because of the boot issue, I am not sure if I can connect the device to a computer... Any advice on how I can fix this issue?

Its a unofficial build of lineage 13 made by @slimshadys and is basically cm13 last nightly made.. should be very stable.. doesn't bring root by default but just flash SuperSU 2.79 (last version I think) and will work ok

Haha silly me, yes volume down + power did the trick. I always get confused with that because it seems to be different for many devices. Yeah as I posted in my other thread, this phone is meant for a friend who uses it daily, it sounds like that lineage 13 is pretty much fit for the task? Would it receive updates in the future? I am always open for trying other ROMS of course, as long as they are 100% working and have no issues/

Oh okay, thanks! I'll go ahead and just do a fresh install since I forgot this phone has an SD card, so the majority of the data needed is already there. Thanks for your help! I'll keep looking at 14.1 and rest of the Nougat ROMs, and consider flashing it if they become stable soon.

Its power button and volume down.. I read that ur going to give your L90 To another person.. I think u should not flash nougat Roms yet.. they are still "beta ish" Roms.. Instead try this https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=673368273298925163
Its a unofficial build of lineage 13 made by @slimshadys and is basically cm13 last nightly made.. should be very stable.. cumps

So I installed lineage OS, but for some reason can't provide root access to apps? Attached a screenshot, not sure why it's not allowing me to select apps, and only showing ADB...
EDIT: No idea how, but the SIM card reader stopped working... I tried flashing another ROM just to see if it was lineage, but it wasn't. The phone is still under warranty, but I assume if I send it back it'd have to be unrooted... any idea how I can go about that?

Oh great, thanks! I used to have the old myTouch 4G, and unrooting that phone was such a pain, I nearly spent 6 full hours because of all the steps needed and it was so easy to mess up. This looks pretty straight forward. On the bright side, I now know once I get the phone back I can flash lineage OS and should be good to go.

Before you flash kdz maybe the problem was bootstack.. Dont really know if that was the problem because its supposed to work if you still have a KitKat bootstack installed but try changing that.. Just be carefull to choose the right one..

[LG Leon LTE/C50n/H340n] TWRP for LG Leon LTE + LineageOS 13 news!

Hello! So, I've tried creating a device tree for the Leon LTE (H340n) based on ms345, and after some changes I've compiled TWRP for this specific model, with it identifying as c50n, which should allow for custom ROMs(I'm building LineageOS 13 right now, but don't get your hopes up) Also, there's a way to flash TWRP and get root on 6.0, here's a guide (https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=72501544&postcount=25) and you can flash my recovery instead.

Sources: https://github.com/dadziokPL/android_.repo_local_manifests
Also, this recovery wouldn't work if it wasn't for Charles-IV's help on Github, a huuuuge thanks to him!

the official twrp one is for all c50 devices, but this one is specifically for the c50n, but im not sure how much of a difference it makes.
You can find out if yours is c50n or not in about phone.
Strange thing is its twrp 3.0.2 , and i cant find anything about this on the internet

The difference is that the c50n did not have a device tree, there was no way to build custom ROMs, so I started working on a tree, and TWRP now compiles with it. It also identifies as c50n inside the recovery when checking compatibility with a ROM, so if I ever manage to get Lineage working, it will flash properly, being meant for THIS specific phone, the LG Leon 4G LTE aka H340n aka C50n. Previous TWRP was for all LG Leons, built on a common tree. With a specific tree, it allows for specific fixes for this device if needed in the future. The version is older since I used TWRP android6.0 branch, I could build an updated version, but right now I'm taking a break.

MetroPCS is ms345, I just needed a base for C50n, the international LG Leon 4G LTE. The devices are similiar, so I thought I could use the existing ms345 tree to create a tree for the C50n. I don't know if there is a specific TWRP for the ms345, if there is, you should find it and use it. If not, the C50 from twrp.me should work. Also, my recovery for C50n should work too, just try flashing, if some **** goes sideways, just flash another one and try again. The difference is basically what TWRP thinks your device is, and if you flash a ROM for ms345 it would expect your recovery to be for ms345, and not anything else. Get it?
Hey, I'm from Brazil and I own a H342 model of this cellphone.
I was thinking about installing the v20b marshmallow kdz released for H340 because I'm done with the ***ty, ugly and laggy 5.0.1 build, but I know that even if the processor is the same for both devices the baseband will still differ.
You know how can I install 6.0 and flash the baseband from the H342 after?
Sorry for any concordances errors and thank u for your time

Sorry about the lateness, but don't do it.
The baseband was built with code specifically for lollipop, flashing it on top of marshmallow will most likely lead to incompatibility.
What about LineageOS?

None other than it might take a long time. @dadziokPL has a lead on what the current error is though.

It's all going so terribly wrong tho. I've managed to get it to compile, but it does not boot. Goes to "AP Watchdog bark" green screen, so probably can't even boot into the Linux kernel, since if it did we'd get some boot animation and logcats. I'm totally stuck.
Also, the recovery does not boot anymore, I'm gonna revert some commits up until you merged all the common trees, modular approach is much better

Yes, I was worried that I might break something with the merging, but we can re-merge when everything's working to see if it does break things.
The kernel might need to be modified - all I did is went onto lg leon's source code site and downloaded the H340N one. It contained two zips, one with the kernel in, and one supposedly with the rest in, but it was really messed up and I couldn't get it working.
I'll build the kernel in that tree using their instructions (not sure what I'll get!) and we'll see if we can use that as a prebuilt kernel.
Is your bootloader definitely unlocked? I remember getting a greenscreen when I was messing about with the partitions, trying to put the recovery on it etc.

Yeah, the bootloader's got to be unlocked since old TWRP boots fine

I'm trying to figure out a way of how to unmerge, and restore the combined branch it was on - i spent so long on that! -_-
To me it looks like the error is to do with the bootloader rejecting it. Could it me something to do with the system.prop. Fingerprints, maybe?

I have completely no idea what the problem is. I'm gonna hard reset the repo to the last commit before the merge, but we'll lose all commit history after the merge. We'll have to start over from before you merged it all. Why'd you even do it? It was totally fine being modular

Well I'm used to a single device repo, so I tried merging it, to see if it worked. Personally I didn't like having 3 repos to look at, but three of each file is also hard!
Tbh I was surprised when you pulled it, I just did it as an experiment.

I thought maybe you did something important with the merge and just pulled it, but it seems like it broke it. Anyway, now I know how to revert commits, so I'll be building the recovery, and if it does not work, I'll just revert one commit back and gradually figure out at what point it broke.

When you've got recovery working, if booting still doesn't work, let me know, I've noticed a minor difference in fingerprints and build description (the same difference) in my build.prop compared to the build prop overrides. It is probably because they are different builds, and shouldn't make a difference, but if it's not working, I'll try it.
On a side note - if we change the overrides, in theory, with suhide, it should pass safetynet!

Okay, so the merge must have screwed something up, since recovery works perfect now! I'll be back to building now. Also, I'm not building Lineage anymore, I switched over to RessurectionRemix, it's totally awesome.
Edit: You know what. I'm actually going to build the kernel itself for now and see if it works, since I'm on a CM12.1 ROM for ms345, it works but is quite bugged. I'll do an experiment and try to flash the kernel I'll build. Probably won't work, but I'll see what will happen
Edit 2: Okay, green screen again, I'll try to build the full ROM again, if that happens again, that is bad news, since I have no idea how to fix this thing.
Just another edit: I have an idea. I just downloaded the Qualcomm QPST tool, I might be able to debug this. No promises tho, we'll see.

The kernel is probably originally for aosp 6.0.
Personally I think Lineage is better, but then I've never personally used RR.
I'll also make the fingerprint commits.
edit: trying to figure out how to only make a pr of one commit to your tree.
