[Q] multirom and linux - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

Hi all, I have a few questions concerning the nexus 7 flo.
I have unlocked, flashed twrp, rooted, and backed up my tablet. Now I want to flash other ROMs and Linux.
My questions are:
1. Do I need to remove twrp to install/flash multirom?
2. Will the stock kernel work with multirom?
Thanks for your help!

update
I sent a pm to the Dev... No answer yet. Does anyone know?

Good question if you find out let us know

1. No. But you will need to reflash the recovery with the supplied modified recovery(.img)-file. This will overwrite your previously installed recovery with a modified version.
2. It will not work: you need to have a kernel that has been patched with the kexec-hardboot patch (I use ElementalX)

Firstly, there are videos on youtube. If you want, just search for "MultiROM installation" on youtube and watch those, big thanks to all who made them. There is also an awesome article on Linux Journal.
Note 1: Your device must not be encrypted (hint: if you don't know what it is, then it is not encrypted).
MultiROM has 3 parts you need to install:
MultiROM (multirom-YYYYMMDD-vXX-flo.zip) - download the ZIP file from second post and flash it in recovery.
Modified recovery (TWRP_multirom_flo_YYYYMMDD.img) - download the IMG file from second post and use fastboot or Flashify app to flash it.
Patched kernel - You can use either one of the stock ones in second post or third-party kernels which include the patch, you can see list in the second post. Download the ZIP file and flash it in recovery.
You current rom will not be erased by the installation.
Download links are in the second post.
MultiROM is compatible with both flo and deb.

Thanks! Also, do you know if it is possible to compile a kernel for flo with the rtl8187 USB drivers included, or if anyone already has.

Hi, you only need a patched kernel for your primary rom. You can use any other kernel, including stock, for secondary roms.
Do you have details about flashing Linux on the N7 2013? I couldn't find anything much when I googled it.

I'm currently trying to get the "complete Linux installer" app to work. I've gotten Ubuntu to mount and work with ssh successfully with the terminal emulator by making changes to the bootscript, but no luck so far with vnc. I think I'll have to unpack the image and change the file system to ext4, but I haven't had time. As for truly flashing Linux, I found a few success stories using a modified Ubuntu image, but they removed the stock image. I haven't heard of anyone doing it with multirom... Yet. But that's my next project.

You might want to follow this thread: in which the official LinuxOnAndroid-developer states that he is working on a fix for 4.3 host-devices.

Just an update... I flashed multirom successfully, and complete Linux installer now works with flo! Some images work better than others, I've had great success with the Ubuntu small image.

Excellent news razrhackr!
Would you be able to link to a thread with a MultiROM image or a guide on how to do the same.
Thanks

[NOT WORKING][MOD][GalaxyS][RECOVERY][10-Jun-2011] Clockwork 4.0.0.0 - new wipe menu

This does not work. I tried it and was corrected. The Samsug Galaxy S doesn't have a recovery partition according to users in this thread. Therefore, this thread has been discontinnued and should be closed.
First of all, this is not my work. I only compiled it.
This is the usual ClockworkMod recovery, compiled from the CM7 sources with additions/modifications by j_r0dd. What I've done is only to compile it for the Samsung Galaxy S (i9000).
The credits go to Koush for the recovery itself and to j_r0dd for the modifications.
j_r0dd said:
This is based on the latest CM7 source which I modified for myself. I take no credit for the recovery whatsoever, but I will take all the blame for my mods . We all know this is Koush's hard work. Just some things were driving me crazy personally. First was the confirmation menu. I really got sick of scrolling through all those "No"s just to flash something, so i changed it for me personally and just thought I would share. I also created a proper wipe menu. I got sick of some wipes in the main menu and the rest in the "advanced" menu. I made this more Amon_RA like. See the attached screenshot for my changes. That change has led to a few others by me. flash with fastboot or flash_image. THESE ARE NOT IN ROM MANAGER. Also if you have an issue with this take it up with me NOT Koush.

Original Nexus S thread with changelog here.
Only available in standard orange, I actually can't be bothered to find out how to make different color variants.
Download:
GalaxyS_recovery-clockwork-3.2.0.0-j_r0dd_mod.zip (Without the /sdcard mounting bug)
GalaxyS_recovery-clockwork-4.0.0.0-j_r0dd_mod.zip (Buggy when mounting /sdcard)
Disclaimer
These recoveries are compiled using the latest commits from koush, j_r0dd and others. That means they haven't been thoroughly tested and might have minor/major issues. I take no responsibility for any damages this thing might cause, but most things should work as intended. If you want something guaranteed to work, I think you should stick with one of the older versions.
Source code available here.
OK, and what am I to do with it?
Does this support RFS ?
Or only EXT4 ?
The recovery image is not supported to flash it on I9000.....
this is great.... i don't think it's Odin flashable rightnow, so not trying anything for now but would like to see it in flashable form. I am right, right?
The problem is I don't know anything about flashing an SGS phone. I simply assumed one uses an img file for the recovery. I'll see tomorrow if there's a way to make it work.

Stupid question?
Why remove it if all you need to do is touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.no_confirm with stock recovery? and it does the same thing?
No, with this one you don't have so many "no" choices in the menu. And other differences in the menus as well. Look in the Nexus S thread for more details.

If you touch /sdcard/clockworkmod/.no_confirm on stock CWM you get dont get the "no" choices" menu changes I understand, but i dont see the point in removing the confirmation if you can turn it on / off by default

No, that's a different thing. In this recovery, you'll still need to confirm, but you won't have to go through so many "no's" to reach the "yes". You'll have no and yes as the two only choices. Also, j_r0dd moved some wipe features into main menu -> wipe. He also removed the obsolete "Install update.zip", seeing as people will browse directories and name files other things than update.zip nowadays. Things like that. That's the reason for the mod.
Updated OP to version 4.0.0.0.
Added back the 3.2.0.0 version in the OP so you won't have the /sdcard mounting issue. Hopefully it can be resolved soon, so we can start using the 4.0.0.0 version. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks for trying but a SGS does not have a recovery partition.
The recovery executable you have built needs to be embedded into the kernels zimage on SGS.
Its the one thing that stopped me building a psfmod recovery for SGS unlike every other device where recovery has its own kernel etc, the SGS recovery is in the main system kernel. Bad practice on Samsung for that.
People will have to wait.
FYI, CWM 4.0.0.1 is on githib now with sdcard bug fixed.

[Tool] Flashable Zip Recoveries

This is for those times when you want to change your recovery but don't have access to a desktop. You need to already have a custom recovery installed otherwise you can't flash the zip (duh!).
Here are some common recoveries in flashable form:
Stock_Optimus_V_Recovery.zip
aospCWMod-VM670-20110531_Recovery.zip
CWM_3.0.2.4_Recovery.zip
Thunderc-v-1.2.0-GNM_Recovery.zip
Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery.zip
Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_Recovery.zip (Optimus S)
Xionia_CWMA_12518.6_Recovery.zip (Optimus S)
You don't need to do anything special for these. Flash them and your recovery will be changed.
If you want to flash a recovery not listed above using your current recovery, use the following directions:
Make sure your recovery image is not corrupt before using this.
Rename your recovery of choice to vrecovery.img
Place vrecovery.img in the root of your micro SD card
Place Flash_vrecovery.zip anywhere on the micro SD card
Reboot into your custom recovery and flash the zip
Enjoy!
This is fantastic! Thank you.
Wicked Love it! Thanks Dude
is there a way to flash a custom recovery from the stock recovery, my brother flashed the wrong clockwork on his optimus v and now we can't install roms and it currently doesn't have a rom on it. I managed somehow to get the original recovery on the device and I can get adb to connect to it and windows to recognise the device. any ideas?
thanks xda thanks my optimos was brick n now its work is a life thanks ..im use this Stock_Optimus_V_Recovery.zip
aospCWMod-VM670-20110531_Recovery.zip grasias grasiasssssssssssssssss
Not sure if you're comfortable adding it to the list yet, but the latest recovery used with ROM Manager, ClockworkMod 3.2xx (not sure of the final digits), does work on the Optimus V now, thanks to koush.

I believe (never installed the thing though) than newer editions of cwm use the camera button to select.

I use the AOSP ROM (dead rom). For some reason, all the IHO ROMS keep rebooting me after installing all my apps. I also use the Xionia recovery and the Xionia 010-anykernel kernel. With that kernel though, your home key and menu key will be switched, but well worth it.

When I turn the screen on and unlock everything works great.

that's a lot of formatting in your post ;p
on the quick side:
so, my kitkat rom thread and twrp (both in my signature) still have live links to Google drive.
but...
kitkat pretty much requires setting up a sacrificial sd card with that twrp, which you can't remove from the phone. higher speed is better for the card.
that twrp has a kernel which reverses system and userdata, so even if you put it in internal mode, you have to modify updater-scripts to swap all mentions of system and userdata for it to work. with anything I didn't build, like anything pre-kitkat.
I have harmonia (important to set up the phone for activation) but if it's like my Evo 3d, you'll have to manually set the date back to 2019 or whenever the security certificate expired to get the activation app too connect or it'll just error out.
I also have a zip of harmonia I "fixed" to work with that twrp.
somewhere I also have bobzhome GB. and I think a reversed zip of that too.
I might even have older custom recoveries.
if you search around Google you might find the bobzhome rom stashed away downloadable, I was still able to grab it within the last year.
after a while I'll dig and upload stuff to my gdrive.
it sucks that Android file host deleted all my OV files though. I had a lot there.

[TOOL] LG P350 Optimus Me Pecan Toolkit [ROOT][RECOVERY][UNROOT]

This tool is now a legacy tool
For a more up to date version, please go to this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1948326
This toolkit roots the lg p350 phone, then applies a recovery of your choice supplied with the software
It roots quickly and safely
it flashes the recovery quickly and safely, whether starting anew, or just fancy a change
Disclaimer
I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices, dead SD-cards, or any misfortunes that happen to you
This tool is fool proof, and if doesn't work, then YOU have broken it, YOUR phone was already bricked, or YOU Haven't followed the instructions properly
Do not Blame any developer for any problems. If it bricks devices, then it won't be published
Click to expand...

You do not need to boot into fastboot. All instructions are given to you as you work
Your phone must be an LG-P350 (also called optimus me, pecan, or optimus life)
To flash recovery, it must be rooted already
Your phone does not need a recovery installed already
This includes all the different recoveries for our phone, So you don't have to go searching for them or asking anyone how to flash recovery
If your device can't be detected then it will go through checks, such as seeing if pc can see the device (windows 7 only)
It will also download and install the drivers for you silently if your computer doesn't have them, or if they are not working correctly
The root function can be used to replace using Superoneclick
This is only for Windows!
You do not need any extra software installed
To use
download the zip here
extract to where ever you want
enable usb debugging on your device (go to setting->Applications->Development)
run "antdking's p350 toolkit.bat" (could be called "antdking's p350 toolkit" depending on your system)

The only thing that I need to do now is do root the phone and apply kdz through CLI. the kdz I think I know how to do it using fastboot. rooting the phone I don't know where to start. I'd need to find out how superoneclick works, as that's the only thing that can root the later versions of the original stock rom.
a user interface would be great. And I have to learn VB.NET for school as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your hard work, looks great..

For root, SuperOneClick uses psneuter, learn how it works and probably you'll get a better idea how to do it... Check AndroidLib.dll for VB.Net and Android communication... For flashing KDZ through fastboot, good luck on that one, for some partitions come "disassembled" and KDZ Updater I believe joins those parts... You can get a better idea of what I'm talking about using LGExtract and DZExtract, I used those tools to decompile to bits and pieces the stock ROM files... Good luck and I'll be glad to help in any way...

The other day I was reading at the batch code, actually it's not that different as you use wget to download what is needed which in Linux is already embedded into the system. All you need to add into the folder structure of yours is the adb binary for Linux.

The other day I was reading at the batch code, actually it's not that different as you use wget to download what is needed which in Linux is already embedded into the system. All you need to add into the folder structure of yours is the adb binary for Linux.

It uses 7-zip as well, which I'm going to use more of later. I also need to know what each of the commands in my script is in ubuntu commands, because there are differences.
I need something that will work anywhere (like adb) that will handle zip files. I don't think you can get 7-zip like that for ubuntu. If I'm wrong can someone post it? I've had no luck, and I don't want to ask people to start installing things

unzip is generally already installed in Ubuntu... If you wish, I'll write some code later when I get home so you can get an idea and continue to work from there...

no it's alright, It's just getting to a point where I've finished it all. I've got the rest of the day today and all tomorrow to port to ubuntu and add a kernel flasher

Flatline - Unbrickable Transformer TF300T - Jellybean edition

The AndroidRoot.Mobi Team is proud to present Flatline: Nvflash for TF300T Jellybean!
This release allows generating nvflash blobs for your specific device, making your device unbrickable as long as you have a copy of the blobs.
As a brand new feature, it will also enable wifi and upload a copy of the blob to androidroot's server. Later, a solution will be released to retrieve the blobs from the server if you ever loose them.

try this https://www.androidroot.mobi/pages/guides/tegra3-guide-nvflash-jellybean/
I cant test it on my tf300t since i done it during ICS, but it did work successfully on my JB tf700
So, having read the guide thoroughly, if already on the JB bootloader (10.4.20.0), is it necessary to update to the latest firmwares before running this or can I do it on 10.4.20.0? I note that the guide references bootloader 10.6.1.15.3. Also, anyone know whether doing the NVFlash thing wipes the user data?
Thanks in advance. Looking forward to running this on my TF300T once I get my ducks in line.
Wow! Good news .
Is it working with 10.6.27.1 bootloader, or will it work?
Thanks rayman, XpLoDWilD & Androidrootz team!

@rayman Is it working with the bootloader for the latest update (10.6.1.27.5 )? Or should we downgrade to 10.6.1.15.3 to be safe?

It is working in 10.6.1.27.5 bl....im on c rom
i have a question....what files should i save?
the files that was generated only have 11mb...normal?
once i get the files can a reflash the twrp recovery?
if i brick my tablet what should i do with this files?
tks in advance
This is really exciting! Thanks devs!
Just to confirm and clarify (for noobs not unlike myself), this does work with the 4.2 BL (Rom example being CM 4.3 nightlies).
So I'm a bit confused. This process involved installing a new recovery image. If my device already has TWRP custom recovery and CM10.1 nightly, would I just follow all the steps listed and then reinstall TWRP as a final step? I was concerned with the steps that involved rebooting the device and wasn't sure how that recovery image would handle CM10.1
OK I just did it and I got a 1.6 MB blob file...I did the wheelie and it worked but where were the files: Unlocked token, factory config, and bricksafe img files received too? They were not in the nvflash directory nor on the device, but it said all three of them had been received succesfully.
Edit:
Found them. Located at: User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
All three were there

I'd like to know this too. I think we can reinstall TWRP -42 at the end, but I'd like some confirmation by someone more knowledgeable than myself.

OS X is not currently supported. We do actually have a wheelie port for OS X, but we haven't been able to find a sufficiently new nvflash binary for OS X, so there's little point in releasing it. You must use windows or linux.

Yes, you can install whatever recovery you want after getting your blobs.
You are also free to install whatever bootloader you want afterwards.
The recovery is essentially CWM with some extras, so it should flash any CWM flashable rom without issue.

It works on all currently released bootloaders. If we hear of asus fixing it in a new bootloader, we will put a latest bootloader supported notice on the guide on the website.
Only unlocking the device wipes the user data. Doing the NVFlash thing doesn't wipe anything.
i am stuck at: Step 2: Generate wheelie blobs
its say that it genrateted the files and uploaded them but when i try the adb pull it cannot find the files. I tried both commands the /date one and the /tmp one. Also when i look a root browser app i cannot find the map.
Help pls :S
You can revert to 4.0 firmware via nvflash?

[Q] custom ROM help with v5002d

Hey all,
Just got my Gpad 8.3 v50020d kitkat 4.4.2 yesterday. Trying to flash a CM ROM preferably, but having nothing but issues.
I was able to get TWRP 2.8 installed, and make a backup of stock. Have been able to wipe and restore no problems. But everytime I try to flash cm-11-20140910-INFECTED-v500 I get a failed error. Also, can't flash the KitKat gapps-kk-20140606.
Never had problems flashing custom ROMs on my ASUS tablet, galaxy S4, Hisense tablets, so a little guidance would be MUCH appreciated.
I must be overlooking something...please help all.
Thanks so much.

V500 is very tricky tablet, i had issues too, but after few tries i was able to install slimrom, latest weekly build. The newest TWRP is a must, you can't install any ROM without it, so there is probably your problem. If not, try to wipe. First factory reset and then advanced wipe and check first 4 options I think. Flash ROM and it should work.
But I want to ask you - don't you have unmount SD issue? If not, try to monitor it after flashing ROM, it can appear and it's pain in the ass
Well I do know if you take the 4.4.2 OTA after purchase or you buy with 4.4.2 installed,
Its 10 times more of a pain to root/recovery/rom on 4.4.x base, it's a lot easier on 4.2.2 base.
As for TWRP I'm on 2.6.3.2 and never had any problems.

Appreciate the replies all.
After wiping again, I tried flashing CM 11.0 Nightlies and it worked without a hitch. Also flashed the same gapps zip but this time it worked. I don't know whats up, I was having external SD issues so I put the ROMs on internal storage as well.
Now that its all up and running, I have root,and no problems accessing external SD card. Also, knock on works as does my smart cover. Couldn't be happier. Incredible battery life and amazing speed.

probably the easiest way is using this TWRP Manager (ROOT) app from the Play store. It will allow you to install TWRP onto your rooted, unlocked bootloader device.
I did it a harder/longer way without the above app so try the TWRP Manager app first.
Good luck!

Just curious, has anybody confirmed that the TWRP manager app is compatible with the V500? Does it deal with the Loki exploit required for our tablet?

I would download the TWRP (for our device) of the xda thread to be honest,
And flash manually through a flashing app off Google Play (I use Flashify, but there a few on there)
In theory if it grabs the TWRP file for the V500 it would have the Loki patch in the recovery file, but I wouldn't take the chance just in case it grabs any random file lol
Manual is the best on the tablet itself, or do it through a PC and push the TWRP file through ADB to the recovery partition.
But now-a-days you just run the .bat files and it does all the mumbo jumbo for you and reboots straight to the recovery.
Hope all goes well!

I agree. Until somebody can confirm that this app works reliably with our tablet, I would go with the manual approach.

I can't remember all the details. But I'm pretty sure I put the 2.6 version of TWRP onto my internal storage, downloads folder, I think (I did have an external SD card installed too, but I can't remember where I put TWRP initially). Then installed it using the stock recovery...Once TWRP 2.6 was on there, I upgraded to 2.8. Then, made my stock backup and then flashed CM 11.

You're rooted right?
My device has an unlocked bootloader. Does yours say the same?
Which version of twrp are you trying to install?
Once above is done try using twrp manager in the play store.
Let me know how it goes.
How do I unlock the freaking bootloader? I have root and twrp but cant boot into it because of the locked bootloader
I am in the same boat. I have rooted my device and I can't get any further.
