[Q] Possible to Dual Boot with Kindle Fire? - Kindle Fire General

So is it possible to dual boot more than one ROM with Kindle Fire?
For example: Dual Boot CM7 and Kindle Fire Stock ROM
Especially with this app:
[APP] SwitchMe - Securely Boot Into Multiple Installations of Android On Any Device
Thanks.

Answer is NO....
From the thread you are pointed at:
Is it possible to run two different android Roms ?
as in - On one profile have CM7 and on another profile have a stock based rom
No. Only multiple installations of the same base rom. Any content inside /system cannot not be changed

It is possible I have done it but the problem is you will get force close errorsfrom the aneroid.adore prossess and if you imports the factory reset process u have just messed the dual boot up. It only works with Roms that do notformat such as cm9 and gr6

I don't believe that that is possible

the process i used:
install GR6
install switchme
create 2 profiles
switch to second profile
once second profile has fully booted reboot into recovery
flash cm9 and gapps (optional)
reboot
your done.
but like i said your will get force close errors for the android.acore process and you will either have to deal with them or just not attempt the dual boot. Because if you were to do the only known fix you will wipe all the switchme profiles. I am working on trying to find a way to reestablish the profiles after a factory reset.

cm tried flashing another but got stuck on this screen tried the factory reset but gives me an error and it wont boot into sdcard
i do get the touch something screen
I've got stuck in this "Android" screen when I tried to update my existing CM7. This is what I've done.
1. Boot to recovery.
2. Wipe cache
3. Install the update from SD and choose the CM7 file and google apps
4. Wipe data/factory
5. Format or insert a new sd before re-booting.
I encounter the same error on the first reboot. Booting up the second time solved it. It does hang at the CM logo for bout 5 min on the second boot.

You shouldn't be getting a touch anything screen depending on what CM7 file you are using. Go here and start the process all over. Make sure you use the latest version of CWR (3.2.0.1): http://mrm3.net/nook-color-how-to-install-cyanogenmod-nightlies/

[Q] Defy won't go past the boot logo

Good day everyone! I would like to ask for some help if it wouldn't bother.
I previously have WajkIUI 1.10.21 installed on my 2nd init. I have installed the Multiboot plugin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1364659) and installed the CM9 12-2-2012 build on 2nd boot.
However when I updated the 2nd boot to CM9 12-11-2012 build, the 2nd boot stays stuck on the red M logo. Because of that, I installed the "kernel" on 2nd boot which was supposed to boot the build. Unfortunately, it only resulted to a boot loop for my CM9.
When I tried to boot from 2nd init (which still has my WajkIUI), it suddenly stopped booting as well. I tried to recover using my recovery file but to no avail, 2nd init still won't boot.
So my phone's condition now is: it is able to run CWM recovery on both 2nd boot and 2nd init. Will I still be able to boot my 2nd init? Will I still be able to restore to my latest recovery file? If yes, can anyone guide me on how to fix my 2nd init boot?
Thank you very much everyone!
I think its mentioned in the defy cm9 thread.
Its not possible to flash any newer version including 111207 in second Boot.
i think i made the same mistake too...
but i dont know wether i had to reinstal primary boot...
you could try to flash miui on primary boot so that you can do atleast anything...
if you want cm9:
wipe everything
instal cm9 111207.zip
instal cm9 111213.zip
im using cm9 and everything is great, except camera, wich in fact isnt working at all
hope it helped, greetz esok

Thanks! Now I'm running the Dec13 build
I guess it's about the kernel which messed up. Motorola is so *** for locking the bootloader.
Anyway, thanks again! I'll try to install multi boot again and install Wajkiui on 2ndboot )

Think this doesn't work either, because of the Kernelchange
but maybe you could post the result of this test.
Would like to install cm7 as second boot, cause of the camera and all my old data

Yes, apparently installing a 2.2 based rom on the virtual system doesn't work (won't get past the M logo again) even when I apply the 2.2 kernel on the virtual system.
So I guess we're stuck on manually choosing our main rom. I also have my data on my older rom (not to mention, app highscores, etc) and I miss my defy's camera, but the ICS rom is so hard to resist.

AHHHHH damn it.
hmmmm well nevermind, think i will stay with ICS...
titanium backup works, so maybe as a tip for you:
install old rom,
make backup,
install ics,
restore backup,
some data may be back
Yes, I tried that before but for some reason, during restore, Ti force closes on my ICS.
Anyway, I'm fine without my old data for now Thanks Esok

try removing the battery. then put it back in and power up. see if it boots up. depending on which cm7 rom you were using, there's a known "stuck in boot" problem and removing battery method will overcome it.
^ Yes, try removing the battery and restarting the phone. One other solution could be applying the 2.2 Kernel after the installation of CM7 (only if you are using Defy and the base ROM of CM7 is 2.2) because I tried installing a CM7 nightly and had to apply the kernel
Kernal
I have a Defy I tried flashing to a few different versions of CM7, but it keeps stopping on the boot logo. I tried flashing from stock, so do I have to change my kernal? If so, how?

are you saying you were still on stock rom and you tried to install cm7? what was your stock rom and have you flashed any full sbf? what were the steps you did to install cm7?
Yeah, I was running the stock 2.2 and tried installing CM7.
I rooted my phone, then installed 2ndinit boot loader. Wiped caches/factory reset and used CWM to install from a .zip file on the SD card.
No idea how to set up RSDLite..
to install CM7 follow the steps in this faq :

so far so good. could be the rom you were flashing. were you trying to flash the nightlies by any chance? all the latest nightlies do not come with the kernel. you either have to flash the stable release first, or the cm7-kernel-signed.zip, inorder to have the correct kernel before you can flash the nightlies.
do not flash any full gb sbf or you can get yourself in trouble.

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR USB not being recognized in Windows 7 (while the Kindle is *NOT* plugged into computer):
- Open Device Manager
- Right-click your computer name and select "Show Hidden Devices"
- The top device group should be: Android device(or phone): under it "Android ADB Composite device"
- Right-click on that and select uninstall
- Now plug the Kindle back into the computer and let driver re-install
IF FOR SOME REASON WIFI DOESN'T WORK ON THE FIRST BOOTUP DO THE FOLLOWING:
Enter Terminal Emulator
Type: su
Type: fix-mac.sh
Exit Terminal Emulator
Reboot
THIS ROM SHOWS OFF HOW WELL ICS CAN RUN ON THE KINDLE FIRE.
** READY FOR DAILY USE **
If I had just installed this ROM and I wanted to see something that might not work in the stock-kernel based ICS ROM, then I'd try the following:
- Install "Chrome Beta" from the market and test it out.
- Audio is more stable.
- Launcher is smoother due to full PVR graphic support
- Try YouTube!
For user support, look to this thread! Please keep discussion here as to what works and what doesn't, etc.
Thanks so much for putting this out there!
I will definitely give it a go once my internet connection stops being so wonky.
Time to play, thanks Hashcode!

Amazing work Hashcode. Simply Amazing.
I cant wait till this kernel is stable.
once again, nice job, i really envy your tallent.
Oddly enough I get bootloops on this right AT the bootanimation. Was running CM9 earlier (which worked fine), but for some odd reason this rom always bootloops on a different part of the bootanimation.
Wiped every single option under CWM. Will probably try TWRP to see if it's any different. The only option I don't see under CWM is "/format boot" so I'm assuming that maybe there are some remnants that are keeping it from booting. I recall from the Nexus S forums that a proper wipe involves formatting system and boot.
I decided to give "fastboot erase boot" a try. I thought that this was going to just wipe out the boot partition. I was then going to flash the boot partition with your boot.img from your zip file, but somehow I still wasn't able to get back into the recovery after doing so. After flashing recovery again, it finally loaded back up. But, at that point I just flashed a nandroided boot.img just to be safe.
I'm not even sure if this line of thinking is correct though, haha. If it is I'll goof with it some more tomorrow.
Or would it be possible to include a line in your installation script to wipe boot as well?
I simply cannot seem to be able to get the screen working. The backlight does start, and sometimes I can see different colours in various lines of pixels, but no picture shows no matter how many times I try the power button. Very strange.
Thank you for outstanding job.
My kindle Fire recycled to boot loop during booting using this ROM. It recycled back to boot at CM animation where it remained for a few second at CM boot animation then boot to boot partition.

Anyone successfully flashed this using TWRP? Can't get it to boot...
Had absolutely no problems booting this on my KF. Works flawlessly so far.
Only thing was the CM9 boot animation was in portrait and cut off.
Oh, and I flashed using TWRP.
Oh, and guess what?! Google Chrome Beta now works!!!!
Some of my other findings...
The audio driver works very, very well! Amazon doesn't seem to have it implemented very well in their stock builds. Notably in apps like Audiotool Sketch which would crash on the first ICS builds because of the original driver and then Squids which soundtrack would simply stutter on both stock and CM9 and now plays beautifully on this kernel.
Sims FreePlay no longer throws the error and you can now download and play it. Looks great on the KF too!
I'm not having any booting issues, that's after now having rebooted twice. I'm having the screen not work when you turn it off and on, ut like you said, just pressing it multiple times fixes it.
Not having anymore issues with the reboot button after a few restarts...
Flash works beautifully.
If you have it plugged in, it'll keep the charge. I've been messing with it for a hour and it hasn't went down anyway.
Hmm, I don't even see a boot anim. This is after wiping everything possible using TWRP.
Strange, what ROM did you come from?

MoDaCo. Do a wipe of your caches.
I did, I wiped everything, including cache. Came from cm9 tho, maybe, as another user said, boot isn't wiped correctly.

Try factory restore then.
I did a factory reset and cleared both the cache and dalvik cache, prior to installing the FW. It just refuses to show a picture, and there is also no boot animation.
Once, though, I waited for it to boot and then I tapped around on the screen. Somehow I heard dial tones, and a distinct button press "click"

[Q] Eyeballer mostly working, Gapps not working

I installed CM9 Eyeballer the other day on my NC. It pretty much works, but if I go into the web browser or any other factory-installed app, hitting the "N" button takes me back to the factory-installed home screen, and I can't find any way to get back to the Android home screen, short of rebooting the device. Is this normal?
Also, I flashed Gapps using gapps-20120429-ics-signed.zip, and the only Google App that appears is Play Store -- I was able to sign in, but the next screen gave me a "Server Error," and that's all it's done since. I verified the md5sum, and also tried again to install it. No change. Is there some version conflict, or something like that?
Edit: did not install CM9, after all. I now have.
What is the 'factory installed home screen'? You mean stock? That is not possible if you installed CM9 over the top of stock on emmc. Can you explain a little more how you installed it and what you mean.
Well...
I followed the directions as closely as I could: create a recovery chip, copy over the zip file (manualnooter-5.08.20-apps2sd.zip), reboot, install from zip file, install Manual Nooter, flash update-Froyo1.2-dalingrin-OC-emmc-090111.zip, install Gapps, reboot again. As far as I could tell, my results were consistent with the directions, up until the symptoms I described. For example, the splash (smash) screen is right, and the rainbow-y thing, and so on.
This partial success is even more frustrating than a total failure.

Your original post said you installed CM9. You did not. You just rooted your stock rom. You might want to edit the title of the post to 'Manual Nooter installed properly, Gapps not working. Then take that CM9 Eyeballer statement out of the text in the first post and you might get some proper responses from folks.
Sure enough.

Ah... I was under the impression that Eyeballer was a version name of CM9. None of the sets of instructions I read made it clear to me that wasn't the case.
I ended up doing a factory reset, then reinstalling everything. The picture is far rosier now -- it finally looks the way I pictured!
Thanks!

Eyeballer does build a version of CM9. But that has nothing to do with what you did. You ran Manual Nooter, which is a tool to root your stock installation. CM9 is a completely different version of Android than stock is. And when you install CM9, your stock is completely removed and replaced by CM9.
You do not have CM9 installed, you have just rooted your stock rom.
Anyway, I'm glad you got it working.
Edit: I see you modified your original post to say you did later install CM9.
[ROM][NC] Unofficial CM9 Nightly builds - with/without OpenGL
I don't have enough posts in XDA to post in the (goo dot gl/vPJcM) actual ROM thread so I'm hoping someone will see it here.
After installing the CM7 ROM a long time ago. they Nook wasn't able to boot into CWM. I can only access the recovery using a bootable SD card. That may or may not matter.
Yesterday I installed both the 3 SEP OpenGL and 4 SEP versions of Eyeballers CM9 ROM along with GAPPS. In both versions I cannot get bast the Setup Wizard since it "unfortunately Closed" every time I "touch the Android".
I did install the ROM w/o GAPPS as a temporary fix but will need to eventually access the Play Store.
I did notice that CWM still wont boot into recovery and the Cyanoboot won't either. Cyanoboot takes me to what appears to be a stock Nook screen claiming that an install has failed and that I should power on/off or contact customer service.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks!

You do not have CWM installed on internal memory (emmc). That message you are getting means you still have the stock recovery there. You need to flash a CWM to emmc using your bootable CWM card. Look in my tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item A8 and the subheading 'to fix a corrupted or missing recovery on emmc'.
I don't know how to solve your other problem with gapps, other than to do a factory reset with CWM.
From what I can tell, Eyeballer is mostly drinking.

Success! errr..sort of.
Prior to flashing gapps I was able to reboot into CWM. Thank you so much for your help!
Still having the same issue with setup manager after factory reset and wipe of all cache.
If anyone has a work around or another suggestions for CM9 on the NC I'd much appreciate it.
Thanks again.

1. if flashing two different roms, you have to wipe data. if you dont wipe, then youll get a bootloop.
2. bad download of a rom/kernel.
3. the theme/mod isnt compatible or a bad download.
4. rarely, stuff corrupts.
5. root applications with stuff thats not compatible with your rom/kernel.

watching a log cat via adb while the device is forced into one of these "bootloops". maybe even a dmseg. btw, are you sure that you have root? can you describe a situation, what you were doing with what root app, in detail how a "bootloop" happens? can you describe the bootloop and how you recover from one?

those options probably arent compatible due to android version, phone model, or rom(if works on another rom). there could be filesystem differences that make things incompatible. not all hacks/mods work on all devices. this all would cause bootloops, the way you describe it. have someone else with a nexus 4 confirm if they work or cause bootloops.
I already spoke with the developer regrading these boot loop problems... he has provided some solutions for it...
I have try those workarounds and lets see whether it fixes the problem or not....
