MultiRom USB-boot - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I can install ROMs in TWRP via Multiboot on my USB-Stick successfully and i can choise the ROMs in THW Multiboot menu, but then it always boots the ROM Form my internal storage.
It worked some time ago flawlessly. Did i flash something in the wrong order?
Or what could be the cause of that?
Thanks in advance.

This is so annoying

This is the third time this has happened now. I flash a ROM on my N7 then i look to restore a backup and it says file not found. But I've made a backup! How the hell can i fix this?

Is the backup made in 4.1.2 and the new rom is 4.2 (or the other way around) ?
If yes, then I'm sorry to inform you that the path where the backup reside is different in 4.1.2 and 4.2 ... so there are some steps required to use the respective files. More than that, switching in between 4.1.2 and 4.2 will require you to alter the mounting points.
No I'm on 4.2 and did a backup of stock using cwm. Now cwm cant find my backup

What version of CWM.. This is a known bug on a older version. I would suggest you check that maybe even re-download and flash cwm again. Get it from cwm web site not the one in rom manager self install....
Good Luck
I got the latest one, i will flash the stock image again. Third time lucky! Thanks for your help

Install ROM Manager and use that to flash CWM again. Then it should stick.

Dual boot on Nexus 4

I want to try the Dev preview of Ubuntu Phone OS but I don't want to flash over Jelly Bean. Is it possible in any way to dual boot?

Hi,
No... (not yet?).

As far as I know there is only these two threads about dual-boot...
You can't dual boot but if your rooted you can make a nandroid backup using cwm twrp recovery. People have confirmed that when you restore the nandroid after flashing Ubuntu everything works fine

I'll just buy a used Galaxy Nexus to try Ubuntu Phone OS I'm pretty happy with CyanogenMod currently

When one boots into recovery isn't that another os? It's seems like we have duel boot, booting between the two. It wouldn't be worth sacrificing recovery but it would be neat to reboot into another os instead.

Yes that would be neat. Remove recovery for another full OS. It might be possible idk you would have to do a lot of mods but it just might work

As far as i know, recovery is another partition. Also if by some chance this were possible, dont you ever want to flash anything else again ?

Can't you flash directly via ADB without recovery if you go into fastboot?

Yes I would, like I said it would be a sacrifice. I would do it in a heartbeat if I could flash roms in bootloader.
Oh does goo manager use my recovery to update my rom?

When I flashed Ubuntu I just made a nandroid, flashed the two zips and played with it for about 10 minutes and then restored the backup

Multiboot + Ziddey + Kernel

Hello, Multiboot doesn't work with my usb-frive anymore since I flashed some things.
And Ziddeys recoverymod script never has been working for me yet...
Can I use a different kernel and still enable otg in TWRP? Like AK-Kernel?
Is it possible to make AK-Kernel mount my usb-drive the way ziddeys kernel does? ( don't set the Mount point under /sdcard/usb/ but /mnt/usb/ ) ?
Could someone please tell me right order to do so and when to wipe cache/dalvik or wipe my phone?
Is this order correct?
1. Install Multirom.zip in recovery
2. Flash TWRP_multirom.IMG
3.flash kernel
4 flash Ziddeys recoverymod.zip
Thanks

Hello,
Follow this:
Flash the franco.kernel r194.
Download MultiROM Manager app from Play Store.
Chceck if the app says "Kernel has kexec-hardboot patch".
In the app at section Install/update select MultiROM v18 and recovery.
Click Install.
It will reboot and install everything for you. It worked for me!
Cheers, msihp.

Simple ROM and Device compatibility question

I have a Nexus 4 running on 4.4.2 update base ROM. I've unlocked and rooted my phone, with multiple root tests to be sure. I've also downloaded the Franco kernel. Though its not working, so I assume its cause its a nightly version. From the information I've found those don't always work.
Back to my question though. My devices is a Mako, which goes along with being a Nexus 4 right. So why is it when I downloaded the cyanogenmod mako latest ROM it didn't work? Came up with an error comparing device and product as being mako, and some status 7 thing. I did a restore and now I'm here.
I've tried to install it view clockwork recovery, and from the ROM manager app. Both came up with those errors. Am I doing something wrong?

It looks like you don't have the latest version of cwm on you're phone. Try updating you're CWM to the newest version. Or install twrp recovery ( newest version and try again.
Be warned if you install twrp recovery then you're backup made in cwm recovery wont work should you wish to use it.
Below is a screen shot showing you're problem.

Thanks. I updated clockwork and it worked perfectly. Though its extremely annoying that I don't get my apps and data and all that I would normally get when doing a regular Google based ROM. Is there a way to get all that with custom ROMs? Do I just need to do a flash of Google play store or something?

If you flash Gapps immediately after flashing the ROM, it should give you the options to download your apps and system settings during initial setup, if that's what you're asking.

You need to flash gapps package for google apps like playstore, gmail..etc. Link are often given together in the OP of the rom thread.
Excellent. Thank you all. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for those! You've all been a great help.

One more question. Kernels. I know some are ment purely for custom ROMs. But is there a place I can get Kernels for a stock ROM? I haven't decided on a custom ROM yet, but I'd like to tweak this one as much as I can before.

They support both, the exception being with CM kernels.
