Q&A for [MOD][SEP 14] MultiROM v28 (Redesigned GUI!)
Some developers prefer that questions remain separate from their main development thread to help keep things organized. Placing your question within this thread will increase its chances of being answered by a member of the community or by the developer. Thanks for understanding and for helping to keep XDA neat and tidy! :smile:
I'm trying to get ubuntu touch RTM running with MultiRom on my Nexus 4, and it's erroring out on boot. When I try to view the log it seems like it gets overwritten by the log for the successful android boot every time I try and get the phone to a place where I can actually access it.
I couldn't find a way to view it through recovery, and copying it to the sd card doesn't give an option to re-name, so it gets overwritten. How can I actually view the log?
rooting secondary rom
Tassadar, i have your lollipop factory image installed as secondary rom. I have a question about rooting it. I have read in other threads one cannot just flash supersu zip for root to work, that people are using CF Autoroot instead. Would this method overwrite multirom recovery ? Could you say best method for rooting. Thanks
does this contain the new radio, bootloader etc?
Solved by flashing permissive boot image zip from skypompos thread and super su 2.19 zip.
Grabbed lrx21t_mako.zip from OP's basketbuild site, fresh installed as secondary ROM, stuck at boot animation forever.
Primary ROM is stock 4.4.4, with latest 4.4.4 kernel+1105recovery+v29 all installed by multirom.
5.0.1
Hey man,
I know its just out,
but a 5.0.1 LRX22C_mako.zip would be awesome!
Thanks
question
Hi, can i use multirom on my nexus 4 with lollipop? And can i use as secondary rom a rom based on kitkat?
Does MultiRom work on lg optimus g (e975) mako unlocked and by modifying build prop to nexus 4?
[Q]
Hey , i just downloaded 5.0.1 and flashed my nexus 4 with stock 5.0.1 , rooted and flashed custom recovery too, used your kernel for 5.0.1,and flashed your custom TWRP
installed multirom and now, TWRP->Advance..->Multirom->Add new rom -> android-> zip-> and here, renamed my " occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.tgz (4.2.2)" to " occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.ZIP" to be able to flash ZIP
when i select " occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199.zip " to flash as secondry ROM ,after 1sec TWRP restart, i mean it close itself and reopen at TWRP main page, and then i can see "occam-jdq39-factory-345dc199" in rom list
but cant boot it and getting error
(log file attached)
whats wrong?
How do I restore a backup of any secondary ROM?
Hey, I have just made a back up of the data partition of my secondary ROM but, when I tried to restore it I realised that it's only possible to restore a back up for the primary ROM. There's any way to do that? Thanks.

Hello,
You can Swap your roms, swap primary with secondary, restore your data partition backup, then swap back,
Stuck at google logo.
Hi everyone, first post here, two days after buying this phone and I'm already in trouble.
I followed the instructions to use MultiROM to add Ubuntu Touch; and everything was fine, until I decided I wanted RW access. Then, I had the idea to sudo apt-get upgrade within Ubuntu... it failed to complete the installation of the packages (though it had space... I think), then I tried to reboot the phone.
Now it gets stuck at the google logo; and if you press the power button to shut it down, it starts again after a second or two.
I can access recovery mode pressing the three buttons, and within, I get to MultiROM TWRP by choosing "Recovery Mode"; but there's a lot of options here and I could not find anything that allows me to boot on either Android ("Internal" seems to be gone) or Ubuntu.
I'm an experienced linux user but -as can be seen- this is my first foray with Android, smartphones, and the like.
Let me know what other information should I provide; and thanks in advance for your help.

Nevermind. I flashed everything from scratch and now the phone is back on its feet.
I am not sure what is the problem, but adding specific radio images for secondary ROMs is not working. I tried with Sailfish OS and MIUI to include older radio images for them to work, but nothing changed.

silly question maybe but if I want to make my secondary rom the interal one and wipe the current internal, a copy secondary to internal would just do that right?
I wanted to do a swap first to be on the safe side, but I don't have enough free space for that
other remark : the app doesn't see that Ubuntu touch us already installed?
Multirom Ubuntu touch start error
İ have an issue about Ubuntu touch. İ installed multirom and installed what it recomemmends. İ installed Ubuntu stable with multirom. İt installed and opened first time. i choose my lang. etc . İt says phone is ready but there is an ubuntu icon rolling. Nothing else... İ cannot skip this icon. i Waited 1 hour or more 3 times. i have a nexus 4 with stock 5.1
I have some wondering what bothers me:
1. Internal rom is mounted read-only ?
2. Matter where I install the rom that I use more often,daily use ?
3. In system I do not realize if it moves slower but in recovery does(and load slower at startup),it can influence the performances and battery life in system?

I have had many android devices and almost all of them i have turned to this site to either make them better or give them renewed life. The nexus 7 is my first tablet and due to previous experience i came straight here to us and upgrade to the kernals and firmwares off the perfectionists i have come to know! (thank you all for the many years of making my devices as great and if not better than more recent mobile devices!)
Today i got my nexus seven and i downloaded: [Google Nexus 7 TOOLKIT V4.0.0] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash + MUCH MORE
This i belive allowed me to unlock my boot loadeder and root my device (althoug i have no way to confirm rooting!).
After unlocking bootloader and rooting i attempted to install a custom rom (Smooth rom 4.3) using given instructions to use JRomflasher from there page. Only problem is, jrom does not find zipped or unzipped rom leaving me without an os! Could one of you nice guys help me out! I had a wifi 4.2.1 tab if that could help! kind regards, Alex!
Re: Please help a girl in need!
Download a kernel onto your computer as well as a ROM. Open a command prompt shift +right click. Plug the n7 in to the computer. Type "fastboot reboot recovery" without the quotations and press enter. Your device should boot into Cwm/twrp or whatever recovery in installed. Using windows explorer, Drag the ROM and kernel to your n7. First flash the kernel, then the ROM, then reboot. I know cause this happened to me too.

Cheers for advice but my device still refuses to acknowledge an updates there! in rar/zip or unzipped format! it just loops me back to start screen and i fail to do it all over again! Through experience i believe its my version of clockwork mod gone wrong as it gives me the option to install zip from sd card but continuoslly fails! what am i doing wrong?

Flashing a kernel before you flash a ROM would have no effect at all because nearly all ROMs generally overwrite the boot partition. (I dunno, maybe there are Aroura installers that avoid installing boot partitions). I think you meant to say "Flash ROM, then flash kernel".
@OP Use the toolkit to restore the stock rom, and then immediately
- use the recovery to make a backup and
- copy the backup to your PC
after you have done that, only then you should start considering custom ROMs and kernels. You might even want to rehearse a couple of disaster scenarios so that you are familiar with the custom recovery you have installed.
Because of the lack of an external SD card, there are plenty of folks who - due to unfamiliarity with how things work - not only screwed up an installation, but also deleted all their backups on the *emulated* SD card.
good luck
also do what the above poster said, and I find using either goo manager or rom manager probably the easiest way for a noob to flash some roms
so use your tool kit to "return to stock" ( hopefully it has that option) then root it, then install goo manager or rom manager to automate rom installs for you

No, this happened to me and when i tried to flash a ROM it said "Flash Failed" so i tried to flash a kernel first, then ROM and it worked.

A million different things could have caused that.
You don't need to take my word for it though - just open up the installer scripts for each and note the erasing of the boot partition. It is impossible that you can flash a kernel to the boot partition, and then erase that partition, and then flash something else there (the boot image from the ROM), and have the original kernel survive.
I suppose that certain Aroura ROMs (or multi-ROM) installers could behave differently as they may allow mix-n-match ROM/kernel combinations.
But in general, standalone ROMs always overflash the boot partition (that's where the kernel & ramdisk image goes), so installing them 2nd would certainly overflash any prior "kernel flash". (Moreover, many of the kernel flashes drop stuff into /system/etc and elsewhere - so those things would get trashed too).
@OP : If the Google (black and white screen) shows a little open padlock at the bottom, then your bootloader is unlocked.

You r equate correlation with causation and have doled out bad advice based upon that flawed logic. The simple fact is that the kernel is overwritten when the rom is flashed.

I recently upgraded to ? and was disappointed to say the least so after looking around there are number of ways but all seem complicated so here is the easiest way which works for me
Flash at your own risk
My version P1640
1. Flash twrp recovery with flashtool or adb
2. Do a nandroid backup
3. Flash this http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Tegra Note 7&folder=Rom Stock 4.4.2-2.5
4.wipe dalvic etc then reboot
This rom is not compiled by me but is rooted
Lollipop is good but you need to tweak it to get it back to earth.
* Make sure your tablet is OEM unlocked. Then flash a sophisticated recover image version like TWRP. This will allow root-mode enabling via a patch.
* Put the tablet into fastboot mode and flash RootJunky's shared Lollipop restore image instead of the upgrade over the air (OTA). Good idea to erase particular partition before flashing.
* Boot to the recovery stage. Install latest zip SuperSu.zip using sideloader or having it already on a SD. This will enable root mode.
* Start system. Remove Apps from system partition unneeded, or that can be moved or installed to user directory instead. This frees up vital space. Example Lollipop only leaves a few megabytes left in the system partition after installation. Consider using Link2SD. Example get Google+, Google Play, Google Magazine, etc into the user partition and any other big App off your system parition. The system partition should only have important apps needed to be retained if a factory wipe is enacted.
* Then go through all your system settings make sure you tweak them to suit both power saving and your own desires.
* Use a startup tool like ES Task Manager to remove apps starting that don't need to be running from system boot.
* Install all Google Apps wanted. This can help to configure the system how it's meant to be.
* The system should now run smooth and use little battery.

LP 5.1 was a waste of time and resources. Apps freeze randomly (even after factory reset etc) and there are just better UI options in KK for now.

Oh man! I flashed this on top of 5.1 LP as your instructions but now its in boot animation from ~11 minutes now! Any other formats had you done after flashing this over LP like factory reset from TWRP?
Fk me! I cant even get into recovery by poweroff+volume up!! It just switches off then boots back on and goes into the bootlogo powered by tegra. How do i atleast switch it off until something is figured out? Its just getting hotter and stuck on bootloop
How do I flash it back to 4.4?

Last night I went into TWRP to fix permission since seemed like something was wrong with Lollipop and my TN7 went into a bootloop also. Couldn't get into recovery so I let the battery drain, recharged, and was finally able to get into TWRP. Flashed Tomsgt's 5.1.3 but before rebooting from TWRP it stated "No OS Installed! Are you sure you wish to reboot?" Of course I rebooted anyway and now the tablet is on but it's a blank screen. I hold the power button and the message "Power Off Device" does show up, so that's odd. Ended up flashing Stock-4.4.2-2.5 and it's finally back!!
Loved this tablet initially when it didn't stutter/lag so much, and I know the hardware is supposed to be more capable (other than the 1GB of ram). I don't game on it and don't do anything intensive. Don't understand why it would lag so much...
is this super-tool works with only evga tegra note???????
I have xolo play tegra note 7. I want to know that is this supertool will work with my xolo play tegra note 7 model p1640.. because this tool is for evga tegra note 7 so if anyone tried it then please help me...............

There are no differences between the brands, The only difference is the boot image and the name of the brand behind the device. the supertool will work with any brand (i think so) and if you use supertool to downgrade there should'nt be any issues (i think so i am not sure:angel

(Sorry for the spaces the policy doesn't allow me to post urls yet.)
I somehow thought that we can use official Flyme download from the Meizu website and the official Ubuntu turbo image without the need of installing TWRP or anything - and flash both via USB.
Functionality with TWRP would be a plus.
Well I think you can. Press both Volume up + power button, that's the stock recovery where you can flash images from meizu. So you probably can get Flyme when you have Ubuntu, but when you want to go back I think you'll have to flash the ubuntu turbo recovery back through fastboot. I think you can go without TWRP.

Well the power + up gives (a kind of) recovery that shows a screen with the Ubuntu logo in the center - nothing else. I believe the android version has a different recovery?
Ah I never saw that screen. Yes Android/Flyme has a different screen: like this
You can try to to use the Ubuntu recovery to flash a Flyme Rom. I did it with TWRP, but never tried it with the Ubuntu recovery.
The Flyme Rom replaces the recovery and boots with both TWRP and the Flyme recovery, maybe even with a Ubuntu recovery (I can't image it to be that different.).
Edit:
You might want to back up your current recovery. I just flashed the recovery from Canonicals website, and its just the English/Chinese Flyme one.
just a moment... thank's Pleytos, but we need the TWRP backup folder... on yours link there are the CM rom and on the Canonica site there are only the update.zip....
Keep in mind, also the partitons are different on Pro 5 Ubuntu, for this the best is to have the entire backup of an android phone, both CM rom and Update.zip are not flashable by TWRP (i have try)
and Toroman the recovery that you see is the original recovery, if you flash the recovery on Canonical website you have the screen posted by Pleytos BUT with this recovery you obtain only the unlock of ADB in recovery and, as you can read from the screenshoot to make an update you have to put a "update.zip" on root directory of the phone that, unfortunally in ubuntu edition, is read-only file system... i have just unlock it from linux terminal with a "remount,rw" but if you try to copy update.zip (many versions) to root fonder there aren't space enough...
I've make lot of try in this day and i have find two possible solutions:
- flash a rom with MultiUpgrade 4.8.5 (official software used by Meizu, that not start because some token is missing)
as reported in a big russian forum
- make a total erase of internal memory and rewrite it with a image from android Pro 5 phone (TWRP Backup)
Pleytos, one answer, wich room have you flash via TWRP? (both Ciano and Flyme, wich version)
All done... guide in details:
- on windows install driver: Samsung_USB_Drivers_for_Mobile_Phones_1.5.9.0
- on linux: run from terminal "$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa" and "$ sudo apt-get install phablet-tools"
- download from here (http://people.canonical.com/~plars/touch/recovery-turbo.img) the recovery image with unlocked ADB
- turn off the phone and turn on with volume down pressed to enter in fastboot mode
- in windows go to the folder where you have fastboot / in linux open the terminal and give "sudo -s"
- make a flash of recovery (fastboot flash recovery recovery-turbo.img)
- now download the TWRP recovery (i've used the 3.0.0 on this forum) and from terminal flash it (fastboot flash recovery "nomerecovery")
- now you have to copy first a CM rom on the phone or sd, before flash the CM rom erase completely the system partition, flash it whit TWRP and only after you are able to flash Flyme rom
keep in mind to make a full backup by TWRP and save it on external archive before operate. (it's less complicate for future restore and help you if something goes wrong)

Hi! I flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 from Faust93, AICP 12.1 Rom from Faust93, and Flyme 5.1.6.0G & Flyme 5.1.5.0G via TWRP, It worked for me. I haven't been able to go back to Ubuntu though. Ubuntu-device flash doesn't work for me.
I can also flash Flyme with the standard recovery/ Canonical recovery by putting it on /sdcard/

Yes I can help you, are you running Ubuntu on your PC or Windows?
Before flashing Android, could you maybe help me with getting some Ubuntu files back? I can also help you through a chat or something if that is easier. Never mind I finally did it!I can still help you though, if you need me
Hi , Am running Ubuntu over windows ( virtual box ) we can go with team viewer , or if you want i can install Ubuntu in separate machine , Please let me know how we can communicate

Hi,
I've been away for some time, and I can see some nice progress in making Android work on the Ubuntu edition.
I might be repeating myself but it would be ideal if we (who own the Ubuntu edition) can go back and forth seamlessly. Unfortunately my flashing skills are buried in the ancient time of the HTC HD2 so I need some assistance (as probably more of us do). Here are some questions, I appreciate the effort and the help (assume I'm using Ubuntu on the desktop) (if something is easier in windows - please note). This would be a full circle:
1 Is it possible and how to make a COMPLETE backup of the Ubuntu edition phone (including the recovery and everything) to be able to get back to the factory condition (and using what tools/steps). I think I have read somewhere that OTA updates does not work with custom recovery or something similar.
2 after making the backup from question 1 - assume flashing official flyme to make it like a factory android device. (orig.recovery, OTA and so)
3 flash ubuntu back using backup provided with one.
I guess the ubuntu edition has the bootloader unlocked factory default.
Info on flashing CM or similar can than be like flashing it on original android - assuming (2) is working
As already said, just a remainder - Ubuntu recovery screen that came with the original phone is just ubuntu logo on the center on the screen - I don't know if it is important for any feature (OTA or something)
Best regards!
Also, looking around I have found this - seems interesting also

Actually this is most interesting! I would love to buy this phone, ubuntu edition. But since it would be my primary device and ubuntu touch not quite there yet, I'm not. That page about dual boot seems outdated though. And it is about nexus devices
Being able to have dual boot with android or even as someone said above have a back up and every 2 months restore ubuntu and check the progress would be great.

About Multiboot : A project to handle different ROMS at the same time so that you actually can use different ROMS without having to wipe up device to flash ROMS, it allows installation of more thn one ROM with all the features enabled.
USAGE1. Decrypt your phone by following THIS guide, else you won't be able to use Multiroms.
2. Boot into your primary ROM and install the Dual Boot Patcher app
3. Open the app and go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer. It will ask if you want to set the kernel. Make sure that you do.
4. Go to "Patch ZIP file" in the navigation drawer and patch the ROM or zip you want to install. If you can't select the ZIP file without opening it (OxygenOS's file explorer does that as example) use Solid Explorer, ES File Explorer seems to crash the App for some reason.
5. If you want to dual-boot with OxygenOS you'll most likely have too less space in /system. Instead use the Data-Slot and give a name for it when asked.
6. (Optional) Before flashing GApps refer to the section "In-app flashing" below and come back once you've done that.
7. (Optional) Download GApps from HERE, select ARM64 and the version you want, download it onto your phone, choose "Patch ZIP file" once again and select the Data-Slot which it created for you already.
8. (Optional) To flash GApps simply refer to the section "In-app flashing" again.
In-app flashing
To use in-app flashing, go to "Roms" in the navigation drawer, tap the floating button on the bottom right, and add the zips you want to install. You can queue multiple zips and they will all be flashed in one go. Once you've added all the zips you want to flash, click the check mark in the action bar and they will be flashed right away.

CURRENT ISSUES
#since this is a work in progress please do consider having a look here
1. If you update ramdisk and reboot then the phone will reboot to recovery and not boot to rom. You will have to reflash your rom for it to boot.
2. Lots of other issues.
3. When setting a lock-code in your second ROM and boot back to your main ROM you'll probably be greeted with "Wrong PIN/Pattern". To fix this either delete the following files in TWRP or via ADB:
In /data/system: password.keym pattern.key, locksettings.db, locksettings.db-shm, locksettings.db-wal
After this step you can go back into your main ROM and set a lock-code again, now it should work.

Seems like no rom is working with this. I have informed @chenxiaolong but till then, I need logs from anyone who is trying this on any custom rom. You can find logs in the multiboot folder in your internal storage. Thank you.
If you remove encryption then this should work. Try using the data slot to install a custom ROM while you are on a custom ROM and please let me know if it worked. For those getting ramdisk issues, ?*just flash /sdcard/MultiBoot/primary/boot.img.before-ramdisk-update.img from TWRP.

In bootloader mode > "fastboot format userdata" > done. But all your data will be lost. So make a backup on your pc first...
Want to decrypt your device in order for this to work?
Here's how you can do that!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/unencrypt-oxygenos-loosing-data-t3412228/
Managed to recover from a "disaster" after trying to upgrade my main, primary ROM (OxygenOS)...
So, I downloaded OxygenOS 3.2.1 and SuperSU and patched it via Dualboot Patcher, so far so good.
Then I booted into my secondary ROM (Resurrection Remix) since flashing on the currently running ROM is not allowed.
Started the Flash on the second ROM, however I accidentally hit the recent apps key, once I switched back to Dualboot Patcher it crashed...
I panicked a little, I booted into TWRP and flashed both files from there (first OOS, then SuperSU to prevent it from encrypting again).
After that I rebooted, however immediately after rebooting the OnePlus logo came on, went black and rebooted into the OnePlus logo again. Well, nothing much wrong so far, that's usual SuperSU behavior.
After the second reboot my phone was stuck in a bootloop and got extremely hot, I left it sit there thinking it'd encrypt again due to me doing something wrong (this happens when you forget to flash SuperSU after OOS)
After almost 40 minutes, still nothing. So I went to my PC and took a look what logcat says: Java Fatal Exception, something battery related wasn't able to load up.
So I force-shutdown the device and booted back up, not even 20 seconds later it booted into Android like nothing before happened...
Lesson of this story: NEVER flash your primary ROM from the secondary one... ALWAYS patch the ZIP files first, then boot into TWRP, then flash them.
I installed a dual system rom for mistake and obviously cannot use it, I also installed a data dual rom which is working fine, my issue is that when I try to remove the dual system rom I cannot do it, even if I move to raw/system/multiboot and try to delete I can't, I tried to change the permission, to set raw folder as a writable folder but none of this tries work..any help?
I have been using multirom on nexus. I saw multirom is also there for OP3. currently on OP3 I have flashed multirom(that similar to Nexus) , then i came across this THREAD.
Just a noob question - how different it is from multirom?
No disrespect to the developer intended.
Tried with RR and AOSPA, didnt work, i think its not flashing the second ROM properly..?
***WARNING***
This is NOT an official guide and I'm not affiliated with Offensive Security [ :crying: ].
This is just my personal guide.
I've been playing with this today and lot of my tries ended up with bricking my device.
Currently this method is working, but I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices.

Hi guys! This is my quick-guide on how to install a Kali NetHunter on Huawei Honor 8.
It's quite simple, just read every step carefully.
This is just a guide. All credits goes to: CyanogenMod , TWRP, Offensive Security
So let's start!
*REQUIREMENTS*
- Rooted device
- Custom recovery TWRP/CWM
- A bit of patience
- Brain
You will need to flash a new recovery image through your old one .
So it's exactly very easy. I've already tested a lot of things and everything is working just fine.
So follow this steps:
1. Download CM 13 for Honor 8 and put it on your SD card. Link here.
2. Download this TWRP image for CM 13 / Honor 8 and put it on your SD card. Link here.
3. Download OpenGApps (Select arm64, 6.0, mini) and put in on your SD card. Link here.
4. Download Kali NetHunter (generic-arm64) and put in on your SD card. Full version: HERE. Minimal version: HERE. Just select the version you prefer. I'm using FULL, but I also tried minimal and it's working fine.
So after you downloaded all the files and you have it on your SD card:
1. Power off your Honor 8
2. When it's already off, press&hold Power and Volume Up button, until your device vibrates and the display starts up.
3. You should now be in your recovery. Press Install and select the TWRP recovery image, which you have downloaded on you SD card. Slide the panel to flash.
4. After you successfully flashed the image, head into main TWRP menu and select Reboot -> Recovery.
5. After you reboot into your recovery, choose cancel, if device ask for password key. If TWRP asks you if you want to allow write access to the system partition. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALLOW THIS. Check the box that says to never ask this question again.
6. Do a basic WIPE
7 . Flash the CM 13 then flash GApps
8. !IMPORTANT! Now reboot to your system and complete the basic "First-start" settings. Do NOT flash Kali NetHunter, if you haven't completed the first-time boot settings.
9. When you set up your phone and you are already on your Home Screen, power off your phone and boot to recovery again.
10. Now flash the Kali NetHunter, which you have downloaded on your SD card.
11. After the installation is complete, you can reboot to your system.
12. Press the power button on the Huawei Unlocked Bootloader warning screen. It will take a bit longer to boot than normal. It's completely fine. Just let it be for like 30 secs.
13. Now the Kali Bootanimation will start. Your phone will probably turn off during the bootanimation on your first boot. DON'T PANIC. It's fine. It will automatically restart and boot to your new system.
14. Now open up the NetHunter app. It will ask you for some permissions. It's important to ALLOW all the permissions.
15. After you allowed it all permissions, you can now close the NetHunter app and enjoy your Kali NetHunter
Sorry for my bad English
If you brick your phone, wipe your data and flash everything except the TWRP image again.
It's not my fault if you damage your phone by doing this. Remember that you are doing this on your own risk.
Have fun with your NetHunter on Honor 8

I tried one older build of NetHunter and it worked fine as well, but I'm not sure about the CyanogenMod. I think there are only 4 builds of CM13 for Honor 8 and this one is the newest. But I think the older builds would work too.

Oh, I don't know if there is a build number limitation, but you definitely need MM ROM firmware.

It's not strange because I was on nougat with latest nougat TWRP when I tried the first time. But I rolled back to mm and completed the steps. However, the data partition was encrypted after rebooting to recovery with the new TWRP. I had to format data then reboot to recovery again. You should add this to the guide.

I successfully flashed nethunter on stock Nougat (FRD-L09C432B360).. DriveDroid which is the only thing I want didn't work with stock because it couldn't find USB mass storage. I tried to install it via nethunter instead but it didn't work there either. Might be because I forgot to open nethunter once for setup though..

Can you tell me how you installed Nethunter on FRD-L09? I am pretty new to this android scene , also you know if the fingerprint sensor works normally?

I don't think fingerprint worked if I recall correctly. I installed NetHunter as any custom ROM if I remember correctly.
I have installed it on Stock rom by using Magisk (and root of course). Very simple, very powerful.
