can anyone help me to do this ?.
First uncomment your grub default which mean like this
#Style hidden timeout
Update your grub for showing other grub while boot up
And please follow the instruction https://forum.xda-developers.com/ph...tall-phoenix-os-3-0-2-ext4-partition-t3821121

Hi
Since a few days, I owned a new WeTab to play around with different tablet operating systems.
I'd like to install Windows 8, Android and Ubuntu in parallel and use the new GUI bootloader from Win8 to choose what to boot.
I started with installing Win8 and installed EasyBCD to modify the bootloader
A little test configuration shows the correct function of it.
When I start to intstall Android the fist time, everything was fine, but after installing ubunto the Windows 8 Bootloader turnd from GUI to text mode.
also
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
common Win8DVD repairoptions
can switch back to GUI mode
is there a trick to get the GUI back, because without Keyboard on the tablet it's quite hard to select an option
Ad. Info:
WeTab with 80GB SSD, 2GB RAM
Partition:
sda1 ntfs 350MB Windows Bootloader
sda2 ntfs 20GB Windows Partition
sda3 ext2 200MB /boot for Ubuntu
sda4 extended partition
sda5 swap 4GB /swap for Ubuntu
sda6 ext4 20GB / for Ubuntu
sda7 ext3 4GB / for Android
I don't have multiboot set up on my device, but apparently, setting Windows 8 as the default system in the bootloader will bring back the GUI bootloader, as that actually doesn't reside in the MBR, but is loaded after some very early parts of Windows 8 (presumably touchscreen support).
I don't think the MS bootloader will support doing that, but I'm not posative.
I have a triple boot working fine right now though.(Win8, vista, Ubuntu)
I had vista and Ubuntu installed, I resized my vista partition and used the free space to create an ntfs part, then installed win to the new part(sda2) Sda1 still has the MBR though. After installing windows 8 I lost grub(bootloader), so I used a live disk to boot up and run boot-repair which is a nice GUI to simplify reinstalling the bootloader, and also to configure it.
I left grub to default to Linux though you can tell it to default to win if you like in the options.
Now at boot I get menu from grub which allows me to choose to boot to either sda1, sda2, etc. If I want Ubuntu I choose it from grub, if I want win I choose the partition vista is on(cause that is the place win8 put it's loader. Once I select vita partition my system loads the win loader GUI that lets me choose between vista and windows 8. I would think you can do the same with grub.

you're missing the problem, without a GUI he cannot select a boot option because his tablet doesn't have an inbuilt keyboard!!
try installing windows and whatever else in a fashion that allows the GUI bootloader to stay, then install ubuntu to a partition but tell it to NOT install a bootloader, then try to setup "neogrub" from EasyBCD to boot it using the Windows 8 bootloader.
EDIT: in other words, don't add that "/boot" partition ubuntu loves so much, don't make an ubuntu boot partition, don't install grub, see if EasyBCD's Neogrub can work.
Thanks for the Reply's
I figured out that the light sensor on my tablet can be used as "Arrow Down"-Key so I'm able to use Texed based bootloaders.
However the Win8 GUI loader is nicer than the old school text based one. :-D
well, i had a quick look last night and you can indeed add the neogrub bootloader without losing the GUI loader, after installing neogrub using easyBCD you then just have to write a grub-ish bootscript that tells neogrub how to boot ubuntu, and then you can just touch Neogrub from the Gui bootloader and Neogrub will go straight to booting Ubuntu.
moved to general
I had the same problem and it got soleved by typing:
bcdboot C:\Windows
in an elevated command prompt, which will restore the default BCD settings for windows 8 and it will show the graphical GUI, you can then use bcdedit to do your required modifications because EasyBCD changes made me lose the GUI Boot...
Check this article for more info on restoring GUI Boot:

Install Grub2 to your Linux boot partition but DO NOT format it. Then run
Code:
sudo update-grub
Another solution? I was made separate edit with grub customizer, its work for 1 reboot.....
SOLVED, thx :good:
Hi, need help here. Tried to install this system in my machine and it corrupted the windows boot, and can't boot itself. How I recover my windows boot manager to access my system now?
Based on the limited info posted - I/anyone can only guess.
My guess is that phoenix corrupted nothing - just your default boot manager loader was changed to grub [from WBM] which is needed to run POS/Linux - if that's the case just switch back to wbm via bios/uefi.
If however you formatted the windows partition or something... That was user error
These projects are intended for developers only. If you are familiar with Android phones, you probably know what Little Kernel does. This port of Little Kernel is capable of booting Android Linux Kernel images (though I haven't tested it yet, need to set up the build environment) and ARM64 ELF images on Lumia 950 XL via SCM call. I used it to bootstrap my ARM64 variant UEFI on Lumia 950 XL (not released yet).
Boot Shim is a Windows Boot Manager application that takes control from Windows Boot Manager, loads ELF image, kicks UEFI out and bootstraps it. To use it, you have to unlock your Lumia phone via WPInternals. Then place BootShim.efi to somewhere, and add a new BCD entry (set NOINTEGRITYCHECKS and TESTSIGNING).
Source and binary for Boot Shim: https://github.com/imbushuo/boot-shim (branch msm8994)
Source for LK: https://github.com/imbushuo/lk
Refer to the LK note for Dragonboard 410c for information regarding toolchains, LK build and misc info. Currently, Lumia 930 and 950XL are validated (msm8974-test and msm8994-test-2 branch).
All functionalities in LK is available, including USB and the display panel (though I used passed FrameBuffer pointer from UEFI, which means LK doesn't deal with DSI panel configuration. Hence you have a BGRA8888 FB, not typical to see in Android devices' bootloaders). Fastboot is available. However, the nature of EFI framebuffer forced you to load the kernel at somewhere higher than EFI FB address. If you are going to boot Linux kernel, you'd better take care of this.
Go ahead and see what you can do with Lumia!
Hello,
I appreciate your work. Can you give a brief outline of what changes might be necessary to support Lumia 950s? Unfortunately I have only been able to get hold of a 950. I looked through your repositories and unfortunately nothing stood out.
If I understand properly, the boot process is as follows:
Windows Boot Manager
UEFI
LK
System
Do you know how step 1 is implemented? Can the Windows Boot Manager be replaced? I am aware of the boot process of at least the 410c (I have a DragonBoard) but do not understand how the stages correspond to the WP10 boot process.
Cheers,
R0b0t1
This tool is for Gods.
I appreciate this project.
I had no time and got bored, I bootstrapped Linux kernel from grub2 succesfully on l640xl, but I abandoned it.
So I currently have Win10 and Ubuntu installed each on a separate partition. I installed Phoenix OS through windows and it didn't add up on grub. I have to select Win10 through grub and then when Win10 boots up I have to start Phoenix OS through shortcut which reboots my system to Phoenix OS. What I want is to install Phoenix OS on Ubuntu's partition and add it to grub menu. Anyone kind enough to help me with this? Note that made a bootable Phoenix OS USB but it didn't work (didn't work as it doesn't boot at all, doesn't even detect it).

Used Rufus ? If Rufus can't made live boot possible ,i doubt any other will make .For Ubuntu installation ,check there are various guides around to put Phoenix Os files on root of Ubuntu in seperate folder and edit 40custom to point kernel and initrd
