[EXPERIMENTAL][PORT][RECOVERY][MULTIBOOT]Tassadar's MultiROM v11 for the Optimus V

Okay, this is up now for you brave people to test!
Here's the original thread.
[EXPERIMENTAL] MultiROM v11 (Touchscreen support) - Boot ROM from sdcard
All the important info and how-to-use instructions are in the first two posts of that thread.
If you like it, please go there and click on thanks for Tassadar.
I've given it over a week of testing between v10 and v11 and haven't found a single glitch myself.
So, here you go!
The ported recovery has a kernel compatible with either novatek or hitachi screens, if you're wondering

Previous links are dead, bite me 4shared
here is twrp, cwm, and multirom installer with a working (for now, bite me androidfilehost too,) download folder
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=317349
I'll post more info later (I'm short on time but said I'd get this uploaded today.)
all you really need to know to make it work is in the original thread. Just use these Optimus V files instead of the ones in Tasssadar's post.
I'll edit this and the second post later with more specific instructions.
FYI: This is not a ROM. This is a recovery, and flashable overlay for your boot.img which allow booting from roms on sd-ext or from internal memory.
Please read the original thread before using.
More later! Enjoy.
Oh, yeah.
Standard disclaimer: Flashing your phone may cause bricking.
Don't blame me, or Tasssadar... Just take proper precautions. As the original thread says, BACKUP! Also, never flash a ROM and recovery at the same time, make sure the first works before you flash the second.

extra info:
you can't mix froyo and gingerbread ROMS unless you flash a Xionia or Xionia Redux anykernel over your boot.img first.
The multiROM uses the boot.img kernel for all the installed ROMs, and most kernels are made for either froyo or gingerbread but not both. Xionia kernels are the only exception to that rule I'm aware of.
I'll link to the xionia kernels later, for now it's just a short warning.

Yay, my old login still works! Downloading now, will test and report on both forums.
Edit:: Just saw my post count. Wowsers! I knew I was a lurker but two and half years and this is my first post here!?

Thanks alot for porting this over to the OV! I'm going to test it out as soon as I have an hour or two. Should make things easier when debugging new builds.

Going to try this sometime today I'm pretty sure some will find the original thread guide a bit confusing lol

I'm going to try this over the weekend. It might come in handy for testing builds. Ill try it. Thanks.

unfortunately I'm even wordier than Tasssadar, so when i eventually get time to rewrite the directions and add them to post 2, they probably won't be much more user-friendly.
and it may be a couple days until screenshots and directions show up.
mostly i just wanted the thing up for others to play around with.

True having it up is most important I'll try it sometime today and possibly try making a noob friendly guide if I have some time.

Alright guys i successfully got this to work. Its pretty cool,thanks.My son is freaking out,how i got 2 roms booted at the same time.

Nice to see this, good work By the way, MultiROM Mgr app (in original thread) should work on this device too, but do not use online install/update feature, it is only for LGP500 for now, but I will add support for this phone, too.
Can somebody send me output of "cat /proc/cpuinfo" on your phone?

One more thing - show me output of "ls -l /dev/block" please, just to be sure sd-card has same major number.

Thanks. v13 should be compatible with this phone, do full backup before testing however. It is using files by bigsupersquid.

i put this up for grabs more as a public service than a work-in-progress.
just run the roms like you usually would, and post anything that doesn't work right (unless, of course that item is broken in the rom itself)

Wow, this works nicely.

Oh, I forgot something: If first line in Updater in Mgr app is not "Model: LS670/VM670", do not even try it! It means it did not recognize that it runs on different phone.

Rogue Recovery. What else is there? lol..

I find it completely hilarious that this phone and the development makes no sense.
Like this thread for example. the OP says not to flash with Rogue Recovery, yet THERE IS NO OTHER RECOVERY OPTION AVAILABLE? lol..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1553591
why hasn't anyone said anything to anyone? I've been flashing ICS and GB with Rogue Recovery no problem.
Is this just to frustrate people for fuN
If there is another Recovery available only to the super leet, then fine, but stop saying you can't use the ONLY RECOVERY AVAILABLE. makes no sense. at all.

I find it completely hilarious that this phone and the developement is makes no sense.

Really, that's the sentence you want to use to speak out about something that, in your words, makes no sense?
Also, it would seem they explained how to flash it, not using rogue recovery.
2. Clockwork is the preferred method of flashing this ROM.

I guess I don't understand what you are struggling to understand.

Folks usually recommend using EL29 or EL26 with stock CWM. It's not a "secret" or anything.

I tried to edit it , but I had to wait for 5 minutes due to the over bearing neo-nazi - protection this forum has in place.
It's not the same quality forums from 2010 anymore, That's for sure.
Anyhow, I thank you! Thanks for contributing and answering my question. You're a big help.

Just thought I'd add, I believe in past builds you had the ability to flash using stock recovery but that had been disabled by Samsung, so maybe that's why they mention rogue by name?

Stock ClockWork Mod recovery is available. In fact Rogue Recovery is based off of ClockWork Mod...

The only recoverirs in question are ics rogue recoveries. When wiping it causes some bricks. All gingerbread should be great. Its only ics . But now that you bring it up I will wait for yours. You seem to be awesome at deving right? Cool can't wait!

EL26 and before had both Stock CWM and CWM-ACS chris41g.
I don't remember the earliest CWM-Rogue, but that is the only one being repacked with current kernels as chris41g hasn't checked back in a while.
When people refer to stock CWM, not Rogue, they are usually referring to the stock EL26 CWM repack that chris41g put together.
You can find a collection of stock CWM and Rogue CWM in the Auto Root package. I never packaged in ACS recovery.

And it's only the versions after 1.2.1 that were having issues. Even then must people aren't having issues but due to the isolated instances Steady decided to play it safe and past the warning.
Also, the majority of the issues involved using the Rogue Recovery with CyanogenMod Alpha builds in some form or another (and the alpha builds come with their own slew of warnings).

recovery unable to flash zip files

I recently got a Samsung Epic 4G Touch and immediately flashed the system to ICS, using SFHub's stock rooted FF18.
Phone works great with that rom. But I was trying to apply Kobridge's tweak pack and discovered that recovery is not letting me install .zip files.
I reboot into recovery fine, and can choose "apply update from sd card .zip" fine. I can navigate to the file fine. When I select it though, it immediately switches to an android bot lying down, with its hood open and a red triangle above it.
I then have to pull the battery to re-boot the phone. It boots into normal startup fine, but the tweak has not been applied.
I tried several versions, and other zips, and it doesn't seem to want to let me install anything that way.
Ideas? I'd rather not have to put CWM on the phone or a different rom on the phone just yet.

That is because the install update zips are for official sprint/Samsung upgrades. To flash those you need CWM.

You're going to need CWM or another custom recovery to flash anything on your phone

Now I feel like an idiot. I thought the version I got had a working recovery in it, but you're right - it didn't.
I installed Agat's and it's working fine now.
Thanks for the help!

No problem. Your not an idiot. It's alittle confusing sometimes.

No problem and I agree. You're not an idiot. It's also better to ask questions than it is to end up with a very expensive paperweight because you tried to figure things out on your own like some of us have done.

ROOTED Verizon GS4 & Safestrap ROM install ERROR
Good day everyone!
I seem to have bumped into a problem im hoping someone on here can possibly help with.
I successfully rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 on ME7 and got safestrap installed. I followed all the steps correctly then
I downloaded the Hyperdrive ROM but when I get to the install step for the ROM, it gives me a error saying "The zip cannot be flashed " or something of that matter. Anyone know a way to fix this or work around it?
Anyones help is truly appreciated.

This is the E4GT forum. You need to head over to the S4 forum, specifically the OP for Hyperdrive.

Even though you're in the wrong forum... It sounds like a bad download, try redownloading the ROM.

[ROM] [WIP] [BUILD 6] [9.1.13] Firefox OS (B2G) - NOT ANDROID, SOMETHING DIFFERENT

General Info:
More information about Firefox OS (B2G) is available here and here. So... I saw this and couldn't resist having a little sneaky play around with it. This is NOT a daily driver. This is NOT stable. It's pre-alpha. If you want something to use as a phone, this isn't it. If you just want to use your phone as a phone, you need android rom.
With that aside, and with the clear understanding that while this won't brick your phone, it's nothing to do with me if it did for some reason, or likewise if your cat (or other cute pet) suffers a painful death as a result of flashing this. At your own risk, like everything else here on XDA-Developers!
So without further ado, WTF is this? Well, it's a project from Mozilla (the lovely people behind the Firefox browser). I won't go into details, suffice to say I suggest you read a lot over at their wiki - start off at https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G and work your way through the pages.
These builds can only be installed with CWM!!!

Really nice work, I was looking at giving this a go myself.

So what doesn't work?
That would make it's easier to determine whether to experiment or not!

Oh, the link didnt appears in tapatalk, my bad.

hehe, just tested it out.
Looks pretty awesome, suprised at how fast it boots. Can't wait to see the development for this, looks like it's going well already!

Neat, going to test it out
One massive bug I noticed is that the ROM has no buttons, which makes doing anything difficult, since you can't go back or home

Just to let people know, this will wipe your sdcard folder so take your backup out! ^^

Neato! Can someone post a video of it running on the Gnex?

I will try to fix bugs and will make a new build every weak. Second build will be avaliable as cwm archive without wiping sdcard)
Sorry for by bad english =)

This is great work though, you guys here on xda are incredible. This is EXACTLY why i got a Nexus.

So anyone create a way to have onscreen buttons yet?
I know theres a lot fo you super talented guys out there

I would like to see a video too, as i'm very curious, but I´m fine with my actual rom

Actually theres a few youtube videos of what it looks like. Not great videos but at least an idea of what it is. Honestly it doesnt look super different from Android. At least as far as the interface goes.

flashed it, testet, wanted to revert ... now my sdcard is formated, alle data gone...

Install ROM E4GT FL24

Hello all....
yesterday I rooted my phone with this video
http://www.qbking77.com/development/root-the-samsung-epic-4g-touch.html
originally have stock FL24 ICS 4.0.4
Now i want install a ROM.... but what is better..??
and how i can do...?
also I can install CyanogenMod with FL24 ??
Regards...

Yes you can install CyanogenMod over FL24 4.0.4 ICS. However you need to read the CM threads.
To start you need a safe recovery such as EL26CWM or the EL29Directboot and a PC that you can use Odin to flash the recovery. Direct boot does exactly what it says, once it has been flashed successfully it will boot into recovery. EL26 you will need to hold volume up + power until you see recovery.
Then wipe data/factory reset. Install zip from SD card, select the location it was downloaded to. Select the ROM, and select yes. Now flash the appropriate Gapps. Reboot and profit!
Now that I've done my part, BTW this is a question and all questions belong in the Q&A section. This is the wrong section for questions. Prepare your diddly hole cause the fire has been lit underneath it.

but I have a little issues...
sometimes frezze the phone and I need to restart ....
any solution?

I think your solution would be to spend some time reading through these sections, reading the stickies and all followup posts 1st.
Then reading through the OP of the ROM you wish/are trying to use and then read through all the followon postst there.
The rate you're going you are going to paperweight your device.
Then maybe try the search button.
Seriously there is a TON of information out here.
Also note that just about everything in here comes with caveats, warnings and other provisos and your mileage may vary. The devs and contributors here are fantastic and really provide a whole lot of support but I know they get tired of seeing the same questions asked over and over ad naseum.
Good luck.
