I have greatly enjoyed WhirlEyes' work on the Droid Razr, to multiboot several firmwares on the same device.

Is there any chance of this being ported to the Moto X? Specifically the XT1053?

You'd have better luck working with Tassadar to port MultiRom at this point I'd imagine.

You mean BMM? Unfortunately there no sources available.
Why not ask Hashcode for a SS version for Moto X?

I seem to remember that BMM might stand for Boot Menu Manager, but a search on BMM and Boot Menu Manager comes up with zero threads about such.

Maybe SS means Safe Strap. I've always avoided Safe Strap, but if that's what it takes to get multiboot I'll try it.

PMing Hashcode...

Well, Hashcode suggests I try SS to see if it can work on the Moto X in multiboot. But I have several questions.

I have a Dev phone, so I'm not too worried about most things, but my experience on the Moto X is that you don't have to root it, just fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. Then *POP* you're rooted.

Why can't I do this with SS? The instructions say instead that I first have to be rooted, then download SS.apk and install it. Why can't I just fastboot flash recovery SS.img?

Second, I remember there were alot of particularities about SS, like with some ROMs you had to install them in a particular slot. Still true?

Maybe you should try posting in the correct device forum?

OG RAZR XT912 got 4.4 before S4!

Because I keep hoping that someone with expertise in multiboot will come around. No such in Moto X area.

What are you, the Forum Police?

Question answered: SS does not work on Moto X. Black screen.

And mfastboot doesn't work on Linux either. I don't have Winduhs. Yes I know about
https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B5uAY0sZrRUib0JMZVJGOURzMkU#list
and
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7632904/Mfastboot-4.4.zip
... but it doesn't work.

Code:

# ./fastboot devices
bash: ./fastboot: No such file or directory

{der}

Now I get a scarred-up logo and "Safestrap Disabled" on boot. Hooray for me.

For me it comes up with the sad robot ("Safestrap disabled") and I hit the Recovery button. The screen goes black for 15 seconds then it comes back to the sad robot. If I don't touch it it boots normally after 10 seconds.
