BOOT MANAGER FOR RAZR, and everything you need to know about it!

I'm hoping someone can give me some clarification. I was running the Leak and decided to flash an AOSP rom in order to use this. The AOKP flash succeeded but it would hang at the motorola screen. I assumed it was due to the new radio that exists in the leak. I had no choice but to flashboot back to 173.

It occured to me that since the boot rom and the second rom must be running the same radio version that it must not be possible to run the leak as a second rom. Is that true?

I planned on running AOKP as the boot rom then run Stock GB and Stock ICS as boot manager rooms. Can I do it. If so what do I have to do to get that that point?

I said that you can't do that multiple times already

I recall reading that you can't run the stock roms as your boot rom but I believe I read a post saying something that if you wanted to run your stock rom then you should make a nandoird backup then install an AOSP rom as the boot rom then restore the nandoid to slot 2. So while you did say the custom roms won't work as a boot rom I don't believe you stated anywhere (that I can find anyway) that you can't use it as a second rom. The only thing that suggested this was your comment about the Radios having to match.

I found the original post. After looking it over it appears that the poster was having a conversation with himself. Its not super clear.

perhaps you are on stock rom actually, right? You have to flash a 2nd-init-Rom (like CM9, AOKP) first before you will be able to use Boot Manager. And then it is not sure that Boot Manager will run correctly on GSM Razr.

EDIT:

Boot Manager runs well on GSM-Razr!!!

If you want to use your Stock Rom beside the Custom Rom, just make a Nandroid backup first. When finished, move the backup folder from ext. SD-Card into your INTERNAL storage. Then follow the steps bellow until step 4. Now click on "Install zip" ---> "restore Nandroid" and choose your backup. Wait until it's finished, done!

1. Flash a 2nd-init-Rom like CM9, AOKP, AXIOM, Gummy, Black Widow
2. Install Boot Manager
3. Go to "Phone Rom" --> "Setup Phone"
4. Click on "Tab Rom 1" ---> "Install Zip"
5. Choose your Rom to install and wait (takes about 20 minutes)
6. Only if needed: Click on "Install zip" again and choose "Gapps" to install it, same for the GSM-Patch!
7. Boot into Rom, done!
8. After reboot into the new Rom, you have to install Boot Manager again (from Store).
9. Now you can switch between your installed Roms

P.S. If you like Boot Manager, please support the Devs and get Pro-Version!



But there is one Problem: I restored my Stock-Rom to tab "Rom 1". But the data is gone and I cannot download anything from store, it says that there is no available memory, but there are 2GB free space on storage. And after every reboot into this Rom all Data is deleted, that means when I set up my Google-account, for example, after next reboot I have to set it up again.
The option resize img's doesn't help. So how can I get my full nandroid backup with all data to this slot? And how to get some free memory on it?

This Problem as regards to Stock Rom! With any Custom Rom there will be NO problem!

Boot Manager runs well on GSM, when using Custom Roms, that're based on ICS. You can't run an Stock as 2nd Rom, because you can't write on it. It is how it is.

The new nightlies from CM9 also not work with the GSM-Patch and i think Akop will follow. So nice Custom-Time is over 4 GSM and there's no need 4 BM till there's a solution.

Could a gsm user please pm me your gtalk and we'll work on any issues it's having.

Is there anyway can we push 2.intd manually on GSM stock ROM?

On Black Widow it runs great, so it must be an Problem with the J.Y.Rom i think.

But the Rom's great, so i'd like to run it as my Phone-Rom and set Widow to Rom 1.

Yes & Yes

Downloaded it out of Store before trying.

Tested now on Widow, J.Y., and the new Gummy 1.0.

All the same. Gets closed, when hit install.

Guys, i think something is wrong with my RAZR.

I rooted the device yesterday and tried Razrbootstrap and it didnt work.

The only recovery that is working (or at least giving a sign) is safestrap but again i cant manage to get any ROM booting. they all show black screen.

I uninstalled the safestrap recovery and install the ROM manager now.

As I mentioned before, the ROM Manager is taking a lot of time to Setup and I am running on stock ROM. 2.3.6 updated via OTA.

Please let me know what to do now in order to run customer ROM on my phone.

PS: I have no idea how to backup the nandroid or flash a 2init ROM.

So please guide me.

Thanks in advance
Patrick

I am running Gummy 1.0 as Phone ROM and when I installed my Eclipse ROM Nandroid it had no data etc.. like you were saying and no memory left.. ;/...

Any Idea on how to fix this?

Remember to setup

Awesome app! Thank you so much for bringing it to the razr.

Posting for noobs like me on this. Please remember to do the "Setup Phone" on your Phone ROM before moving to your secondary roms.

I didnt do it the first time I switched roms, but fortunately there is a fail safe through CWM to solve it (watch the video).

Again awesome app. 5 stars!

Guys, currently there is no ability to run GB ROMs in one of the slots. It would result in a system with no memory left which acts like factory reset after every reboot. There would also be no ability to downloads apps from store. So don't try it, it's a well known bug.

For those who have seen the errors about not being able to download the device libraries: the dev told me they aren't necessary for the RAZR, that's why there is nothing at the server.

Patrickminas: I wouldn't suggest to start with bootmanager before you got CWM working. It is a highly recommended safety net, which prevents you from being forced to flash by RSD again whenever something went wrong.

Any news? If you still want, I'll pm my gtalk to help you.

Can someone confirm that Boot Manager will no longer work on the Razr after the ICS OTA is installed? It seems that the case but I want to make sure before I go back to Safe Strap.

Yeah, doesn't work on ICS yet

Bummer. I was just starting to research as to if the current ROM I chose on my new RaZr MaXX: Artic HD / ICS would work with Boot Manager as I had bought it and enjoyed it on my old Droid X.
