so how to delete a rom installed with bmm? I mean custom rom. sorry for noobs question.

Use a root explorer, goto /data/clockworkmod/virtual and delete the system folder you want to delete.

You need to fxz back to stock ICS, cause you cannot install BMM on cm10.1 it will bootloop. So fxz back to stock ICS and install BMM from playstore. Flash CM10.1 on system 3 - 6.

It is possible to install BMM successfully on cm10.1. You have to flash the patch.

No. You cannot install any recovery on cm10.1. Best way to flash cm10.1, if you are on ICS. Flash Stock ICS or scv7 as your 1st system and then install BMM via playstore. Boot to BMM setup up your 3rd system and flash cm10.1 and apply the patch. (I am not sure if the patch is really necessary with BMM 0.3.4). This way you can have stock ICS or Scv7 as your 1st system and cm10.1 as your 3rd system.

You can install other recoveries on cm10.1 as long as they support custom 2nd init. And you must move the 2nd init to rootfs folder without fail.. if you forget, you will have a bootloop..

Sort of a newbie question. I have an AT&T Atrix2 with stock ICS, rooted and bootstrap installed. I have never tried any custom roms so far.

Is the point of this to allow me to keep the stock ICS as-is and install other Roms in an isolated partition? and I can choose what to boot into?

what are the risks?

Yes you are 100% right. Risks are bootloops if installed incorrectly and possibly bricking your phone. If you do read all the threads and flash correctly you can boot several different ROMS of your choice. I am personally running CM10 and MIUI. All running without any problems.

Don't scare the new guy away

you will only soft brick if you do anything wrong and you can just do an fxz back to ICS.

(make sure it's the right file , or else for sure brick probably hard !)
Happy multi booting!
And Don't install any ROMs on 2nd system except the converted miui. Use 3-6.

Re: [TUT]Get whirleyes BMM 0.3.2 working on our a2

Loving multi booting as well. Running smooth and nice. Just remember to factory reset, wipe and to use correct patches with correct rom versions. The patches get flashed after gapps. So flash 1. Rom, 2. Gapps package, 3. Bmm patch if needed.

Bmm
1. Stock 4.0.4
2. Miui
3. PA 310 4.2.2
4. CMPA 4.1.2

CID Backup procedure?

Ravikirancg said:
WHOA!! So I just escaped a possible brick!

I was on the official JB leak and was experimenting with kexec(with the files meant for ICS).. and that used to mess up my CID.. luckily, I had bmm installed and had a backup of my CID(not through bmm)..
well, bmm automagically found out that my CID was messed, and bypassed it.. later I flashed my CID and luckily, everything was fine..

Hi Ravi - I intend to emabark on using BMM first time ever, Pls see my sig for details, so have I already erased my CID inadvertently? If not then is this the procedure (from Droid Razr) to be followed to backup my CID (I currently have a nandroid backup made using A2 Bootstrap tool-FYI) :

Procedure

1.Backup your cid using terminal emulator.
code: dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p18 of=/sdcard/cid.img (remember this code is case sensitive, copy the code correctly with proper and exact spaces in the lines)
Q. Why to do that?
A. You cannot flash kernel from different region because is protected by MOTO.
When you erase CID partition you can flash US kernel to EU device
every single one device has unique CID number so you have to backup CID partition before you erase it. If you not backup you're not able to restore your unique CID number and you can only boot your device via Power ON + Vol+ Vol- then BP Tools.
This is temporary solution, when Moto release European 4.1.2 most of us restore CID from Backup then we will flash EU kernel and EU system.

1) which atrix 2 do you have? At&t or international?

2) have you already made the backup? I mean before wiping it..

If yes, lucky for you and good.. Just put the img in sdcard, goto recovery-> firmware flashing-> restore cid. Select the file..

If not, sorry, you will have to live with the customer id error.. Just keep bmm installed and it will properly boot up your phone. Of course, if your phone is still in warranty... Pm me..

Hey Ravi,

1) As had mentioned my signature consists extensive details of my phone it is a India purchased MB865 originally now a ME865 after flashing JB 4.1.2 leak 1
2) I have not wiped anything, my query was due to JB flashing does the CID get erased or rewritten by itself?
3) My primary query was based on reply to point 2 was, is the method I posted to backup CID correct for Atrix2? or is there any other easier way?

Thanks for your response.

1) I am on phone and check these on phone. So I can't read what you have in your signature.

2)international MB and ME more or less have no difference.. they are inter convertibles..

3)no. Cid does not get wiped when you flash 4.1.2

4) there is an easier way to backup cid. Install bmm, go to recovery-> firmware flashing-> backup cid. This has to be done when cid is not erased. If its already wiped, and you don't have a backup, nothing can be done..

No issues & wasn't aware you were checking on phone (later saw tapatalk) and hence just clarified. All noted, Thanks!

Running CM10.1 with kexec in combination with BMM

Currently i'am running cm10 with kexec as 3th system of BMM. This can be done moving the files from "bootloader/2nd-boot" tot etc/kexec and renaming the file zimage to kernel.
