[Guide] Multi Boot Note 5
- Thread starter 54NJ41
- Start date
First of all when flashing the recovry, which rom were you using (primary or secondary). if you where on secondary just switch to primary rom and then flash the moded recovery. and dont reboot directly to the rom, first reboot to the recovery and check recovery is booting properly. if it is then boot to your primary rom. then try to switch to secondary. if you get any trouble while booting to secondary rom then flash the patched kernel and try again.

Hi dude,
download from http://twrp.me/ the latest 3.0.2-2 for our noblelte and flash with ODIN, then your App, works very well, now I'm switching from first and second (and vice) witch a click.
Now I'm learn to share app from first to second, and the App ask me to update mbtool.
What about this? Any piece of advice?
Thank you so much.
For some it was not working that's why I moded the recovery.
Go to primary rom and open dual boot app go to rom and go to the settings of the primary rom then update ramdisk.
The start sharing apps. And for your information it will wipe app data of the shared app.
Yes I did.
It started but never finished.. I must kill the app then switch on secondary rom the MultiBoot App advice that the MD5 of the primary is changed, after that I must flash the kernel.
If you have any piece of advice is good by the way, it's perfect!!
Never faced any issues like that. Which kernel you are using on primary rom.Yes I did.

Try flashing a different kernel for your primary rom and try again to update ramdisk.

I'm pretty sure that the dual boot app has trouble modifying the new se android policy on 6-01 and up kernels from Samsung. the dev for the app is aware and working on a solution. Maybe fix on 8.1 release soon. fingers crossed !Hi i have a problem but i dont know where is my mistake

33[Guide] Multi Boot Note 5
I am using this on SM-N920C of the Note 5; I believe this will work with other Note 5 Variants as well. Sprint variant already confirmed. Others who have different variants which are not tested can try this and update us, and we will be here to help you out if you are ready to try this out.
@chenxiaolong is the one who made this happen to our beloved Note 5
Main advantage of this is you can try any new rom with out loosing or having any kind of trouble with your existing rom. This mod will not change anything in your primary rom, so any time you can go back to your normal state.
Disclaimer
1.I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,etc.
2.Before going further! YOU are choosing to make these modifications.
supported Devices: ( Tested and confirmed working)
SM-N920C : noblelte (Tested by me )
SM-N900P (Sprint): nobleltespr (Tested )
Requirements
* Read the full guide before Starting.
* Backup your phone if you are doing this first time. (Full Nandroid backup recommended for the new comers and it’s also recommended to others who don’t know what they are doing exactly even if they have multi booted several times)
* Rooted Note 5 with custom recovery (preferred TWRP or philz).
* free space in your internal SD (for example a TW rom could take up to 6.5GB )
* If you face any trouble please read the FAQ before doing something or asking for help. And if you want help please provide as much as details(device, roms, etc.) you can.
*
Instruction:
1.Download your desired Rom which you want to use for multi booting and the mods, addons, Kernel etc for the same. Keep the files in your internal memory.
2. Download the most recent snapshot release of Dual Boot Patcher and install it on your Note 5.
3. Open Dual Boot Patcher and grant SU permission. Then go to ROMS and you will see your Primary rom, press the 3dotmenu key and click "set kernel".
4. Then In Dual Boot Patcher go to Patch Zip File and Choose nobleltespr - samsung galaxy note 5 from the device drop down menu.
5. In the Partition configuration drop down menu select "Data Slot".
6. Below that you have to enter the ID of the secondary rom.(Example 1, 2, 3, etc. - it will take it as /data/multiboot/data-slot-1)
7.Now tap on the below button to choose the ROM's, Kernel and mods to patch them and make them perfect for Multi booting.
8. Always remember to keep same slot ID for the kernels and mods same as the rom. (Example: if you want to flash the kernel to the data-slot-1 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 1 or if you want to flash the kernel to the data-slot-2 rom then you have to select the same ID that’s 2.)
9. Now press the tap to begin patching button to patch the file. And you will get a new patched zip file in the same location.
10. patch the kernel also for your rom with same id because most if the roms comes with out kernel so we have to patch the kernel and flash it along with the rom.
11. Now Boot into custom recovery and flash the new patched rom followed by the patched kernel without wiping anything and reboot.
12. And your device will boot into New Rom.
13.Install the Dual Boot Patcher app and set the kernel for your second ROM as well.
14. To switch between roms
•Open Dual Boot Patcher app/roms and click on primary or secondary rom as you like and reboot.
* Important things to keep in mind: while installing a rom or mod with Aroma installer don't reboot directly from the aroma.
You have to always uncheck the last option to reboot in aroma and click finish. So it can finish the final steps for multi booting.
And if you miss that it will only reboot to recovery. To boot back you have to flash your primary rom kernel or re-flash the patched rom.
Never update a secondary rom through OTA Update.
Revert
To revert back or if you face any problem just flash my Multi Boot cleaner.zip which will wipe all the installation files from \system and restore the primary rom kernel.
As a backup keep a copy of your kernel flashable zip file.
FAQ
1. App sharing?
Ans. Will be added shortly.
3. This rom can’t be patched.
Ans. some roms are not supported its known, if the Dev have time may be he will consider including them.
4. I am getting error while using the dual boot app.

My Primary ROM: khongloi_Note7_v15
1 - go into root explorer edit your build.prop and change all nobleltetmo to noblelte
2 - add this to the end of your build.prop: ro.patcher.device=noblelte
and then reboot normal
3 - follow the instructions #1 OP and download dualboot apk
Maybe some things have changed due to app updates.
This video helped me a lot, you have to choose the option note5 sprint It's the only note5
https://youtu.be/_jyqfAcqO4g3
It will work with s6 also. You can follow the same instructions.
In the device drop down you have to select s6 flat/edge.
And the rest is same as note 5 guide.
if there is more requests, i can make a guide for s6 as well. for that i need a tester to confirm its working. i know its already working. but just in case. also as long as the moderators allows i will give support for that thread.3Thanks for creating this thread! I just got myself an S6 Edge+, so expect top-notch support for these new Galaxy devices3
