Linuxium's Bootloader software to dualboot Android and Linux

[Boocy]

I see what your problem is ... it was designed for using a micro SD card ... so I've modified it to accept an usb device and this should solve you problems and give some additional functionality to others ... see separate post (http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...298#post149298).

Hello, is it possible to boot Android from USB HDD too?

Regards.

You could mod my software but we've moved on from there now and I suggest you look at http://androtab.info/radxa_rock/sdboot/

Did anyone get this to work on a TVstick /TVBox.
Tried it but got stuck at a black screen. Looking to get this working on a K-R42 or T428

I am trying to work it out, I get to kernel image but don't know why it gets stuck there.. :/ ..donn why it does not proceed with booting.. what rom are you porting? and how did you set your parameter file?

Hello linuxium,

is the bootloader as standalone file available, outside the update.img file?
Because i had a Android 4.4 kernel on my stick, and if i flash the update.img with the RKBatchTool, the already installed version will be overwritten with the Android version in the update.img file.

So, how can I keep my already installed Android version and use your great bootloader?

I'm trying it on my T428. Indeed it boots from the SD card, but sofar I either get stuck on the bootscreen or have black screen.
Tried various kernels. Want today to test also the picbubntu as I hope that kernel will show some more text and give indication of what is happening.

Same here, what steps are you doing? How are you getting there?

I managed to get a kernel loaded and running. Besides the ton of errors that is a good start.
I've busybox running on that. Will see if I can make it boot further (as this is running on ramfs)

I made a separate thread for this topic to not hijack Linuxium's thread further.

I did some benchmarks on Measy U4A - http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1...SO-1406234RA15

Android image boots but the UI is unusable and has black background. The cursor moves partially (Mouse) and isn't usable... it's not a Rikomagic

Xubuntu on MicroSD works with wifi even, although it's old. Saucy Salamander upgrade succeeded, Raring Ringtail ended up not fully configured due to some X.org package version conflicts (including nouveau, intel etc. packages which shouldn't be even installed on ARM). What is causing very poor HTML5 video performance (like YouTube) ?

Rk 3066 linux

linuxium,
I read that you are able to substitute ROM/kernel for 802 mkiiis? Would you have a link too a file already done. I'm a noob and don't want to brick my stick. Thankx

hello linuxium, than you for this great work that you do

will flashing the device in bootloader ode erase the android? or will just install the bootloader so it would boot up to option screen and give both systems option to boot?

will this work on devices like cs968? or mk902? (rk3188 with ap6210 chip)?

cheers

JXD S7800b flashing and dual boo

I'm waiting a JXD S7800b game tablet to arrive. It's based on the RK3188 SoC.

Do you know if this will work with that device?
