Check your code : (hd0, 2) with space ---- this is wrong
Original Code : (hd0,2) without space ---- this is right

I think just watch video again.
and Format Your partition and again mount/extract iso and copy all file to your partition drive.
Then open easybcd click on add new entry > click on neogrub > click on remove, Then again click on install wait few second, click on configure and and paste this code : https://cldup.com/zcR0lBzl_T.txt (note change your partition number) and save the file...
Reboot again.....
I hope your problem solved !

Create Partition as NTFS or Fat32 (Any you want) - if you aready created don't do this step but format again partition.
Extract/Mount Remix OS ISO and Copy All content and Paste into your Created Partition
Now Open EasyBcd and Click on Add New Entry > Click on NeoGrub > Click on Install(if you already installed click remove) wait a second, after install click on Configure then Copy this code : https://cldup.com/zcR0lBzl_T.txt (note change your partition number) and Save File.
Now go to Edit Boot Menu > Double Click on NeoGrubXXXX name and change to Remix OS(Any you Want) and click save setting.
And Reboot, Boot Remix OS.

How to Install Remix OS to HDD using Grub2 for Windows [Noob Friendly Tutorial]

READ EVERY SINGLE LINE CAREFULLY AND DO EXACTLY AS I HAVE WRITTEN IT DOWN. FOLLOW IT TO THE LETTER AND YOU WILL HAVE REMIX OS ON YOUR SYSTEM IN NO TIME.​
THINGS REQUIRED:
1) Grub2 for Windows (Open Source/Free)
Link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/grub2win/files/
2) Remix OS for PC (Courtesy of Jide)
Link: http://www.jide.com/en/remixos-for-pc
3) BIOS with legacy boot option. NO LEGACY = NO FUN. Simple as that. Can't help you there.
Note: If you have an Acer laptop, there is a very high chance that you have it. My laptop is a 2014 version, it still has legacy boot option, so chill.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
4) 8Gb or more USB Pendrive or Memory Card in a Card Reader.
STEPS FOR INSTALLATION:
STEP 1 : CREATING HARD DISK PARTITION
a) Create a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) partition. For this, right click "My PC"/"My Computer" > Manage
b) Go to the "Disk Management" section.
c) Let the window initialize. Once it does that, right click one of your drives which has a large amount of free space.
d) Select "Shrink Partition".
e) Select the amount you want for android. Example, 1000 value means 1 GB, so 30000 means 30 GB. Enter this value or any value you want. Select Next.
f) In this window, select "Fat32" option. Click Next.
g) Keep clicking next, next until the window closes.
h) Congrats! You are now the proud owner of a new partition.
STEP 2 : MAKING BOOTABLE REMIX OS USB DRIVE
a) Make the bootable "Remix OS" flash drive using the tool provided in the official zip file.
b) Once done, reboot.
STEP 3 : PREPARING THE BIOS
a) Just as the computer begins to start, keep pressing F12.
b) In the BIOS menu, go to "Boot" tab and select "Legacy" option. Disable "Secure Boot".
c) Change the "Boot Order" by making the flash drive being above HDD.
d) Press F10 to save and reboot.
STEP 4 : FIRST TIME INSTALL
a) In the menu that follows, go to "Resident Mode" and press "Tab".
b) At the end of the line that apprears, write "INSTALL=1" without the double quotes.
d) Choose "FAT32" when it asks you to which format method is to be used.
e) Follow the instructions and when it asks you to install "Grub Bootloader" and "EFI Grub Bootloader" select "Skip"
f) Let it install.
g) Follow the instructions on the screen.
STEP 5 : GETTING THE INSTALLATION FOLDER NAME
1) Reboot.
2) Go to the drive in which you installed your remix os.
3) Since we formatted it to a Fat32 format, windows will be able to open it. Good. Go ahead and open it.
4) There will be a folder created, named something like "android...." with a date or reversed date. Cool. Copy the folder name. We will need it.
5) Go to your Grub2 installation and write these lines in the "conf" file:
Code:
Android
menuentry 'Remix OS' {
set root='(hd0,6)'
linux /android-2015-12-31/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC=/android-2015-12-31
initrd /android-2015-12-31/initrd.img
}
Note:
a)My sda number was 6. Meaning, primary hardisk, partition number 6.
b)The folder that my remix installation created was named "android-2015-12-31". So, I copied it and pasted it in the code above. Just replace your folder name here. Make sure to type the correct sda number.
c) If your harddisk does not have sda number, but something like "msdos", then replace sda with "set root=(msdos,partition number)". That shoud do it.
4) Save and reboot.
STEP 7 : INSTALLING REMIX OS WITH MAX STORAGE
Now, since we need maximum space for remix, we will install remix again, but this time with "ext4" format.
Wondering why we installed it first using Fat32 format? Well, good question. The reason is that we needed to find the folder name. Without it, we cannot boot remix os. So, we formatted it to fat32 which windows can read, so that we can open the drive and get the folder name. Simple as that.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1) Repeat Step 3 , except that when it asks you to which format to use, select "Ext4" for maximum storage.
2) Continue with the setup.
3) Reboot.
STEP 7 : BOOTING REMIX OS
1) When it asks to choose OS, select "Grub2 for Windows".
2) Select Remix OS.
3) Enjoy Remix OS.
FAQ:
Q1) I have no legacy option. How to get it?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A) If you dont have a legacy option, then you are screwed. Can't help you there.
Q2) Are you an idiot? Why did you give a nonworking method when you know we have no legacy boot option?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A) Legacy boot option provides the most easiest way to install any android os, be it Phoenix OS, Remix or even x86 Android Project ROMs. So, if you don't have it, you can always use the EFI based ROMs.
Q3) I messed up my device because of you. Now what should I do?

Click to collapse
A) I have done nothing. All the work was done by the superb guys and gals at http://www.android-x86.org/ . So, donate to them to keep them alive. Also, JIDE team forked their project and made their OS. So, support them too.
How do I know the sda?
Hi I don't have an option to press Tab on the Resident/Guest mode page, it doesn't do anything. I don't know if it's a difference between the Legacy and EFI versions of Remix OS (I'm using the EFI version, by the way). I was able to press 'e' to "edit selected item", but adding INSTALL=1 just caused an install error. Secure boot is off.

During the installation, it will show you a list of hard drives. There, it will also show you the hard drive number, like sda1,sda2 etc. Choose any one greater than 6. Anything less will harm your windows installation or your EFI partition.

Use the cursor keys to select resident mode, press TAB on the keyboard and write "INSTALL=1" at the end of the line that appears on the screen. Simple.
this methode work great, thank

I also did it this way, only added a "DEBUG=" at last position of the line.
But, normally you don't need it.
Hi, I have a dual booted machine (windows 8.1 and kali 2.0) and i'm wondering, is there any way i can triple boot with remix and if so, how do i go about it??
I've already a EXT4 partition, where reside Linux atm... I should convert in FAT32? Or I can use it in EXT4?
If I format that partition I lost my Grub, so when Android ask for install grub I should say yes?

Adding "DEBUG=1" means that you want a log of what is happening behind the scene. Only useful if the remix installation is not booting up.

I am quadruple booting it, if that even makes any sense. I have a partition of ubuntu, one for windows, one for android lollipop android x86 rom and one for remix. So, yes, you can safely triple boot it. Use the method I told above, or if you dont have legacy boot, I cant help you there.

Here are the things to keep in mind:
1) If you are using linux as your primary os, this method wont work for you, or atleast I dont know about it.
2) If you have a partition for linux, leave it as is and make a seperate partition.
3) ext4 is supported, but dont format it before hand. Let the USB installer format it. Use a fat32 format in the beginning so that you can differenciate between the different partition of your system. Then, in the install screen, choose that fat32 partition and choose ext4 format for it. It will automatically format it to ext4. No further headache required.

No boot without a log.
Btw.
For those, who are using Linux as primary OS and also have already installed Grub...
I haven't tested it - but it should work.
You can try to install Remix with this method here, but don't let Remix install it's Grub.
After this is done, boot into Linux and run a "sudo update-grub" in terminal.
This should find Remix and put it in boot-options as new OS next to the others.

Yeah but I want to overwrite Linux because I'll format later. So Remix grub doesn't recognize windows?

I thought you want to keep Linux too.
Sure it will find Windows.
In this case, you can use the installer from Remx and let it install it's Grub.
It will be the best to format Linux-partition before you start to install Remix, because then Grub only have Remix and Windows as boot-options and you will not need to edit or re-run Grub again.
Also, you could use the Linux-partition and install Remix in it.
But, if you will use ext4 format as Remix-partition, you can't do changes in Grub within Windows, like boot order. You then will need terminal app in Remix to do this.
If something will go wrong (i.e. no boot), re-run Remix-installer and re-install Grub.

[Fix] Error 15: File not found (Remix OS boot error)

Have you ever had this (Error 15: File not found) while trying to boot Remix OS?
You don't need to worry because I have found a solution to this problem.
No reinstallation of Remix OS is needed.
Okay, let's get started:
First boot into windows.
Then go to the drive where you installed your Remix OS.
Open the "RemixOS" folder.
Find "menu.lst" file
Click on that file and then press CTRL + C
Check this image for sample [Replace (dot) with . dot symbol] imgur(dot)com/nFwkEvG.png
Press BACKSPACE on your keyboard (to go out of the RemixOS folder)
Press CTRL + V to paste the "menu.lst" file.
Check this image for sample [Replace (dot) with . dot symbol] imgur(dot)com/qyr8qCY.png
Now restart your PC and boot into Remix OS
And your done!

Didnt work for me .
Still getting the error despite menu.lst being in the root top level of my drive.
Tried 32bit and 64 bit versions. Ran #chkdsk on the drive and basically tried every suggestion i could find related to this error but just cannot get it to boot!!
didn't solve on win 7 64bit, on an old HP netbook. zero bios conflicts.
I did exactly that and the error sustains
Does it have anything to do with installing on a dynamic disk?

The official installer doesn't install into an Android folder; so I don't think you installed correctly.
However if you find your grub.cfg [or menu.lst] and change it to --set--root /Android/kernel you should be fine.
If you can't find the grub/menu.lst then add a file called system.img to the Android folder [copying and renaming the initrd.img is probably the simplest way to do it]
@percynguyen92 are you sure u used the official installer? Did you install Remix OS before with unofficial methods?

Ah with legacy/bios it's menu.lst - not sure how to get to that. I do think you are loading the grub you used previously with easybcd rather than the one instaaled with the jide tool. So ideally boot to your bios and see is there a different boot entry you can launch. Alternatively as said before add a blank/garbage file called system.img into that folder - grub just wants to find it; it will actually use the system.sfs to run Remix [or you can press e on every boot and change system.img to system.sfs]
@percynguyen92 like HypoTurtle said - your PC instead of trying to start current Remix, starts alpha because of the old bootloader files /boot entries. It's probably just the old menu.lst file.
I don't know much about legacy booting, but you should be able to fix this with EasyBCD or by accessing the bootloader files and wiping the alpha version files.

i will try debug mode tomorrow
I also had this issue, once I tried to install Android x86 on my PC and I think it fu*ked something in boot...
Today I fixed it finally....
With this command:
Code:
bootsect /nt60 SYS /mbr
I'm not sure if it will work when Windows is booted, but I've used Windows install disc, booted it, and somewhere in repair PC is also command option....

Here is a step by step guide

But in step 4, do not type those 4 commands (bootrec ....). but type command from my previous post, wait until it is done, close command window and reboot....

You should also be able to restore the bcd [like what this does] with EasyBCD itself.
okay, i'm gonna buy a SSD, just money problem now. May be change hard drive and fresh install Windows 10 may fix this issue. Thanks guys!

Windows 10 update- lost boot menu

Hi all. I'm looking for a bit of help restoring my boot menu. Win 10 decided to update and now my Asus VivoVM42 only boots directly into Windows. No longer do I have the option to select Remix. In my bios, "other os" is enabled.
My remix partition is still there (R:\) along with all its data, I just need some help getting the (grub?) boot menu to show up again.
Excuse my ignorance, I only know enough to get into trouble. I can follow directions well.
Thanks in advance.
How were you booting to Remix before (do you know which bootloader)? If you have a UEFI BIOS, you could use EasyUEFI (or similar) to set up a boot entry. Once done you would then need to set up your BIOS boot order, or hit the hot key that shows the boot options, just the same as if you wanted to boot from USB.
If you were using Grub or Lilo or similar then you need to re-install that, but will likely need to set up the entries.
I use the UEFI option myself... If you want more specific instructions then let me know.

instructions
From within Windows
Download and install EasyUEFI
Launch EasyUEFI as admin
Click on "Manage EFI Boot option"
Click on "create an new entry" button, it is the second from the top, in the middle
Select type "other"
Description "remix"
Select the parition on which Remix OS is installed
Then in the file path section, browse to "\efi\boot\bootx64.efi"
Now when you reboot you should be able to hit the relevant key for your device which brings up the boot menu. Select Remix and boot.
I used the remix installation tool included in the zip file from jides site and installed remix on a partition. So the boot loader is whatever is included with that?
I can navigate from within Windows to:
R:>remix os>efi>boot
And I do see the bootx64.efi file there
I'll give your instructions a try in a bit to add remix to the boot options
Thanks for the help so far

That file is always present *in case* the host system needs it. My instructions will only work if your system has a UEFI style BIOS. If you post the make/model/version I can have a look. Otherwise you will need to reinstall Grub, which is also not too difficult.
Here's some pics of the bios and what happens when I select Remix in the boot options.
I just noticed I was in the wrong directory
R:>efi>boot (folder is empty)
So it looks like whatever was there was wiped out.
Solved-
Rather than attempting to fix the loader, I downloaded the newest version of remix, ran the install tool on the same partition and kept user data. All is the same as I left it.
Back in business.
Thanks again for trying to help, much appreciated.

Which version of EasyUEFI you are using as i think latest version don't support editing / adding boot menu entry now.
I wanted to keep windows Loader as the main and want to chainload grub entry in that triend multiple options but no success.
Could you please help me with that. I am using windows 10 x64 (UEFI) and my laptop model is Sony SVE15127CN

The latest version (2.7) definintely still works. It can be downloaded here http://www.easyuefi.com/downloads/EasyUEFI_Free.exe you will need to run it as Administrator. The website offers other similar tools, but that is the one you need.
If you set Remix up as a UEFI boot option, using the method I mentioned then you don't need Grub.
The only drawback is that you seem to *need* to use the FAT32 filesystem, which has a filesize limit of 4GB, limiting the data.img file size, which acts as the filesystem in Remix. If you format the drive in NTFS, then you can't set up a UEFI bootloader from it. I am trying to find a workaround for this now as my Remix installation is "full".

Question Android Automotive 11 on raspberry pi 4

Hi,
I have been recently working on ways to boot AA 11 in Raspi 4 (4 GB) via manual build. Having followed all steps till build, when creating partitions and flashing each individual image to the partition
1. SDX1 -> boot files (manual copy setting boot flag)
2. SDX2 -> linux partition -> system.img
3. SDX3 -> linux partition -> vendor.img
the raspberry boot to the gradient wheel and resets, need to know how do i debug the issue or make the individual files as a single .img file for flashing via pi-imager
Thanks in Advance,
Patric

The image booted okay for me. However, it flickers now and then (tried two different displays). And most of the features do no work (e.g. calling, clicking on a contact doesn't do anything; maps do not load even after Bluetooth internet tethering to my phone).
Are you experiencing the same?
For those with success with the snapp image, did you have to do anything special? I downloaded it, used the raspberry image writer to write it to a 64gb sdcard (only one I have on hand, it works with raspbian) and attempted to boot. It shows the rainbow screen but then a blank screen. Is there anything I need to do? I am using the 8gb version of the board.

I had the same issue at first. Changing the display worked for me (I was using a waveshare 4.3" display, changed to my computer monitor and it showed up).

Thank you - I was trying with the official 7" touch screen. I tried again with the micro HDMI but it also didn't work - but I will look further to display related settings and see if I can spot anything.

Hi i will point you to the easy way to do it .
1-create SD card the same way you have created the first one
but put in mind to use the smallest capacity sd card that can hold the three partitions
the smaller sd card you use will help you creating smaller.img
2- use software called Win32DiskImager to make img file of your sd card.
3- And walla you have one image file .
note : you may add auto resizing script to Expand File System after installation.
or just let user do it manually using raspi-config .
if my answer is helpful please use thanks button
and consider send me pm of created img for self use
