I'm trying to boot Remix OS Legacy version on a Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop, from a San Disk 16GB USB 3.0 drive. I've downloaded and burned the Remix OS to the USB twice but all I get is a Boot Loop.
The PC starts booting and I get the option to boot in Resident Mode or Guest Mode. Doesn't matter which I choose, it gets to the point in the screen shot below and the PC simply reboots over and over.
I've checked the BIOS and can't find anywhere to disable secure boot or anything like that. Any help or ideas Thanks!

When your pc starts, keep pressing F2 key. You will enter the BIOS menu. Go to the boot tab, select "Legacy Boot" mode and disable "Secure Boot". Change the boot structure from HDD to FDD. Press F10 to save and reboot. Done.

Ah, but you didn't say search harder. You just reiterated what I'd already been doing.
I guess that old PC isn't gonna run Remix.

My nine year old ****ty laptop has legacy boot, dude, how is it possible you dont have it. If not, get an update from the motherboard's official website.
For example, some acer laptops did not have legacy boot mode, so, they released an update to it on their official website. Maybe, your manufacture did it too.

Do you really think that all the brands release updates for their bios?
Most of them don't! The one for my motherboard ends at 24/11/2010....

Well, thats potato. No remix for you.
Well, how about dual booting? YOu can always try my grub2 method. I have posted it in the forum.

Well don't look anymore for secure boot because Inspirons don't have/support it.(Under system information mine says unsupported) I don't have any ideas/recommendations for you other than to redownload and reburn to usb because on my Inspiron all I had to do was change the boot priority order in the boot menu and whenever the usb is plugged in I boot to it.
I think Remix is still in alpha stage. From other side, there is to many diferent hardware, and it is hard to support all of them. My experience: I have Toshiba Satellite L775D AMD quad core wit AMD Radeon 6520G hd and 6GB RAM. I am very familiar with instalation of OSs on hdd, I have 4 Linux distros, 1 Android x86 and 1 Windows 10 on same hard drive (multi boot, runing GRUB from Arch Linux), but I can't boot Remix. Also, I can not boot Android x86 Lollipop and Android x86 Marsmellow. I can boot Android x86 KitKat and have one installed on hdd. From other side, on my wife Acer Aspire, I can boot all of these stuffs.
Sory dude, but I think you simple have no luck with your hardware and Remix. Maybe things will be better in future for you (and for me).

Same with me still, with beta
Workaround for dell inspiron is to use PlopKexec boot manager. Don't know if it will work for HDD but I got USB 32bit version working on my Dell inspiron 1545 using it.
32bit works for me!
Got an old Dell GX620. 64bit gave endless loop symptoms. 32bit works like a charm! :good:
My Toshiba Sattelite C50d-a-13w can boot remix and android x86(_64) from 5.1 to 7.1 ...................
I realize that this is way overdue, however Dell laptops back then did not support secure boot, and while they did support both UEFI, you could not enable or disable either, you just had to manually specify each time you boot from USB what you wish to boot (and Dells use F12 for manual boot).
As to whether RemixOS boots or not, that is down to the specific hardware and OS version.
I have an Intel DH55HC motherboard, and Remix OS booted on it without issues, until the last versions, where it would keep failing to boot.

I noticed From my Testing to this Build that Normal Format of the USB will not work and some how the remix installer is being crazy and when I try to reinstall remix it retrieves back everything I had in the USB
so please call do a full format not the quick one on windows so that all the data will be gone and the old partitions will be gone and then try to re install the new beta version.
and who ever wants to get the latest OTA update released Marsh 15 they should enable the testing versions in the update settings.
this is just a small feed back who ever wants more info or have faced any problem please feel free to ask. :good:
I didn't believe it but I gave it a try and...it fixed all my problems to reinstall Remix OS on the same USB key. Thanks !!!

Hey I had an iball i701 with uefi bios
I downloaded the os from the torrent provided by jide
I installed the os in a pen drive and 14.5 GB turned into 3.5 gb
I went in uefi boot settings and turned the boot option 1 to USB sandisk
But the os is not booting up its simply booting up to win10
Any ideas?

Yeah you have to make sure that you enable the old boot menu and then press either F8 or F9 or F10 or F12 depending on your computer and then select the USB as the first boot option.
SOLVED The problem was that dev_boot_legacy and dev_boot_usb had been disabled. Without getting into ChromeOS there seemed to be no way to set them until I found a guide titled "Workaround for battery discharge in dev-mode" (I cannot post links yet). It worked like a charm and I've just booted into Linux Mint off USB.
I've been running Linux on my Acer C720 since day one and I love it, but a recent series of events has left me locked out of it. I'd love to get it running again but I cannot figure out a way back in. I'll break down a short history and recent events.
Acquired C720 and unlocked developer mode.
Installed several flavors of Debian, completely removing ChromeOS from the SSD, eventually settling with Arch Linux.
After enjoying Arch for a year decide to try out Qubes.
Something fails during Qubes installation.
Boot into a Debian live environment from USB. Debian cannot see my SSD.
Try a few different distros from USB, but fdisk et al. cannot see my SSD.
Now I highly doubt that Qubes broke my SSD. It was probably already faulty but my Arch install was chugging along and not using the bad sectors. This is where I think I locked myself out, I don't remember the exact order of things but I re-enabled OS verification at the boot screen, and attempted to run the ChromeOS recovery from a USB. The ChromeOS recovery also failed. I put the SSD in my desktop and confirm that it was indeed dead.
So now I have a Chromebook with OS Verification enabled and no SSD to restore ChromeOS on. Bummer. But I figured I could try some things, so I booted into recovery mode with Esc-Refresh(f3)-Power and hit Ctrl+D at the Recovery Screen, success! I was able to disable OS Verification. But this has not solved my issue...
When I boot I can press Ctrl+D to be taken to a screen that tells me Chrome OS is missing or damaged and to insert a recovery USB. If I insert a USB loaded with Linux I am told "The device you inserted does not contain Chrome OS." I have no m.2 SSD to put into the chrome book to recover it and start the process from a virgin state.
What I'd like to do at this point is use the Chromebook running my OS from a USB stick, at least until I can afford a new SSD which will not be for some time. Is there any way for me to do this?
have you tried Chrubuntu?

I have, but I have no interest in keeping ChromeOS around. The problem is solved anyway.
Hi,
I installed Remix OS for PC on my Asus N750 laptop. I installed it the "official" way on my SSD with Remix OS installer. It installed ok, but it took arround an hour until i could boot into it. Now, when i restart my computer and pick Remix OS to boot, it doesn't boot in 15min. I don't want to wait 15 min every single time to boot into it. Do you guys have any idea what is going on?
Thanks
@miHah whoa that's a surprise - 15 mins on an ssd? Are you not exaggerating this?
You should report this issue directly to Remix team - the form is on the jide website.

Yea, its true. It stays on "booting GRLDR" for about 10min, than screen goes blank for 5-10mins, after that my comp goes straight to sleep. When I wake it up Remix OS is ready to use. Really strange. How long does it usually take to install Remix OS ? Because that process was about 60min long.
EDIT: I don't think it is Remix OS problem but GRUB or boot or bios or whatever. I don't know much about that tho.
HDD
I run a little more than dual-boot on my diagnostic laptop. I have the primary as Windows 10, then I have some FAT32 to emulate a Flash Drive (To install whatever need be without dragging out my USB drives) then around 150-200 GB into the HDD I have Remix OS. Past that I have Boot and various Linux distributions. I've noticed that when the Remix boot partition is past the ~100 GB mark it acts a little squampy. Maybe 5-10 minute load time. An hour is insane. What you *could* to is make the core Windows 10 OS take say 64 gb then set the boot for Remix OS directly after that. Heck, put the whole thing there. Then, once you have both operating systems running and operable, partition the rest of the hdd like a (D drive and just install anything you need there.
P.S. I have a x64 processor, however when I try to run the x64 version of Remix, I get some serious bugs. I have to run the x86 version for some silly reason.
Hope you find this information useful. Let me know if you have any questions.
Ok, so here's the run down. I can install/run off a USB Phoenix OS and the Android X86 versions off any of my computers at home. But Remix OS will hang forever on the "Remix OS" splash screen. Since Phoenix and Remix are variants of Android x86, what could be the differentiating factor?

Try the 32 bit version... Had this and it worked for me.

Yes, I tried this too. Unfortunately, no dice.
@K387 it's probably the GPU handling. Remix OS handles GPU drivers differently from the rest Android-x86 forks.
Try adding: "androidboot.swrast=1" or "EXTMOD=radeon" or "EXTMOD=nouveau" to grub kernel line. Do NOT mix these together.
You didn't mention the basic info needed in troubleshooting this kind of problems - device model, CPU model, method of installation, install to USB/HDD?
RemixOS main system are "seamlessly" different from other Android-x86, Remix has different drivers which some have incompatibility with some hardwares (and it was the one which preventing me from booting via my Laptop's HDD).
If you can stuck on bootloop at 64bit version, that means that you are ran RemixOS on right hardware but it have incompatibility with drivers and your hardware. After all, if you ran 64bit on 32bit Processor, you will just end up at "Minimal BASH-like command... " or it wont boot up anyway.

Hi there people!
Im having sort of an exotic trouble installing android X86 8.1 on an older PC. This one has ASRock H61 Board (UEFI) and im installing on SSD as SingleOS. When installing from UEFI BootStick and putting Grub2 (in UEFI disabled Secureboot) there is in UEFI Bootoptions "Android..." As choosable option. Booting this, nothing happens but telling to put proper boot device. I dont know what to do now? Live version boots proper. HD install boots too, but only one after fresh install directly from setup.
Anyone got any hints??
Thank you!
