Remix on USB without turning off secure boot - Remix OS for PC

Hi,
I have remix OS working perfectly from a USB stick. I kinda like this solution, as my surface doesn't have too much free space for an extra remix partition. But in order to boot from the USB, I have to turn off secure boot.
Is there a way to fix the USB-stick so it will boot even with secure boot on?
I have been googling a bit, but must be using the wrong searchterms, cannot find the answer.
Cheers,

Pipo W3F keeps rebooting, can anyone help?

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum but I didn't find a Pipo subforum.
My Pipo W3F keeps rebooting exactly like this fellow's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dz_qsKDAq3A
Can anyone help? Thank You.
Has no one seen any tablet reboot like this at all, so you could at least point me in some direction?
I found out some things that may help you guys to help me.
This unit is Dual Boot between Android 4.4 and Windows 8.1 and used an Intel Bay Trail processor. In the American Megatrends bios I can choose to override current default boot settings which are ( UEFI: Built in EFI Shell) to UEFI OS and then Android will boot normally with all my data. What I cannot get to boot is Windows 8.1 no matter which option I try. If your Pipo custom OS Boot manager does not load ( the screen that lets you choose between Android and Windows on startup) you are supposed to hold down the Volume Up (plus) button while booting and the boot manager will load. I've used this trick before this rebooting happened once when the boot manager did not load and it worked fine. Now this trick won't work at all. I believe perhaps somehow this boot manager or the bios function that loads it is in error. I could be wrong, just my best guess.
I even tried a copy of Windows 8.1 on USB and was able to tell the bios to load the USB from startup. My hope was that it would recreate me a Windows Boot Manager and allow me to get into Windows at least by booting through the ISO, or try to repair windows boot problems but all it does is give me a blue screen that says it ran into an error, is collecting some info and restarts only to go into this same loop. It nevers loads the ISO setup properly to even try to fix Windows boot problems.
Does this help you guys ?

Loop on Android & Remix "Upgrading" screen

Hey community, after trying to install Remix OS (x86, x64 (original and rooted) on my USB pen drive, USB Harddisk and internal Harddisk, i'm always stuck in the screen where you can see the green Android mascot with the "Android-x86" text under it and the loading screen of Remix OS with the text "Upgrading...". The progressbar loads fully, goes to "starting" and then back again to the green android screen.
Got an old (~4 years) Asus Laptop without USB 3.0 support, tried enabling and disabling Legacy boot in BIOS.
Someone got the same problem or knows a solution?
bump for same problem.

Didn't work
Did i do the folllwing instructions correct?
Reinstalled Remix OS on harddrive, got to the screen to select "resident mode", added "nomodeset" before "quiet" in the parameter, booted it up and waited ~8 hours (i'd gone to work). Still at bootloop. Forcefully shut down, removed parameter and waited a night long...

I want to install Remix OS on my external HDD (WD Elements 2TB). After installing over Windows and booting to Remix OS, you can select between Resident and Guest mode (guest mode only on USB I think). Resident mode saves every changes you made and guest doesn't.
I only followed the normal installation method delivered by the installer exe.
I'm going to install now this newest version of Remix OS first trying the normal install procedure, then i'm going to look at these 3 (1, 2, 3) threads for more help.
I'll let you know if and how I did it.
I installed it on my Acer AOA110 with 8GB SSD inside, and still stuck on boot after nomodeset option, should I upgrade the drive or is there another way I can successfully boot it? ZIF drives are pretty rare these days. this isnt 2009.
After trying different possibilities I couldn't get my laptop run Remix OS. Installing on internal, external harddrive and usb, I get still stuck on bootloop...

Pixel 2 (2015) Chromebook Wont Start in Resident Mode

It works fine in Guest Mode, but if I choose Resident Model at the Remix OS boot screen, it just goes to a blank screen. I don't even get to the Remix OS splash or the "A N D R O I D".
I know there is nothing wrong with this boot media, because it works on my Dell PC and MacBook Air.
Do I need to change something in the boot options by hitting Tab on Resident Mode. It looks like I can tweak some options there.
Of course I have the Chromebook set up to boot from media. In fact, I run Linux in a partition via chrx on the device (seldom use Chrome OS),
Thanks.
Having real trouble with this actually. While I said the media works on my Dell PC and MacBook Air, it actually doesn't. They're both frozen on the Remix OS screen.
So maybe my media isn't good enough, but shouldn't it be fast enough:

I've tried writing the image with the Remix tool on a PC, the Gnome Startup Disk Creator on Linux, as well as Rufus on a PC. They all fail in the following manner:
On my Pixel 2: They either cause a reboot loop before the splash screen or sit on a blank screen before the splash screen.
On my Dell PC and MacBook Air: They are stuck on the splash screen.
This is only in Resident mode. They all start fine in Guest mode!
Anyone? Thanks!
I guess there's not a lot of activity here huh?
So I solved my own problem. The issue was the USB stick. I tried it on two more USB sticks and it installed in Resident Mode fine. The difference between the ones that worked and the one that didn't us that the one that didn't work was USB 3.0. The ones that worked were USB 2.0.
Go figure...
I'm having a similar problem. But my USB should be fine, it's a SanDisk Extreme Pro (one of the fastest available). It worked with previous versions of RemixOS, but since the Marshmallow release haven't been able to get past the pulsing RemixOS screen in Resident mode. Like you Guest mode works fine.

Is the REMOUNT_RW=1 parameter included in the kernel line? If so, it will take time for the system.sfs file to extract itself into a file called system_dev.img! If this is not the case, the new Linux Kernel may not work with your setup...
Could I get the specs of your system?
 @gregbacchus Could I get the specs of your system aswell?
@moman2000 I have tried on a number of different computers. It used to work on all of them: 2011 Macbook Pro, 2015 Macbook Pro, homemade pc.
Note, it runs fine in Guest mode, it's just resident mode that doesn't work. I have left it pulsing over night to see if it was just something slow.

archos 80 cesium no software need some help

hello
i need some help i am kinda clueless i have a archos 80 cesium
with no software at all no recovery etc
the only thing it does is boot logo and after like couple min it goes on no bootable device hit any key
its normal a windows tablet
anybody suggestions ?
Less info how you get it bricked that way, which maybe is helpful to know. Custom recovery, stock?
Whatever i guess only chance to unbrick is by flashing stock-rom
Stock rom is not at ftp://support.archos.com/Smartphones&Tablets/
Seems like it has a SDE firmware?

guess you find some answers here:

Not sure if I should bump this thread, but thought I shall leave my two cents here.
I feel you have corrupted the boot or the internal storage. Since this is a windows tablet, i recommend trying to get into boot and check for boot options, in parallel you also also try to live boot a lightweight linux distribution via an otg pendrive and check the internal storage.
there are also windows recovery tools you can try boot via an otg pendrive.
If the bios supports sd card as a boot device, you may try that instead of the pendrive.
I think its the ESC key on the keyboard to enter bios(ofcourse connect it to the only usb port as OTG)

Nexus 5x not booting, but being recognised as an external drive

I bought a cheap Nexus 5x off eBay because they were having some problems with getting it to boot.
I just thought that it was a simple brick problem, but it won't even boot into recovery or anything. No charging notification LED, but when I plug it into the computer, it's being recognised as an external drive.
Therefore I assume that the entire system partition has been erased off it. Without that I am unable to boot into recovery or enable ADB to boot and flash anything. Any assistance would be muchly appreciated, thanks.
