Use steps 4 to 6 after you boot from USB with Remix OS, you will be able to reformat and install the OS again

RE: Stuck at Remix OS boot screen
After much playing around and trial and error, I've managed to fix the flashing logo problem;
A lot of the scripts for the grub entry are needlessly complex, so I'll try and outline it as simply as I can. Make sure you use the grub customizer gui app (http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2016/04/install-grub-customizer-ubuntu-16-04-lts/) because it handles the different variations on the grub system from ubuntu-based distributions.
Since you will probably be at the stage of actually getting to the Remix OS flashing logo, I'll outline the details for the entry script in grub customizer that works and is fairly easy to follow;
The insmod entries may not all be needed, but including them all doesn't do any harm;
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod ext2
The set root command tells grub where to find your RemixOs partition or folder, you can find your partition numbers by typing sudo fdisk -l in a terminal, it will list lots of /dev/sda[x] entries. eg (/dev/sda0, /dev/sda1 and so on) /dev/sda0 is your first partition on your first hard disk, which will be hd0 for grub. If you have more than one physical hard disk you will also have /dev/sdb entries here too, those will be hd1 for grub.
If you have RemixOS installed in your first hard disk hd0, and in the 3rd partition /dev/sda3 the line in the grub entry will be;
set root=(hd0,3)
The next few lines are telling grub which files to load up for RemixOS and are fairly simple by comparison;
linux /kernel /root=/dev/ram0
You will recall that 'kernel' is one of the files you extracted from the RemixOS ISO, this command basically tells the OS to load the kernel for Remix into ram. The next line is a bit more complicated, but it's the meat of the whole RemixOS system, after this command you can tell RemixOS which options you want to enable for your system. There are too many options to list here, so we'll keep it simple.
androidboot.hardware=RemixOS_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/system.img
This is also a fairly simple line, if you have an older x86 only machine, make sure you delete the '_64' at the end of the androidboot.hardware line. The next section androidboot.selinux=permissive is required. Lastly the SRC= line is the part I missed out when I was loading it for the first time. You have to make sure you point this SRC= to the system.img that you originally extracted from the ISO. The rest of the commands after this are the specific options you can configure, I'll leave that to your research
Finally, the last line initrd /initrd.img is required and also not terribly complicated.
The entry in grub customizer therefore should look a lot like this:
insmod gzio
insmod part_gpt
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext
set root='(hd0,3)'
linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0
androidboot.hardware=RemisOS_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/system.img
initrd /initrd.img
Bearing in mind to adjust where necessary for your own system, hope this helps!!!!
PSon't forget to SAVE entry in grub customizer!!!

How to install Remix OS alongside Ubuntu (Dual Boot)

1. Create a second ext4 partition for Remix OS using Gparted
You should delete the linux-swap and the extended partition first. After reducing the size of your Ubuntu partition sda1 you can create your Remix OS partition sda2.
Finally you'll create a new extended partition containing the linux-swap.
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german
2. Install Remix OS into the new partition
Use the steps described in "Installing Remix OS to Hard Drive or Virtual Machine without additional tools", but there are a few differences:
- Skip step 3, because you have a formatted ext4 partition already (in my example: sda2)
- Step 4: Select sda2 for your installation (formatting of sda2 not needed)
- Step 5: Do not install a boot loader GRUB; do not install EFI GRUB2 (you'll customize the Ubuntu boot loader)
3. After a reboot Ubuntu will start. Please install grub-customizer
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer
4. Start grub-customizer and add a new entry (Ctrl + N) named e.g. "Remix OS", Type "other"
Boot sequence:
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,2)'
linux /android-2016-07-12/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/android-2016-07-12
initrd /android-2016-07-12/initrd.img
(hd0,2) has to be changed if you use a partition other than sda2 on hd0 for Remix OS.
Example: If you are using sdb2 on hd1 the "set root" command is
set root='(hd1,12)'.
You can obtain the Android path (e.g. /android-2016-08-11/) by mounting the Remix OS partition with the Linus file manager.
Example of boot menu entry for Remix OS
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german
If you are working with the Remix OX 32bit version you have to use ". . . androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 . . ." in the last line (beginning with linux).
Example: With version 3.0.103 (2016080805) 32bit the line has to be:
linux /android-2016-08-08/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/android-2016-08-08
initrd /android-2016-08-08/initrd.img
5. Make the Remix OS entry the second boot menu entry
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german
6. Modify the General Settings
- Default: first entry
- Show menu
- Start default after 5 seconds
http://postimage.org/index.php?lang=german
7. Save the new grub configuration
8. Check the new swap UUID and correct it in /etc/fstab
sudo blkid | grep swap
9. Reboot and select the second entry "Remix OS"
Thanks for the guide it's really useful for me since I'm already using ubuntu and had a separate partition ready for another OS.

I have changed only "insmod part_msdos" to "insmod part_gpt" since I'm using GPT/UEFI (I'm running it on an old mac mini, only boots UEFI)
Any idea what might be wrong? I already triple-checked the grub entry and stilll can't figure out what's going on. Tried also editing hd0,# on boot to no avail either.
EDIT: Would it be easier to have it as single OS? I already backed up and cleaned the HDD.

Are you sure it's (hd0,3)?? You may have to recheck that. Enter the command mode by pressing 'c' at Grub menu and execute 'ls' command to list partitions. I guess it must be (hd0,gpt3) or something like that. You can double check which is RemixOs partition by using 'cd' into each partition executing 'ls' to list files.
Thanks Thisu, but no dice, I even tried installing RemixOS as the main OS without any luck. I have used crappy linux installers (like way back knoppix) but damn Remix takes 1st prize. Right now I'm trying to reinstall GRUB2efi from an ubuntu live USB. No matter what kind of installation I do for Remix I get the typical "blank" GRUB screen (the one that states "....minimal bash command...." and a GRUB> prompt)
I don't know what's the matter with this installer, it's never consistent. sometimes it asks for a data file creation, sometimes doesn't, sometimes just reboots after the install, sometimes prompts what to do... Resident mode tends to work but from this particular drive and computer, is barely useable due to poor speeds. And trying to repurpose an old mac with this is far worse, the PoS won't even try booting a normal MBR scheme. it HAS to be EFI

I am no GRUB specialist, and I do not use EFI. I found a working GRUB configuration for Remix OS by copying and modifying the primary GRUB configuration for Linux Mint 17.3. The tool I used is the "grub-customizer". I installed Remix OS in partition sda2, and "set root='(hd0,2)' " worked for me.
I created and formatted sda2 using GParted; so during the Remix OS installation sda2 did not have to be formatted. Because I wanted to use the Ubuntu GRUB installation, the Remix OS installer has been told not to install GRUB und EFI GRUB2.
In case if someone still looking for help, use the example below. I was successfully able to boot with configuration below.
All you have to do is to mention right gpt partition where you have installed remix os mine was gpt6.
Then by running the "blkid" command in ubuntu terminal find the UUID of the partition
Replace my UUID which is in this example with yours.
Instead of root=/dev/ram0 use root=UUID of the partition.
Hope it will help some

Installing Ubuntu first is at least easier, because Ubuntu will not detect Remix OS as "installed system" and will not offer installing Ubuntu as second system, providing dual boot.
ok, i have finally install everything,followed what have been put here.
but i get an error once i choose remix os on GRUB
error '/android-2016-07-12/kernel' not found
error 'you need to loadthe kernel first'
@remixtester
Firstly, thanks for the guide. I've got it mostly figured out but I have a couple of questions for you.
The partition I have installed Remix to is sdb12, so how would I edit the grub? Is it:
Code:
set root='(hd0,12)'
or
Code:
set root='(hd1,12)'
or something completely different?
Answer:
sdb = hd1 so the code is:
Code:
set root='(hd1,12)'
Also, the "/android-2016-07-12 has to be changed if you will use a Remix OS version other than 2.0.403 (2016-07-12)" section might need a little more clarification. I understand that I need to change this because I'm using Version 3.0.104, but there's no indication in this guide on how to find the correct information for builds that differ from the one you mention using. So how do I find out what to change that line to (as per the build I downloaded)?
Answer:
Mount the partition you installed Remix to in the Linux file manager and view the folder there.
Even though I've answered my questions I'm leaving this here for anyone else having the same questions in future. It might be a good idea to add this info to your guide.

Actually i did a mistake. Infact its a mistake in your code for boot sequence in your guide
In eg of 32 bit , you have written initrd=/andoid..... And correct is initrd /android......
Anyways hardly matters, your guide was awesome. Thank you !!!
helpp
I followed every step on the guide, but when I try to boot Remix Os, it just says "disk /dev/ram0 doesn't exist", I don't know what to do, I've tried changing /dev/ram0 for other disks and dir,, but just says the same "disk -the disk I decide to put- doesn't exist
also, sorry for my bad english, I mostly speak spanish
Ok everything went ok boots up and runs fine. my question be if you were going to root this you would want it to be after you make the bootable usb which will then change it to system.img and make the change on the grub customizer then install it to the partition with "Tab" INSTALL=1.

I do not understand

Hello everyone
I apologize for my English Approximate but I use google translation.
I come to you because I can not use a Remixos on my computers. Let it boot but remains on the Remixos screen or it crashes before. I used on 5 computers as x64 and x86 but nothing to do.
I really do not know or look. I would also install Remixos, ONLY on the hard drive of my Acer aspire one KAV10 but I do not know how ca too.
Could you help me?
There are various threads in the forum here that show how to install it to harddrive. If it is crashing before it boots, there is the possibility that you have some incompatible hardware. I understand that the team is trying to increase compatibility of different hardware. How new or old are your computers you are trying to test with? The Acer should work, but it depends on which image you downloaded and what architecture your acer is. My acer at home is only 32bit, so I didnt try with it as of yet. I did get my install of remixos to work on a dell 64bit desktop.
One thing i noticed was that at this stage of remix, it is not a friendly install method, and requires a bit of familiarity with different steps to make it work nicely. The first difficulty I had to get past was the graphics card. It meant I had to fix the grub boot line to include VGA=1440x900 for use with my monitor. The graphics card I have didnt want to play nicely with auto detection so I had to manually specify my resolution.

On the old PC i understand you can only use the 32 bit version. That being said, it may still not work. On the newest machine, if it works partially, then you may just need to set your resolution.
Exactly how you do to put its own specifications?
This can be a tricky task. The windows tool that sets up the USB i cannot speak for because I didnt use it. But if you have a linux installation, you will want to mount the usb and update the grub config. Grub2 is not as easily edited as original grub, but there are many howto's on the internet for how to configure grub2. Since this is linux at its root, using grub for remix is no different. You will want to mount the usb stick, edit grub2 config by adding a delay rather than an autoboot. You can either edit the grub2 line for the kernel by adding the VGA=<your resolution> (or use a web tutorial on how to use vesa), or you can set a timeout on grub entry, stop the timeout on boot, and edit the line withing the grub console.
I know this can sound intimidating, but in this case, editing grub2 is not unique to remix, it is a common to most distributions that use grub2. (most linux distributions dont require this type of difficult changing right at the beginning anymore thankfully, but it still happens like this from time to time).

Thank you for the clarification, as I'm not totally bi-lingual I passed next to some detail in the translation. Sorry.
I will try to manipulate the Grub2 but I'm not sure it works.
I want to install it on my Aspir one and my Hp stream7, Remix bones started when I press TAB to boot, otherwise it remains on the screen RemixOs.
When boot is slow and I can not use the browser.
If remixos does not yet work well is there an alternative solution? As Phenix bone or android? (Solution already used but without success may be due to lack of knowledge)
Thank you

finally after putting the resolution in the grub.cfg not change but instead I managed to boot on Guest Mode but not resident mode....
glad to hear! at this point you get to have fun! Are you using linux or windows as your primary OS, or is the disk blank on the systems you are using? I use linux, so what I chose to do is to create a separate partition on the disk and formatted it to ext4. I then copied the contents of the contents of the USB drive to that partition. I edited grub2 on my existing solution to include an entry to remix now copied on that partition. From there you need to specify (in the same place as the vga resolution on the kernel line) to: first create a new data.img file, and then on next boot to not do so. Like this:
1 boot into different OS - now copy files from usb to new partition, edit grub by adding entry to new partition, specify on kernel line: resolution, create data.img
2 now boot (without usb drive) to new remix partition, let it create the data.img, it will now give you a full desktop not in guest mode, reboot
3 boot into different OS and edit grub again and remove the kernel line to create data.img, reboot
4 boot into remix and enjoy!

Problems to install remix os on hard disk

Downloading and installing remix on a usb stick posed no problem, but installing it on a ssd in my desktop is a real pain in the neck.
I made a bootable usb stick using unetbootin with the latest iso and started the installation. So far so good, but installing the data took a long time. The os started with this peautiful picture but was very unstable adressing the usb stick all the time. On restart a nice entry appeared in my windows bootloader. When I clicked the computer restarted searching for the remix os, getting stuck at an ext 2 partition
Now I had created a 37 GB primary partition after my ubuntu partitions, because there the remix should install.
Gparted showed that 50 MB was written to this partition but not a sign of remix.
Is this all due to ubuntu that I have next to windows 10?
Or am I doing something terribly wrong?
I have 2 linux+w10+Remix on 3 hdd. Remix beside Linux Mint 18.
I create ext4 partition 40Gb (Gparted; need remember "sda1", or other name partition). Boot from usb, Resident mode + INSTALL=1 option. Choose 40Gb partition, "Do not format", grub - NO, EFI GRUB - Skip, Read\Write - Yes. Reboot on Mint. Install Grub Customizer and add entry for Remix. Its look like this:
(all coments i wrote for you started $$$$ - not for Grub Customizer =))
Code:
set root='(hd2,2)' $$$$ Disk account starts with 0, so if you have sda4 - (hd0,4)
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 033e8fc7-4cfe-9454-bc59-df7329ca862d $$$$ this unique number partition has change after format from remix installer. Can take it from fstab.
linux /android-2016-06-30/kernel root=UUID=033e8fc7-4cfe-9454-bc59-df7329ca862d androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA=/android-2016-06-30/data $$$$ change number too and check path to kernel
initrd /android-2016-06-30/initrd.img $$$$ check path
Done.
Hi Slawdos,
Thanks for the instruction. Remix is installed now, but the ubuntu bootloader can't find the uuid= (the number I found with Gparted).*
I have found the uuid and path of the remix partition in Gparted and implemented it in the codes of the remix entry in grub optimizer.
But obviously I have made one ore more errors in these codelines.
These are the codes I used:
set root='(hd7,1)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 6947dc76-11cf-4fa3-a6d2-18637c404be2
linux /android-2016-06-30/kernel
root=UUID=6947dc76-11cf-4fa3-a6d2-18637c404be2
androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64
androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA=/dev/sdh2/android-2016-06-30/data
initrd /dev/sdh2/android-2016-06-30/initrd.img
Could you please give me some more instructions

Hi. Looks like right, but partitions account start from 1 (grub2 feature). Try use first line
Code:
set root='(hd7,2)'
if you have some errors on loading, will be nice to look at it.
ps: i use x64 remixos. and you?
Hi Slawdos,
Your suggestion didn do the trick. Alas!
When I click remix in the grub2 bootloader, it tells me:
error : disk ' UUID=6947dc76-11cf-4fa3-a6d2-18637c404be2 ' has not been found
push any key to continue
Then while shutting down the whole operation is echoed
Somewhere close to the end it says:
kernel panic not syncing VFS: unable to mount filesystem on unknown block (0,0)
Still puzzled
Check UUID.
Other method for installing Remix OS alongside Ubuntu
Perhaps you should try the method I have described in "How to install Remix OS alongside Ubuntu (dual boot)".
Basic information about tools and updating your dual boot installation you'll find in "Remix OS on Hard Drive or Virtual Machine - Installation and (OTA) Update".

RemixOs 3.0.X installation will not work, no grub

Basically I've tried installing every build of RemixOs 3.0.X (2.0 worked). but with 3.0 I get no errors, it also does not actually install grub, so it is unbootable.
Now I can see the values in the EFI partition and everything on disk is correct, secure boot is disabled, but I do not get the grub boot loader to execute so I have no way to access RemixOS. Now I've tried installs in without AV and FW running, and every build, but simply put I can not get it to actually install Grub is impossible. I do not see why it is not running grub, as I stated everything looks correct, but for some reason the last step of triggering it to run on boot is not being executed, and I've yet to discover any way to manually force the process (or even a log of what went wrong).
How do I force RemixOS install to not only configure grub, but install it, if I had Linux installed I'd use setup-grub, but with only windows I'm at a loss. Also any idea why 2.0 worked and installed the bootloader, but 3.0 does not as far as I can see the boot loader is the same.
Finally I've gone as far as forcing the boot order to run grub, however then I'm stuck as the grub config from remixOS does not work from GRUB, when I copy it to the custom config, so obviously something else is required to boot RemixOS using grub2win, other than the EFI partition grub.cfg configuration, as that begins loading the OS, but does not succeed.
If I remove Quite and set " logo.showlogo=0", then I've been able to get remixos to start booting, however once the remixos's load screen appears it hangs, never completes. It also warns about ntfs module already being loaded, but that is just annoying nothing else. Still some progress, now if only I could see what was happening when it shows remixos instead of staring at a logo, which I might mention I disabled.
Thanks,
ERIC
Finally got it booting, but while it run, I can not get a keyboard so it is useless. Best I can do is Swiftkey Neural which shows 3 words, but no keyboard. It is as if it think I have a physical one connected even when I do not.

First I installed Remix OS with Windows 10 (Dualboot), I restarted my laptop, booted Windows 10 and at the OS Selection screen I chose Remix OS, it restarted, booted into Remix OS! Then I added Remix OS to my dualbooted Ubuntu Grub configuration with Grub-Customiser! Voila, I can boot from Grub from Ubuntu!
It should be similar for Grub2Win, but I wouldn't recommend it!

If RemixOS is installed, desintall it.
Create a new NTFS partition with sufficient space (H in my case)
Install Remix OS in the new partition (H), don't reboot!
Open Grub2win , manage a new entry. Choose Remix, and modify the "Linux Boot Parms" like this:
verbose androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SERIAL=random REMOUNT_RW=1 DATA= SRC=RemixOS CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 androidboot.swrast=1
(quiet SERIAL=random is for open Google Play, REMOUNT_RW=1 is for having a RW system, if you don't want, don't put this option, androidboot.swrast=1 is for going further than the Remix logo)
Next, in the directory where Grub2win is (ie C:\), install AS ADMINISTRATOR a symlink (right click on Start, command prompt as administrator, cd C:\ and type mklink RemixOS H:\RemixOS), it's H in my case, change for your choice.
Reboot, and launch Remix in the Grub2win screen, and be happy

I have tried to boot with Grub2win and Android 6.0 r1, but, If in the Linux Boot Parms, I let "video=-16", the screen is yellow, only the letters "and" are visible and white on the right side, while I put vga=791 in place, the screen is black, but stuck at the flashing logo. I don't know, at this time, what to do!

Remix OS 32bit on Celeron M Laptop

Hello XDA,
I'm desperately trying to get Remix OS to run on my test laptop : it is an Acer ASPIRE 5315 with a Celeron M 530 @ 1.73Ghz and an Intel GMA X3100. I've 'installed' RemixOS by copying system.sfs, kernel, initrd.img and ramdisk.img in a folder called /RemixOS at the root of my Xubuntu installation and also created a data folder inside this RemixOS folder as suggested by tutorials. Note that Xubuntu runs just fine on this PC despite its age (although you have to forcepae when installing). I then created a grub boot entry using grub-customizer as follows :
NAME: RemixOS
TYPE: Other
BOOT SEQUENCE:
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,1)'
linux /RemixOS/kernel quiet root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86 androidboot.selinux=permissive SRC=/RemixOS
initrd /RemixOS/initrd.img
When selecting this GRUB entry, the kernel loads fine (but it tells me intel powerclamp is not supported on my CPU) and I then rapidly get to the RemixOS blinking boot image. However, I am stuck here forever. Can anyone tell me if it's just my PC which is incompatible or whether I did something wrong?
Thanks!
Hmm.. have you chmod it? (Dir/files)
Best to make a livebootusb stick...then check if it runs.. and if runs good enough to install
Cheers

Thanks for the help. I'll try chmodding it. I know about first trying with a liveCD/USB
To be honest, I had burned the ISO but with the DVD, I could not even get to the Remix OS blinking image (although the kernel loaded). I guess I'll give it a try with a USB flash drive.
