I have an HP mini 110 that I am installing the latest x86 on. I chose install and am not running the live CD. I have formatted the drive and set the flag to bootable. I can get through the install and first boot, along with running Android and installing apps. But if I shut down or reboot I get the "bootmgr is missing" error. I have booted to gparted and made sure the HDD I am installing to is clean. I've tried fat32 and ntsf, and it seems it only wants to format the HDD in ntsf. Not sure what to do. I have tried selecting "install GRUB" but that doesn't do anything.
Like I said I can get first boot right after install, but any power loss results in bootmgr missing. Its like its running a live CD even though I told it to install to the HDD. Thoughts?

With Gparted, format your HDD with ext3, after, you go in Android's installation, you select your hard drive and you install everything without formatting !

To make a long story short, I've restored WebOS, did a full wipe (via WebOS) of the SD Card and data and now when trying to go through the process of installing CM on the Touchpad again Windows wants to format the SD Card every time I plug it into the computer.
Is this normal behavior? When I allowed Windows to previously format the card (Fat32), all sorts of problems (booting issues) ensued. I am afraid to do it again.
Thank you.
I found out the hard way that a restore of webOS does NOT restore the SD card to its original state if you had previously installed CM. You have to run ACMEUninstaller prior to re-installing CM.
Doing as you've instructed: running the ACMEUninstaller in the "Pow+Home" mode (novacom boot mem:// < ACMEUninstaller) following a webOS factory reset resulted in the TP booting into wiped WebOS and prompting me to select language.
However, the Windows machine still is unable to read/write to the SD card and hence I am unable to proceed with the process of putting the necessary packages onto the card (CWM, moboot, cm7-alpha3.5).
I'm beginning to think this is an OS problem rather than the TP (this time attempting this process on my work machine running WinXP x86).
Any further advice appreciated
PS. Thinking of attempting to fire up a Linux image in a VM to see if I can mount the SD there...

This happened to me.. I just downloaded webos update, fixed the issue. But if you're already on 3.0.5 not sure of the solution though. If u have home network, u can pull files through es file explorer LAN option

I managed to sort everything out.
After successful ACMEUninstall, I reconfigured the factory reset WebOS and tethered my phone for WiFi (corporate wifi around here, so no certificate). After logging in to WebOS, the PC was able to mount the drive and I went through ACMEInstall process with moboot, cwm and cm7-a3.5, everything is working. Thanks.
Now if I could only get this TP on the corporate wifi now, I'd be set (802.1x PEAP MSCHAP-v2 stage2 auth, can only seem to export the required certificate in CER of P7B formats, which android doesn't seem to want to import nicely... -- sorry to go off topic, I'll post a new thread if I don't succeed in this...) Thanks again.
I've been able to load, boot & run the 4.2 release on my Dell Mini 9 from a USB key just fine. It even recognizes my Intel 4965AGN wireless card. All is good ONLY FROM THE USB. Although I have the option to install to HDD, it just won't do it. Every time I try to boot from the HDD it says "Operating System not found". The files appear to be there but in a folder I've tried formatting FAT32, NTFS, EXT3 and all seem to have the same results. Am I missing something or is there a problem with the installer? Anybody else been here yet?
As I stated, everything runs fine from a USB stick, even my wireless and Play Store! Just wish I could figure out how to get everything to the HDD and boot from there. It goes through all the motions like it is installing, leaves what look like the correct files there, just won't work. Go to Reboot and no OS.
Any help would be appreciated.
Install in virtualbox
I guess you need to install work with these x86 releases in virtual format... like using virtualbox

I managed to install it onto another USB drive. It is a lot easier than sorting out dual booting. The problems I had with setting up the second USB drive was to do with its partition settings such as whether it was a primary partition, active etc.
A few days ago i installed remix os to my 40gb hdd (not primary hdd) via a hard drive case that puts ide through usb. After i installed remix, i booted back into windows and used rmx tools to expand my data partition to 34gb and then i went back to remix and everything worked fine. i installed google services and rebooted a few times and everything was still working. then, to get better performance out of it, i plugged the 40gb hdd back into my motherboard via the ide cable. Now whenever i try to boot into remix again it gets stuck on "detecting android-x86" and won't do anything else. The hard drive status light also stops. I've tried plugging my install usb into the computer when it gets stuck but that does nothing. Any help? my specs are
Intel core 2 duo @2.8
ati radeon 4760 gpu
asus p5ql mobo
250gb hdd (primary)
40gb hdd formatted in ntfs (so i could have 34gb of data)
Seems like it can't read the data partition or something, I don't know how you installed this but maybe you should get a linux distro running first, that makes it so much easier to manage Remix OS see http://forum.xda-developers.com/rem...buntu-mint-t3311865/post65243289#post65243289 for example
You can also try to add the boot option DATA_IN_MEM=1 to see if it boots up

I installed it from a 16gb flash drive to the hard drive. Where do I add that boot option?
I have installed stable lineage OS 14.1 on my PC. but before the last logo of the is shown it says (Detecting Android-x68.................................................... found at /dev/sdb3)
console:/#(...........................................)
I don't know what to write after (console:/#)
Can anyone help me with this.
I appreciate that...
Hey! I installed the Remix OS beta when it came out at the beginning of this month, and everything worked well. I initially installed it onto an SD as a test, then moved to a USB as I found it to be quite useful, using Resident mode the whole time in order to save files.
I decided to switch USBs I was using, so made a fresh install onto a Integral 32GB USB3 stick. I also installed Phoenix OS onto the same SD I had previously used as a test. I decided to run Phoenix OS first to test it out (it boots fine), then I tired to boot up the new Remix install on the USB. Here's where the problems begin.... Guest mode works 100% (even using a DPI flag at boot), but Resident just hangs. I've tried multiple fresh installs on different USBs and even booting on different PCs. I feel like I'm losing my mind! Any ideas?
Ok, so I'm back to (sort of) answer my own question, just in case anyone else runs into the same problem when attempting to run Resident mode from a USB.
After looking at the boot options I realised that Resident mode was looking to format partition 1 on the USB at boot, this is where the boot was hanging without any confirmation of a successful format. This combined with the fact that Guest mode worked without a hitch made me realised that the partitions on the USB were messed up. I couldn't figure out how to successfully remove all the partitions using windows partition manager, so a quick format using "SD Formatter" (don't stop here as it won't work yet) to remove the partitions and restore the USB to its original size, then a long format using "USB Disk Storage Format Tool" did the trick. It takes about 30mins to format a 32GB USB using these tools, but it's the only method I've found to restore the USB to it's original state.
For future reference, to fix up the disk using built in Windows tools you can just run Diskpart from the command line, then use the following commands:
Code:
list disk
select disk x (whichever the number is for the USB stick)
clean
create partition primary
format fs=ntfs quick
exit
Takes around 1 minute.
After installing I get the prompt to reboot or start remix. I choose start remix and it works (except sound but I think that is expected).
After I shutdown and switch back on it does not boot. I am greeted with a grub> prompt.
Does anyone know how I can get remix to boot and automatically boot?
Thanks
Needs more info.. hardware, installed from (usb ?) , installed where (Ext4/sda? ) , What version of RemixOS
First thought : Sound like.. you installed RemixOS on your USBstick?
Cheers
It is a linx1010b tablet (Intel Atom Z3735F - sound does not work in remix though, 32 bit eufi bios but 64bit cpu). I am sure I have installed to hard drive as the USB drive does not flash when loading remix.
I have tried installing several times and even unplugged USB after installing and remix boots. I have tried several partition schemes efi 300mb and the rest as Linux. Nothing appears to help. The remix partition options does not appear to allow setting of boot partition though if that matters.
I insert USB stick (downloaded image couple of days ago) and change boot option so install=1. As USB stick is 8gb and internal drive is 32gb I can tell I have the internal drive due to when partitioning it detects as 29gb.
Any ideas? Thanks
Perhaps.. (bootia32.efi)
