I have a 32gb transcent usb stick that I would like to put Remix OS on. I downloaded the Legacy Version and put it onto my usb stick with the included tool. When I boot my Gigabyte, I can press f12 and select either my ssd or the usb stick - however, when I select it, it tries to boot from it, fails and reverts back to the ssd.
On my other laptop (an Asus) I can't even select the usb. I have Legacy USB on on both devices.
Where did I go wrong? Is there something else I need to do to get it working?

So that is the message I get when I do get into android. Through searching the web I found a lot of messages related to Remix 2.X that has similar issues. After the boot, I see the screen asking me to specify a language, then it goes black (Safe mode shows "SAFE MODE" in the upper corner of the screen) . Ater waiting for over an hour, I came back and clicked the mouse a couple times, get a message that the settings wizard is not responding. I can wait or cancel. If I wait, I go back to black screen indefinitely. If I cancel; I am prompted to select a language again, then back to black screen.
I tried reformatting the USB again... Older versions of the remix tool specify the need for FAT formatting, so I made sure that was the case. Reinstalled the ISO and tried again. Same issue.
The machine in question is an older Toshiba laptop, 64bit. No security settings in BIOS, not specifications to switch between UEFI and legacy so I assume it is just legacy (CSM).
Any tips would be much appreciated, I was excited to get this thing running on my son's laptop to give him some diversification...
Hi all, using a Samsung ativ pc pro xe700t1c-a04uk
dual boot: Windows 10 pro / android remix os 3.0
screen 11.6 full hd 1080p
cpu intel core i5-3317u quad core
ram 4gb
gpu intel hd 4000 (128mb dedicated)
hdd 256gb msata ssd
I run remix os 3.0 from a 64GB 544/MBs msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure.
Very fast system. Everything working including apps and games and all hardware (touchpen/touchscreen/gyro/accele/light/nfc/otg/gamepad/cam/mic/sound/gfx/etc).
Problem: Its not a major problem but the screen dimming or brightness control dosent work and thats the only problem.
The samsung ative pc pro xe700t1c is by far the most superior convertible laptop/tablet in the world!
Request to developers:
Can you please implement the sim function for internet and calling. Also can you please implement a gamepad configuration menu just like the keyboard config menu?
Thank you very much for all the good stuff remix team.

hi all i thought this turorial might help you guys....
This is a working usb install media creator method for os remix installation and legacy bios circumventing all known errors made for noobs including USING full drive internal storage space etc.
You will be able to use this usb stick for future creation of other usb install media
you will have the choice to also install to hard drive
you will need 2 x usb drives and require drive write speed to be higher than 10 mb/s
the first drive will be the installer drive and the second will be the actual usb drive used to run remix os.
For first drive basic fat 32 install you will need rufus 2.9 usb boot media creator
after creation of the installer drive keep it safe i reccommend you use a 4gb drive $4/£2 off ebay but get something thats got a write speed higher than 10 mb/s or else install will fail!
Format the second drive to your liking ext 4 for example on your pc with minitool partition or acronis disk manager (make sure the drive is formatted as primary and set to active flag)
1. Create fat 32 usb boot disk with first usb drive and rufus 2.9 and the remix os iso
2.make sure after creation you boot up the usb drive and enter remix os then shutdown and boot up again to write the config files
3.make sure you dont boot up the ufi version of the boot up, only use the legacy version (it will have ufi next to boot drive in bios usb boot up list)
4.after you enter remix os go to settings and download the update (ota) (this is the main fix)(if this update fails you cannot proceed further with instructions)(DOSENT APPLY TO REMIX OS 3.0+ INSTALLATION)
5. After ota update reboot and enter remix os again and let android upgrade
6.after this stage is complete your fat32 remix os usb bootable drive is ready to create a usb drive that runs remix os from the drive itself.
7.insert the second drive in a usb hub and boot up the computer with both drives in the computer and boot from the first drive (the usb remix os installer drive)
8.boot up and at the grub boot menu (it should look blue with yellow writing not the black ufi version) press tab and type: INSTALL=1
9. then press enter then you will enter usb media creation menu select scan usb drives and select the second drive (the remix os running drive)
10. It will ask you what you want to format the drive as so select do not format option (becus you already formatted it)
11.then it will ask you to install first grub boot menu say yes
12. Then it will ask you to install second boot grub efi menu say yes
13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***
14. Then it will ask you if you want read/write privelage say yes
15. It will proceed to write the remix os onto the drive
16. When finished it will ask to restart (at this point i just switch the pc off by holding power button then restart and boot off the new second drive to run the os from it already upgraded too)
note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.
The remix os ota update addresses the boot media creation errors. After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!
Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this! enjoy.
I have the ativ pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough 5 secs to boot and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all. The 5 year old Ativ pc pro gets 119,000+ score in antutu benchmark same as the latest LG G5 with the latest adreno 530 gpu/snapdragon 820 cpu which costs approx £600 now in retail!!! I bought the Ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet for only £200 two weeks ago with accessories (ethernet dock etc) worth alone £100 on its own off ebay!!! On top of all that its also a windows 10 pro convertible laptop/tablet system which on its own without android was initially worth £1200 five years ago and still costing approx £500 even now in retail. So what im trying to say here is that for only £200 i get a £600 android 6.0 laptop/tablet and i also get a £500 windows 10 pro laptop tablet ALL IN ONE. Muahahahahahaha haaaaa hahahaha kekekeke.
I dont know what i am doing wrong. I have followed every step carefully still when i select usb option in boot menu it says " missing operating system_". nobody have this issue. my pendrive is sandisk ultra 32GB usb 3.0. please someone help if some have faced such issue.

I think you did wrong this step:
"13. Next it will ask you if you want to format the boot partition or something like that say *** no ***"
if that was your mistake its not bad,there are few ways to get back your windows bootloader. not sure but if you repeat the steps 7-16 maybe at step 13 you'll get windows in grub bootlist...not sure about this, but you can try...nothing to lose.

This is a working usb install media creator method for remix os installation and legacy bios + MBR format and not GPT and circumventing all known errors made for noobs including USING full drive internal storage space etc.

you will have the choice to also install to hard drive
you will need 2 x usb drives and require drive write speed to be higher than 10 mb/s

after creation of the installer drive keep it safe i reccommend you use a 4gb drive $4/£2 off ebay but get something thats got a write speed higher than 10 mb/s or else install will fail!
Format the second drive with the size of your choice to ext 4 on your pc with minitool partition or acronis disk manager (make sure the drive is formatted as primary and set to active flag)
1. Create fat 32 usb boot disk with first usb drive and rufus usb boot media creator and the remix os iso version 2.0402
2.make sure after creation you boot up the usb drive and enter remix os then shutdown and boot up again to write the config files
3.make sure you dont boot up the ufi version of the boot up, only use the legacy version (it will have ufi next to boot drive in bios usb boot up list)
4.after you enter remix os go to settings and download the update (ota) (this is the main fix for version 2.0402 which updates to version 2.0403)(if this update fails you cannot proceed further with instructions unless you have version 2.0403 iso)( this update DOSENT APPLY TO REMIX OS version 2.0403 or 3.0+ INSTALLATION)
5. After ota update reboot and enter remix os again and let android upgrade
6.after this stage is complete your fat32 remix os usb bootable drive is ready to create a usb drive that runs remix os from the drive itself using full drive internal storage space.
7.insert the second drive in a usb hub and boot up the computer with both drives in the computer and boot from the first drive (the usb remix os installer drive)
8.boot up and at the grub boot menu (it should look blue with yellow writing not the black ufi version) press tab and type: INSTALL=1
9. then press enter then you will enter usb media creation menu select scan usb drives and select the second drive (the remix os running drive)

**** Newbie Errors to avoid******
1. make sure you format the drive correctly, sometimes errors at this stage will create errors later on and affect later installation and will create boot up failures
2. i have to stress this once again as once i formatted the same drive with the same settings in minitool partition manager but in different order for example: instead of formatting it ext 4 then applying changes then setting it to primary then applying changes then setting the partition to active flag and applying changes, i did format ext 4 and change partition to primary all at once then applied changes then set it to active flag and applied changes and later after remix os install the usb wouldnt boot saying "missing operating system error" so caution.
3. after you format the drive with ext 4 partition the usb drive will be unrecognizable in windows. (do not use windows unplug usb drive feature to remove the drive, just pull it out)
4. make sure you pull the first installer drive out before booting the newly created ext 4 usb as it may affect boot up
5. sometimes for power saving reasons the screen might go blank while installing as installing takes time dont panic just press power button or any key to revive the system
6. if you dont get a usb drive faster than 10 mb/s then you will have problems if you continue with the installation and alot of system lag
7. its happened to me many times before so listen carefully: if you dont format the drive correctly even the drives transfer write speed can be greatly affected for example i formatted the usb drive and made a mistake but it was not detectable as it said all was fine i think i formatted the usb drive fat32 without first deleating the existing partition (just converted it) then with remix os installation at the stage where you boot up the installed drive for the first time to do a drive write speed test it was telling me the drives speed was below 5 mb/s ( the drive was a lexar p23 usb 3.0 16gb 150 mb/s read 60 mb/s write) and warned me about install failure then i formatted the drive again this time deleting the patition first then applying changes and doing the rest of the steps one by one each time applying changes after only changing one setting then at the remix os installation speed test this time it was reporting 60 mb/s write speeds!
8. remix os works like a charm on intel cpus and intel integrated gpus and i dont have other makes to test so this tutorial is only for legacy bios and intel cpu and gpu (tested all working)
9. This is something so basic but having a data indicator led on your usb drive or usb hub will save you waiting hours! most waiting is due to not knowing whats happening or not knowing if there is an error or not so try and get a usb drive with an led that tells you if the system is currently writing/working to disk and when that led stops blinking for a long period e.g 2 mins then you will know the install has crashed or android is not loading. Also with slower drives the waiting period is longer as the system takes longer to write to the drive (a 544MB/s msata SSD FLASH drive takes 5 secs to install while a usb 3.0, 60 MB/s write drive will take 15 mins) but if you have a data status led which shows its still blinking then atleast you will know the installation/loading is still working and no need to abort it. Also Android os constantly writes to the drive when running so you will see the data status led constantly blink too and if that ever stops you know you have encountered a system crash. Also the led shows how well remix os is running as regards speed of the operating system, for example at the start of loading remix os or when doing a task the led stays constanly blinking RAPIDLY but after loading or finishing the task the led defaults to a blink per second (this is classed as normal operation and healthy) but when the led is constantly blinking RAPIDLY without pauses or stays on for a long time then it means the operating system is not running smoothly as it should and then you should check if theres a problem formatting or if its a fake drive etc.
10. Using slow usb drives or fake usb drives will get very HOT and will cause the error "not responding...wait or close" error while very fast drives will always stay COOL without system lag and errors.
note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.
The remix os ota update 2.0403 addresses the boot media creation errors of remix os 2.0402 . After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!
Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this! enjoy.

Also if the the led shows how well remix os is running as regards speed of the operating system, for example at the start of loading remix os or when doing a task the led stays constanly blinking RAPIDLY but after loading or finishing the task the led defaults to a blink per second (this is classed as normal operation and healthy) but when the led is constantly blinking RAPIDLY without pauses or stays on for a long time then it means the operating system is not running smoothly as it should and then you should check if theres a problem formatting or if its a fake drive etc.
10. Using slow usb drives or fake usb drives will get very HOT and will cause the error "not responding...wait or close" error while very fast drives will always stay COOL without system lag and errors.
note: If wanting ntfs version of remix os then its a little complicated than this and you will need to use imgtools to increase the data.img file on the ntfs drive after creation with the first usb media creator drive.
The remix os ota update 2.0403 addresses the boot media creation errors of remix os 2.0203 . After the ota update all drives created with the grub menu installer boot up as they should but only ufi boot up option hangs!
Hope this helps hit the thanks dont forget so i know how many people were helped by this! enjoy.
I have the ativ pc pro xe700t1c the uk version with intel core i5 quad core and its also a convertible tablet with msata ssd as hdd drive and as you all probbaly know android was created for fast flash memory and linux format os so the best combination is an ssd and ext4 linux file format. I have a 64gb 544 mb/s msata drive in a usb 3.0 enclosure which i use to boot remix os and run it off it. Its perfectly smooth and fast enough 5 secs to boot and the ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet is fully compatible hadware software wise, no problems at all. The 5 year old Ativ pc pro gets 120,000+ score in antutu benchmark same as the latest LG G5 with the latest adreno 530 gpu/snapdragon 820 cpu which costs approx £600 now in retail!!! I bought the Ativ pc pro convertible laptop/tablet for only £200 two weeks ago with accessories (ethernet dock etc) worth alone £100 on its own off ebay!!! On top of all that its also a windows 10 pro convertible laptop/tablet system which on its own without android was initially worth £1200 five years ago and still costing approx £500 even now in retail. So what im trying to say here is that for only £200 i get a £600 android 6.0 laptop/tablet and i also get a £500 windows 10 pro laptop tablet ALL IN ONE. Muahahahahahaha haaaaa hahahaha kekekeke.

Hey, thanks for the instructions. I managed to use this method to install Remix OS 3.0.102 onto the seconds USB drive on my Macbook Pro. Once the installation process finished I hit Run Android_x86 instead of reboot and it started just fine. The problem is that after I removed the first USB drive with the Remix OS installer and I rebooted the second drive doesn't show up as a boot option. So now I can't get back into it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Daniel

you did the last proccess wrong! you need to follow step 16 properly! It tells you not to run android x86 option or restart option, infact it tells you to switch your pc off then remove the first installer drive then start the pc with the second drive and boot from it. If you run android x86 option at the end it will run but make next boot broken. Please follow instructions carefully.
if you didnt backup your files then you can still boot from it but the boot might not stick unless you reinstall remix os onto the drive again.
do steps 7 to 13 again to the second drive and when you get to step 14 "do you want to write privelage" part just switch the pc off and boot from the second drive again and this time boot should be fixed but might not boot again after that like i said before.
I tried multiple variations and I end up with 2 outcomes (always shut the computer down once the last options was on screen):
1) If I don't tell it to format on step 13 (like in the instructions) I end up not seeing the USB drive as a boot option after restart.
2) If I tell it to format on step 13 I see the USB and I can select it but then I get the Minimal Bash Grub instead of it booting
P.S. I'm doing this with the latest version of Remix OS 3.0.102 on a 2015 Macbook Pro. Have you tested the instructions on a Mac or only a Windows PC?

All i can say my freind is there are too many numerous variables that can go wrong. all the way from having the correct bios setup and correct boot mode eg legacy or eufi to formatting the drive correctly and using the already complicated and buggered up installer. you just have to trial and error like i did and after a few days i got it all sussed for my pcs (not macs though sorry, not a mac person never was and never will be lol).
the method i have written works 100% for legacy bios and mbr hard disk (not gpt), windows, fast flash drive and for all versions of remix os upto date so far. ive tried it on different flash drives too.
This has to be mentioned , there is alot that jide is doing to prevent users from doing things like what we are doing here now so they are always changing things to make it harder for people to have it their own way! jides way is making money from the masses while our way is a free os! clearly jide will carry on trying to prevent people like us from doing what we want to do such as using full drive internal storage space etc etc. so watch out folks!
Thanks for the answer. I'll just keep trying until I get it to work. There must be way, even if it means learning how to configure grub manually from scratch. It worked just fine on first install until reboot so it has to work somehow.
It would've been nice if Jide provided more info or support on the issue since this is suppose to be a final product. The purpose of free products is to attract attention to other paid products and to their company. That, they have achieved but if said free product is a hacky nightmare full of bugs and lacking documentation it only puts them in a negative light. Then again, in my case this might also be Apple's fault with their closed platform approach and lack of support for certain file systems and standards.
Anyway, have a good night and all the best.
If I manage to get it working I'll be sure to post it here.

To my understanding the only way to have Remix OS use the entire space of the USB drive is to have it formatted as ext4. Unetbootin cannot use an ext4 formatted drive so yes, I can have it work in multiple ways either using unetbootin or just dd-ing the image to the drive but in both cases I end up with a 4gb storage space in Remix OS. That is why this method seemed like the best one.
hmm..
Yumi also supports android x86 (easyway to make usb stick) and change grub menu
The android installer from XDA hacked version.. seems to create 3 partitions on the USB stick (fat32/ext4/ext4)
-for those how just wish to use a big usbstick.. to run RemixOS (note removing the partitions can not be done with diskmanager from windowz)
any note.. i have on this tuturial... missing: is what if you have nvidia card
then it needs : i915.modeset=0 nouveau.modeset=1 INSTALL=1
Cheers..

try and use this windows app to create usb boot disk, it supports uefi bios and legacy bios + 64 bit/32 bit iso and img files. And your right only ext 4 allows full drive internal storage space without modification of any sort out of the box. With NTFS you need to use imgtools to increase the internal storage space.

unetbootin can use an ext4 if you use it from linux(ubuntu), from windows you install first to hd on reboot inside unetbootin menu you add INSTALL=1 on your entry then choose usb ext4 on drive choice thats how i do

Worked great!
Followed your instructions and loaded Remix OS " Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016091202" version: 3.0.205 onto a Sandisk 128GB USB drive with no problems and full access to entire drive. Using the Remix OS installer only gave 64 GB of Data.
Thank you so much for the guide!
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)

Hi
I am trying to install Remix OS on my CSC WISEBOOK803T. Not working so great.
Either I come to the flashing Remix OS logo and it not progressing or I come to the Select language but the screen is so distorted that I cannot do anything (see the attached photo).
Info about the tablet:
8-inch IPS screen resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels.
Operating system Windows 8.1
Processor Intel Atom Processor Z3735G 1.33 GHz (2M Cache, up to 1.83 GHz).
1 GB RAM
16 GB Storage
I have formatted the internal 16 GB storage to FAT32 and installed RemixOS from a USB stick plugged in to the tablet via an OTG adapter.
I installed Remix OS with this:
> This instruction only supports device using UEFI Boot method. If your device is Legacy boot, this instruction is NOT applicable.
> Prepare a USB flash drive with Remix OS installed & Boot from USB flash drive
> Choose ‘Resident mode’, press ‘e’
> Delete ‘USB_PARTITION=1’ in the command line
> add ‘INSTALL=1 vga=ask’
> Press ‘F10’ to boot
> The installation will take place automatically.
I choose the partition, the install is working and then either I come to the flashing Remix OS logo and it not progressing or I come to the Select language but the screen is so distorted that I cannot do anything (see the attached photo).
Anyone have got Remix OS to work on a Wisebook or similar tablet?

May I ask you something. I would like to clean install window 10 on CSC wisebook w803t so how can I boot from usb or sd card. I have tried to boot but still not working. The boot override doesn't show the usb or sd card for booting but I can boot the usb and sd card in other devices.

Hi
The CSC WISEBOOK 803T does not support boot from the SD card slot. So you need a USB to micro USB adapter and plug it in to the charging port.
Make sure the CSC WISEBOOK 803T is fully charged before starting install as you cannot charge it while you install.
You also need to change the BIOS settings so it will start from the USB drive. Hit DEL to enter BIOS on startup, you connect a keyboard and the bootable USB stick so you need a USB hub or something like it connected to the CSC WISEBOOK 803T.
That should be it, it should boot to Windows 10 setup if the original Windows 8 boot partition is still on the CSC WISEBOOK803T. If that partition is deleted you may need to partition it before you can proceed.

You can change the setting in BIOS for the USB device. Change USB storage device type to something else and then you can Save the changes and force a boot from the USB device from the BIOS save page.
