if you need linux just for cooking, dont install it to harddrive.. just throwit on some usb drive and run it live..
use pendrivelinux or yumi to make live linux on usb.

Good morning,
to start my kitchen, I download the original VIBEROM image file, redhookbay-ota-VIBEROM_V1.0_1418_DEV_K900.zip but if I extract it on the "IN" folder I haven't the .img packages to mount (e.g. the system folder is already unpacked):
Also, after that, I get only the system.img file but in other release I used before, e.g. the one for the VIVO, I had the way to pack directly the image to flash. Here which one is the next step?
Thank you,

redhookbay-ota-VIBEROM_V1.0_1418_DEV_K900.zip - this is ordinary zip file, K900 kitchen is not working with OTA zip archives. To start working with kitchen you need to put in the /in/ folder only system.img, system.img.gz, or any INB file (to unpack it). Only like this.

Extract system.IMG from your downloaded ROM
After extracting system.IMG install Linux reader (free software google it)
Using Linux reader open IMG file and extract system ui apk and paste it to system/app via any root file manager ....
Else use adb fast boot method to flash system.IMG in fast boot mode ...(this method will unroot your device )
All the best ?

any help please
If any of you have install Remix OS as a dual boot or in the internal storage then Remix OS can be updated with ease. Please don't delete your data.img file during this process.
1. Copy the new *.iso files in the package and overwrite the older one.
2. Generate the bootable usb drive drive with included usb tool and copy all the content from the usb to your Remix drive. Overwrite files if necessary.
3. Reboot your pc/laptop/tablet to remix os. It will take some time to update.
4. Voila! Remix os has been updated with battery icon and other small fixes.
What about pre-rooted system.img ? I use a rooted remix os and if I use this method, will it affect the system.img?

will require manual re-rooting....by whichever method you acquired?
but...who has a copy of the updated iso?
The latest update of the Remix OS 2.0.202 now has pre-rooted feature. no need to install the super user or any other root apps, simply by changing the file init.img with the one that has a R/W system and we are now rooted( cause the original init.img from jide still has R/O system in it), nice feature Jide and TY for great OS
oh ya, for who is not having this update, it is in unstable version. tap 5 time Remix OS version in setting/about to make available option in the 3rd unstable version remix OS ( stable enough for me)
note: keep and backup the original files init.img as will be needed for OTA update
because if the original file is missing or replaced OTA update will fail..
enjoy it..
Cannot find init.img file that has a R/W system
This is really cool and I have just updated my Remix OS installation with the latest update (2.0.202) but I don't know where to find the init.img file that has a R/W system in order to have root access. Thanks for your help...

u can download init file that has R/W system 32 bit or 64 bit , here
can you share the download link with files of 2.0.202 version, because when i click reboot and install button it goes straight to Windows and does nothing !?
Thanks in advance
Where i put the initrd.img on my remix os drive ? Prerooted features means that I can install application that needs root or not ?

put init file in where u install remix os in RemixOS folder, yes pre-rooted means it already rooted from the 1st u update remix to version 2.0.202, and if u want u can update root feature with superSU directly from Remix after booting from playstore,
I am not getting root even after adding the intrd.img. Yes, I am using 2.0.202.
Root behaviour is same as previous build for me i.e. Alt&F1 has root; system doesn't.
@arts821 any chance you are using 32bit?
I have root anyway; using my system-less root ramdisk.img; just curious on how the stock su via settings works...
Also changing to a rw initrd shouldn't be needed for root to work as in OP, but is needed to alter ant system files; but note mounting system as rw will break OTA and require restoring an unaltered version.
No root access with this
Hmm..maybe not all system have this feature, try install supersu from play store to make sure as u can see in my screenshot the root feature icon is setting icon, and yes I using 32bit remix, and wipe all my data.img(fresh install)
It seems only 32bit is rooted, which sucks because I like using all my RAM, I have 8gb ram, lol.
I could not install the .202 although I am using stock version. After click reboot and install it just reboots to old version. Please give download link with sysmtem file of the new version !?
Ps: I am using it on z3740 cpu tablet
can someone upload version 2.0.202? cause my laptop processor won't boot any previous version and this version provides a special fix for it. Compress system from img to sfs using RMXTools, kernel and initrd files and archive them, I will replace them in my iso.
Thanks in advance..
I guess it's not possible do to change the file in Remix Mini since root would be need to change that file...isn't it?

dumb question, will placing that file in a 2.0.102 build give root?

Yes, and no. If you are on 32bit your good to go but 64bit is a no go.

Are you on 64 or 32bit?
I have 64bit remix and 32bit phoenix done; will need a copy of 32bit Remix to do one for that (the phoenix one might work as is)
64 is at the top here
i'm on 32bit, replaced initrd.img, installed super su, but no root for me, i tap 5 time Remix OS version in setting/about to make available option in the 3rd unstable version remix OS but no root after reboot
EDIT: FIXED i'm on dual boot, entered from windows, deleted data.img and system. img, copied again system.img from remixos iso, tapped 5 time Remix OS version in setting/about to make available option in the 3rd unstable version remix OS, tested in terminal su command and now it's all ok!
Could anyone guide me how to get my hands on tools that can do what rmxtools basically does but on linux that is extract .sfs to .img then unpack and repack img and root the img, rmxtools 1.8fix doesn't seem to be working on win 7 64bit and win8.1 64 bit.

I had tried android_img_repack_tools, also in xda but it didn't help. I can unpack and extract img files easily in linux but the repacking of img files doesn't work. Squashfs tools can extract and repack but the file doesn't work when trying to boot and install remix os. The size of the new sfs file is smaller as compared to the original sfs file even though files are being added. So it could be that the compression is not recognised.

When you say "doesn't work" what do you mean? Are you seeing the grub menu? Which USB tool are you using?
I use that method when I modify PhoenixOS, I just use. It's the same thing RMX Tools uses. I think you may have different problems.
Use SuperR. It works. Make sure to set as raw image.
