Hi, I have made a Multiboot USB-stick witch contains Win 7 install, Ubuntu Live, Hiren's and many other distros. But is it possible to some how move the files from the external SD-card on my android phone and make the computers boot directly from the phone?
Can you in that case force the phone to use the right usb-mode so that the computer recognizes it as a ordinary bootable USB-stick?
I saw some old post from 2009 where some user managed to get a computer too boot BCD from the phone. But the catch was that he had to click the "mount usb" on the phone directly after the PC started booting. And many computers may have passed the booting point before the USB-mode had finished mounting.
I tried booting Damn Small Linux from my Supersonic earlier with no luck. Android requires certain drivers to mount and the BIOS typically has the bare minimum to boot from USB, DVD, and HDD.

Ah I'm sorry. Needed to sleep some more.. it sounds like that would be difficult to do though. You would need the phone to be mounted as USB before the computer even started booting. That's way beyond me though, good luck.

It seems feasible. Never tried it..
But, i would start by looking for an app called unetbootin. Its a free app that allows you to build a bootable flash drive. I've used is several times with actual flash drives. As long as your device is setup to allow the pc to mount it as a disk, in theory it should work.
As far as android accessing the disk after its been formatted, i have no idea.
I boot in with dual sd and yumi. But I think my boot file configuration is wrong or what..cus I'm trying to boot spotmau 2011. Which is unlisted iso. Anyone can provide a small bootable file so I can try boot it..

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble with the new version of Remix OS 2 Beta.
I am running a 64 bit machine, and downloaded the correct version. I used the installation tool (not the original usb tool, but the one that allows you to install to the C drive) and it appeared that everything was installed correctly "BUT". When i boot i get the two options (Windows 10, Remix OS). I choose the Remix OS option, and it gives me an error (remixos/kernel error). So, i did some research and it says that the os might not recognize that i have a 64 bit machine. I then proceeded with the same installation but 32 bit this time since it should allow me to use that version if i have a 64 bit machine right? It allows me to boot, but then stays in limbo on the ASUS boot screen until i restart. any suggestions.
Have the same exact issue. Are you booting with legacy or efi

Take the intrid.img from the Android x86 project of 5.1.1 and replace that on the usb before install. Worked for me. Rinning Beta 64bit now wheni could only run 32bit before.

Run it off the USB. When option comes for resident or guest hit tab and add to the line (or e for edit) INSTALL=1
I have a 64 bit machine and it installed fine. I don't think I had to change any setting from the installer. Wouldn't work with the alpha but the beta installed and booted right up. When it was installing there was like an 8 minute timeframe where it seemed it wasn't doing anything and my monitor (an hd tv) was getting no signal but I just let it keep running and finally it came back on and it booted right up. I installed to the harddrive also btw.
Thank you all for your feed back. I will try some of your suggestions in the morning. I didn't think I would get a response this fast haha. Thanks again for now.

I tried both ways and and with efi just got the kernel issue. It seems that everything installed correctly but when I choose remix OS it tries to boot and I get the remixos/kernel error
This sounds exactly the same issue than I have with Dell Venue 11 pro (7140). It has Windows 10 installed and secure boot is disabled in BIOS. I can select Remix OS in boot menu but then the following errors are displayed Remix OS doesn't start:
error: 'ntfs' is already loaded.
error: 'exfat' is already loaded.
error: no such device: /RemixOS/kernel.
error: file '/RemixOS/kernel' not found.
error: you need to load the kernel first.

You have as 64-bit capable CPU, as detailed on http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-Atom-Z3736F-Tablet-SoC.122214.0.html
So 64-bit beta should work for you. Don't know why 32-bit UEFI systems have this issue.
However I'll inform you as soon as I update my Grub2Win guide.
Sent from my Moto G using XDA Labs
This GUIDE was originally made for those with a 64-bit processor but 32-bit UEFI Windows installation. But it didn't work for any of them. However, those who don't like to make changes to their Windows Bootloader may follow this guide now, since this method enables you to use a CD or DVD too!
This guide is divided into two parts -
1. grub4dos guide using EasyBCD
2. Super GRUB2 Disk Guide
Using Super Grub2 Disk-​
*Create a folder named "RemixOS" in the root directory of any of your partitions. If you had used the Official RemixOS Installation Tool before this guide, the directory may already be created. Important: Backup your data.img by moving to some other directory. Use UninstallRemixOS.exe to remove the current installtion.
1. Copy and paste the folder efi and the the following files from your RemixOS ISO to "RemixOS" folder you created earlier-
-initrd.img
-install.img
-kernel
-ramdisk.img
-system.img
*data.img, if you had installed RemixOS previously.
2. Now in the root of any of your partition, create a folder named grub2. Download the appropriate zip file from my this post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/dual-boot-remixos-windows-usb-drive-t3324359/
3. Now, extract grub.cfg inside this zip to the grub2 you just created.
4. Download Super Grub2 Disk (CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 (ISO). If that doesn't work for you, you may try Super Grub2 Disk (Floppy, CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 [x86_64-efi] (ISO). Make a bootable USB of the ISO you downloaded or if you have a CD-Drive, you may burn the ISO to a CD and boot from it too!
*See second post for downloads and How to make bootable USB and boot RemixOS.
Recommended download (Floppy, CD & USB in one) (Valid for i386, x86_64, and x86_64-efi):
Super Grub2 Disk (CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 (ISO)
CD & USB version, (valid for x86_64-efi only):
Super Grub2 Disk (Floppy, CD & USB in one) 2.02s3 [x86_64-efi] (ISO)
How to make bootable USB:
1. Download Rufus. Rufus 2.7
2. Run it.
3. Select Device as your USB drive. Partition scheme and target system type as MBR partition scheme for UEFI. File system as FAT32. Under Format Options, create a bootable disk using ISO Image. Click the CD-ROM icon to browse the ISO file. Select ISO image as the one you downloaded. (If it changes to DD Image, don't worry. Proceed anyway). Click on Start.
4. Close application and restart Windows after your USB is ready. Boot from USB. (Key to enter Boot Options Menu is usually Esc or F12)
5. In boot menu, select Detect and show boot methods.
6. After you enter, choose RemixOS - Resident Mode.

When trying to flash the ISO image it won't let me change it to mbr for uefi. Instead it changes the image type from ISO to DD. After flashing it that way the drive won't boot. I went to the super grub website and redownloaded the image from there, but it was indeed the same ISO and it did the same thing.

Asus T100 uses Intel Atom Z3740, a 64bit processor. So use the 64-bit version of Remix OS. The 64-bit version of Remix OS also has UEFI, which makes making the drive easier, and booting faster. Make the bootable USB as per instructions, and disable secure boot in your BIOS. You should then be able to boot from the USB.
it won't work. T100 has 64bit processor but a 32bit system

Ok I just did it so, here is how I did it. Use gparted, from gparted.org, booted up, partitioned, small 500MB FAT32 formated partition, second partition EXT4 the rest, 58GB+. Then took 32bit beta using JIDE's tool to put on a USB stick. Booted the stick and when it came up, entered e, to enter grub boot config. On the second line removed the part after and put INSTALL=1. Installed android to the larger partition, then installed grub, grub efi, formated, then rebooted. Side loaded google services from this forum and it works. Bugs, biggest issue is no audio. Let me know if you have any luck.

From windows:
1) Dowmload and unpack RMX installer everywere you want (you will have a folder called RMX installer).
2) enter on RMX installer folder and execute the .EXE file.
3) Browse for the Remix OS .ISO file (use the 64 bits one, works like a charm for me )and choose the Data size (will create the data.img file).
4) disable secure boot and fast boot in your BIOS.
5) Boot and you will see the grub menu with Remix OS and Windows options.

OK but Asus t100 only uses 32bit which isn't a problem. And I don't have windows on it I have anot her computer that has windows on it but the Asus t100 has no OS at the moment I'm trying to install remix on it without installing windows so if the RMX Installer only works with a Windows installed then I have no use for it
Yes I'm having the same problem, with the new T100 that has both OS and CPU 64 bit.
The thing is, whatever you do grub won't detect either an external SD card or the keyboard dock's HDD as a boot option. They don't even show up in BIOS ! The only possibility seems to be booting from internal storage, which is too limited to dual boot Windows + Remix OS.
Anyone has tips for this ?
Thanks

Then took 32bit beta using JIDE's tool to put on a USB stick. Booted the stick and when it came up, entered e, to enter grub boot config. On the second line removed the part after and put INSTALL=1. Installed android to the larger partition, then installed grub, grub efi, formated, then rebooted. Side loaded google services from this forum and it works. Bugs, biggest issue is no audio. Let me know if you have any luck.
V/R,
Gary

how can i install grub? i tried every method found in the internet but non of them worked.
please help
I am trying to set up several old laptops for 5th and 6th grade students to use this summer. I would like to set up the laptops to boot only Remix OS. Can someone please steer me to a tutorial for this? I would like to have a single partition.
(I haven't tried this so I might be misspoken)
Create a bootable usb; and either find the grub entry (grub.cfg for UEFI; menu.lst for legacy bios)
and add a INSTALL=* entry. It doesn't matter what you put here, as long as INSTALL has a value.
Or boot the usb and edit the boot entry when you get to the Resident / Guest screen adding the INSTALL=* as above.
This should start an installer of sorts and you should be able to format the harddrive and all from there.
Again, I haven't ran it this way; but that should be essentially how it should work.
Hopefully someone who has will confirm.

These laptops have no operating system on them. Would I be able to install gparted on the USB?

Yes, gparted is live from usb
I have deleted all partitions on the hard drive. Now I want to install Remix OS on the hard drive and boot up from the hard drive. I'm computer literate but I need help with this. I know many others would like to have clear guidance. Can anyone help?

I'd format the drives as ext4; then boot the usb adding the INSTALL=1 to the grub. And go from there.
You should be able to format to ext4 with the usb as well: adding DEBUG=1 and running make_ext4 /dev/block/sda or whatever the drive is.
OK here is what I tried:
OK I tried the following:
1. Booted on Remix USB
2. Entered <TAB> at screen
3. Erased last part of the line including "quiet"
4. Entered INSTALL=1
5. Pressed <ENTER>
6. At screen to "Choose Partition" selected Create/modify selected sda
7. At screen "Use GPT" selected Yes
8. At screen to select partition Selected Partition 4 (this was the Windows partition)
9. Selected <Write> partition table
10.Selected 0700 (MS basic data)
11.Formated Partition 4 FAT32
12.When asked to "Install GRUB?" <Skip>
13.When asked to "Install EFI GRUB2?" <Skip>
14."Install /System image RW?" <Yes>
15."Installing Android-x86" Write 2629012 KB 0% to 100% displayed
16.At prompt "Create Disk Image to save user data?" <Yes>
17."Max size set to 2047
18."Creating data.img"
19."Syncing to disk"
20."Run Android x86 or Reboot?" <Run>
21. Remix logo and loads. Setup completed.
22. On reboot the boot process wasn't present, went to "Recovery" screen????
What should I do differently?

Try this step,
HDD install
When I get to choose a partition screen I can't hit the OK button or scroll or even hit the cancel button?
At the select partition screen I cant hit the OK button
Change value"androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 to remix_x86" if u use 32 bit remix os
