When you boot up press "e" to edit the boot info, place DEBUG=2 into the script after 'androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64' so it looks like 'androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 DEBUG=2' hit F10 (softly)
Debug boot should begin.
Type exit when prompted, ignore any warnings that might come up concerning hardware not being picked up, type "exit" when prompted to do so to move on. After a few times typing "exit", does an error like this continue to roll up your screen: "init: Couldn't probe module 'net-pf-16-proto-5' "? :fingers-crossed:

A quick question. Are there any other drives connected?
You could try actually install it onto your SSD from the boot up.. Your SSD would need 2 partitions though.. One is FAT32 (around 3GB large) and the other can be FAT32 or NTFS, it wont make a difference. If you want to know how to do the install from boot then just send a reply asking.
I have just tried with a different machine and I'm getting a full SELinux error. I doubt that there is anything that we would do.. (I'm not pro enough to go reading through the actual OS files... ) Not all PC's are supported unfortunately. Mine is not, I have had better luck running Remix OS in Virtual Box, well... before the latest release at least. Now I'm getting errors that seem to have been around since Android_x86 project began.
Another option would be to try the Legacy version if your motherboard is able to boot legacy. (Sorry, have not tried looking at your MoBo)
My advice (which I am also following) would be to be patient and just hold out for a while. Until the next update comes along for us to try.
More support is intended on being added with every release.
all my files is in a fat32 partitions and work on my laptop is just my pc ... wont works
Are there any other drives connected?
yes i have 4 drive with my pc
If it is working on your laptop then settle with that for now.
No, not other drives would be recommended, just saw them in the debug at the beginning.
The error that seems to be coming up for you and I (this is as far as I understand) has to do with kernel security settings as to what to allow on boot. The issue can arise when certain files have not been given the policy labels that they require to run. So they effectively get denied constantly. This is likely where a lot of the added hardware support will sort things out... I'm also running an NVidia Card.. could be the drivers needed..(although that would not explain why VM's don't work)
Sorry that I cannot help you mate.. This is going too deep into the realm that I know little about when it comes to the actual stuff. I follow instructions when having to make a change to my Linux distro.
I do envy you having the latest version working on a device. My laptop wont boot for me either.
You could try the Andriod_x86 forums and see what the common threads are. Seeing as Jide is using android_x86 as a base.
If anyone else knows more and is able to shed light on the matter, please do so? I am also up to correction on my statements.
I asked the same question on other forums and on google group

ty for your poste
I know its not an answer to your question, but have you tried the new 2 February version? I have got it working in VirtualBox atm.
This is my first time posting on the website so I apologise ahead of time. I am trying to dual boot my laptop with Remix OS. It is the Asus ROG GL551JW-DS71 (i7 4720hq, 16 gb ram, 1 tb hdd, gtx 960m, windows 8.1, if anything else is needed, let me know). I've done some research and it seems that it might be an issue with my GPU. I've tried putting the "nouveau.modeset =" and what not but I can't get it to load past the "ANDROID [email protected]_x86_64:/ #" I put "DEBUG=1" in the Grub line thing and I took pictures of my screen. I'm not sure what site you guys would like me to use to upload so I'll upload them once someone lets me know. Thanks in advance!
Have you searched for a disable dedicated/discrete graphics in BIOS? You need to disable it, because Remix will not boot with your GTX960M enabled.
If you don't have that option, then I'm sorry but for now you will be able to boot only using software rendering; graphics handled by the CPU. This means a less stable experience and less performance, but it will work 100%
Add this in the kernel grub line:
Code:
androidboot.swrast=1

Try to add "nomodeset" instead of "nouveau.modeset =".
nomodeset might work, but it's highly unlikely.
I've made a guide for these kind of problems today: http://forum.xda-developers.com/remix/remix-os/solution-problems-booting-remix-os-dual-t3466027

I have looked for that option in my bios and I couldn't find it. I forgot to mention in my original posting that I had my Windows reinstalled with because the hard drive failed. I don't believe that I have the option to boot to the UEFI so I wonder if that has to do anything. I tried putting the "androidboot.swrast=1" code after the kernel line in the GRUB line editor thingy and I got it to boot. It's a bit unstable and the screen tends to tear when I move a large window around. The only problem now is how to make it permanent. I tried editing the file that was mentioned in some guides but it doesn't seem to stick.

I have tried both of the commands and it still hands at the Android root part. Are there any other commands or combination of commands that could work? I don't have an option in my bios to disable my gtx 960m and there isn't an option to boot to the UEFI. I wonder if the Windows reinstall due to a hard drive failure has something to do with it. Thanks in advance!
MOST RECENT REMIX VERSION TESTED WITH THE GUIDE: 3.0.206
If you have a PC (laptop, desktop, tablet, hybrid) with a dual graphics card combo (like Intel + NVIDIA, Intel + AMD, AMD + AMD) and experience problems booting Remix OS then this is a potential solution/workaround for you (until it's officially fixed):
IF YOU USED UNOFFICIAL METHODS FOR REMIX INSTALLATION, THESE SHOULD, BUT MIGHT NOT WORK FOR YOU
Try the methods available in the next section if your PC hangs on one of these during the boot sequence:
ANDROID [email protected]_x86_64:/ # (if you have an external display plugged in, disconnect it and try again, if persists, read on)
Remix OS logo (is your hdd / USB stick fast enough?)
“_” in the top left corner (above may also apply, other possibilities are badblocks or badsectors apparent on the hard drive, so check for those if the below guide doesn't help)
Before we begin, you need to know how to edit grub menuentries (NON PERSISTENT - ONE BOOT ONLY):
LEGACY boot - don't apply the exact solutions provided there, just follow the scheme.
UEFI boot - don't apply the exact solutions provided there, just follow the scheme.
Find your scenario and add given parameters to the GRUB menuentry kernel line:
One of your graphics cards is Intel
This applies only to Remix versions 3.0.205 and older.
Code:
EXTMOD=i915
This parameter enforces initiating Intel driver module first - sets Intel card as primary.
NONE of your grapics cards is Intel:
Code:
nomodeset androidboot.swrast=1
"nomodeset" disables "the kernel mode setting" (tells
the kernel to not set the graphic resolution, let X do that instead).
androidboot.swrast=1 enforces software graphics rendering.
All graphics will be handled by the CPU - has drawbacks; lower stability and performance, but will work 99% times - 1% is when your CPU is not supported
If the above allowed you to successfully boot:
Report your problem and solution in the official feedback form here:
Remix OS for PC User Feedback
Now you need to make the change persistent:
For Remix OS installed on hard drive:
LEGACY BOOT:Apply adequate changes to grub.cfg or menu.lst file in your Remix OS installation folder. Editing both files won't hurt
UEFI BOOT: Apply adequate changes to EFI:/boot/grub/grub.cfg file in your ESP (EFI System Partition) - example path Z:/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Instruction on how to access grub.cfg file on Windows
BEWARE, ACCIDENTALLY REMOVING OR MODIFYING SOME FILES FROM ESP PARTITION WILL RENDER SYSTEMS NOT BOOTABLE - WILL REQUIRE RECOVERY TOOLS.
To access ESP, you need to:
start cmd.exe as administrator
Kill Explorer -> Mount the ESP -> Start the Explorer as admin using below commands:
Code:
taskkill /f /im explorer.exe
mountvol Z: /s
explorer.exe
If you fail to mount the system partition then it's probably already mounted. Start notepad as administrator then browse My computer and you should find a SYSTEM drive - that's ESP.
Edit & save the EFI:/boot/grub/grub.cfg file
Reboot and test if the changes worked(if you reboot into Windows, the ESP should be inaccessible again - it automatically unmounts upon restart)
For Remix OS installed on a USB stick:
You will need to access USB partition labeled REMIXOSSYS.
Filesystem of this partition is not supported by Windows, so without any 3rd party apps you won't be able to modify the needed files.
You will need to either use a Linux distribution or edit from Remix OS on other device. Be dexterous
LEGACY BOOT:Apply adequate changes to REMIXOSSYS:/SYSLINUX.CFG
UEFI BOOT: Apply adequate changes to REMIXOSSYS:/boot/grub/grub.cfg
Add a post with your results after using the guide and hit Thanks it it worked for you List your device brand and model & GPUs models + Remix OS version
Special thanks and credits go to @masaykh for helping me make this guide and pointing out some mistakes.
Disclaimer:
Currently parameter X.modeset=0/1 does NOT work, because of recent changes made to driver modules handling.
This thread and discussed problem is known to Remix OS dev team and they are working on it. Let's hope that one of the future updates fixes it.
Less relevant info:
Guide was written in desktop mode, if it looks bad in Tapatalk then blame the app
Does this apply to laptops as well? I don't have an option to disable the dGPU on my Asus ROG laptop. The nouveau and nomodeset commands and it still hangs on the Android root part after it loads the kernel. Help!
Have you tried with step 4. (androidboot.swrast=1) ?
Laptops are PCs too I'll edit OP to prevent confusion.
Also please don't quote the OP (opening post). Use "@"username instead - lots of space saves for better reading and scrolling experience.

Just wondering... can you use, both Gpu's?
Aka.. dualscreen or stretched desktop option
Cheers
@mitchell4you
Currently Remix OS allows only mirrored external display. This kind of feature is handled by the single GPU only, but that's how it works for all devices.
Some devices with dual gpu can boot without changing anything like in this guide, but that applies only to Lollipop Remix.

@Vioner Thank you for your awesome guide. I finally boot RemixOS on my laptop but I have a problem. I couldn't this method permanent. there is no file in the /boot/grub/grub.cfg in my RemixOS installation folder. Could you more specific about making this permanent. I have to do all this manually on bootmenu to boot RemixOS. BTW my Nvidia GPU is running on RemixOS not the integrated one and my laptop is hot more than it should . Is that Normal? Thanks in advance
@alali44 which option worked for you? Are you sure it's the nvidia gpu that's working?
Which boot type do u have? Are you sure it's uefi? Path you referred to is for uefi only.
Also remember to hit thanks when it's the right thing to do

I am pretty sure because nvidia cpu is running cause there is a color in my laptop power button that shows that. It is UEFI i am sure about that as well.
BTW what do you mean by saying that which option worked for you? I did all of your steps. To be more specific I add the kernel line of remix os in grub menu:
nouveau.modeset=0
nomodeset
androidboot.swrast=1(There is no option in my bios to disable nvidia cpu)
And after that RemixOS was opened but I can't this method permanent because of lack of file in boot folder.
Thanks in advance
@alali44 thanks for reporting. I guess I wasn't clear enough in the guide - I meant to do steps one after another in order but independently from each other - do not combine them together - it's like 4 different methods. I'll reedit the post to make this clear. Please check again which point helped.
About persistent change - you have UEFI, so follow instructions how to access the EFI partition and the grub.cfg file - go back to the guide.

@Sands207 but do you have 2 graphics cards? This guide is for dual GPU.
If you have only one graphics card then only scenarios 2. and 3. might help you. DO NOTE that I've recently made a major update to the OP - it's significantly changed.

Fan speed
I have a notebook with Intel i7 6700HQ and NVIDIA GTX 950m
with code EXTMOD=i915 it run in good resolution (1920x1080) but with fan and CPU at 100%
with code nomodeset it run low resolution (800x600) but CPU run better
Sorry for bad English
Thank you in advance
@zirrott I have the exact same cpu and gpu, but I haven't noticed the fans going 100%. Need to test more to be sure.
With nomodeset you won't get any good performance in games or video.
It has 3D accelleration disabled and it's like I described in the OP - utilizes simple drivers that focus only on allowing you to boot and do basic stuff.
Hello I have a AMD HD 7770 1gb video card and Remix was running perfect on it but for some reason it has reverted to internal Intel 4000 and won't go back to AMD card. How do I tell Grub command line to use AMD and disable Intel?
@Sentario modify grub menuentry by adding "EXTMOD=radeon" to the kernel line.
I bet that is the problem I'm having. The graphics seem downgrade. I have a AMD Radeon R9 200 Series card. They should add a graphics card option in Remix OS to where it can be set to what ever we are using and then reboot.
Intel
AMD
Nvidia
and more.
@Dunard
Recent Remix release enforces using Intel GPU if it's present. It's only a temporary solution to a major problem with users being unable to boot Remix OS on dual gpu devices.
In the future graphic cards support should get much better.
EXTMOD=radeon
Just wanted to say thank you as this did work and my Remix is back on Radeon GPU. Thank You. :good:

Is it a file I need to put that code in? I'm so confuse.
i think i may be having this issue as well. used to run fine. i guess it was about the time i got my R9 390x video card that it quit booting. I did some research about where to input that extmod=radeon but made it as far as pressing e when you are on the remix os boot page. It pulls up the area where i think im supposed to add the extmod=radeon command but i'm not sure where it should go. Some help would be great. A google search on extmod=radeon didnt pull up much for me. Thanks much

There two links as well. Giving you hint where you put that at.
Hi XDA community, since I don't have enough power to land this on other forums I choose here.
First, this is my disclaimer:
Please try this at home at your own risk, the steps performed on this guide worked for me and may work for you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But come on, this is XDA, you will figure it out without problems.:fingers-crossed:
Second, the good thing about this is you only need 3 ingredients:
Old tablet, The HP Stream 7 tablet SPECS
Precious Disk Space :victory:
Sweet Internet
W00t? no USB or Keyboard required? Yes, that's why it took me a while to glue the pieces together. Now, here we go:
I suggest to download PhoenixOS (November Release v1.1.2-226), because it worked for me immediately, I have an issue with RemixOS that I didn't try to fix it yet, I got stuck on the "Select Language" screen, but the steps may work for you.
Now, free disk space on your tablet, I did the upgrade to Windows 10 a while back and I had almost 1GB left on C, that's ridiculous because the drive has 20GB-ish, so, I google (yes, you need to do your homework too because I did the steps on the fly) how to recover space from the greedy Windows 10 OS, I removed a lot of useless info/cache/downloads/apps/etc and even compressed the Windows binaries (yes, you can do that). Concerned about Windows performance? be not, it works faster than ever. After the next steps this may seem useless but free space is free space, you'll need it later on life.
After all that dark magic, I was able to reclaim 10GB-ish, yeah!, but then realized I had 8GB more on the tablet "lost", this is the recovery partition for Windows 10, now, this is something that you may think of because you can get rid of all that info and reclaim what is yours, that partition is for you, but maybe you wont so this is one of these life choices. I did, I don't care about recovery stuff, most of my gadgets have custom ROMs or OSes. Used Minitool Partition Wizard Free and managed to reclaim the precious Disk Space.
Important thing here, some users Shrink the drive C to create a new partition, I didn't, used the 8GB partition instead.
We have Disk Space available, now, we prepare the operations table:
Disable Bitlocker on the drive you want to install the new OS.
Disable Secure Boot, power off the device and press Power+VolDown for a few seconds until you're on the BIOS.
Boot on Windows and install the Android OS flavor you want, I'll split the installation in two because for RemixOS is harder.
NOTE: Remember that grub doesn't support touch and both Android OSes grub have Windows as first OS to boot and kids, there is the key.
PhoenixOS
Download the OS
Extract it and run the installer
Select install to Hard Drive and install it on the Drive desired (I did that on E: which is the 8GB partition).
Restart and let the system do the job, you'll land on Windows again.
In Windows, as you read on the NOTE, we need to change grub.
Open Windows Powershell ISE in Admin mode (yeah yeah, yo can use whatever you want)
Then execute the command
Code:
mountvol B: /s
With this you'll be able to see the contents from the UEFI partition
Now, remember to select view all files, with WPISE open the grub.cfg file located on
Code:
B:\EFI\PhoenixOS\
Put the Windows entry below the PhoenixOS entry, change the grub timeout to 3 or whatever timeout you want, this change is for faster boot, save the file and you're ready to go.
Restart the system, press Power+VolDown -> F9, Select the PhoenixOS, let grub do the magic and you win
Notes about PhoenixOS
Phoenix OS installation, straight-forward on the 8GB partition
Needed to change Grub but friendlier than RemixOS
Keyboard behaves weird, you need to be accurate when using your fingers
When using browser and playing videos the tablet heats up hard
Rotation is wrong, I selected not to use rotation so I can use the UI without problems
Is fast, Wireless work
Something I saw one time is it got stuck when showing my user recently booted, restarted the device and then it worked again.
Video after the break.
Veredict: It works for me and can play with Android in a tablet without the need to buy another.
RemixOS
It supposed to have more support for things but looks like PhoenixOS has more . Not going to start a war here, I always try to find what suits best for me .
RemixOS is a pain on this tablet with the newest November 2016 version, I need to play more and harder.
You do almost the same as PhoenixOS, the installer is easy as well but it shows you an installation issue the first time, you need to restart the device and try the installation again. After that it was a game of try and fail but I sorted out the pieces.
Restart and you'll be on Windows again, well, let the system land on Windows and modify grub, kind of same as PhoenixOS:
Open Windows Powershell ISE in Admin mode
Then execute the command
Code:
mountvol B: /s
With this you'll be able to see the contents from the UEFI partition
Now, with WPISE open the grub.cfg file located on
Code:
B:\boot\grub\
Remember to select view all files
Put the Windows entry below the RemixOS entries, save the file, change the timeout and you're ready to go.
For RemixOS you also need to change the timeout for the theme.cfg file on
Code:
B:\EFI\RemixOS\
Restart the system, press Power+VolDown -> F9, Select the OS Bootloader, let grub do the magic (after some errors, just let it be) and you win (see, no hands mom!), well, sort of because it freezes :silly:.
I'll try to do more tests with RemixOS and see what happens.
Is this guide enough for you, not? blame the Internet or leave your comments.
Enjoy.
Thanks for the info.
I'm not getting any sound with PhoenixOS. WiFi is OK but sound & Bluetooth is not functional. Any suggestions ?
I've experimented with RemixOS as well...... sound works but it's very laggy and touch-screen / rotation is unresponsive. PhoenixOS is very stable and far far better but no sound :crying:

Could you please explain the installation instructions?
Any news? I tried newest phoenix, but it´s way too heavy for it. Runs very slow. The older lollipop works better. The touchscreen is more a problem, it´s like a tablet from hell, very bad sensitivity.
The "Trekstor Surftab Xintron i 7.0" should be the same hardware and has android, so there could be a way to install this or at least use the touchscreen drive in phoenix. But I´m afraid of bricking it.
