[Need Help] Blinking Cursor after install. - Remix OS for PC

Hello, I was trying to install Remix OS (i686 version) on my Acer aspire one without dualboot by booting from USB drive and installing with a INSTALL=1 key.
After the 'reboot to android-x86' at the end of the installer Remix OS boots up and everything works as far as I checked.
But after rebooting the system only thing I get after BIOS is blinking underscore cursor.
I have tried to install Remix OS with different file systems (fat, ext4), with and without GRUB but still I get only the blinking cursor.
Is it something I am doing wrong or is it a bug with the installer?

Sorry to drag this thread up, but did you ever manage to solve this? I'm having a right nightmare trying to get this installed... Constantly a flashing cursor after install - doesn't seem to matter what way I create the boot disk.
It runs fine stand alone off the USB, or running it after the install has finished... but never after a reboot.

Blinking cursor
I was tryed run remix OS from flashdrive on Chuwi Hi10 tablet with same result, flashing cursor. I was then try run remixOS with log mode and then look into logfile. There was some information about missing drivers for MMC internal storage. I actualy didn't get over that problem. Maybe it is same problem with your PC.

Windows boot

ive installed remix os and configure it as default os but now im unable to boot windows is there any solution to this withoout having recovery cd or usb plz help
82 views no reply need help plz
You made it the default os, thats the problem. If you can get an app which can change the boot sequence from remix os, than you can fix it without the recovery disk, otherwise you will need the recovery disk. I am saying all this assuming you have actually installed remix os on your harddisk. If your booting remix os from a usb, remove the usb before booting up your pc
more info would be nice...like how and where you installed remix os.
if on the same hdd but different partition, i m sure you replaced the windows bootloader.
if on another hdd, try going into the boot menu during post and select the different hdd and see.

Stuck on detecting Android x86.......... (UEFI/SSD)

I don't really know what's going on here. I think it's maybe UEFI related. I own an Asus Zenbook Pro (model UX501VW in case if that matters). I can't get Remix OS 2.0 Beta urnning on my SSD. I've already disabled Secure Boot and Fast Boot but I always get stuck on "Detecting Android x86.............." infinite bootloop.
Installed it with the official tool in the original partition (C
Installed it in a secondary partition (D:, FAT32)
Used EasyBCD
Used Unetbootin
Used Grub2Win (interestingly, It leads to a blackscreen instead of the other error)
In fact. I'm not able to run it. I know that the ISO isn't corrupted because I can run it in VMWare Workstation.
Any thoughts?
Same here
In which field its stuck on booting or on build the rom
  
It doesn't even build the partition to install the ROM on it. Even if I create the partition by myself, it will show the same problem.
In the screen where you have to select boot RemixOS or Windows, just press c and go to grub> prompt. Type ls and see what is your HDD partition structure. You can also press e and go to check actual install command. You may have to make changes to /efi/boot/grub.cfg. I can help.

Remix OS on hard disk without dual boot?

I have a spare netbook lying around in the house
Can I install Remix OS on it, directly to the hard drive without any kind of dual boot?
Just plain simple remix os?
yeah you can you need to remove the hdd and then install the remix on it using a second computer and then plug that HDD back into the laptop and then u will be able to boot only remix on that laptop ... good luck
It is possible, as I have detailed in my post here. If you need the code for the grub.cfg, check here.
Enjoy Remix OS on your PC!
Its actually easy - All you need to do is boot up gparted - live linux ( i used mint linux off a usb key) - run gparted, format the hd you want as ext3 or ext4, set the boot flag (under manage flags) .. then boot the remix usb key - select resident mode, you have a few seconds to add this at the end of the line INSTALL=1
hit enter.. walk through the installer, done.. once its finished remove the key, boot from HD.

Remix OS on a Cherry Trail Tablet?

Specifically attempting to install it on an HP Envy Note 8 with an Atom x5 processor and 2GB of RAM. It originally had Windows 10 on it but I've pretty much wiped it out (formatted the entire SSD including recovery partitions).
I have an 8GB flashdrive formatted to FAT32. I run the 32 bit Remix OS installer and once it finishes I use a micro USB to USB adapter to insert the flash drive. When running the 64 bit installer the Flash Drive shows up as a bootable device and up on selecting I get an error with a memory location (ex)0x8XXXXXX something.
I tried the 32 bit installer (probably should have used that in the first place) I do the same steps use the Remix OS installer Tool and start up the tablet. However this time the tablet does not recognize the flash drive as a bootable device (literally just does not show up in the list of bootable devices have re-run the installer 3-4 times with no change). I have tried it with and without virtualization enabled and with and without secure boot enabled and get the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
update: I got it to boot 64 with secure boot disabled. How do actually install the files to the local drive?
Update 2: Was able to install to the local hard drive by hitting e on the selection screen (Guest or Resident) and adding INSTALL=1 DEBUG= to the end of the parameters section but above the existing new line.
It's working and running well however the touchscreen is unresponsive any way to get that working? Right now I'm using a micro USB splitter and a keyboard/mouse plugged into the USB ports.
Im in, I'll recieve my mi Pad 2 soon (same cpu) I'll try to get it working too when I rcieve it is there a working Android solution for ur envy?

Check if reloading the modules helps.
Either #rmmod i2c_hid && modprobe i2c_hid
Or start RemixOS from fully off i.e. don't reboot from Windows

Remix OS is the only OS on my tab I did a complete re-install and disconnected the Keyboard and Mouse before boot (didn't actually do that intentionally as a troubleshooting tip I just needed to attach the charger). It's working now!
One issue after the next~ but im excited so far. Touch screen is working OS is installed.
Now I can't get the screen to rotate though. I double checked auto rotate is on and I also attempted to double tap F11 to get it to manually rotate but neither seems to work
Edit: On top of that I get stuck at a flashing Remix OS screen after reboot now that doesn't go away even after around 20 minutes of waiting.

Yes it's force locked by default (think of it in terms of a PC and that makes sense)
Have a look at one of my threads; either Overlay Apps, etc.. Or systemless root
Personally I'd try the systemless root (if you are running 64bit which I guess you are); it has rotation enabled and has that touchscreen 'fix' as a su.d (init.d) script.
So after restarting the system I'm stuck at a flashing Remix OS (Remix OS is installed to my hard drive after using the installer I removed the USB drive and my initial boot was from the hard drive not a USB) any way to get around this?! Persists even after multiple reboots. I've let it sit for around 20 minutes on this one now.

Does mount show that /data is mounted? It could be that data.img has corrupted like from a bad unmount. Not sure if you have access to it; but to confirm modify grub to use guest mode (data in ram) by adding/changing DATA_IN_MEM=1
I tried add DATA_IN_MEM=1 to the boot but it didn't seem to make a difference (although it did notably restart on it's own instead of just staying at the flashing screen) where do I need to type "mount"?

mount from same place as 'logcat' (ALT&F1)
just to check; you added the the DATA_... to the same line as linux... if so also add a DATA=

So after an attempted reinstall i get the same issue anytime I shut down and restart. The only way i can boot is from the installer screen by choosing "Run Android x86" the grub boot doesn't work
edit: using the data_in_mem and data= parameters it launches in guest mode
edit 2: guest mode keeps restarting itself and doesnt respond to keyboard input
edit 3: i had plugged in a flash drive unplugging it made it go back to the remixos logo and not boot

Can you run through your install procedure, as your installing from a wiped SSD right?

Sure
I run the "Remix OS for PC Installation Tool" from a separate windows PC and use the "USB DRIVE" option to put the 64 bit remix os files on my flash drive
I then use a powered USB HUB and a Micro USB to USB converter to plug in a keyboard and the flash drive. I hold down the volume down key on my tablet to get the boot options and then choose the flash drive as the boot drive
From there I'm given the option of "resident mode" and "guest mode" I hit "e" on the resident mode and add the lines INSTALL=1 and DEBUG= to the second from last line in the grub commands.
I then get a blue screen I choose my hard drive as the install location and choose to format it to ext4, I allow grub and grub 2 to install, and install it as "read/write". It then says "expecting to write" and then runs from 0 to 100% and says syncing to disk. From there I have the option to "Boot to Android X86" or "Restart" and I remove the flash drive.
If I choose "Boot to Android X86" it boots into remix OS and I can use it until I restart. After restart I get the flashing white Remix OS logo and it never finishes booting (just to be certain it wasn't an issue with it taking a while I literally let it sit over night for about 10 hours to see if it ever finished and it did not).
If I choose "Restart" I get the flashing white Remix OS logo after the grub screen and it never loads.
I think that should cover it.

Trying to install dual boot on Surface Pro 3

I'm trying to install Remix OS but the main issue I'm running into is the remix for pc installer will allow me to select the partition, and select the iso file but when I click OK nothing occurs, no progress screen or anything. Secure Boot is disabled, fast start turned off. Really want to get this all up and running but am at a road block. I was hoping to use the installer to deal with the windows boot manager.
Any idea why the windows remix os installer wont load and install?
