Stuck on the remix OS logo on resident mode

[absh...@gmail.com]

I have USB 3 and when I try to click on resident mode, it stuck on the remix OS logo.

[sa...@comp-bytes.com]

Same problem here on 2 diff. systems. One Intel and the other AMD. Remix OS logo just blinks on the screen

[Richard Coleman]

Same. I'm trying solutions on other threads to try and get past it but not managed to yet.

[Ben Rossington]

You can try different video modes by hitting TAB on the screen where you selected Resident mode.

You'll have to manually add the coding to the end of the line. I do not know it at the moment. It is in other posts in this group, and on G+.

Same here struck on remix OS logo (Resident Mode) !! Any solution ??

[Marcio Granzotto Rodrigues]

There's any reason why resident mode would need a different video mode than guest mode?

Guest mode works with: 

menuentry 'Guest mode MACBOOK - All your data and apps are saved ' --class android-x86 {

search --file --no-floppy --set=root /system.img

linuxefi /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC= DATA= DATA_IN_MEM=1 DPI=265 UVESA_MODE=2880x1800

initrdefi /initrd.img

}

But resident mode gets stuck on the remix logo with:

menuentry 'Resident mode MACBOOK - All your data and apps are saved ' --class android-x86 {

search --file --no-floppy --set=root /system.img

linuxefi /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC= DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 DPI=265 UVESA_MODE=2880x1800

initrdefi /initrd.img

}

Same here. Guest mode works great and starts fast. Resident mode has been blinking the RemixOS logo for 8 hours now. Two separate machines. USB 3 32GB stick. Retina MacBook Pro and HP Stream 11 both do the same thing.

[coreal...@gmail.com]

Same here on Macbook Pro Retina Early 2013. Guest mode works fine, resident mode never goes past logo.

[dvayn...@gmail.com]

Same here, MacBook Pro Retina 2015 model.

[congn...@gmail.com]

Me too. I got stuck at remix os logo in resident mode while guest mode is completely fine. Really need a solution.

[Michael Trim]

Same here - have had guest and resident working on MBP and Win7 - now I have reinstalled Win7 (due to separate issue) and it will not start in Resident.

Reformatted USB once, going to try again, but any pointers would be great.

[car...@gmail.com]

I have the same problem, but with hard disk installation. Someone can help me? 

[timoth...@gmail.com]

Same issue on Surface Pro 3 i3. 

Boots up just fine via USB into Guest Mode, but when trying Resident Mode it gets stuck on the blinking Remix OS screen.

What's up Remix? Any solutions coming down the pipe for this? I'm seeing this issue everywhere.

[adam mannis]

anyone ever find a solution?

[Alexandre Liberato]

I have made a walkthrough on how I did to make RemixOS work on USB 3.0 under UEFI: https://groups.google.com/forum/?nomobile=true#!topic/remix-os-for-pc/jr9Y_i8H9so

1) DISABLE SECURE MODE,

2) Change BOOT MODE from UEFI to LEGACY,

3) Try to find under your computer BIOS an option where you can disable "DISCRETE GRAPHIC ADAPTER".

After the installation on USB stick, you can ENABLE UEFI. The other 2 options have to be disabled if yo want to use RemixOS.

That worked for me.

Delete the data partition on the USB drive (created by remix) from within windows (or whatever operating system you have)

boot from the USB, on grub menu, press e to edit, remove DATA=**** from the command line and add "CREATE_DATA_IMAGE=1"

Remix will recreate the data partition and should boot normally

[Luca Fiocchi]

I have tried to delete the data partition and it has been recreated by remix. Still stuck in flashing remix logo page while in resident mode. It boots without problems in guest mode. Remix os 64, usb key 3.0 32gb.

[Luca Fiocchi]

Forgot to write that I'm testing remix os 3.0 64,from end of july

[Maison Pulaski]

I am on a MacBook Pro w/RD (Mid 2014 11,2) and I was also getting the, "stuck at RemixOS" when trying to use Resident Mode. I edited my grub.cfg ....

menuentry 'Resident mode - All your data and apps are saved ' --class android-x86 {

search --file --no-floppy --set=root /kernel

linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0 androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive DPI=227 quiet SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1

initrd /initrd.img

}  

 

....and now it boots up fine.

I am using a 128GB MicroSD card. But I don't know why that would matter, or make a difference. 

[coreal...@gmail.com]

When you formatted the SD card what did you use: MBR or GUID and did you format as FAT or something else? Thanks

[Maison Pulaski]

I first formatted the card with my Macbook. MBR & exFat. I then used a Windows machine to create the bootable SDcard. I used the Installation Tool and also used Rufus (separate occasions). I have been trying to figure some stuff out. But it does boot in Resident mode after editing the grub.cfg or, manually changing before boot each time (using "e" at grub menu when you are going to boot up and then editing the information there).

[aaroni...@gmail.com]

Thankyou for providing the solution I have been trying to figure this out for the past couple of hours! 😂 I can also confirm that changing the code in the grub.cmg file works. I have mine installed on a partition of my lenovo ideapad laptop. I'm guessing the code makes it write to the partition and not to a USB?

[Martin Rowley]

I still have no solution and dont know where to find the grub.cfg.

[Martin Rowley]

Ok the "CREATE_DATA_IMG=1" trick worked for me however it ran SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow it was painful.using a usb 3 port with a brand spanking new 32gb usb drive

[Tails Lol]

same issue with remix 3.0 204 with my gtx 980.

everything work in guest mode but in resident mode remix get stuck to the loading screen. 

[robinind...@gmail.com]

I think I got to the same point you got.
Have you managed to resolve the speed issue yet?

[fransis...@gmail.com]

its easy i had the same probleme as you 

1- you have to delete this in resident mode : SRC= DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 DPI=265 UVESA_MODE=2880x1800

2- you have to replace it by tying : install=1 or you could try this also : install=1 debug= 

3- enter or boot remix os and enjoy

[ali67...@gmail.com]

what u edit ?

[kan...@gmail.com]

when you have the choice of Resident and Guest Mode, hover on Resident Mode and press tab then type exactly this: (INSTALL 0)

afterwards it will go thru and in 2 min it should load the welcome screen. 

[pkop...@gmail.com]

Although I was using an ASUS Zenbook and completely unrelated hardware and the x64 version of RemixOS -- this fixed it for me, too.

Thank you, Maison.

[hamid...@gmail.com]

Hi,can I know how fast did it boot right after the change made.

Thanks...

[Anton Gierszewski]

hello everyone, as someone who triboots a macbook pro i can tell you that you are doing all false.

the CREATE_DATA_IMG tweak will reformat your data at each reboot.

here is what you need to do:

on grub, edit menuentry and add CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 but remove DATA=.

now let it boot up and create a data.img file. then boot back into OSX and edit your grub.cfg like this:

menuentry 'Resident mode - All your data and apps are saved ' --class remixos  --class android-x86 --class gnu-linux --class os {

search --file --no-floppy --set=root /kernel

linux /kernel root=/dev/ram0 SERIAL=random logo.showlogo=1 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet DATA=data.img USB_DATA_PARTITION=1

initrd /initrd.img

}

[cwf...@gmail.com]

Does this apply for first install? I've sat here all night trying all different things and I'm still looking at this logo. Any attempt to edit the grub following guides so far has corrupted it requiring me to create new boot media all over again so imtentative to edit the grub again.

Many thanks

[AwesomeTech10]

This would work because the Remix OS installer doesn't add a DATA partition. When you run that command, it creates a data partition, meaning Remix OS would boot properly.

[ivanadi...@gmail.com]

Same

[mikoazu...@gmail.com]

Only in that way? Install=1 debug=.
Or you maybe forget add 1 to the end like:
install=1 debug=1. ? Confirm please which is the correct
I wait for your reply.

[orwah...@gmail.com]

I deleted the data.img file in the remix os folder from another is and then booted remix os , it recreated the data.img file automatically but it was sized 8G instead of 32G but it worked perfectly
Hope this well help .

[ufighte...@gmail.com]

Same issue on Intel Core i7. I think the hard drive partition may be read only and it may have some trouble setting down there.

[je...@fam-base.net]

add  "VGA=791" to boot options, may be used in conjunction with "INSTALL=1"

[focsag...@gmail.com]

Thanks

[allso...@gmail.com]

my system doesn't have a hdd so only usb. still can't get it to work in resident mode.

anyone have any ideas?

thanks

[allso...@gmail.com]

actually i installed phoenix and it works fine! on resident mode. with no hdd

forget remix!!

[Ivan B]

RemixOS. The author drop it why you try to pick up?

[Caleb Grice]

I FIGURED IT OUT!!

Just go to DISKPART and clean the USB and then convert to MBR.

Lastly create a partition NOT in GPT Manager in Remix Installer but use the other one made for MBR!! Set the boot flag on a 1GB partition and change the TYPE to EFI Partition. Lastly Last create another Linux partition and install Remix on that in EFI Mode!! IT COMPLETELY WORKS!!

[dekrusq]

Its worka thanks
