In the past I was able to get android running on vuuno4kse. But it was far to be a working android. Netflix and prime due to missing certificates runs at low resolution. Finally since the SDK for android was leaked from somewhere there could be license issue. Then getting the same working on the other box were time consuming, so I stopped the project.
I tried also other innovative approach but drivers stopped me.

Thanks for sharing your experiences
Is there new since time of that project gives cause for optimism to be rethought?
How to get New combatable Android versions and how to build them to fit VU+ devices!
Is this from individual developers or what?
Do you think the is feasible and worth researching and developing?
It is with the same logic that the team followed in developing the internal partition on Vu devices, We hope that the dual boot (android/enigma2) will be available like other devices
Thanks again

Forget it. Too complicated, too much hardware resource to build android images.
And the resulting image was too buggy. It was fun for me but can't be released.

I used a brand new USB 3.2 Stick, a SanDisk 32GB and initialized it in ext4
I re-flashed the entire VU+Ultimo4K .
I also initialized internal SSD in ext4.
It won't flash any image in fifth slot, no matter what I try.
So, three images are in the flash, the fourth is on a USB stick and the fifth won't fit in.
It gets halfway through and says errors and restarts. Any idea is welcome.

It seems recent sandisk usb sticks are not as good as they used to be.

I have had 4 fails on me recently (some boxes won't accept them at all, others will work for a while then the stick becomes corrupt).

I would suggest trying to format it again and give it another go, and if you still get the same issue try another stick.

In the meantime could you post a debug log, so we can take a look at what is going on.

Enigma2_crash is too big, but error is mentioned here:

No thats the end result, ofgwrite has an error condition so has returned non 0 return code........

Would be interesting to see the return code from just before this crash:-
print("[ImageManager] ofgwrite retval :", retval)
and the ofgwrite output which should be there in the log

So does slot 5 show an image installed in MultiBootSelector (long press power)? and if so what happens if you try to boot it???

So unzip & copy the attachment to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/ViX and reboot, if you use Putty init 4 before copy and init 3 afterwards
Post the debug, would like to see both returns in debug from ofgwrite ...... it should not crash as before.

It had been a long, exhausting day :sick:
Flashing slot 1, 2, 3 but there was not slot 4,5,6 ...
Red button didn't create 4 more slots.
I changed several different USB sticks, of different types (USB 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2) and capacities (4GB, 16GB, 32GB)
Same problem with OBH 5.3.009.
Then I finaly try OBH 5.3.001. and everything was beautiful :) :)
I flashed also latest versions of PLI, ATV, VIX, Pure2, Vision and all of them works just fine.
So the OBH 5.3.009. is obviously not good, at least for VU+Ultimo4K
Finally I made new fatal error.
I flashed good old BlackHole 3.1.0. but I forget to replace kernel_auto.bin and of course stuck with Black Hole.
So I start flashing again from begining instead to use STARTUP_RECOVERY as described is post #1
I really do everything the hard way but

If you want to install Blackhole 3.1.0 (or your BH 3.1.0 backup) on your Solo4K you need to repack the image with the file BH Solo4K kernel_auto.bin. Download it,, unzip the image, replace the original kernel_auto.bin. Zip it again and flash it from openbh image manager

I finally succeeded, I made my big six :)
All of images work fine but first 3 (in flash) work much faster then others in USB 2.0 device.
Yesterday, during tests with many of them I noticed that USB 3.0 (3.2) is really faster.
Main image in slot 1 is OBH 5.3.001. and I won't do update/upgrade until 5.3.010 will shown cause 5.3.009 did not create 4 extra slots (red button) on my VU+Ultimo4K.
Can someone confirm which images (and versions) are also convenient for VU+multiboot, especially for VU+Ultimo4K?

43 slot
but you can do whatever you want,
for knowledge
is to understand the various images,
to test and improve everything

Few days ago I made mistake and update OBH 5.3.001. to 5.3.009.
And lost all USB slots with installed images, they are all gone.
3 Images in eMMC still works fine.
Today was a new update in 5.3.009. but VU+Ultimo4K still cannot create new slots with red button.
I hope one of future updates will fix it.

I just tested this on ultimo4k, it adds extra slots no problem.
