[guide][how-to]how to boot sailfish os as a secondary rom in multirom

Hi guyz. The wait is finally over. Today I'm posting the method to use Sailfish OS as a secondary ROM in our Redmi 2/A/Prime/Enhanced, which will allow the users to test that awesome ROM without hampering the primary ROM of the device.

First things first, if you don't know how to use multiple ROMs using MultiROM, head over to the beautiful thread by @premaca : http://ift.tt/2b4A6KK

Next, if you don't know about the marvelous Sailfish OS which is made available to our device by @adeen-s till now, move to http://ift.tt/2aEagcB, download both the ROMs and save them to our device.

Let the fun begin.

STEP 1 : INSTALLING SAILFISH OS AS A SECONDARY ROM

1. Reboot to MultiROM recovery
2. Select the three line option at top right
3. Select Add ROM
4. Select both Android and Internal Storage
5. Select ZIP file
6. Flash cm12.1-2016318-UNOFFICIAL.zip
7. After the process has been completed go back to the main MultiROM menu and select List ROMs
8. Select cm12.1-20160318-UNOFFICIAL
9. Select Install zip
10. Choose the sailfish os zip file and flash it
11. After the process has been completed, REBOOT TO YOUR PRIMARY ROM. DON'T REBOOT TO cn12.1-20160318-UNOFFICIAL YET.

STEP 2 : MAKING SAILFISH READY AS A SECONDARY ROM

1. After rebooting to your primary ROM open any file explorer, and browse to /data/media/0/multirom/roms/cm12.1-20160318-UNOFFICIAL. ALL THE OPERATIONS DESCRIBED BELOW WILL BE PERFORMED UNDER THIS FOLDER.
2. Browse and delete the following files :
   ../data/.stowaways/sailfishos/lib/systemd/system/system.mount
   ../data/.stowaways/sailfishos/etc/systemd/system/local-fs.target.wants/system.mount
3. Open ../boot/ folder and delete main_init
4. Extract the attached archive to ../boot/
5. Reboot and boot to cm12.1-20160318-UNOFFICIAL USING NO-KEXEC WORKAROUND

Now Sailfish should boot as secondary. Let me know if it works. :)
