[Hashcode]

SAFESTRAP v3.11 (2nd-System Bootstrap / Recovery)

PRIOR TO UPGRADING TO V3.x FROM V2.x MOVE THE /sdcard/safestrap FOLDER FROM YOUR /sdcard TO THE /sdcard-ext. THIS OPENS UP VALUABLE INTERNAL EMMC SPACE WHERE ROM SLOTS ARE CREATED. AND KEEPS YOUR V2 BACKUPS SAFE IN CASE YOU WANT TO REVERT TO V2 AND USE THEM TO RESTORE.

** INSERT STANDARD DISCLAIMER: I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your phone using my tools. Always have a fastboot available for disaster recovery. **

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS: How to Safestrap
[ DOUBLE-CHECK you have the BIONIC/RAZR/DROID4 VERSION ]

CHANGES:

• [12/29] (3.11) Allow use of custom updater-binary in .zip files for flashing on stock ROM (virtual slots still use prebuilt updater-binary in recovery).
• [12/29] (3.11) BUGFIX: Fixed fake flash error at the end of a .zip install. (No real error, .zip installs fine)
• [12/29] (3.10) Early support for booting custom ROMs on stock partitions.
• [12/29] (3.10) Enable flashing to stock ROM *BE CAREFUL -- NEW FEATURE -- STILL TESTING*
  
  • After .zip installations, nandroid restore or system wipe on the stock ROM: the current Safestrap files are restored to the system partition (Doesn't include the APK in /data -- so if you're restoring an old backup, be sure to update the Safestrap APK)
  • During the Safestrap files restore a check is done to be sure there are minimal files on /system to re-enter Safestrap
• [12/29] (3.10) New virtual system partitions will be 640mb (closer match to stock RAZR/D4)
• [12/27] (3.07) Bugfix: missed some changes in Safestrap 3.06
• [12/26] (3.06) Bugfix/Update for JB4.1 OTA for DroidRAZR (Non-JB devices can also use)
• [10/17] (3.05) Fixed SD card / emmc sharing in recovery (UMS)
• [10/17] (3.05) Fixed recovery installation/removal from ROM-slots
• [10/14] Updated to v3.04 BETA.
• [10/14] Recovery is now based off TWRP 2.2.2.1 (fully featured touch-based recovery)
• [10/14] Can create up to 4 Virtual ROM-slots to flash ROMs to and when "Active" ALL TWRP functions affect that ROM-slot (For example: Flashing .zips, Backup and Restore)
• [10/14] Nearly instant swapping from ROM to ROM
• [10/14] User selectable data partition sizes during ROM slot creation: 1GB, 2GB or 3GB
• [10/14] ROM slots are saved on the internal emmc space so that preinstall and webtop partitions are no longer used and shouldn't break OTAs.
• [10/14] Charging in recovery
• [10/14] Supports "Reboot Recovery" from Android OS

Entry to recovery via Splashscreen on boot-up. The screen stays up for around 8-10 seconds and if you hit the menu button, it takes you to Safestrap Recovery.


KNOWN ISSUES:

• Stock flashing is currently disabled. This will be turned on in the next update or so.

SPECIAL THANKS TO:

• The entire TWRP team who has built an AMAZING recovery system.
• The testers which have helped in past and present versions of Safestrap, knowing that it could mean they brick their devices.

Hey bro, I used Motofail and I've installed Safestrap. Everything is working GREAT! But I would like to know if I should enable the "Safe System" before redownloading my favs. Like SetCPU, Titanium Backup, Rommanger, Root Explorer, Rom Toolbox and Terminal Emulator?

Oh! Never mind. I Just answered my own question. Just downloaded All of them except Rom Manager Because I have Safestrap & Rom Manager isn't needed at the moment. All of the others are working fine.

I'm new to this whole Safestrap thing but from what I understand this basically installs a "listener" for the menu button during bootup and if pressed enters Recovery? Then safe mode OFF would be the normal system and safe mode ON would be copy of the entire system that ideally is modified instead of touching the original files? Just trying to make sure I understand what I'm about to do here haha also what exactly are fastboot files? Sound to me like comparable to an SBF. Thanks guys

You are 100% correct on Safestrap. And Fastboot files are the new SBF.

Hash! Thanks for working through this. I don't have the balls until there is a full bootstrap method to get me back to 100% stock but we really appreciate all the hard work.

[cheez]

Question: I installed the early Safestrap from Hash's site that was for RAZR but described as safe to use for Droid 4. Is there any reason to update, as it seems fine the way it is right now, and if so, how would I do that? Paranoid about bricking it without fastboot.

Thanks for any help - much appreciated!

I downloaded safestrap and clicked it to install, however when i press the Install button nothing happens. I have it checked so i can install apss from unknown sources, what am i missing?

Yes, I'm rooted and Superuser is set to prompt me for software installs that require root.
