Re: Safestrap Recovery v3.1 [12/29/2012 V3.11 - Stock Flash+]

So, last night I installed safestrap on my brand new DROID4. To make a long story short, I wiped the Stock ROM slot and I have no backup. I have CM 10.1 running in ROM-Slot-1, but I'd like to restore the Stock ROM if possible.

I think there's a big complicated process to fix the error you have involving removing safestrap via ADB. I'll just make a backup and throw up a link in a sec.

EDIT:

unzip and throw it on your SD card somewhere. I'm pretty sure the default location for backups is TWRP/backups/ and just move the folder there. It's just the system, no data. Hopefully it works.

You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.

New problem: I'm awaiting my new MicroSD card in the mail. All I have at the moment is a 1GB that I had lying around which isn't large enough for this file. Anyone know where the backups go on internal storage? I tried TWRP/backups/ and I tried safestrap/backups/ but there are no packages listed.

Made a backup on my Internal to see where it saved, and it's in:

"TWRP/BACKUPS/0000000000000000/"

Why the internal storage has a folder with 16 0's I don't know, but if that folder doesn't exist yet, make it, and throw the back up in there.

think I found my problem..seems that after OTA update I am now unrooted again however I still have superuser app on there but no root access..trying to re-root now


UPDATE:

The root exploit I used couple days ago to root my phone seems to be haveing errors now and not working. Like I said before I still have SU installed but I used a few root checker apps and they are all saying I do not have root access. I have all the lastest moto drivers installed im in MTP mode and debugging enabled and also have unknown scourses checked off..am I missing something? is there a new expoit for JB? I tried OTA root keeper before installing OTA now that I remember and tried the restore root on it, and had no success anyway to get rooted again?

Seems that the root didn't carry over the update..and as for the root exploit I was running razr edge root which seems to not work on JB update. I then saw the razr blade root exploit and it worked so problem solved..you need razr blade root exploit to gain root access after JB update

Silly question? I currently have Safestrap v3.05 installed (and working fine) with (now) OTA JB installed and rooted. Is there any benefit (and/or risk) to upgrading Safestrap to v3.11? What do I need to do to make this happen?

Take a look at the change log in the OP for benefits. Really no risk going from 3.05 to 3.11. All you do is boot into stock. Open the the safestrap app. Uninstall recovery. Uninstall the safestrap app. Install the new safestrap 3.11 app. Open app and install recovery. That's it. Your existing rom slots should carry over and everything.

So, I'm about searched out here. Safestrap is not cooperating with me it seems.

Rooted
Installed BusyBox 1.21.0
Installed Safestrap
Installed recovery using app
Have NOT removed the app
Rebooted
Splash screen comes up
I hit menu, complete with haptic feedback......and it just continues to boot to the normal system like I never pressed anything at all, or pressed the search button.

Running stock OTA JB. I do have CWM Rom Manager installed. Not sure if that'll affect anything.

I made sure that I have no old Safestrap installed (went through the manual uninstallation of SafeStrap) so, I'm really kinda...stuck.

Why isn't it going into the Safestrap recovery when I hit menu? I try to make the phone boot into normal recovery via the power+vol keys, and it boots into the stock recovery just fine (bypasses the safestrap splash screen), but that's all I get for recovery. :(

Anyone else ever run in to this, and, more importantly, find a way to fix it? :p

I will tell you this happened to me. I have not fixed it, but I was able to reinstall the old 2.X Safestrap after uninstalling the 3.1 app.
It now shows the new splash screen but the old safestrap.

YMMV
