Looking for easy instructions to migrate working MAVROM 4.5 to Safestrap NON SAFE

reimer

Member
After many weeks using this ROM and never using STOCK ROM, I decided to leave MAVROM as the main ROM on my Droid 3.
Still in safestrap 1.8x as everything works flawlessly (except ADBd that I have copy when I need to use it).

So... a new route is planned:

-Update Safestrap to version 2.10
-Move my totally usable and customized Mavrom 4.5 from SAFE to NONSAFE (no need for old stock rom)
-Start experimenting with KEXEC ICS on SAFE


What do I need ?
The safest way to do this migration.

Thanks in advance!
 
Again question ... maybe now is clear

Upgrading Safestrap 1.08x to 2.10 (is ok?):

Boot on safe (Stock)
Execute Safestrap APP
Delete Boostrap
Delete Safestrap 1.08 Application
Install Safestrap 2.10 app
Install Boot strap


What happens if I copy all contents in safestrap/safe to safestrap/nonsafe and boot on nonsafe ? (after making a backup of SAFE files to other folder in external SD)

Will my Droid 3 now load old SAFE ROM on NONSAFE ? (loosing old STOCK and replacing with Mavrom that was on SAFE)
 
Pretty sure thats not gonna work..
Best way is
Open safestrat click uninstall recovery
Go to setting applications manage applications and uninstall safestrap
Download and install droid 3 bootstrap by koush
Install and setup your rom the way you like it
Go to settings applications manage applications uninstall koush bootstrapper
Install safestrap
Open safestrap and install recovery
You now have your rom on nonsafe and safemode is avalible for flashing next rom
Enjoy

If your just upgrading safestrap
Open safestrap click uninstall recovery
Go to settings applications manage application and uninstall safestrap
Install your new version
Open safestrap and click install recovery
Done
Your prior backups will still work with the new version of safestrap

Ok... I think it is the right way to do it. Good to know there is a working way.

Install and setup your rom the way you like it

So, still one "theorical" doubt on above procedure.

Replacing Safestrap by Koush bootstrap seems the way to load any Rom replacing Stock ROM as it does any Clockworks bootstrap.

But if I have a full configured working ROM and DATA and settings stored on SAFE backup .
Is there any way to replace Stock rom without starting from zero and restoring backups with Titanium ?


Thanks again for help received...
