Ok, so yes, you can have two. I normally keep my stock ROM on the "unsafe" system and then I have the ICS4BIONIC on my other "safe" system. Basically, boot into safestrap, make a backup of your rom, because the ones in bootstrap won't work with safestrap. Then, toggle the safe system, I always like to --> wipe cache and data, format /system, wipe dalvik, just like you would flashing a rom in the bootstrap recovery. This won't effect your other system, once it's just, just boot into it like normally, it's exactly the same as bootstrap except toggling between two "systems".
You can boot any two roms you want on safestrap, shouldn't be an issue.Thank you for the reply. I do get the concept of installing a second rom on the "safe" side, what i am wondering is if it is possible to have two stock roms. I have the stock. 893 loaded in the unsafe side as my backup, but would like to load another stock. 893 on the safe side so that i could start tinkering with it. I have tried the forever root way, but that just restores the whole phone. Also i tried the fastboot way and got the same result Sorry if i wasnt to clear on my op. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok I think we are further confusing the situation. If he is on stock+root right now, and installs safestrap, you can make a backup in nonsafe mode, of the stock+root system. However, you cannot install a ROM until you activate safe mode. Then, if there was a stock+root update.zip you could flash in safe mode, you would essentially have stock+root on both nonsafe and safe modes.
If you start on a ROM and install safestrap, your nonsafe backup would be the ROM you are on when you start using safestrap. You could then activate safe mode and flash another ROM, or stock+root update.zip file.
You hit the nail on the head. I would like to know if it is possible two have two original bionic roms working with safestrap. And if it is possiible how do i install an original stock copy on the safe side. I see many possibilities with this app especially for people like me that like to tinker...lol
Yes you can. Presently I have rooted stock rom and SD3 on the unsafe side. And liberty3, hashcodes CM9 ICS, and a rooted stock rom on the safe side. Just find a stock zip and put it on your sd card and install it with clockwork recovery. Uninstall clockwork recovery and reinstall safestrap and then back up your stock rom in unsafe mode.

I already am on a srock+rooted .893 on my unsafe side and nothing on my safe side. The process u described would put me at the same place i already am at. I would like to know how, if at all possible, if you could give me a step by step so that i can have both safe and unsafe modes running stock+rooted 893. I belive i found the right file and tried installing it through safestrap by both choosing "install from sd-card" and also " install update from zip". Both attempts ended in it booting to a black screen like there was nothing for it to boot to.
