• [09/04] (3.51) Disabled screen blank while creating a rom-slot
• [09/04] (3.51) Fixed openrecovery script processing for stock slot to re-inject hijack after .zip install (cmupdater on stock now works)
• [08/30] (3.50) If running a new CM10.1/CM10.2 ROM (08/30 or later) you *should* be able to install Safestrap and update the recovery w/o having to go back to stock. If Safestrap shows "recovery not installed" while you're on a ROM-slot, then that ROM hasn't been updated and it won't work. Swap back to stock ROM and update Safestrap from there.

• [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

• [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.


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.

As always, let me know what you think!

So happy! I'm going to use this to replace Webtop with Ubuntop. Hopefully all goes well.

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.dancedroid

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.

You need to update/install busybox and/or update your su binary.

SU binary was up to date. I didnt know we need busybox to install Safestrap.

 

[orangechoochoo]

I just installed busybox, but i still have the same problem with safestrap. Pressing install does nothing, I've downloaded the latest version four times now. The file is in the download folder of the internal sd card.

 

[guidot]

Not quite sure I know the answer.

Have you tried rebooting after installing busybox? Shouldn't have an effect but may be an answer?

Does it request root when you install the apk?

Are there any dependencies? I froze a bunch of stuff for things i dont need.

I unfroze everything and it still didnt work. I'm lost.
